Saved From the Branding.

"One of the few patents that make
big money" said an attorney, "is a sim
pie thing called an ear-mark for live
stock. 1t consists of two tubes, one of
zinc and the other of brass, the brass
tube made the smaller and fitting into
the other with a little spring projection
to hold it in place. When this is stuck
through a critters ear only the zinc is in
contact with the flesh, and that
zinc has well-know healing prop
critics, is shown in the use of
zinc collar pads for horses. The
end of each tube is disc about the size
OF a nickel, and on the brass disc are in
itials and numbers. A Chicago firm ia
doing a big business in these marks. A
stockraiser can have his W private
mark; same as branding, and, if he de-
sires, have all of his cattle numbered
~consecutively. They cost S. thousand,
and are much used in the West. They
arc used for cattle, horses, hogs and

Lucky Men Who Get Rich.

"Some men do have luck in this world.
for a fact" said a seedy-looking individ-
ual who had taken a fifteen-cent lunch
on State street, near Harrison, and who
now stood in front of the Palmer House
manipulating his tooth-pick, 'ebut I amt
one of them.
Tin my time I have invested many a
good thousand dollars in mining stocks
and never made a hit yet. A hit was
what 1 needed to make about as bad as
anybody ever needed it, but I couldn't
make one.
"Now just look at Marshall Field. He
hasn't been suffering for a dollar for a
good while. Yet a few years ago, in
settling with a country merchant, he was
induced to take $500 worth of stock in
the Chrysolite mine.
"He didn't want to take the stock and
offered to make a big discount for cash,
but the country merchant was hard up
and so the dicker was made.
"Field took the stock, put it away in
his safe, and in seven years has drawn
$50, 900 in dividends.
'Tve heard, too, though I don't know
how true it is, that about all the money
he ever invested in mining property was
his profits from this first venture.
HE has a most invariably been lucky,
and has probably made more money out;
of silver mines on a smaller investment
than any other man in Chicago. A rich
man for luck every time. - Chicago

Unique Praise OF n Piano.

Previous to entering upon his present
calling as Il piano dealer Mr.. Pfaflin was
a locomotive engineer. When the lady
reached the store she had the good for.
tune to find Mr.. Pfaflin in, and she
asked his judgment on the style and
brand of a piano.
"That depends upon your taste, mad
am" said he. eff you want to combine
elegance with utility, Iwould suggest
the o~ld-fashioned square piano. 1t an.
swers for an ornament, makes music, and
can be used for a dining-tablc and a bed
hen you have company. This kind of
an instrument should not be selected for
a small cab, because it dosn't leave room
for firing up. They make just as much
steam as the upright, but, owing to the
position of the harp, they let down in
the flues much quicker. Being wide
suage, the wear and tear are also very
great. If you a want a perfect working.
handsome machine, take the upright. 1t
IS narrow guage, hung low on the trucks,
and has all the modern improvements, in
Guiding patent brake and snow-plow.
The running-board is the same size as the
square, and she carries just as much
steam. You can work it in small space
and get as much sound out of it as YOU
could with the ol~d-fashioned steamboat
whistles. Her woodwork is rs neat as a
Pullman sleeper, and if you keep her
well packed and oiled she works as slick
as old s~eventy-four. I have run one for
five years. Boston Journal.

Forgive !

Forgive the hand that harshly strikes
In anger's reckless mood,
Perhaps the heart behind it mourns .
Tbs action hot and rude;
And though the insult sends the blood
Indignant to the face,
Its pardon to the injured brings
No sorrow or disgrace.
Forgive the tongue whose hasty words
Like flaming arrows burn,
Behind it, too, a heart may sigh,
And for forbearance yearn;
Since there is none of human kind
That doth not sometimes need
An iu-used neighbors clemency
For g~rievous word or deed.
Though, hate should follow, hard and close
With every cruel wrong,
This thought will always cheer the soul
1t cannot be for long;
While on an easier bed he lies,
Who from revenge is free,
Who says, "My heart forgives them all
AS God forgiveth mel"

General Doubleday Beaten.

