In nearly all large cities are places
where horses that are completely used

sharpers manage to make an average

they can almost revive a dead horse

A plan recently introduced into
Belgium for preserving wood from
the decay produced by the atmos
phere, water, ete., ete., is to fill the
pores of the wood with liquid gutta
percha, which is said to effectually
preserve it from moisture and the ac
tion ofthe sun. The process employ
ed consists in exhausting the air from
the pores of the wood and filling them
with gutta percha solution, in pour
ing the solution into the pore. The
solid gutta percha is liquefied by
mixing it with paraffin in proportion
of about two-thirds of gutta percha
to one-third of paraflin; the mixture
is then subjected to the action of
heat, and the gutta percha becomes
sufficiently liquidto be easily intro
duced into the pores of the wood.
The gutta percha liquefied by this
process hardens in the pores of the
‘wood as it becomes cold.

where furrowed fields make generous
response to the appeal of the hus
bandman, and forests of primeval
growth keep guard over measurless
areas of soil never yet touched by the
ploughshare a land of flocks and
herds, of fruits and flowers, of grain
and grass; a land fruitful of whatever
is needed for the sustenance, the com
fort and happiness of man, for his
highest physical, intellectual and
moral developement; a land of soft
atmosphere and element skies, of bold
rivers and broad estuaries : a land of
kindly hearts and hospitable homes,
of brave men and beautiful women :
a land consecrated by noble deeds
and illustrious with immortal names,
a land of pure hearthstones and un
defiled sanctuaries—fancy such a
country, we say, and if you bea
dweller in this fair land ot the South,
look around you; beholding all you
have fancied, lift up your heart in
grateful recognition of the good Provi
dence that has placed you in the midst
of so many blessings.
| A TOUCHING SCENE.
“There was a pathetic scene on a
“train on the Western Division of the
Erie Saturday,” said a conductor on
thatroad toa New York Sunreporter.
A woman boarded the train at Olean.
‘She carried in her arms a baby but
afew weeks old. It was Very cross
and peevish, and defied all of its
nurse’s efforts to keep it quiet. Its
cries were at times so loud and piere
ing that the other passengers could
not hide their annoyance, and after
awhile audible expressions of their
feelings came from all parts of the
car. The woman was patient under
the double trial of the child’s trouble
someness and the evident knowledge
of the annoyance it was to her fel
low passengers. She talked sooth
ingly to the child, placed it in all po
sitions and tried to so arrange its
wrappings as to, in a measure, deaden
the sound of its eries. Finally some
one in the car, whose impatience had
got the better of his sympathy, shout
ed out: .
“If that child can’t be kept quiet,
I hope it may be removed from the
car at the next station 77
“This unteeling remark seemed to
meet with general approval, and the
woman’s eyes filled with tears, and in
attempting to speak her feelings over
came her and she pressed the ba
by closer to her and sobbed violently.
She soon recoverd herself and re
doubled her efforts to keep the child
quict. Forashorttime shesucceeded
somewhat, but presently the cries of
the baby were as loud and prolonged
as ever. At last a man arose and
said sharply :
“Madam, it would seem to me that
the mother of an infant shonld know
at least how to take half care of it.”
“The train had now stopped at Sal
amancy. At the remark of the sec
ond speaker the woman arose in her
seat and facing the car full of passen
gers, said, in a trembling voice:
“Tam not this poor little thing's
mother. I never saw it before yes
terday, and 1 believe it hasn’t a liv. |
ing relative. Its father was killc(li
on the railroad a week before it was
born. Its mother, living in a «]istant!
place, hurried to the scene of her
husband’s death. Thelchild was born
among strangers, and day before yes
terday the mother died, leaving her
little one with no one to care for it.
I lived in the house where the moth
er died and volunteered to do what 1
could for the poor little thing and to
go with the dead woman’s remains to
her native place. Her body ison this
train. I am sorry the child is seo
troublesome, but isn’t it entitled to
some little sympathy 7
“The effect of the woman’s words
may be imagined, There were few
dry eyesin the car when she dropped,
sobbing, into the her seat. All sel
fishness was lost in sympathetic
thoughts of the desolate little wan
derer, and a score of hands that a
moment before were almost willing
to raise in chastisement of the bab:
were now anxious to extend aid to it
and its self-sacrificing guardian. It
was a touch of nature that makes the
whole world kin.”

