AMPUTATIoN OF THE LEG.

Money Is the universal necessity, and none but
a cynic or a fool will affect to deapise it. Mr..
Abram Ellsworth, of Port Even, Ulster County,
N. Y, had realized this truth His disease in
volved the whole of mis- thigh-bone. and the SUI
fering man looked forward, not without apparent
reason to death as his only deliverer The fami-
by physicians refused 20 amputate the limb, as
serting that the operation would kill the patient
on the spot. DIR. David KENNEDY, of Ron
dout, n. Y, who was consulted, held different
opinion, and amputated the limb. The Doctor
lhen administered freely his great Blood Specific
FAyORITE REMEDY to afford tone and
strength TO the system, and prevent the return OF
the disease, and Mr.. Ellsworth remains to this
day in the bloom of health This gentleman's
disease was the offspring Of foul blood, and Ken
nedy's FAvORITE REMEDY purified the blood
and restored TO him the power once more to enjoy
his life. Are you suffering from any disease trace

How to Succeed.

The Hon. III. G.. Eastman, of
Poughkeepsie, gave this terse advice
TO the students of Eastman's Busi-
ness College
MY students, you are the arehi-
tects of your own fortunes. Rely on
your own strength OF body and soul.
Select some speciality for your lifes
work, and adhere to Pauls precept
This one thing | do Let your
star he industry, self-relianoe, faith
and honesty, and inscribe on your
banner, Luck is fool. Pluck Is
hero. Earnest efforts in one diTec-
ton is the surest road to wealth and
high position. Don't take too much
advice. Keep the helm, steer your
own ship and remember that the
great art OF coming is to take upon
yourself the largest share OF the
work. Don't practice too much hu-
mility. Think well of yourself
Strike out. Assume your position.
1t Is the lostlings of life that bring
great men to the surface. Put pOta-
toes in cart over a rough road, and
the small potatoes go to the bottom.
Turn a raft of logs down a mill
race and the large logs come on top.
Rise above the envious and Jealous.
Fire above tine mark you intend to
hit. Energy, invincible determina-
ton, with a right motive, are the le-
vers that mOye the world. Don't
drink. Don't chew. Don't smoke.
Don't swear. Don't deceive. Don't
read injurious novels. Be in ear
nest. Be self reliant. Be generous.
There are two sides to every balance,
and favors thrown in on one side of
the scales are sure to be riciprocated
in the other.
Be civil. Be gentleman. 1t is
a foolish man who does not under
stand that molasses will catch more
flies than vinegar. Read the papers;
they are the great educators of the
people. Advertise your business.
Keep YOUR own counsels, superin-
tend your own business. Make
money and do good with it. Love
God and your fellow-men. Love
truth and virtue. Love your eOun-
try, and obey its law"

Indian Votes IN wisconsin.

Mr.. A. Miller of Wisconsin is q
tall, baoadshouldered man with
straight hair and dark complexion
NOT dark enough, however, that
you would suspect him of having
Indian blood iD his veins, but he
has. and makes no concealment of
that fact. He represents the StocE
bridge Indians of Wisconsin a.
Washington as a sort of delegate to
attend to their business in the de
partments, and he said to a CORES
pondent Yes. my tribe voted"
How does it happen that your
people are voters ?" the correspon
dent asked him.
well" he said. there was an act
passed by Congress some 80 or 40
years ago, special act making city
zens of our tribes who might choose
to dissolve their tribal relations'and
take their lands in severalty. After
ward that act was repealed but it
has been held that, while Congress
could make an Indian citizen, it
could not make citizen an Indian
again, so our people have voted ever
since at not only state elections, but
national as well. They vote for
every officer from President down,
and hold a controlling influence in
their county. They are all Repub-
licans to the last man."
"Are there any other Indians who
are citizens and voters ?"
a few others, | believe. There
are few members of another tribe
in Wisconsin who are made citizens
by a special act of Congress, and I
believe some Kansas Indians are
also now voters. They are are
given that privilege. however only
special act of Congress.
sWhat are the terms of those
special acts, usually? Do they make
any requirements of the Indians ?"
Simply that they dissolve their
relations with their tribes, take their
lands in severalty and assume the
responsibilities of life for themsel-
yes and the support OF their fami
lies"
Has the result been satisfactory
where such experiments have been
tried ?"
Entirely So

How Many Eggs VIII n Hen Lay ?

We often read OF hens that Law 200
eggs year: but such statements do
more harm than good, by inducing
the inexperienced 70 believe such to
be fact Anyone who is familiar
at all with poultry knows that dur
ing the Fall all hens undergo the
process OK mOlting, or shedding the
feathers. This requires usually
about three months. or no days. As
there are only 365 days in & year, We
have 265 days left after deducting
the molting period. lfa hen lays
regularly an egg every other day she
will lay 133 eggs but she will prob
ably lose three months in Matching
out her broods, and even if she is
non-sister she will take a resting
place. As molting is a heavy drain
on the system, but few hens laying
during that process, though there
are exceptions, and where the num-
Der of eggs exceed one every two
days, it will be found that q CORES
ponding reduction occurs during
some period of the year While We
admit that certain individual hens
have been known to lay as many as
$50 or 175 eggs in a year, such cases
are rare and if one has a flock of
twenty hens or more, he should be
satisfied if there is an average of 100
eggs year for the whole flock, or
rather nine dozen. -Four dozen out
of the nine should realize 80 cents q
dozen; three dozen should bring
about 20 cents per dozen, and two
dozen should realize ID cents per
dozen, or an average of % cents. OF
course, this calculation may be
wrong but it will convey an idea of
what may be expected.-Fdrm and

As He Remembered It.

