A Discouraged Man.
Rural New Yorker.

Rural New Yorker.
A newspaper once contained an ad-
vertisement for man to fill a certain
position, which concluded with: "No
discouraged man need apply" There
was a deep worldly wisdom in this,
says the Rural Messenger, for dis
couragement is terrible drawback in
fighting life's battle. The discouraged
man is defeated in advance. He car
ries failure about with him; he taints
when he needs most to be strong; he
falters where decision is most needed;
he halts where he ought to hurry for.
ward; he cannot stand up under the
strain and burden of the race. 1t is
hard that it should be so-harder still
that so little real sympathy is felt for
discouragement. The world does not
need such a man, and has little mercy
for him; and so he falls into the ranks
of the unsuccessful, while he of high
hope, who is yet new in the struggle,
who has not supped the bitter cup of
disappointment and found out all is
vanity and vexation, strides before
HIM and is accepted where the much.
tried man fails. There is something
contagious in buoyant, happy, ener-
getio spirit, which carries those who
come in contact with it away, and sue.
cess is as often the result of this strange
animal force as of perseverance and
continued effort. All the experience
in the world will not carry the man of
deep encouragement successfully thro'
an enterprise.

Economy on the Farm.

On the farm, and in all the various

consist of aggregated items, insignif-
cant in themselves, individually consid.

in unity and as a whole. In the man.
agement of a farm, all needless expen-
ture should be systematically avoided

Fatal Hog Bones.

A young man named Andy Wolf,
living on Baxter avenue, was poisoned
under very peculiar circumstances yes
terday, He was eating backbone pie,
when sharp corner of one of the
bones cut his lower lip. Although the
skin was merely scratched, and no
blood was drawn, it panied HIM very
much, and inside of an hour his lip
was swollen the size of a coffee cup.
The swelling was spreading fast, and
threatened to envelop his whole head
and body. A doctor was called in and
remedies administered to prevent its
spread. 1t is thought his blood has
been poisoned with the backbone.
There must be something very peculiar
about cuts from hogs bones, for not
long ago a workman at Taggart's pork
house cut his arm on a piece of bone
and now it is thought that the arm
will have to be amputated. Louis

Vitality of Clover Seed,

A writer in the CO,rier-JournGl of
the 25th of November inquired how
long the seed of red clover, if carefully
kept, will retain its vitality. Many
years ago we saw a farm stable erected
on a hill side, in which the farmer fed
two successive crops of red clover hay,
in part during the winter, and no more
of such hay ever after. The manure
from other forage accumulated for
years therein, and the bottom was not
removed until after the death of the
old farmer, when the land changed
ownership. The new purchaser found
the stable nuisance, tore it down and
hauled the manure out and scattered it
upon his premises during the winter.
He was amazed in the spring when he
found the ground literally covered
with young rcd clover, coming up
wherever the manure touched. The
mystery was explained to him by one
Of the male members who had lived
upon the old homestead. The deposit
had been made previously in that old
stable about forty years. Many far
mers say if clover seed, even in ma.
nure, is kept from sprouting, it will re.
tain its vitality for many, very many
long years. G. H. M.

Millions i'm Cotton Seed.
Germantown Telegraph.

New York Mail.
Again and again has this journal
called attention to the fact that mil.
lions of dollars are wasted every year
by neglect to utilize the cotton seed,
and Mr.. Edward Atkinson, is doing
good service in the south by his efforts
to induce the planters to save the seed.
For every pound of cotton there are
three pounds of seed; and as the cot
ton crop is more than 5000, 900 bales
year, the amount Of cotton seed pro.
duced annually is more than 5000, 900
tons. The crushing mills pay an av-
erage of S12 a ton for the cotton seed,
and obtain from it products worth $24
or more a ton. Cotton seed oil is
forty-fve cents gallon, is preferred
by many to lard for cooking purposes,
ana Is used upon the table by multi
tude who suppose they have the finest
olive oil. The most valuable product
of the seed is oil cake, which is rapidly
growing in favor as food for cattle.
The crushing mills use the hulls of the
seed for fuel, the ashes being valuable
for the fine quality of potash they con-
tain, and the dregs of the oil tanks are
useful in soap manufacture. At pres
ent prices, the value of the cotton seed
products ought to be $72,0OO,OOO a
year, but much of the seed is wasted.
If the nation manufactured the cotton
it grows and utilized all the cotton
seed, the value of the cotton crop
would be nearly three times what it is

Why Kerosene Lamps Explode.

Girls, usually, as Well as boys, need
to understand about kerosene explo-
sions A great many fatal accidents
happen from trying topoura little kero-
sene in the fire to make it kindle better,
also by pouring oil Into lamp while it
is lighted. Most persons suppose that
it is the kerosene itself which explodes
and that if they are careful to keep the
oil itself from being touched by the
fire or light there is no danger. If a
can or lamp is left about half full of
kerosene oil the oil will dry up-that
is, 'evaporate"-a little, and will form,
by mingling with the air in the upper
part, very explosive gas. You can
not see this any more than you can see
the air. But if it is disturbed and the
least blaze reaches it, there will be a
terrible explosion, although the blaze
did not touch the oil. There are sew
eral other liquids used in houses
and workshops which will pro.
duce an explosive vapor in this way.
Benzine is one; burning fluid is an
other and naptha, alcohol, ether chic.

Suppose girl tries to fill kerosene
lamp without blowing it out, OF
course the lamp is nearly empty or she
would not care to fill it. This empty
space is filled with cloud of explosive
vapor arising from the oil in the lamp
When she pushes the nozzle of the car
in the lamp at the top, and begins tC
pour the oil in, and the gas issues W
over the edges of the lamp, and at the
top into the room outside. Of course
it strikes the blazing wick which tn,
girl is holding down by one side. Th'
blaze of the wick sets the invisible
cloud of vapor on fire, and there is al
explosion which ignites the oil aut
scatters it over her clothes and owe
the furniture of the room. This is th
way in which kerosene lamp bursts
The same thing may happen when
