Mr- Rnskin says that "horse-racing
should be conducted without whip or
cpur and only Jor a laurel crown with-
out any monev." The only race which
approaches this ideal takes place in
S eua where the reward for the win-
ning borec consists iu a public feast in
which the hor.e is toasted and partakes
himself of a bucket of wine.
Velocipedes of all kinds arc no
longer tolerated in Berlin. When they
were first introduced one of the Uni-
versity professors Dr. Traube predict-
ed that this sport like long-continued
employment at sewing machines
would lead to heart disease enlarge-
ment of the ventricles. Whether this
prediction has been verified is not
stated.

THE RUSSIAN POLICE.

Although the whole of the Russian 1
official system is not above suspicions
of corruption ami bribery the police j
of all grades are notorious both at j
homo and abioad. for barefaced impo- I
sition sind scarcely concealed extortion. '
Their rn.alpr.icii -es. as well as those of
official- in general are dwelt upon by .
every unprejud ced writer on Russian '
interior policy and have been faithful-

unfounded charge of Socialism against
Dr. nering. Although in th s instance J

through want of means or Influence on
the part of thoso oppressed by the po-
lice The Rus-ian poliee force is divided
into two distinct classes' -the polit'cal
or secret police and the civil or mu-
n e pal police. The foimer division
. pervades overy class of society and is
a nio.-t powerful instrument oi oppres-
sion in the- hands of an unscrupulous
minster. Throughput the whole of
the colossal Russian Empire and in
various foreign capitals its agents are
to : e found while the most Jtr.fling oc-
cur ioqccs capable of bearing apolitical
construction or misconstruction are
immediately reported. on to headquar-

.Thtta :Vr.;iHpc was wrrtated and
compelled to. tramp all the way to the
station sha'ply Derause-the policeman
could not read his -pass-port Dr.
Lansdell was similarly treated and
subjected to . no little indignity; for
distributing religious tracts. The in-
telligent officer being 'totally unable
to read a few simple words in his
mother tongue at once arrived at
the conclusion that the suspicious-
looking papers were Nihilistic pro-
clamation.. Such incidents are by no
means rare in the experience-of for-
eign 'travelers in Russia; the above ex-
amples of police stupidity are quoted
because they arc the latest 'with
which the public has been made
acquainted. A more important
matter however is the com-
placency with which the Russian civil
police indulge in indiscriminate arrest
on the gravest charges. No one dares
offer' aid to a dving man. or to one -supposed
to be dying in the street as the
policeman almost invariably arrests the
nearest person on a charge of murder.
This is not done from any desire to
maintain the dignity of the law but in
order to extort money f i om the accused.
Should a capital charge not be pre-
ferred against the bystanders the po-
lice have power to compel their attend-
ance daily at court for an indefinite
period to avoid which inconvenience
considerable sums are often pad by
persons who have the misfortune to be
found near a dead body. Shtchcdrin
once wrote as a squib that an enterpris-
ing rural policeman would find a dad
body a mine of wealth. lie could tako
it to a village and threaten the inhabi-
tants with a charge of murder unless a
certain bttm was collected and handed
over to him. Having recc.ved the
money he could pass on t the nct
village and repeat the proceedings
and so on until he found it con-
venient to lc.to the district without
commuircating his future address to
hissuporiorollicirs. That this is not wry
unlikely to have occurred is proved by
the fact that Mr. Mackenzie Wallace
who is probal ly the best informed En-
glish writer on llus-a having heard
the story reproduced it inh is work and
actually believed tha' the farce had
been enacted.
Hotel keepers and vodka jctailers are
looked upon by the e vit pnlieca log.t-
imate objects of plunder the same re-
mark applying in a lesser degree to
their customers. If a guct at a hotel
lo-cs am thing the police make hm
pay for laying his complaint before
them: they make the hotel keeper pay
for allowing things to be stolen and
very likely are in receipt of bribes from
the thief for not aire.-ainjr him. Thus
when practicable people tako the law
into their own hand- and settle mall
affairs by 2'iving the culpiit a sound
hiding whenever they can lay hand-;
on him. As a rule proprietors of
ki.baks. or spirt shops pav a regular

jars were all prepared Mrs. L. hired
an old darky to dig in a certain spot
where be diligently went to work. Per-
haps a quarter of an honr had passed
when the old- black man appeared
holding up a junk bottle. 'Pears if

"I goes to one place an I digs an' up

gold? For they were all carefully
sealed.