Sam Ward was once seated oppo-
site a well-known Senator at a din
ner at Washington. This Senator
was very bald, and the light shin
ing on the breadth of his scalp at
tracted Wards attention.
Can you tell me" he asked his
neighbor, why the Senator's head
is like Alaska ?''
"I'm sure | don't know
"Why, because it's white bear
place"
The neighbor was immensely tick
led. and he hailed the Senator across
the table:
Say, Senator, Wards just got of
a smart thing about you"
"What is it?"
ID you know why your head is
like Alaska ?"
"No.n
Because it Is a great place for
white bears"

TRUE TO his WORK.

For seven days a gloomy fog held
the Thesns in shroud; for seven
days sky and sun were hidden from
the crew. All around them they
could hear the spouting of whales,
without seeing them, while far aloft,
rustling through the rigging. went
the croaking sea-gull, without show
ing even the shadow of its wing.
On the morning of the seventh
day the ship was still rolling and
pitching in the heavy Atlantic swells
when, slowly emerging from the
mist, came q forlorn looking boat,
containing four suffering human be-
ings-two of them sailors, the others

the latter an elderly woman.

Red HAIR Bscom,us Fashionable.

Red hair is said to be the coming
style. Why not? The red-headed
girl has been tabooed long enough.
and the red-headed man has had to
struggle along in single blessedness
and die bachelor until red hair
came 10 be regarded a. calamity.
Ii there is any confidence 10 be
placed in a Philadelphia hairdresser,
who spent the summer at Ashbury,
there is greater yearning for red
hair now than there formerly was
for blonde. He thinks the red will
be more difficult to get than any
other calor, because there is no dye
now known that will change dark
er colored hair to red.
The blondes and towheads will
not be at such disadvantage, yet 1t
will be no easy task for them to get
a bright, clear read.
The impression tnat red hair Is
indicative of i'll temper probably
arises from the fact that most red
headed people are more sensitive
than those with black or brown hair,
but their sensitiveness is not neees-
sarily Ill condition. They flush up
quickly, and if ill-natured, as some
are, they get angry in a minute, but
their anger is of the flashy sort-hOt
while it lasts, but cools rapidly. 1t
leaves but few dregs behind, such as
hatefulness, spiteiulness or bitter
ness. If the hair happens TO be
kinky, as well as red. the owner of
it may be spilfire. This, however,
applies TO other shades as well as to
red.
Red hair is significant of warmth,
not merely because it is the color of
hot Goals, scorching blazes or red-hOt
iron, but because it takes its color
from the blood rather than from an
opaque pigment secreted by the hair
follicle. Ii is also significant of a
warm, responsive heart, deep sym
pathy and active generosity. The
possessor of a red head is rarely of
a mean or niggardly disposition-so
rare, indeed, they may be classed as
freaks.
1t Is said that red-headed people
rarely grow rich or are seldom poor.
Such is probably the case, as they
are generally industrious, frugal,
temperate, and withal generous and
liberal. They live well themselves,
and like to see others doing the same.
This style of person rarely becomes
wealthy iii this worlds goods, be-
cause they find so many places to
put their money where it will yield
more satisfaction than in houses,
lands or bonds.

when he Knew his Fate.

Gen. Grants reticence in talking
about himself has always been one
of his characteristics. The only oc-
cassion know to many we'll informed
persons when Gen. Grant was ever
heard to express an opinion of his
own qualifications, was at aldihner
be gave at the White House in
March, 1874. There were but few
guests, among them Roscoe Conk-
ling. Simon Cameron and Senator
]. w. Johnston. of Virginia. The
last named gentleman sat next to
Gen. Grant at the table. The talk
turned on the war, and while the
others were discussing it Senator
Johnston turned to Gen. Grant and
said to him:
"Mr. President, will you permit
me to ask you question which has
always been of great interest to me +?
Did you at the beginning of the war
have any premonition that you were
to be the man OF the struggle?"
II had not the least idea of it,"
replied Gen. Grant. Il saw lot of
very ordinary fellows pitching in
and getting commissions. | knew |
could do as well and better than
they could, so applied for COM
mission and got it"
"Then," asked Senator Johnston,
when did you know that you were
the man Of destiny ?"
Gen. Grant looked straight ahead
of him. with an expression on his
inscrutable face that Senator john
son bad never seen there before.
After the fall of Vicksburg," he
said, after pause. When Vieks-
burg capitulated, l knew then was
to be the man of the war; that /
should command the armies of the
United States and bring the war to a
close"
But" said Senator Johnston,
"you had had great and notable sue
cesses before the days of Vicksburg.
You had fought Shiloh and captur-
ed Fort Donelson."
THAT is true" responded Gen.
Grant, but while they gave me con-
fidence in myself, | could not see
what was before until Vicksburg
fell. Then | saw it as plainly as
| now do. | knew | should be
commander-in-chief and end the
war"

One Woman Shoots Another.

ST. PAUL, Nov. 19.-Two young
women, Miss Mabel Holmes and
Miss Nellie Melville, of Baker City
Oregon, had a quarrel to-day and
the latter drew a small pistol and
shot the former. The ball took eff
feet in the right side of Miss Holmes
and passed nearly through her body
A surgeon pronounced the wound
fatal. Miss Melville was arrested
and Is now in Jail. She does not
show the least remorse or sorrow for
the deed, but appears happy at hav-
ing committed a crime. The cause
OF the difficulty is said to be jeal-