SOME GOOD, HARD COMMON SENSE.
The industrious, intelligent man
who works along steadily in the regu
lar line of his occupation will be bet
ter off at the end of any five or ten
years than the average of holders of
subordinate offices, just as the man
who works methodically on his farm
will be better off than 19 out of 20
who dig spasmodically in gold mines.

’ HOW TO MANAGE A MAN.
San Francisco News Letfer.
~ Nothing on earth fetches a man like
a good dinner and a well-dressed wife
presiding. The husband who can look
forward tosuch a state of things every
day of his life will never tire of home,
and the wife who studies his comfort
will have little difficulty in managing
him according to her will. Men are
gregarious animals, and will. wander
in spite of all allurements, but they
are selfish enough to remain where
they are best treated, and by taking
a little trouble for a year or two of
married life the years that follow will,
as a rule, find the husband always
glad to go back to the pretty home
where smiles await him and the din
ner I spoke of. There are so many
women who object to being “bossed,”
as they callit. My dear ladies, you
can always be boss if you ke the
trouble. By giving in you get your
own way as you never would by fight
ing for it. And, afterall, it is better
to feel you respect your husband so
much that to give in to him is not a
difficulty.
Nine men out of ten are manageble
if you go the right way about it, and
one great point is to actafter marriage
Just as you did before. Argument
and contradition are vital enemies to
married peace. Should you wish for
anything particularly, dont insist up
on it after refusal. Some women are
persistent, and ask; “Why may i
not? Why won't you dg as I tell
you ?” and irritate the man. Rather
bide your time, and make an extra
good dinner of his favorite dishes, put
a bow on of the color he likes, make
home and yourself sweeter than ever.
You'll get it sure, even if you have to
wait. Also, when you want him to
do any particular thing which you
know will be for his good, for heaven’s
sake do mnot say “Do it.” Rather
drop a hint that you think so and so
would be a good thing to do. Gethim
interested, and then let the subject
drop. Iventure to say that in a short
time that man will do precisely as you
wished ;he will never permit you to
think that he has traded the least on
your coinmon sense. |
CATTLE ON THE PLAINS,
A ranchman writing to the New
York Sun gives a sad picture of the
“cattle horror,” the result of extreme
cold weather in Western Kansas and
the Indian Territory. He says that
the losses of this winter will doubt
less wreck many cattle companies and
show staggering figures on the wrong
side of the ledger to many more ; yet
the business will still zo on, and not
until the strong hand of the law com
pels him will greedy man provide
food for his cattle during the long,
hard winters that seem to have come
to stay in the West.
Fifty per cent. loss! What does
that mean? Simply that one-half the
herd, wading mile after mile through
endless snow and storm, consumed
with thirst and flayed by the pitiless
wind, in vain search for food, shelter
and water. These gaunt specimens
of man’s brutality to animals finally
drop from sheer exaustion, and never
rise, or huddle together and pile up
and die in heaps like hogs. And the
end is not yet, for every stockman
knows that the most trying time is‘l
yet to come. Breeding cattle, starved
through the winter and weak almost
unto death, when ealving time comes
will be too weak to rise, and cow and
calf will perish where they lic.
A correspondent of the Kansas
City Journal says that on the ranch
es up in the Territory that dead cat
tle were litterally piled up. The
great difficulty is to get water for
these enormous herds. The creeks
are all frozen to the bottoms, and a
large number of cattle, in rustling
for water, slip down upon the ice,
and from prolonged fasting are so
‘weak that they cannot again get up
on their feet, and are soon chilied
through ana die. The creeks through
out the range are now strewn with
dead cattle that have thus perished.
In very severe weather cattle will
herd together very close, and when
they become very cold they will
crowd upon one another and pile up
like hogs. In this way large num
bers are killed, and bunches of dead
cattle that met their death in this
manner may be seen frequently
throughout the range. |
Thousands, ay, hundreds of thous-l
ands of famished,. starved and dead
cattle in the land where feed is plen
ty is certainly a scene that of itself
propounds the inguiry, “Why should
this state of affairs continue?”

