Travelling Statesmen and Gas

We have thirty or forty drummers who
make their headquarters here, but they
are mostly st. Louis men. Ihave heard It
said that drummers are accustomed to
carrying nippers and gas-tips of their own.
and that when they get their room the
first thing they do is to take off the small
gas-tips and put On their own, which give
give a light like a four-story house on fire
and consume about ten times as much gas
Of the ordinary tip. Ihave not known
this to occur at this hotel, but we have had
plenty of instances when bulb burners
were used, where the tip was unscrewed
and the insides ripped out the bulb, 50
that the gas could run out and feed q
flame a foot high.-Hotel Clerk in Globe.

washington,s Runaway CoIored Cook,

An autograph letter by George Wash
ington, which reveals some interesting
facts in his domestic history, has just been
published. He pathetica1ly writes Of the
running away of his colored cook and the
trouble experienced in getting another. A
friend tells him that a good cook can be
had By purchase, and recommends the slave
as having no other falling but a fondness
for liquor. The document does not show
that he became a Shareholder at that time
Nov. 10, 119T-but from the earnestness
of the appeal. in which he expresses him
self as willing to secure such help by hire
or purchase, it is inferable that ne did. At
any rate the letter proves that even the
father Of his country was not exempt from
ANNOYANCE on the servant duestion.--Chi-

Diseases Of Trotting-Horse Trainers.

1t is a noticeable fact that trotting-
horse trainers are as subjectto kidney dis
eases as are railroad conductors. This is
caused by the constant Earring OF
the motion of sulky riding. In the
course Of a days training they
sometimes ride fifty or sixty miles,
and this in time seriously affects the kid
neys and other internal organs. Nearly
every middle-aged horse-trainer3 suffers
from this complaint, and it carries more
OF them under their final wire than any
thing else.-Chicago News Rambler

aThe reason why thero are SO few In the

into the hundreds OF thousands Of dollars.

1t is what you might call a long-winded

100000 diaries apiece q year, the other

sizes of diaries made, 24mo, lsmo, and
12mo. and then there is narrow slno, long

The different sizes have one day to a page,

tail cost varies from 4 to 10 cents. There
is ten times as much demand for diaries

Points of a Good mixer.

A good mixer must be able to eat great
deal Of food. Milk cannot &c made without
something to make it from. The cow does
not secrete milk from the air, but from her
blood, ana her blood is supplied from the
food she eats. To eat great deal COW
must have strong jaw, and we may put
this down as one of the marks of a good
mixer. a strong jaw does not necessarily
require big head, at least what is called q
bulls head, large in the upper part, but q
strong lower jaw, with strong muscles to
operate II. Any expansion of the head in
other directions may be a detrimental draw
ing from her food to support it,
good mixer must digest great deal OF
food. This requires an ample stomach or
stomachs, for the COW has four. A large
stomach is indicated externally by a large
abdomen and great breadth between the
hips, or great breadth of loins A Judge OF
COWS will tell you that a COW should be
wedge-shaped, tapering from abdomen to
nose.
A good mixer will have large milk veins
that is, large veins leading to the udder,
under the belly. Those large veins indi-
cate large mixer.
Whether what is called the escutcheon,
the portion OF the hind part of the udder
and adjacent parts on which the hairs turn
back in opposition to the general direction
OF the hair, is any indication of the milking
qualities of the COW, is disputed ques-
ton Many believe that whereit is large it
indicates good mixer, where small poor
one. Others put no faith in it.
A soft, velvet feeling of the skin, and a
rich, yellow color, especially in the inside
of the ears, is believed to indicate rich
mixer, at least, il not a large one. 1t is
believed to show a tendency to fat, and
consequently butter-[ Rural Home.

A tvrant lord was he
They'd quarrel when the clock was two,
And make il up at three

And she disdains to play with boys
At feminine thirteen.
His matrimonial views are cool,
At love he gGly mocks:
She boasts q dearest friend at school
And daily frightening frocks.
When twenty sees him quite man,
Its bliss has one alloy;
She laughs at him behind her fan
And calls him such boy.
For she has lovers now galore,
Who smiles and favor crave,
And he who tyrannized of yore
Is now her humbest slave
They now are middle-aged; tbs said
His chin beard now covers;
And, strange TO say, she's not yet wed,
In spite of all her lovers
But vain for her to sigh for him,
For so the story tells
Grown weary OF caprice and within,
He's married some one elsel
