Lady Suffolk, First of the Army of Great Trotters. Forty-nine years ago a gray mare as- tonished the horse racing world by trot- ting a mile in 2 :2934. It was the first time a horse had been kncovn to trot a mile in less 'than 2 :30. Now, as Mr. Eamiltrea Busboy mentioned lately io Scribner's Magazine, there are 15,344 ' LADY Sue FOLK. horses than can make their mile in less than 2:30. It is quite possible that the improvements in sulkies, the pneumatic _tire and other modern appurtenances have quite as much to do with increas- ing the speed of trotting horses as im- prevenient in trotting horses themselves. The picture is from a quaint old lith- ograph iHustrating Mr. Busbey's sketch in Scribner's. Trotting under smite was much mere common half a century ago, than it is now and Lady Suffolk's best time, 2:26%, was made under the saddle when the Lady was 10 years old. She was feali;c1 in 1833. Lady Suffolk was from Messenger blood onboth sides. Alix, the little mare that made her Mile in 2:03% when ,she was only 6 years old, is also a descendant on both sides from Ethe famous old imported Messenger. Through her dam Alix's blood descends from Rysdyk's Hanable- tonian, a picture of which horse is here given. . Hambletenian, the noted old trotting sire, was a powerful horse, 153 hands high. Goldsmith Maid was another of Hambletonian's descendants. Spirit, dash 'and determination, as well as health and vigor, never show -ed more plainly than in this old horse. There is. something that reminds one 'of Job's Cheap Oxygen In the Household. Why not have your oxygen on tap? A natichine has been invented by means 1 which the householder will be enabled to esiepplythis dwelling with indefinite quantities' of the life giving gas. An he need do is to turn on the tap, and pretty soon he and the family will feel as frisky as they have a mind to. This 1 no joke, but sober, earnest. The discovery is very Important, and the best part of it is that the contrivance is so cheaii that even the poor man can afford to buy one. It will not tost'inore than $10, and. it.is warrant- ed' to last indefinitely, requiring no ex- pensive chemicals. The writer is forbidden to giVe a detail- ed description of the instrument just now, but it consists most essentially of a tube of ' soft iron and an arrangement of mag- nets. It may be put under a window like a fly screen and. will supply the additio-nal oxygen to the air that manes in. One of the machines will furnish 2 per cent of extra oxygen te a whole house if desired, but for ordinal purposes one-baLf of 1 per cent would be rnple. Tveo per cent would , unduly exhilarate the inmates, causing .them to skip around and behave them- selves, perhaps, in a manner too undigni- fied. There are other uses for this novel ap- paratus. One of the maohines placed in front of the furnace door in winter will make the fire much kotter and save a large part of the fueL Oxygen is queer stuff, and. most people have a very indistinct no- tion as to what it is, All they know is that it is a very essential constituent of air. But it is a fact that an additional fraction of 1 per cent in the atmosphere will give a nuan energy to work, Whei. without it he would feel incapable of ex- ertion. It will make the difference be- tween low epirits and a joyous etultation; hence it appears that this new inven- tion ie likely W be a boon to mankind. True, you can buy oxygen now, if you wish, but it costs' like anything.' The market price is $2,50 a pound, and that quantity is only 16 cubic feet. It comes in cylinders, compressed, and when the tank is empty you must pay to have it fill- ed. It is so expensive in Vile form that you have to economize it by holding a tube to your nose, That is not the way people want oxygen. What they require is a steady supply at a small price. Professor Dewar has solidified the gas in the shape of a clear glass at a temperature of several hundred degrees below the zero of Fahren- heit, but nobody not a millionaire can af- ford to buy such a preparation, even if it could_be taken comfortably in bites. - Washington Letter in Boston Transcript.

