PAINT THE ROOFS.

Ii costs the owner of set of building:
a great deal to keep the roofs well shing-
led. 1t twill be only few years after root
is singled before it will begin to leak and
need shingling again. Paint will do
much towards preserving the shingles,
and it is far cheaper to keep roof paint
ed than to be at the expense of reshing-
ling every few years. The clapboards
on the walls of houses would last only a
few years if they were not kept painted
and shingles need paint more than the
clapboards, because they are more ex-
posed on the roofs than they would be
on the walls. A farmer who had low
barn with nearly fiat roof found that
he had to single it every seven or eight
years. Finally after shingling it, he
painted it and reprinted it twice after
wards, and at the end of twenty years
still had good roof. Cheap paint made
of oil and earth colors will do for roofs
and need not cost much.-Er.

ADVICE TO 4 BOY.

Get away from the crowd little while
every day, my boy. Stand one side and
let the world run by while you get ac-
quainted with yourself; and see what
kind of fellow you are. Ask yourself
hard questions about yourself. Ascer-
tain from original sources if you are
really the manner Of man people say you
are; find out if you are always honest
if you always tell the square, perfect
truth in business deals; if your life is as
good and upright at L o'clock at night
as it is at noon il you are as sound tenn
perance man on fishing expedition as you
are at Sunday school picnic if you are
as good boy when you go to Chicago
as you are at home; if, in short, you
really are the sort Of young man your
father hopes you are, your sweetheart be-
lieves you are. Get on intimate terms
with yourself, my boy, and, believe me,
every time you come out from one OF
these private interviews you will be a
stronger, better, purer man. Don't for
get this, Telemachus, and it will do
you good.

THE OTHER SIDE.-Behold yon man
gazing in the "Gentlemen's Furnishing
Store" window. Gazing at gaudy era
watts and neckties. Is he vain, ask
him. Oh no. He is not vain as wo-
man. But he wants one Of those silken
scarfs. There are all colors-old gold
and dead gold, and big crimson polka
dots, and red and barred scarfs, and
hardly any two alike. Now he is trying,
as he gazes upon them, to decide which
he will have. He stood at similar
window two blocks above, trying to make
I'D his mind as to which tie would look
prettiest on him or he on it, and he came
away unable to make up that little mind.
He has gazed at the scarfs in this win
dow for fully ten minutes. Perhaps
here he will not be able to make up his
mind either. Poor man. How it dis
tresses him. But he is not vain as a
woman or a peacock. Oh, no. Now
he goes on his weary way along broad
way. There He stops at another
scarf and necktie window. So he spends
half his afternoon. But he is not vain.
Oh, no !-Nep York Graphic.

Hrs CASE WAS CORRECTLY dag.
NosED.-Just as a C. B. and @. train
stopped at Galesburg one day recently,
and everything was still for moment,
man sitting near the forward end Of the
car was heard to grosn as though in ter.
rible anguish. Some Of the passengers
went over to him and found him speech
less. One of the men pulled out flask
of brandy, and two Others, prying open
his teeth, forced about pint Of liquor
down his diaphragm. He Immediately
revived.
"Do you feel better now' ;" inquired
the man with the brandy. a
eyes, SIR" was the reply.
"What do you think was the matter
with your"

HEALTH OF HORSES.

The health and comfort of horses have
of late years been greatly improved by
the better construction of stables. They
are made more roomy and lofty, and pro-
vided with means of thorough ventilation.
On many new stables lofts are done away
with. or the floor of the loft is kept well
above the horses heads, and ample shafts
are introduced to convey away foul air.
By perforated bricks and gratings under
the managers, and elsewhere round the
walls, and only by windows and ventila-
tors, abundance of pure air is secured
for the horses while being introduced in
moderate amount, and from various di-
rections, it comes in without draught.
Too much draught is almost an unknown
stable luxury. To secure constant
supply of pure air, horses require more
cubic space than they generally enjoy.
Even when animals are stabbed only at
night, minimum of 1920 cubic feet
should be allowed. In England the
newer cavalry barracks give min
umum of 1,5os with a ground area
of fully 80 square feet per horse and
the best hunting and carriage horse
stables have more,-Journal of Chem,s-
frU

THE MEXICAN MUSTANG.

Rev. w. H. H. Murray, who has en-
gagged in horse breeding in Texas, is
highly pleased with the mustangs which
he finds there. Mr.. Murray is one OF
the best of judges of horses, and knows
a good one when he sees it. He thinks
that the tough little mustangs are the
right stock from which to breed an i'm
proved race of horses. He declares that
they trace their origin back to Ga race OF
equine kings and queens" and have only
deteriorated under hard usage. 81 have
seen these little sO0-pound horses" he
says, "travel eighty miles with lso-
pound man up, under Southern sun, in
ride across country without roadways,
from sun to sun, and that, too, with lit
tie grain, perhaps nothing but the grass
they can get from the prairie at night.
Many of them pace-pace like the wind
pace so fast that they play with you
on the prairie, though you have blood
ed mount that can run like grey hound.
Others trot-trot naturally-with stiles
well out and perfect knee action, and
will do nothing but trot, however hard
pressed. have raced through the prai-
RE grasses and flowers at the rump Of q
mustang stallion fifteen and half hands
high, and blood bay in color, with tail
black as night and that would sweep the
ground foot, and been unable to break
him from his trot or range up to his side,
although my mount was three quarter
bred mare of 100 pounds weight, that
took to the chase with her eyes blazing
and ears laid back in way that plainly
told her rider that she felt good deal as
he did Mr.. Murray advises cross
from thoroughbred stallion, believing
that it would increase the size without
losing toughness, and produce the best
saddle horses as well as trotters.

MARYs LAMB ON A NEW PRIN-
CIPI,E

Mollis had little ram Is black as =
rubber shoe, and everywhere that Mol
lie went he emigratad too.
He went with her to church one day
= the folks hilarious grew to see him
walk demursly into Deacon Aliens pew.
The worthy deacon quickly let his an
gry passions rise, and gave it an unchr's-
tian kick between the sad brown eyes.
This landed rammy in the sisle; the
deacon followed fast, and raised his foot
again alas that first kick was his last.
For Mr.. Sheep walked slowly back
about rod It's said, and ere the deacon
could retreat be stood him on his head.
The congregation then arose and went
for that ere sheep; several well-directsd
butts just piled them in heap.
Then rushed they straightway for the
door with curses long and loud, while
ranmy struck the hindmost man and
showed him through the crowd.
