Advice tn a Row.

There, Bub, quit kicking the table
leg, brush back your han, and take that
sea- by the window while I give you q
little advice. You wish to become ia
nous and to be Known as Billy the Ter
ror of Kenosha, or The Boy Avenger.
Now this Is not practicable outside of
books. To be sur you have read of boys
becoming bloodthirsty Williams, in velvet
pants and top boots, in a m~arvelously
short time, but as a rule the boys who
start out to duplicate those yellow Gov
cred fellows, bring up in some isolated
jail and instead of velvet pants they are
adorned in real life with ragged overalls
with the vitals worn out sitting around
in lonely places waiting for the beautiful
maiden to come and fall in love with
them as they do in the book. But I have
found a way for you to crafty your long
cherished desires. L want you to arm
yourself with a double-edged grammar
and a self-cocking arithmetic and skulk
down to the school-house Monday bright
and early. When school calls conceal
yourself behind your book, and whenever
you see an opportunity jump onto a diff
cult problem and probe it through and
through. After you have to all appear
ances, mastered it, turn it upside down
and make it prove itself. By the time
you have followed this up q couple of
months you will begin to receive some of
the notoriety you crave and will be
looked upon as The Startler, or the Boy
Mathematician. By the end of the term
you will be pointed out to admirings spec
tators as The Double Entry Wonder of
the Seventh Ward School.
You think now that this will satisfy
you, but it will not. On the contrary it
will only spur you on to attempt still
more difficult achievements. An uncon-
trollable desire to graduate will take pos
session of you, and before you realize it,
you will be standing before a hall full OF
people, with q valedictory in one hand
and a cold sweat in the other, trying to
carry off the honors of commencement

Saddle Horses and Saddle Cats.

There is an increasing demand of late
for good saddle horses. The gaits that
especially command a horse for use In
the saddle are the walk, the fox trot, the
single foot and the rack. The walk is a
gait understood b~yeverybody, but every
body does not understand that a good
saddle horse ought to be able to go a
square walk at the rate of five miles an
hour. The fox trot is faster than the
square walk and the horse will usually
take a few steps at this gait when chang
ing from a fast walk to a trot. The
single-foot differs somewhat from the fox
trot and has been described as exactly
intermediate between the true trot and
the true walk. Each foot appears to
move Independently of the other, with a
sort of pit-a-pat, one-at-a-time motion,
and it is a much faster gait than the fox
trot. The rack is very nearly allied to
the true pacing gait, the difference being
that in the latter the hind foot keeps ex-
act time with the fore foot of the same
side, making it what has been called a
literal or one-side -at-a-time motion,
while in the former the hind foot touches
the ground slightly in advance of the fore
foot on the same side. The rack is not
so fast a gait as the true pace, but is q
desirable gait in a saddle horse.-Na-
tional Live Stock Journal.

Concerning Cartridges.

The fact has just been made to appear
in France that powder in cartridges de-
composes, under certain circumstances,
causing diminished velocity and loss Of
precision as compared with fresh cart
ridges. 1t seems that, between the
different dates of charge, 1876
and 1880, there was found a marked con-
trast in respect to efficiency. Thus, an
analysis of the matter contained In those
of 1876 proved them to be a mixture of
carbon, sulphur, saltpeter, sulphide Of
potassium, sulphate and carbonate of
potash, and sesquicarbonate of ammonia
with some metallic salts arising from a
combination of the brass of the case with
the constituents of the powder. The
showing in these and other cartridges
examined clearly demonstrated a pro-
gressiye decomposition of the powder in
the metallic cases ; and the quantity of
powder transformed in the given time is
proved to depend on the character Of the
atmospheric influences, and especially
that Of moisture, acting at the time Of
manufacture or during storage,

M. ROMAN, a French engineer, states

M. ROMAN, a French engineer, states
that the cultivation of the interesting
plant, the SOFA or Soya has been largely
developed in Hungary and in various
parts Of France. He thinks that it may
in the future become as important an
article of food as the potato. 1t grows
in any soil, v g the dryest and the
plant is an excellent fodder for cattle.
The seeds are very nutritious, and have
the form of small kidney beans. An
agreeable soup may be made of them.
The Chinese use them for various kinds
of cheese, to make a condiment with oil,
etc. In France, the seeds have been
roasted like coffee, and M. Roman says
the decoction OF the Sofa bean is very
similar to that of average coffee.

