Corn VS.. Oats for Horses.

The comparative value of corn and oats
as food for horses may be stated as fol-
lows: Corn is deficient in many ele-
ments of nutrition so necessarily for re-
cuperating the constant wear and tear
which necessarily takes place in the body
of living animal. On this account,
horses which are exclusively fed on corn
and hay do not receive that kind of nour.
ishment which appears Necessary for the
due support and maintenance of the ami
NAL fabric hence we must not be sur
prised that corn-fed horses show eviden'
ces of being languid, by sweating profuse-
ly while being worked, lack Of vitality,
etc. Oats, on the contrary, contain more
of the essential elements of nutrition than
any other article of food which can be
fed with impunity to horses. They are are
decidedly nutritious. They are the
cheapest because there is less risk in
feeding them, and experience has proved
that horses properly fed on oats and timo:
thy hay, with regular exercise, good
grooming and proper sanitary regula-
tions, can be brought to the highest state
of physical culture, and can perform more
work with less evidence of fatigue than
when fed On any other article of food

4 1 Stage Robbers Dilemma.

Black Bart tells of one experience he
had in Northern California which came
near stopping his career as highway.
Iaan. He had interviewed party of
travellers by stage and got a small haul
for his trouble. After starting the Stage
ON, with the gentle admonition to the
driver to go on and never look back or
he would drop him, he, as was his Gus.
tom, pitched into the brush. He had
not been walking very long when he
heard voices behind him, and, looking
down the mountain side, could see several
horsemen and footmen coming in his
direction at a lively gait. fhey were
gaining. on him very fast, and he: was
compeliedto do somthing very suddenly
or be captured, and his only chance for
escape was to secrete himself before they
caught sight of him.
He began looking about him and no.
ticed large, hollow fir log which lay on
the ground. Plunging into it head first
just before the vigilants came into sight,
he crawled to the frather end of the hole,
but he discovered to his horror that he
had company which, by the peculiar odor
emitted, he concluded was pole. .cat-in
fact, he knew it was. 1t was time for
tears, but not for retreat, and he lay
there in mortal agony and heard his
pursuers comeup and sit down on the log,
while their dog tried to make the &C.
quaintance Of the fragrant occupant OF
the hole in the log. The smell finally
drove them away and Bart crawled hur.
riedly out, not only sick al heart and the
world, but terribly sick at the stomach.
He declares that he did not get over the
effects of; his experience in thu log for
three months afterward, and that it
nearly cured himSof bis propensity for
robbing stages.-SSt,ocklon (Cat) Lndspen-

Let It Alone.

Some men who get drunk and carry
pistols have given sorry Christmas gifts
to their families. AS the new year ap.
proaches men are accustomed to make
pledges. Some of them may be the more
encouraged to do 80 by reading the fol-
lowing paragraph from Washington
correspondents letter:
''Three years ago, I saw one of the
most brilliant members of the Senate
staggering drunk in front of Willard's
Hotel. The other day l saw that he left
his champagne untouched at dinner.
Said he: I haven't touched alcohol in
any form for three years. l woke up one
morning realizing that pretty much all
the temperance lecturers have said was
true, ard I simply laid to myself that /
have had enough. And I have. 1 have
never seen the time from that day to this
that 1 have not had repuguance for
liquor Garland, the learned lawyer
from Arkansas, is teetotaler Said he:
I was passing by the cemetery near my
home one day, and I saw the graves of a
dozen brilliant men who had begun life
with me, every one of them hastened to
his end by whiskey. l made up my
mind that / had drunk my share and
stopped. "-Augusta Chronicle and Con-
stitutionaist.

Putting o.. a Poultice.

A little Norwalk boy got a silver in
his foot, and a motion to poultice the
wound, made by his mother and seconded
by his grandmother, was carried in spite
Of his objections. He kicked and
screamed, and protested that he would
not submit to any such indignity, but
the majority against him was two to one,
and the poultice was made ready. It
was arranged that the grandmother
should apply the poultice while the
patients mother stood over him with q
stick with authority and instructions to
apply that also il be made the least show
of resistance.
When all was ready the youugster was
placed on the bed and operations began.
As the hot poultice touched the boys
foot, he opened his mouth to say some
thing, but his mother, with the stick,
awed him into silence. Again the boy
strove to make himself heard, aud again
the upraised stick warned him to keep
quiet. In few short minutes the poul-
tice was firmly in place and >the boy was
tucked up in bed there to remain until
the medicine had done its work. As the
urchin's tormentors moved away, shrill,
small voice came from under the bed
clothes:

Both Bills We're Paid.

A gloomy story is told of the we'll.
known engineer, William A.. Sweet, OF
Syracuse. Casually nesting a prominent
lawyer one day, brief conversation
ensued, in the course of which Mr..
Sweet happened to ask "the judge" what
he though Of some question they were
discussing, without really meaning to
ask legal advice in the usual way. Soon
afterward Mr.. Sweet received bill from
the judge "for legal advice, $l,0O0,"
which he paid promptly without word
of complaint.
Time passed on, and one day the judge
who was also heavily interested in salt
manufacture, needed some. mechanical
advice about some machinery, which was
not running satisfactorily, and asked Mr.
Sweet to look at the machines and tell
what was needed. Mr.. Sweet looked
chem over for two or three hours, and
indicated the cause of the trouble.
When he went home he promptly made
4 ont q bill against the judge; for "mechan.
tical advice, 81 SOC, !" and the bill was duly
paid, furnishing probably one of the few
instances on record in which mechanics
e7sr got ahead of the law.-.American

Our Drinks.

