There is not mechanical trade in America
but is represented by journal in its class
What trade il there that is of more importance,
that requires moro genius, and more careful
attention to detail, than farmingg The worker
in iron, il he wishes to prosper, Knows that he
must choose the representative journal of his
trade, study the market reports of iron, and
otherwise keep himself thoroughly posted He
relies implicitly upon the statements contained
in his favorite champion Of the industry, and
is enabled to buy and sell with firm knowl-
edge, which surprises his Negligent compeu-
tors. BY careful perusal Of tho well-timed ed
itorial comments, and the closely CLEANED notes
of interest to the trade he gathers ideas which
are TO him invaluable. The farming community
of the West are beginning to comprehend the
fact that there are for them newspapers which
give such clear-cut and well-defined ideas on
the science of farming, that their trade, the
king Of industries, takes its place at the head
of the long list as the art universal One of
the most prominent of this class of publica-
tons is THE WESTERN RURAL AND AMERICAN
SToCKMAN, of Chicago.
How proper it is that agriculture should be
represented by such worthy champion of its
interests. THE RURAL AND SToCKAIAN has long
been recognized as one OF the best journals OF
its kind in the world, the editor and pub
lislrr having been for years sue
cessful farmer. There is no question,
however scientific, relating to farming,
but is answered in its columns in free and
comprehensive manner Farmers Will recog-
nize that there is but one way TO sustain a
journal of this class, and that Is TO join hands
in its support

The Wrong Kind of Emotion.

"My dear young man, 1 wish to tell
you that / consider you man, sir. A
man, sir; 1 would feel proud to take
you by the hand, sir. When 1 see a
man moved to tears by a drama, sir,
/ always wish to make his acquaint-
ance. Very affecting scene, that. D.
my eyes, 1 was crying too" said a
breezy old gentleman to young man,
as he saw tears in the latter's eyes
when the curtain went down on the last
act.
"Much obliged for your kind opinion,
but I'm sorry to say that for once it is
misplaced, replied the young gentle
man.
"But L really saw tears in your eyes
and visible marks of emotion betrayed
by your face"
"Well, you see, it's this way. I'm
the author of that drama, and when /
saw how the managers had butchered
it it made me hopping mad. 1 always
cry when Pm mad. Good-evening
sir. > Brooklyn Times.

Smoking i'm Germany.

A decision OF. Como significance to the
Germans Of Germany was reached some
time since by the Berlin Potsdam Rail
road Company, relative to the occu-
pancy of four-ffths of the compart-
ments of each passenger-car by the
smoking traveller. The war was raised
by the suburban patrons of the road
for the continuance of all privileges
heretofore enjoyed, the company hav-
ing determined, on account of the great
rush of women and children for the
one compartment reserved to non
smokers, which delayed the trains, to
curtail the space formerly allowed to
travellers using the weed. The COM
pany, therefore, ordered that instead of
the four compartments of car for the
smokers and one for the non-smokers,
the custom should be reversed, and
hereafter one compartment must do for
smokers, while two must be kept sal
ubrious for the civilized public.
This incident is worthy of notice, as
it goes TO show that a movement is on
foot to circumscribe still further habit
which had grown to be almost universal
among the men of Germany. Reports
of travellers years ago in Europe, how
ever much they differed upon other
points, all agreed upon this, that in
Germany the pleasures of art, music,
and other entertainments were greatly
diminished by the ever-present binding
and nauseating smoke of the cigar and
pipe In fine, it was averred that all
Germany was in the habit of going to
bed at night and rising in the morning
with cigar in the mouth They smoked
at restaurants, at concerts, IN every
apartment of the house, on the street,
in society, in the presence OF ladies, In
railroad cars. and every other convey
ance, it never seeming to occur to the
average German that the comfort of
another was diminished by his selfish
Indulgence, and whoever suggested
anything of the kind was considered a
meddler.
But things have changed of late
with the smokers in Germany. The
man who would puff his smoke to-day
into the face of lady, without her con-
sent. would be called q boor. In res
taurants the cigar is only lighted on
leaving the room, and in the court halls
smoking is wholly prohibited or only
permitted after the intermission.
There is growing inclination, es-
pecially among men, to break off the
habit of smoking, or to resist the
temptation to form it. But there APP
pears to be no diminution of cigar
manufactures or stores. The Berlin
Directory shows 1,600 cigar shops, or
shop for every $50 inhabitants. A
great many cigars, however, are ex-
ported.

