How 10 Euy "A Horse.
An old hoiseman speaking Of this subject,

An old holseman speaking Of this subject,
says: ras
If You want to buy a horse, don't believe
| your own b.osher. Take ne mans word for
it. Your eve is yoar market- Don't buy a
, hose in harpess. Uohitch him and every
thing OF but the halter and lead him alouod.
IL he has a corn, or Is sill. or has any other
falling, you can see IL. Let him 90 by him
self lille ways, and IL he slaves right into
anything you may know he's stone blind.
No matter how clear aud bright his eyes are,
he cant see any more than bal. Back him
up, TOO. Some horses show their weakne. 3
or tricks thai may when they don't iu any
othe..
But, be as smart as you can, and you'll get
caught sometime. Even al experts gets
stuck. A hpise may look nice and 60 ini,e
minute, aud yet have fits, for Instance.
There isn't live man who codld tell 1t till
something happens. oe he may have weak
back. Give him the whip and of he goes
for mile or two; then, all Of q sudden, he
sits down in the road. Aftcr rest he gets
up aud Stats again, but he soon sits down
asaia and nothing but derrick could raise
him. st.s .tF
do you know what a dummy is? You
don'ta Well, Ill tell you. He's horse
that don't know anything. His brain has
gone wrong. A dark stall and cycr-feeding
have ruined bis diges.ioo, and that has af-
fected his brain, Drive him out ways, and
pretty soon he will jerk his head around and
pull 81 aiebt on one line. You can't hold
bim. It's house 70 LIZ, The first thing you
know he has dumped you ipto, ditch or
smashed you up against lamp post. Tie
him In = stable and he'll back up till he
breaks every halter you put on him Slreichl,
: rope across lbe top Of the stall % he can't
beck out, and he'll climb up the wall.

w hen o Eat.

Felix L. Oswald Is contributing to the Pop
ular Scieace Monthly series OF very inter-
esting articles on diet, in which he furnishes
some pretty strong arguments against many
| Of the very generally received opinions that
have heretofore been entertained in regard
ID this most important subject, by even the
the most advanced Of the medical profession.
From the last issue we clip the following: q
"Never eat until you have leisure to digest
for digestion requires leisure: we cannot as
simulate our food while the func tlonal ener-
gy Of our system is engrossed by other oceu-
pations. After hearty feed animals retire
to aquiet hiding place; aud the afser-dinner

should admonish us to initiate u eir exam

NOES digestion is mischievous fallacy;
Jules Virey settled that question by cruel
but conclusive experiment. He selected two
ours Of the same size, age and general phys
ique, made them keep fast day and treated
them the next day to square

ton, but, as soon as one ofathem had eaten
his fill, he made the other stop too, to make
sure that they had both consumed the same
quantity. Dog No. was then confined in
q comfortable kennel, while No. had to
run AFTER the doctors coach, not ct breath
less raie Of speed, bat at fair, brisk trot for
two hours and half. As soon as they got
home, the coach dog and bis comrade were
slain and dissected; the kennel dog bad COM
pletely digested his meal, while she chips and
cubes in the coach dogs stomach had not
changed their form at all; the process OF as

1900 Miles Across Mountains and Pl.,ns bv
Pony xpresA.

In 1859 St. Joseph was the western termi
nns OF railroad communication. Beyond.tbt
stage coach, the saddle-boase and the OK.
teams were the only means of commerce and
communication with the Rocky Mounta rms
and the Pacific Slope. In the winter of 1880
! there was Wall Street lobby at Washington
trying to get 5000, 600 for carrying the mail
overland one year between New York and
San Francisco. The proposition was extreme
~ cheeky, and William ii. Russell, backed
oy Secretary OF War Floyd, resolved to give
tne lobby cold shower bath. He therefore
offered to bet $z00.0G0 that he ea,ala pa. a
mail iine on from Sacramento 10 ST. Joseph
that should make the distance-1950 miles
IN 10 days. The bet was taken and.the stb
OF April fixed upon as the day for starting.
Mr.. Russell called upon his partner and gen.
era' mana@er Of busines upon the plains, Mr..
A. b. Miller, DOW citizen of Denyec, aud
stated what he and dooe, ard asked if he
Ieouid perform the feat. Mr.. Miller replied
Yes, sir; will do 1t and do 1t by a pony
express" To accomplish this Mr.. Miller
purchased 800 of the feetest borses he could
find in the west and employed 125 men-sO
OF whom were to be post riders. These lie
selected with reference to their light weight
and their known daring and courage. 1t was
very essential that the horses should be lead
Cd as light as possible; therefore the lighter
he better. 1t was necessary that some Dor
kons OF tbe route should be iun at the rate of
~ miles ali bour. The hoses were station
ed rom 10 to ~ miles apart, and each rider
would be required 10 ride 90 miles. For the |
change of animals and the shifting of the |
mails two minutes were allowed. Where |
there Were no stages sta ions at proper dis |
iances, tents sudicieDt 10 bold one man and
two horses were provided. Indians would |
sometimes give chase, but their cayuse DO
MES made but sorry show in their ssern chase
after Miller's thoroughbreds, many of which
could make single mile in minute and
fifty seconds.

The Congregational Church sociable

pleasant affair. There were over a
hundred persons present, and every
thing passed off in an enjoyable way
The early part of the evening was
spent in social chit chat, games, etc. !,
and at $3.50 o'clock supper was an
nounced. There were two tables-one
set IN ancient, and one in modern
style. The ancient one was adorned
with old fashioned blue ware and il
Illuminated by tallow candles. Upon
this table were two beautiful candlea-
BRUINS, one belonging to Mrs. r. Hin
man and the other to'Mrs. John Costly.
Among the eatables might be men,.

and other things characteristic of olden
times. The walters of this table,
Misses Jennie Hawn and Zira Hudson,
and Messrs. Chas. Loomis and G.
NOrthrup, were attired as became the
people years ago. The modern table
was set with all that charaoterizes
modern life. Oysters, pie, cake, etc.,
were served. The receipts amounted
to $21 40, which is to be applied to the
purchase of a carpet for the church.