An electric carriage is now being manu- factured by a Chicago firm, and it is said it will soon be seen relining swiftly and noiselessly about the streets of all large 'cities. It is a decided novelty. Hereto- fore horseless vehicles have been propelled by noisome gasoline engines, which emit- ted unpleasant odors. Tho engine wader the seats jarred the vehicle, and in conse- quence the horseless carriage propelled. by such means has not been a popular success - But now electricity successfully applied to the propuleion of a street vehicle has solved this difficulty. The control of the vehicle is said to be perfect, and the speed is regu- lated by means of a simple lever. Tests have been made in crowded thoroughfares to the amazement of teamsters and driv- ers. It is run by a storage battery under the scat.' The battery is of light consteue- tion and readily recharged. The motor, by a serica- of cog wheels and a chain, is connected to a sprocket wheel on the rear axle. Some of these vehicles are designed to deeelop the high speed of 18 miles an hour. When an entire electric vehicle service is placed in a lirear stable, an elec- tric plant will be inetalled, which will cost less than the feed and care of horses. For private owners, however, an elaborate outlay is not necessary. The current from an incandescent lamp circuit is said to be sufficient to chisrge the battery.-Detrolt Free Press, 1, THE GENUINE RAZORBACK. Ile Is a Law and & Hog Unto Himself and Very Game. Paradoxical though it may seem, the genuine razorback of Louisiana and Arkansas is a thoroughbred animal, bearing the same relation to the state fair porkers as the Kentucky race horse bears to the Norman draft. Each 'is a distinct species of the same great fam- ily, and has only one characteristic in common -both are bogs, and when that is said all comparisons cease. To see the wild hog in his nativel home it is necessary to penetrate intd the depths of the river swamps, mem- panied. by a guide and several trained hog -dogs. It was my fortune to g on such an expedition into the Ouachita bottoms with a party of hog owners, who undertook the trip for the purpose of estimating the increase foi the year. Two large dogs of a breed known only in hog districts were taken along to locate the game and bring it to bay. Soon after entering the timber w heard a roar as if half a dozen lion Were holding a powwow. The nearer we approached the more emphatic were the remarks of the hogs. Suddeply °left sprang a dog from the :confines of a thicket, and, close at his heels, a huge boar with long white tusks. Foam drip- ped from hie mouth, and the red glare of his eyes was terrible. After him rushed the entire' "bunch," followed at a safe distance by the other dog. 'Mien more open ground was reached, the lead dog ended the chase by turning sudden- ly, and, with the help of his mate, bringing the hogs a secnnd time to bay. This feat was accomplished by, running several times around the bunch, each dog keeping on opposite sides and at a safe distance from the dangerous game. The adults threw themselves into a solid ut the nung, and, with eSented a formidable array. man Or beast that ap- near the ranks of these standing at bay. They strength, and nothing dan harge.

He earned for his owner in fees $2015,750 during his career as a stock horse. When he died, at the age of nearly 27, in 1876, he was decently buried and i a monument marks his grave at Ches..' ter, N. Y. Well he might have a monument. He earned it. He Liked Oysters. The manager of a big restaurant near Broad Street station vouches for this story: A day or two aseo an individual manifestly from the "roral deestricks" drifted up against the counter at which raw oysters are dispensed. "Young fellow," he re- marked to the boxman, "you kin gimme some o' them rdw eyeeters," a request which was promptly complied with. Aft- er the first half dozen had been deftly ex- trieted from their shells and tossed before the bucolio epicure the artist who was handling the oyster knife glanced up in- quiringly. Seeing the countryman still holding his fork eXpectantly poised, he continued his operations, and it was a race between the tWo until the oysterman paused to wipe the perspiration from his brow. The countreman had up to this point consumed three dozen and a half - 42 oysters. "Young feller," he drawled, "when you've opened 10 cents' wutla, I reekon you better quit. I bilieve I don't want no inore than a dime's wuth this Cane. "-Philadelphia Record. Live Stock Points. The western range horse is pat for- ward as one that will make a perfect cavalry mount, with his capacity for traveling great distances and his lung power and ability to wait a long time between meals. No doubt it the govern- ment buyers would take him up in earnest, they would have -little difficulty in securing suitable cavalry horses. The Montana range horse is especially com- mended. When a hog is sick, no matter what seems to be the complaint, put it away from the Well ones and give it no feed till it is dead or better. This is the ad- vice of a successful hog breeder. ANIMISM, The coach horses for the market are the pure or half bred Cleveland bays, French and German coachers or hack- neys. At an auction sale of carriage horses in New York lately a pair of geldings, half bred. French coacliers, brought $1,500. The best pairs of car- riage horses from American trotting stock were nowhere beside these. What our American nabobs want is not speed or even strength- in a carriage horse so much as what they call style. It is certain that the American horse breeder must import French and Ger- man coach horse blood to meet the de- mand that has sprung up for the heavy carriage ,horse. The hose wanted is ono that will hold his head knees to his chin and and showy looking. There is no accomiti The best thing to do is warm is to kill them. If they are healthy, they may be permitted in some muses to live long enough to make roast sucking pig for a family dinner. , It is row certain that animals may be vaccinated against anthrax and black leg and that the virus will "take" just as effeobnally as smallpox virus will in human beings. When calves are 6 months old they may be safely vacci- nated, and all cattle, horses, sheep, goats and mules may be vaccinated at any age. In regions where the summers aro hot and dry and the soil malarial/it is advisable to vaccinate every year.

