A Consistent Prexaricatn.

Specai to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Oct. 29-Higgins the motor
ious Appointment clerk of the Treasury is well
known in Washington as one of the most accom-
plished prevaricators who has ever held public
position. To-day ne was coming down the ele~
vator with a couple of ladies and gentlemen
The party had been up to Higgins's Office, evil
IDENTITY seeking appointment for some one,
ana the appointment clerk was discussing the
necessity there was of public officials employing
falsity instead of truth. in which conversation
Higgins used the only statement of truth have
ever heard of to my own knowledge. He said
II want it said, when I am buried, by those
who stand above my grave Here lies truth
but it never came out"
The party laughed heartily at Higgns's re-
mark, when he assumed an air of seriousness
and continued
Really, don't believe have told the truth
since l have been in this department"
Nothing was said in comment upon this re-
mark, but each of the three persons with
Higgins quietly winked at the other.

Corn Not Good for Horses.

Corn is the bane of the Carm
horse, as it is also of the horse do
ing any other sort Of work, not be-
cause of not being sufficiently
nutritious, but because it makes
too much fat and not enough mus
Gle. The horses muscle wears
away 10y work as metal wears away
by friction. Fat wears away under
exercise, but its disappearance in
nowise lessons the power for either
draft or speed. On the other hand,
well.nOurished and vigOrously-ex-
erclsed muscles, without deposit
of fat to keep them company, are
much more efficient for any pur-
pose for which the horse is kept
than when there is a load Of fat to
be carried. The trainer acts upon
this proposition and works the tat
of, experience having shown that
the muscles, trained down by exer-
else until fat accumulatiOns are
removed, fattening foods being
mainly abstained from gives the
best results in the case Of speedy
horse. The same rule will hold
good with the work horse, though
modified by the degree in which
the movements of the latter are
slower than those of the former. If
the farmer has only corn for feed
then he will be wise if he make
sale of his corn, or the greater
part Of it, buying oats instead.

Fish Ponds.

Every farmer who possesses sui
fcient water for the purpose should
have a fish pond upon his own
premises and raise his own fish. n
correspondent writing to the Tow
son Peoples Voice on this subject,
SAYS: There will be no difficulty
about it if he has spring water Of
his own, and the size of the pond
can be made to correspond with the
volume of the spring. If it should
be what is commonly calleda strong
spring, it would be sufficient TO
supply a pond OF about half an
acre in extent. The size must be
gagged so that the supply of water
will keep the fish in as good health
as at least an ordinary size brook
where fish abound, and which is
not supplied directly with spring
water. There should be in it a
few deep holes in which fish can
conceal themselves, aud then very
shallow places in which to spawn.
These latter places should have a
sandy or gravelly bottom, which
can be made by hauling the sand
or gravel from another portion of
the farm, should itnot be naturally
at the bottom. At the inflow OF
the pond or dam there should
be a firm streen to prevent the fish
from leaving the pond. The kinds
of fish to put in such a pond are
white catfish, pike, suckers, cells,
sun fish and German carp. In
such a pond the fish ought to be
better than those caught in COM
mon creek, and the supply ought
to be sufficient for any farmers
family, and the catching Of them
would besides afford the younger
members a great deal Of sport.
/ The cost would not amount to
enough to cause the most economi-
cal person to hesitate to count 1t, or
to deprive him Of the luxury. The
pond, too, would supply all the
ice needed.

Mr.. 6. A. Proehl, New Portage, Sum
init County, Ohio, writes: My wife
has been sick for about five years. In the
first place the doctor called 1t leucorhea,
and treated it about one year, and she
grew worse, and turned to liberation OF
the womb, and was treated for that two
years, but she grew worse and the doctor
gave her up. Then | employed DR., I'M

but under his treatment she grew worse.
She was paralyzed; she had lost all Of the
sense Of feeling and her eyesight. She
could not walk for nearly two years.
About six months ago Underwood gave
her up. She tried your PERUNA. She
has taken three bottles, and 1t did more
good than any other medicine. The pa
Talysis has about left her; her eyesight IS

Of PERUNA until she is we'll"
Mr.. Isaac Nicodemus, Schellsburg, Bed

| was the mcrest shadow as to form
and person. My digestion was all
derangcd, and my existence was
most wretched. Everything that
could be done for me was done,
but no permanent benefit was deriv-
ed. At last a great tumOr came
on my neck below the left ear. 1t

forced to the right shoulder and in
this ungainly and uncomfortable
position, | was compelled to carry
my head. The doctors decided
that it was there to stay as long as
life continued, and for many years
it did remain. In March, 1884, at
the suggestion Of Colonel John
Traylor | was induced to try Swift's
Specific. My system responded to
the medicine promptly, and / began
to improve from almost the first
bottle. That fearful tumor has all
disappeared, and every appearance
of the disease has left my person
except a small hard lump on the
right side of my neck, and that is
disappearing rapidly. From

wrought in my appearance. My
gratitude is unbounded for what
this medicine has done for me.

Cooper says that the range is very thin in northwestern Texas, and much of the country is badly overs,ocked. The small cattle owners, men who own from 1000 to 5000 head, are being crowded out by the cattle kings, who number their stock by tens of thousands, and these small owners are many of them seeking Arizona and New Mexico.
