If CANNOT LAST FOREVER.
I've a word of comfort for you
Who on life's rugged road
Are toiling 'neath the burden
Of a heavy, hopeless load;
It will make your heart grow lighter,
Whatever be your wrong,
Aud give you strength to bear it,
If you take these words along.
And say when clouds of darkness
Around your pathway hover,
"The sun is shining just beyond,
, It cannot last forever."
Just try then when you're wearied
By each petty care and strife,
By each little aggravation
Of yonr common daily life;
When angry words are rising,
That you can scarcely smother,
And everything seems "twisted up,",
And tied in knots to bother,
You'll find these words are like a knife,
Each twisted knot to sever;
Then straighten out each tangle with
?Tt. winnftt lust forever."
Or if some great disaster
Like a cyclone sweep your sky.
And stunned and helpless with the shock
Beneath the wreck you-Jie,
Remember that no storm comes
But has a clearing day;
The darkest night a morning,
An end the longest way;
Then take these words to cheer you,
You'll find them like a lever
To raise your sinking spirits up,
"It cannot last forever."

There were three or four unoccupied
seats in the car, bathe stood for a moment,
grip in hand, near the door, and then
walked to a seat in which a young lady
sat alone, and sat down beside her with
an impudence that astonished all other
passengers. The girl looked up at him and
around the car, and evidently realized
the situation, for she took pencil and tablet
from reticule and made ready for him.
After about five minutes the man turned i
toner and observed:
"Beg pardon if I am mistaken, but don't
von live at Utica?"
She looked up in a furtive way, and then
wrote on the tablet and handed him:
"I am deaf and dumb."
"Ah! By George!" he sighed as he
read it; "that's too, too bad! Deuced
pretty girl to have such a misfortune. |
Well, I'm left, after all ray smartness.
Saw her at the window before I got on,
and carried out the plan to'a dot. Deaf
and dumb, eh ? First one I ever struck!"
He nodded his head to her to signify
that he understood, and he would have
been glad to change seats if he could have
done so without loss of dignity. As the
train thundered on he perused the contents
of a couple of newspapers, yawned awhile
and then bought and finished a novel; and
finally, after a ride of four mortal hours,
the whistle blew, and he reached for his
grip with the remark :
/'I'll be hanged if I ain't glad this stupid
ride has come to an end at last."
"Ditto!" quietly replied the girl, as she
turned on him.
"You?you!" he gasped as he stood there
looking down upon her with twelve kinds
of emotion galloping over his countenace.
"Good-bye" she said; and he backed out
and dropped to the platform like a man
retreating from a mule's hind legs.?[New

How. He Succeeded.?The dark ways
of politicians are not always past finding
out. An Indian agent, whose official character
was not above reproach, determined
to present his case favorably to the administration
by sending a delegation of Indians
to Washington to declare his praises.
He dressed the aborigines in an extraordinary
costume of war-paint and feathers,
to their own great astonishment, and filling
them fUIl of bad whisky and praise of
himself, sent them on their way. At

took place between them and one of the
national officials:
"Is Captain Jones?the agent?a good
man ?"
"Good man!" (sententiously). '
"Does he steal the Indians' bacon and
' flour?"
"Sometime."
"Does he get drunk ?"
"Mos' evly day."
"He is a good man, you say ?"
"Good man!"
"Why?"
"He good man; he gif us plenty dollah
to say dat. He make us cold, he make us
hungry; he steal, he get drunk, but he say
he goodest kind ob man. He tell us say
so! Captifin Chones good man ! Ugh!"
A gentleman traveling in Texas, met
on the road a wagon drawn by four oxen
driven by a countryman, who, in addition
to the skillful crack of the whip, was vociferously
encouraging his horned horses
in this fashion: "Haw Presbyterian,"
"Gee Baptist,'" "Wboa Episcopalian,"
"Get up Methodist." The traveler stopped
the dfriver, remarking to him that he
had strange names for his oxen, and he
would like to know why he thus called
them. Said the driver: I call this ox
Presbyterian, because he's a true blue and
never fails, pulls through difficulties and
holds to the end. I call this ox Baptist,
because he is always after water and it
seems as though he'd never drink enough,
then again he won't eat with the rest. I
call this ox Episcopalian, because he has a
mighty way of holding up his head, and

call this ox Methodist, because he puffs
and blows as he goes along, and you'd
think he was pulling all creation, but he
don't pull a pound unless you continually
stir him up.?[Ex.

