An Odd Race.

A “Noah’s Ark Race” is an amusing novelty on the turf. It was introduced at the Madras fair, and was a handicap for all animals bred in the eountry, the competitors including buffaloes, elephants, a goqt. rath, emu, and elk, and other creatures, besides ponies and horses. The elephants were as placid as if moving in a marriage procession, and went over the course it a quick winsr' The fam and goat, ridden by little boys, ran well, and the buffaloes went at a good gallop; but the emu would not stir—neither would the elk, until the end of the race, when It took fright and darted the course at great speed. Finally a ram was the winner, a horse coming in second, and a buffalo third.

Howling at the Moon.

Just as some highly civilized races worship tire sun, so some people lower In the scale worship the moon. Amongst the latter may be named the Makua, of Mozambique, in Bast Africa. They are a bad lot, and give, the Portuguese much trouble. AF fuH 'mcron’ they always dance and howl most mournfully. Mr. H. H. Johnston, the traveler, says that though the authorities forbid these observances, liis Makua servants ran the risk of being whipped, and even imprisoned, rather than not go down to the beach to yell and caper on full-moon nights.

Claims amounting to $44,000,000 Lave recently been filed against the government under the Indian depredation act. The commission appointed to study leprosy in India has reported that the digease, instead ,of spreading, is on t the decrease. William Cameron and William Baxter, of Pattersonville, Ohio, recently had a hard fight with some eagles. They killed the birds of course, but were badly cut iu the fight. A professor’s chair for the history of Alsace has been founded at the Sarbonne in Paris and given to Dr. Rudolf Reuss, of Strassburg, a son of the Protestant theologian and Bible critic.

The pfpfix ta *fom(\tim t! as a title of respect to gentlewomen came into use in England during the reign of OhLrles 11., and was doubtless of French origin. As far as known the first use of the title appeared in the English parish registers in 1690.

At Mine. Tussaud’s, in London, is now to be seen the Gladstone state carriage, presented to Mr. Gladstone by his father more than fifty years ago. The only other carriages in the exhibition are those of Napoleon I. and Napoleon 111. Mr. Gladstone sold the carriage in order to obtain the money for a charitable scheme. The New York canals have been having one of the worst seasons ever known. Grain traffic has been light, but the railroads have managed to grab most of this reduced tonnage and the canal boats are rotting in idleness. Grain is being carried by the roads at rates which yield no profit and the elevators at Buffalo are said to be discriminating unlawfully against the canals.

Out of 22G.000 forms in Denmark only 1,900 are over 250 acres in extent and most of them are worked by their owners. By their great technical knowledge of their business and the gradual change from growing grain to breeding cattle and dairy farming the Danish farmers have suffered less from transatlantic competition than those of any other European country. It is estimated the American travelers this season have spent $23,000,000 in London nlone. The London Telegraph places the number "of such tourists who have visited the city this sucSmCr at 130,000. Letting that represent the whole number of Americans who have crossed over to Europe this summer, and estimating their average individual expenditures at SI,OOO, which some authorities think is too high aud others think too low, here would be an aggregate expenditure of American money in Europe this summer of $130,000,000.

Greatly Disappointed.

Famous men are not always famouslooking, and in fact the same may be said of men who .are not only famous, but great. Great generals, great poeta, great statesmen, and even great preachers have sometimes been weak In bodily presence. And still it Is natural for os to form an exalted idea of personages about whom we have read, as did a Maryland farmer's wife of whom the Detroit Free Press tells a story. She anW her husband had; gone to Washington to see the sights. They had taken fleeting observations of the State, War and Navy building, of the White House, the Treasury building,. the Patent Office, the postoffice,and then, after a hurried run about the Smithsonian and the Museum, they bad gone on to the CapitoL Here they Sad no sooner reached the rotunda than a guide offered his services. “What can you show us?” Inquired the farmer. “Everything that Is to be seen,” re plied the guide. „ “Is It wuth payin’ for?” “Well, I should say It was. This Is the finest building In the world.” “But we can see for ourselves, I reckon, can’t we?” “Oh, yes, but you won’t know half what you see. There, for instance, goes a United States Senatob,” said the guide, pointing out a well-known statesman of neither Imposing appearance nor conspicuous neathess of attire, hurrying along toward the House side. The old lady was Interested at once. She had read of Senators In the papers, and held them In great awe. It took her some time to make up her mind that what she saw was really a Senator; then she turned to her husband. ’“Huh!” she said, In a tone of sincere disappointment “Is that a Senator? Well, I thought I was goin’ to see somethin’ that was wuth lookin' at when I saw a Senator. Come on, Hiram,” she added, taking him by the arm. “If he can’t show us anythin’ better’n that, ’taint wurth payin’ for,” and she dragged her husband away.

Height of Beehives.

In many apiaries the Lives stand near the ground upon a piece of joist three or four inches wide, or upon bricks, one under each corner. .In others the hives stand a foot highland again hives may be seen two or three feet high, perched on posts. As far as the bees are concerned, it does not matter whether hives be high or low, although, Judging by the habits of-the bees, the higher the hive is the better they would like it But the bee-keeper is the one to be accommodated by the position of the hive. He will place it at the height where it will be most convenient for him. It is extraordinary that the hives In the majority of apiaries are not placed to give the bee-keeper the best advantage, owing perhaps to the idea held by some bee-keepers that it is good—essential—to have the bees near the ground. An Ohio farmer correspondent says that the best arangement for bees Is a platform upon posts sunk in the ground St frequent Interval's. If the platform have a roof, it makes It all the* better for the bees and the bee-keeper during the warm weather. The roof should be portable aud not be put on before June, because bees want all the sun tney can get up to that time.

