The Value Of q Trade

The old story of uncertainty of riches
and the importance of learning trade
is brought to mind by the following,
which appeared in a recent number OF
the New York Ledger: Karl Frostern,
the old nailmaker of Luben, in Silesia,
was jolly, storytelling man, who sang
at his work, and whose busy hammer
made merry music.
Not far away lived Herr Won Koben,
wealthy land owner, whose only son,
when not at school, was wont to come
to the nailer's, where he would sit by
the hour and watch the bright sparks as
they flew in showers from the ringing
anvil.
"Come, Master Conrad" said the
mailer, one day, in a jolly mood, "why
not set the world an example? Show
them that the son of rich man can
learn a trade. Who knows but that it
may profit you one of these days?'
The youth fell in with the humor Of
the thing; and pulling off his fine
jacket, he donned leathern apron,
and went to the anvil. He was bright,
quick lad, and, when he had once at
tempted to make nail, he had a pride
to make it we'll; and so it came to pass
that ere long he could make shoe nails
as deity and as well as could old Kari.
Il Time passed on, and Herr Won Koben
| died, leaving his great wealth to his
son Conrad. A few years thereafter
the armies of Frederick came sweeping
through Silesia, and Conrad's inherit
ance was lost. In poverty he wander
ed away towards the mountains OF Bo
, hemia, until he came to town where
host of shoemakers were at . stane
, for want of nails. sHere," though
Conrad ssis my opportunity. Let us set

: And he told the shoemakers if they

: would make nails for them. They fur

went at the work in earnest. He mad
better nails than had ever before beel

The report of the Sanitary Commit
tee of the Board of Health upon sun
stroke says: Sunstroke is caused by
excessive heat, and especially if the
weather is " muggy." 1t is more apt
to occur on the second, third, or fourth
day of a heated term than on the first.
Loss of sleep, worry, excitement, close
sleeping-rooms, debility, and abuse of
stimulants predispose. tits much more
apt to attack those working in the sun,
and especially between the hours of II
o'clock in the morning and O'Clock in
the afternoon. On hot days wear thin
clothing. Have as cool sleeping-rooms
as possible. Avoid loss of sleep and all
unnecessary fatigue. If working In
doors and where there is artificial heat,
see that the room is well ventilated. If
working in the sun, wear a light hat
(not black, as it absorbs heat), and put
inside OF it on the head q wet cloth or q
large green leaf; frequently lift the hat
from the head and see that the cloth is
wet. Do not check perspiration, but
drink what water yeu need to keep it
up, as perspiration prevents the body
from being overheated. Have, wherever
possible, an additional shade, as q thin
umbrella, when walking, canvas or
board cover when working in the sun.
When much fatigued, do not 60 to work,
or be excused from work, especially af-
ter II o'clock in the morning, on very
hot days, especially if the work is in the
sun. If feeling Of fatigue, dizziness,
headache or exhaustion occurs, cease
work Immediately, lie down in shady
or cool place, apply cold cloths to and
pour cold water over head and neck.
If any one is overcome by the heat, give
the person cool drinks of water or cold
black tea or cold coffee, if able to swal-
low. If the skin is hot and dry, sponge
| with or pour cold water over the body
and limbs, and apply to the head pound.
ed ice wrapped in towel or other cloth.
II there is no ice at hand, keep q cold
cloth on the head, and pour cold water
on it as well rs on the body. If the per-
son is pale, faint, and pulse feeble, lei
him inhale ammonia for a few seconds,
or give him teaspoonful of aromatic
spirits of ammonia (hartshorn) in two
tablespoonfuls of water with a little
sugar.-N. 2. Sun.

Goldsmith Maids Greatest Feat.

On Friday afternoon about 1000 per-
sons were present at Belmont Park to
witness double team race and an eff
fort of Goldsmith's Maid to exceed her
best previous time. The teams were
first called to the score. This race was
for purse of $4OO-$2OO to first, $50
to second, and $50 to third. The fol-
lowing teams started: S. m. Lady Pat
terson and b. m. Lady Jane; br. m.
Kitty Clay and blk. 6. Gypsy; br. g..
Essex and bay mare; br. m. Matte
Lyle and b. e. Palmer. The first heat
was won by Matte Lyle and mate with
ease. The second heat was closely
contested by Matte Lyle and mate and
Kitty Clay and mate, but was won by
the former by half q length. The
same team won the third heat with the
same ease as the first. Time, 2:41A,
1854, 2:34. At . quarter past 4 Gold
smith Maid, accompanied by running
mate, got the word for the first heat.
She started well, and during the mile
made but two skips, and with but ap-
parently little effort made the first mile
in 2:174. The second heat was . beau
tiful one. From the word Ego" it was
evident that the mare would strain every
nerve to retain her old prestige, and i
possible gain new laurels. She made
the first half mile in 1861 without q
break, and on the home stretch she
skipped but once. She came under the
wire in 2 IA, amid the plaudits Of the
multitude. The third heat was trotted
without an effort to beat the second,
making it in 2:174.-Philadelphia LED.

from all sections justifes this statement
to the utmost extent.
"Through" Texas cattle bring low.
er price than others, and in view of this
discrimination against Southern cattle
very many have engaged in purchasing
them in the fall and herding them in
this northern climate, on the buffalo
and gramma grasses one year, and then
marketing them as Colorado Texas cat
tie, when they bring much higher
price per cwt., and weigh from 800 to
400 pounds more, which proves to be q
very lucrative business. Again, the Gulf
States, with their rich, black-mold soil,
yielding large crops of cereals and fruits,
are destined to be converted in agricul-
tural uses. The extension of crop-rais-
ing agricultural settlements has already
seriously deranged the condition Of
cheap production of cattle, by raising
the value Of land and by restricting the
range of free pasture. The pressure OF
population and the rise in the value Of
land will soon demand greater economy
of resources; widespread pastures viii
be restricted by farming Enclosures
hence the decline in the stock-growing
business in that section has set in, and
the ability to produce cheap beef
will be of short duration. On
the other hand, but very little, il
any, of this Northern buffalo grass re-
gion is arableland it is generally . drift

Mr.. and Mrs. Greutzer, of Center
vile, Iowa, were walking near that city
one day last week, when they were ac-
costed by a villainous looking rascal,
who presented q revolver at Mr.. Circuit
ger and ordered him to ''git." Mr.. G.,
being of an accommodating disposition,
gat with the greatest alacrity, and then
Mrs. Greutzer, finding herself deserted,
went for the man with the revolver !;
took his artillery away from him, bit
off the end Of his nose, stuck her thumb
into his eye and crooked it, and finally,
twining her hands in his hair, warped
him around q sapling until he ached
and smarted for twelve feet in every di-
rection. He would never have got away
in the world but the woman, getting a
little excited and warmed up to her
work, let GO to spit on her hands and
get a fresh hold. It is getting SO that
it isn't safe for tramp to tackle an
Iowa man when the mans wife is along.
THE latest Partisan swindle is clever.
A well dressed woman called on q
prominent. mental physician and i'm
plored his aid in curing her son, who
was laboring under the delusion that
some one owed him $4,000 francs fol-
diamonds which he had sold. "Brine
him here in an hour, and I will see him
alone" said the doctor. The woman
went at once to one of the best jewel
lers and choosing $4,000 francs worth
of diamonds, asked the proprietor te
send his assistant with themt to DR.. j.
