The American Agriculturist for October, tue to its comprehensive name, "Amer ican," has articles suited to all parts of our extended country. The engravings are even more numerous Cover eighty) and telling than usual The opening picture, or, rather, series of pictures, will appeal to many western pioneer, as 1t shows at glance the history of hundreds of now prosperous families. The many interested in the question, ''What COWS shall l keep?" will be glad to see the portraits, from life, of the leading dairy breeds. The lovers of dogs-pure-br useful dogs, not CUTS will find in the "Canine Portrait GallerY," life-like pictures of the best breeds. Farm buildings of all kinds, from the snug cot tage to the ample mansion, and from the spacious barn to the poultry house and piggery, have long been a marked feature tober number gives the elevation and plans complete for cottage with French roof, and estimates for it's construction. The same are given for an elegant, but not costly, carriage house and stable. Among minor buildings are A plan of house for raising chickens, after they are hatch ed by an incubator. Also, one for the economical feeding of sheep. Among ar- ticles of general interest are: Editorial Notes of western travel, Illustrating fea- lures of the "Far Vest" "Among the Cocoanuts" and an illustrated article on the 'Negro Share Farmer, present phases of agriculture which are quite novel. The articles of practical utility to farmers and others everywhere are numerous. The hints on Work for the Month, on the farm, in the orchard, and elsewhere, are, as usu- al, to the point. The little helps, the de- vices for saving labor and money, are as abundant as ever, and, when the subject requires, illustrated. The feeding of swine, most important matter, especially in the western states, is treated in two articles j; one, by Professor Thompson, of Nebraska, strikingly shows the importance of green food. The housekeeper will find many useful hints in her department, and the children will find the usual amount of en- tertainment and instruction in their de- partment. A finely illustrated supplement to this number gives much interesting matter, including Editorial Notes t'Through Iowa and Minnesota to Dakota, and pre- sents most attractive list of premiums, in great variety, with which the American Agriculturist iberally rewards those who increase its subscription list. The follow ing are among the writers in the October number: Prof. s. R. Thompson, Dr. A. Liautard, B. s. Renwick, George Thurber, Orange Judd, David w. Judd, William Gift, A. B. Allen, B. D. Halsted, M. c. Weld, s. B. Reed, Alfred Tumble, l.. A. Beatty, L.. D. Shook, J. M. Stahl, Elmer Lynnde.
 During the coming year the American Agriculturist proposes to devote large space to information regarding the great west and southwest, setting forth the char acter, climate, soil, price of lands, etc. ,etc., of various localities. This will be lead ing feature of the paper, of great value to everybody who contemplate moving west ward

Philadelphia Press.) TWENTY-FOUR O'CLOCK.

The proposal of the Pennsylvania rail- road to introduce uniform railway time standard and to measure the day by twen- ty-four enumerated hours, instead ot by twelve, is very startling and, in its way, interesting suggestion. lii 1t should be adopted by the united railways of America it would lead to 8 contrast between an es- tablishe habit and fanciful idea, in which the latter would be defeated. All the world now looks at it's watch to ascertain how near or how far the sun happens to be from the meridian over that particular watch Owing to the multiplicity of railway cen ters, at least fifty meridians are now used as the standards upon which American trains run. Hence person taking tram in Boston for Washington must ascertain whether his timetable means o'clock by Boston time, by that of New York, Phlla- delphia or Washington * Watches are of no assistance whatever, because ev- l cry mile travelled east or west destroys | their relative correctness. * But there are very decided objections to the plan. Dull people would never to their dying day understand it, and some people not dull would not master 1t easily. 1t would nec4ssitat,s the division of our days into twenty-four hours each. The first would begin as the sun crossed the meri- dian of Greenwich, and o'clock to men scattered along the continent would mean very different amounts of daylight and darkness, instead of the same real and ap- parent amount of solar d: clina!ion. Peo- pie who now rise regularly at 8 o'clock in the emorning would find themselves awaken ing little after a. m., or as 1t would be called under the twenty-four hour system, s'tift4en o'clock" * The Pennsyl- vania railroad company may treat the mat ter of travel as the most important event in mans life, but it is not so and no peo- pie will ever change habit which has al- ways prevailed, in order to avoid some complication in the matter of starting and running railroad trains.

 There was bang, 8 puff of smoke and MT. Clyde reeled and fell to the floor, with blood gushing from an ugly wound in his side.

 ''It is an ugly wound,' he said, without committing himself further.

THE WOUNDED OK.


An Ok who was one day passing along
the highway fell and broks his leg. In a
short time along came the Horse, who
halted, and called out:
Mercy on me! but what has hap
pened?"

"Hello! What does this mean!' he
grunted as he checked his pace.
