Whatever good points horse may
acquire through training and develop
ment in the hands of his owner, the
Pittsburgh Stock1naa thinks it is certain
that he must get his start for all this
through Inheritance. Disposition, con-
stitution, form, style, etc, must depend
largely on ancestry; and if this be OBJ
jectionable there can be little hope of
accomplishing much with the progeny.
Get good start by breeding the best to

have everything to work upon.

They come from haunts of butchers stern
From every grocers alley.
They meet your gaze at every turn
And dash your hopes totally;
By thirty saints you ventyour rage,
And rue you had not tarried,
Ere you had left the single stage,
And-witless haste got married.
In vain, alasl too late you VOW
Some more to do it, neverl
For cash may come and cash may go,
Those bills waltz in forever.
They wander in on washing day,
BY singles and by doubles;
They change your life from grave to gay
And multiply your troubles;
And then your wife begins to fret
And prophesy disaster;
You dare not speak right out, and yet
You wished you hadn't asked her.
She'll chatter, chatter, told you So"
Till all your toe-nails shiyer,
For well you know your cash must go,
Those bills waltz in forever.
You slip about and in and out
To try and raise the weather,
And while you slip-both slim and stout
Those bills march in together.
Yes, dress bills, shoe bills, fast and free,
jog in upon a canter,
With now and then plumbers fee
To knock you out instanter;
Till, luekless woel your fate you throw
At last on tripe and liver,
For cash may come and cash may go,
Those bills waltz in forever.
Too proud TO beg and scared to steal
(The landlords claims are shoving),
Again you skip because you feel
It's cheaper TO be moving.
You rip and tear, give lip and swear,
The baby yells crescedo,
Till half insane, you scarce forbear
To throw him out the window.
And when, at last in vain you try
Your cheek as legal tender,
What wonder if you go it high
And strike out on q bender2
What marvel if a header you
Should tako in yonder river,
When for certainty you know
Those bills waltz in forever?

How a BuxOm Widow Got Married

A widow, young, gcod-looking and
lively had many admirers, but she was
so impartial that when, just about a
year from her husbands death, she
gave public invitations to her wedding,
nobody could tell whether the favoritt
one was a certain widower, bachelor
or one of two young men, and, to keel
the secret, she declared she would be
married in barn of hers in the dark
The minister, too, entered into the spirit
of the affair, and to mystify the people
still more the bride entered the barr
alone at one door and the groom at an
other. There were at least two hun
dred present. The ceremony proceeded
in darkness, and at its close the crowd
broke for the bride and carried her
home in triumph in chair. But hel
began the trouble, the widower, tn
bachelor and the two young men each
swore that he held the widows plump
hand and was married to her; the crowd
could not decide, the minister didn't
know and the widow was puzzled, for
all claimed to be engaged to her, for al
though the widower was her choice, he
might have been jolted aside; indeed,
he acknowledged that somebody tried
to choke him in the dark, The four
men fought but thf1t didn't settle it.
The guest du cked two of them in the
brook, but still no light. Finally, the
widoWer compromised with the others
by giving them one hundred pounds
each, and reigned as her lord. The af-
fair has never been explained. One OF
the young men is married, but still de-
clares he was married to Widow Dods-
worth in the big barn. The other also
protests that he is her lawful husband
The bachelor is dead, but maintained to
the end: Il married her-I ought to
have her. "-LOndon World.

Salt and Mustard.


DR.. Hall. of the Journal of Health,
has the following to say about the re-
medal properties of salt and mustard:
Half a teaspoonful OF common table
salt dissolved in little cold water, and
drank, will Instantly relieve .'heart-
burn" or dyspepsia. If taken every
morning before breakfast, increasing
the quantity gradually to a teaspocnful
OF salt and tumbler of water, it will,
in few days, cure any ordinary case of
dyspepsia, If, at the same time due at
tention is paid to the diet. There is no
better remedy than the above, for con-
stipation. AS a gargle for sore throat,
it is equal to chlorate Of potash, and is
entirely safe. 1t may be used as often
as desired, and if a little is swallowed
each time, it will have a beneficial eff
feet on the throat, by cleansing it, and
by allaying the irritation. In doses of
one to four teaspoonfuls in half pint
to a pint of tepid water, it acts prompt.
ly as an emetic; and in cases of poison
ing is always at hand. 1t is an excel
lent remedy for bites and stings of in
sects. 1t is valuable astringent in
hemorrhages, particularly for Bleeding
after the extraction Of teeth. 1t has
both cleansing and healing properties,
and is therefore most excellent appli-
cation for superficial liberation.
Mustard is another valuable remedy.
No family should be without it. Two
or three teaspoonfuls of ground
mustard, stirred into half a pint of
water, acts as an emetic very prompt
ly, and is milder and easier to take
than salt and water. Equal parts of
ground mustard and flour or meal,
made into a paste with warm water,
| and spread on q thin piece of muslin,
with another piece of muslin laid over
it, forms the often indispensable SINUS

utes over the 'spit of the stomach =
For all internal pains and congestions,
there is no remedy of such general util-
| lty. 1t acts as a cOunter-irritant, by
drawing the blood to the surface; hence
in severe cases of Group, a small mus
tard plaster should be applied to the
back of the child's neck. The same
treatment will relieve almost any case
of headache. A mustard plaster should
be moved about over the place to be
acted upon, for if left too long in one
place it is liable to blister. A mustard
plaster acts as well when at consider.
able distance from the affected part
An excellent substitute for mustard
plasters is what is known as Mustard
Leaves. They come dozen In box,
and are about four of five inches in
size; they are perfectly dry and will
keep for long time. For use, it is on
ly necessary to dip one into dish of
water for minute and then apply it.

Authenticated Potatoes.

In October of last year asked some
questions about planting potatoes, which
were answered in the Journal, and ]
was requested to send the results of the
experiments that l was then about to
try. The potatoes were planted the
first week in October about six inches
deep, they were well covered with dry,
decayed manure. and the holes were
then filled with soil. The tubers were
not cut, and the variety was Early Rose
In due time the shoots appeared, and
were much injured by the late frosts;
the foliage never looked healthy after,
and there were ten per cent. blanks in
the rows. The potatoes were ready
to lift the second week in July, but
the crop was not heavy, many of
the tubers being small; most Of the
large tubers very ill-shaped, and when
cooked they were close in substance,
which | attributed to deep planting.
So much for autumn planted potatoes.
By way of test, at the end of March ]
planted one row of the same variety
close to the others. The frost did not
affect them, as they were not SO for
ward, and it was surprising how they
grew and took the lead. There was NOT
a blank il the row, and they were ready
to lift the first week in July, the crop
being heavier, the tubers larger, with
fewer small ones amongst them, than
was the case with the autumn planted
potatoes; they were well shaped, and
when cooked were foury. The differ
ence | attribute to late and shallow
planting. They had no check, the tubers
were Just covered, and the sun ripened
them. - W5m5leoo,a, in journal of Horti-