The Blmp of Goodness.?It is not every

both rich and appreciative, who not only
can pay handsomely for work done, but estimates
it at its true artistic value. Such
patrons are worth waiting for.
A mourning husband came to see the
bust of his dear deceased wife.
"Pray study it well," said the sculptor.
"It is only in clay, and I can alter it."
The widower looked at it with the most
tender interest. "It is her very self!" he
exclaimed; "her large -nose?the sign of
goodness!" Then bursting into tears, he
exclaimed: "She was so good ! Make the
nose a little larger !"

it," said the lawyer. "My milkman
brings me a can of milk, and says : "Sir,
I know that is pure milk, for I drew it
from the cow, washed the can thoroughly,
strained it into the can, and nobody else
has handled it.' Now, when I take the
cover from the can, out leaps a bullfrog.
Surely, the frog is stronger evidence than

VST The car was crowded. A lady entered,
and a male occupant, who had evidently
been imbibing the ardent pretty freely,
arose to give her his seat. Another specimen
of the genus homo slipped into the
vacant place. Indignant at the trick, the
polite son of Bacchus turned to the interloper
and scornfully remarked, "I am pretty
full, I know, but I shall get over it in
the morning. You are a hog, and will
never get over it!" The shot went to the
mark, and the victim sneaked out and off
the car.

of Concord, N. H., recently opened a bank
account in that city, depositing $300. He
was given a liberal quantity of checks,
which he used so ignorantly that he was
soon brought up and told that he had overdrawn.
When asked to settle, with great
indignation he made this reply : "Didn't
you give me all these checks, which are
not half used? If I owe you anything, I
will draw a check and pay you."
tt^An airy young man pranced into a