GEMS OF THOUGHT.
from Geo. Eliot,,s "Adam Beds.nJ

From Geo. Eliots's "Adam Bede."1
THE beauty of a lovely woman is like
music.
Our dead are never dead to us until
we have forgotten them.
A WOMAN may get to love by degrees
the best fire does not flare up the SOON

A MAN may be very firm in other mat
ters, and yet be under a sort OF w1tchery
rom a woman.
WHEN death, the great reconcller has
come, it is never our tenderness that we
repent of, but our severity.
If YOU would love q woman without
ever looking back ON your love as afolly,
| she must die while you are counting her.
We ARE apt to be kinder to the brutes
that love us than to the woman that o v
us. Is it because the brutes are dumb

THERE'S no pleasure in living if you're

BILE your mind out by the sly, like a leaky
barrel.
ONE may be betrayed into doing
things by a combination of circum-
stances which one might never have
done otherwise.
"BUT, mother, thee know'st we can

us. There's nobody but God that can
control the heart of man.
Evainestwoman is never thoroughly
conscious of her own beauty till she is

A Butter Test.

This test of butter will be read with
surprise by some. It is from the Paris
Journal de Pharmacies:
Rub some of the suspected butter on
q piece of broadcloth. If the butter
disappears without leaving a stain it is
pure, however poor. But if it leaves a
''grease spot" it has been mixed with
fat. Perhaps readers will not recall to
mind how singularly free from spots Of
any kind the clothing of dealers in but.
ter usually is, although these men IN
sampling their goods not unfrequently
find that some butter has been dropped
ON their dress. The fact is that butter
instead of soiling broadcloth is useful
for cleaning it.

What the Director said.

New York and Boston Despatch Express Com
pany, had a conversation with Mr.. Z. F. Lara
bee, one of the directors of the company, who
gave the following personal experience: "a
little over q year ago I was taken sick. I did
not know what the trouble was, but 1 continued
to grow worse, and my complaint baf1ed the
skill Of my doctors. At last my symptoms de-
veloped into that terrible complaint, Brights
Disease, which has been pronounced incurable
by all physicians. My sufferings at that time
were unspeakable. was bloated from head to
foot my heart panied me my pulse was irreg-

short, convulsive gasps. While suffering thus
1 learned Of Warmers Safe Kidney and Liver
Cure, and although 1 had been given up to die
by the prominent physicians Of Boston, and
they had told my friends I could not live a
week, I resolved to try this remedy as 8 last re-
sort. I am reioiced to say it has effected .
perfect cure in my case, and with many of my
friends who have been afflicted with kidney
troubles, either of long standing or in their
acute forms, and who, under my advice, have
used this most wonderful remedy"

Golden Medical Discovery is q concen-
remedy that wins golden opinions from all who
use it for any humor, from the common pimple,
blotch, or eruption, to the formidable scrofu-
louB swelling, or ulcer. Internal fever, sore
ness and liberation yield to its benign influences.
Consumption, which is but a scrofulous afec-
ton of the lungs, may, in Its early stages, be
cured by q free use of this God-given remedy.

A CONSPICUOUS increase of suicides
among the officers of the Austrian army
has led to an investigation, and it is
found that pecuniary embarrassment is
the cause in 80 per cent. of the cases.
The cost of living has greatly increased
in Austria, as it has everywhere else in
Europe, within q few years, and at the
same time the manner of life among the
army officers has become more extrava-
CANT. To Offset these larger demands
upon their incomes there has been no
proportionate increase in their pay,
which was always VIGOROUSLY small.
