He came into the smoking car, anc sat down opposite and lighted bis pipe I took notice that he was a man of a least 60, and that he had his hair anc whiskers dyed and made other effortf to disguise his age. He looked sc serious and solemn as he smoked, thai I ventured to ask him if he had received any bad news. "No ; not so very bad," he answered "I was kinder tbinkin' how a man kit make a fool of himself." "We are all liable to make mistakes.' "Yes, I guess we are. How old t man would you take me to be?" "Oh, about 60." ? - " - * a 1 on "Do 1 Jook perrecuy natural r "No, sir. A man of your age shoulc have gray hair and whiskers." "Then you could tell that they were dyed?" "At the first glance." "Yes, I guess ye could," he reluctantly admitted, as he filled up foi another smoke. "That's whar I made a fool of myself. Did ye see the bride when we got on at Jackson ?" "I didn't notice. Have you beer getting married?" "Got spliced yesterday. She's in the next car back." "A girl or widow ?" "Reg'lar widow?40 years old, ownf 180 acres of land, and is gol durned good-lookin'." "Then you are to be complimented and I hope you will be very happy.' "Thanks. I should feel better if I hadn't made a fool of myself." "How was that ?" "You hit my age purty clus. Yes I'm 60 and a little over, and if I hadn'i this dye on, my whiskers would be a? white as snow. When I began to court the widow a year ago, I thought I'd spruce up and look as young as 1 could. I went to the barber and got fixed up, and it cost me 50 cents s week right along to have the dye put on." "You wanted to deceive the widow as to your age ?" "Waal, yes, I kinder wanted to b< . n aDOUC 30 or ou, you see. ruioi nuv last, this 'ere dyin' has cost me $25." "But accomplished the object." "That's what I thought all along til we got married yesterday. Then whai d'yes'pose I found out?" "She suspected the dye, perhaps.' "Nary time. Say, stranger, thai widow is nigh-sighted and color-blind to boot. She never even k no wed thai I had any hair on my head, and as foi whiskers, she thought they were white and was tickled to death about it." "Then?then?" "Then the dyin' was all blamed non sense, and I'm $25 out of pocket, anc the widow would hev bin glad 'nuff tc marry me even if I'd been cross-eyed bald-headed, bow-legged, and had lost one lung in the cornfield." Too Much for the Devil.?According to the Salem Gazette, this it Edward Hale's story: A man had sold himself to the devil, who was tc possess him at a certain time, unless he could propound a question to hi> satanic majesty which he could not answer, be being allowed to put tbre( querries to him. The time came foi the devil to claim bis own, and he consequently appeared. The first question the man asked was concern ing theology, to which it caused the devil no trouble to reply. The second he also answered without hesitation The man's fate depended on the third What should it be? He hesitated and turned pale, and the cold dew stood or his forehead, while he shivered with anxiety, nervousness, terror, and the devil sneered triumphantly. At this juncture, the man's wife appeared in the room with a bonnet in her hand Alarmed at her husband's condition she demanded the cause. When in formed, she laughed and said : "I cat propound a question which the devi himself cannot answer. Ask bin: which is the front of this bonnet.' The devil gave it up, and retired in disgust, and the man was free. 1^" One day a rich but ill natures man, who made sad havoc of the French language, called upon Jules Janin, the famous French critic, anc began a tirade upon some trivial mat ter in execrable French. After listen ing politely for sometime, Janin ai last replied to his visitor in Latin "What do you mean, M. Janin?" de manded the man, angrily ; "I don't un derstand you ; I can't speak Latin.' "Try, sir. try !" cried the great critic "you could not speak it worse than yot do French!"

