FOR HARNESS* an< * Saddle Sores Mexican Mustang Linl.
‘ W!l menfc 3S just uliat you need It takes effect
ut once, aad you will be astonished to see how quickly it heals sores.
You can burn y^ourself with Fire, with
Powder, etc., or } t ou can scald yourself
with Steam or Hot Water, but there is
only one proper way to cure a burn or
scald and that is by using
Mexican
Mustang Liniment.
It gives immediate relief. Get a piece of soft old
linen cloth, saturate it with this liniment and bind
loosely upon the wound. You can have no adequate
idea what an excellent remedy this is for a burn until
you have tried it.

Extensive areas of excellent land

Tiie Advice Came Koine to Roost.
The president of one of the promi
nent railway corporations in America
was making a stirring address to an
audience of young n: :i and dwelt
with particular emphasis on the neces
sity of making a good appearance.
“When yen are looking for work,”
j he said, “be careful that you are pre-
| sentable. If you have only $24 in
j the world, spend $20 for a suit of
| clothes, $3.59 for a pair of shoes, 50
I cents for a Lair c-ut and shave. Then
j walk up to the job wherever it is and
! ask for it like a man.”
j This advice was greeted with great
j applause, and tiie railway president
| sat down amid a storm of cheers,
j The very next morning a dapper look-
i mg young fellow walked into the outer
j office of the orator and, handing a note
i to the clerk, said, “Please give this to
j the president.” The note read as fol-
j lows:
j “I have paid $20 for this suit of
; clothes, $3.50 for a pair of shoes and
j 50 cents for a hair cut aud a shave. I
I have walked from Harlem, aud I would
i like a job as conductor on your road.”
He got the job.
REMOVING TREES.
“Grubbing:” flse Iiest nr,d Cheapest
Way—Mow to Do It.
Some years ago an effective contriv
ance was patented for pulling small
trees by horse power. We think the
machine is not now manufactured,
and in any case the common method oi
“grubbing” is found to be cheapest
and most satisfactory, says The Coun
try Gentleman. The accompanying
diagrams will help to explain the
method most commonly in vogue. The
writer has grubbed many acres of land
Waste of Postage.
i The lawyers were discussing the mer-
| Its and demerits of a well known inem-

i been gathered to bis fathers, and one
■ of the party, says the ^S'ew Orleans
| Times-Democrat. recalled the time
i when he studied in the old man’s office.
! We had a copying clerk whose in-
1 efficiency continually worked the judge
| up to the point of explosion. One day
; a wire basket fell off the top of his
| desk and . scratched his cheek. Not
| having any courtplaster. he slapped on
I three postage stamps aud went on with
I his work.
! A little later he had some papers to
; take to the United States court, and,
; forgetting ail about the stamps, he put
I on his hat and went out.
As he entered the office the judge
raised his head and fixed him with an
astonished stare. The clerk stopped
and looked frightened aud finally ask
ed:
“Anything—er—wrong, sir?”
“Yes, sir!” thundered the old gentle
man. “You are carrying too much
postage for second class matter.”
Tails of Comets.
In a memoir on the origin of the au
rora borealis Professor Arrhenius gives
a theory of the formation of the tails
of comets. A com,t revolves around
the sun under the influence of the at
traction of gravitation. The comet's
tail usually points directly away from
the sun as if repelled by that body.
The force of repulsion can be calculat
ed. The cause of the repulsion has so
far been * unexplained. The electro
magnetic theory of light (Clerk Max
well’s) involves the consequence that
a pressure is produced in the direction
! of the propagation of any wave of
; light, and this pressure can be caleu-
: Jated.
I The radiant energy of the sun can
! also be computed, it follows that the
| pressure away from the sun cn a body j
i of unit density and a cubic centimeter
j in dimension is such as to make it lose
about one ten-thousandth part of its
weight. Spectrum analysis shows that
the tails of comets are made up of gas
eous hydrocarbon compounds. Rea
sonable assumptions as to the sixes,
etc., of the molecules of such gases
give a basis for calculation. The gen
eral result is that as a comet approach
es the sun the solid or liquid hydrocar
bons of its head are vaporized by heat.
The larger particles fail toward the
sun. The very smallest are repelled
to form the tail. If the head of the
comet is homogeneous, only one tail
will be formed; if heterogeneous, a mul
tiple tail.
REMOVING A TREE.
-similar to that described by the meth
od hereinafter recommended and there

