HIS New Trousers str,pned Fro

RAAs eWTrousers Stripped From Him.
 Frederick H. Sprague, modest young maohinist employed in the New Haven Man ufacturing company, was at work yesterday with new pair of trousers. He stooped
 down to pick up something, when his new trousers were caught in the gearing of ma chine and in an instant there followed great pulling, ripping and tearing of buttons, and the trousers flew around the machine while Frederick stood in the midst of his astound- ed shopmates without vestige of pair of pants about him. It was narrow escape

His Fightteth Birthday.

 The eightieth birthday of MT. Sidney Staples, of Easton, was very happily cele- brated recently. There were representatives of the family present from Easton, West port, Tarifvi1le, Hartford, New York and Brooklyn; and the house, which was gaily decorated with bunting and flowers, seemed hardly able to hold the guests. A fine din ner was served. MT. Staples was formerly of Bridgeport, and is sunny, happy old man, looking no more than sixty. His brother, MT. Horace Staples, of Westport, who contributed greatly to the interest of the occasion by his amusing "reminiscences of the early days of himself and host, has already passed his eighty-second year, and the average age of all the brothers and sisters, four of whom are still living, is over 81.

DIlt Arp on Women.

There is no record anywhere in
any history ola happy married state
where a man had more than one
wife. Lamech had two, but the
scripture says nothing mere about
him. Adam didn't have but one.
and Noah one, and they started the
business of peoPllng the world. Old
Father Abraham had one. and when
he took another on the sly, old Aunt
Sarah got after him and she failed
cut the second one with a thrash
pole and run her of. Jacob had
two, and if ever a man deserved two
he did but they didn't get along
well, even though they were sisters.
Moses didn't have but one. King
David had several, but he was cursed
with EN-, and actually committed
murder to get one of EN-, and lived
in anguish ever after, for be said,
" My sin is ever before me- Old
Solomon must have had a fearful
time of it, for he had thousand,
and they kept him so harrassed and
bedeviled that be flew to his ink
stand and wrote that he had found
one good man, but a good woman
in a thousand he had not found.
OF course not. How could q woman
be good when she was only thous-
andth part of . wife? But Solomon
repented of his folly and said it was
all vanity, and advised all men to
" live joyfully with the wife whom
thou lowest" and to beware of
strange women | never think of
those surplus wives who are sealed
to the Morinons without a feeling of
sadness and pity, for svery new one
caused the others a pang of shame.
They are all in prison, and their de-
pendence is like that of the Gagged
bird that tamely looks to its keeper
for food. There is no escape, for
woman is a proud creature, and will
suffer in silence rather tFan parade
her folly to the world. Did YOU ever
notice how woman will suffer and
be strong, especially if she has a
child or children to keep her COM
panv ?" Bill Arp, in Atlanta

Decay Of the Duue.

Artemus Ward, returning to the
"bnzzum ov his family, at Baldwins-
vile, Injeanny," found his daughter
sitting at the piano singing i" Why
Do the Summer Roses Fade? p and
he hazarded the opinion" bekoz
it's thare little biz-let 'em fade
Whether this is the correct an.
swer to the conundrum or not, it is
certain that all fresh, tender sound
things, must wilt away and vanish.
So we are now notified that the
Dude must 60.
Just as we have really learned to
know him, to become familiar with
his simple little ways, and his harm
less idiocies of manner and costume
we are informed that fashion has de-
creed his extinction. He has had
his little day of bud and blossom,
and is now fading into the sere and
yellow leaf.
Already the major part of the true
Dudes have abandoned most of the
distinctive garb and uniform of the
order. The rolled-brim hat, the
white CATERS, the toothpick shoes,
and the abbreviated top coat" are
no longer signs whereby we may
know with any degree of certainty
the youth of between twenty aud
twenty-seven, whsse inheritance of
money and brains is clearly out of
proportion.
The,impecunious dry-goods clerk,
and even the low. .salaried elevator
boy has caught on 10 these Pc
culiarities ofpersonal attire, and now
appears arrayed as erstwhile were
thelistless and languid young drones
whose daily bread and fine raiment
were provided for them by their
fathers frugality and thrift.
This is sufficient. The Dudes
complacency was never ruffled in the
least by the merciless flood of ridi-
cule poured out upon him, but he
fades like morning frosts at the first
sun, when he finds his little peCul-
iarities successfully initiated by
"cads" who commit the crime of
earning their own living.
Not that we are rid of the young
man himself. We shall always have
him, as long as rich men go on do
ing as they have done since the be-
ginning of time-that is, expending
all their brains in getting wealth,
and having none left to communi-
cate to their offspring. The only
difference will be that next year they
will not be called Dudes, but be des-
ignated by some other bit of slang,
Just as they will be distinguished by
some other extravagances of dress
and denortment- Toledo Blade.

