Tlioro m a time when the wiry thoroithlireil of English lirceilinu;, niul iicrhniis tho Arntiinn 1nr1, wero lookc.t to nit tho surest ni-ntu for im proving tho common stock of horse flesh. Coiintil-tietiernl Jii'lil reports from Austria-Hungary tint tho Amer ican trotter in now tho favorite lirocil in iiso for improving tho uativo blooil. If Austria-Hungary onnnot ln bottur than to como to America for this pur purpose it nrguos well for tho superi ority of tho trottor. Ai n bemt of speed tho distinctive trottor Is nil ex ample of modern evolution. It in not many years since a speed of three minutes for a milo was reckoned good at a trotting gait. Now there in hard ly a farmer's son in the ooiiutry that loc not own a colt that "can clip a mile in throe minute, and not turn a hair," at least so tho young man Hays. A speed of two minutes is not only possible, but probible in the immedi diate future, and the time may bo not far off whon the American horse can trot alongside tho best Derby runner. With tho constant inroads or ma chinery on the field of the horse's use fulness, a change is coming in the ovo lution of the animal. Alroady electri city Htipplnnts the old horse cars, and no one is sorry. Ono nood have no sympathy for the ovor-burdonod fluid oa a h'ird gra ie. An electric, van for pare ! delivery in now working in Lou '. .ii, and is siid to be cheaporthnn hornu power. Promises havo already been made by our inventors of electric plows, and feasible plans for freight nud produce tramways across tho country on roads hitherto traversed only by tho aid of the horse and mule are suggested. The old-fashioned horsepower in running incidental ma chinery is giving place to tho "coming power." The coming horse is to bo less and less a beiist of burdon. Mirny places there are where horses will con tinue to drag heavy loads of a neces sity. The haudsomo draft horso is not yet ontiroly to ba dispensed with. But pba-iure driving will continuo to give a motive for tho improvement of tho trotting horso. The bicycles takos tho pliaa of a fow saddle horses, perh ip.i, but tho m ijority of cyclers sar for a horso just as much as boforo the silent stood came into boing. Jltny of them own a wheel who would not own a horse, but tho wheel, even if built for two, is not so agree able after all as holding the lines be hind a glossy coated, lightly stepping horso. Electrio motors for carriages are talked of, but they will bo cxpen aiva for a long time yot, and until thair proficiency is somowhat ad vituccd from the presont stago a man von with a balky horso would bo less helpless in case of acoident. Tho noble, intelligent horse will not bo lost sight of in tho advance of civ ilization. Ruliof for tho hoavior duties will leave tho more energy for tho driving, of whioh evory American cit izen of means and leisure is fond. Whatever question thero may be as to the morality or advantages of horse racing, the improvement of the trot ter has made the animal more service - able for the legitimate uses of mau. If anyonp balicves that the interest in the horse is to give plaoe before the Inroads of electrioity, let Lira attend noma great "horse convention," and note the attention paid the splendid specimens of endurance and intelli gence there on exhibition. Boston Journal. (ash and Credit Prices. "There is a commercial custom in England, as well as in many of the larger oitios of continental Europe, that ouuld be followod, I bolievo, with excellent results by the merchants and tradesmen of this country," said Ber nard White, one of the foreign buyers for a big New York dry goods house, at the Arlington. "Whon a person enters a shop in London, for instance, and selects an article he may desire, no matter what it is, and inquires the jrrioe, a certain sum is stated. If the buyer happens to have an account at the establishment and instructs sales men to charge his purchase to him be 14 politely informed that the price of the article is two or three penoe high er thau the iirst-namod cost This nystem is followed in all the better mercantile establishments in the united kingdom. The credit prioe is invariably a few pennies higher than (be same artiolo would be sold for spot oas'.i. The reason for this is very sim ple, and, I believe, entirely proper. Wu I a person buys a thing tot cash the transnetion is rinsed, and there is uo further expense involved to either party. When a person buys for credit t'uu item must bo attended to by tho bookkeeper, the services of a paid col lector are brought into requisition for tho collection of th bill, and tho run ning expenses of tho est iblishment wherein tiie trnd-i took place are thus increased. I understand that two or three of the largest and best known retail houses in Now York, who sell goods on tho credit plan, as well as for cash, are considering the feasibility of adopting a similar system in their es tablishments." Washington Htar. Chemical and fruit. Tho extent to which European fruits have como to be treated with poison ous chemicals to give them a fresh ap pearance is said to bo appalling. A Belgian periodical gives the following facts about some of these chemicals which are used : Acotato and sulphate of copper havo for a long time been employed for coloring plumbs that are too green. The color of lemons is "improved" with citronine and nap thol yellow, and tho green spots are imitated by means of diamond green. A pleasing color is given to strawber ries by sprinkling thorn with sulpho fuchsine or rhodamine, or else a mix ture of rhodamine, and azo-red is used. Nothing is easier than to give peaches a beautiful color. To this effect there is employed a mixture of rhodamine, azo-red and citronine, which is applied by means of a brush and a porforatod plate of zinc. The melon itsolf is not spared. Atro peodiue or azo-orange is introduced into tho interior by means of a