The Popular Science News has an arti-
Gle ON the above subject, of which we
give the chief points.
Water is essential to all forms of life.
No other fluid can be found in healthy
human organization. It is the only
drink, which can be used without doing
violence, in some degree, to mans best
physical welfare.
Tea and coffee, in moderate quantities,
do not, IN any marked degree, influence
vital activity unfavorably. The feeble
and nervous, however, cannot use either
of these. beverages without serious dis
comfort or injury.
"As to alcohol, it would be better for
the world ifithe art of producing it
!. should suddenly be lost, and the process
be forever lost. We do not need it in
any of its forms neither the physician,
chemist, nor artisan absolutely needs it
: In any department. of his calling; and
this statement we make advisedly, after
full deliberation, taking into view our
present knowledge of medicine in the
arts"
It is probable that very many rigid
observers Of hygienic laws do not use
water freely enough. It's possible that
we may, BY habit, so modify the sensa-
tion OF thirst, that it, in large degree,
ceases to be q safe guide Of our need.
We have seen many instances of illness
which were cured by resorting to the
freer use of water It supplies to the
system the needed amount Of liquid to
maintain liquor process. and assist in
repairing tissue waste. It is constantly
passing out of the system through the
lungs, skin and Kidneys, and if the sup.
ply is inadequate to the demand, morbid
conditions ensue. Constipation often
results from such deficiency, and reme-
dy in many cases would be the drinking
Of e-half pint of tepid water before
breakfast. Much ice water taken at meal
time is injurious. It arrests prompt
digestion, the. latter requiring increased
hest. Iced water should at all times be
used with moderation.

How to Manage a Husband.

Put down bedroom carpets late in the
day, when it is too dark to see where
you drop your tacks. When your hus-
band gets up at night and goes searching
around for the paregoric he will find
them and perhaps pick them up for you.
In family of children it usually hap.
pens that one or two are bad tempered
and very hard to manage. Never lose
an opportunity of reminding your hus-
band that they do not bear the slightest
resemblance to any member of your fam
lily. This will keep him from fancying
that they take after you.
1t is very necessary when business
man comes home after day of harass-
ing care and continued struggles with
powerful competitors tat his mind
should be distracted from such subjects.
The best way to accomplish this is to
spend the evening telling him about the
incapacity and impudence Of your ser.
wants.
Always keep the love letters your hus-
band wrote you before marriage in
well.locked iron box in the darkest cor.
ner of the attic. Nothing puts man in
such a temper as to stumble across his
former ef'usions and read few pages of
them. Some men under such circum-
stances have been known to kick them
selves down stsirs and be seriously
injured.
Always be in some far away part of
the house when your husband comes in
and let him hunt you up. If he finds
you in the lumber room covered with
dust and dirt, slashing around with wet
cloth in your hands, he will know that
you are faithfully doing your "dooty."
If you should meet him in the hall with
neatly arranged hair and smiling, up
turned face, he might imagine that you
had been lounging in the psrlor all day
reading French novels.

How Wooden Spools are Made.

The birch is first sawed into sticks
four or FIVE feet long and seven.eighths
of an inch to three inches square, ac-
cording to the size of the spool to be
produced. These sticks are thoroughly
seasoned. They are sawed into short
blocks, and the blocks are dried in hot
air kiln. At the time they are sawed a
hole is bored through them. One whirl
of the little block against sharp knives,
shaped by pattern, makes the spool, at
the rate of one per second. A small boy
feeds the spool machine, simply placing
the blocks in spout and throwing out
the knotty or defective stock. The ma
chine is automatic, but cannot do the
sorting. The spools are revolyed rapidly
in drums and polish themselves. For
some purposes they are dyed yellow, red
or black. They are made in thousands
of shapes and sizes. When one sees on
spool of thread 900 yard" or 1900
yards" these words do not signify that
the thread has been measured, but that
the spool has been gauged and is sup
posed to contain so much thread. When
q silk or linen or cotton firm wants a
spool made it sends pattern to the
spool maker. This pattern gives the
size and shape of the barrel and the head
and bevel. These patterns determine the
amount of thread that the spool will
hold. Mr.. Dwelley's factory turns out
100000 gross of spools Ter day, and con-
sumea $500 cords of birch annually. His
years spools are worth $4,000. Thirty
five hands are employed in the mill.
During the winter, 24O wood.choppers
are sometimes employed. Mr.. Dwelley
is an inventor and machinist. He in
vented, designed and made every ma
chine in his shop.-Lewiston 1fe.) Jour-

What q Railroad Commission Should
Be.


1t is folly for Legislature to give to
any set of men the power to prescribe
rates for freight and fares for passengers
on railroads. 1t may properly enough
fix maximum limits therefor, pass laws to
prevent determinations and give Rail
road Commissioners power to institute
proper proceedings for their enforcement.
This is all the power possessed by the
Massachusetts Commission, which is the
most perfect yet devised by any State.
That Commission recommends railroads
to do certain things and such recommen-
dation is always sufficient for the correc-
tion of abuses. If not needed, the Leg
islature, on the complaint of the Com
missionera, would be prompt to apply a
remedy. But that is never necessary
