Hank White, the minstrel, lived In Reading, Vt, for many years. He was j rery fond . of horse races, and rarely I missed any of the meetings In Windsor or Rutland county. Once he attended a breeders' meeting at Rutland, The breeders' meetings were famous and attracted people from New York, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and all ' orer Vermont. Oa this particular day ; Ilank was seated in the grand stand, one of 5,000 people. "nod" Fish Ira, a, well known character, was driving his horse Belrldere, a very large bay horse, with not too much speed, but the owner had an Idea ' that he was a wonder. It was in the 1 free for all race. All. the horses except 1 Belvldere had passed the., grand stand , almost neck; and neck on the first half. It was a beautiful race. Trailing behind about twenty rods . came Btlvldere, the driver ; urging him on to better efforts, andtWhta be was In front of the grand stand llaak stood up and 1 yelled 1st the top of his voice: "Take the first turn to the left. Hod; all the others have cone that way." Hod drove Belvldere to the barm. Boston Herald. I Tfc Qtaccit of Sicily." Syracuse calls itself the capital of the sooth, but It has. no cause1 to dispute 1 pride of place with Palermo. The met- . ropolltan city Is superior In population, wealth and much else, bat it Is deficient In what Its ancient and glorious rival has in such abundance. For Syracuse has the supreme charm of Greece In a way that no other city except Athens has. Not even In Corinth, nowhere In Hellas from Messana or Sparta In the south to Thebes In the north, Is there any Hellenic town to compare with "the queen of Sicily." As a sanctuary, Delphi is far more impressive than anything in Sicily, as a national meeting place Olympia has no rival, but nowhere except at Athens Is a Greek city to be seen today .which has the proud record of the marvelous metropolis of the Sicilian Greeks, a city as great In-power and wealth and beauty as Athena herself, and victor at last In tho Jong and fatal rivalry which Indirectly Involved the passing of the Hellenistic dominion, of all the lands washed by the Ionian and Mediterranean seas. Century. A POTTERY. TOWN. ' CfctNe-teehn la , t'allk Any Other riac In China. For at least 000 years the town Chlngtechen, in China, has been devoted to the making1 of pottery. Everything In Chlngtechen belongs to the porcelain and earthenware Industry. The honsea are for the most part built of fragments either of old kilns or of tho fire clay covers In which the porcelain Is stacked during firing. The river bank is for miles covered with a deep stratum of broken chinawaro and chips of fire clay, and the greater part of the town and several square miles of the surrounding country are built over or composed of a similar deposit Chlngtechen la unlike anything else in China. The forms, the color, the materials used In the buildings, the atmosphere, are reminiscent of the poorer parts of. a civilized Industrial center. There are 104 large pottery kilns In the town. The greater part are In use only 'for a short season In the summer. During this busy season the population Of Chlngtechen rises to about 400,000 souls, but of this total nearly half are laborers ; drawn from a wide area of country ,v who come for the season, live In rows of barracklike sheds and do , not bring their families with them. Visitors to Chlngtechen pass along Street after street where every shop is occupied by men, women and children, all engaged In the designing, molding, painting or distributing of pottery. The liver bank Is crowded for three miles by junks either landing material and 'fuel or shipping the finished product Irish iJinsmnc Is Dlfflenlt. . 1 .The Irish language has only eighteen letters. Sometimes each letter is written separately and not Joined together. The chief difficulty In learning Irish is that there are Innumerable abbreviations for words and phrases. The Irish language Is nonphonetlc, the words rarely being a key to the correct pronunciation. Walking. An average walking pace of a healthy man or woman Is said to be seventy-five steps a minute. Bht Anchor. The "sheet anchor," the name given to the largest anchor carried by a vessel. Is really "shote anchor," and so called because of Its great weight, which makes it easy to shoot out In case of emergency. Patent Rights. Every patent contains a grant to the patentee, bis heirs or assigns, of a right to manufacture the article specified during the term of seventeen years. Soffolk, England. Not only the nasal sounds, but many American phrases, the quite common In Suffolk, England, among the farmers and the peasantry, and the stranger passing an afternoon In Woodbrldge market might fancy himself In Mas sachusetts - -

