Leaves as Fodder in Norway.

The alder and the ash are much val
ned by the Norwegian peasants as fur
nishing fodder for their cattle during
the long severe winter. In early Octo-
Der, just before the leaves change color,
every farmer fills two or three of his
barns with small branches cut from
these trees: with this food the cows
have to be content. for all the hay is
required for the horses. The work of
collecting and storing these leafy
branches is intrusted to old women and
younger girls, the latter climbing up
into the trees when necessary, and dis
playing as much agility and fearless
ness as school boy after birds nest.
The fair sex of Norway have to do their
share OF hard work, and do it uncom-
plainingly; an old beldame may fire.

A GRATEFUL WOMAN.

The Proposition Made by the Young Lady
Who Could Not Choose Between Two
Lovers.
A beautiful and bashful young woman
Of about nineteen summers called re-
Gently at the Office of life assurance
agent, and asked him timidly if he
could tell her how long people of
certain age would live.
Madam" replied the agent, cough
ing respectfully behind a prospectus,
and drawing his chair near to her,
here are our tables of expectation and
average mortality, which contain all
the information upon the subject that
you can desire"
"Well," said she, show long will a
man of sixty-seven, and that eats peas
with his knife, ive?''
According to our table, madam"
replied the agent, ''he should, on the
average, survive eleven years, three
months and sixteen days"
THAT, said the visitor, ''would be
till the 2lst of April, 1862"
Precisely, madam, on the average
expectation of mortality, for we must
all die, and it is therefore well to insure
against loss to the loved ones in a COM
pany whose character-n
"And how much could insure his
life for?''
'Oh, for any amount-say for ten
thousand dollarsp" he answered, tax
ing up blank form of application.
''Let me recommend the unexpected
advantages offered by our non-feitable
endowment policy"
"Well," said the young woman, II
think, then, that I'll marry him.
ENSURE him, you mean?" corrected
the agent.
mo, marry him; you insure him.
You see," she added, with a burst Of
confidence, II love Herbert, and Mr..
Dawkins is old enough to be my grand
father. But Herbert is poor, and l just
worship the corner lots that Mr.. Daw-
kins builds on. And Herbert is very
patient, and says that if will only fix
day, no matter how long he may
have to wait, he will be happy. Now
you say Mr.. Dawkins will die by the
21st of April, 1896; and as it wouldn't
be decent to marry again till I've been
year in mourning, I'll arrange to
marry Herbert on the 22d Of April,
1897, and if Mr.. Dawkins doesn't die
by then you'll give me ten thousand
dollars. Oh, thank you!" and with
deep bow she swept out of the Office

FAST TRAINS
Hew tho Engineers who Run Rapid Trains
are Affected.

Hew tho Engineers who Run Rapid Trains
neg are Affected.
a. Three Of the Oldest and most COM
petent engineers to whom was COM
mitted the running of the fast trains,
not long since asked relief at the hands
Of the superintendent of the road.
They had found that the mental and
nervous strain which came upon them
while urging their locomotives to this
high rate of speed was so great that
they found themselves unable to bear
it. One of these men, an acquaintance
of our informant, was few months
before q stalwart man, with a nervous
organization which seemed capable of
bearing anything that could be put
upon it. He now had grown thin and
hae gard, while his brawny hand was
trembling as if an incipient palsy had
stricken him. He had been compelled
to say to the management: "You must
give me slow freight train, on which
I can have an opportunity to recover
myself, or l shall be compelled to re-
sign my position in order to save my
health, and even my life.'' To these
men, the excitement, coupled with re-
sponsibility, great enough at ordinary
times, had become simply unbearable
when their engine was rushing over
the rails at speed of fifty or sixty
miles an hour. These men were
trained men, schooled to calmness and
alertness combined, and had years of
experience, but this excessive demand
was too much for them.
There is something pathetic in this
statement. 1t is well known that the
relative cost of running railroad train
at high speed is vastly more than
running the same train at lower rate,
and the wear and tear of locomotive,
rail and road-bed are so much greater,
but we do not remember to have seen
any facts exhibited as to the enhanced
loss of nerve and vital power taken
from the men who control these mate
rial forces. That does not, as far as we
know, ever appear in any annual report
of the directors of railroad. Possibly
it has never been taken into the account
or had thought. 81 "a
The passenger sits calmly enjoying
the gentle sway or the glide as the

about the less than two hours between
the cities nearly hundred miles apart,
but gives never thought to the man
in front who, with strained eye, and
hand on the lever, was all the time
giving, literally, moment by moment,
a part of his life for those whose safety
depended upon the touch of his hand

