John Hartman'S Wonderful Dog,

John Hartman is German who
lives in "my" ward. After reading Of
the numerous burglars that had occur.
red recently, he thought lie would
guard his premises by buying q watch
dog. After mdefatigable efforts he f
nally succeeded in securing specimen
Of the bull species of CANNES. That
night John met some boon companions
and they chad time," and, of course,
did not get home till rather late, say
two or three o'clock in the morning.
AS lie entered his gate he was greeted
with an omnous growl. Not lninding
this, he proceeded in the rather Ito
him) difficult task of unlocking the
door. His bulldog was a good watch
err. 1t saw him miss the key-hole
about dozen times, and then came to
the conclusion that this must be bur-
glar trying to enter the building
With one bound he fastened his teeth
in the vicinity of Johns coat tailpock-
els, and giving tremendous ting, pull
ed off that useful member of bis wear
ing apparel, on which he sits, and at
The same time pulled the unsteady man
off his feet. Then he stood over the
PROSTATE form Of bis master, and at
every attempt he made to rise, he
would gently bite him in some tender
part to keep him quiet, keeping up a
violent barking all the time. In vain
John tried to whistle to him. He
couldn't pucker his mouth sufficiently
to call poodle, let alone big bull
dog. Then he tried coaxing, but "nice
doggie" wouldn't coax worth cent,
but barked all the louder. Then John
tried scolding, but the incoherent ex-
pressious swayed not the amiabiity Of
The good watch dog one particle. At
length "tired of foolin" with the darn
ed BEAST" as he said uext morning.
John lay perfectly still, and would
have laid that way all night, had not
his wife, hearing the noise, come to the
door, and, seeing the we'll known form
fastened to the rescue. With that
rare presence of mind for which fe-
males are justly celebrated, she seized
a stick, and with a mighty effort hit
the faithful hound terrific blow just
behind the ear, and before "doggie"
could recover from his surprise, bore
her faithful spouse into the house.
John sold that dog for ten cents.

4 Very Brilliant Record Of Cures.

An American humorist tells us that
it would have been money in his pock-
ct if he had been born without q stom
ach, and then proceeds to fgureup the
cost of a chronic dyspepsia, to which
he is a martyr, and which he says it is
impossible to cure. On this point.
"Josh Billings" (for he is the party re-
ferred toy is mistaken. Unless his
stomach differs from all other dyspep-
tic stomachs, Hostetterls Bitters will
cure him in less than three months.
This it would be safe to guarantee un-
der any penalty. There are a few, a
very few, actual specifics for disease in
existence, and Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers may be set down as one of them.
In cases of indigestion it never fails.
Persons who had suffered for many
years almost every conceivable species
of torture from this agonizing COM
plaint, have been permanently cured
with the Bitters in six weeks. Hun
dreds Of such instances are on record,
authenticated by the testimony of
prominent men in every walk of life,
eminent physicians among the number.
But this celebrated vegetable prepera-
ton is something more than stom-
achic and tonic. It is also an alter
alive of wonderful virtue. In liver
complaint its effect is as direct and i'm
mediate as that of calolnel or blue pill,
and far more salutary and in all dis.
eased conditions of the bowels, nota-
bly, in cases Of constipation, its regu-
latipg properties are in the highest
degree serviceabIe. The new settle-
ments in the west and all low lying
tracts of country infested with MAS
matte exhalations, SO fruitful at this
season, of the various types or inter-
mittent fevers, should be always we'll
stocked with this Incompatible CLIO
losue, which will cure any case of fe-
YER and ague in period varying from
three days to three or four weeks, ac-
cording to the violence of the COM
plant. Nervous disorders which are
always aggravated by the adulterated
liqnors usual y prescribed by physi-
clans, are readily cnred by course of
this admirable combination medicine,
in which the properties Of a stimulapt,
a tonic and Alternative are happily
blended. -. y

MAN, AN INFERIOR AN1MAL.-The
discoveries and observations of the
scientific world are gradually, but
surely, bringing man to the conclusion
that he is very inferior kind of
animal after all. AS child he is per-
fect1y helpless, and were it not for the
watchfal eyes of some tender adult, he
would go on killing himself with pois-
onous red berries and stufing solitaire
balls down his idiotic little throat from
generation to generation. When was
an iufantile dog, usually called a
''puppy," ever known to go an eat
anything that wasn't good for him, or
to make donkey of himself standing
at the doors of religious ediicies aud
staring while grown~up young lady
dogs were returning from divine SER
vice. And yet the human puppy
does all these, and much more abund-
antly. Now there are ants-not human
aunts, but the other singing things.
Most sensible insects they are, too.
They always keep on hand a stock of
neuters, whose business it is to look
after the grubs upon the approach of
danger. There are two sets of peuters;
one to care for the more mature, the
other for the feebler larva. Now what
do our human neuters-upproduct
bachelors we mean-do? Do they
look after the babies and train them
up in the way they should go, allow
ing the fathers to go and provide for
the household Not bit of it! They
look after the "grub," sure enough,
and patronize the liquor saloons and
steal all they can lay their hands OH,
and are generally about the most USE
less membranes Of tue human family.
Such are our neuters, and sorry pic
lures of human intelligence they are,
too. Well might Solomon say to the
neuters of this day and generation /:
$50 to the ant, thou sluggard; con-
slider his ways, and be wise."-[ Inter-
Ocean.