tube, and care is takon to add a little essonco of melon. Apples and pears como in their turn, and pretty varieties of them aro obtained by means of ana line colors, which attack tho flesh as well as epidermis. Tho artielo goes on to say that at a recent dinner a scientist offered his guests somo pears whoso exterior seemed to bo intact, but which internally exhibited tho colors of tho French flag. The blue was obtained with Victoria blno and the red with a mixture of rhodaiuiue and axo-red. New York Sun. The Cnttleo. Among tho many straugo sights at tho Mid-wintor Fair, San Francisco, Cal., fow attracted more attention than the cattloo. The latter are, as the namo implies, a cross botwaou tho buffalo and domestic cattlo. Mtny at tempts hitherto mado in this direction failed, but W. Woavoy, of Durbiu, North Dakota, has finally succeeded in propagating a now boviuo race. This satisfactory rosult he attributes to the use of the Aberdeen Angus breed and the having the cattloo como in the spring with the grass. The moat of tho new breed sells readily. It is described as partaking of the natures of both parents, having tho richness of tho Angus with some thing of the wild flavor of the buffalo. They aro much larger than the buffalo, and show . tho hoavy shouldors and stout nock of the btiffilo, but not to the dogroe, by any means, of the lat tor animals. Altogether they aro pretty and docile animals, with boau tiful seal-brown hides, which are of uniform color, while the fur is finer and longer than that of the buffalo, to which thoy are in every way superior. The prices of these skins range from $100 to $150 apioce, so that if tho cat tle will thrive to anything like tho same extent as domestic cattlo, it would appoar as if Mr. Weavoy were in foragood thing. Courier-Journal Horseshoes of Raw Hido. Every man who has to drive over the rough city pavements is watching with interest the attempt of a Buffalo inventor to perfect a horseshoe of raw hide. The hide is compressed, and it is clairaod will wear longer than a steel shoe. Such shoes aro used suc cessfully in Germany. C. J. Hamlin of Buffalo has tried them on his horses, but his trainer says thoy shrink aud warp after the horso'a foot has been soaked. Experiments are boing made to find a waterproof dressing to prevent this troublo. If that is found, the shoes will be a success, and a great relief to horses having to ' trot over city pavements daily. New York Times. A Small Towa.

Tho latest stylo of coiffure which finds favor in Paris is long and nar row. Tho hair may be arranged in a coil or a knot, as fancy dictates, tak ing care to adjust it at a becoming point on the head, but it must be elon gated by an extra twist or two little curls at the back, which may be added for evening dress. The present mode of waving tho hair all over tho head still holds its popularity, but tho front parting, which has been such a strug gle to obtain, is to disappear entirely. The front hair is tressed lightly back, pulled down in careless waves on the forehead and nrrangod loosely at the side, so it will droop slightly over the ears in a seemingly disorderly way, which is porfectly tidy and very be coming to some faces. Every woman who wishes to look her vory best must study tho outline of her face nud shape of her head in order to arrango her hair liecomingly, and skilfully modify the prevailing stylo to display her good poiuts aud soften the defective ones. Now York World. A SALARY FOR BEIHG A LADT. The Amir of Cabul has evinced at loast one sign of originality. Flying in tho face of tradition he has chosen Miss Hamilton of Loudon to figure iu tho capacity simply of an accomplished Englishwoman for tho benefit of the ladies of the harem. Tho Amir foels the advantage ho possesses in the op portunity of knowing English gontlo men, and ho wishes the ladies of his court to have the opportunity of know ing an English lady. Miss Hamilton slugs, plays and paints, and will bo able to teach the ladies to use the doz ens of kodaks which now lie idle in the palace Hhe is also a physician, and, although sho does not go in a profes sional capacity, hopes to find opportu nities of doing useful modioal work. Miss Hamilton is well known in Cal cutta society, and hor going has made quite a sensation thore, as it is a most plucky thing for hor to go quite alono. It involved a fourteen days' march from Peshawnr, under military esnort pro vided by the Amir, who, of course, is responsible for her safety. Sua Fran oisoo Chronicle. WOMEN MISERS IN INDIA. The womon minors of India in spite of their marriages at fourteen and fif teen years of age, were strong and woll put up, and in a manner perfectly gentle and modest. Each was dresaod exactly as she would have been for any other occupation, though hor cloth and sari wore perhaps a little dirtier than thoy wonld have boon in a loss grimy culling, and each wore a mass of bangles and anklets, somo of them very interesiing specimens of barbario silver and bollmotal work. Save for a little pause of curiosity to look at me and toy clothes, they worked steadily on, pushing forward the hoavy trolleys, which, whon laden weighed about 800 weight. One or two had requests to make of the fore man as he went by, in general these being trifling thing, such as taking half a day's leave, or some little point about the land they held, but the gen eral quiet, good order, discipline and respect were all points that impressed me much. The few questions whioh I pnt to thorn about thoir hours, which are only eight a day, their food and amusoments, which seomud largely to centre in the big bazar of Sunday, were straightforwardly and frankly answered. London Graphic PRIVILEGES PENIEO TUB HEN, Certain Brooklyn womon have come to the conclusion that' the right to vote would bring with it somo duties and responsibilities which they do not care to luce.

