We have noted the weakness and de-

natural gas stocks from time to time.
The former has been goingsteadily down
in tho Pittsburgh market for good
while, and the latter is not far behind.
1t is suspected at Pittsburgh that Jug
glery is going on-Jay Gould sort oil
work-to shake out the small holders.
The Pittsburgh Chronicle Telegraph says
that the bears report that "all natural
gas shares are destined to go lower and
that the bottom will not be reached for
some time"

The Mule i'm the War.

The Ninth Illinois Infantry was
mounted principally on mules on the
the Atlanta campaign, and somewhere
neal there the regiment while in advance
had a hard fight with a large force of the
enemy, and were at last required to fall
back. DIR. Grelick, the urgeo of the
regiment, and who is yet living at Alton,
in this state, found his mule wouldn't
run, but contented itself with kicking
and '~'bucking" as the surgeon applied
the spurs. He coaxed, demonstrated,
and spurred all in vain, and all the
time the the rebel skirmish line had
kept coming closer, until at last one of
the enemy rode up in the rear of the
doctor and demanded his surrender.
The doctor had all he could do to keep
in the saddle, and when the demand was
again made he petulantly replied:
"Well, blank it, 1 am willing, but you
can see for yourself that the blank mule
This didn't satisfy the rebel,
and as the doctor was bounding up and
down on the mules back the skirmisher
opened fire on the doctor at close range
from a revolver. This made the latter
indignant, and whipping out his own
pistol he began firing over his shoulder
at the rebel, who, he knew, was some
where in the rear, but whom he could
not see or pay any attention to because
of the imperious demands made upon
him by the mule. The danger from
death seemed equally great from beneath
as from the rear. Fortunately one of
the doctors random shots struck the
rebels horse, which caused it to break
beyond the control of its rider, and car
ried him rapidly past the doctor to u
side, and as he went flying past the
mule saw him and instantly gave chase,
bringing the doctor soon up in the rear
of the rebel, whom he covered with his
pistol, and actually brought him a pris-
Oner into our linesl OF course, the
doctor was glad enough to commend the
mules superior strategy, and not con-
denim it for its characteristic OBJ
stinacy, as he was at first disposed to

Under the Sofa.

Another on Madison Avenue lately
requested her daughter, who is just APP
preaching womanhood, to give her beau
a hint that she must not sit up later
than 10 o'clock. This the girl was re-
luctant to do, but her little brother
threatened that unless she did he would
open the parlor door aud announce the
maternal edict. The sister supposed
that she had put a quietus upon her
brother by reminding him of his play
ing hockey and forging his mothers
name to exuses from school to go
skating. not forgetting to mention the
little riding-whip his mamma kept in her
room. All this, however, was not enough
to keep the youth from getting even with
Sis's beau for not giving him anything
Christmas. The other evening he got
an alarm clock with q bell as loud as the
gong ON the Brooklyn Bridge bob, and
placed it under the sofa where his sis
ter and her betrothed were to do their
spooning. The hands were pointed at
10. The unsuspecting girl heard the
tick but took it to be her lovers Water
bury. He was just tickling her ear with
q yarn about a horse his papa was 60
ing to buy when the gong sounded.
There wasa pause-aud then, as though
understanding the meaning, he grabbed
his hat and never stopped running I'M
til he struck the door stOOp, when he
flew. The boy had iced the steps. The
little brother now taEos q cushion to
school with him--1i6any Journal.

He Could Hear.

Some time ago an engineer on the
Little Miami Railroad was suspended
because, after having been examined by
DR.. Clark, he was found to be quite
deaf. The engineer claimed at the time
that he could hear everything while run
ming his engine, but the doctor found
that in a still room he could not hear
ordinary conversation a foot away. The
engineer lives at Cincinnati, and re-
ceived treatment in that city for his dis
ease, but without any special benefit.
After being suspended eight months the
engineer again came to DR.. Clark and
insisted that he could hear perfectly
while on a moving engine. The doctor
thought he would test the case, and &C
Jompanied the man to Cincinnati, made
IA number of experiments with him on
engines. The result was that the doc
tor found the engineer was not only tell
ing the truth in regard to the matter,
but also that the deaf man could hear
low remarks and whispers on a moving
engine that even DIR. Clark's keen ear
failed to catch. The engineer was rein
stated to his former place. &c Columbus

FARM N GARDEN.
Handy Farm Implements.

All farms where beets or carrots are
grown for stock, or a large garden is cul-
tivated, there should be a hand garden
pillow. There are many kinds ofthesc now
AID a very good one car be had for four
or five dollars, and while not a substi-
tute for the hoe, they are valuable to
stir the soil and kill the young weeds,
and n will do the work of half dozen
men with hoes.
Ladders are usually conspicuous by
their absence on most farms, yet they are
cheap, and if well painted, durable and
very convenient.
l doubt if l ever got so much comfort
out of a dollar as by the purchase of a
coal shovel, writes w. F. Brown in the
Country Gentleman. l mean the broad
bladed flat shovels such as are used for
handling coal in unloading cars. L n
them so convenient for scraping up the
stables, for handling chaff or sawdust,
or shoveling meal or potatoes, that L
shall never do again without one of them.
They are made with a blade IA inches
wide, and in handling all light material
are very speedy.
A narrow longhandled spade is a great
convenience. l never could use a heavy,
short handled spade long at a time
without a lame back, and for years | have
kept one of these light spades and used
1t with great satisfaction. l buy the best
steel gravel shovel and have it cut down
to six inches wide and ten inches long,
and think that l can do one-third more
work with the same outlay of strength
than with an ordinary spade in all light
work such as spading along the rows OF
grapevines, raspberries, etc.

Winter Care of Poultry.

/ notice that much interest is shown
in the matter of winter laying of hens.
AS L have had good success in that line
this year, your readers may be interested
to know what has been done.
l. Stock. My brood consists of eight
pure Brahma hens, two years old; ten
Plymouth Rocks, and ten of a cross be-
tween a pure Brown Leghorn cockerel
and White Brahma hens, of which
twelve are eight and the balance six
months old; n Plymouth Rock and
n Brown LeghOrn cockerel.
2. Feed. First thing in the morning
a medium feed of three parts wheat and
one of corn. In the middle of the morn
ing the table scraps from breakfast
warmed up and a tablespoonful of con
centrated chicken food from the grocer's
stirred in. In the middle of the after
noon the dinner scraps are fed as they
run. We give no feed at night. Water
given in an open iron baking pan every
morning.
3. House. Moderate size, wood floor,
two small windows, floor raised a foot
from the ground, shelter shed ON one
side. No artificial heat. Well venti-
lated.
4. The Run. Since the middle of
October they have been free to forage in
lawn and garden.
s.. General Care. House cleaned
weekly in summer, and once a month
w~hitewashed with carbolic acid in rery
thin lime wash, fresh hay in nests and
roosts rubbed with kerosene. The run
spaded up twice in the year..
6. Results. But two chickens or hens
lost from sickness in two years. Pullets
began to lay at six months of age, the
