this was in despair, but he had the
agent repeat the story to hi n a cou-
pie of times, couple OF times to
the boy, and once to himself. When
he had finished, he was so far ex-
hausted as to be unable to sit up.
A fiendish smile stole across the

A BUsHEL of corn is known to have
produced nine pounds of live weight of
poultry. A single kernel has produced
three ears that gave 5000 kernels.
When corn brings but ten cents a
bushel, as has several times been the
case in this and other states, it is cheap
fuel. A single ear has been known to
give quart of shelled corn. A single
grain produced for farmer in Cayuga
county, n. Y, last year, 43I ounces.
The Juice of a single crop has made
many thousand drunkards giving new
Significance to the word 'crooked,"
produced an army of ''squealers, f" and,
Justice does its work, greatly swelled
tie population of many state peniten-
tiaries. In its own natural and innocent
state it gives giant strength to this
great nation, but manipulated by de-
PRAYED man it staggers it. Great is

NOT ANY FOR HIM.

Ills is the season when advertise
ments of refrigerators and ice-chests
spread out in newspaper like q mort
gage on a small corner lot. 1t was
advertising that attracted Nankin man
into Detroit and into Woodward
avenue hardware store yesterday.
When he mentioned the fact that he
would like refrigerator, the proprie-
tor welcomed him with smile, and the
clerks cheerfully barked their shins
against the stoves as they flew around.
'.Will you look at these ice-chests?"
asked the proprietor as they came to a
long row.
"What do want to keep ice in chest
for?" growled the man. "What want
is something to keep provisions cool
and nice in hot weather.
"Weil. here you have it. Here is the
best refrigerator made.
The man opened the doors, looked tho
box over and around, and seemed much
pleased with it. Presently he inquired:
whats the principle of the thing
how does she cool off the provisions"
"You put your ice right in here, shut
the box and away she goes" was the
reply.
''Ice!" gasped the man.
''Why, of course. You can. trun re
frigerator without ice, can you?"
The man turned without word,
walked down stairs and out to his wa
gon, and was getting in when the hard
ware man hurried up and asked:
whats the matter?''
'tDo you think I'm four cornered
fools" howled the Nanken man "Do you
think I'm going to buy that high priced
provision asylum and then keep ice
too?"-Detroit Free Press.

EARLY Cur GRASS BEsr.-The Ger
man papers publish details of series of
experiments carried on at the agricul-
tural schools in that country for the
purpose of testing the nutritive
properties Of grass and hay at
various stages. BY an elaborate
series Of analyses it is shown why young
grass is more nutritious than mature
grass. The physiological experiments
show that it is more easily digestible.
Thus grass 81 inches high contains
nearly so per cert. more of albumenoids
tlan grass which is 6 inches high and
10 more of''crnde fat" The mature
grass contains more woody fiber and
less hesh-forning matter than the young
gass, and, besides this, it Is found
that the nutritious altumenoids exist in
less soluble from in hay than in young
grass. Hence the difference of nutritiye
value and digestibilisy. Autumnal
hay was found 10 be more nutritious
than summer hay.

prisingly natural so much SO that it has
a natural effect upon the spectators.
Young girls come suddenly upon it and
draw back appalled,. They have nerved
themselves to look at the statuary and
pictures, but this sight is too unexpect-
ed and realistic to be borne with steadl-
ness. They escape without delay. Wo-
men inspect the group shyly. Men are
not to be scared away by any feeling of
modesty, and, unless escorting sisters
or sweet-hearts, stay on the spot in
numbers sufficiently to constantly crowd
that part of the corridor. I am aware
that such wax-works, and worse, are
common in European museums that
artistically they are to be commended as
triumphs of skill, being totally unlike
the efigies usually shown in this coun-
try but don't think they ought to be
thrust unwarningly upon the sight OF
mixed congregations.
seek Mr.. Sartian, and ask him why
the fourteen rooms set apart for France
are not open. He says he does not know,
unless the French Commissioners are
waiting for more pictures to arr1ye.-