SOME -MING ABOUT "THE SNOW OF SOUTHERN SUMMERS." How the Dainty Fleece Is Gathered -Con- stitutional Grumblers -How the Plant Is Utilized -Impetus Given to Business by the Mighty Crop. When it becomes necessary to catch one of these savage animals,a large dog, kept for the purpose, is turned loose. Sometiraes he is only a common cur, but oftener the result of a cross with d. the bulldog or bloodhotmAt all events he must be strong, active and know when to catch and how to let go, else his career will not be 101,4 Al friends informed me that once a year all persons owning hogs in the 'Woo s appoint a time and make a drive, for the double purpose of maiking the pigs and selecting the fattest candidates for he annual hog killing. It seems, however, that in some districts the hogs roans unmarked through the great woods rough wild to be handled. LandoWners living near such ranges obtain a right froM the parish to.hunt them through the fall and winter months, when they are i shot down like other wild game. An $ man found on the ranges killing , hogs without a permit is arrested and prosecuted as a common thief. i Some of the colors to be found among these animals would surprise many northern stock growers. There are sev- eral shades of blue, ranging from a leaden hue to a light azure. Then there are solid tans, and tans with dashes of white. Some are of et solid cow some are cow red with a broad vhite about the middle. Others e arrayed in shades varying lull yellow to an up country mudhole color. Brindles are numerous and blaOss are rare. The riazorback is never so happy as when the nut seas n opens; for he knows that a summers hard reoting is o'er, arid that he max begin a period of ease and luxury, withl nothing to do but eat, sleep and keep some other hog from infringing on his chkim.

[Special Correspondence.) COLUMBIA, S. C., Sept. 14. -Whoever be- lieves that cotton is not imperial in tho land of its geowth has only to step -across a well defined line as he travels southward and look' upon the thousands of acres, tweed fields caching as far as thereye can see, covered with what the poet has beau- tifully descr bed as "the snow of southern summers," The cot n. season is now at its full. The army f pickers regardless of ther- mometers, busy from morning until night, naen women and children, many an urchin arning pocket inoney enough to keep him in chewing gum iand circus tickets until long after Christrnas. With a huge bail strapped over the shoulder, they move through the green athles of plants, breast high perhaps like a line of skirmisherd plucking the dainty fleece as they march and only pausing to empty what has ben gathered in the great bas- kets placed at convenient intervals through the field. It is a pretty sight, especially when seen by the light of the harvest moon, these groups of negroe,s clad in pictur- esque garb, singing and swaying to the melody of their characteristic songs. It is doubly Cheerful to the,. planter who con- templates the prospect of a big crop and the high prices that are to swell his bank account and fill his storehouse for another year. Much of the cotton this year was in ad- vance of the usual time for picking, owing first to extremely favorable weather in many of the states anal to the fact that the planters are up to date in the ina.tter of fertilizing, subsoil plowing and. the gen- eral care of their precious crop. And yet they are constitutional grumblers If the yield promiies to be unusual, you hear the cry Of "overproduction and low prices." If a shortage is in view, there are a corre- sponding elongation of theface and gloomy predictions of dire disaster. • Too much rain makes them groan in spirit, and too much sunshine likewise casts its shadow over their expectant hearts. This year, however, the elements seem to have been adjusted to the general satisfaction, and the aspect of the community at large is one of peace and content, for you must know that every ene in the south, high and low, rich and poor, has an abiding and personal interest in "that crop." Of course, from the time that the seed is sown until the cotton is picked and •baled the snowy fleece is the creature of Some sort of speculation. Bets. are made the country store" as to whose cotton ill eome up first, who will show the first bloom to the country editor or who will pluck the first boll or send the first bale to market. This first bale, by the way, is sometimes bound in a specially attractive manner (ono went from Georgia the other day in bands of gilded iron) and come mands,a fancy pries. With all its superb promises, however, a cotton crop sometimes proves a delusion and a snare. Deceived by its looks, the planter has frequently hypothecated. all in sight, drawn on his factor and perhaps startedeon a journey of pleasure, only to be confronted by the news that the caterpillar or something worse has got into his fields and they are hopelessly ruined.

There may be conditions where it might be _advisable to breed earlier. The ad- vantages of having the sows of the herd. farrow as nearly the same dine as pos- sible are so- great that we would risk breeding some of them under that age rather than have them farirow some weeks later than the majo ity of the herd.
