"Tobacco, in its raw state, or previous
to sweating in bulk," says the Americian
Poultry Yard , " is very powerful in its ef
fect, and will certaiuly drive vermin from
the hen's nest. The whole leaves may be
' thoroughly dried so as to crumble easily,
and put in the nest of the sitting hen as a
lining under the eggs. W ith this precau
tion she will not bo driven from her pest
by venniu before the time of hatching ar
rives. Tobacco to often erroneously sup
posed to be difficult to cultivate. . Bpt it
is really as easily raised as corn or potatoes.
A. few plants only will give the poulterer

A Cheap aal Effective Filter.
lhe following has been advised as an
inexpensive fllterfor rain and other waters
for cooking and table use in small fami
lies: Use a spirit or wino cask, placing
it on end, with the head removed, and
having a faucet at the bottom to. draw off
the clear water. T6 fit for a filter, take
the removed top head of- tho cask, nnd
with e? small bit bore holes nil over it ;
then place four clean bricks or blocks of
wood on the bottom, and on these rest the
perforated top. Now 1111 upon it about
fourinchcsot charcoal chopjR'd into small
bite tho slr.o of poas, nnd over this place
ft layer of clean sand, six inches cleep.
Impure water poured into the ensk on top
of the sand .will become clear nnd spark
ling after a little while, or ns soon n* nil
-the fine particles aro worked out of the
"charcoal and sand. This filter will not
need renewing oftener than once in two
or three months.
Itenulta from Various Fertilizer*.
Professor. Atwater, who has experi
mented with various fertilizing sub
stances on different crops, reports that
the rosults gained appear to justify tho
.following conclusions: The largest aver
age yield for all crops is practically sc
oured by tho use of {cftilizers containing
^1 the essential elements of .plant food.
Hehas found nitrate of soda rarely u?c
futfohen used alone; eulphato of lime
frtncntly, muriate of" potash very often
and} tho sulphur phosphntcs generally
befibflcinl. Corn requires little nitrogen
beside, what. it can draw from natural
sources, whilo its yield is largely in
creased under tho employment of mineral
fertilii$rp. Potatrfes and turnips re
spond uniformly to all the fertilizing in
gredients. As soils vary in their capacity
for convoying food to crops experiments
are nocessary to determine the requisites
of a particuW%?>il.

' ?< ' Plf Fe?dliig>
Professor Nilos. when experimenting in
pig feeding, divided tho time' into tive
. periods. For the first period, when tho
pigs were the youngest, it took 8/8 pounds
of meal for oho pound of growth ; in tho
second period. 4.5 pounds; third, 4.22
pouhds; foUrtn, 0.24 pounds, and fifth,
-4.98 pounds. From this it appears that
when the pigs wero youngest ono bnsliol
mado 14.78 pounds of growth; second,
18.82 pounds ; third, 18*. 27 pounds ; fourth,
10.68pounds;.flfth,. 0.58 pounds, showing
that tho older tho pigs grow the moro feed
? it took to mako r pound of moat. It may
be safely counted, theroforo, that ton pigs
have gained eleven pounds in growth to
each bushel of corn or its equivalent, or
the 270 pounds havo required t wenty-four
' ?and one-half bushels of corn, valued at
^i$12.25. o* |1 .22 each, until, two months
fv old. when in6st(of them will be sold for
? 'brooding purposes. We find tho cost of
X, feeding tno aow one year is $1 1.8ft. To
?u should bo added $12.25 for feeding
? Jib* pigs until two months old, making
$28.01 accost of feod for litter, or $2.80
. each at w&aft tag timo. Ono may determi nc
the worth of his ten acres of ground used
as a pasture and count the Interest ns
well as first cost of ttock, all tho outlay
in hired holp And attending to stock.
Theii 6ne-f ventiethof this footingshould
be added ? tho estimate of expenses of
feed to ascertain tho cost of each litter.
Tho ohances aro that ho will find his pigs
have cost him hist almut what they arc
worth for feeding as stock hogs, and
further, that unless he advertises judi
eiottsly through the papers /caching
. > /armors and stockmen ho will have his
pigs left on his hands to fatten for the
market. To bo sure, they will be good
feeders and find ready salo at tho stock
tards. yet improved pigs, such as hRvo
been nero conBldcrod, if f>roperlv adver
tised, will sell at nn advance of from fifty
' to 100 per cent above tho cost of pro

Hob riothes-Pins are Made.