ment that nudeness will be the striking
feature of the display. I am permitted
to turn several of the frames so as to see
what they hold The first trial disclos-
es life-size picture of an utterly naked
woman. The subject is not classical.
She is a French woman of the present
time. Of course I can't know that by
her anatomy, for nature fellows no
change of fashion in molding human
forms nor by clothing, for there isn't
a vestige of any but by the fact that
her hair is arranged i'll one of the elab-
orote styles of the present. The catal-
ogue simply tells me she is A Woman,
and there could be no mistake about
that Another turn in a frame shows
me a recumbent woman-the other is
erect and third reveals one who has
stripped herself to the waist to pray, as
pugilist would for fight. If Americans
desire to learn the lesson to which have
alluded, they may make rapid progress
after the French department is opened.

SELF-IMFROVEMENT.

There are many young workingmen
who are anxious to improve their minds
by reading and study ont of business
hours. But too many grow discouraged
and fail in their efforts for self improve
ment. although they begin with the
| best intentions.
A want of thoroughness in whatever is
undertaken is, perhaps, one great cause
of such failures. A practical writer on
that topic gives the following good di-
rection: ssNever leave what you under
take to learn until you can reach around
it, and clench your hands ON the other
side" 1t is not the amount of reading
you run over that Will ever make you
learned: it is the amount you retain.
DR.. Abernethy maintained that "there
was a point of saturation in his mind,
beyond which it was not capable of talk
ing in more. Whatever was pressed
upon it afterwards crowded out some
thing else. It is probable that few of
us have minds more sponge-like than
the great doctor.
Every young man should endeavor to
perfect himself in the science of the
business he has chosen. Without this
he must always content himself in the
lower walks of his calling. The cost of
few cigars will buy all the books he re-
quires, and his own diligence may be
made to we'll supply the place of a tutor.
Without such diligence, the best teach
er in the world could not manu- acture
him into a scholar. If once going over
a point will not master it, he must tackle
it again. Better give weeks study to
page than conclude that you cannot
comprehend it.
But though it IS wise to give your
main strength to your own speciality
you should not confne yourself to such
studies exclusively. The perfection of
all your powers should be your aspira-
ton. Those who can only think or talk
on one subject may be efficient in their
line; but they are not agreeable mem
bers of society in any of it's depart
ments. Neither have they made the
most of themselves. They become one
sided and narrow in their views, and are
reduced to humilating dependence on
one branch of industry 1t costs moth
ing to carry knowledge; and in times
like these, to be able to put his hand to
more than one branch of industry often
serves a man good turn.
Do not attempt too much in the way
of study to begin with; you will surely
lose heart if you do. Be humble and
modest in your aspirations, and if you
are diligent never fear but that you will
hear voice saying: fCome up higher"
Be content to gather the precious gold
of learning grain by grain; you will soon
be able to see the pile growing, and will
learn from il the wonderful power of the
Titles, which is felt and shown in men
tai as well as in golden gains.

THE LIBERTY CAP,

When slave was manumitted by the
Romans, small red cloth cap, called
pileus, was placed on his head. So
soon as this was don he was freedman
(tibertinus), and his name duly regis
tered. When Saturnius took the cup
ital, in the year 263, he hoisted cap on
the top of his spear to Indicate that all
slaves who joined him should be free.
Marius employed the same symbol when
melting the slaves to take up arms
against Sylla, and when Caesar was
murdered, the conspiratous marched
forth in body, with a cap elevated on
a spear, as a token of liberty. The
Goddess of Liberty in the Aventine
Mount was represented as holding in
her hand cap, the symbol of freedom.
In France the Jacobins wore a red cap
(6o'a'aet rouge, but in England the cap
of blue, with a white border, is the
symbol of liberty, aud Britannia is
sometimes represented as holding such
a cap on the point of her spear. The
American ''cap of liberty" is also of
blue, with white band or border or
the bottom, upon which thirteen stars
are placed, aud has been adapted from
the British. There is no absolute or
positive regulation in regard to this cap,
beyond its shape and color, so far as
America is concerned. 1t is in shape of
an old-fashoned night-cap or truncated
cone,