There are yet plenty of farmers whc are skeptical as to the merits of wel bred pigs. To them a hog is a hog, anc that is all there is about it; and the) argue that with plenty of corn one will make fully as much again and as good pork as the other. In a ma jority of cases a careful trial would gt a long way toward proving the contra ry. One of the easiest and less ex pensive ways of making a trial is tt select one or more good sows and breed them to a thoroughbred boar, reasona bly well matured, possessing individua, merit to an extent that he will be able to transmit his good qualities to bis offspring. He will readily see that the pigs from such mating are superior in appearance and quality and will fatten more readily than the average 9crub, They will not stand ill treatment better, but will make a better showing for good treatment, a wen orea nog will make a better gain in a less time with good treatment, than a scrub, and both in appearance, when fattened, and in the quality of the meat, when butchered, will be better than the scrub. The great improvement or gain in the better bred hog is in the ability to consume more food and to make a better return for it. The farmer that breeds the better pig with the expectation that he will fatten in less time with less ration, will undoubtedly be disappointed. A pure bred pig will degenerate very rapidly if neglected. One advantage with a scrub hog is that he does not have far to go to reach nothingness, and in consequence will stand a considerable amount of ill treatment without any great appreciable effect. To make the most out of good breed, good feed and care are essential, and they will always show to a better advantage than with the scrub. With good treatment a well bred pig can be finished for market in from seven to nine months, while the scrub will require from twelve to fifteen to make the same weight, while the quality of the meat of the better bred pig will be much superior and a trial carefully made will be sufficient to demonstrate this.?Texas Farm and Ranch. CUT GREEN BONE HELPS OUT. Years ago the poultry business was not as lucrative as it is at the present time. During the winter months, although our poultry was well sheltered and fed, and great care used to keep the building clean, giving plenty of fresh water, air, etc., we found at the opening of the spring, we had no remuneration for our labor, as cost of grain, scraps, potatoes, etc., far exceeded the income of eggs. We have now a better way of feeding, and most excellent results have followed. We feed cut green bone in fair quantity every other day, and some of the time every day. They are inexpensive, and with a good bone cutter they make, when cut fresh every day, so nice a food that we only liken to a nice rare steak to a hungry man. The fowls love it. They thrive and the chickens grow rapidly when fed on it. The mineral part of this food gives chickens material for their growing bones, and for the laying hens the shell, while the meat, gristle and juices in these green bones give material for the flesh of the growing chick ens and interior of the egg in abundance. So now our fowls, instead of being over fat in winter, are giving us eggs; instead of being a sorry-looking, dejected, unprofitable lot during the moulting period, they are wide-awake and strong, and many of tbem go so far as to give us eggs regularly at this time. The grain bill being largely reduced, the egg yield being increased, and no loss from sickness, all aid in making our wiuter and spring record very encouragiug, and no one could induce us to neglect the feeding ol green bone freshly cut at all seasons ol the year.?E. H. Davis, in Poultry Monthly. A Mother's Remedy for Croup. The following sensible letter of "Hattie" we find in the Cincinnati Enquirer: "For the benefit of those who do not know how to cure the croup, I will send a neverfailing remedy. I have always doctored my own children when they had the croup, and I have had over 30 cases, and I have never lost one. Immediately after the first symptoms, take the child on your lap and wrap it in a warm blanket, putting it snugly around the sufferer. Then have a warm fire built, and sit as close to it as possible. Next" give a double dose of castor oil; put then about a quart of strong vinegar in a coffee-pot, and make it boiling hot. Now open the lid, and let the little patient inhale the steam. This will soon give relief. Iudeed, they will grab for it after they have tried it. I have cured membranous croup in this way when everything else had failed. But no time should be lost in commencing, and as soon as the child is moist with sweat, and wants to sleep, put it in bed." Don't Bandage Sore Eyes.?The custom, prevalent among physicians as well as the laity, of tightly bandaging or tying up the eye as soon as it becomes inflamed or sore, is a bad one. The effect upon the eye is bad. It precludes the free access and beneficial effects of the cool air, and at the same time prevents or greatly retards the free egress of the hot tears and morbid secretions of the inflamed conjunctivo or cornea, or both. In those cases, too, where a foreign substance has got into the eye, the bandage (which is usually clapped on first thing) presses the lids more closely against the ball and thus increases the pain and discomfort by augmenting the lacerations caused by the foreign body. This cannot fail to be harmful. In those cases where the light is painful adjust over the organ a neatly fitting shade, which, while it excludes the' light, allows the free access of air.?Herald of Health. pisreUanwus grading. Oatmeal Food.?The appetite of ) ten craves food which the stomach re 1 jects ; but a long period of forcing en | ables it to receive it under protest r Nor is it the quantity of food tha . nourishes, but the quality. A poun< [ of choice meats at 20 cents is worth aj . much nutriment as two pounds of in > ferior meats at 10 cents. An egg i: . one of the best and most nutritiou: . articles of diet that can be put on th< i table, and the less it is cooked th( | more valuable its digestive and assimi . lating properties. Since oatmeal hai | become a delicacy, retailing all tlx i way from 4 to 25 cents a pound, peo i pie of wealth add it to their cuisine a; a valuable breakfast dish. Carlyh t says of Lord Macaulay : "Well, anj i one can see that you are an honesi , sort of fellow made out of oatmeal.' There is a story told of a sbrewc ; Scotchwoman who used to tell hei fine healthy bairns, "The one thai s eats the maist parritch will get tlx maist meat." And when the meal came there was no room for it. The apologist for a national dish . says: "If oatmeal can make such