Playing It ON the Farmers.

This section is just now infested with
a nest of sharpers, who are PLAYING upon
credulous people, and lining their peck
cts with ducats at their expense. The
boldest and most extensive operator is
fellow who claims to be agent for q
sewing machine company. His plan is
to leave six machines with an unsus-
posting farmer, agreeing with him in
writing that if he sells five of them at
fifty dollars each he is to have the sixth
for his trouble; that if the machines are
not sold at the end of six months, the
agent is to take them back, and make
no charge for the use of one BY the
farmer AS before stated, this contract
is signed by the farmer, and has the APP
pearance OF fairness on its face; but it
is delusion and snare to him who
putteth his name to it, as large numbers
have found out to their sorrow. The
piece of paper is one of those little iok-
ers which can be turned by simply tear
ing it in two. into a note for $3.50.
which the alleged general agent
takes at once to an innocent party. who
discounts it, and then there is. nothing
left for the signer to do but to paw #
when it becomes due. One of these
sWindlers has been operating in Hazel
Green Township and in other parts of
Southern Wisconsin, and has CAUGHT
scores Of farmers by his little game. IA
similar dodge has been played in one or
twotowns in this county. and this item is
written for the purpose ofputting people
on their Guard. Galena llll,l Gazstte.

Colts.

You can not beat and swear a colt
into good horse. This course has been
pursued ever since the first few colts
were foaled, and the universal verdict
is that it is lamentable failure. Even
they who whip the hardest and swear
the loudest will agree to that verdict
The Arab, as is well known, brings the
horse to such marvellous perfection as
characterizes Arabian horses, through
the exercise of unvarying kindness from
the time the colt is foaled until the
horse dies. The family and the colt
occupy the same apartment frequently,
and the animal is at all times perfectly
familiar with the voice and touch Of
those about him. He fears nothing.
for there is nothing to fear. He learns
from the very beginning that man is his
friend and protector The idea of mas
ter which obtains among us, is never
entertained in Arabia, while in truth the
Arabian is more truly and perfectly the
master of the animal than we are We
are apparently satisfied with the name,
and with what satisfaction comes from
acting the role of the tyrant, while the
Arab seeks the reality and does not as
pire to be tyrannical.
As soon as we learn the important
lesson which Arabian horsemanshiD
teaches we shall have more good horses,
and shall be better satisfied with our
selves. We shall then find the colt
broken at the time we now usually be-
gin to break il, for from the very COM
mencement of its existence, we shall
begin to accustom it to being handled.
and gradually accustom it to trappings
which will resemble the harness, until
when the time comes for turning the
play into reality, the work will have all
been done. This should be the aim Of
every horse breeder. The confidence
of the colt should be early won, and it
can be won much easier in colthood
than it can be when the time has ar
rived that we now call the breaking
time.
The age at which colt should be put
to work should be when it has substan-
TALLY obtained its growth, or rather
when it has become perfectly developed.
The most of our colts are put to work
too young, especially if they have grown
rapidly. It may be said that our colts
are usually broken from one to three
years sooner than they should be-

We sometimes feel that we are pretty
well up in the world here on the Com
stock, particularly in winter, but we are
only a little over seven thousand feet
above the level of the sea- This, in
some places, would be looked upon all
most as being down on the plain, yet
many persons complain of the lightness
of the atmosphere in this city. Even
here the housewife finds some difficulty
in cooking meats and vegetables by
boiling. Water boils here at tempera-
ture too low to cook some kinds of food.
There is every year complaint that the
pease brought fromCalifOr are as hard
as buckshot. The trouble is that the
water does not become sufficiently hot
to cook them. Here, when either meat
or vegetables are being cooked by boil
inc, the vessel used should have close
fitting lid in order that the steam may
be confined. There is, of course, no
trouble about roasting meats or any
thing else, fire being as hot here as in
any other part of the world While
strangers complain much of the thin
ness of our atmosphere, old settlers are
not much distressed, and children born
and reared here seem not to suffer in
convenience in any way. They race up
and down the sides of the mountains at
full speed without finding any difficulty
in breathing. Their lungs are large
enough to take in all the air, light as it
is, that they require. Nature provides
lungs for almost every altitude to those
who are born and grown up on the spot.
There has been great deal of dis
cussion recently as to the altitude at
which human beings can exist. In
South America there are towns. such as
Potosi, placed as high as the top of
Mount Blanc, the inhabitants of which
feel no inconvenience. The highest in
habited spot in the world is, however,
the Buddhist cloister of Hanle, in
Thibet, where twenty-one priests live at
an altitude of 10000 feet The broth
ers Schlaginweit, when they explored
the glaciers of the Ibe Gamin, in the
same country, encamped at q 900 feet,
the highest altitude at which Euro
pean ever passed the night. Even at
the top Of Mount Blanc Prof. Tyndall's
party found it very unpleasant to do
this, though the professor himself did
not confess to feeling as bad as they.
The highest mountain in the world is
Mount Everest (Himalaya), 29,003 feet,

Modern Trunk Handling.

