said there was not much use in discussing
the bill. The members had had both sides
Of the question presented to them forcibIy
by friends and opponents Of the bill; they
have read the articles in the press on the
subject, and they had walked the streets Of
the city and seen their disgraceful condi.
ton. The city was laboring undera heavy
debt, yet what had we to show for It? The
water Works surely are not what they
ought to be, and what member OF this
House ever saw single street, a single
square that any city in the country would
not be ashamed Of? In the past nine years
the city has spent nearly half million
dollars on its streets, and yet look at them.
Is It any wonder the manufacturers and
business men Of the city have risen and
demanded change for tho better? He
thought any member who would vote for
this bill would not regret it when he came
back in future years and saw the result in
improved streets and an effective system OF
water supply.

Mules Of the Country.

A statement made by the Agricultural
Department giving the number and av-
erage value of the mules in the various
States explodes the general belief that
Kentucky and Missouri are the chief
States in which this much-abused ami
NAL is bred 1t also names New Jersey
and MARYLAND as the States where
mules are rated highest. The average
price given in New Jersey in 1880 was
1921 per head and in Maryland S103
per head. In Texas, which State has
the greatest number of mules, 202, AGO,
these animals are valued at a much
lower price, the figure given being
S44 Sc.
Returns for the year ending March l,
1881, credit Missouri with 1874, 224 head
at S57 and Kentucky with 81, 544 head,
worth sol. 80; Kansas had So, no head,
at $50. 90; Arkansas, 57.445, at sos. 81;
Iowa, As, 594, at $40, and Nebraska,
10, 568 mules, at an average value of
$50. SO.
The Kansas City Lire Stock Indicator.
commenting on these figures, says " 1t
is generally understood that mules
above. medium size and of even fair
qualities are about as readily sold at
any age for cash as wheat is, and re-
ports show that they sell in this market
readily at 800 to $500 per head. -
This is nearly double the price per head
of the average United States mule, the
average price for the country being
500. 7g. IN I. World.

How Clay Pipes are Made.

It is popularity believed that all clay
pipes are either made in Europe or from
clay brought from the other hemis-
phere; but such is not the ease, as
very large share of the clay pipes made
in America are made of clay found at
and near Woodbridge, n. j.
The clay comes by the car load, and
the first step toward preparing it for
molding is to sufficiently dampen it with
water to make it pliable. This is done
by placing it in a tank, where it soaks IN
water about twenty-four hours. It is
then hammered with iron bars, thus
Kidding it of any humps or dry chunks.
Then the molding begins, the workman
taking lump of clay in each hand and
by squeezing and rolling it molds the
pieces into a rough stem thrice larger
than the finished pipe stem, having q
rough ball at its end. These trolls, -
as they are called, are piled on wooden
trays, sixteen to each tray, after which
they are dried, either by the sun or arti-
fetal means, according to the weather.
After having been dried, not to hard
ness, but sufficient to dispose of al SUI
perf1uous dampness, the rolls are ready
to have the stem drilled and the bowl
formed To drill the stem the work
man holds a small iron rod-the size of
the stem hole-and with his left hand
pulls the clay roll over the rod instead
of showing the rod through the stem. To
do this the workman is guided solely
by the sense of touch in his finger tips,
and that sense is so accurate that the
hole is invariably made straight and
equidistant from all points of the e1ter-
Tor of the roll. The bali at the end OF
the roll is turned up, and then roll and
rod are placed in an iron matrix which
presses the pliable clay into the desired
outside pattern. Then the matrix and
its contents are placed in a hand press,
and the workman, by pulling a lever,
forms the hole of the pipe-bowl. The
nodded pipe, still soft and pliable, next
passes to the hands of the trimmers,
girls who scrape off the superfiuous
clay, marking the joints of the matrix.
Then the pipes are placed in fire proof
clay ''saggers'' and the loaded saggers
are piled into a large furnace. This
furnace has six fues at the bottom, and
the six sheets of flame at the bottom
concentrate at the top, thus making the
heat even throughout. Until the pipes
go into the furnace they are blue in
color, but when they come out they are
pure dead white.-Detr0it Free Press.

