Washington Star: A noted trainer of thoroughbreds, who dropped into Washington the other day to pick out stable room for his string at the Ben nlng track for the forthcoming fall meeting, was talking of the sulking propensities of a certain clever race horse now running on the metropolitan tracks "If the people behind that horse could only find out what trifling little thing he Is sulking about,” said the trainer, "It would be worth tens of thousands of dollars to them. They could easily remedy whatever little matter It might be that is causing the horse to carry such a vast amount of poutlshness about In his midriff, and then, with his wrong redressed, he'd go right ahead and win good races un til the end of the season. "You often hear the remark that thoroughbred horses are as capricious as women. I’d rather put it that they’re as whimsical as children. “Their likes and dislikes are formed all of a sudden, like a child’s, and as often as not a thoroughbred horse has the same sort of distinctive guidance behind his whimsical notion that a child has. For example, a naturally sneaky, treacherous man has no more chance to gain the good will of a highly bred race horse than he has to gain the confidence of a child. "There Is something In both the horse and the child that tells them that the bad hearted man isn’t right. That something, I suppose, Is pure Instinct. “But horses of high caliber have an even wider range of whims. That's why every good trainer studies the kinks of every one of the horses in his charge. "About ten years ago I trained a great race horse—one of the greatest of his time—who was as calm and self contained as a priest, except for one thing. He couldn’t tolerate the sight of a man with a beard. "It was pure nervousness, of course, but you can’t tell me that that horse didn't get that aversion somewhere. We hear about children being 'marked' with some trait or characteristic by their mothers. Don't you believe that that Immortal old four footed boy I’m talking about wasn’t marked Just In the way that children are, before his birth, with that hatred for a bearded man. I believe Just as thoroughly as I believe that I'm wearing a hat that that horse's dam had been abused by some fellow with a beard, and that she transmitted her fear of and hatred for bearded men to the son, who made her name glorious as a stud matron. It may not be scientific and all that, but I know a lot of plain old facts about horses and other things that are not embraced in any system of science. "Most race horses are devoted to women. Yet I’ve trained thorough breds that had such an innate dis like for women that It was dangerous for a woman to get anywhere near them. I ve got a sjveil horse in my string now who is ‘dead gone’ on the young wife of one of the owners for whom I train, except when she approaches him with the frou-frou of a silken skirt. Then he won’t tolerate her around him at all. "The hiss and the swish of the silken skirt startles him and finally drives him into a sort of frenzy of nervous ness or resentment or whatever you want to call it. When she isn’t wear ing any rustling silken skirt to bother him, however, he is as gentle with her as a Newfoundland dog' with a baby, and bends his ears forward to her to have her rub them and muzzles her face and fair with the affection of a child. “Early environment has pretty near as much to do with the formation of a horse’s character as of a child’s. Southern bred horses, for instance, are devoted to their black care-takers, and when such horses are switched to own ers whose stable employes are all white men the horses suffer severely from lonesomeness for the negroes for a long time, and they never become entirely used to the white stable hands. On the other hand, race horses bred up north, in New York or Pennsylvania or New Jersey, say, and reared under the guardianship of white men, have an in tense aversion for the black man. “I recall the case of a fine handicap horse which had a sensational record as a two-year-old and a three-year old on the southern tracks before he changed handB and was brought to New York tracks to show his mettle. His new owner had tremendous expecta tions of that colt, but the horse raced at least thirty pounds below his true form from the outset. “From a manger glutton he became a poor feeder as soon as he was brought east, and only munched enough oats to keep himself from starvation. Two or three expert veterinarians examined the colt and found nothing that matter with him, and yet he continued to mope and to lose flesh and to go about his work in a hopeless, lackadaisical way which made it out of the question to get him to any sort of a racing edge worthy his known grand capabilities. His people couldn’t make it out. “One day a negro stable hand from another barn wandered into that colt’s stall. As soon as the colt saw and smelt the black hand, he almost ate him up alive with pure, unrestrained < Joy. He licked the black man’s hands ! and muzzled his shirt and whinnied and pawed the dirt and danced around ■ like a cra»,y horse. The trainer of the colt happened to be standing by at the time. “ 'I know what alls that colt,’ he said, the light breaking on him. ’He was born and brought up with the coons, and he’s lonesome for ’em,’ “The trainer promptly engaged three black stable hands to devote their ex clusive attention to that horse. He be gan to gorge his oats as soon as he made up his mind that the darkies were around him to stay, picked up meat and muscle, went at his work like an un leashed hound, and the next time he went to the races he bowled over his field as if they were dachshunds.” Proportion Small.