Clothes-pins now come principally from
Maine, whcrrf the requisite lumber is abun
dant. A Bangor paper describes the way
they are made in one of tho lare cr factor
ies, at Vanceboro.
The wood used is mainly white birch
and bccch. The logs are cut and hauled
to tho Bhorcs, of the lake or tho streams
emptying into it, whence they are floated
down to the mill. As fast a9 required,
they are hauled into tho "mill bv a wind
lass and chain worked by eteam power,
and sawed into lengtM of sixteen or
twenty-two inches, --the lormfr to bo made
into pins, and the latter into boards for
the boxes required in packing. The six
teen-inch lengths arc next Hawed into
boa I'd j of tho requisite thickness by a
shingle machine, then- into strips of tho
proper sizo by a gang of twelve circular
saws, and finally into five-inch lengths by
a gang of three sawf.
The logs haft now boon cut up into
blocks about five inches long and three
fourths of an inch square. Fulling, a*
they leave tho Raw*, on an elevator belt,
they are curried into an upper story, and.
returning lo the first floor, are deposited
in troughs whence they are fed to tne
turning lathes, of which there arc several,
each being ' 1 -?ble of turning eighty pins
a minute, i uey are then passed to the
slotting machines, in which a peculiar
arrnngemeut of knive s inserted in a cir
cular suw gives the slot the proper tlange,
after which they arc automatically
carried by elevator belts to the drving
bins on the second floor, where they are
subjected to a high -temperature,
f;eneraterl by steampipes. until thorough
y seaxuied. There are several of these
bins, the largest of which has a capacity
of one hundred boxes, or seventy-two
thousand pins, jind the smaller ones fifty
boxes.
The pins are now roa<ly for polishing
and. packing. The polishing is accom
plished by means of perforated cylinders
or drums, each capable of holding forty
bushels, in which tho pins are plnc/d,
and kept constantly revolving until they
become a'< smooth as if polished by hand
with the finest sandpaper. A few minutes
before 1 1) is process is completed a small
amount of tallow is thrown in the drums
with the pins, after which a few more
revolutions give them a beautiful, glossy
appearance. These polishing drums are
suspended directly over the packing
counter on the first floor of the mill, and
being thus immediately beneath the ceil
ing of the floor above arc readily filled
through scuttles from the drying pins on
the second floor, and as easily emptied
on the counter below, where the pins arc
sorted into first and second grades, and
packed in boxes of flvu gross each. The
sorting and packing are done by girls.
Two hundred and fifty box^s arc packed
in a day. ?
The market for clothes pins is not con
fined to any special locality, but is found
nearly all over tho world. Ten thousand
boxes have been shipped to Melbourne,
Australia, within four months. Ten firms
in London carry a stock of 10,000 boxes
each, and two firms in Boston carry a like
amount.- Ma?trry.
Good Thanksgiving Story.
A correspondent of the Chrittinn
H '?>??& tells this Btory: One of tho
Talker's recent articles, alluding to an
ancient proclamation, reminded me of an
amusing incident that occurred in Massa
chusetts some sixty years ago. Egre
mont, in old Berkshire county, is a toler- >
ably level town, with a sandy soil, and
famous for its quantity of woodchueks ?
so much so, that tho town was humor
ously called " Chuckery." In those days
the Thanksgiving proclamation was an
institution of great import, printed with
large type on a large sneet, and sent to
each county sheriff, and by him a copy .