reader, he wuz, and would sometimes
read one of your jokes in such a fun
ny way that folks would laugh.
Twan’t what wuz in the artikle but it
wuz the way he read it.
“He oughter been the editor of a
paper like yourn. That feller could
serew up his mouth an’ make a dog
laugh. He could holler jest like a
panter, an’ many a man has tuck to
his heels when he heard Oscar er yel
lin”in the woods. His daddy allus
wanted him to I'arn the shoe-makin’
trade, but he had too much ability fur
any sich foolishness as that. Ef[had
er had his nack I woulder jined a show.
He couldn’t write like a county clerk,
but what he wrote was thar. e w'n’t
hemmed in by Webster nor none of
yout spellin’ book makers. When an
idee popped into his head,- an’ they
was everlastingly a-poppin,” he jes
slammed her down an’ let old Web

could.
“1 wish he hader lived, fur it grieved
the old man, powerful when he died.
“Jist to think,’ said he to me t'urher
day at the buryin,’ that Oscar should
er destroyed so much viddults an’ then
died. It's mighty nigh more than I
could bar.” Theerd a feller say some
time ago that you was on the lookout
fur a man o'sense, so 1 thought I'd

Mercurry is more destructive to
human health and life than war, pes
tilence and famine combined. So
said a distinguished writer many
years ago, and it is as true to-day as
then. The poor victim of Blood Dis
ease is drugged with Mercury to cure
the malady, and then dosed with lo
dides to cure him of the Mercurial
Poisoning: but instead of any relief,
the first breaks down his general
health and makes him a eripple, and
the other ruins his digestive organs.
Mercury and Potash are dangerous
even when administered by directions
and under the eye ofa good physi
cian, and when put up in nostrums,
often by incompetent persons, are
apt to produce evil eonsequences. Be
caretul of these poisonous mixtures
or you may regret it. Swift’s Specfie
is entirely a vegetable prepration and
should not be confounded with the
various imitations, non secret hum
bugs, “Succus Alterans,” ete., all of
either contain Mercury and Potash,
or are composed of old remedies which
have long since been disearded as of
value in the treatment of Blood Dis
eases, and none of them contain a
single article which enters into the
composition of Swift's Specific. There
is only one Swift's Specific (8. 8. 8.)
and there is nothing in the world
like it. Be sure to get the genuine.
I have been infllicted for nearly
fourteen years with the severest form
of inflamatory rheumatism. For a
large portion of the time was confin
ed to bed, and suffered the most ex
cruciating pain, my legs badly swol
len. My case was thought ineurable
by the physicians, and I have often
hoped that death would ensue and re
lieveme of puin. Last month Isecured,
at the suggestion of a friend, one doz
en bottles ot Swift’s Specifie, and after
using about six bottles I am entirely
free from pain, the first time in near
ly fourteen years. My joints are be
coming more suple and the swelling
gone. lam ready to answer any in
quiries as to the facts in the case.

“What is the heaviest thing in the
world 77 asked young Sharply of Mrs.
Badger, his landlady, as he poised a
biscuit in his hand. -
“I should say it was money.”
“Ah?” inquired she young man.
“Yes, because you never seem
strong enough to raise sufficient mon
ey to pay your board when it is
due.”
Mr. Sharpley ecats his buscuits
now without asking any conundrums.
e A G P ee,
A man called on a druggist for
something to cure headache. The
perseription clerk promptly clapped
the amonia bottle to his nose and
nearly stifled him. On recovering
his forces he made a wicked punch
at the clerk’s head. “Hold on,” re
marked that individual, “wasn’t I
(uick about it, and didn‘t I cure your
headache?” “Headache be hanged,”
exclaimed the man, “it's my wife’s
got the headache.” -