The lack of discipline in the Union ar
my in the early part of the war is exem-
plifed by q couple of anecdotes told by
Col. W. A. James, an old and we'll
known veteran: "When we were in the
defenses before Washington in 1861 Gen.
eral Doubleday, o rigin martinez, was in
command OF the brigade, which was
made up almost entirely of young and
unframed soldiers. One of them, a lank
and overgrown Westerner, was doing
picket duty one day when Doubleday,
glorious in gilt and brass, rode by on his
charger, accompanied by his entire staff.
AS they passed the big Westerner stared
ut them with ~open-mouthed wonder, and
neglected to salute. The General no.
ticed the error, and rode back with fire
in his eye.
"What is yonr name2" he asked the
picket.
The picket told him.
"'Well, I am General Doubleday.

nonchalantly. Waal, We hev a gosh
fred fine job, and I hope we can hold it,
The General galloped off again without
q word.
AT another time a soldier who was dig
ging a trench hit his captain on the head
with a clod of dirt. The officer rushed
up n reprimanded the private.
"Now, look-a-here, Cap" said the lat
ter, ''my business here is digging and
yours is bossing the company on parade,
and if you attend to your business I'll at

He Got His Customer.

The following story is told of an enter
prising New-York jobber: The merchant
in question, having heard Of the arrival
of a country trader who was known to be
a large purchaser and of unquestionable
credit, was resolved to get HIM to visit
his establishment, and, once there, he
felt sure he could secure him as a custom
er. He accordingly sent out one of his
drummers, of whom he had quite a num-
Der, adapted to every taste and disposi-
ton. The one sent, however, returned
without success. No. 2 was dispatched,
with no better result, and again No. 8,
and so on until all had gone and come
back without their man. The merchant
now determined to go himself, and find
ing that brandy and water and free tick
cts to the theatre were of no avail, for
the country trader dl1 not take ore or
go to the other, he was reduced to the
necessity of employing a ruse, which, as
the sequel shows, was simple as well as
effectual. On taking his departure after
a pleasant interview the merchant took
care to commit the mistake" of taking
the traders hat instead of his own. Next
morning, as was expected, the merchant
received a prompt visit at his store from
the country trader, who came to look up
the hat which he supposed had been
hhrridly exchanged. This was what the
merchant wanted, aud through this
means sold agood bin Of goods and IS.

The golden sun looks gladly down

The golden sun looks gladly down
On golden row of daffodils.
! He crowns them with his golden crown,
With golden rays each blossom fills,
And every ~blighting breeze he stills
With golden trumpets in their hands,
On plant stems they lightly swing;
In cheerful, dauntless, gorgeous bands,
Their trumpets to tie breeze they fling,
And sound the overture to spring.
Gone Is the winters dreaded power,
/. Gone are the cold and weary days;
Now comes the soul-refreshing shower,
Now sheds the III his brightest rays;
Their golden trumps are turned to praise.
Praise Him, We trumpeters of spring,
Whose mighty love new life distills!
My heart shall with-your music ring
Until your rapture through me thrills,
Ye golden-throated daffodils!

Lunar Fancies.

In Devonshire it is believed that on
seeing the first new moon of the year, if
you take off on stocking and run across
a field, you will find between two of your
toes a hair which will be the color of
the lover you are to have. In Berkshire
the proceeding is more simple, for you
merely look ut the new moon and a
New moon, new moon, I hail theel
By all the virtue in thy body,
Grant this night that I may see
He who my true love shall be-"
lie result is guaranteed to be as salts
factory as it is in Ireland, where tho
people are said to point to the new moon
with a knife, and say:
"New moon, true morrow, be true now to
ME,
That 1, tomorrow, my true love may see.,'
In Yorkshire, again, the practice was
to catch the reflection of the new moon
in a looking-glass, the number of refcc-
tions signifying the number of years
which will elapse' before marriage. Au
these supcrstitions are suggestive of that
which Tylor calls some of the most in
structive astrological Notwithstanding
~, that of the sympathy of growing
and declining nature with the waxing
and waning moon. Tylor says that a
classical prccept was to set eggs under
the hen at new moon, and that a Lithu-
anlan precept was to weau boys on a
waxing and girls on a waning moon-to
make n boys strong and the girls deli
cate. On the same grounds, he SAYS,
Orkncymcn object to marry except with
a growing moon, and Mr.. Dyer says that
in Cornwall, when a child is born in the
interval between an old and q now moon.
it is believed that he will never live to
manhood.-AN the Year Round.
