The Chicago, Rock Island d Pacific
Railway.

This railway Is the favorlte, most popu-
lar and comfortable line 10 Peoria, Rock
Island, Davenport, Des MONIES, Kansas
City, Atchlson, Leavenworth, Council
Bluffs, Omaha and points intermediate and
westward to Colorado, new Mexico,
Arizona, California, Oregon, Washington
Territory and British Columbia.
In fact "The Great Rock Island Route"
is the only one that runs through cars to
all the principal Missouri river points and
to Minneapolis and 81. Paul via the Albert
Lea Route. Examination Of the map of
the United States shows that this line oc-
cupies the central position among the great
Western railroads, and Is therefore able to
reach more OF the commercial cities of the
West, with less miles of track than any
competitor.
at the same time 1t connects directly IN
union depots, with every line OF road that
crosses the continent or pierCes the agri-
cultural and mineral regions west of the
Missouri river.
This being the case, it Is naturally the
line intelligent people choose who wish to
go quickly to their destination; and al
ways having most comfortable cars upon
its trains, charging as low rates of fare as
any other line and checking baggage
through, it obtains an unparalleled support,
and year by year grows in popular esteem.
We think we give good advice and that
which is worth needing when we say 10
all who are journeying west of Chicago,
purchase your tickets over this route for
you will get your moneys worth In the
pleasant journey which such action lnsures.

Drinking In The Hay-PIeld.

Men In health perspre freely when
vigorously at work on warm days. Very
heavy sweating may sometimes arise
from weakness; a dry skin may Indicate
disorder. Evaporation from the surface
carries eff heat and keeps the body cool.
A large supply of drinking water is re-
quired for the warm having and harvest
days, but much less than is commonly
supposed. Half pint of water, slipped
slowly, will assuage thirst much more
effectively than quart gulped down.
a pint OF cold fluid OF any KIND, thrown
into the stomach, may result in more or
less congestion; serious illness, and not
unfrequentDy deaths, arise from this cause
If ice water is taken at any time, it
should always be swallowed so slowly
that the stomach can warm each gill be-
fore taking another. As to the kinds of
drink, the positive teachings of medical
science, and experience, indicate that pure
water is by far the best fluid for assuag
ing thirst, and supplying the wants of
the system. Beers, ales, sweetened
drinks, or any fluid that contains mate
rial that must be 6igested, are tax upon
the stomach. and tend to disorder the
system. If taken at all, 1t should only
be with other food. Pure water is a5-
sorbed at once into the blood, and Is car
ried directly to those parts of the system
where 1t is needed. If tbs water Is bad,
t may usually be corrected by the addl-
ton OF little ginger, or ginger extract;
too much of this produces constipation;
but on this account it may be used more
freely in Iooseness of the bowels. All al
coholic drinks are unhealthful for one in
active exercise. They stimulate increased
effort effort beyond ones natural strength
aud unnatural exhaustion inevitably
follows Just so far as any one raises
himself above normal condition by alco-
holic stimulants, just 50 far below this
condition will he surely sink few hours
after, and the elevatlng and depressing
operation wears upon and disorganizes the
machinery of the body.

Confidence.

When the Duke of Cambridge was
about to become the guest of Lord
Stratford for few days at the embassy,
he went in his dressing-gown and slip
pers, at an early hour in the morning,
to see that the rooms prepared for his
Royal Hlghness were in order Finding
the Dukes valet arranging the trunks
and portmanteaus which had arrived,
the Ambassador began to give him
directions bow they should be placed.
The man left off and stared at Lord
STRAIT ord.
''I will tell you what it is" he said,
81 know how his Royal Highness likes
to have his things arranged. So you
just shut up and be off, old fellow"
Lord Stratford went off in towering
passion, and, calling one of the attaches,
ordered him to go and tell the man who
it was that he had ventured to address
such language to. The attache re-
turned.
well, what did you say to himP"
asked the Ambassador.
II said 10 him, my Lord, that the
person to whom he had ventured to ad-
dress such language was her Majesty's
in Turkey"
"Ah, quite right. And what was his
answer"
"He answered, my Lord, that he
never said you wasn't.
Lord Stratford's anger would be ap-
peased by anything which seemed lu-
dicrous, and he enjoyed hearty laugh
with the attache.

RO5ewo cd and Mahogany.

