Owing to a confusion of names of stations, I got off at the wrong one in Tennessee, and as there was no public house in the hamlet, the station agent said I could go home with him. His home was a humble one, as seen in the darkness, and as we reached the gate he halted and said: "Stranger, perhaps I ought to tell you ?" "What ?" I asked, as he hesitated. "Well, never mind, come along in." He took me into the front room, which did not seem to be much used by the family. A a wa antflKA^ Oiata r>cmo a lnuri veil fmm an adjoining room, and he explained : "It's only my wife boxing the oldest gal's j ears for sassing her. Let me take your hat." . He had scarcely taken it when a boy was heard whooping, and he explained: "It's only my wife pulling young Tim's hair for not bringing in the night wood." The whoop was followed by a yelp and a howl, and my host calmly explained: "One o' the dog's got in the way, you see, and she lifted him." I was trying to make his position a little less embarrassing, when there were two yells in quick suocession, followed by a scramble, and he crossed his legs and remarked : "The twins was probably hooking vittles off the table and got caught at it." Haifa minute later, just as I had got ready to ask about the crops in that locality, the door was banged open and a woman, who had a fork in one hand and a baby on her shoulder, bounced in and shouted out: "You onery, lazy Jim Murdock, if you don't help take keer of those brats I'll ?!" She saw me and stopped and retreated, and when she had gone the husband explained : "That's what I was going to tell ye at the gate?that, ye'd have to take chances on her being in a tantrum. She's got one, and if you don't mind being called squint-eyed, bald headed, gander-shanked and hump-backed, and if you can kick the dogs off when she sets 'em on, and put up with the children climbing over you, I'll try and make it pleasant otherwise." A Shrewd Artist.?I called on a certain portrait painter in Indianapolis last week. We had gone to school together. Since then he has acquired a national reputation as an artist. I complimented him on his life-like work. "Yes," he replied, "I suppose it is creditable now, but it was not always so. * 1 a. a?i J.U T ?A x rememikjr tue unv juu x cyci uau. a wealthy lady came to me and wanted a full length portrait painted. I did the best I could, but that was nothing to brag on. When the lady came to look at her picture she gave a cry of disappointment. " 'Why, that'8 not all like me,' she said, 'I shall not take it!' " "I assured her it was a perfect likeness, and declared that even her little poodle would recognize it. 'I am willing to take that risk,' she said. 'I'll take the picture.' Later in the day she brought in the canine, and the sagacious little animal, after surveying the portrait for a moment, ran up and licked the painted hand. My lady took the picture without any further objections." "But the likeness.must have been striking," I said, "to deceive the dog." "Not necessarily," replied the artist. "I took the precaution of rubbing a piece of bologna sausage over the hand before the dog arrived." They Knew Him.?The visitor from Hawcreek, says The Chicago Tribune, had been invited to address the Sunday-school. "I am reminded, children," he said, "of the career of a boy who was once no larger - than some of the little fellows I see here be. fore me. He played truant when he was sent to school, went fishing every Sunday, ran away from home when he was ten years old, learned to drink, smoke, chew tobacco, play eards and slip in under the canvas when the circus came around. He went into bad company, frequented livery stables and barrooms, finally became a pick-pocket, then a forger, then a horse thief, and one day, in a fit of drunken madness, he committed a cowardly murder. Children," he continued, impressively, "where do you think that boy is now ?" "He stands before us," guessed the children, with one voice. New Theory of the Exodus.?A clergyman tells the following in The New York * 1 ? o V uice ; a uegrv prenvuci uuvc cmuvianu ? new theory of the Exodus, to wit, that the Red sea was frozen over, and so afforded the Israelites a safe passage, but when Pharoah with his heavy iron chariots attempted to cross, he broke through and was drowned. A brother arose and asked an explanation of that "pint." Says he: "I'se been studying g'ography, and de g'ography say dat am de place where de tropics am, and de tropics am too hot for freezin'?the pint to be 'splained is 'bout breaking thro' the ice." The preacher straightened himself up and saH r "Brudder, glad you axed dat question, for it gives me 'casion to 'splain it. You see, dat war a great while ago, befo' they had any geographies, and befo' there war any tropics." A man was speaking, in a country hotel, about the hospitality of people whom he had met, and told of a family in Virginia that had kept hiia and bis horse two days and would not charge a cent. "That was very kind," said a fellow who had been listening, "but I struck a man in Alabama some time ago that was strikingly hospitable. I stopped at his house, and he came forward and said that everything I saw was mine." "Well," said some one after a few moments' silence, "what did you do?" "I simply took his word, and suffered for it." "How so?" "I took a horse during the night, and he had me arrested and sent to the penitentiary."?Arkansaw Traveller. How He Got Off.?One night Brown came home very late and found his wife evidently prepared to administer a Caudle lecture. Instead of going to bed he took a a seat, and resting his elbows on his knees, seemed absorbed in grief, sighing heavily and uttering such exclamations as "Poor Smith, poor fellow!" Mrs. Brown, moved by curiosity, said sharply, "what's the matter with Smith ?" "Ah," said Brown, his wife is giving him fits just now." # Mrs. Brown let her husbaud off that time. ?Exchange. 9^ "Remember, boys," said the teacher, who, being still new at the business, knew not what else to say to make an impression, "that in the bright lexicon of youth there's no such word as fail."

