One of the chief compcnsations OF a
woman's lot is found in the fact that she
docs not have "to go a counting. 1t
must be confessed that, in these days,
the modern belle does her share of the
wooing, but she does not have to dress
up in stiff collar, and pair OF boots
two sizes too small for her, and walk up
10 the lannon's mouth OF her inamorata's
family, consisting of father and moth
er. and grandmother, and maiden aunt,
and half q dozen brothers and sisters,
and inquire in trembling voice; us

Whenever a man goes counting ev-
erybody seems to know all about It.
His demeanor tells the observant spec
tator the business be is intent upon.
He might just as well placard himself
with the legend, al go counting" Ev-
cry body Is cognizant of it, and looks
knowingly, and ask him If the
"northern lights were out about one
O'clock" and show the market is for
kerosene up at Daddy Browns" and a
score of other question equally out OF
place.
We have in our family at present a
young man who is deeply, we trust sue
cessfully, engaged in going counting;
and our warmest sympathies have been
aroused for him. When Sunday after
noon arrives it is plain to see that some
thing is about to happen. Our young
man is fidgety and non-communicatlve
aud cannot sit in one place half min
ute at lime. He is continually inter
viewing his watch and comparing IT
with the old eighl-day coifin-shaped
clock in the corner. lie looks in the
glass frequently, and draws bis fore
head locks back and then forward, and
combs them up and pats them down,
and is unsatifed with the effect through
out.
The smell OF bay rum and bergamont
is painfully apparent. When he shakes
out his handkerchief musk is perceptlble.
His boots shine like mirrors. There Is
"a faint odor of carjamon seed IN his
breath when he yawns. He snooths
his budding mustache with affectionate
little pats, and feels his invisible side
whiskers continually, to make sure they
are still there, a fact which is not estab-
lished TO outside observers by the sense
Of sight He tries on all his stock OF
necktes without finding just the thing;
and he has spasms Of brushing his coat,
that commences with violence, and lasts

cloth will never be able TO stand II.

uiscous in gel,es Of fac Mound Builders.

Z Last week a party OF scientific explor'
ers made some very interesting dIscov-
cries in the neighborhood of Milton,
Wisconsin. There are there number
of mounds which recent archaeological
investigation has referred to that mys-
terious race which inhabited the central
portion of North America long before
tho present aboriginies obtained
a foothold here. After selecting a
mound they dug trench from
lis outer edge to the centre, thirty feet
long, five feet wide and at the centre
attaining a depth of ten feet. About
a foot from the bottom, at the deepest
part of the excavation, layer OF ash
es and deoayed wood was layed bare.
A few inches below this was hard de-
post resembling mortar, and beneath
were found the remains of four adults
and two children. That they belonged
to the race of mound builders Is Inferred
from the fact that there had previously
been exumed, only eighteen inches be-
low the surface, complete Indian skel-
eton.
The other, and vastly more important
relics, were eigh: and half feet lower
down. The first of these the skeleton
of a man, lay with the head to the west
in reclining position. At the knees,
near each hand, were two ornaments,
composed of the teeth of some wild an
imal, about four inches long, and having
holes bored through for The string
which attached them to the wrists.
Close by was the skull, but SO badly de-
cayed as to prevent removal. A little
10 the south Of the skull were four per-
feet flint arrow heads, as clearly cut as II
the work had been done by the best
modern machinery. Lying around and
under the shoulders were twenty-nlne
beads, manufactured from small shells,
and perforated SO as 20 be worn as u
necklace. Evidently this was the skel-
cton of some famous parsonage, tor
among the bones of the five others no
ornaments whatever were found. The
chiefs companions were arranged about
him TO the west, north west and east.
In the jaw bone of one was partly de-
velopcd wisdom tooth, and most Of the
jaw bones and teeth were in good pre-
servation.-St. Louis Republican, Octo-
Der 20.

Where a Driver Shoald SIT.

