<Wa?otaMW???????WW? JOCKEYS IX TRAIXIXG KEEPING THE WEIGHT DOWN IS NOT A DIFFICULT PROBLEM. Fattening Foods Are Avoided, and Judicious Exercise Is Courted?As a Rale, Riders Last a Dozen Years and as a Class Are Not Saving:. "It is a popular boilef." a well known trainer said *.o .-. r..o:*ter recently, "that a jockey in * '<> r^-ort to all sorts of injurious pracjvc-? m order to keep his weight within required limits. The idea, however, is a far stretched one. Of course a jockey has to go through certain exercises each day and lias to be very much more careful regarding what lie puts in his stomach than most people in order to keep his weight down and from acquiring a superfluity of flesh, but he certainly does not starve himself, as is generally supposed. If lie did so he would break down entirely in a very short time. A jockey must also be in the best possible physical trim and have his wits about him before a race, and to attain that he must be careful how he uses his constitution. "There are two very important things a jockey has to consider in studying his dietary. He must see to it that his food^ is of the best quality and that it contains practically 110 tiesh forming properties. 'All such fattening foods as. for instance, soups, beef, pork, potatoes, puddings and pastries a jockey must deny himself. Coffee, tea or other drinks are only taken very moderately, 2S all liquids help more or less in puiting on flesh. "Although a jockey has to eschew such foods, there are many other varieties which he gets just as much pleas g? -^ig? t'KnK n + "fit/-* coma ure ill eil LlUg UUU ? U1V.U at tut; oatut time are equally as good and strengthening for his constitution. A few days before a race a jockey who has a mount in it will not stint himself?provided he has no fear of overtipping his proper weight for the race?in anything which he thinks will not interfere with his digestive apparatus. "Some jockeys, of course, take on and lose flesh quicker than others. I have known one or two- who were particularly anxious to ride in certain races, but for which they were perhaps as much as eight or nine pounds too heavy, who reduced that weight in the same number of days. To accomplish that, however, they have to resort prac- | tically to a 'starving diet,' leaving as | little as the strain on the vitality will permit without breaking down and trying to reduce their overweight by certain sweating exercises. It is needless to say that no jockey could stand too frequent repetitions of such severe measures to subtract from his weight j without danger of permanently injuring his health and even sacrificing his life; still, many willingly resort to such i 'get light weight quick' methods where j they see good opportunities or maxing a name or a pile of money for them- j selves. "It must be remembered that by nature jockeys as a whole are not of substantial physique or imposing in height, ' although they are as tough as whipcord. If they were, therefore, to Indulge every day in the heavy bill of fare that the average business working man partakes of it is not probable that they would increase much in weight or height. You often see jockeys in the big hotels ar.d restaurants at the various racing sections after a race tucking in big and expensive dinners with a gusto and relish that would give a chronic dyspeptic an appetite for hard tack. "Walking, running, cycling, punching the bag and hurdle jumping are favor- I ite exercises among jockeys to keep their weight down. On goi&j out for a walk or run they wrap themselves in the thickest of woolen sweaters and other heavy clothing, no matter how high the temperature may be. and the exercise is kept up for a distance perhaps of eight or nine miles, or, as we say, until you are 'drowned in sweat' Turkish baths are also frequently indulged in by many, and they must wear excessively warm clothing after, and also when going for a gallop, no matter if the weather be boiling hot. "I should say that ten or twelve years is the average of a jockey's active turf life. The length of liis career, however, depends a great deal ou his ? ,1 namg aunu) auu muv. "Jockeys are not of a saving class, and with but few exceptions I know of none who has ever managed to put enough money away to keep him in even half decent comfort after retiring I from the turf. The majority, however, ! succeed in scraping up a bank roll of sufficient dimensions to start in some business. Like retired pugilists, they have a fondness for the liquor business, and I know a few one time jockeys who are prospering in that trade in different parts of the country. * Others, again, become 'bookies,' poolroom keepers and enter into such businesses as enable them to gratify their inveterate love for gambling. I know of only one ex-jockey who is an exception to this Tio some Years aco with $50,000 to his credit, and he immediately went into the real estate business in New Jersey. Today he is doing well. He was fortunate enough, however, to receive a good common school education in his early boyhood days?and that's a thing jockeys very rarely get Outside of their knowledge of horsemanship the great majority are as ignorant as red Indians."?New York Times. Money Talks. "I suppose Duinley likes to argue as much as ever and is continually worsted as usual." "No; he's more successful now since he got wealthy." "What has his wealth to do with it?"

Mr. Lexeil plunged into fresh calcula * .1 v/.li fAIITlH liUHS ;;iiU ivuuu that Jupiter was the culprit. The unfortunate cornet had been rash enough to plunge into the sphere of the giant planet's attraction, with the result that it had been completely diverted from its former orbit and flung off into Quite a different one of a twenty year period. It has never been seen again by any one on this earth and probably never will be. Jupiter was also responsible for the delay which occurred in the return of that splendid visitant known as Halley's comet. Halley fownd that be was not the first discoverer of this big comet. It had appeared at least twice previously, once seventy-flve years before and again seventy-six .rear? Derore tnar.

