THE REUBEN AND
THE RACE HORSES
Joseph Riga and Mr. Cohen, He of
the Dundaff Surname, Have a Bace.
Horses May Be Running Yet.
Ttlvor street was Hie scene of excite
ment and fun galore, when Reuben
Cohen anil Joseph lllso met yesterday,
each holding the reins over fast horses.
Though It was the Sabbath for one ot
them, both wore in an argument with
in a live minutes conversation, in re
gard to the speed of their animals.
After both had used tiu their list of
adjectives in describing the merits of
their noble steeds, money begun to
make its appearance and a stakeholder
appointed to hold the money and pay it
over to tho man whose horse won In a
brush un Iliver and Dundaff streets.
No stipulations were nmdo as to how
tho horses would go, pace, trot or gal
lop, but when tho race was on it was a
combination of all, Anally ending in a
gallosii.
Cohen's horse showed an inclination
to come to a dead halt before the race
was any more than started, but lleltbon
called into use his whip and was soon
on even terms with l.igo. Both, on
passing Seventh avenue, were on the
dead run, and nt Salem avenue, Cohen's
liorso was in the lead; but up to an
hour after the race had started neither
man had returned to the starting point
to claim the purse. 11 is a iiuestion
whether they were able to ston the
horses before they had reached Pleas
nut Mount, or some other place up tho
state. A lost, strayed or stolen ad. will
likely locate them.
STEICKEN WITH PARALYSIS.
Mrs. Elizabeth Ling, of Fnrview
Street, in Precarious Condition.
Mrs. Elizabeth Ling, who resides at
the home of her son-in-law, James Nor
ton, on FarvJuw street, was stricken
with paralysis, and last night it was
the attending physician's opinion that
tho chances, because of her old agf,
were againt her recovery.
Mrs. Ling was prostrated during tho
parly morning hours of Saturday. She
went to bed in Iter usual state ot health,
and nboitt (I o'clock in tho morning,
when one of the household visited her
room, sho was found to be helpless,
with her power of speech broken. Her
right side is affected. As she Is past
70 years of age, there Is little hope of
her recovery. This will be depressing
news to her numerous friends and
those of the family.

gineers to remedy Hie state of affairs.
Allies Finch, Chester Dennis and
Chaiies Kcstlei- were placed under ar
rest on Frldny night, and were given
a night's lodging in the borough lock
up. It seems that for some time the
Lllllbridge Bros., of South Alain street,
have missed large quantities of oats.
As they are large stock owners, grain
is purchased by them in carload lots
and kept In a large barn nt the Lllll
bridge stock yard. Constable F. A.
Snyder has been working up the case
for nearly a month, and on Friday evi
dence enough had been procured so
that Air. John Lllllbridge had warrants
sworn out before Justice of tho Peace
S. W. Arnold for the arrest of the trio.
Allies Finch, who worked for Lilli
brldgo Bros., is believed to be tho ring
leader. At tho hearing it was learned
that the Finch boy would put up Hie
oats in bags and then during the night
the grain would be delivered to people
living in town, the boys using Lilll
brldgo Bros.' liorso and wagon to make
the delivery. Several of our citizens
are feeling a little shaky, having pur
chased grain from the trio. Dennis nnd
Kestler were given their liberty on $;,00
bull. Finch could secure no ball, and
was placed In the county jail to await
trial. Constnlile Snyder is receiving
many encomiums for his part in tho
affair.