$hc J'wMi and
CARE OF YOUNG TURKEYS.
Turkeys, to be valuable on the farm, require
much care and attention when young
and should be kept separate from other
kinds of fowls. Young turkeys should be
fed at least five times a day until they pre
several weeks old. They are not voracious
feeders; therefore they need to be fed
often. Turkey hens, as a rule, commence
laying about the 15th of March, and the
number of eggs vary according to age and
breed. Those of the common strain are
greater egg-producers, hardier than -the
fancy breeds, and mature earlier, although
they do not attain to as great weight.
Turkeys should never be set so early as to
bring out the cHicks before the weather becomes
warm and settled.* When tne little
chicks come out it is well to remove the
shells from the nest, for an unhatched egg
will frequently get into a deserted shellln
such a manner that the chick will die.
The young chicks are apt to wander from
the nest, and should be kept in until they
peep from the hen and sit around her.
A very good coop may be made of laths,
four and a half or five feet long, nailed to
two-by-two-inch scantling, two feet long.
Two or three inches apart is wide enough
for the interstices. One end should be
cioseiy Doarueu in me uireenun ui siuima.
If the ground is level,'one end should be
made lower to turn water in rainy weather.
The coop should be moved every few days.
The best feed for young, turkeys and
ducks is yolks of h^rd boiled eggs, and after
they are several days old the white
may be added. Continue this for two or
three weeks, occasionally chopping onions
fine, and sometimes sprinkling the boiled
egga with black pepper; then give rice, a
teacupful, with milk enough to just cover
it, and boil slowly until the milk is evaporated.
Put in enough more to cover the
rice again, so that when boiled down the
second time it will be soft if pressed between
the fingers. Milk must not be used
too freely, as It will get too soft and*the
grains will adhere together. Stir frequently
when boiling. Do not use water with
the rice, as it forms a paste and the chicks
cannotswallow it. In cold, damp weather,
a half-teaspoonful of cayenne pepper in a
pint of flour, worked with lard enough to
make it stick together, will protect them
from diarrhea. This amount of food is
sufficient for two meals for seventy-five
chicks. Give all food in shallow tin pans.
Boiled milk and water, with a little lime
water in each occasionally, is the best
drink until the chicks are two or three
months old, when loppered and buttermilk
may take the place of the boiled milk.
Turkeys like best to roost on trees, and in
their absence artificial roosts may be made
by planting long forked locust poles and
laying others across the forks. They take
t/* thin kind nf a roost readilv. as thev re
quire plenty of room.
The most critical period comes when the
chicks are several w.^eks old, and the tufts
of feathers which support the wings are
growing. Two quarts of corn meal, one
tablespoonful each of black pepper and
soda, two of allspice and salt, baked not
too brown, and milk, loppered, scalded
hard and drained not less than ten or
twelve hours, should be given after the
discontinuance of eggs and rice. Four
quarts of scalded bran and one and onehalf
pints of nice fresh wood ashes, mixed,
make a good preventive of cholera. This
should be given early in the morning when
their crops are empty. Dry ashes should
be given them to dust themselves in when
one week old until they are ready for the
market. Corn should hot be given before
September. Oats soaked in water for several
minutes and drained for eight or ten
hours are the best feed at night, after they
become carunculated and get red heads.
A gallon of thick slaked lime and a pint of
sharp sand, dried and crumbled, is greatly
relished by turkeys. A droopy appearance
of the head, and dark colored evacuations,
watery and yellowish green, are indications
of cholera. Five to ten drops of
laudanum in a tablespoonful of melted
lard given two or three times within twenty-four
or thirty-six hours, is the best remedy
for this disease.
FODDER CORN AND FODDER CANE.
In a bulletin issued by tne Maryland
Agricultural Experiment station, H. PL
Alvord, director, gives the following conclusions
in regard to the growth of fodder
corn and fodder cane:
For the greatest quantity of fodder, green
or dry, corn or cane should be grown in
drills far enough apart to permit easy and
sufficient cultivation, the space between
