Amy Man Who Has a DoIInr,
Aud wants to be rid of debility. dyspepsia or
any OF those wasting diseases which drag peo-
pie down and make them wretched, can invest
his money wisely in bottle of Browns Iron
Bitters. Mr.. Minnix, of Anacostia, D. c.,
says, there is no question about it, Browns
Iron Bitters ia the best thing in the world to
tone person up. 1t improved my appetite
and restored my health" When you consider
that for the price of good dinner you can buy
what will enable you to enjoy your dinners, it
seems pity to go without Browns Iron Bit
tiers.

MIR. A. NICHOLS, of this place, says he suf-

1t is a sorrowful spectacle when man has
abandoned all the pleasures of life, the victim
OF suffering and disease. Charles Northrop,
Of Woodmont, Conn.,, who had been afflicted
with rheumatism for years, had made up his
mind that he would be obliged to suffer the
remainder of his days. He was advised to try
Athlophoros, and now when be has any pain
he takes q dose of the great specific, and by
this means keeps his enemy at bay and enjoys
life.
A truth with two applications: There are
always breakers around the banks.

Harness.

How often does it happen to see FARM
ers working their horses to wagons,
plows, or carts, with harness SO ill-tit-
ting, tattered and patched, that the
sight at once illicits pity from any human
person? For such neglect. there is no
excuse, as the amount of harness neces-
sary for blowing is so small that only
the most careless and sloYenly farmer
has any excuse to offer. Wagon and
cart harness are more elaborate and
complicated, yet even they are simple
enough to be manufactured at home, if
certain portions are purchased at the
saddlers. such as buckles. rings, traces
and names Collars, best suited to our
Southern climate, are made OF shucks;
these are easily procured, there being
many persons in every neighborhood
who are very adept in making them,
and when made to fit, are smooth, and
with them the shoulders never become
schafed, and being SO cheap, can be re-
placed as often as necessary.
Nothing betokens poor improVident
farmer sooner than slouchy harness, to
say nothing of the damage they infiict
upon their poor dumb brutes. When
an animal is required to labor. the own
er should compare his case to theirs.
For instance, how would man like to
follow pillow all day with shoes which
pinched his feet, or which had a rock in
them? Yet he would not suffer any
more than the animal with a collar too
small, or a back-band which CALLED his
back, or one trace shorter than the 9th
er; but unfortunately there are too
many who apparently care nothing for
these details, though in attending to
them depends in great degree their
success.
On well regulated farms there is at
tached to each barn or stable a harness
room, where after being used, the har-
ness is carefully hung upon pegs. there
to remain until wanted; when a rainy
day comes, then it is oyerhauled, mend
ed and oiled, BY this means, they not
only last longer, but are more comfort
able for the horses, and are proofs of a
thrifty management. When harness
is purchased complete, cheapness is not
always wise consideration, because a
good set made of well-tanned leather,
properly put together, win in careful
! hands outlast two or three Of the fiimsy
made ones. --S0at.lter71 Industries.

A Saratoga Marvel.

One of the maryels at Saratoga this
season was a couple from the South,
who have been regular visitors for four
teen seasons. 8These two have been
married for tweptv-four years, but the
wife still addresses the husband as
'.dear'' and he still calls her darling"
and is quite as attentive and deferential
to her as he is to the wives of other
men. They are both afable and soci-
able, fond of company, but they always
are together and always enjoy every
thing in common The weary hus-
bands who are always inventing some
excuse to avoid attendance on their
families look at him with unbounded
curiosity. and surprise, while she is
gazed at with unconcealed envy by
her less fortunate sisters. IN. 7, Times.

Feeding Horses by Clock Work. !,

Nearly two years ago, as had agreed
to feed the horse of relative at five
o'clock a. M, so that the animal would
be ready for service at half-past six,
and as the stable was located at q dis
lance of half mile from my residence,
/ constructed rude but efficient device
to aid in feeding the horse precisely
at five o'clock every morning without
the presence of any person (not patent
ed nor patentable.) At one side of the
stall, I hung lid with hinges over the
top of the small feed manger One
end of the lid extended about a foot in
to the feed room. To make the end
of the lid in tie feed room heavy
enough to 90 down and thus open the
Manager, a piece of iron was attached
to the end of the lid making that end
in the feed room about one pound heav-
Ter than the part of the lid that covered
the manger. An alarm clock was then
placed in cupbard, fastened to the
side of the wall i'll the feed room. and
a half inch hole was bored up through
the bottom of the cupboard and through
the bottom of the clock case directly
beneath the large wheel of the alarm
gearing. Then small wire, about as
large as a coarse horse hair, was at
tached TO the heavier end of the lid to
the manger, while a long loop was
made at the other end of the wire. At
evening | fed the horse his evening
meal in his proper Manager, and put
ting the mess.for morning in the other
manager, the Topped end Of the wire was
put through the hole in the bottom OF
the clock case. and the loop was hooked
on one Of the teeth or cogs Of the large
wheel. The wire was made just long
enough to hold up the heavier end OF
the lid in horizontal position, thus
closing the manager. The moment the
alarm wheels started. ate five o'clock.
the wire loop slipped off the cog and
the lid of the manger opened and stood
erect, so that the horse could eat. This
rude device never failed to open the lid
precisely at the appointed hour. Icould
feed the horse with absolute certainty
at any other hour, though | were two
hundred miles away from the stables
One clock would open half a dozen lids
as well as one.-Sercno EdsOGrds Todd,

Fascinated by an Alligator.

was at the Zoo yesterday and saw
something which is worthy of being
mentioned. One of the gulls entered
the pond where the alligator was c4azily
propelling himself about and proceeded
to enjoy itself in its native elemenS1.
But the eye OF the scaly monster was
upon it and the mesmeric influence of
its glance was soon felt It was i'm
possible for the gull to resist the baleful
glare of the saurian; inch by inch it
was attracted to the alligator, powerless
TO resist the fascination, until it came
close enough for the reptile to open its
mammoth jaws and gulp down the
luckless bird. After having devoured
its prey the alligator sank to the bottom
to digest its meal. - Toronto Mail.

1T is better to have all the ground
in an orchard occupied with vegetables
that can be eaten than to allow any part
of it to grow up with weeds. Edible
plants do not iniure the soil any more
than weeds do, and if the first are not
planted the last will be sure to grow
unless the hoe is frequeutly used. Ctn-