given to cach minister, to be read in
Sublic on the Babbuth preceding the day
esignated as the great day of the
year. In, this document was one j
phrase always tho same, i. o. , to render
thanks for the success and prosperity .of
our manufacturers, commerce and agri
culture. Tho sheriff, being a wag, took
the copy for Egreraont, and erased tho
word agriculture and substituted
"ChuQkorv," and ananged to have it
handed to the minister as ho passed into
tho " meeting-house." At the proper
time in the order of the exercise, with
great pomp and dignity, with a full voice
and solemn demeanor, the minister an
nounced : " A, proclamation from the
f governor of the commonwealth ! " When
ie reached the three ph rases, "manu
factures," "commerce and "Chuck
ery," there was a general "snickering'
through tho house, at which the minister,
abashed, adjusted his glass, nmd brought
tho paper closer to his eyes, and raising
his voice exclaimed In nlmost h shout:
" 'Tin Chuckery, as true aR you live! '

\ writer, learned in the early history
of $ew England, suggests that, if In
cr MN Mother were alive, he could tell
u* how Thanksgiving day originated. Is
it not a little curious that a holiday
which does not date back but a trifle
over two and a half centuries should
give historians so much trouble to ascer
tain its origin t One tradition under
takes to aocount for Thanksgiving day
in this way : In the oarly days oi ths
Nerr England settlements the people
were somewhere gathered together to
consider the propriety of appointing a
day of fasting ana prayer, in view' of the
many sorrows and calamities by which
thay were th'on encompassed, One
brothor, more chcorful-bearted than
the rest, ventured to suggest
the propriety of counting up
the many bles.-ings which had |
fallen to t"hrir lot. and impressed his
thought so deeply on the minds of th?""
present that they concluded to appoint a
any of thanksgiving, instead of a day of j
fasting. A writer in the .Vagtitiht of '
American I fit 'wry does not credit this 1
tradition. He mivs: When we go hack
to the century before Butler (the author 1
of "Uudibras," who speaks of "Thanks- (
giving day among the churches"), it is
found to be tilled up with fasts and
thanksgivingsj especially during the ,
time of Elizabeth, as the publications of
the Parker aoeiety prove. Under Eliza
Iwth it was expressly ordered that on
tnanksgiving days no servile labor should
be performed, and severe penalties were ,
attached to the violation of this order, j
The New England worthies adopted the j
pritteiplu. The early settlers brought I
with them a traditional respect for days
of thanksgiving. Nevertheless, false ,
notions on this subject abound, and
Thanksgiving day i* popularly supposed t
to have been established first at (
Plymouth, and continued without inter
ruption from the landing until now;
while a supplementary theory declares
that the so called originators of the f<???ti- j
vnl intended thereby to suppress ( hrist
mas.
In the first place, however, it must be
stated that the earliest service of this
kind was held by the Church of England
men, the Popham colonists, who. August
0, 1007, old stvlc, landed upon Monhe- j
gan, near the Kennebec, and, under the ?
shadow of a high cross, listened to a
sermon by Chaplain Seymour, also
"gyving tiod thanks for our happy ?
meetinge and satTc aryvall into the con- |
try,'1 At Plymouth, in 1021, the autumn |
after the arrival, a notable thanksgiving
was held. The brief account/* present a i
joyous picture. As is learned from ]
VVinslow, the harvest being gathered,
the governor "*cnt four men on fowling, j
that so we might, after a speedy manner, j
rejoice together," and tne traditional 1
turkey was added to the abundant veni- I
son. The people gave themselves up to |
recreation, and the gieat chief, Mnssa- j
soit, was feasted for tli- e days with his j
ninety swarthy retainers. Possibly, on
this first Plymouth Thanksgiving, there
was more carousing than we sup
fiose, while there is not the slightest
ndication of any religious observance.
In 1022 there is no mention of thanks
giving, but in 1028 a day was kept; not,
however, in the autumn, as a harvest fes
tival, but in July, upon the arrival of
some provisions. After this nothing is
heard of thankgiving at Plymouth for ;
nearly half a century. So far os the ;
colonial records go, they indicate that j
the day did not find a revival until 1008, I
when there was some kind of a thanks- j
giving. Again, Juno 27, 1080, there '
was a thanksgiving for the accession of
William and Mary. In 101)0 an autumnal |
thanksgiving was held, and the next i
year Plymouth colony wos merged into !
Massachusetts, and so passes out of the
story. If any festival can be said to have
been established' it was established in
imitation of the old customs across the
sea. Distinct religious societies, how
ever, may have kept occasional thanks
givings, as the people at Barnstable ob
served thanksgiving December 22, 1030, 1
and December 11, 1030.