The Scientific Farmer has the following
on this subject: One of the anomalies in
American customs is that of the driver
of a wagonsit on the righthand-side,
while he always turns out TO the right
when passing another team. Ii matters
not whether be is on the broad, safe
tboroughfare, or on narrow lane, or
crowded city streets, his seat is the same.
Thus seated, tits very difficult 10 see the
exposed wheels in passing, those which
REQUIRE the eye of tho driver. Doubt
less this Is a prominent cause OF the
many collisions between passing teams,
and the wonder is that moro do not hap
pen. The custom was brought over by
the Pilgrims, but, like Dutch sentence,
the parts to be the transposed In the
translation. Across the pond the driver
sits on the right, but always turns 10 the
left. In copying the practice we retain
cd the useless part, and changed the
essential, for some unexplained reason.
Possibly our fathers thought 10 be con-
sistent in matter and rather than be
right.handed IN sitting while lief, hand
cd in the driving, changed the latter 20
suit. At all events, the thing as now
practiced is every way announcement,
and is a worthy subject of reform in this
wear when reforms are so much IN favor.
And since it is easier 10 change our posi-
ton on the scat than alter the custom of
farming 10 the right, let US henceior;h
hand OR friends up TO tie right side OF
the wagon, while We rs driver take the
opposite side.

Railway Travelling Conpar.ops.

The Paris Figaro has raised a curious
discussion upon the question of the
proper conduct of persons in railway
carriage under the following conditions ::
One person demands fresh air and
wants the window open; another can
not endure the Withdrawing bronchitis,
perhaps, asks to have the window
closed. The partlsans of fresh air are
generally belligerent, and say they Will
break the glass, paying for it at the end
Of the journey rather than not have air.
This means is occasionally employed.
BIT 1t is one tull of danger, TO say the
least. One day, a few years ago, an
aged gentleman was sitting IN "a first
class carriage, when two young officers
entered and began TO smoke. The old
gentleman let down the window; one OF
the officers pat it up. This operation
was repeated, when the gentleman broke
the glass with his elbow. The two of
ficcrs, who were on their way 10 join
their regiment at Versailles, took this
as an insult, and cards were exchanged.
They took very different view Of the
matter when they read upon the aged
gcntleman's card "Marshal Neil Minis
ter of War" One never knows exactly
who his travelling companions are, and
circumspection is always prudent, to say
the least. We have never yet seen q
case where the question was not arrang-
ed a Pamiable between the different
travellers, but in case Of dispute we
should say on general principles, that
the person who wants air should take
the corner seat fronting the locomotive,
leaving the other persons the seat oppo-
site, where he is protected IN q measure
from the winds that he fears, from one
motive or another. With a majority of
well-bred people the difficulty is easily
gotten over, but there are some persons,
commercial travellers, and coc!Ineys IN
general, who demand fresh air in mid
winter through bravado, or through q
pretentious desire to show that they are
different from other people. But one
may safely say that such disputes could
occur but rarely among people of rank
and good breeding.

When Chicago girl received q dis
patch from Wisconsin announcing that
her lover was going off with consump-
ton, she te!egraphed to his friend :"Has

Cash or Credit.

The Order of Patrons of Husbandry
have adopted the motto of "pay as you
90" as the rule and guide of their finan-
cial transactions. This rule, hitherto
more honored in the breach than the OBJ
servance, must be lived up to, if we
would reap the full benefits of our Ia
Dor.
1t is the usual custom Of unthinking
minds TO decry the merchant for oner-
Gus charges, when his wares are pur-
chased without cash or its equivalent.
Too many arc prone to consider that an
unfair advantage is taken of their neces-
sites, and, while living upon the credits
obtained OF the seller, the bayer de-
nounces him without stint or reason.
Let US "put ourselves in his place.
How many Of US farmers would be will
ing to sell our stock or crops at cash
valuation and wait one or more years
for our pay, assuming all risks ofinabil-
ity, failures and traudsy How many OF
US would be seven with the world" in
ten years, if we pursued this policy
The undoubted fact that only about one
merchant in ten proves successful one,
shows conclueively that too great risks
are taken al too small compensation.
The merchant is not in fauit-in fact, he
is too lenient-onIy the buyer has him
self to blame for the enormous per cent.
that credit or demands.
But each year brings US nearer to
cash basis. The old time credit system,
abolished in theory, will become extinct
IN reality before long.
The Order of Patrons of Husbandry
has so decrecd, and none can be found
to bolster mp this expensive Telict of the
past. Of the Soil.