"A babyp" repeated Mrs. Gates,

g Yes, and the poor little thing looks
half starved. -
Mamma said Dear, eagerly,
g why can't we have them all up here

Harvey Gates glanced at his wife.
After a moments hesitation she said
Yes, they can come, L suppose, if
there amt more n forty or fifty of 'em;'
and she opened the oven door and
basted the turkey with energy. " Har-
vey," she called, as she heard him
going toward the door, ''tell B ddy to
bring the baby; and here, you take that

And so the McCoy's had the grandest

Horses Shooting.


Horse-shoeing is quite an % art,
though there are hundreds of smiths
who know how to tack a shoe on, per
haps how to make a neat-looking one,
but who do not know when horse is
properly shod. If horse-owneEs only
knew how a horse should be shod there
would be fewer poor and careless horse
shoers One great fault. and one to be
avoided, is burning the hoOf with a red
hot shoe to g fit it to the foot. and no
horsepower should permit the smith TO
do this, as it crisps up the foot making
it harsh brittle and liable to be broken.
Do not permit the smith to tit the foot
to the shoe by needless rasping and cut
ting but have the hoof dressed up
properly. and then have the shoe fitted
to the foot Five nails in each shoe. if
properly driven and a turned, > will hold
almost any shoe on until il should be
removed, though for horses which do
very heavy work seven nails may be de-
sirabIe. Never permit the frog to be
pared away If there he ragged or torn
edges, these may be taken OF, but never
do more, for nothing protects the foot
from injury as does healthy flog,
while large part of the foot-lameness
we now see is caused by being careless

Effect Of Cultivation.


The common potato probably shows
the effect of cultivation as much as any
plant ever introduced into fields or
gradens. But it issnOt generally known
that the change from its normal to what
we may term improved state is quite
rapid. requiring only few years to pro-
duce large tubers of various colors from
the wild ones BY careful culture. Where
the wild plants grow abundantly in
New Mexico aud some parts of Arizona,
the ranch men assure us that when they
pillow up the wild plants in putting ia
cultivated crops, the effect upon the po-
tatoes is quite marked The tubers at
first are about the size of small marbles,
or a half inch or little more in di-
ameter. but the second season after
being disturbed they will become nearly
or quite double the original size, and
the next season still larger. if not killed
out in the blowing and hoeing. The
size of the plants also increases and the
leaflets, which at first are only about
half inch wide by an inch in length. in
crease in the same proportion as the
tubers. We have ourselves gathered
the tubers from the wild plants in the
undsturbed soils of the valleys of New
Mexico, as well as from the disturbed
or plowed land, and noted the diff
ference in size as claimed by many of
the residents of the country.-N Y.

Man and Brute in Hong Kong.

The. means of locomotion in Hong
Kong, says a correspondent of the Lon
don Times, forces itself on the attention
of the stranger the moment he steps
on shore. Horse-carriages have
almost disappeared from the island, and
a novelty in the shape of annan- carriage
of Japanese invention now disputes the
ground with the indigenous sedan chair,
their great battle-ground being Queens
Road, the one thoroughfare in the town.
The man-carriage, or jin-rik-sha, is a
light but strongly-built article, happy
adaptation of the most useful features of
the bath chair and the hanson cab, but
avoiding the delusion which pervades,
disfgures, and. handicaps all English
manufactures, that weight is sYnony-
nous with strength. The wheels of the
jin-rik-sha are as thin and spider-like as
a child's perambulatOr. the shafts, of
hickory or some equally tough wood,
about one inch in diameter, yet they
carry comfortably a tweIve-stone man
at six miles an hour without ever break
ing down. One man draws the car
rage. 1t is quite remarkable to observe
how successfully men compete with ami
mails in China and Japan for the hOnors
of brute labor.