the rows to be governed somewhat by the
size of varieties grown, and the plants to
be thin enough in the drills to give ample
air and light to assure maturity. For corn
of the larger varieties, the nearest definite
rule that can be safely given is to plant
the rows 3 to 3* feet apart and single stalks
6 to 8 inches apart in the rows.
For best quality of fodder the same
method should be followed as for greatest
quantity. The chemical composition of
fodder corn grown in different ways is
found to be very similar, and the exceptions
occurring do not justify any modification
of the advice just given for getting
best quality. The nutritive ratio and percentage
of dry substance digestible are
slightly in favor of the thicker seeding,
but not enough so to compensate for loss in
quantity of crop. Thick seeding appears
to cause a decrease in the relative amount
of nitrogen in the albuminoid form. This
diminishes the value of the fodder, as the
amide nitrogen is considered to have less
nutritive value.
To get the most food value on an acre of
corn or cane it should not be cut till the
plants begin to show signs of drying and
withering and the seeds begin to glaze.
The product of an acre of sowed corn, as
ordinarily grown, has usually a food value
little more than half as great as the product
of the same acre in drills, as above
artvicarl Tho lnhnr pvnpndpd.in t.hfl mil*
tivation required by tfie drill system is
profitably applied, as shown by the saving
of seed and tne increased crop.
A crop of fodder corn, grown in drills
and well cultivated, serves to clean and
improve the land. Sowed corn [broadcast]
or thickly drilled fodder allows weeds and
grass to grow and perfect their seeds, and
'.'fouls" the land. To grow a large crop of
fodder corn or fodder cane, rich land is
needed; but heavy mauuring, good seed
and good cultivation are profitable in securing
a good crop; twenty to thirty tons
freen weight is not an uncommon yield,
eing an equivalent in food value of five
to eight tons of good hay per acre.
The variety of sorghum known as early
amber cane, grown under conditions identical
with Indian corn, as a forage plant,
and in an unfavorable season, produced
from one to four tons per acre of green
fodder more than corn, at this station. As
to quality for forage, the cane compared
favorably with corn.
Treatment of Acute Rheumatism.?
For external applications in acute articular
rheumatism, there are none more efficacious
than mustard poultices. The use
of these should be commenced at once, as
soon as the joints become painful. If only
a small number are affected, poultices can
be applied to each simultaneously, or in
succession until all are treated. When
new joints become involved, renewed applications
are demanded; in fact, the disease
should be "chased" from one affected
portion to another. The poultices may be
applied twice daily, and after their use the
inflamed joints should be wrapped in dry
cotton wool, and then bandaged neatly
and lightly with flannel. Some authors
claim that these coverings are useless, but
all who have suffered from the disease can
testify that exposure of the joints, even to
to the warm air of the sick room, aggravates
the pain.
A more expensive application, and to
some more agreeable than the mustard, is
the following: Oil of cajeput and spirits of
camphor, of each one ounce; spirits of ammonia,
six drachms ; alcohol and chloroform
of each one ounce, To use this first
fasten neatly over the inflamed joint flannel
of sufficient size to cover the 'same;
after saturating this with the mixture,
which must be well shaken, quickly cover
with another piece of flannel or oil silk.
It should create an agreeable degree of
heat, but if it burns severely, the outer
covering must be at once removed to permit
evaporation, which can be allowed for
a moment and then again confined. The
effect of the application will indicate how
often to renew it.?[Boston Journal of
Health.
Iced Tea.?If^ou wish to have it per:
feet, and without the least trace of bitter,
put the tea in cold water hours before it is
to be used ; the delicate flavor of the tea
and abundant strength will be extracted,
and there will not be a trace?if one's taste
is the judge?of the tannic acid which renders
tea so often disagreeable and undrinkable.
You need not use more than the
usual quantity of tea. If it is to l?e served
at a one o'clock meal, put it in water soon
after breakfast, and ice a few minutes before
serving.