"I was merely going to suggest," replied the youngster, as he cleaned his spectacles with his handkerchief, "that if such is the case it would be advisable to write to the publishers of that lexicon and call their attention *1 Ml IUC UUII591UU. ?iuuiutoi k-'iai.

Yesterday, as my wife was getting on to one of your horse-cars, the conductor stepped on her dress and tore off a yard of it." "Well, sir," calmly replied the superintendent, "I don't know that we are to blame for that. What do you expect us to do; get her a new dress ?" "No, sir, I do not'" grimly replied the other, brandishing in his right hand a small piece of cloth, "What I propose to have you do is to help me match this cloth." | I?" A very ignorant and foppish young fellow going into a store with a relative, and seeing his relative looking into a certain book and smiling, asked him what there was in the book that made him smile.

"Is that so?" asked the I conceited Tom, with a highly elated air; I "pray let me look at it, for I wish to see for j myself the name of the author who has so i highly honored me."

Jam and gimiMe* CONCERNING WATERING HORSES. There is an untold amount of ignorance on the part of those who drive horses, concerning watering them at the proper time. A friend of mine said to one of his drivers: "John, when the care of my horses is entrusted to you, I do insist that you must use more judgment!" Reply: "When a feller don't get any more wages than I do, I han't any money to buy that durn stuff with." How much does the average driver of horses really know about the stomach and intestines of a horse? Almost nothing at all. Yet, valuable animals, worth hundreds of dollars each, are placed under the care of drivers profoundly ignorant of the ordinary requirements of a horse, touching the feed ing and watering of animals. Children and adults who need instruction should be taught that a horse has a very small stomach. Horses are not ruminants. The latter are provided with very large stomachs. Horses and mules should be allowed to drink all the water they want before they are fed. When a horse drinks, most of the water passes through the real stomach into the coecum, the commencement of the large intestine. When a horse is very thirsty he will often gulp down two or more pailsful of water, which is more than his stomach would contain. The food should not be allowed to enter the ccecura before it is digested, or properly prepared in the stomach to enter the coecum. But if water is withheld from a horse until after he has filled his stomach with grass, hay and oats, the water, in its passage through the stomach, will carry with it more or less undigested food, which will greatly irritate the delicate tissues of the interior of the coecum, causing colic and perhaps inflammation. Drivers should be taught one of the most important lessons to be learned, namely: that a horse should never be so over-driven and heated that the animal would be too warm to drink, after standing for a few minutes. There is no excuse, ordinarily, for driving any horse at such a speed as to heat him like a panting dog in the chase. More than this, a horse should be allowed to drink several times a day, and not require the suffering brute to take at one draught all the water he will get during venty-four hours. Before a horse is fed in the morning he should be allowed to drink all the water he desires. There should be a clean watertub at one corner of every stall, filled every day with pure water, to which the animals can have free access at all times. Farm horses are usually led to the wateringtrough, afler they have eaten their accustomed allowance, in preference to watering them before they are fed. This is not the better practice. When I was accustomed to drive and manage my own team, each horse was provided with a box-stall. They were nev" ' - ? - A *..U er tiea up 10 uie manger. n. iuu ui neon water was always kept in'each stall, except during cold weather, when the water would freeze in a short time. My horses were never "put through" until they were too warm to receive a few quarts of water. When a horse can have free access to water during the night and is watered two or three times a day while at work, he will never drink more than a gallon or two at a time. When ploughing or mowing with a machine in very hot weather, I learned that a few quarts of water for each horse would be as refreshing between meals to the fatigued team as a cooling draught right from the mountain spring would be to my own thirsty throat. When a horse is thirsty he needs water, pure and clean water. In all my experience in the care and management of horses I never required a horse or other animal to drink from any tub, pail or trough from which I myself would shrink from drinking.?New York Evangelist. Kerosene to Keepoff Flies.?Dr. William Home, veterinary surgeon, writes to Hoard's Dairyman, under this head, as follows : "Many poor animals suffer the most excruciating torture from the bites and irritation of flies. Some of the thin skinned ones are often all but killed outright. Many are killed in some localities, others are worried so much that they lose the flesh quite often needed for a cold, inclement winter. "I have experimented with nearly everything I could think of as a remedy for this curse to the poor dumb brutes. I have read of quite a number of sure preventives recommended by others aud found but little satisfaction. "Some eighteen years ago I experimented with kerosene as a preventive of lice upon poultry and in the poultry house. It was? it is a success. Some twelve years ago I tried kerosene to keep off flies from horses, cattle, poultry, etc. It is a success. I use a pint long nozzled oil can. I use the commonest kerosene. I squirt from this a liberal spray, as near as I can, of the fluid. I put it upon the youngest chicks, in the laying boxes of the poultry. I squirt the kerosene upon the sides of the stall liberally, upon the floor more liberally. I am not the least afraid of sprinkling kerosene upon the horses, cattle or poultry. I have never seen the slightest injury done to any of those so treated. I find it a sure preventive against maggots breeding in the barrels of hen manure, which I save for sale and use.

