-Yokes for Oxen.-No one will dis
pute that the OK is oftentimes misused
like the horse, by being worked in gear
that does not fit him. You will find fifty
horses with lacerated breasts or shoul-
ders, from a hard leather collar, where
you will find one OK with a scar from the
yoke. If the yoke is long enough, oxen
will not waddle and haul sideways, and
if the yoke and bows are made to fit the
neck and shoulders, you will not often
see them sore. A yoke should be made
just crooked enough, and the staple just
long enough below the yoke, to have the
you haul load. The bows should be
set close to the neck, so they will not
play backward, and so bruise the points
of the shoulder, but so arranged that the
yoke will rest on the front or top of the
shoulder

A NEW CONFIDENCE GAME.-A we'll
dressed young man stopped at Vermont
hotel recently, for a few days, and made
acquaintance. The evening of the Sec
ond day of his arrival, nice young lady
came along, unattended, and instantly at
tracted the attention of the impressible
youngsters, who canvassed her charms
fully as they sat apart from her at supper.
The stranger youth even went so far as TO
say that he would marry her if she would
have him, and offered, for substantial
wager, to pop the question and have the
marriage ceremony performed right away.
The wager was accepted, and also the
proposal of marriage, made so suddenly
to her by the young man, and the parson
called in, who soon united the twain.
The sum wagered was paid over to the
happy bridegroom, and he and his bride
set off next day on their marriage tour.
What lends romance to the circumstance
is the fact that the young couple had al.
ready been man and wife for a year.

Society, describes the subjoined case "The
patient, who was exhibited to the society, had
had both eye lids diseased for twenty-seven
years, with what had been called cancer by
many surgeons. Toremove the entire disease,
both lids, as we'll as the skin from the side Of
the nose, had to be removed, leaving the left
eye (his only good one) exposed in frightful
gap. To protect the eye, and at the same
time to remove the hideous deformity, Prof.
Chisolm undertook the delicate surgical ope-
ration Of manufacturing two lids-the upper
lid from the skin of the forehead, and the
lower lid from the skin of the cheek. So
very successfully had this been accomplished,
that it required close observation to detect
the difference between the left side Of the face,
with the manufactured lids, and the right side,
with the lids that nature had made. The
case had been very satisfactory one, to both
surgeon and patient"

at Washington against the Piedmont railroad,

does not pay handsomely in Tennessee. More
men break up at it than make fortunes, or

SINGULARLY enough, abe Iron Age
argues that paper is to become the gen.
eral, il not the universal substitute for
wool, leather and india rubber, as also,
to some extent, for copper, tin and zinc,
and that even iron is not adapted to uses
so widely various-it being practicable,
indeed, to bring paper pulp to such q
state of toughness and solidity, by pres
sure, as to be almost as fire proof and
indestructible as iron, and thus our rail-
road cars may be made of paper, instead
of iron. thereby preventing the dangers
now incurred in case of accidents. 1t is
claimed that, in proportion to its weight,
paper is, probably, the strongest material
Of construction known, combining more
perfectly than any other substance the
qualities of strength, lightness, hexibility,
durability and cheapness. So many and
various, too, are the articles which can be
made, that it can be manufactured in
quantities practically unlimited in every
civilized country, and, as long as plants
continue to grow, paper manufacture
will be sustained. 1t is, also, under oil
circumstances, an easy material to work
anu handle. The fact is probably well
known that the paper wheels which have
been used with success on some OF the
palace-cars are formed Of compressed
paper fitted into a steel tire; iron plates
are then adapted to each side Of the paper
and bolted together to prevent anySdis
placement Of the filing.