FARM LABORERS,

The Kind of Help the Farmers of tho
Country Want.
About this time of the year the farm
ers of this country want to employ q
few thousand farm hands. And it is
probable those standing around idle
may be anxious to know what kind of
hands they want. The writer can in
form them, for he has talked with the
farmers about just this question. They
want such hands that the owner will
know when the ''barn chores" are fin
ished either morning or evening, that
the cattle, horses, hogs, ETC., are all
in their proper place, made secure from
accident or from injuring each other;
that they have been properly and plen-
tifully fed ana watered. He wants the
assurance from the character and prac-
tices of his hand that when away on
the road with his team it will be cared
for. He does not want to be troubled
and constantly following after his hand
to see if the gate or bars are shut, the
fence repaired in case of damage by
stock or otherwise; that the gates and
doors of the barn, stable and yard are
shut at night. Nor does he want to follow
after his help to pick up and take care
of axes, hoes, irakes, harness and other
farm implements. He does not want
a hand that is so foul in his language
and habits that he has to keep his
young sons from associating with him.
The farmer wants to have little salts
faction of knowing that he has hand,
whether the owner be at home or away,
that will attend to all of the business
of the farm with fidelity, with as much
care as if they were his own. These
are some of the points of character the
farmers want this year in the hands
they employ. Nor need the hands be
frightened at these requirements. They
require no more thought-no more
time-only a little more study how
things should be done-a little more
care about the formation of habits
and a little sounder code of theories as
to the duties of employer and en-
ployes.so77
A young man who is prepared to fill
the foregoing requisites as farm hand
will have but short probationary
state in that position. as there will soon
be premium offered for his services in
the higher walks of life.-Iova State

Painful Impressions.

A remarkable characteristic OF the
average newspaper reader of the day is
the eagernesS and avidity one seeks for
painful impressions caused by perusing
accounts of human suffering. Is there
a railroad accident a steamboat disas-
ter, hanging, lynching, a murder or
anything of this nature vividly written
up and glowingly pictured in reporto-
rial descriptive style, it at once becomes
the most interesting item of the paper.
Managers of our large and most success
full metropolitan dailies pander to this
corrupt and morbid taste of their pa
irons. A reporter will be dispatched a
hundred miles to gather the latest and
most minute details of some licentious
rape or revolving murder, while the
deeds of the good and the virtuous are
never known outside narrow limit.
Full many rose is born to blush unseen
And waste its fragance on the desert
air."
All this is evidence of mental disease,
truth that can not be cOntradicted.
They that are clothed and in their right
mind 10th evil and recital of evil ways;
with them it is "peace on earth and
good will toward men" Heaven on
carth' is printed on their banner, while
"S1Il their ways are ways Of pleasant
Dess and all their paths are peace" Not
all are conscious of their mental inn
pairment; SO long have they suffered
from urinary, digestive and nervous dis
orders, that they consider their feelings
and impressions natural and common to
even healthful individuals. But if all
such should regain perfect health and
strength of mind and body by using DR..
GUYSOTT'S YELLOW DOCK AND SARSA-
PARILLA, they would experience a
change OF feeling that would be most

Now she is comparatively free from the
Prolapsus, Stomach's sickness, &c. The
hemorrhage is very much better and is
less at the regular periods. Her appetite
is restored, and her general health and
strength are much improved. We feel that
we have been wonderfully benefited and

Continued Reports of a Look

ORE AND BULLION RECEIPTS.
mary of the Stockton District
Price of Lead.

The Alice dividend has been the only
notable event of the week. Trade was
dull until yesterday. when fair Satur-
days purchasing was participated in by
everybody. The most encouraging
news continues to come from Stockton,
Cphir and Dry Canyon, and summary
of the present status of those districts
obtained from a reliable source, is given
below. 1t is impossible, correspond
ent informs us, to hire sufficient num-
Der of teams out west to do the hauling,
the reason probably being that harvest
ng and threshing now monopolize
teams all through the Territory.
The encouraging features of the gen.
eral trade situation heretofore reported
in this column have beeA repeated in
special kilograms received by Brad
streets this week. More specific advices
from Boston state that while the feeling
in trade circles is more encouraging, the
gain in the volume of trade which has
taken place is not large. Still it is of
significance that at Philadelphia, Gin
cinnati, Memphis and Burlington the
leading jobbers record better sales and
an improved feeling in trade circles. AT
Chicago there has been some depression
owing to the decline in the price of
wheat, but otherwise there is no change.
At St Louis the threatened strike of the
Gould road operatives belonging to the
Knights of Labor depressed trade by
causing the withholding of orders the
interior. At Cleveland it is wired that
trade is fair for the season, only. At
New York only moderate average of
the reports recorded above is true.
Leading dealers in staple lines at New
York regard the general improvement
noticed here, maily in cotton goods and
wool, as pointing to the usual excess
demand customary at the opening OF
autumn. The necessitated outlay in the
fall is heavier than that in the spring.

force consumers to take any important
part of the sc. c." holding.
Perhaps the most important news"
is from the Eureka Sentinel of the 18th
inst. 1t says the Richmond has COM
menced shipments of lead, having some
5000 tons available for shipment,
exclusive of the 5000 held to await the
decision of the courts.
1t these 5000 tons are to be handled
outside of the &c. c.. then consumers

ditional load may make "the game not
worth the candle" when a sudden de-
cline would take place. Atprcsent, the
position favors the producers land the
&C. Gu, though there are some signs
of weakness. Chicago reports dull
market and no buyers at the 417Ec.
and 4.20c. asked there.
Direct advices to this city to-day state
that the Richmond has 1900 tons free
from attachment, and that arrange
ments are being made with the view of
landing some of it here by rail. This of
course would leave very little margin
for the producer, even at the present
price of lead here, and if it should break
the price to $50. or &C., it would be as
well for the company to hold the lead
where it is. Sent by water, it could not
arrive for four months, and in the mean
time. no doubt, the &c. c." would
make hay. Journal.