The Eagle as an Emblem

The eagle was called in ancient
mythology, the bird of Jove, and it
was believed that it bore the souls of
the dying to their abode on Mt.
Olympus. The bird was also sacred to
Vishnu in the mythology of India, and
is the bird of wisdom in the mythol-
ogy of the Scandinavians. The ancient
Etruscans first took the eagle as q SYM
Dol of royal power, and bore its image
upon their standards. The Romans
adopted the same symbol in the year
81 before Christ, the second year of
the consul Marius. A silver eagle, with
expanded wings, poised on the top of a
spear, with thunderbolt held in its
claws, was adopted as the military
standard to be borne at the head of
their legions. This image was made of
silver until the time of Hadrian, after
which it was made of gold. The
standard adopted by the Byzantine
Emperors was two-headed eagle, as q
symbol of their control of both the
East and the West. From these early
standards come all the eagles on the
standards of modern Europe. The
double-headed eagle of Russia was
adopted on the marriage of Ivan /.
with Grecian princess of the Eastern
empire; that of Austria was first used
when the Emperor of Germany took
the title of Roman Emperor. The ma
tionai standard of Russia bears black
eagle, that of Poland white one.
Napoleon l. took a golden eagle for his
standard, modelled of pure gold and
bearing thunderbolt, after the pattern
of the eagle of Rome. This standard
was disused under the Bourbons, bat
was restored by a decree of Louis Ma
poleon in 1852. The emblem used in
the United States is the large bald
headed eagle. 1t was in favor here, no
doubt, because of its connection with
the Romans, those early champions of
civil liberty. The design of an eagle
was suggested for the national flag,
but was abandoned for the simpler de-
sign of the stars and stripes. 1t has
often been used on regimental flags.
The eagle was first used on American
coin In 17SS, on cents and half-cents
issued from the Massachusetts, mint. 1t
was adopted in the plan of national
coinage, as a design upon all gold coins
and on the silver dollar, half-dollar,
and er-dollar.-Inter Ocean.

A correspondent in the Overland
writes: Already L observe two very
distinct kinds of structure in the gram
tie of this region, which, singly or COM
bined determine all the forms about this
wonderful valley. These two kinds of
structure are the concentric structure,
on an almost inconceivably grand scale,
and rude columnar structure, or per-
pendicular cleavage, also on a grand
scale. The disintegration and exfolia-
ton of the granite masses of the con-
centric structure give rise to the bald,
rounded domes; the structure itself is
we'll seen in Sentinel Dome, and espe-
cially in the royal arches. The column
mar structure, by designation, gives
rise to Washington Column, and the
sharp peaks, like Sentinel Rock and
Cathedral Spires. Both these struct-
ures exist in the same granite, though
the one or the other may predominant.

In addition to this, in many there is
also tendency to cleaye in concentrio
layers, giving rise to dome-like forms.
10th are we'll seen combined In the
grand mass of Half Dome. The per-
pendicular face wall of this dome is
the result of the perpendicular cleav-
age. Whatever may be our theory of
the formation of Yosemite chasm
and the perpendicularity of its cliffs,
we must not leave out of view this ten
dency to perpendicular cleavage. 1
observe, too, that the granite here is
very coarse-grained, and disintegrates
into dust with great rapidity.

LassOing n Calf.