REMINISCENCES OF WESTERN YORK.
By a mistake of the compositor, or illegi
ible chirography on my part, 1 am made
to say thatMf. Robin Manning was drowned
in 18G5 or 'GO, instead of 1855 or '50. The
last mentioned date is the one I intended,
and I hope ray readers will note this correction.
I would be glad for any reader
of these reminiscences to call my attention
to any material point or points in which
I am mistaken, either in the dates or
otherwise, and at the same time give such
information, as will give my readers a
more correct and intelligent idea of what I
wish to impress upon. them. The object
of these reminiscences is to carry the reader
back to the days and times to which the
sketches refer, to the accomplishment of
which my efforts will be hereafter as heretofore
directed. I have attempted to give
these matters in detail as my recollection
furnishes them, and I hope an indulgent
public will excuse any disconnected statements
that may be made.
The late J. M. Srnarr, of Hopewell, deserves
a place in these writings and this I
intend hereafter to give. Intellectually
any physically, Western York never pro- j
duced a better specimen of manhood tnan
Matt. Smarr. Although he never prosecuted
his collegiate course to graduation,
yet Western York had but few such scholars
within its borders as he was. He was
always stocked with answers for any question
that might ho propounded. His
ready wit was one boundless store of humor.
He was always true to his friends
and decided with his enemies. He was
ready to forgive and forget the faults of
the weak, and lend a helping hand to aid
them in their troubles. His demeanor was
such as to elicit the universal esteem of
his fellowmen. Just at close of the war,
while" the State was yet under military
rule, he unfortunately became involved in
a trouble that to him was a serious matter.
In defending the property of an old and
invalid|aunthe, with A.Sylvanus Wallace,
killed two ex-slaves, Henry Wright and
...... Thomson, who were stealing the property
of this poor old defenceless woman.
Though the act was perhaps rash, yet we
must remember that it was committed at
a time and under circumstances different
from any it has been the lot 01 tne present
generation to experience. In this trying
moment he found a friend and able, legal
counsel in the person of ex-Judge Samuel
W. Melton, of Columbia, who with that
skill, energy and learning that has placed
him among the brighest luminaries of his
profession, took his case through the labyrinthian
mazes of a military court and
finally won it, though at a frightful cost of
treasure to his client. No event in the
life of Judge Melton has done more to elevate
him to the exalted position he occupies
to-day than that to which I have
just called the reader's attention. Think
of a man who stood high in the councils
of the Confederate States, whose suggestions
were almost the law of the land,
after our armies were disbanded or surrendered,
donning the role of his profession?the
law, and going before a military
tribunal, the members of which had, perhaps,
not yet recovered from the animosities
engendered by four years of bloody
warfare, as well as the expenditure of
millions upon millions of dollars, and
there pleading the cause of his unfortunate
countryman, and you have Saraael
W. Melton as he appears in this connection.
Every inch of ground he stubbornly
defended, and his eloquent appeals for
mercy for his fellow man at the hands of
the military tribunal was the crowning
point in the case. When the epoch of reconstruction
passes under the reyiew of the
historian, this incident will take its place
in the record.
The abnormal condition of the body politic.
a few years afterwards, brought about
an unfortunate state of affairs in which
Mr. Smarr found himself again confronted
by Federal laws. This he outlived and
mirvia out luiHinnf fhn ampll r>f f-rprmnn nnnn
his garments. He honorably adjusted
himself to the situation, and until the
day of his death no imputation could
be cast upon his loyalty. In friendship
he was true; in enmity he was honest.
In athlete manhood he had but few
equals and no superiors. He could stand
on one bank of IBroad river, almost anywhere,
and throw a stone across it. Full
of wit, sarcasm and repartee, he enjoyed
the confidence as well as the friendship of
his countrymen. His first marriage was
to Miss Martha Leech, daughter of Mr.
Joseph Leech, whose name has been mentioned
in these reminiscences. His second
marriage was to Miss Martha E. Moss, who
is at present the efficient postmistress of
Hopewell. For a long time Mr. Smarr
was postmaster and trial justice at Hopewell,
and all his official acts, so far as I
know, give evidence of his more than ordinary
intellectual attainments. j. l. s.
INVENTOR OF THE COWCATCHER.
If you shouldevergo to Columbus, Ohio,
' said a railroad man, and should happen to
drop into the model littered little office of
the Novelty Iron works there, you will see
a sharp eyed old gentleman who will more
than likely be poring over some works
on mechanics, or sketching the design for
a pattern for some piece of ornamental
iron work. The old gentleman is L. B.
Laviefc, a native of Kennebec county, Me.,
who was the first locomotive engineer in
actual service on the first railway built in
Ohio, and the inventor of the attachment
to the locomotive familiarly known as
the cowcatcher, which is in use on every
passenger and freight engine in the world
to-day, but for which, invaluable as it is
to railroad companies, he never received
one penny.
When Davies was 19 years old he was
t.hp pntrineer on Commodore Vanderbilt's
famous old steamboat the Cleopatra. He
ran there one season and then drifted out
west. The little Miami railroad was then
building between Xenia and Springfield,
in Ohio. He went to work on the road as
engineer of a construction train, and when
the road was completed, three years afterward,
he ran the first passenger train.
Some years later he entered the service of
the Columbus and Xenia railroad. It was
while he was running a locomotive on that
road that he conceived the idea of a cowcatcher.
The locomotives of that day had
no cabs, and a row of iron spikes, four feet
long and driven into the bumper of the
engine a /oot apart and a foot above the
track, was the locomotive builder's idea
of the proper thing for a pilot or cowcatcher.
And it was a cowcatcher, and no
mistake. There was no headlights on the
locomotives in those days, and as the railroads
were not fenced in, and as cattle and
live stock had free run of the country,
scarcely a night passed but some cow or
horse or hog was impaled on these spikes,
much to the peril of the train and its passengers.
The dangerous character of this rude
and cruel pilot was a source of constant
thought to Havies, and he studied daily
how he might improve that attachment,
and not only remove it as a menace to life
aud property, but make it a safety feature
of the locomotive. One day, while he was
running his engine, and thinking on the
subject of improving the pilot, he noticed
a farmer plowing in a field near the railroad,
and the manner in which the mold
board of the plow threw the earth to a
furrow on one side at once gave him the
idea that developed the plan of the modern
locomotive cow-catcher. The action
of the mold board on the soil was just the
action that was necessary to make a pilot a
useful attachment instead of a dangerous
one, but it was one sided. It did not take
Davies long, however to see that by putting
together a device that waB virtually
a plow with two mold boards he would
aommnlish the rlesired result. He con
structed such a device and attached it to
the locomotive "Patterson," of the Columbus
and Xenia railroad, and the very first
trip made with it its success was manifested.
On the trip he ran into a drove of
cattle that were crossing1 the track. The
new pilot cut its way through them as if
it were a plow turning the soil, and threw
them right and left, clearing the track
without any perceptible effect on the engine.
All the locomotives on the road
were at once .fitted with the cowcatcher,
and it was not long before the idea
spread to other roads, and from that time
no locomotive has ever been built for passenger
or freight service without Davies'
cowcatcher. Davies did not patent his
device, and although it has saved the railroads
of this and other countries millions of
dollars and hundreds of lives, he never received
a penny's benefit from it.?[New

