It Is snld rtiut tho crowning triumph of Sir John Astlcy, Unit Inventor of iihiui'd contests, whose forte It was to arrange nues between uulmnls which nature apparently had mnde most uu sulfitile for the purtuise. wns tho In stitution or the only races that over tool; place between chickens. The story Is that the Idea came to Sir John during n visit to a friend who Kept large number of hen1?. He no ticed how rapidly the chickens! used to scurry to their mother when food was thrown to hof. This furnished the In genious Sir John with a clever notion, nnd ut mess, lie then behlg quartered at Windsor, he accordingly unfolded to his brother olllcers his plans for a great chicken race. lie bought from n farmer n hen and n brood of chickens. Each otlleer was to choose a chicken nnd mark tt with a ribbon, so that he could easily recog nize It. The chickens were to be placed nbout fifty yards uwuy from their mother, and whichever of them reached her llrst In answer to her cncklo when food wns thrown to bur was to bo ad Judged the winner. And ho this ridiculous "hen Derby" enme off In the barracks ut Windsor nnd wits witnessed by nearly tho wholo brigade of guards, who traveled down from Loudon especially to see It. The race was such n success thnt It wos arranged to repeat It the follow ing week. It might possibly hnvo be come a regular Institution and u rac ing stable of chickens might have been J added to the attractions at Windsor had not Sir John's chicken won on , each occasion with such case as to cause suspicion In tho minds ,of his competitors. Indeed, It was found, tt Is said, that in both races Sir John had selected a sturdy young cockerel who was much too Mpecdy for his sisters. When victory was n ccrtulnty for ono , particular competitor tho content, of course, lost Interest, and so tho chicken races at Windsor came to u sudden end. Now York Herald. Witness My Hand.

It was then customary to sign a documont by smoarlng tho hand with Ink and, Im pressing it upon tho paper, accompa nied by tho words, "Witness, my hand."

Mr. Gould, whllo ho could build a good road, says ho is not a public speaker, but would attond'tho mooting nnd do all In his power to holp tho good work along." TURNER'S AMBITION. Th Great Painter Aohleved It by Year of 8elf 8acrlflce. Turner could not bear to sell a fa vorite painting. Ho wns always mel ancholy nfter such n transaction. "I lost one of my children this week," he would sadly exclaim. At a meeting nt Somerset House It wns decided to pur chase his two great pictures, the "Rise" nnd tho "Pull of Carthage." for tho National gallery. A Mr. Griffiths was commissioned to offer 5,000 for them. "A noble offer." snld tho paint er, "a noble offer; but, no, I cannot part with them. Impossible." Mr. Grllllths, grently disappointed, took his leave. Turner ran after him. "Tell those gentlemen," bo snld. "thut the nation will most likely huve tho pic tures after nil." Loug before this Turner had matured a purpose which continued to bo his dominant Idea whllo life lasted. This was to be queath to his country a Turner gal lery of pictures and to amass 100,000 to build nnd endow nu asylum for de cayed artists. It was for this great object that ho denied himself all pleas ures that cost money, all luxuries. Ills resolve, once made, could not bo shak en. On one occasion ho was offered 100.000 for tho art treasures locked up In the "den." "Give mo tho key of tho house. Mr. Turner," snld a Liv erpool merclmnt, "and hero Is the money." "No, thank you," replied Turner. "I hnvo refused n better of fer." And that was true. By his will' ho bequeathed 140,000 to found an asylum for poor artists born in Eng land and n magnificent art collection to his country. This latter bequest was, however, coupled with tho con dition that his "Rlso nnd Fall of Carthago" should bo hung In tho Na tional gallery between Cluudo's "Sea port" and "Mill." London Graphic. Didn't Give Him the Chance. Schopenhauer, when staying lu Ge neva, used to go every day to a tablo d'hote at which now and then ap peared other distinguished visitors. Ouco Lady Byron snt next to him. "Doctor," said the host after sho had left, with a twluklo In his eye. "doc tor, do you know who sat next to you at tho table today? It was Lady By ron." "Why the deuco did you not tell me this before?" replied Scbopeuhnuerj "I should have liked to be rudo to her." "Thut was what I feared," said tho host, "and for that reason I kept It quiet." Very Thorough. New York's collector of customs was talking about smuggling. "Smuggling must cease," ho said. "We'll make It cease, If wo have to bo as .strict aud thorough as tho French customs offlcer. This strict officer, standing on the pier, frowned on a tourist with a swollen cheek, "Wb'af, baye you go$ there?' be said, pointing to the swelling.' " 'An abscess, sir,' was the reply.
