4 Fatal Resemblance.

Instances of mistaken identity have not
been by any means rare but it is doubtful
if one more notable than the following
ever occurred. In drugstore not far
from q courthouse in Missouri, was
clerk named D., and at a prominent
hotel not far away the book-keeper bore
had never met, nor was either even aware
of the others existence. They were the
sons of brothers who had been separated
by thousands of miles since their boyhood.
DR.. H, prominent physician of the
city, boarded at the hotel indicated and
traded at the drug store. He knew both
men intimately, yet their resemblance was
so great that he had always considered
them as one. AS he explained, after the
catastrophe related below, he had thought
the drug clerk was merely keeping the
books of the hotel for his board, an ar
rangement by no means uncommon at that
time. One day the drug clerk was sent to
the physician with q bill for bottle of
wine which had been charged to him, but
the latter said he had paid for it, and sent
the bill back. The same day he had also
purchased bottle of wine at the hotel
y lew hours dllelWuruS lie met Tue pro-
prietor and spoke little petulantly to
him about sending bill for bottle of
wine which he had already paid for. The
landlord was little surprised and sent
for the book-keeper to explain what it
meant. The latter on being Intercepted
denied positively having ever presented
any such bill. The physician became fur
ious at what he considered such an impud-
ent charged the young man with having in
tended to defraud him of the price of the
wine, and, when detected, with trying to
lie himself out of it. The landlord took
the same view of the case, and the result,
after much alteration, was that the book
keeper was discharged in disgrace. He
shortly afterwards walked into the bar
room of the hotel, and going behind the
counter took a large drink of brandy, and,
seeing revolver lying on the shelf, seized
it, and putting the muzzle to his breast,
pulled the trigger and fired a ball directly
through his heart. He fell on the floor
and instantly expired, with out having
uttered word. 1t was only on seeing
the drug clerk still alive that the physician
realized the terrible mistake he had made,
The matter preyed so on his mind that he
left the city and never returned.

How to Imnroye Stock.

AS the season of the year is close at
hand when the farmer makes his selections
of stock to sell and keep, it is proper that
we should stop and consider how we shall
make the selection to our best advantage.
In hogs and cattle it matters not what our
stock is, we always have some inferior
ones, aud it will pay to keep the best and
sell the poorest. do not wish, however,
to be understood as recommending putting
half-tattened, unsuitable stock on the
market. | advise all to sort out the in
ferior ones and give them extra attention
and feed; get them into good condition,
and then sell them off. Save for yourself
nothing but the best, and you will soon
see great change in your stock. Also
expend few dollars for pure blooded or
high graded stock, and in few years you
will get back your money with hundred
per cent. added. You will also discover
that it does not cost any more to raise
three-y ear-old steer that will weigh 1,4OO
to 1000 pounds than it will scrub that
will weigh from 700 to 1000 pounds, and
the same holds equally good with hogs
l have some at year old that will weigh
three hundred pounds or over, and Others
of the same age that will weigh only about
half as much, and all have the same feed
and the same chance Blood will show;
feed does not not do it all.-C0r. C0unt,Y

AMimnlS' nngth of Life.

The average age of sheep does not much
exceed ten years; to that period they will
usually live, breed and thrive tolerably
well. But there are instances of much
more protracted age. Particular sheep
are stated to live nearly twenty years
those which the mountain shepherds call
"guide Sheep" old wethers which are
kept on purpose to direct the bleating
flock in the unirequented wilds.
Cows have an average age of about
fifteen years. Rings on The horns tell the
number of their days. AT four years old
a ring is formed at their roots and every
succeeding year another is added.
Thus, by allowing three years before
their appearance, and counting the num-
Der of rings, the age of the animal is
known. 1t is well for certain members of
the human race losing their bloom, who
are somewhat sensitive upon the question
of age, that there are no definite appear
ances added with annual precision to their
cheeks.
Pigs have been known to live through
thirty years. but the average is much less.
