A two-quart bucket on the mantel shelf then sprang out and fell to the floor at my feet. Immediately after a trevet, weighing five or six pounds, that stood by the fire, dashed out and across to where I was, striking on one of its feet and spinning around.

‘** Mr. Tradewell came in that moment and asked what ail that noise was, and just then a shovel which was back in the corner te the right of the girl came prancing out and fell with a clatter, striking Mr. Trade- well on the foot, who left, without staying to see anything more.

turf. Out of this number only ten were 6 years old or over. The percentage is alarm- ingly small. Those to reach this amount were: Big Three, $5,040; Eurus, $13.395; Exile, $13,395; Little Minch, $8,385; Tat- ‘tler, $7,237; Bess, $6,765; Swift, $6,670; | Elphin, $6,640; St. Luke, $6,565, and In- ispector B. $10,140. Of this number | Kurus broke duwn before the season was over, Exile was able to start in only a few ‘races, lnspéctor B., after racing on three ‘legs for a while was retired for the season, and Little Minch was campaigned with os- Siages on both fores as big as a man’s head.

Similar occurrences manifest themselves in every house or room where Daisy goes, so that she is not a desirable visitor. Her aunt says she cannot afford such cuostiy en- ‘ertainments for the public, and does not kuow what to do in the matter, as she can- not turn her out of doors, She says that while Daisy was eating her breakfast, the bedstead in her room was actually wrench- ed to pieces by an unseen power.

/with youngsters, and commence to get them fit to race almost before they have left their idam’s side. When El) Rio Rey was | brought out here last spring the writer saw ‘him in his stall at the fair grounds, and | was struck with his enormous size and devel- opment. Turning to Trainer McCormick |the question was put whether he was not afraid of breaking the colt down by hurry- ‘ing him. The answer came promptly: | **What’s the use of building upa big colt ilixe this unless you want to run him early? | He may never see his 3-year-old form.” This is the way all the trainers and own- ers feel. Their object is to get a good colt ‘and peund him along until he has not a good leg to stand on when he reaches his aged form. Is the trotting turf coming to this? The performances of Axtell and Sunol have given early developing a great boom, and next season promises to witness a revolution in the trotting world. What iwillthe erd be? Will the time come when ithe trotters of note 6 years of age and over | can be counted on one’s fingers as in the ;case of the thoroughbreds? Every lover of j true sport will deplore such a result.

It has been discovered that by means of the circulating blood any organ of an ani- mal can be paralyzed or stimulated into re- uewed activity if the proper material is administered. Cocaine, which has revo- lutionized delicate surgical operations, is only one of the results of this discovery. The use of Atropine by oculists is "a re- markable example: For it matters not

. how administered (even if injected inte the Horse Notes. big toe), the first effect seen is the enlarg- ing of the pupil of the eye. Another ap- plication of this discovery, as practical as any, was the idea that the great loss,suffered by poultry raisers, owing to the fact that hens stop laying during cold weather, when eggs are worth fifty cents per dozen, could be overcome, if the overies of the hen could be reached and stimulated to egg-producing activity. The experiment was crownea with success, and the chemical compounds deficient in the overies of the hens at this season are now very important components of Sheridan’s Condition Powder to make hens lay. And with its aid some of our most successful egg-raisers believe it is as easy to obtain plenty of eggs in mid-winter as to raise early vegetables. Last December the poultry editor of the N. £4. Farmer said to a subscriber: ‘* The office of Sheri- dan’s Condition Powder is tu animate the ovaries. A hen to lay profitably must be in ] ise Sheridan’s Powder because I believe that hens can be made to lay even in winter by using it, and fully twice as much profit can be made in a year from a fiock of fowls where it is used.” Is not that good evidence’ Then fores your hens to laying now, or later you will reflect,

The American trotter Gracie B., record 2.223, a daughter of Blackwood, Jr., that was sent to Europe last summer, has dis- tinguished herself by winning a 22,000- franc race at Vienna. She is owned by a Frenchman and from the fact of her win- ning a race it is judged that he has secured la driver for her. In _ her first races the owner mounted the sulky himself, but his essays iu the line of handling a trotter were uot a success. When Gracié B. was im this country she was looked upon as rather un- certain in temper, and the man who got up behind her was considered to be taknig quite a risk. Her sire, Blackwood, Jr., whose record was 2.22}, died recently in Indiana.

He was a great three-year-old in (1875 and was brought out by A J. Mc- 'Kimmin of Tennessee. Of late years he las been in the stud, being at one time iowned by the late Com. Kittson, at sale he was disposed-of. He has a number of sons and daughters in the 2.30 list.

road horse of the famous driver. Nancy, ‘whose exact blood lines are unknown, but | who has always been alluded to as a mem- tber of the Morgan family, is now thirty ;years old, and has been owned by Doble ‘for a quarter of acentury. She was sent ‘to Terre Haute by Doble in order that her ‘last days might be spent in ease and com- ‘fort, she being now too feeble for driving. ‘It weuld seem to the uninitiated that a ‘man like Doble, having in his charge a dozen or more of the finest horses in the country, each one of them requiring exer- cise every day, would naturally turn to them when he wanted a spin on the road, but such was not the case, old Nancy being his favorite foradrive. It is the same ‘with pearly every driver of prominence. The valuable trotters in his barn are care- fully exercised every day by the rubbers, but when the oss of the establishmentgoes for a drive he takes some lady’s horse. nie clinaealadlltiiauancaineianen
