HORSE HABITS. OF the newspa-
pers are astonished at horses pulling
a plug out of the bunghole Of barrel
for the purpose Of Stacking his thirst.
It's extraordinary. Now, if the horse
had pulled the barrel out of the bung-
hole and Stacked his thirst with the plug
or if the barre had pulled the bunghole
out of the horse and Stacked its thirst
with the plug, or If the barrel had pull
ed the bunghole out of the plug and
Stacked its thirst with the horse, or if
the plug had pulled the horse out of the
barrel and Stacked its thirst with the
bunghole, or if the bunghoIe had pulled
the thirst out of the horse and Stacked
the plug with the barrel, or if the barrel
had pulled the horse out of the bunghole
and plugged its thirst with the slack, it
might DE worth while to make fuss
about it.

WHAT IS GLYCERINE.

This question is often asked, and an
answer would be of much interest to
many, for it is an article that Is much
used and ought to be found III every
household. 1t is a principle which ex-
lists In fats, and fats are a combination
of glycerine. Lard, after the lard oil
has been pressed out, is chiefly COM
pound of stearic acid and glycerine
Where the best candles are manufacture
ed, the compound is broken up and the
stearic acid is used for candles, while
the glycerine is cleansed and put up for
SALE Pure glycerine should be quite
thick and colorless liquid; it has no odor
it's name is from the Greek word, mean
ing sweet, and this term points out one
of it's prominent characteristics sweet
ness. For its underlying qualities it is
very remarkable. If spread out and ex-
for a long time. It Will not mix with
oils, but mixes freely with alcohol and
with water, and has a solvent power for
numerous substances. 1t is much used
in medicine as a solvent for many drugs.
In medicinal preparations it is much
used instead of sugar. We all know of
it's excellent qualities for chapped and
sore hands, face and lips, keeping the
parts from the air, and it is much more
convenient than other oily matters. Di-
luted with water, it makes a good hair
dressing, keeping the hair sweet and
moist and rendering it easily combed.
Glycerine does not freeze nor evaporate.
It is used instead of molasses to mix
with glue, to form the rollers, by which
ink is applied to type. It is exclusively
used in cities to put in gas meters, and
in many other ways. These are only a
few of the many uses to which it can be
put. 1t would be still more generally
used if people only knew the virtue of
this interesting chemical product.

MEASURING BY THE EYE.-Years ago
says correspondent of the Boston
transcript, when we went to school in
a little weather-beaten school-house,
what exciting contests there used to be
over the teachers favorite exercise of
having the scholars estimate with the eye
the size and weight of different objects
in the room He would hold up his
cane, and have each one tell how long he
thought it was, and it was lucky child
that conld come within half foot of the
right length. He would measure an
urchin and then have the scholars try
to produce the measure on the wall.
He would mark an inch or foot or
a yard in some conspicuous place, and
then see how near everybody could come
to chalking the same length upon the
blackboard. And it was astonishing
how wide astray one would go. The
fact is, our eyes deceive us ridiculously
even upon the commonest things.

A LATE st. Louis despatch says that
short time ago beautiful young lady
arrived at the Lindell House in that city
and registered as Miss Ida Hermance.
She engaged the handsomest parlor in
the hotel at $50 per day, together with
the bridal chamber, a circumstance
which created quite sensation among
that large class of people who take an
interest in lonely women. She was mag
nifcently dressed. and wore upon her
person several thousand dollars worth
of diamonds, and she dispensed her
funds among the walters of the hotel as
if she were princess. She published
an advertisement in the daily papers di-
rected E. G. Crippin, stating that lady
at the Lindell Hotel desired to see him.
Crippin heard of the advertisement, went
to the hotel, and found in the lady an
old sweetheart he had known for many
years. The meeting resulted in hasty
marriage, which took place at DR.. Schuy-
ler's church. Crippin is we'll known in
safes. The young lady is said to be the
only daughter of millionaire widow of
California. She ran away from her
mamma about two weeks ago to Crippin.
The romantic episode has created quite
a sensation.