Way to Wash Windows.?Two servants employed in adjoining houses were talking recently about their methods of cleaning windows. The one whose windows always looked the brightest said she selected a dull day for the work, or a day when the son was not shining on them, because when the sun shines on them it causes them to be dry streaked, no matter how much one rubs. The painter's brush is the best article for this purpose ; then wash all the wood-work before the glass is touched. To cleanse the glass, simply use warm water diluted with ammonia; don't use soap. A small stick will get the dust out of the corners, then wipe dry with a piece of cloth?do not use j linen, as the lint sticks to the glass. The ! best way to polish is with tissue or newspa- j per. To clean windows in this way takes | much less time than when soap is used. I ? ? ? A Valuable Cement.?Professor Alex-j der Wiuchelis credited with the invention of I a cement that will stick to anything. Take j two ounces of clear gum arabic, one and, one-half ounces of fine starch, and one-half i ounce of white sugar. Pulverize the gum arabic, and dissolve it in as much water as the laundress would use for the quantity of starch indicated. Dissolve the starch and sugar in the gum solution. Then cook the mixture suspended in boiling water until the starch becomes clear. The cement should be as thick as tar and kept so. It can be | kept from spoiling by dropping in a lump of gum camphor, or a little oil of cloves or sassafras. This cement is very strong indeed, and will stick to glazed surfaces, and is good to repair broken rocks, minerals or fossils. Remedy for Croup.?An old nurse who j was considered wise in her day told me that j an unfailing relief for croup was to place the child's feet in hot water, apply hot flannels to the chest and give the followiug mixture until vomiting is produced : One tablespoonful of powdered alum dissolved in j half a teucupful of hot water and sweetened j well with molasses. In membranous croup ! put kettles of water on the stove, producing! all the steam possible by inserting a funnel j in the nose of the tea-kettle and removing | the cover; put the feet in hot water, giving i ipecac syrup or the above mixture, and hast-! ening vomiting by placing hot tobacco leaves! on the stomach, being careful not to leave ! them on too long.?Good Housekeeping. i The Best Tonic.?There is a good deal of i condensed wisdom in Julian Hawthorne's, latest homily on the value of the outdoor ex- j ercise, when he says that if some genius were i to invent a tonie that could be put up in a j bottle, which could freshen a man up after fatigue and depression as much as a brisk j walk of a couple of miles in the open air, he : could make a gigantic fortune in six months. And yet people go on taking tonics, elixirs, pick-me-ups and so forth, which they have j to pay for, and which do them no lasting j good ; while the elixir of the open air, which 1 they can have for nothing, und which not, only restores them, but actually lengthens j their lives?it is difficult to induce them to j take that. - P&- We favor the best?the most effective?