THE Denver News tells a singular
story about rats on the summit of Pixies
Peak. 1t says, on the authority of the
pueblo Chiftain, that they have increased
to such numbers as to become formid-
able and dangerous. They are known
to feed upon saccharine gum that
percolates through the pores of the
rocks, apparently upheaved by some
ment of the government signal station
on the summit of the Peak, at an alti-
tude of nearly $1,000 feet, these animals
have acquired yoracious appetite for
raw and uncoolzed meat, the scent O
which SENS to impart to them ferocity
rivaling the ferceness of the starved
Siberian wolf. Recently a quarter of
beef was carried to the station and soon
seeming it, the rats in the night attacted
and devoured it. This was only enough,
however, to sharpen their appetites, and
they made their way into room where
the wife and infant child of the telegraph
operator were sleeping. The woman
was aroused by the attack and escaped
to the operating room, where desperate
battle between the husband and rats
took place, ending in the latter being
driven off, after severely lacerating
their antagonist. The young child had
been left in bed closely covered when
the mother fled the room, but the vo-
racious rats had found it and literally
eaten it up, leaving nothing but the
naked skull

Centaur
Linim e nts.

So nearly perfect the recipes of these vonderul
pain soothing and healing Centsur Liniments that
confidently say they will alleriate any pain
arising from flesh, bone Or muscle arrangements
We do prcteLd that they will mend a broken leg
e.ermiaate bois, but in such they will
reduce the inflammation and stop the pain. Nor can
guarantee the proper results where the body is
poisoned by 1chiyhey. Temperance is necessary to
a proper physical, mental condition.
THE WHITE CENTAUR LININENT is particularly
adapted to all of Rhasmatism Lum5ago, Men,
ralga, Eryspeias, Itch. .Spratns, ChiIbIans, Cuts
Bruises, Stnes Poisons, Scalds Sciatica Weak Back
Pains in TIE side, Wounds. Weeping Sinews. Burns
Frosted Feet Palsy Ear ache, Tooth ache, Head ache
Ulcers Old Sores Broken Breasts Sore Nipples Sore
Threat Group, Dipthcria,, etc. The most of these
complaints the Centaur Eminent will cure; all of
them it will benefit. 1t will eTtrt,c Tie poison from
bites and stngs and will cure burns and Scalds with
out scar. The following is but sample of thoas.
and similar testimonials:

1t is an undispuable fact that the Contaur Lin-

any preparation in exstence,-like Chronic Rheuma-
tism of thirty gears standing Strengthening fingers
and joints which had been six years, taking
the soreness from burns, &c.
One dollar, fifty cents, invested III Cer taur
Imminent will be within reach aphen accident
cars, and will do more good than any amount of
money paid for medical attendance. When physic-
ians called they frequently use this Liniment
and of course charge several prices for it.
The Yellow Centaur Liniment
is adapted the tough skin, muscles and flesh Of the
animal creation. Its effects upon cases of
SPAWN Sweeny Windmill, Big Head and Poll Evil,
are little less than marvellous.
Messrs. j. Mcclure & Co. Druggists, corner Elm
and Front Streets, Cincinnati, O., say:
SIN our neighborhood number of Transfers are
using the Centaur Liniment. They pronounce it SUI
peror to anything they have ever used. We sell as
high four to five dozen bottles per month to own
of horses and mules
We have volumes of testimonials describing cures
of Sprains, Kicks, Calls, Poll-Evil, Big Head and
even Founders, which little less than marves.
No owner OF an animal afford to be without a
bottle of Centaur Liniment, which any day may
prove worth twenty times its cost.