A CORRESPONDENT writes to La Ma
tire: I'm the country where I was last
Summer, one of my friends was trying
his luck at shooting swallows on the
wing. One was struck. In an instant
as many as twenty others surrounded it
and while some extending their wings,
bore their wounded companion along
between them, others flew round and
round the assisting party, uttering plain
tive, sympathetic cries. This curious
spectacle, which was well calculated to
move to pity the author of the barbarity,
lasted several minutes, when the intel
hgent little creatures, pcrceiyiug that
their companion was dead, let him fall
and abandoned him." The writer sug-
gests that it may be by supporting their
weary comrades in the manner describ-
cd above that swallows succeed in max
ing such long journeys, sometimes even
across the ocean.

The HISTORY of CHIMES. QUEUES.
The history of the Chinese queues is
told by the Rev. julius Doolittle, a
missionary in China, as follows: 1.-The
first Emperor OF he present dynasty,
who began to reign in 1914, having
usurped the throne, determined to
make the tonsnre of Manchuria, his IA
tive country, the token of the submits
sion of chinese to his autharity. He
ordered them to shave all the head, ex-
cepting the crown, and allowing the
hair on that part to grow long and dress
it according to the custom of Manchu-
ria. The Chinese had been accustomed,
under native empel ors, to wear long
hair over the whole head, and to arrange
it in a tuft or coil. The change was
gradual, but finally prevailed through
the Empire. At first those who shaved
their heads and conformed to the laws,
received, it is said, present Of tael
of silver, after while only half a tael,
and then only a tenth Of tael, and
afterward only an egg finally even that
was not allowed. The law requiring the
people to shave their heads and braid
the queue was not often rigidly enforced
by the penalty OF immediate death, but
became very manifest that those who
did not conform to the wishes of the
dominant dynasty would never become
successful in lawsuit against those
who did conform, nor would they sue
coed at the literary examinations

dering several miles out of their way,
they at length reached the Machias
River, and decided to follow its course
down to the settlement. AS the In
dams was often seen on the river in Ca
noes, frequented its banks for game,
our travlers kept at safe distance from
the stream. But there was little to fear
| from the red men, and indeed nothing
saved Machias in those stormy days but
the friendliness of the Indians.
After dusk, after crossing the brook and
wading through muddy swamps, they
came to the foot of high hill, and, not
knowing where they were, threw them
selves YEARLY down to rest. There in
in the gathering twilight they heard the
mournful owls hooting, and the distant
barking OF wolves. Atlength Mrs. Wes-
ton, picking up a stout stick for cane,
joyfully discovered the house of Mach
las. Tying her handkerchief to bush,
that she might again find the spot, she
fastened back to Rebecca. But the
tired girl had fallen into heavy sleep,
and it was only after vigorous shaking
that her sister was able to arouse her.
They arrived at s1achias before dark,
completely exhausted, with their clothes
half torn from them, and learned that
the Margaretta had already been cap
tured. However, they were so glad to
hear the good news that they did not
regret what they had done, and though
the ammunition was not needed then,
it proved very useful when the
British afterward attacked the town.
The next day to show that their serv-
ices were appreciated, the committee of
| Safety made the two brave women pres
ent of twelve yards of camlet, worth
about eight dollars; and this was con-
sidered at that time large sum. Two
dresses were made of this cloth, and
fifty years afterward q fragment of her
camlet gown was carefully preserved
by Mrs. Weston, as a memento of her
perilous journey.
A great many years after this, when
Mrs. Weston must have been nearly
eighty years old her son, who is still
living in Jonesboro, went to a lawyer in
Machias(from whose lips had the story,
told him about his mothers adventure,
and asked him to get pension for hel
from the Government. This could not
be done, for the law gave no pensions to
women unless they were soldiars' widows
but surely this heroine of the Revolu
ton deserved pension. She lived tc

was ninety five she carded wool, spun
the yarn, and knit it into pair of stock.
