A Thrilling Escape.

A Thomaston man was crossing
the railroad track in that town, the
other day, when his foot became
fastened in frog" Every effort
to release himself was unavailing,
and to add to the unpleasantness Of
the situation he knew it to be very
near time for the train. In vain he
struggled-the foot stuck fast. The
cold drops of sweat stood out in pro-
fusion, and his soul turned sick with
fear, as far away he heard the omin-
GUS whistle of the fast approaching
engine. He shrieked aloud for help,
and tore at the death trap with fear
full frenzy. Nearer and nearer rush
ed the awful mass, the ground trem-
bling and quaking beneath its weight.
On--on it came, while the sickening
fear of death made the mans heart
still. Nearer-nearer came the mes
senger removing of death, and with
diabolical Shrek
Went past. And then the Thorn
aston man thought what fool he
was not to remember that he was on
a side track that hadn't been used
for sixteen years. He pulled his
foot cut of the boot, removed that ar
ticle from its position, put it on the
end of a club, and kicked himself all
the way home.-Rockland Courier.

Warts on Horses.
Farm Journal, England

Inquiries are made for a cure
for warts Of different kinds on
horses, mules and cattle. Many
remedies are overwhelmingly
bacbarous and cruel to the animal.
l will give you a remedy often
tried and never known to fail.
Anoint the wart three times with
clean, fresh hogs lard, about two
days between times. / have had
warts on my horses-bFeeding
warts Of large size. rafting warts
and seed warts, to the number of
more than one hundred on one
horses head. I have never been
able to find the warts for the
third application Of the lard. All
disappear after the second appii.
cation. l have sent this prcscrip'
ton to several agricultural papers
hoping that it would be of some
use to farmers. But they all
seem slow to believe, perhaps be
cause the remedy is at hand and
costs nothing. l own | was slow
to believe myself, but, having 8
6ne young mare with large bleed
ing warts, that covered parts 0.
the bride and girths with blooo
whenever used, | thought there
would be no harm in trying larl
on them. When the mare wa!
got up for the third application
there were no warts, and thu
scars are there now, after more
than fifteei years, with very little
change. l may say that Tor cuts

or beasts worth more than an,

not irritate raw flesh, as al

Counting in the Azores is not
so impulsive as it is in this coun-
try. The young man stands in
the middle of the street and con.
verses with his girl, who leans
over the railing of the balcony.
The young gentleman is not adj
mitted to the house until about to
be engaged to the young lady,
and then he sees her only in the
presence of other members of the
family. This method Of c~ourtship
is a great saving of gas and fuel
to the old folks, and as long as
the yong man stands in the middle
Of the street to do his counting,
the old man can't bounce him out
Of the front door, and her little
brother can't come into the parlor
and smear his best pants with
molasses candy. But this mode
Of making love has its drawbacks
as we'll as its advantages, and it
is not necessary to point them out
to the young man who has had
experience in the business. This
will occur to him Immediately.