Save a part of your earnings, even if it be no more than a quarter dollar, ar.d put your savings monthly in a savings bank. 2. Buy nothing until you can pay for it, and buy nothing that you do nos need. A young man who has grit enough to follow these rules, will have taken the first step upward to success in business. He may be compelled to wear a coat a year longer, even if it be unfashionable; he may have to live in a smaller house than some of his young acquaintances; his wife may not sparkle in diamonds nor be resplendent in silk and satin just yet; his children may not be dressed as dolls or popinjays; his table may be plain and wholesome, and the whizz of the beer or champagne cork may never be heard in his dwelling; he may have to < get along without the earliest fruit or vegetable ; he may have to adjure the clubroom, the theater, and the gambling hell; and reverence the Sabbath-day and read and follow the precepts of the Bible instead, but he will be the better off in every way for his self-discipline. Yes, he may do all these without detriment to his manhood, or health, or character. True, empty-headed folks may sneer at him and affect to pity him, but he will find that he has grown strong-hearted and brave enough to stand the laugh of the foolish. He has become an independent man. He never owes anybody, and he is no man's slave. He has become master of himself, will become a leader among men, and prosperity will crown his every enterprise.

About Sponges.?The sponge is a simple thing, but very few people know anything about where it comes from, or how it is got into shape for the market. The sponge is simply a marine animal, and it grows in the sea, just as an oyster or a clam grows. The best sponges are caught off the Florida coast. The work of catching sponges is a regular industry. Men go out in boats with long spears and hooks. The sponge catchers wear box-like oblong glasses that fit over the face and around the front part of the head. There are magnifying arrangements in these < boxes, and the glasses are made to enable i the wearer to see through the water. When- 1 ever a sponge is descried from the surface of | the water the catcher thrusts down his spear and hooks and pulls up the flabby mass, i There is a good deal of work necessary on ; sponges before they are ready for the market, and in the process of preparation there is much adulteration. Sponge is sold in wholesale by the pound, and very often the material is weighed with sand, glycerine and other things to increase its value. A good deal of sponge is caught ofTthe coast ofCuba, but this is much the cheapest kind of sponge. Carriage and harness people, who are the chief consumers of sponge, must buy the best material, for adulterated sponge might do much mischief to the fine wood and leather work. The best sponge retails for something over $3 a pound, and the cheapest can be had as low as 75 cents a pound.?St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Washing out the Stomach.?During the past year several physicians in New York have tried, with a gratifying success, a novel treatment for dyspepsia and cancer of the stomach by washing out that organ. The process is very simple and not dangerous. A long flexible pipe is passed ] down the throat until one end is in *the ( stomach. The upper end has a funnel attached, into which hot water is poured until the stomach is filled. The weight of water in the pipe and funnel gives a hydraulic pressure sufficient to distend the stomach. The pipe has an aperture big enough to hold & lead pencil. After the stomach has been filled, the funnel end of the pipe is tamed down until it is lower than the bottom of the stomach, and the stomach is emptied as a barrel of any fluid is emptied through a siphon. The process may be repeated several times. The result is that the undigested food and mucus are washed out, and the hot water closes the blood vessels and reduces inflammation. The relief is immediate. The dyspeptic may have his stomach washed out before a meal, so that he can take a fresh start. After the lapse of a sufficient time for ordinary digestion, the stomach may be washed out again. This process has been in use at the New York Hospital, we are informed, for some time.?Scientific American. Domestic Thunderstorms.?We have heard it asserted that a quarrel now and then in a family is not a bad thing?that it Surifiefl the domestic atmosphere, rendering pleasant and salubrious for some time to come; in short, that it is to the household air what a thundergust is to the general element. Who so reasons thus is a simpleton. Eyelightnings are neither agreeable when "the sparks of fury" are being projected, nor as they flash through the recollection, and tongue-thunder reverberates through the memory for many a long day after the storm. It is an egregious mistake to suppose that sharp words spoken in anger are soon forgotten. They often cut deep, and in some : cases the wounds never entirely heal. Crimination and recrimination were never yet freely and frequently indulged in by by man and wife without begetting enmity between them, or to say the least, without destroying their esteem for each other. Marriage does not change human nature, and it is not human nature to love anybody one is continually quarreling with. Pettish wives and surly husbands are advised to make a note of this; also all happy pairs, j fresh from the altar, what desire to keep happy. Letting a Man Alone.?That a husband is at times silent and preoccupied does not argue that he is indifferent to his wife, writes Mrs. Phineas T. Barnum in The Ladies' Home Journal; he may be depressed, and yet not feel that marriage, for him, is a failure ; he may be captious and fretful, yet ' feel no irritation against his wife. I am not , absolving men from the obligation to be agreeable to their woman-kind, nor extenuating their frequent infractions of the code of marital amenities; I am only assuring you, for your own good, that these things are often the outward and visible sign of an inward , and spirtual discordance which you have not caused, and about which you would be ' unwise to grieve. Learn to wait, and by- j and-bv.you will find that business went wrong that day; or he sat in a draft, and all his ( bones ached with an incipient cold; or he had eaten an indigestible meal (not at home of course) and was depressed, he knew not why. Wait! wait! and when you have J found out what the matter was, you will be , thankful you did not weary him with foolish questions. Learn to Forgive.?Learn how to for- i give. Do not carry an unforgiving spirit with you through all your life; it will hurt you more than anything else. It will destroy the happiness of many around you, yet its chief feeding ground will be found in 1 your own heart. You hate your neighbor. 1 Yonder is his dwelling, 150 yards away. Suppose you pass by a wood fire, and as you pluck a half-consumed brnnd from it flaming and gleaming, and, thrusting it under your garment to hide it, you start for your neighbor's dwelling to burn it. Who gets the worst it? You find your ' garments on fire and your own flesh burned : before you can harm your neighbor.