Feeding Horses Automatically.

The Maine man who rigged up a common alarm clock so that it would open a sluice and let some grain fall into the horse’s feed box at a certain hour in the morning is doubtless an original inventor iu one sense of the term, but the plan is 4n operation in New York and other cities on a still larger scale. One clock, specially designed, is made to operate from twenty to forty clocks in a single stable, and perhaps a dozen stables are now so equipped. These are mostly owned by milk coinpanies. It Is often desirable to have horses fed at a very early hour, and this plan makes it possible to give them grain or any other dry stuff, which can be stored for hours and then dropped through a hopper long before the man who must clean and harness them Is out of bed. The boxes that contain the food over iflght have trap doors in the bottom and are provided with suitable spouts discharging into the manger. From each trap door a wire runs to the clock, which Is arranged to liberate at the designated hour a heavy weight that moves a lever to which all these wires are fastened.—New York Tribune.

The Trolley Burst His Head.

John Browkaw, a bicyclist, 24 y*ars dd, was training for a road race at Wheeling, TV. Va., last week and was uffig a trolley car In the southern suburb as a pacemaker, following the car at a safe distance. The car slackened its speed and Browkaw decided to pass It. He turned out, head down, Into the other track Just In time to collide with another car coming in the opposite direction. Ills head struck the front of the car with terrible force, bursting his skull and killing him instantly. The bicycle was not damaged.

The Light Wheel.

Those who preach in favor of the aluminum wheel, which is to come, have forgotten to give it one of the greatest virtues it will have, when it gets here, says the Wheel. Being so much lighter than others, nil the scorchers will of course ride it, so when they run over any one the injury will be very much less than that caused by the heavier wheel of steeL This alone is enough to cause an intense longing for thh speedy arrival of the weightless aluminum wheel.

HE MISSED THE FIRE.

The Child Conld Not Understand Why He Did Not Awaken, About the coffin in yybich rested the body of the fireman sav a silent-group of mourners. No one had spoken and the widow was resting iter head on her father’s shoulder, when the door opened. A little child, the 4-year-old daughter of the dead man, ran cheerily in. She had on her flowing white night-dress. She climbed a chair and looked at her father lying pallid and still. j’What’s the matter with papa?” .she. cried. , “Sh-h-h!” they said, softly. “He Is asleep, darling.” “Why does he lie in that ugly old box?” “He can sleep better there, little one. Don’t disturb him. Now go back to bed, like a good little girl.” The child moved away slowly. “Good-night, papa,” she said, In a low voice, and soon was tucked away ngainr^ The silence of the night was suddenly startled by the harsh clangor of the gong in the lire house just a few doors away as it sounded the alarm. The thrilling call was ringing the second time when the fireman’s daughter flew into the room again. Again she climbed upon the chair, and shook her father’s body by the shoulder. “Wake up, quick, papa!” she said. “There’s a fire.” Still he did not move nor open his eyes- - The strange looks of those about the bier frightened her. “Oh, papa, do wake ifp. Can’t you ireSr the Dell? you’ll miss the fire." The baby looked around in wonder. Then she tried her parting shot, which she was sure would bring her father quickly to his feet. ~ ’ ' “You’ll-niiss the-fire," she exclaimed. “Then you’ll be fined.” ■ » Even then he did not move. Puzzled and worried, the child turned around. “Papa will not go to the fire to-night,” said her mother, in a tear-stained voice. Then the widowed mother burst into tears. Repeating that she couldn’t understand, the child was quietly carried back to bed, to cry herself to sleep again.—Philadelphia Call.

Pussy and the Flypaper.

The trouble that may arise from the use of “tanglefoot” flypaper is not confined entirely to flies, as was shown in Portland, Conn., the other day. A Swede family, living on Penfield hill, purchased liberally of the paper and spread it about the house. Shortly afterwards great commotion was heard in the pantry. Investigation showed that a kitten had become mixed up with a sheet of the paper, aud in its efforts to get away had stepped on another. Crockery was knocked from the shelves and other small articles broken by the confused feline. Finally the cat rolled over on the floor, which made matters w'orse, and for a while It looked as if the house would have to be given over entirely to the pet. It was found necessary at last to shear the unfortunate cat in order to extricate It from its difficulty.

Crabs that Fight.

The bluo crab Is a natural born fighter; the probability is that he would a little rather fight than not. The spider crab is not so much of- a fighter as That; itSl, the spider win put his claws up. “There are eight or ten big spider crabs In one of the tanks at. the New York Aquarium; the biggest of them four inches in length of body and measuring eight or ten inches In spread of legs. Twp of these spiders of about equal size met In the tank the other day, and stood up on their hind legs and faced each other Ilka two boys meeting In the Btreet. Then they threw their upper legs around each other and grappled, and begun plugging away at each other with their placer claws.
