"A Traveller of Selma, Ala, who re-
Gently visited the Mammoth Cave in
Kentucky, returned to his home, taking
with him as earnestly a couple of eve
less fish that are found in the subterra-
mean river there. The little finnies
are as lively in their glass river as if in
their native waters. They are perfectly
white, have only the merestscars where
eyes ought to be, belong to the catfish
family. and are only two inches long.

country: THE women of America are
all far more beautiful than any others
We have seen. Il notice most women
wear black clothes; many wear blue.

very commonly worn. Some women
wear their hats and bonnets tilted back,

If young married couples would fol-
low the domestic plan laid down by Sem
ator Vance, of North Carolina, there
would be less contention in households,
and, perhaps, fewer divorces in courts.
He said to his second wife shortly after

There is an awful warning in the
following case, which recently happened
in Danbury, n. c., to persons who use
Gods name in vain. Mr. Smith, to-
bacco farmer, who lives in Danbury,
some days ago was in an almost insane
rage over the damage to his fine crop
by the rains and winds, and he walked
over his plantation swearing and ours
ing the Almighty. His language was
so terrible that several laborers who
were with him left, when, as he was
about to utter frightful imprecation,
he fell yoiceless and as if dead. His
case is puzzle to the physicians, who
can do nothing whatever to relieve him
from his difliculty.-St Louis Post.
Bishop Warren, of the Methodist
Church, is enthusiastic over American
progress. He proudly declares that our
country is one that in hundred years
has taken a respectable rank in litera-
ture; that has made fourteen inventions
which have gone wherever civilization
has gone, while all the rest of the world
has not made half that number of equal
importance; that has revolutionized land
warfare once and naval warfare twice
that has solved social problems which
| the world has Numbered over for ages
that has abolished feudalism and serf
dom; that, taking the Bible declaration
that God has made of one blood all the
nations, has made one family out o
Representatives of every kindred anC
tongue and people and nation that ha'
founded its institutions on the rights o
man and the laws of God. and that ha
ALREADY driven a wedge of republican

A Mules Life-Term.

What is the longest term of a mules
lifeP The writer once knew a mule
whose age was satisfactorily proved to
to be forty-five years, and at that age
the animal was turned out into the
woods to die late in the fall in Northern
Michigan, on the completion of a rail
road job on which it had been work
ing. In the spring the mule was fonnd
at farmers gate in very fair condi-
ton, having browsed around in the
woods all the winter. 7 was taken in
and was able to do light work around
the farm for some years longer. What
its later history has been is not known.
Perhaps it still lives. This mule story
is surpassed by the following: Lieuten-
ant Koebbe, stationed at Mount Yer
non Barracks, Alabama, has reported
to the War Department, that white
mule which has been at that post for
fOrty-tive years, is about to be sold,
and the officers asked permission to
buy him and keep him at their own ex-
pense. The petition went through the
regular channels, and General Sherman
submitted the case to the Secretary of
War with the following report:
/ have seen that mule, and whether
true or false, the soldiers believe it was
left at Big Spring, where Mount Yer
non Barracks now are, at the time
General Jackson's army camped there,
about 1890. Tradition says it was
once sorrel, but now it is white from
age. The Quartermaster' Department
will be charged with ingratitude 4, that
mule is sold or the care of maintaining
it thrown on the charitable officers of
the post. 1 advise it to be kept in the
department, fed and maintained till
death. L think that mule was at Fort
Morgan, Mobile Point, when L was
there in 1912.
The Secretary of War thereupon
made the following order:
Let this mule be kept and well cared
for as long as he lives"
No doubt this mule was once owned
by General Washington. But, strange
as the story may be, it does not answer
the question above propounded.-M Y.

THE Brooklyn Eagle says: "The diff
ference between a programme of i'm
mediate free trade and a programme of
tariff reform is asBgreat as the differ
ence between tearing up tree by the
roots and merely looping off its dead
branches. The difference between the
policy of Mr.. Carlisle and the policy of
Mr.. Randall is as great as the difference
between removing the lifeless limbs
and allowing them to remain. Our usu-
ally clear-sighted contemporary, the
Sun, persists in the declaration that it
cannot see this difference. We live in
the faith that its vision will grow clear
er as the mists of prejudice and disap-
pOintment vanish"