EYES OF CHILDREN.
How We Injure the Sight of Our
Xitle Ones.
1'roin Aiiiftlcc'.s Mitcazlne.
A child's eyes are fur-sighted, and it
is only for a few moments that it
should look at anything nearer than
seventy-one yards. And yet from the
time it begins to take notice we are
forever trying to get it to see things
close to it, playthings, our own fool
ish faces, and I don't know what not.
Tho day after it was weaned we start
In to tench It to read. As soon as
ever we can, we pack it off to kinder
garten, there to be instructed in the
health-giving arts of braiding colored
paper and working at such tasks na
would make a grown person's eyes
ache.
Then we send it to the public school.
I have seen school, buildings In New
York city that the builder ought to go
to state's prison for, dark, insanitary
holes. We put the child In the pub
lic school and tell it to sit right stilt
with its nose in a book and be nice uiifl
not make a. noise, when wo know that
its nature clamors to run and play-and
jump and hallo, so as lo grow up to bo
made, of meat and not of putty. In
some public schools the great truth
that play is a wicked waste of time
has been recognized to the extent of
abolishing even the stingy fifteen min
utes' recess doled out In most Instances.
When there nro playgrounds they arc
neatly paved with artificial stone, and
almost big enough to swing a cat In.
Sometimes the play room Is in a nice,
dark cellar, where the toilet room is.
But the child may play after school
hours. Oh. bless your heart, we have
fixed that all right. Homo work. Wo
give them homo work to addh' thulr
brains over by artificial light. And If
the child is a girl wo plan how we can
make her suffer the most prolonged
agony possible In her adult life. Wo
choose tho critical tlmo nnd set her at
Hie piano. Paper can bo cut to p,lay
better than sho ever will, but that isn't
It. We want to come ns near as pos
sible to killing her without actually
doing so. No, your hour Isn't up yet,
Dorothy, You inarch right back and
don't you come out of that parlor again
till you have practiced a full hour, do
you hear mo?
We keep the poor little things up till
all hours, excite them with novels and
theaters, feed them on stimulating nnd
relatively innutritious foods, and en
courage them to poison themselves
with candy, crunched nnd gulped down
before cano sugar has been digested
In tho mouth. Wo glvo them coffee
nnd tea to set their nerves on a twit
ter. Good Lord! What don't wo do to
kill them? AVo net llko a pack of fools,
we parents, and If any of our young
ones Ilvo to bo twenty, nro tolerably
sound of mind, aren't sick more than
half the time and have at least seven
teeth that don't ache, It Is inoro by
good luok than good Judgment. Is It
nny wonder that the eyes suffer along
with tho rest of the body?
But, moat of nil, It Is tho crazy no
tion that thu child's mind Is developed
by rending that Is to blame for what
we call tho degeneracy of tho eye, Ob
serving and comparing uro what de
velop tho mind, but you can't beat
that Into n teacher's head. One of
them told mo the other day how much
better the schools were In Germany
than In this country. Little children
there, she said, do sums In long divis
ion much faster than American chil
dren. I wanted to shake her. They
keep tho German children In school
almost till the waking day, nnd tho
barbarous type they print books In In
creases the short-sightedness from 20
to 70 per cent. n tho lower grades to
00 and even 70 per cent. In the upper
grades. No wonder Germans are fo
prone to suicide! They had rather so
to tho Bad Place forever than llye a
little while In Germany,

FORTUNES IN" RICK
Vast Possible Wealth Wasted
in a
Matrimonial Custom.
I'loni the A'ow Orleans 'fimes-Bemucrat.
"If a fellow throws an old shoe filled.
with rice after you when you get mar
ried this winter, young man, go pick
every grain of it up," said a rice en
thusiast, "for there is a fortune in it.
I was just thinking today sjbout tho
vast amount of wealth that has been
wasted in this way, and It is simply
alarming when you come to think of
it. X went to tho convention of rice men
at Crowley recently, and I learned a
few things about rice that I never
knew before. Why, the possibilities of
a grain or rice will actuajly make a fel
low's head swim.
"Hero Is a grain which I have been
carrying In my pocket since the con
vention, purely for Illustrative pur
poses. I was reading In tho Plaque
mines Protector that ono grain of rice
would bring in tho llrst year sixty
bunches of rice, and that each bunch
contained HjO grains, which would givo
a total yield of 1D.O0O grains for the first
year. Now, this is no small thing, when
you como to think of It. Suppose wo
plant the 15,000 grains tho second year,
on the same basis we would have n.
yield of, 225,000,000 grains, which is 15,000
times 15,000. Now, the yield during tho
third year would amount to 15,000 times
223,000,000, on the same basis of compu
tation, which would bo 3,375,000,000
grains of rice. Now, I was reading In
another paper published In tho rleo sec
tion that there are probably 10,000
grains of rice to the pound, but this js
nn npproxlmntion. Adopting It us cor
rect, at tho end of the third year one
grain of rieo will produce 337,500,000
pounds of rice, and tho rice mathe
matician, allowing 1C2 pounds for a bur
rel ot rice, figures that this will amount
to 2,083,333 barrels.
"So you con see that I am actunlly
carrying n fortune around hero In my
vest pocket, nnd there Is plenty of
room loft, too, for such other things
us 1 mny want to put Into my pocket,
In these figures I have made no nllow
ances for those things which sometimes
happen to any kind of seed that may
bo sown, but thero Is a good lesson In
tho calculation at that. When we
como to think about tho number "f
grains of rice that have been wasted
in tho happy, practice of tossing nn old
shoo nfter the newly married couple
wo ore almost shocked at the oxtrava
ganco of the world. The rice thrown
away In this way slnco the custom
wns first launched, would have saved
tho lives of all tho peoplo who hnvn
ever starved to death since the world
began If It had been allowed- to reach
its full multiplying possibilities. So
say, young man, when the old shoe Is
thrown after you go pick every grtjln
of rice up, settlo down where rice wit!
grow, and get rich."