Peculiarity Manifested by n Sheet nff Water In Switzerland. Lake Morat, In Switzerland, has a queer habit of turning red about two or three times every tea years. It is a pretty lake, like most of the sheets of water in that picturesque country, and Its peculiar freak is attributed to a disposition to celebrate the slaughter of the Burgundlans under Charles tho Bold oa June 21, 1476,' but the French say that It blushes for the conduct of the Swiss, who in that battle gave the Burgundlans no quarter. This phenomenon, of course, has Its legend. The old fishermen of the lake, who catch enormous fish called silures that weigh between twenty-five and forty kilograms, say when they see the waters of the lake reddening that It is the blood of the Burgundlans. As a matter of fact, some of the bodies of the Burgundlans killed In the battle ware thrown Into the lake, while others were tossed into a grave filled with quicklime. This historical recollection angered the Burgundian soldiers of the victorious armies of the republic "In 1708 so much that they destroyed the monument raised in honor of their compatriots who fell heroically In that battle, and Henri Martin very Justly reproached them for that piece of vandalism. It would hardly do to attribute the reddening of the waters of the lake to the blood of the soldiers of Charles the Bold. The coloring Is due simply to the presence In large quantities of little aquatic plants called by naturalists Osclllatorla rubescens. The curious thing about It is that Lake Morat Is the only lake In which this curious growth is developed. THE TURKISH KAIK. It More Closely Resembles the Gondola Than Any Other Craft. Crawford, the author,' to whose skillful pen Constantinople is indebted for one of the most charming volumes ever issued In Its praise, has a word to say about the Turkish boatmen and their vehicle, the kalk. "Constantinople owes much," writes he, "to the matchless beauty of the three waters which run together beneath Its walls, and much of their reputation again has become worldwide by the kalk. It Is disputed and disputable whether the Turks copied the Venetian gondola or whether the Venetians Imitated the Turkish kalk, but the resemblance between them Is so strong as to make It certain that they have a common origin. Take from the gondola the 'felse,' or hood, and the rostrated stem and the remainder Is practically the kalk. It is of all craft of Its size the swiftest, the most easy to handle and the most comfortable, and the Turks generally are admitted to be the best oarsmen in Europe. "Indeed, they have need to be, for both the Bosporus and the Golden Horn are crowded with craft of every kind and made dangerous by the swiftest ot currents. The distances, too, are very great and such as no ordinary oarsman would undertake for pleasure or for the sake of exercise. It Is no joke to pull fifteen or sixteen miles against a stream which In some places runs four or five knots an hour." Cress Is Terr Ilealthfnl. The old Greeks and Romans held cress in the highest esteem, crediting It with wonderful restorative powers for both mind and body, possessing the double quality of food and medicine. The true epicure prefers cress, as the Frenchman does his radish, for breakfast, with a dash of salt and thin slices of bread and butter. Eocene of Savoy. Prince Eugene of Savoy. was colonel at twenty -one. lieutenant field marshal at twenty-four and shortly after general field marshal. lie gained the battle at Zenta at thirty-four and co-operated with Marlborough at Blenheim at fortv-fwi" . Protection. Mrs. Albee Of course, you married Mr. Bcbee for love? Mrs. Bebee Well, yes, I suppose you would call It that I married him to protect him from no less than three widows in our street If I hadn't snapped him up one of them would have been sure to get him. ' By imagination a man In a dungeon Is capable of entertaining himself with scenes and landscapes more beautiful than any that can be found In the jrhole compass of nature. Addison.

Edwin Abbey, the distinguished artist, is fifty-four and was born on All Fools' day. He Is noted for the Invincible cbeeriness of bis temperament Anthony de Cluny is a French art critic who is bold enough to say that the contemporary Dutch school of painting is the simplest, the strongest, the sincerest and the most vital school of art In existence at the present time. H. K. Balne, a London artist who paints In the dark, has recently executed a portrait of W. P. Frith, R. A-, for the next Royal academy exhibition, London. "I have done it In five sittings," he says. "If I had done It in the light It would have taken double the time." Sir Laurence Alma-Tadema, the distinguished painter, is a strong believer in the luckiness of numbers. His wife was seventeen when he first met her, the number of the house he first took her to when married was the same, his present house bears the same number doubled, the first spade was put to work on Aug. 17, and they took possession on Nov. 17. Four Day In the Tear. There are but four days In the year when the sun and clock exactly correspond. In other words, there are but four days of the 305 In which the sun is directly south at noon. the 15th of April and the 17th of June remember, August 81 and 24th of December. On these four days (and none else In the year) The nun and clock both the same time declare. The Miracle. Woodland What Is the difference between a wonder and a miracle?

Among elephants both sexes of the African species have Ivory tusks, while In Asia these are generally restricted to the male. The humming-bird. In protecting Its nest, always, flies at and pecks the eyes of Its adversary. Crows have been found totally blind from the humming bird's bill. The raft spider gets the name from Its habit of building a raft of dry leaves and other light materials, fastened together firmly by threads of silk. In order to pursue Its prey in the water. The Idea that the toad Is poisonous has a foundation of fact The skin secretes an acrid fluid and Just behind the head are two sacs, which, when pressed, eject a fluid that burns and stings the skin. The bustard has a pouch under his chin so capacious as to contain six or seven quarts of water. When suddenly attacked, and with no time for escape, he will turn on his enemies a violent stream from this natural reservoir. Chinese Detective. The Chinese detective force is a secret body and the best organized In the world. Its members keep an eye on every man, woman or child, foreign or native, throughout China and in addition watch each other. Marshal Saxe. Saxe was a ma,rechal-de-camp at twenty-four, marshal of France at forty-four and at forty-nine gained the famous victory at Fontenoy. - DAMES AND" DATJljHTEfTS. " Mme.

But still he had a heap of sense And always knew where he was at He were so t- 'J of good advice It almost s" .at through his ears. And you cou'u. .fely take it too; He never gave you no wrong steers. He seen, you might say. at a glance The very thing that should tie did. And there was never no complaint When people done the thing he bid. He'd tell them when to sell their hogs, He'd tell them when to cut their oats. And in the fall, as like as not. He'd tell them how to cast their votes. He wouldn't never take no pay; He only done It to be kind. To see the people get along And sort of help to lead the blind. Which shows It ain't all In the books. That there aro some few tricks outside. And so if you can read and spell You needn't be puffed up with pride. And. though you went to public school.