Five Poisons in the Cigarette.?'Tobe
healthy, the cigarette must be thrown
away, says Prof. Laflin. It is very injurious,
and sure death to the person who
smokes it habitually. Why? Tobacco in
any form is bad; but in a cigarette there are
five poisons, while in a good cigar there is
only one. In a cigarette there is the oil in
the paper, the oil of nicotine, s^ltpetrp to
preserve the tobacco, opium to make it i
mild, and the oil in the flavoring* The |
trouble with the cigarette is the inhaling i
of the smoke. If you blow a mouth full
of smoke through a handkerchief it will
leave a brown stain. Inhale the smoke,
and blow it through the nostril, and no
stain will appear. The oil and poisons remain
in the head or body. Cigarettes create
a thirst for strong drink ; and there
should be anti-cigarette societies, as there
are temperance societies. Teachers ought
to watch and see that their pupils do not
smoke. In 187!) there were !?00,000 cigarettes
manufactured. Last year there were
1,200,000,000.
lNTEN'sivE~UARI)ENIN(J.
Man naturally wants the earth, or at i
least that particular part of it which adjoins
his particular estate, but he makes a
great mistake when he engages in farming
on an extensive scale.
Prince Krapotkino, who lias in ado a careful
study of the subject in Prance, gives a
number of instances in the country districts
around Paris, where comparatively
ignorant farmers have made small market
gardens enormously productive. One
farm is mentioned by him of two and seven-tenths
acres which produced annually
r\w\r\ Uniwlt?n/1 un/1 fwnntv.fltm fnna nf mat*.
I UUU UUIIUiUU UIIM hTVVIBVJ-UTV VVKO VI UlUi |
ket vegetables of all kinds. The owner of
this farm, by building a wall to protect his !
lands from cold winds, by whitening the
walls to Hecuro all the possible radiated
heat, and by the constant and judicious use
of fertilizers, has his little farm in a productive
condition from the last of January
to the last of December. By simple
and inexpensive means he has practically
located his farm in the tropics.
A French gardener does not care what
kind of soil he starts with. He would he
satisfied with an asphalt pavement, because
he makes his soil, and so much of it
that he has to sell it to keep his place from
being gradually raised above the level of
the surrounding country.
When a farmer once understands the
lawsof ohemistry he has no difficulty in
making soil that contains all the materials
needed for plant life.
Price Krapotkine speaks of one gardener
who has covered half an acre with a
glass roof, and run steam pipes, supplied
by a small boiler under I he ground sheltered
by this covering. The result has been
that he he has cut every day for ten months
from 1,000 to 1,200 large bunches of asparagus,
a product which under ordinary conditions
would require sixty acres of land.
But this result has been surpassed by an
English farmer, who has a one acre mushroom
farm which yields him an annual income
of $f),000.
Under the French method of culture it
would be possible to make one square mile
support one thousand human beings. On
such a scale of productive capacity this
country would support a population of 3,
000,000,000. Even when we kdock on a
fair per centage for mistakes, exaggerations
and unfavorable conditions, it will
be seen that we are in no danger of having
an over-population for many centuries to
come.?[Picayune.
No Removals Except for Cause.?
A Washington dispatch says: Presidential
postmasters will be allowed to serve
out their four-year terms from the date of
confirmation by the Senate. Postmaster
General Wanamaker makes this plain by
stating that "the President is not making
removals except for cause." He added
that tu displace a postmaster before his
term expired would be a removal. This
is the first authoritative declaration that
has been made on this subject. It means
that there will be no more postmasters
appointed at Presidential offices until
January, except to fill vacancies caused by
death or resignation or removal for a flagrant
cause.
The postmaster general says that he
will promptly make a removal where a
postmaster is shown to be inefficient, but
he will not remove a man merely to make
a place for a Republican. This is the position
of the president, and he has sent
back to the department to go on file the
papers in several cases where he has been
asked to remove postmasters whose commissions
do not expire until next spring.
If the position of the president and postmaster
general can be made plain to officeseekers,
it ought to diminish somewhat
the pressure which still keeps them from
giving needed attention to other matters.
The Democrats who were appointed to
presidential post offices during the summer
of 1885 were not confirmed by the senate
until January or later, some not until
July, so that their four-years' terms run
well into 1890, and under the rule established
by the president their successors
will not be nominated until near the expiration
of their terms.
xfusir and Industry.?The cheerinir
effect of brisk music is well known in the
military service, where the fife and drum,
playing lively airs, have often kept men
on the march after they had grown too
much exausted to go on without it. Acting
upon the same idea, a largo employer
of labor in one of our great cities has
lately engaged a band of musicians to play
almost constantly in his establishment,
and keeps them performing nothing but
lively music.
A boss carpenter in Maine had one question
which he always asked of journeymen
who applied to be taken into his employ.
If the applicant was found to possess all
the other necessary qualifications, the
"boss" would ask him j
"What are your favorito tubes ?"
"Why what do you want to know for?"
"You whistle and sing some at your
work, don't you?"
"Oh yes."
"Well, what tunes do you generally
whistle or sing?"
"Oh, ther's 'Old Hundred' and 'Auld
Lang Syne' and 'Down by the Weeping
Willow' and"
"That's enough?" the boss would exclaim.
"You won't do for me. Too slow,
them tunes be. Good day!"
On the contrary, if- the applicant answered,
"Oh, I generally whistle 'Yankee
Doodle,' or 'Money Musk,' or 'The
Fisher's Hornpipe,' or something of that
sort," the carpenter would say at once :
"I think you'll do! Take off your coat
if you want to, and go to worK."
A Bone Missing.?A gentleman some
years ago buried his father in a temporary
grave while the tomb in course of construction
for his remains was being finished.
When completed the removal from one
spot to the other took place, but on the
temporary grave beingopened it was found
filled with water and the coffin was decayed.
This being the state of things the
undertaker hastily packed up the bones,
placed them in an urn and reinterred
them. The same night the son dreatned
that he saw his father in great displeasure,
and, awakening from his dream, he
fell asleep again to have it repeated. This
happened for several successive nights
until at length he mentioned the circumstances
to his friends, for though no believer
in dreams, his mind was troubled.
One of his acquaintances suggested that
perhaps his father's spirit objected to being
removed; another hinted that more likely
all the bones had not been collected, and
this last hint led to a search and to the
finding of a bone which had escaped notice.
It was at once interred with the rest in the
urn and since that night the son's slumbers
have been undisturbed, the ghost,
his grievance settled, appearing no more.