Stock Management.

The farmer should keep enough
stock to consume all the hay, grain
and surplus produce that is raised
on the farm, as by so doing he will
generally get a better price for what
he raises, and it will be much easier
marketed. The farmer should guard
against overstOcking, which is a
prominent fault with those farmers
who estimate their profits by the
number OF cows and hogs they have
without regard to the condition they
are in. Care should be exercised in
the selection of stock. Having com-
menced, it costs much to retraee
ones steps. The farmer who ex-
pends his money for poor, degener-
ate stock simply because they are
cheap can be called anything but
prudent, and has surely spent his
money almost, if not quite, uselessly.
First determine what breed of stock
suits you best. and after you have
commenced, stick to your line of
breeding. Do not be influenced bv
all that you may hear or read and
keep changing. Don't buy inditfer-
ent stock because they have a good
pedigree. believing what some may
tell YOU, viz: That they have good
blood in them, but that they have
had bad usage, and that by caring
for them rightly you may breed
them up. Do not practice in-and-
in breeding, for few make a success,
although fine stock are produced by
those who know how far to carry
it. Always feed well hut do not
overfeed Do not spoil your best
stock by overfeeding in order to
compete for a premium. Provide
good shelter for your stock. 1t Is
absurd to suppose that stock will do
well exposed to all extremes with
out a shelter. Some will winter and
lay on fat, but they will fatten Il
good deal faster, and with less food,
when they have a good warm shed.
Do not invest dollar in stock un-
less you intend to take good care of
it, summer and winter, hot or cold.
When they need your care give it to
them.

\ Confederate Anecdote.

General Joseph f. Johnston, who
commanded the Confederate forces
engaged in resisting the advance
upon Atlanta, once narrated the fol-
lowing incident, which well illustra-
ted the impression Sherman had
made upoa the minds of the South
ern soldiery at that time as COM
mander of resources and ready eX-
pedients
Johnson stood on Kenesaw
mountain watching with his glass
the movement of his enemy's wagon
trains on the great plain to the
northward. A staff officer came rid
ing up with the news that the rebel
cavalry had got in the rear of Sher-
mans army and had burned anum-
Der of railroad bridges. The officer
had been forced to make detOur OF
two days to get around the Union
army. Scarcely had he finished
speaking when a whistle was heard,
and a moving train appeared in the
distance, showing that Sherman had
already rebuilt the bridges and re-
opened his communications. Walk
ing past group of soldiers lounging
in the shade, a few minutes later, the
General overheard them discussing
Sherman's chances of success. Said
one of them
We'll make it a Moscow cam
paign and destroy his whole army"
How can you make it Moscow
campaign without any snow p ask
ed his less enthusiastic comrade.
II mean that we'll cut his COM
munications, destroy everything,
and starve him cut. Well burn all
the bridges"
Don't you know that he carries
duplicate bridges along with him q
We'll well blow up the big tunnel.
"Oh, hellT exclaimed the other
man, with look of disgust, you
don't know old Tecumseh Sherman.
He's got duplicate tunnel, too.