In a note to The Richmond Dispatch the signal officer makes a statement that reveals the oflicial distinction between the terms 'fair' and 'clear.' He says: 'I have the honor to inform you that fair indicates simply absence of rain. The sky may be cloudy and yet f the weather may be fair according to the |j usage of this office. Clear is rarely used, and would indicate the presence of a few or ao clouds." * The Foli.y of Dying Young.?Bismarck is out in a statement setting forth that he owes his rugged old age to the practice of bathing regularly and freely in cold water. Gladstone ascribes hi 3 longevity to the sim- <, plicity and regularity of his habits.

I 98T The life of a submarine telegraph cable is from 10 to 12 years. If a cable breaks n deep water after i t is 10 years old it canaot be lifted for repairs, as it will break off jf its own weight. On this account cable companies are prepared to put aside a large reserve ftxnd in order that they may be prepared to replace their cables every 10 years. The action of the sea is the great enemy of ;he submarine cable; it eats the iron away jo completety as to turn the outside coating jo dust or sediment, while the core is still ntact. The breakage of an ocean cable is a veiy costly accident, oaving to the difficulties to be encountered in repairing it. It jften becomes necessary in case of a break to charter a ship at $500 per day for several lays in succession trying to tlx upon the location where the cable has parted. One jreakage in the Direct Cable company's line F a few years ago cost that syndicate $125,000. b He Thought Bo.?A middle aged woman j! called at a Grand River A venue drug store the other evening and asked for morphine, and the clerk replied to her request with : "Is it for your husband ?"

It is a pleasure | to handle the BUCKEYE Machinery because! it is the recognized leader of its class, and there-1 fore it has no weak pours, as compared with ; others, to be defended. THE BANNE R BINDER Is the King of the Harvest. It is constructed especially with a view to lightness and strength. It can bo handled with case by two medium sized horses or mules. It is a great favorite in rough, mountainous countries. Bear in mind that the Banner Binder cirs the grain and binds it at the same operation. ) THE BUCKEYE MOWER Is tho standard of the world. It is as near perfection as any man could desire. If you Want the most successful, the LIGHTEST DRAFT! and most powerful mower ever constructed, you j should buy the Buckeye. If you want a mower j which is built; u pon correct mechanical princi- j pies, a mower which has been crowned victor on thousands of IIolds, a mower which has sur-1 mounted all ditliculties, and one which is equal: to all demand sot" the general farmer, you should j buy the BUCKEYE. I am also ag;ent for the CHIEFTAIN HORSE RAKE, it ami is a good one. If you contemplate buying either a Binder, a Mower or a Bake, don't wait until you are ready to use it before you begin to make inquiries, bemuse if you do you may get left. SAM .Si.