In the Massachusetts colony the first
thanksgiving was held at Boston, July |
8, 1030, it being a special occasion, i
having no reference to harvests. Again, !
in February, 1031, fherc was a thankB j
giving, as already noticed. In the Octo- I
ber fallowing a thanksgiving was held
foi the safe arrival of " Mrs. Winthrop
and lior children." In these appoint
ments one does not find tho thanksgiving I
that we know to-day, nor can there be I
detected any fell designs against Christ- I
mas. In 1033, on June 5, there w as a ,
thanksgiving for the victories in the Pala- i
tinatc, and in October another for the I
harvest. In 1037 there was a thanks- ]
giving for victory over the Poquots, and '
in 1088 for the arrival of ships and for I
tho harvest. Tho thanksgiving days I
from 1034 to 1084 numbered about ?
twenty-one, or less than one in every two I
years. The celebration of 1070 had
special reference to tho victory over King j
Philip, though thcro woro those in i
Church's expedition who had "much
doubt then, nnd afterward seriously in- j
quired whether burning their enemies j
alive could be consistent with humanity |
and tho benevolent principles of tho
gospel." Thnt of 1001 was for " stop
ping the bottles of heaven" and restrain
ing tho "excessive raigtoB."
Erom thiH period until the Revolution a
.thanksgiving of some kind occurred ]
nearly every year, and even twice in the I
name year, as in 1742, as is learned from 1
the manuscript records at the State house
in this city. Somo of these dates were
appointed by the royal governors, while,
again, they were *^rr'n,f,d by tho king or
queen, or by the home b ard of trade.
The people were ordered t< give thanks
when an heir to the throne v as expected,
and when the royal stranger arrived Mas
sachusetts tried to bo thankful again.
In some of tho other colonies occa
sional thanksgivings were held. In Con
necticut fast, days frequently followed
tho festivals ?>f gOO<l oheer, pos?uhly for
hygienic reasons! The early hutch soem
to have had singular Ideas regarding
thanksgiving day. In 1044 tho
New Yorkers marched to Green
wich, Conn., and shot or burned
alive 500 or 000 Indians, including
women and children. They then marched ,
hack to New York and sat. down to a
thanksgiving dinner. At the Close, of '
tho Revolution a tendency to make thanks |
giving day a regular institution in New j
York was apparent, and Governor .lay
issued a proclamation for November II, j
1705. Down to Governor Clinton's time i
the observance of the. day was more or j
less broken. The politicians brought oh- i
joction to both Clinton and Jay in the !
matter of their appointment of a day of !
thanksgiving, accusing those governors |
of trying fo " flatter religious prejudice," I
an objection frequently heard nowaday I
among extreme radicals. Tho beginning j
of the movement which has resulted in
the nationalizing of an ancient. English J
practice is here traced. It Is difficult to
say just how much truth there is in tho
popular traditions regarding the origin
of thanksgiving. That thanksgiving
day is not a Yankee notion is, however,
pretty clear. - /fohton Herald.

Ttafat Mr v ? ,
A gentleman tells the Cleveland Lender j
t^Vn which la repeated in his own lan- j
guuge :
1 wish to relate to you a ludicrous little
episode which took place in a drawing- j
room car between Ikwtonaud New York. I
Beside myself and wife there were four j
ladies and a five-year-old boy, whoso name J
was John, all evidently traveling to
gether, and an old gentleman who sat*
opposite the ladies, wearing a broad
brimmed peaked felt hat, a brown wig
and very gray whiskers. He had takon
off his boots and encased his feet in
slippers, and ensconscod himsolf in one
of the big chairs of tho car, evidently
determined to make himself comfortable
while he whiled away th? time delving
into a magazine. John was evidently a
sort of a boyish nuisance. Ho Kept mov
ing about like a perjMJtual motion ma- |
chine. His mother was" a small, lean i
woman. with a thin face, Ions, peaked !
nose, a pointed projecting chin and gray j
eyes sunk deej ly in her little head, i
Her voice waj of IV.e" most j
piercing, squeaking kind that culd pos- [
sibly be imagined. Every tim* lv t boy j
was engaged in tonic mischievous opera
tion. t he mother v ould reprimand him by j
screaming out in her horribly shrill voice, j
in a falsetto note, "John!" That ear pierc
ing sound caused tho old gent'eman to j
give a jump n<- though he h.wl heard the ]
sudden blast of a locomotive whistle clo-?o |
?by. Pretty soon John w ould be impaling j
some {Mrs on the window and the terrific i
sound would l>e heard again. calling.