Modern improvement in the handling
of trunks has to a large extent done
away with the trade of the fierce and
muscular "baggage-smasher," whose
vengeful and destructive skill has caused
more female heart-aches than Cupid
himself. Patent baggage carts, bag
gage elevators and new-fangled baggage
trucks have so lightened the labor Of
transportation that a traveller no longer
considers it necessary TO look out at
every change to see if his garments are
safe in their places or scattered over
the platform or baggage-car floor.
A box full of gold bricks could
scarcely be watched with more care
than trunk is looked after by the big
railway companies in these days of
travel The destination of every one
of the 1 800 pieces of baggage which
goes out of the Broad Street Station,
Philadelphia, daily, is recorded IN a
book, and every time it changes cars q
receipt is taken by the train baggage
master and sent back to the Philadelphia
office.
IF, for instance, in a journey from
Philadelphia to New Orleans the trunk
changes cars ten times, ten receipts,
showing whose hands it passed through
and who delivered to the passenger and
received the check, are taken and re-
turned to the men who started it on It's
voyage. A trunk which left Broa9
Street Station a year ago. can be traced
by the receipts here through an t.e
routes and through whose hands II
passed to its destination. Thus u nap
pens that of the 300, 900 sent out last
year not single trunk was lost,-PlefE-

The Laugh as an Ally Of Intemperance.

Not the jolly, rollicking peal of good
natured laughter at the supposed follies
Of the Temperance reformer; not even
the simpering, sneering smile of the
scoffer, but the involuntary litter of the
passer-by at the antics of drunken
man, or of the listener at Temperance
lecture, responsive to the ludicrous pre-
sentation of drunken mans plight.
Nobody means any harm, of course. but
all the same harm is done. The bust
ness man as he goes home at night
with a friend, passes the poor, stagger-
ing wretch, just turned out of some
highly licensed saloon, and the two
sober individuals. if. indeed. they be
entirely sober, exchange droll remarks
on his pitiable condition, and together
laugh over his folly and sin. Suppose
the little son of one of them to be ac-
companying his father on his homeward
way what impression does he get OF
the wickedness of the drunken lnanP

man reduces himself to such case?
What more than this: that it is matter
to smile at-a folly to be derided, not
sin to be Stunned?
The man at his home. to his wife ard
daughter speaks of meeting Jones

quite as if he had said that he met Jones
on the street sscourting a pretty girl
Nothing worse than that, and Jones a
bachelor. The boy looking and listen
ing, watching his mothers and his sis
ter's face sees simply this, and wonders
if to be reeling drunk is after all so
much of matter as his Sunday-school
teacher tried to make cut on the last
quarterly Temperance day.
A large audience gathers to listen to
a gifted orator who diseourses on the
various phases of the now absorbing
theme of Prohibition. He does not
mimic the drunkard-that is out of
fashion that laugh is out of date.
But in the midst of some finely-worded
description he interlardS a ludicrous
version of young mans downward
course. or incidentally alludes to some
of the ridiculous postures and situations
in which the drinker is placed, or even
more subtly still reveals light esti-
mate of the evils of drunkenness by a
chance word in which the small
boys find opportunity for amuse-
ment. That little laugh has
wrought more injury to his cause than
pounds of argumentatiye cure can now
accomplish. 1t has even established in
the younger minds a conviction that
after all not even the speaker himself
believes the saloon such curse since
he can speak lightly of its work, and
with twinkle in his eve, of the conse-
quences of drink. It is better ally of
intemperance for the occasion and
the place than the saloon keeper HIM
self would be, arguing on the platform
the personal liberty and right of man
to sell and to drink ardent spirits.
The laugh born of such parentage is
an enemy in our own camp--a traitor
to our best laid plans for educational
effort ard permeation of the masses
with Temperance truth. It gives the
lie to our statements of facts, smothers
our most impassioned appeals ere they
are out of our mouths, and betrays us
to our own children.
Goethe says there is nothing in which
people show more plainly their true
characters than in what they laugh at
Can it be that after all we have no true
appreciation of intemperance?- Union

The Penalty.

DR.. Andrew Mcfarland writes thus:
cit is your stout old hero who goes to
bed every night with liquor enough
under his belt to fuddle the brains of a
half dozen ordinary men, and yet lives
out his three-score years and ten, that
will be found at the head of the stock
that pour into the world, generation
after generation, such crop of lunatics,
epileptics, eccentrics and inebriates as
we. often see. The impunity with which
one so constituted will violate all phys
ical law gets its set-off in a succeeding
generation, when the great harvest be-
gins. That the iniquities of the father
are visited upon the children, that the
fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the
children's teeth have been set on edge, !
are truths that no Scripture is needed
to teach; in other words, he who sins
through physical excess does not do half
the harm to himself that he does to the
inheritors of his blood. The penalty
must be paid as surely as there is seed
time and harvest. y
