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.

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.

angry citizen to the superintendent of the
horae-car company, "to get justice. Yesterday,
as my wife was getting on to one of
your horse-cars, the conductor stepped on

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. Keroicnp

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? I
road law that can be devised, but would vote j

enforced," but no law is good enough which,
owing to its collusion with human nature,
never can be enforced. Give us something
that will yield practical results.?Exchange.

Young Man, This is for You!?1. 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.

come from hard work and early selfdenial;
and hard earned success is all the
sweeter at the time when old years climb up

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

of the stomach by washing out that organ.

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. So is i
i>?. nurrloc mi mifrtnrivini? snirit in his
iic ?tav v., -?--O o -4 I
bosom. It stings his own soul like an adder
shut up there. I
I know of some who call themselves 1
Christians, who are miserable because of
their own revengefulness. Forgive your
enemies and get down on your knees and
pray for them, and salvation will come into j1
your soul like a tlood. "Father, forgive |
them." Sweet prayer and blessed example, j<
?Rev. R. V. Lawrence. i1
tlciIn view of the almost universal misunderstanding
of the meaning of the words | j
"fair" and "clear" as used by the weather j
bureau, we publish the following from The
Harrisonburg Register : "The interpretation
of the word 'fair' by the officials of the
weather bureau will in a measure explain
what usually passes for inacuracy, or rather
unreliability, of the weather forecasts published
by the signal service. 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. Tenny- ?
3on believes that his having celebrated his ~
Bighty-firet birthday is due to his not having i
worried and. fretted over the small affairs of ^
life. Von Moltke thinks his ripe old age is i

life and plenty oi' exercise in the open air.
De Lesseps thinks he owes his advanced
years to like cauties. Taking all these life
giving agencies together, and considering
how easy they are of entertainment, there
ioesn't seem to be any good and sufficient
reason why we should die young, except it
De that the gods love us.?Boston Herald.

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

BUCKEYE. |
IT is with pleasure that I announce to the farmers
of York county that 1 will handle the
celebrated BUCKEYE HARVESTING MACHINERY
again this season. 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.

and enthusiastically endorsed by every farme
who has ever used it, and they ure numbered b;
thousands. Practical farmers everywhere agre
that it is, WITHOUT EXCEPTION, the mo*

crops, saves time aud saves labor.

*! The Harrow With Seeder Attachment.
Every Corbin Harrow, whatever the size, isar- *~
s ranged so that a Seeder can be attached to it.
y | The Seed Box and its machinery are of the most
>r simple and compact character. All its metal
y ' parts are of malleable or retined wrought iron,
e Its weight is (of the size to tit the No. 7,1'2-disk
it1 Harrow) about eighty pounds,
fl ! The Seeder Attachment is removable at please
I ure. It locks itself tinnly to the Harrow name
| by simply putting it into position. Neither bar,
il liolt, wedge, key, screw or pin, is used to fiuteu
il: it. Therefore, no hammer, wrench or other tool
y | is required to attach or detach it. Half a minute
s | of time will remove and one minute replace it. r
r The Harrow and Seeder combined cost about
[*- half as much as a Drill, and is a better tool. It
d ! will sow grain as evenly as any drill, cover it betif
j ter, and place it at any depth in the ground. It
is two complete implements in one. It prepares
> the ticld in the best possible manner for seeding
and then sows the crop. It sows RED RUST

r. i disks, 1(3 inches in diameter, and 6-foot cut, and
s ' the other size has 10 KMhch disks and 5-foot cut.