"John !"an<l theold gentleman would give
another stait it; the midM of his reading
After another interval John would lake a J
round fool cushion and roll il along; the
aisle, like a nine pin ball, and i< went
whack again.-t the leg of the old gentle
man, and simult meou-lv came the round j
of "John!" in the high falsetto voice of i
the mother. an<r the gentleman gavel
aim her tremendous start. This call
ing of "John" in that unearthly j
shrill tone wa* kept up every little I
whil" till the train reached Springfield.
Here theold gi lttleman pulled on his boot *,
stowed away his slippers, gathered his
traps together, and proceeded to get
off the car. As he was pat-sing the
mother and "John" n his way out, he
stopped, looked at her in a.dignified man
ner, showed her a piece of paper covered
with tally marks, and said, in iv calm but
loud voice, "Madam, you have screamed
out 'John ' j 1 1 v t one hundred and seven
ty-one times!" and with a bow threw tho
paper 011 her lap and left the car. The
woman gazed at him till he dissappeared
with her mouth wonderingly open and in
a momentarily dazed condition. Finally
she. came to and furiously vented her
spite on. John by taking him across her
knees and giving him a tcrritic spanking
in spite of his yells. The whole sceno
was so ridiculous and ludicrous that a'l
of the passengers, including the ladies of
the party who were traveling with the
mother of "John, "gave way to a paroxysm
of laughter, in spite of poor John's tears
at being made to suffer for thn old gentle
man's sarcasm.
Smoking In Mexico.
While waiting for coffee, and after
ward during pnuses in the conversation,
says a correspondent, writing from Mex
ico, the gentlemen of tho family ? and not
infrequently tho ladies also ? settle grace
fully back in their chairs and enjoy a
cigarctte or two. I learned a lesson at
my very first dinner in Mexico. It was
at a hotel tabic, and a stranger Mexican
seated boside me, who happened to finish
his dinner first, innocently lighted his
cigar for the usual table smoke, which I,
in the depth of my ignorance, regarded
as a personal insult, and indignantly left
the table. Since that day I havcbecomo
" learned in the ways of tho Egyptians,"
and cannot only tolerate the national cus
tom with equanimity, but (1>c not horri
fied, oh, fastidious friends!) occasionally
take a dinner cigarette myself ! When one is
in Home it is well to do as the Iiomans do.
These tiny "Mexican cigarettes, rolled up
in corn-husks or tissue paper, are not at
all like the strong-smelling things we
have in the United States. v These arc not
much larger than straws, the husk is
sweet to the taste, and they have a dcli
catc fragrance which is very pleasant. In
Mexico everybody smokes at all times
and in all places at the theatre, in the
ballroom, everywhere. In making formal
calls or more extended visit.s politeness
demands an immediate and frequent ex

IIonscH In Washington.
A Wellington letter to the Louisville
Courier- Journal nays; Mr. Seward once
gave the following j>icce of advice to a
gentlemnn who was just stepping out of
otlice here, and who proposed to settle in
Washington and practice law. Said Mr.
Seward: " Don't do it unless you aro
willing to become a nobody. Never
give uj> your citizenship in your State,
especially as you cannot acquire it. in
Washington. It- is right that thero
should be no citizenship here, for tho
government pays half the expense of tho
city and district, and local government
would make the system complex and un
satisfactory, and, as there ih no citizen
ship in the district, every man can retain
the privilege of voting in his State."
"Hut," urged tho gentleman, " tho
winters of New England are. long and
severe, and neither I nor my family Imvo
any health there, but ate well in Wash
ington." To this Mr, Seward answered;
" Then spend three or four winter
months there, but keep your residence at
your old home. If you build here you
and your family will live hero from
October to June, and travel during the
summer season, and your neighbors and
old friends will resent the affront you
have put upon them by your neglect to
return to your former homo, ho that, if
you should seek fresh honors from them,
they will refuse to support you. an?l you
will be regarded as an alien."
A Singing Iteaeh.