Fith Hooks of Oceania. Prom Harper's Weekly. Modern fishing tackle, as displayed In the window at the sporting goods shop, consists of an immense variety of patent appliances, each warranted to be Infallible for attracting and en snaring some particular member of the Hah tribe; but the hook, that simple, though Important feature, is absolute ly essential and has remained prac tically unchanged In form during many centuries. Probably tho earliest exam ple of a metal hook Is one that was found In Switzerland, and dates back to the bronze age. There Is no es sential difference between this ancient hook and the finest ones of steel that are produced today. To go back as far as the stone age, wo have only to turn to tho Inhabitants of Oceania, because these natives have never progressed any further In tho art of capturing fish than did their ancestors oenturies ago. Their hooks are of two main classes, those to be baited and those to be used without a bait. The former are of wood or turtle shell, fashioned either from a single piece or having tho point fastened to the shank. Most of these are intended to penetrate the mouth of the fish al though there are others that act as gorges and catoh athwart the mouth or gullet, and thus enablo the fish to be drawn up. The largest types are used In New Guinea and Micronesia for the capture of sharks, while tho Solomon Islanders have tiny shell hooks for taking mullet. The Polynesian hooks are generally barbed and some curlousf specimens have been collected In New Zealand. One of these Is made from a section of a dog’s Jaw-bone, a single tooth, which has been filed to a sharp point, being left for the barb. In this same country a hook that has been pointed with human bone is regarded as pos sessing exceptionally fine qualities for attracting the fish. The best workmanship is exhibited In the hooks which are used without bait and which correspond to our spoons. Pearl or other Iridescent sljell furnishes the part which attracts the fish, and frequently the shank consists of the ribbed part of a shell, near the hinge of the valve, thereby giving the hook a spinning motion os It Is drawn through the water. More elab orate designs have a wooden shank, neatly curved and Inlaid with a silver of halletts shell, while the barb is of sharpened bone. Tho extreme delicacy required In accurately piecing togeth er one of these composite hooks may be Imagined, and a great expenditure of time and labor Is necessary. Hence they have been preserved very care fully and only used on lines of heavy vegetable fibre which seldom break except under extraordinary strain. THE KEASON.

In the Interest excited by Che Saint Gaudens designs tar coins the existence of an entirely different double eagle made by the chief engraver of the Unit ed States mint In 1906 seems to have en tirely escaped the notice not only of the general public but even of coin collect ors, who usually keep In close touch with everything pertaining to the coin age of this country. Charles E. Barber, chief engraver of the mint, who executed Che designs for the present nickel five cent piece, the dime, the quarter and the half dollar, engraved the dies for a new $20 gold piece when a change In certain United States coin designs was proposed a few years ago. From these dies two speci mens were struck, one In gold and the other In base metal, gilded, to show the obverse design. The two pieces were placed In the coin cabinet at the Philadelphia mint, but even the coin experts have overlooked them. The obverse shows a large head of Liberty of original design. Around the borders are 13 stars and below Is the date, "1906.” The reverse Is distinctly different fro many other United States coin design. A standing female figure fills the cen ter of the field. She holds aloft In her left hand a pole, surmounted by a tiny Liberty cap, while the right hand Is placed on the hilt of a hword, the point of which rests upon the ground. Directly behind the figure Is an ag gressive looking eagle, with partly opened wings, In an attitude of protec tion. Behind the head of the figure Is a series of radiations, between them be ing the motto "In God We Trust.” Be low the figure of Liberty Is a fasces placed In a horizontal position. The edge of the gold pattern coin con tains a series of stars In rather high relief Instead of the usual reeded edge, while the edge of the piece struck In base metal Is smooth. The cabinet at the mint contains oth er pattern pieces of whloh little Is known. The reverse design of this double eagle was used by Engraver Barber as the obverse of a half dollar pattern piece struck In 1891, a specimen of which is on exhibition. On the re verse of the 1891 fifty cent piece was a small spread eagle, with wreath, stars and a band of clouds above, similiar to the reverse designs of the silver and gold pieces issued during the early part of the 19th century. Another half dollar pattern piece of 1891 has been pronounced unusually handsome. It shows the same kind of central device as the first half dollar, but without the wreath, thus permit ting the design to stand forth promi nently. These patterns and others were exe cuted In anticipation of the change In deslfen which teak place in 1898. when the well known device of a seated figure of Liberty, used since 1849, gave way to the bust of Liberty now familiar.

With this help Nature supplies the necessary strength to the stomach to digest food, build up the body and thereby throw off lingering obstinate coughs.