Value Of Brood Mares.

A paragraph in the March number
Of this Journal mentioned the fact that
E. Dillon & Co., Of Normal, Illinois,
had sold four colts, the produce of one
brood mare, for $500; aud we now al,
Jude to it for the purpose of stating
that this is not, by any means, an ex-
ceptional case. On The contrary, it
has been demonstrated over and over
again that it is scarcely possible for
The general farmer to keep any kind of
stock OF his farm that will prove SO
uniformly profitable asa good brood
mare. Instances are numerous where
a single brood mare, well ard fashion,
ably bred, and coupled for a series of
years With popular sires, has, by her
produce. made handsome fortune for
her owner, and in almost every neigh
borhood can be found mares whose pro-
duce are uniformly of more than an
average value. The prudent wide.
awake farmer will be on the look out
for such mares, and whenever he can
purchase them at reasonable prices he
will not fail TO do so. Such an invest
ment can not fail to be better than mo-
ney at compound interest, if the mares
be coupled with tile right sort Of stall
lions. Good horses always fine ready
sale at high prices--tl,e scrubs only are
a drug in the malhet-and a colt can
be raised rs cheaply as steer. To
make horse breeding profitable, you
must start right. Horses are not sold
at sosmuch per pound in the market,
like cattle or hogs; it is tue quality
that determines the price, and the quail
ity is thing of Inheritance, derived
from the sire or dam, or from both. If
the foal, when dropped, has not inner
ited those characteristics which give
value 10 a horse, no amount OF AFTER
care and attention can compensate for
the lack of organic quality. 1t costs
no more time or money to raise good
colt than a poor one, excepting per-
haps, in the original investment-the
difference in cost of a good brood mare
and poor one, the service of first
class stallion and q scrub-and herein

CARvING.-Allhouyh it is daily du-
ty for many men and women TO cot up
meat for family, there are mnliituies
who do it neither well nor wise. The
following suggestions on this poiut may
not be out of place, the more especially
to young housekeepers To carve fowls,
which should always be laid with the
breast uppermost, place the fork III the
breast and take off The wings and legs
without turning the fowl then cut out
the merry thought; cut slices from the
breast; cut ont the collar bone; cut of
the side pieces and then cut the carcass
in two. Divide the joints 10 the leg of a
turkey. In carving a sirloin, cnt thin
slices from the side next to yon lit must
be put on The dish the tenderloin uuder-
neath}; then turn it. Help the guests
to both kinds. Iu carving leg of nut
ton or ham, begin by cutting across the
middle to tue bone. Cut a tongue
across, and not lepstbwise, aud help
from the middle. Carve a foreqnarter
oflamb by separating the shoulder from
the ribs, and then divide at the ribs.
To carve loin Of veal, begin at the
smaller end and separate the ibis.
Help each one to piece of kidney and
its fat. Carve pork and mutton in the
same way. To carve a tiIIet of veal,
begin at the top aud help to the stuff
ing with each slice. in breast of
veal, separate the breast and brisket,
and then cut up asking which part is
preferred.-I Exchange.

WHITING Down THEIR Bills.

WHITING Down THEIR BILLs.--At
a late meeting of the Changers in Rus
sell county, it is said that lively and
amusing scene transpired, growing out
of an introduction of a resolution in
favor of purchasing only home made
fabrics for clothing. A gentleman re-
piled, 10 opposing the resolution, that
he favored economy, and for that treason
wanted the whole world as bis market.
He would advise the mover to do as a
friend Of his once did, who brought
home duck and put it with his other
poultry. When feeding time came he
found that the duck, on account of iis
large bill, gobbled up about three times
as much corn as the rest of his fowls.
He at once remedied the difficulty by
taking out bis knife and whiting the
ducks bill down to sharp point.
Nov SIR said tue speaker. "you have
some little ducks daughters at home,
aud if you want to secure economy,
you must white down their bills
And you, worthy Master, have little
duck at sour house. which makes it
necessary that should also ecommend
this process Of whiting down bills to
!yoar notice, as the best means Of secu-
ring economy in family expenditures"
1t is needless to say that this point
ed and practical speech decided the
question, and opened the eyes Of many
parents whose little ducks with their
millinery aud d,ess-making bills, have
.obbled up more money than all the
rest of the family have used during the
past year. We commend this little
speech to the notice of all Changers
who are seeking the quickest and sur
est way to recall rigid economy in
their household MISUNDERSTANDING.
