( Like all typical stories, it illustrates a point. The Kilinaroo story shows ' that most of our troubles are iraagina- t ry. Niue-tentbs of them never happen. , "Now," said Air. Blaine to the priuce, "nine-tenths of our troubles { never happen. They are all imaginary. When we get to them they are gone. They remind me of a man who | ??? Mm'inir cnmpthrny across Fulton %vao vanj?4J6 n ferry in a close box. Every now and theu he would'open the box curiously, 1 peep in, and then close the lid myste- ' riously. His actions soon excited the curiosity of a naturalist who sat on t the seat by him. Unable to conceal i 'his curiosity further, the naturalist touched him on the shoulder, and t said: s "I beg pardon, sir, but I am curious to know what you have in that box. , "What is it?" ( "Oh, I don't want to tell. It will get all over the boat." "Is it a savage animal ?" "Yes?kills everything." Then the man peeped in again. Still growing more curious, the nut- 1 uralist begged him to tell him its ( name. "It's a Kil-ma-roo from the centre of f Africa?a very savage beast?eats men r and?" "And what do you feed it on ?" in- t terrupted the naturalist. s ''Snakes, sir?plain snakes !" "And where do you get snakes j enough to feed such a monster?" ask- ^ ed the eager but trembling naturalist. "How can you feed a savage beast on imaginary snakes ?" j. "Well, sir, my brother in Brooklyn drinks a good deal, has delirium tremens, and when he sees snakes, we just catch 'em and?" "But these are imaginary snakes," argued the naturalist. "How can you feed a savage beast on imaginary 1 snakes?" "Why, the fact is," said the man, 1 .opening the box and blowing in it, t "don't say a word ; this is an imaginary Kil-ma-roo." , e ?. t "GLASSES TO READ WIF." f It was a warm summer day when Uncle Ephriam Jackson, a worthy col- 1 ored man, entered an optician's shop, | and removiug his tall white hat, and wipiug the perspiration from his fore- r i j Konftnna tinnrt. ? neau wnu a uig tuu vuu........ ?? v kerchief, sat down wearily on a re- v volving stool, as if he feared it was about, to run away with him, and \ asked for a pair of glasses "fer to read r wif." c "What number do you wear?" asked the optician. t Uncle Ephriam griuned. "I guess I j wears two," said he. c "Number two !" exclaimed the optician in astonishment.' "Jis' two glasses, sah ; one fer de one eve, an' one fer de oder." The optician looked at him with a frown for an instant, but seeing that the old man was innocent of any at- ? tempt to make a joke, went on with * the business before him. * "Try on these," he said, picking out a pair, "aud see if you can read the * letters on that card over there." f Uncle Ephriam carefully put on the t spectacles, and looked eagerly at the card. t "Carn't read it, shuah, boss," he \ said, looking disappointed. i "W..H iViocii " cairl thf? nnt.ic.iftn. ??<"??, l.jr 14JWV, -r , trying a stronger pair. j "No go, boss," said Uncle Ephriam. ? The dealer gave him another pair, j and then another. Not one of them enabled Uncle Ephriam to read, though he struggled ever so hard, and j wiped his forehead again and again in considerable excitement. "Look here," said the optician finally, "can you read at all ?" ( "Nebber could read, boss," said s Uncle Ephriam. "Dey nebber larned ? me how, nohow ; but I done hearu tell ob people dat could read wif glasses ' dat couldn't read without'em, nohow, * an' I made up my min' I'd see ef 'twas < dat way wif me !" MORTIFYING i The mau that boasts is on the high ' road to humiliation. Something like ^ that seems to be the lesson of an ( amusing little tale reported by the | Cincinnati Tribune. It concerns the t boyish son of a Presbyterian minister of that city. < He had been suffering from tooth- i ache, and at last his father said: i "Well, John, we will go the dentist < tomorrow aud have the tooth extracted. , John was not much elated over such , a prospect, but he made the best of it, , ana straigntway Degau oi?ggiuS i? t some of his playmates about the fearful ordeal that he was to go through. It was an "awfully big tooth," he told them. The dentist would have to use both hauds to pull it, and most likely would be obliged to call in an assistant. Well, the next day came, and in due course the boy found himself in the ' big operating-chair, on each arm of 5 which he took a good grip. The dentist looked into the open ' mouth, smiled, took up a small steel 1 instrument, thrust it under the offend- ' ing tooth and literally pried it out. The boy looked at the tooth, and ' then at the dentist. Then he walked J across the room, saying not a word, ' and began putting on his overcoat. 5 His father followed him and asked : 1 "Did it hurt you, my son?" That was too much for the hero. I Two big tears started down his cheeks. ] "Hurt!" he said. "Hurt ! Why, I he didn't pull my tooth out. He just i took it out with a tacklifter." i -Wayside (gatherings. 8ST More meu have been wrecked by ivhisky than ships by water. WST "Whatever is is right."