Most all of tho skirts are made with rr.ffles, to give them weight. Largo fancy gilt rings aro appear ing upon millinery novelties. Tho height of eloganoe is shown in tho association of luce and jet. The nowest trimming used is the embroidered Swiss and tutting. A dooided union of black and yel low is more i rpular this season thau last.

Pink linen waists with trimmings of whito linen loco insertion on the colar ette, sloovcs uud belt, aro stylish and becoming. Sergo, which have been popular so many years, has had its day, and glos sy, sotin-fiuishod cloth aud tweeds are in great demand. Street suits of hair-striped or dot ted piquo have a gored skirt, open jacket, and vest of whito linen duck out doublo-broasted. An odd and novel combination is that of palo bluo with violet and also with darker shades of purple, orange with purple is also a now effect. The bodicos aro made sufficiently bolow tho waist lino to provent them 'from riding up," a thing which spoils the prettiest of round waists.

II. W. I'hklps, Lieutenant, to. II, 93th Ohio, In National Trlbuuo. WHO CHEERED JACKSON? Disbelief In the BUtement That Tankee Prisoners Did at Harper's Ferry. I have mad with Interest the article of ex Confederate Geo. D. H. Hill, in the February (1HD4) Century regarding Htutiewail Jackson, wherein be states: "The Federal prisoners always expressed a great desire to see him, and sometimes loudly cheered him. This wns particularly the case at Harper's Ferry, when the whole line of 11,000 prisonersgreet ed him with lusty shouts." Tho March f 1SU4) "Review of Reviews" al so states that "his soldiers Idolized Jackson, and 11,000 prisoners cheered him like mad nt Harper's Ferry." The writer was present In the ranks of the 111th N. Y. Oat. 15, imi, the day of our sur render. Oflr regiment had stacked arms, and the 1st H. C. innrcbed up on Bolivar Heights, near Harpers Ferry, where we had been both In camp and lino-of-bnttle previous to our surrender, and having halted, we be gan talking with our captors. A Oeneral with his start rode by, and upon Inquiry we ascortainod that it was th noted btonewall Jackitou. Not one cheer was given by as prisoners within light or hearing. Why should we cheer a rebel aenerul We had no regard for Jackson that could call from us commen dation of bis aeta or bis anions. Nay, verily, the victims of that surrender felt no lnullna tiim to cheer even a suucessfull reliel leader, H evidenced by those Identical mea there after nt Gettysburg and on many other hard fought bnttleflelibi, or la a Bouthern prison, amidst the tortures of an Audersonvillo or Hullsbury, when freedom was offered tho starving boys la blue (and Indigently reject ed) by simply putting on the gray. Cheers for Htonewall Javkcon from a Vf. eral soldier? I deny the accuaatim. While we did respect him by re anon of his suect se es and our defeats at bis bunds, at the si.-.j time we dotestod him, and deplored the fact that a man of such eminent Chrlstlui virtues, pure personal chnrncter and groat military genius should o debase himself a to glva I all to destroy the Union and eitbllsh a nation whose corner-stone should be per petual slavery of a part of the human race, nasmuch as such high authority has given iiirrenoy to this apocryphal occurrence oa he authority of General D.
