An April Girl.

The girl that is born on April day
Has right to be merry, ightsome, gay
And that is the reason 1 dance and play
And frisk like a mote in sunny ray
Wouldn't you
Do it, too,
Ifyou had been born on an April day?
The girl that is born on an April day,
Has also right to cry, they say;
And so sometimes do give way
When things get crooked or all astray-
Wouldn't you
Do it, too,
If you had been born on an April day?
The girls Of March love noise and fray
And sweet as blossoms arr girls Of May
But belong to the time midway
And so l rejoice in sunny spray
Of smiles and tears and hap-a-day-
Wouldn't you
Do it, too,
If you had been born ON an April day.
Heigho! and hurrah for an April day.
Its cloud, its sparkle, its skip and stayll
l mean to be happy whenever l may,
And cry when must, for that's my way
Wouldn't you
Do it, too,
If you had been born on an April day.

Seven Arkansas men, who had been
nearly slain by mule, resolved to get re-
venge by making bonfire of the animal,
and sailed in to do so. But when the fire
got well to going, his muleship began to
kick the brands In every direction, and
the seven were forced to fee from the
shower of flames, all being badly injured,
while a flying brand set haystack on
6re and nearly cremated two tramps who
were asleep therein. And then the mule
broke his bonds and galloped away
with cheerful bray. Man has not learned
to cope with the mule or perpetual mo-
ton.

The following article from the Fort
Worth Live Stock Journal, on the subject
of stock men, taking care of calves during
the round ups, is 80 appropriate that we
give 1t space: "There is great waste and
heavy loss In too reckless mode of killing
calves so extensively practiced by many Of
our stock men and their employees. The
practice is cruel, barbarous one, and, II
it were not, calves are now too valuable
for this extravagant practice to be contin-
ued. Every possible care and precaution
should be taken to prevent calves being
separated from their mothers during the
roundup and branding seasons. Rough
and reckless handling is inhunan and
wasteful.
The use of calves for beef should be aban-
doned. They are the most expensive diet
ranchmen can have. The killing of a
calf often causes the loss of the cow. The
practice sets an example for dishonest
men, who make veal of their neighbors'
calves, and just so long as the practice is in
dulged in will bad men avail themselves of
it to eat the calves of some other men.
No one can afford to feed large outfits of
men on his own calves when it requires
one each day to supply them. 1t woud be
much cheaper to buy canned beef from the
Chicago and st. Louis canning establish
ments for this purpose. In fact, time and
money both can be saved by not only canned
beef, but canned vegetables, fruits. etc.
At any rate, no food could be more expen-
slve than young calves at their present
value.
Abolish the practice. It is inhuman,
wasteful and leades to dishonesty-for as
long as 1t Is kept up some men will be
hard to convince that the meat of a
neighbor's or an estray calf is not more
toothsome than that of their own stock"

A perpetual-motion mac inc is now
on exhibition in New York for the edi.
tication Of the curious. According to
the World reporter it consists of two
wheels, geared into each other, and car.
rying wooden balls which roll to and
fro between the centre and the circum-
ference of each wheel. This device is
certainly not new; but the inventors OF
the present apparatus seem to have
made some unexplained i'm orovemeut
in it, for 90 far from coming i'm Mediate
ly to a dead stop, AZ all "perpetual-mo.
ton machines on this principle have
been in the habit of doing hitherto, this
mon plus ultra of mechanism" requires
to te restrained to prevent it from
whirling Sd rapidly a, to throw the
balls about the room by centrifugal
force. At least, this is the assertion
made by the inventors, who, to curb
the activity of their new Frankenstein,
have harnessea it by means of belt to
cider mill, which it appears to turn
without effort. The incredulous World
reporter, inverting the apparent order
of transmission, suggested that the cider
mill might be operated by some appli.
cation of concealed power from the out
side and turned the Frankenstein in
stead of being turned by it, and pro-
posed to remove the belts and see if
this was not the case, but was indig-
nantly checked by the proprietors ofthe
who appear to share Mr..
Keely's fears that the glance of pro-
fame eye may brighten away the giant
which they claim to have brought un.
der their control. American Archi