Jitrm anil f ireside. THE RATION FOR HORSES. No rule can be laid down as to the quantity of the rations that should be supplied to young growing horse9 or to those that are matured. What is euough to keep one animal thrifty would starve another. About the only safe rule is to let the condition of the animal determine the quantity of the ration. It always pays to keep all of the horses on the farm in good, thrifty condition. This is necessary with the young horses in order to get the best growth and development, and it is quite an item to have this growth continuous. At uo time is it necessary to keep a growing colt fat. In fact, keepiug him fut is a detriment rather than a benefit. The ration should be one calculated to develop bone and muscle rather than fat. < The work teams must be in thrifty condition in order that they may do the most work in the least time without injury to themselves. At this season it is best to commence feeding a little grain or hay in connection with pasturage rather than to let them run down. It is always best to allow the growing colts to run out a every day that the weather will permit. Colts, like sheep, need plenty of rresn air uuu e&erciw j uui it uut good economy to allow them to be ex- s posed to colds or storms. ' One of the very best rations that can 11 be given to a growing colt is uuthrash- v ed oats, run through a feed-cutter, to " which a little wheat bran is added. If, ' after the bran is added, the whole is e slightly dampened, it will be still bet- 5 ter. This makes a complete ration, as ? it supplies the material needed for the >' rtevelopmeut of bone and muscle. It is a good plan to begin feeding a ' light ration of this in the fall, gradu- ally increasing until they are giveu all they will eat up clean. When not at work it is less uecessary than when at work. It is poor economy because the teams are not at work to let them run down with tne the expectation of feeding better and getting thera in proper condition later on. The more economical plan is to feed them enough to keep them thrifty all the time. By keeping them thrifty now less gruiu will be needed to keep them soduriug the winter than if they are allowed to run down now. If, after the fall work is finished up, the teams are given a 10 days' or two weeks' run in the pastures, giving in addition their regular grain ration, it will be a great help in getting them into good shape for winter.?The Republic. i Fruit as Medicine.?Why for ' ages have people eaten apple sauce . with their roast goose and sucking pig? I Simply because the acids and pectones in the fruit assist in digesting the jj fats so abundant in this kiud of food. t For the same reason at the end of a .1 heavy dinner we eat our cooked fruits, c uud when we want their digestive ac- * tion even much more developed, we e take them after dinner in their natural t uncooked state as desert, says Popular J Science Monthly. In the past ages in- j stinct has taught men to do this; today j science tells men whv thev did it, and 1 this same science tells us that fruit. J should be eaten as an aid to digestion t of other foods much more than it is <: now. Cultivated fruits, such as apples, pears, cherries, strawberries, etc., con- e tain on analysis very similar propor- c tions of the same ingredients, which c are about 1 per cent, of malic and | other acids, aud 1 per cent, flesh i forming alhuraiuoids, with over 80 per \ cent, of water. * Digestion depends upon the action t of pepsin in the stomach upon the food, o which is greatly aided by the acids of c the stomach. Fats are digested by 1 these acids and the bile from the liver. Now, the acids and pectones in fruit peculiarly assist the ucids of the stom- t ach. Only lately even royalty has j been taking lemon juice in tea iustead jj of sugar, and lemon juice has been t prescribed largely by physicians to a help weak digestion, simply because r these acids exist very abundantly in ,v the lemon. j Fall Campaign Against Weeds.? Inquiries are constantly coming to us 1 concerning the best methods of get- s ting rid of noxious weeds, especially j. perenainals. Begin by sowing the in- j fested fields to oats in the spring, or ? wheat or rye in the fall. Soon ji after these small grains have been liar- v vested, plow under the stubble, thus 1 checking the development of the first c crop of weeds. When the second crop ^ has started on the plowed ground, go over it with a disk harrow, corn cultivator or other farm implement that j will kill the young weeds. Repeat j this operation as often as necessary c this fall to prevent the maturing of ? auy seed or the development of root . stocks. Seed the field to winter s grain again this fall and repeat the 1 operation again next year. If the Jj weeds are very persistent, as the Can- t ada thistle, quack grass, etc., cultivate the fallow often enough to prevent -J* any green leaf surface appearing. (. Otherwise the underground stems will n live for a longtime. This is the best * method of treating an infested lield, and if persisted in will be successful. Now is the time to begin the work. Do j" not neglect it.?Orange Judd Farmer. s Points About the Cook Stove.? v Too many housewives have the cook || stoves too low, thus causing it to be ? productive of backaches to the mis- r tress or maid who bends over it. The ' remedy suggested is simple, consisting of placing the stove ou an elevated platform, thus raising it to such a / height as will bring the cooking uten- v sils when on the stove within easy J jeach to one standing in an erect or ^ nearly erect posture. In one case this g required a platform about nine inches v in depth, aud, to save the trouble and expense of procuring a carpenter to Dtlild it, the housewife secured an >mpty packing box of the requisite size from the grocer at a cost of only 10 cents. Brushed over with some staining material corresponding with he color of the floor, the platform ooked neat and as though an estabished part of the room. The addiional expense involved was that of idjusting the stovepipe to the new :onditions. The top of the stove is iow as high as the kitchen table, or a idle higher, and the cook and every >ne who has occasion to use it are deighted with the change and the greatly ightened labor.?Selected.

It is the duty of every man who has my one depending on him (and almost ivery one has) to make provision for the ines* who will be left at the mercy of a old world in case the bread winner is renoved. The only way in which this can )0 done with any degree of certainty is by ife insurance. If you depend on leaving vhat you now have or what you expect o make, there are 98 chances to 2 that you rill not do it.