Rosewood has been the leading wood to
veneer piano tories for the past thirty or
forty years. The best comes from Rio
Janeiro, some of which is very rich, but
varies considerably in different places
where ii is cut. Bahia rosewood is gener
ally longer, heavier and harder to work,
bat some of it is handsomely cross figured.
As people generally demand dark colored
rosewood, 1t has led to staining the light
wood very often, which may be known
when legs and arms, etc., of furniture and
piano fortes look unnaturally dark. At one
time manufactures used to cut roseWo ood
veneers In ribbons to veneer picture frames,
but soon rosewood was initiated to such
perfection by staining that the demand for
rosewood veneers for picture frames ceased
altogether.
1t is impossible to initiate mahogany by
staining so as to deceive, or to mend bad
places In the wood, as is done in other
kinds of wood. The wood is rich IN color,
close grained, heavy and durable, and nm
like, rosewood and many other woods, does
not fade, but gains color by time and
grows darker. The best mahogany known
grows in the Island Uf ST. Domingo, and
the finest of all on the south side OF that
Island.

A Close Relation.

There was q disagreeable scene last
night over at the Palmer mansion, be-
tween Colonel Floyd Palmer and his son
William. Bill Palmer is an Austin boy of
the most modern type, VINO always tells
his parents just what he thinks about
them, regardless of their feelings. Not
long since, he wanted to celebrate his
birthday with some of his youthful COM
panions, so he applied TO his father for an
adequate Appropriation. Colonel Palmer,
who IS a close relation Of William, being
his penurious father, responded with a
quarter of dollar, which bore about the
sane proportion to the need and expecta-
tions of Bill as did Galveston's Congress
ional appropriation to the one she applied
for.
Billy looked at the quarter, sneered at
it, and finally said to the author of his ex-
Istence.
"That's mighty slim appropriation to
celebrate the thirteenth birthday OF an
Austin boy on, but still don't reproach
Won. You are not to blame for my birth
day.
What do you mean, sir?" whoopeC
the now thoroughly aroused father"
81 mean just what 1 say. II mother
hadn't married such close relation as you
are, wouldn't never have had any birth
day to celebrate, and l would be all the
better off She is the one who is tC
blame. She should have married mar
of more liberal views, and then my father
would have afforded me the means oi
celebrating my birthday IN accordance
with my social status"

A Shocking EEL

Captain John," said /, "didn't you
tell me that you sometimes brought wild
animals in your ship from South Ameri.
car"
ooh, yes" said he" ct brought one
of the first electric eels that was ever
carried to New York. got it in Para,
Brazil, and bought it OF some Indians
for twelve milreis-abont six dollars OF
our money. We had lots of trouble
with this fellow, for these eels live in
fresh water, and, If we had not had
plenty of rain on the voyage, we couldn't t
have kept him alive, for the water he
was in had to be changed every day,
We kept him on deck in water barrel,
which lay on its side in its chocks,
with square hole cut through the
slaves on the upper side to give the
creature light and air. When we
changed the water, couple OF sailors
took hold of the barrel and turned it
partly over. while another held a straw
broom against the hole to keep the eel
from coming out. We would always
know when the water had nearly run
out. for then the eel lay against the
lower slaves, and even the wood of the
barrel would be so charged with cleo
tricity that the sailors could hardly hold
on to the ends of the barrel. They d
let go with one hand and take hold WITH
the other, and then they d let go with
that and change again. At first, did
Mt believe that the fellows felt the cells
shocks in this way; but, when l took
hold myself one day, found they were
MT shamming at all. Then we turned
the barrel back and filed it up with
fresh water; and started the eel off for
another day."
He got along first-rate, and kept
well and hearty through the whole OF
the voyage. When we reached New
York we anchored at Quarantine, and
the health-ofiicer came aboard. 1 knew
him very we'll, and said to him: Doc
tor, I've got something on board that
perhaps you never saw before. Whats
that? said he. AN electric eel, said
L 'Goodr said he; that is something
I've always wanted to see. want to
know just what kind of a shock they
can give All right, said /; you can
easily find out for yourself. He is in
this water-barrel here, and the water
has just been put in fresh, SO you can
see him. All you have got to do Is inst
to wait till he swims up near the sur
face, and then you can scoop hum out
with your hand. You needn't be afraid |
of his biting you The doctor said he
wasn't afraid OF that. He rolled up his |
sleeve, and, as soon as he got chance,
ne took the eel by the middle ard lifted |
it out of the water. 1t wasn't a very |
large one, only about eighteen inches
long, but pretty stout. The moment |
he lifted it he dropped it, grabbed his |
right shoulder with his left hand, and |
looked aloft. What is the matter?' |
said L why, ! thought something fell |
On me from the rigging, said he. Il
was sure my arm was broken. never
had such a blow in my life. 1T was
only the eel, said 1. Now you know
what kind of shock he can give.

About HorsesnOes.