"When my husband comes in 1 will
have them opened."
'Yes. miss's" he said and turned
reluctantly to the taste. Half an hour
elap-.cd. Mrs. L. went out to look and
lo! before her bewildered sight there
was an inmensc array of bottles bot-
tles black as old Tony; bottles stand-
ing lying down bottle- everywhere.
"Isc got out a heap" said Touy look-
ing up awe-slniek. "an' dey isn't done

old man looked over his shoulder.
Ju-t then the man of the houe came
and he was more startled 'than his
wife.
It might be nitro-glycerine. you
know. '
"Good heavens! and if he broko
one with his spade we should all o to

Presently a little odd ligure wa- es-

was tiio gossip and n'W--mongcr of

directly to the L. mhu-ion. She and
Tonv made their appearance together
the latter with despair written on his

man. shaking his head mournfully;
"I se heerd o1 bottles buried up au' be-

Goodness preserve us you've found

br ghf little eyes snapping. "Well
you are lucky! There's enough for a

"Enough of what? What is it?"
asked Mrs. b.
"Whv p ckles. tomatoes ketchup

The old darky was soon appea-ed

went to .vork at tho blackberries. I

FAST TROTTERS.
A Luxury Which Kv.-ry Wo!l-to-l)ti
dinner should Knjoy.
It is a remarkable fact that while
farmers are encouraged in all -sorts of
exir.iagauces by agricultural journals
and -oeiotios in stocking their farms
w.th thoroughbred cattle sheep -wine
and poultry they are warned agam-t
thoroughbred horses notably fa-t trot-
ters with tno same earnc-tness as
again -t any moral pest lencc. A horse
that cm trqt a mile under a -:1' gait is
considered the rightful property ot pro-
fessional gamblers and an adjunct to
all sorts of wickedness.
'Ihe arguments against tast trotters
ate many but the one mo-t often urged
is to tho effect that a fast horse makes
a fast man m the corrupt sense of the
term fa-t." In a word tbe op-nion
prevails that the farmer and his sons
-o oon as they possess a hor-e of
proud pedigree with promise of great
speed are immed ately transferred
from upright honest tdlcrs of the soil
to jockeys and gamblers with no inter-
est outside of the turf. Another plea
aga nst fine roadsters on the farm is
that there is more risk and less mouey
to the tanner in the rearing and train-
ing of trotters than in the production
of general purpose and draft horses re-
markable for size and strength.
That there is ademaud at remuner-
ative prices for heavy horse- no one
disputes nor is it doubted that hor-es
of Percheron or Clydesdale origin are
valuable animals on anv farm but just
whv the-e facts sho'tld debar tine road-
sters a place along with other improve-
ments in these progressive thue-. does
not seem qui'c clear. From an eco-
nomical standpoint alone well-bred
trotters are entitled to a place ou any
1rogressive man's farm if onlv for
ireeding purpose- ina-niuch as fine
carnage and road horses always find a
ready sale. A borso to possess beauty
stvle. speed and endurance must be
well-bred hence the necessity of well-
brea sires and mares to get and to bear
the colt for roadsters. And then while
many people do not appear to know
it farmers are entitled to just as many
luxuries as are men in other walks of
life when they can afford to pay for
the same. In a word if a well-to-do
termer or his sons appreciate and take
pleasure in fine roadster there is no
law against their having one. Iadeed.
there u a striking incongruity in the
fact of. a maa'sinyeflUng thousands of
dollars in cattle and sheep with ' pedi-
grees recorded in herc-books and
driving behind a rawboned horse taken
from tbe plow pr truck-wagon which
nnder the hammer would not bring
f50.

OLD BOTTLES."

.
In the cupboards of every bouse
piled up in out-of-the-way cornors and
thrown about in dark anddu.-ty nooks
where the hou-ewife only goes once a
year when cleaning house may be'
seen empty bottles of all sires shapos
and colors. Some have curious-suaeii-ing
liquids in them that have been par-
tially used and others are di-colored
by tho drying up of their contents. A
great majority of these bottles it is
very plain to see were the rccepUiclos
lor medi ine at one time. The size and
shape denote their use eeu it the chem-
ical odor that hangs about them did
not betray the family medicine bottle.
Once a year or perhaps not more than
once in three years the clipboard
daik closets and corners of the house
are raide I and the collection of old
bottles are dumped into the nlloy the
housekeeper wondeiing how tit hap-

The ulster popular for so many
years is going out of fashion l-apidly

When used it will be clu-e fitting long

be double-stitched and the cape will