Miss Maude Valerie White, author of numerous popular songs, has told a | number of anecdotes, many of them at I her own expense. I suppose, she once ! wrote in the Cornhill Magazine, all ! composers have had a laugh over tlie ( extraordinary mistakes which some; times occur in the first proofs of their songs. I remember years ago writing a very sentimental song, in which the line occurred? I've never onoe regretted the vow I made that day. My feelings may be imagined when I found they had printed? I've never or.ce regretted the row I made that day. Miss White also told about an amusing mistake which occurred in the programme of one of her concerts: A well known singer and very good friend of mine was down to sing my two songs, "To Marry" and "Crabbed Age ! and Youth." But the newspaper announced something very different. Not content with drawing up a programme of my concert, it drew up a programme of my future, for I read as follows: Mr. Blank | To Marry Maude Valeria "White Crabbed Age ar.d Youth. As I am a good many years older than the friend in question, the coincidence sfwinl' mo oe nnrtwuito vlr fllllTI V ar>d oa uv. a uo ptti tivuiu* I cut the programme out of the newspaper and sent it to him. By the first ! mail next morniug I received an iden1 tical cutting from him, with an inquiry ! whether he was to take this as a formal announcement of our engagement and expressing a mild surprise that he had not been consulted in the matter. He Knew Sir Walter Scott. In a booklet called "Sir Walter Scott and His Country'' published in Edinburgh the author quotes this reminiscence from an old man he met who had known the romancer: "Aye," he minded Sir Walter fine.

A Disguised Toast. At one time the officers under Lord Howe refused to drink his health at their mess, for, though a splendid admiral, he was not popular in the navy on account of a certain shyness and want of- tact with those about him. The chaplain, who was a protege of his lordship, was mortincd at this and determined that the officers should drink to Lord Howe. When called upon for a toast one day he said, "Well, gentlemen, I can think of nothing better at this moment than to ask you to drink the first two words of the Third Psalm, for a Scriptural toast for once may be taken from one of my cloth." The toast was drunk. Xot one of the officers indicated try word or look that he was ignorant of the words alluded to. On referring to the Bible it was found that the Third Psalm begins, "Lord, how are they increased!"

The Rierid Routine Tlint Rale* the Mlddlet^ WakinK Hour*. Lot us look for a moment at the division of time in a week in the academy. The morning gun awakeus the young midshipman at 0 o'clock: lie has thirty-live minutes to dress and appear for roll call. When this is over he and his comrades march, a* once to breakfast. It is then about twenty minutes before 7 o'clock. After breakfast a short prayer is offered by the chaplain. The meal is over by I:.''/*, and then there is the sick call. Twenty minutes later the midshipmen must be in their rooms ready to go to their iirst recitation. At 7ibn they form and march to their classes in squads. At S o'clock they are called to order in their classrooms. The actual work of the day has begun early, and there has been no lagging or loading. At the Naval academy the midshipmen are trained to walk with a quick step and sit a lively gait. The men in the class squads?from six 1o twelve each?march two abreast and in close formation. It does not take them long to go from one building to another. For each midshipman there are three recitation periods of two hours each. Half of each period is devoted to study, half to actual recitation in class. The first period is from 8 to 10 o'clock in the morning, the second period from 10:1T> to 12:IS o'clock and the third period from 2 o'clock to 4 in the afternoon. Between 12:15 and 2 o'clock the midshipmen eat their dinner and have a few minutes afterward for rest. At 4 o'clock all the class work is over, but not the work of the day, for then comes the call to drill. Drill lasts an hour and a half, and it fs work, too, for the naval officer must know thoroughly the infantry and artillery practice of the soldier a_s well as his own particular branch of tlx? profession of txring ready to fight. When his task is over at 5:00 tlio midshipman has an hour and a half of reereaI if. _ rn.l. /Kit* liOIl. J.

But during tli. our they are still under the'rules gov ing general conduct When G:5.*5 comes the men are called to supper, and at 7:30 the midshipmen must be in their rooms again and at their hooks. The study period is two hours long. There is a half hour's relaxation before bedtime, during which the young men may visit each other's rooms, but at 10 o'clock all lights must | be out. For five days in the week this is the ! unvarying routine, with the exception of two hours' liberty Wednesday afternoon for the first class. On Saturday and Sunday there is a change. Varying with the length of time which they have spent in the academy, liberty is granted to all midshipmen on these two days of the week. The members of all four classes are permitted to leave the grounds after the roil call to dinner, but they must return before the I formation for supper. After the supper call the members of the first and secj ond classes have permission to go again beyond the academic limits, but they J are required to be back by 9:30. They may or may not eat their supper at the academy mess, as they desire, but they I must always report for roll call.