There is a sinking bench at Manchester,
Mass , and this is what a writer in M'icnrr,
says of it: " Hands were taken from tho
w> r ailed ' singing beach' on the coast of
Massachusetts, near Manchester on the
Sea. and subjected to microscopical ex
amination. In this beach, the felspathic
rocks aro intersected by numerous dykes
of igneous rocks, among which porphy
ritio diorito i? noticeable. Tho phe
nomenon which gives riso to the name of
tho beach is confined to tho portion of
sand lying between the water-line and
the loose sand above the reach of ordin
ary high tide. Portions emit the sound;
but closely contiguous areas fail to do so,
or answer feebly. The sounding sand is
nenr tho surface, at the depth of one or
two f eet, it ceases, perhaps because of
moisture The sound is produced by
pressure, and may be likened to a sub
dued crushing ; it is of low intensity and
pitch, is not metallic nor crackling. It
occurs when the sand is pressed In
ordinary walking, increases with sudden
tressure of the foot upon the sand, and
s perceptible upon mere stirring by the
hand, or even plunging one finger and
removing it suddenly. It can l>o intensi
fiod by dragging wood over the beach.

FOR FEMININE READERS.!
fVntale Doctors In India.
The plan for eroploving female doctors
In India, one of the few thoroughly sen
sible plans recently started by philanthro
pists, seems likely to be a success. A sum
of i'4,000 has been tuised in Bombay to
guarantee salaries for two or three years
to English ladiex, and ?'20,000 to sturt a
native hospital for women ; whilo in Mad
ras, four ladies liavo been admitted to
Sractice by the local modical oollcge.
no of these is that remarkable woman,
Mrs. Scharliel?, who went to Kngland to
perfect her mcdical education, and dis?
tancod all competitors at the London uni
versity. Lastly, Mr. River! Thompson,
Lieutenant-Governor of Bengal, in a
.ninute full of clear sense and sympathy
or native suffering, has over ridden the
opposition of the council of the nedical
college, and ordeied the admission of fe
male students, if qualified by general ed
ucation. The number of entrances is cer
tain to be large nud in a few yenvs each
of ti e three president ie-, Till have n staff
of female doctors thoroughly familiar
w ith 'he language and in tued to the cli
mate They will reduce the sum of human
mi.e'y far more than a dofpn orders nd
mitting l.idies with an English veneer on
them to positions for which th?y are hope
lessly disqualified.
T>-e appropriate arrangements of th"
hair is a most important c onsideration.
The majority blindly follow a prevailing
back hair; that of the French fashion of
a twist -crown to the top of the head, and
the low knot at the bark. This must be
managed according to one's own style,
but the front hair that adds to or
detracts from the expression and general
style yields u variety of devices in all
fashionable shades of hair applicable to
all faces and nil complexion*. The very
latest and most important invention in
perfect naturalness is the " La Grande,"
which is made on a patent spring divided
in the middle gracefully, falling apart
and showing the naturni parting. This
is in either loose w aves or curls in gray,
white, or all other shades of hair. The
new "Baby" bang is a wave of light
fluffy little curls about the brow with the
addition of a long straight switch be
hind. This is seen in fashionable colors
of hair, and notwithstanding its name, is
also made of gray and of white hair.
The " Double Coquette" is light and
loose in rings on top. The almost invis
ible web ie woven of natural hair.
The " Langtry," the "Fatti" and
other waves of last year are still worn by
those for whom they seem especially
adapted as regards expression. Tho
revival of clusters of short, thick curls at
the back of the head ie talked of as a
fiossibillty in something of the Madame
tecamier etyle, or simply worn in a
cluster of two or three curls on ono side
of the Grecian twist or long looped hair.

A Noted Driver on Driving.
John Splan, who begun his carccr on
tho turf seventeen years ago, when he <
was seventeen years old, and haw handled
many of the best horses in the. country,
including tho famous Ranis, is as ready
and sliclc a talker as he. is a driver.
"Yes, sir, a good driver is as essential bp |
a good horse. I don't know as a good !
man could do much with a stick of a j
horse, but I've seen many a horso de- i
feated that, would have won if its driver
had known his business. Just what
makes a good driver you can't tell.
"You see, a driver has got to do more
than sit behind a horse. Ho must look
out lor the shoeing, must get the. horse's
head just right, must study his horse, j
know how ho ought to be fed, harnessed i
and nil that. Thoro arc a hundred things |
beside the mere driving that he mus
have his eye on and be studying. Horses ?
are just as different as people. Home are f
nervous, fretting and stewing all the I
time and others are so cool that a cy- j
clone wouldn't make them jump. Now, i
you (ce if a man that was used to driving ;
onoof the nervous kind took hold of a '
la r.j horso ho'd like as not break him all I
up.