mec as Sir Walter Scott, Dr. Chalmers and Lord Macaulay, we may heap high tbf , porridge dish and bribe our children tc ; eatit. One thing we do know. It is far better for the blood and brain than cake, confectionery and the score ol delicacies on which many pale children are fed by their foolish mothers.' Bran for Milk.?There is no bet ter food to make a large quantity ol good milk than wheat bran. It should ! be made into slop with tepid watei for cows that have recently calved But if fed coutiuuously without grain , bran will not keep the animal in good condition, and she will be constantly giving accumulated fat from her body to put into the milk pail i This makes the cow a poor milker the following season. An old dairyman once remarked that in years following large corn crops cows were apt to make more butter than iu years not thus fa vored. When there is plenty of corn ii is fed freely, not only keeping up a milk flow, but leaving the cow at calving time iu good condition. There is com paratively little danger that a cow will become too fat while giving milk, so as to endanger her at calving time , Light and laxative food at this time will cause the cow to pass through this period iu safety. After calving lime has passed, the fatter a good cow is the better, for much of this fat the next montns win go mio me mint pan to increase the butter product. A Singer's Experience.?A noted American singer is fond of telling of e little experience she had in Boston . once upon a time. She was to sing at an evening concert, and a carriage was to be sent for her. She wasstaying al the time with a friend, who had a suit of rooms in a large apartment-house, in which the tube system of communication with the outer World prevailed, i It was past the time when the carriage i should have appeared, and the lady ? was growing a little nervous. She was sitting with her wraps on, when the i bell rang furiously. Hurrying to the tube herself, the prima donna said "Well ?" The reply came in a voice heavilj charged with irritation, r "I'm a hackman," said the voice i "an' I was sent here to get some cus , sed lady, an' I don't know what in t time her last name is ! I've rang ever) bell in this house ! Are you her?" i When informed that the "cussed i lady" herself was speaking to him he coolly replied: "Well, come on ; we'll have to lop< it all the way to the hall to get then on time." Kill Women and Children.?Tbt ' story of a horrible atrocity committed by Spanish soldiers comes from Cubs under date of Thursday. Not long ago, while a regiment of soldiers wen on the march from one town to anoth er, they passed a group of about 21 women and children. One of the wo 1 men made a sneering remark about the Spaniards and it was overheard, The soldiers were so exasperated that they immediately turned against the ' women and children and butchered ' them all. At first it was sought* tc keep the matter quiet; but it turned 1 out that two of the murdered wo men were wives of loyal Spanish citizens engaged in the saw mill business i not far away. When they learned how their loved ones had been treated they immediately laid the matter before General Campos, who ordered that the leader of the troops by wbono the outrage was perpetrated be court martialed. t P3T One of the most common mistakes, and one prevalent even among the educated classes, is that the heart , is on the left side of the body, notes the Jewish Messenger. It will, doubtless, come as a surprise to most people to learn that this is all a mistake ; but it is, nevertheless, an indisputable fact that it is the smaller section of the ' heart that is to the left side, as a ; careful study of the human anatomy will verify. The popular error regarding the'position of the most important organ of the body doubtless owes its orgin to the fact that the auricle through which the blood is forced from the heart into the veins is on the left side, and when any twitch is felt it is at that part. D&T They say: That a good size for a man is exercise ; that dogs can't talk, but they carry tails; that the man who has his price is never a bargain ; that a willing prisoner is a man locked in slumber ; that when a girl is married she is no longer missed ; that a i ship is like a book when it is outward bound ; that the baseball player is the power behind the thrown ; that compliments cost nothing, but many pay dear for them ; that the shorter a man is, the louger he is iu getting his coat out of pawn. * An artificial larynx has been in vented by Prof. Stuart, of the Univer* sity of Sydney, and tried with success on a man who had lost his voice.

Here they are: Can you afford to go on from day to day, week to week and year to year without . throwing around your wife, children or r those dependent upon yofi, that iron clad ' protection which is absolutely guaran1 teed to them by a policy in a first-class life insurance company ? If you decide that you cannot ignore life insurance, are ' you using the same business sense that i characterizes your daily business transaci tions if you place your insurance with a . company that charges you twice as much for your protection as it is worth, or as another company equally as reliable will furnish it for? The Mutual Reserve s Fund Like Association, of New York, , has been in business about 15 years and during that time has paid more than ' 522,000,000 to the beneficiaries of de ceased policy holders. It has in force today as much insurance as the THREE , STONGESTold line companies had when they had reached the same age, and something like $50,000,000 to spare. I It has more assets, as compared to liabilities than any company in 1 the world. 1 It has paid every honest death claim . that has been presented, in full, and has . never taken advantage of a technicality, as other companies often do. Now for a practical illustration: Say you are 43 ,r years of age: A $5,000 life policy (pay as long as you live) in the Insurance , Company, of New York, will cost you I $180.50 annually or $3,610 in twenty years, ' if you live that long, in cold cash, not counting interest. The same size policy in the MUTUAL RESERVE, will cost you $86.10 annually, or $1,722 in twenty ' years. We will be pleased to explain our 1 system to you and also to convince you 1 that any derogatory statement made by any agent of any old line company doing ' business in this section about the Mutual ' Reserve, is absolutely false and is inspired ; by bis desire to self you something you will never derive any benefit from. It will certainly do you no harm to learn all 1 you can about our company and its plan before placing your insurance. SAM M. & L. GEO. GRIST, , General Agents. !