gently.
Provide a good heavy yoke of oxen—
horses er mules can be used, but they
are not entirely satisfactory. Two log
chains seven to ten feet each, a driver
and a grubber will be required. If the
tree is somewhat large, the grubber
•cuts off one or more of the roots.
The oxen are started and the opera
tor readily sees where the roots rise
on the opposite side. While they are
under strain one quick, well directed
blow with the sharp ax end of the
grubbing hoe will sever the root. The
smaller roots will he dragged out. If
the tree should be taprooted, a little
earth may have

border of the wood. As one tree is
removed another is hooked, and so
on until the end of the wood is
reached, when a reverse operation
takes place. This is to obviate the
necessity of backing the oxen and of
removing the tree after it is pulled to
a distance sufficient to allow the tree
to be pulled down at right angles to
the border of the wood.
It is readily seen that if the oxen are
driven in a direction nearly parallel
with the border of the wood but a nar
row place will Lave to be kept clear.
The grubbing hoe should be made of
the best of steel, well tempered and
be kept sharp by grinding once a day.

Hydrophobia and §1. Hubert.
It is well known that St. Hubert
(died A. D. 727) was reputed to cure
hydrophobia by touch, as kings cured
the “king’s evil.” The saint was a fa
ther before he was a saint aud left
a son. from whom descends a family,
the Lavernots, still flourishing in Picar
dy. This family claims, and the claim
is admitted throughout Picardy, to
have .inherited the magical powers of
the saint and exercises them regular
ly to this day. The neighbors still
prefer their treatment to that of the
Pasteur institute.
I)iiascr3 of the ApotIieenry.
The distilled essential oil of almonds,
which when diluted supplies the popu
lar flavoring for sweets and confection
ery known as “ratafia,” contains in Its
strongest form a sufficient percentage
of hydrocyanic acid to make it highly
dangerous. A young man who was ex
ecuting au order by pouring it from a
large bottle to a smaller one noticed
that he had not put the label quite
straight on the smaller bottle aud took
it off again. Before replacing the label
he licked it to make sure of its sticking
j properly. But while pouring he had
j inadvertently let a drop or two trickle
t on the outside of the bottle where he
had affixed the label. Then when he
touched tiie label with his tongue he
felt as if something shot along that
member and also a jump of his heart.
So he rushed to a tap, which was for
tunately close at hand, and put his
tongue under the running ivater. Never
as long as he lived, he said, would he
forget that poisoning sensation.—Cham
bers’ Journal.
An Unfortunate Answer.
Of an official who died as the head of
one of the Great Northern systems and
who was one of the fathers of modern
railroading the following story is told:
Once, when master mechanic, iie was
staying in the country. Au afternoon
walk brought him to the edge of a cut
ting through which ran his line. On a
side track lay a waiting engine. The
fireman and engineer were smoking
placidly, while the safety valve was
giving open evidence of the size of the
fire within. As the engine was doing
nothing in particular, this waste of
coal roused the ire of the man ou the
bank. “Wbo is your master mechanic?”
he inquired of the loafing fireman.
“Oh, some gray bearded, baldheaded
old biankety blank blank l'col down in
Boston,” was the cheerful answer.
“Well,” returned the other as not a
muscle of his face changed, “I'm that
gray bearded, baldheaded old biankety
blank blank fool from Boston, aud you
want to bank those fires, aud bank
them P. D. Q!”
The fireman. It is needless to say,
did as he was bid.—New York Tribune.

Agriculture Along the Yukon.

The Cat and the Tail.
Once upon a time a cat who prided
herself ou her wit and wisdom was
prowling about the barn in search of
food and saw a tail protruding from a
hole.
“There is the conclusion of a rat,”
she said.
Then she crept stealthily toward it
until within striking distance, when
she made a jump and reached it with
her claws. Alas, it was uot the ap
pendage of a rat, but tiie tail of a
snake, who immediately turned and
gave her a mortal bite.
Moral.—It is dangerous to jump at
conclusions.

little city gardens and playgrounds
measuring an eighth or tentli of an

Our First Horses.
The first horses imported into Amer
ica, says a London journal, were taken
over by Columbus on his second voy
age in 1493. Thirty years later forty-
two horses were landed in Florida, but
they ail died soon after their arrival.
De Soto, who made an expedition to
the new world in 1540-41, left a number
of fine Spanish horses behind him when
obliged to quit the country after his
conquest of Louisiana, and this stock
is thought to have formed the founda
tion of the wild horse of the southwest
ern states. In 1G04 a French immi
grant brought to Acadia a number of
animals from which the modern Cana
dian pony is thought to be descended.
Horses from Flanders were imported
into New York in 1G25.