' There's one thing a driver must I
have, and that's a cool head. He must \
not be all down when he doesn't win, or !
way \ip when ho dotife, but just take it an
It. comes and go it. I've se?n men on the
track with money up on their horses who
were as worked up about it as an old
lady that, had got to hftvo her tooth
pulled out. That won't do. I don't
take any stock in cordials to give a man
the necessary courage. A good night's
sleep is tho nest thing that any man can
take before a race. Of course, we bet
on the races. That's what we are in
terested in ; it's part of our business. I
don't think horsemon gamble much out
side. They put in their money on a ,
horse just as a man buys a barrel of flour
and expects to get more than he gave for .
if. The public think there's ft good deal f
mure crooked work thnn there really is. ?
I dv n't know a driver, And I've slept, j
with most of 'em, * 'no would pull his
employer's horse to v, in money himself.
It wouldn't pay. Driving is a profession j
now, and a man who has paid $r?,000 or j
$ 10,000 for a piece of property hunts
till he finds n good man to take eare of
it, and then pays him handsomely. Most
owners have all tho money they want and '
are anxious only that their horses win.''
A Dominie's Slip of Tongue.
When a dominie gets to amplifying n
Quotation from the Bible, he should 1>?' a
little careful about, looking to see where |
he is coming out. The Heverend J. W. j
Main, of Philadelphia, knows how this is ,
himself He was preaching, in Pittsburg i
last Hunday night, and was t"iling what
a nice place heaven is. After cnurner I
at ing the things not to be found there,
the reverend gentleman said "There is
no darkness tnere, no clouds, no sickness,
no graves, no funerals, no preachers
At tnis point a smile ran over the audi
eaee, wnlch the sjwaker perceivlYig, and
seeing the necessity of an explanation, he
interpolated the remark ; "I mean there'*

COWBOYS.
The Sort of Life the Wild Herder*
Lead in Their Own Prairie*.
"I was a cow-boy myself for five years
before I bought a ranch," ?aid W. G
Gates, of Toxas, to a reporter, " and made
somo lucky ventures iu cattle, and 1 know
them and like them. The cow-boy's
dress is usually a shirt, a pair of Mexi
can cloth jMiuta, with a l>olt around the
waist, in which is carried a couplo of
pistols, generally improved fcmith ?t
Wesson's, a broad, white sombrero, a
pair of heavy top-boots, into which his
Ei\nts aro stuffed, and a rifle swung ov?i
is back. They aro in the saddle nfteen
hours out of tho twenty -four, and are I
the ftnost horsemen in tho world. The '
stories told of their marksmanship are
not exaggerated. I have seen them snuff I
a candln at fifty and soventy-flve yards
with a rille and think nothing of it. The |
quiclvnes* v i'h which th"y draw and tire 1
i- something wonderful. I snw Black I
J?hn Adair", a notorious character who !
roams about the w stern port of 'h* !
Ptato, shoot i man I've time* before hi?
victim fell. Wh* n th y "samiMCfl him
they found that the fl v s'"ot? lnd en 1

tlv-n a dollar, and a'l th" l'v l< i l
pasvd through his heart. The mm ? nd
thrown n gla^s of whisky at Ad im*' head. i
' These men hive n strange kind of j
system of ethics among themselves On'? j
will always tnk" the part of another, inn j
row. A man who irets whipped i- held |
in about the same light tis a man would 1
be h' ld who would d> fault with hi* cm- [
plover's money. I saw one of them with j
n notched knife. There were fifteen
notches, and each notch represented h
dead mnn. He was but twenty-eight yean j
old. They are paid about f'iO a month, i
and as t h< y generally work far from tho
haunts of men, they have no opportunity
to spend much of this money. When
they come to town they usually conic in
crowds, and with plenty of money. Then
woe to the man that insults or cheats
them. They usually yet drunk on such
occasions, and. among their other meth
ods of amusing themselves, they have a
way of shooting the corks off bottles
and other little eccentricities of that
kind.
