You have probably witnessed Cne IeaG OF
cracking glass balls thrown in the air Oy
shooting at them with a Winchester, and
while riding a horse going at a gallop.
Well, that's the kind of a bali cartridge
that is used, and the spectators look on
with wonder and admiration, supposlng
that it is done with a single ball, and that
is something, my boy, that no man in the
world has ever done, or will do, because,
it is a physical impossibility "-ButaIo

How BR1GHT's DISEASE ORIGINATED.
John Bright was born in 1911. He made
a tour of the Holy Land at the age of TWEEN
ty-four, but did not decide to purchase it,
owing to the existence of a flaw in the
title. He next began to invent things.
On his return from the Orient he discover
ed that what was most needed in both Eu-
rope and America vas a good reliable dis
ease for the use of the better classes. The
Door and humble were we'll supplied, but
the rich, the aristocratic and patrician
statesmen, corned heads and porkists of
the two lands languished for a good relia-
BILE disease that poor people could not OBJ
tain. So he began to sit up at night and
perfect Bright's disease. He gained the
prize at the Paris exhibition, and honora-
BILE mention at the great centennial cele-
bration at Philadelphia, for "meritorious
and effective disease for the better classes"
Since that time he has been gratitied to
notice that the very best people, both IN
his land and in this, are handling Bright's
disease. 1t has been kept out of the poor,
and to die from this ailment has been re-
garded as a proud distinction.-BM Nye.

GOOD ADVICE TO FARMERs.-Beware of
credit in 1888, and leave off the lien, II
you can well do so. 1t is like the image of
the old Spartan tyrant-fair to look upon
and inviting, but cruelty and painfully
eXtortionate when once you are IN ITS
clutches. Don't let the commercial fertil-
izer beguile you too far from shore and
sink you next fall. Above all, don't
promise to send a factor so many bales OF
cotton-more than you can possibly pro-
duce-and engage to pay him "commls-
sions'' for each and every bale not so sent
him. Have an eye to the improvement of
your places, make them the most attract
i've homes you can. Let your good sense
guide to the best use of the means you
have, and think the matter over we'll be-
fore you act.- williamsburg Herald.