Any one who will take the trouble 10
examine even casually, the anatomy of
the horses foot will see that the frog is q
wedge of elastic tissue fitted for coLc u.s.
sion. Each time il pounds the earth 1t
spreads the hoof laterally by reason of its
shape, Tor 1t is not only wedge antero-
posteriorly, bu: also vertically. 1t IS fitted
for conclusions as perfectly as is the sole
of the dog or the cat,
We know 1t Is a moot point among even
good horsemen as TO whether in shoeing
frog pressure should be courted or avoided.
Experience, we believe, will be in favor
of frog pressure, and both auatomy and
common sense are on its side. The frog is
precisely fitted. as we have said, for such
pressure and even our stony street pave
ments do but harden and develop the
frog just as the bare footed boy has his
foot-sole toHghened. Xenophon tells us
IL his school for horsemen that colts
brought up on dry, stony soils meyer need
protection.
The ordinary shoe, with heel and toe
cork, lifts the toot-sole from the ground
and prevents such frog pressure. But, as
rule, such horses have more or less con
tracted heels, and have not a long, free
stride. Their gait is ''groggy." Take off
such shoes and put on the Gtodenough or
similar shoe. and 1t is remarkable to see
how their gait improves and the heel ex-
pands. In the winter time, owing to the
ice, it is necessary to shoe them with
corks, say two or three times; all the rest
of the year the Goodenough, applied cold
is by far the best shoe. WD speak, aftCl
considerable experience.

Rose Culture.

The rose Is the queen Of flowers. 1t is
the true representative Of Flora In all her
beauty and sweetness; and, moreover, Ii
is like beauty itself impeushable because
ever renewed. For the rose is ever bloom
ing, and with good management may be in
bloom every day in the year. We have q
rose of that delicate and delicious variety,
Satrano now IN bloom, that has not been
without a bud or an open flower since
May, 1881, when it was first potted. as 1t
came by the mail from the greenhouse.
And Just here it might be useful aud inter-
estlng TO know that the mail will bring a
dover garden to every persons door every
day in the year, If need be. For dozen
ever blooming roses grown In pots, and
ready for immediate blooming, and often
bearing buds may be procured through
The mail from many rose growers for the
small sum of single dollar. And Just
now is the season for procuring these
lovely roses anc potting them for Fall and
Winter blooming. Let us follow up a rose
SO procured. A small package wrapped
in damp moss and oil paper arrives by the
mail. We find 1t to contain small but
perfectly well rooted rose plants that have
been grown In two or three inch pots.
Some of the old soil still adheres to the
roots. We put the plants in water at once,
and proceed to get the pots and soil ready
for them. We take three inch pots, or
old fruit or meat cans, which are excel
lent, but which must have q hole made In
the bottom for drainage. If we have no
soil ready prepared, we go to the woods or
the garden, and bring in box of the best
soil we can find, and sift it to get any
worms out of it. A piece of broken
crockery or fat stone is put over the
hole, and a few pieces Of broken brick or
coal clnders, little soil Is then put on
that. Then plant is held in the pot with
the left hand and the roots, first trimmed
little, If necessary, are nicely arrange d;
then the SOIL is sifted in among the roots
and pressed down with finger as it is put
In, Little by little SO that The roots are
evenly spread in the soil. In this way the
pots are filled near to the brim. The
plant is then cut back about one third, the
pot is dipped wholly in pail OF water to
settle the soil and Is put into cool, dark
cellar for ten days or 30; when it Is brought
out gradually to the light of day, and by

may be set out in garden bed, and

In two or three weeks new shoots are
formed and tiny flower buds will appear,
ana by and by as the plants grow rapidly
they will burst into bloom, repeated week

A Case ofDoubIe Sight.

In Vermont, ILL.,, week before last, oc-
Cured the death of Mrs. Enochs, wife of
Thomas B. Enochs. The circumstances
connected with the death are strange In
deed. On the Goth ultimo she gave birth
to a chIld, but some months before the
birth of the child she had presentiment
that she would not survive 1t and so firmly
was this fixed upon her mind that she
made arrangements for her funeral making
her choice of the minister to perform the
burial service and asked that some of her
early companions should sing. When the
child was born she gave evidence of recov-
ery, and when the physician came he
found her laughing and joyous and hope
full. He left her, expecting that she had
passed the most critical period. In about
three hours after the physician left her
she cried out and her brother ran TO her.
She clasped him around the neck, told him
that she was dying and in few moments
expired.
On the same morning of the day of her
death her mother, who resides In Lewis
ton, ILL.,, some distance from Vermont,
arose early and said that she felt that some
calamity was impending. The family
laughed at her and thought nothing of it,
but before the day was over she received
q telegram announcing her daughters
death. What Is still more strange, on the
morning atterward several gentlemen rela-
tlves of the deceased were talking togeth.
Ell, all ignorant of the death. Their num-
ber was joined by another gentleman, who
inquired after her health and that OF her
parents, ana remarked upon the fact that
be was present at the wedding of MIR. and
Mrs. En- ochs, out while they were talking
he telegram was received announcing her