" Like all Americans on the border Oi
civilization, they have a strong sense of
humor and of sentiment. No matter
how drunk a cow-boy is, he is always
ready to appreciate a joke: and a wo
man never has to appeal to him in vain
for protection. It is true, if he fancies
her particularly, he may express his de
votion in nn uncouth way; but 1 have
seen some exhibitions of rare delicacy
among them. I knew one of these men
who gave almost a year's salary to help a
'poor Massachusetts girl who had strand
ed iu a frontier town, without friends or
clothes or money, to get her back to her
friends. Of course, these men have their
leaders, their heroes. These are the men
who can drink more whisky, shoot faster
and surer, risk their lives more reckless
ly, bo first in at a dance and at n death,
be more chivalrous, more generous than
the common herd. But tho cow-boy is
fast losing caste. Tho law is becoming
supremo. The great ranches pre being
divided up, towns arc becoming more
numerous and the police more elncient.
The cow-boy. like tho Forty-niner, will
soon be a thing of the past.
"I remember one instance that may
give you some conception of the queer
characters tou meet among these
people. Fifteen years ago I w as work
ing for a big rancher, forty miles west of
Fort Worth, named Jonathan Andrews.
He had about 20.000 acres of land well
stocked. There were about seventy-five
of us herding the cattle. None of these
men were particularly noticeable, except
one. lie went by tho name of 'Gentle
man Joe.' lie was a tall, lank, black
haired fellow, with a pale face and as
wild a pair of black eyes as I ever saw.
If ever t hero wa.i undying, fierce, burn
ing passion in a man's eyes it was in his.
I never looked at him without shudder
ing. IIo cared absolutely nothing what
ever for money, and gave it away, or
threw it away as fast as he got it. He
drank deeply at times, but was never
quarrclsomo. All the men like 1 him nnd
feared him, and though he was never
known to shoot a man. he was of that
peculiar class that you knew by intuition
it would not do to meddle with. He
talked well when he did talk, which was
rare, and never swore. It was to this
and the fatt that he was unvaryingly po
lite in all his intercourse with the rest, of
the boys that he owed his nicknamo. I
found him one day with a worn old book
in his hand, and looking over his
shoulder I saw it was 'King Lear.' He
and I became more intimate after that,
ar.d although he told me nothing of hi"
pu?t history, I caught from an odd word
that dropped here and there that he was
college-bred, and used to good society
and better days.
" One night a party was made up to go
into Fort Worth. I was forced into tho
crowd, much against my will, for I knew
that it would end in a wild drunk.
' Gentleman Joe' went with us. Wo
rode into town, some twenty-five of us,
and the first place we ran into was a
saloon. All the party were, soon hilari
ous, except 'Gentleman Joe' and myself.
He drank deeply, but it didn't appear to
affect him. lie. and I were standing at
one end of the bar talking, when a littlo
mite of a r 1 eame in, and after looking
about timidly ran un to a big swagger
ing man named Red McGuire, a noted
gambler and desperado in that section,
and said something to him in a low voico.
McGuire answered with an oath and went
on wilh his drinking A lounger near
by whispered that 'Hod's woman was
after him again.' The little child was
persistent and pulled at MeGuiro's coat
tails. He turned about at Inst and
struck the. child in the face. The blow
sent the little one reeling across th*
room. Her head hit the wall, and she
fell senseless to the lloor, A do/.eti
hands were laid on their pistols, but Joo
was quicker than the rest. He gave ono
spring, laid Ids hand heavily on MeGuiro's
shoulder, and stood over him for an
instant with a bloodless face, and his bi^,
wild oyes almost starting from their
sockets, Then he said, rather quietly, I
thought: ' What did you strike that girl
for ?' McGuire shook Joe's hand off his
big shoulder, and, starting to bis feet,
stared insolently at him.
" I don't see that it's any of your btisl
nes?, '
" We all knew what would eonie. and
it came quick enough I don't know
who ffot liis gun out first, but I think
MeOuire .did. Both reports sounded to
Set her, and both men fell back stone
oad. McGuire was shot, through the
brain When we went to wash tlui blood
from the little hole over Joe's heart, we
found a black silken packet. The bullet
had passed through and through it We
opened it reverentially, and there wn? a
womnn's picture with an ugly, blnrk h'>|o
disfiguring the face. Bound around it
with a faded blue ribbon was a lock of
sunny golden hair and a letter, a short
letter, worn with much thumbing and
hloi ? d with many teardrop" The letter