Franklin's Famous Toast.?Ben
Franklin was dining with a small party of
distinguished gentlemen, when one of
them said: "Here aro three nationalities
represented ; 1 am French, and my friend
there is English, and Mr. Franklin is an
American. Let us each propose a toast.
It was agreed to, and the Englishman's
turn came first. He arose, and in the tone
of a Briton bold, said :
"Here goes to (freat Britain, thesun that
gives light to all nations of the earth."
The French mau was rather taken back
at this, but he proposed j
"Here's to Franoe, the moon, whose
magnetic rays move the tides of the
! world."
Our Ben then arose with his air of quaint
modesty and said :
"Here's to George Washington, the
Joshua of America, who commanded the
sun and moon to stand still?and they stood
still."
ftaT' An old miner who was hanged by i
robbers in Idaho till he lost consciousness
and was nearly dead, says it is a painless
operation. When the rope is first drawn
about the neck it hurts the skin, but as
soon as the pressure on the brain begins
the victim goes to sleep and knows no
more. This is in accordance with the conclusions
drawn from observation in the
great abattoirs where beef cattle are
slaughtered. The animal is drawn up by
a pulley, head downward. A great congestion
of blood to the head follows immediately.
The animal becomes apparently
dazed and unconscious, and in this stato
1 its throat is cut without a struggle.