A yearling calf, who hung down his
head in the meekest manner, and whose
large eyes seemed to DO chock-full OF
sorrow over some calf-calamity, was in
q yard on Second avenue, when along
came two young Buffalo b lis. They
had lassos made of stolen clothes-lInes,
and they had been practic ng on every
hitching-post for half a m lie around. As
soon as they saw that calf they realized
that they had struck bonanza. Here
was living, breath ng thing to prac-
tice on, and they lost no me in going
to work on that imaginary buffalo. AS
the calf stood stock still it was no great
feat to throw the nooses over his head
The trouble was to get them off again.
As the slip-knots frightened the calf
backed off and uttered the most dole

meek that the boys climbed the fence
to secure their ropes. The calf backed
off until he had them twenty feet from
the fence, and then q sudden change
took place all over him. Down went
his head and up went his tail, and the
first boy hadn't quit rolling over and
over when the second followed after.
They got up to go down again. and the
calf had both of them nicely cornered

home and trade off my bowie-knife for a
rat-trap, and if any body'll buy my pis-
tol I'll sell it for half a dollar. Mister,
do you think we've been morfully in

The pedestrian thought that internal
injuries might possibly "set in" in case
they were out much after dark, and
they limped away with white faces and
fearful eyes.-Detroit Free Press.

HEEL AND TOE.

Nature and Characteristics of Good walking
In view of the uncertainty that per-
vades the minds of athletes on this
coast as to what is and what is not O
square walk, it might perhaps be well
TO give short account of the history,
nature, and distinguishing Characters
tics Of heel-and-toe walking. In En-
gland, some years ago, Mr.. Perkins
walked the fastest mile ever recorded
IN the remarkable time of SIX minutes
and twenty-three seconds. His gait
was what is popularity known as heel
and-toe walking. In the early history
OF walking in this country, Mr.. Stern
made u mile on New York track in
seven minutes, at that time considered
very fast. His style was not heel and
toe, and formed quite a contrast to that
OF MIR. Mullen, who afterward, in
mile competition, open to all corners,
walked Mr.. Stern off his feet, and on
the last lap spurted him out of sight.
The square planting of Mr.. Mullen's
legs and heels was remarked and APP
preciated, and thereafter heel-and-toe
walking became the standard gait of
New York athletic clubs. Rules were
made regulating the walking gait, and
fat-footed shutting was relegated to
the shades of the past
In 1876, in this country, Mr.. Arm
strong walked seve1-mile race in very
fast time, and thereafter won the
amateur championship of the United
States, and held it some years,
although pressed by Mr.. Holske. No
better examples of the two styles of
heel-and-toe walking can be found than
those of Mr.. Armstrong and Mr..
Holske. Mr.. Armstrong employed the
gait of Mr.. Perkins, a high knee action
with a strong swing of the hips and
mechanical, enormous stride. Mr..
Holske's stride was more natural, with
very little action of the knee and
quicker movement of hip and leg. Both
walked heel and toe-that is, the ac-
tion of the knee Strengthened the leg
just before the heel touched the
ground, throwing the toe up and ne
cessarily heightened the stride. The
advantages of this gait are evident, and
if it should be asked why it is accepted
as standard and others rejected, it may
be answered that the Strengthened limb
is without n question the position of
beauty, strength and skill, whereas the
bent knee is the sign of weakness and
the refuge of hitchers and shippers,
mongrel-gaited pedestrians and all
such.
In a race, if the pace be two stiff or
the man tired, he naturally comes down
to flat-footed gait The ballet dancer
uses the stiffened knee and pointed toe,
and the principle of the heel-and-toe
walking is exactly the same. The actor
and orator use the extended, full
sweep of the arm the eagle and the
king vulture maintain the power of
their graceful flight by the wide ex-
tended pinion. The athlete lifts his
100-pound bell to the extremity of his
reach, and if he did not his perform
ance could hardly be called feat of
strength. BY instantaneous photo
graphs we find that the foreleg of the
racing trotter at full speed is straight
ened just before the hoof touches the
ground. In fact, if man is cut out to
be a walker, he takes to this straighten-
ed-knee, heel-and-toe gait naturally
