He Got the .Joh.

When Amos Cummings arrived in New York, after the war, he had most excellent opportunity to be Q tramp. All he possessed beside job lot of ragged clothes on his back was twenty cents worth of postage stamps badly glued together. He wore pair of battered cavalry boots and about three quarters of a pair of trousers. The place where the missing parts of the latter should have been was concealed by sunburned army overcoat. In this garb he climbed up to Horace Greeley's editorial den and asked Mir. Greeley for job. He did not ask to be appointed to either the position of managing editor or foreman. He was willing to do any. thing. i94
 ''No place for you," squeaked MT. Greeley, without turning from his desk to look at the applicant, ''don't you see I'm busyl Gwayl Scat! Damitr
 "But tell you must have job" Mir. Greeley turned around his revolving chair, and glaring at Cummings, said: "Musti For what reason, young man, do you gay mustP'
 ''For this reason," replied Amos, turning his back on Mir. Greeley, lifting the drapery of his old blue overcoat and exhibiting the vacant places where the wild winds had whistled through his trousers.
 He got the job.-J. Amory Knox.

He Had a Winning Way.

A few years ago the Episcopal diocese of Kentucky appeared to be torn up with dis sensions about high and low church. The bishop unfortunately allowed his sympathies to be drawn out to one party as against the other, and thereafter becoming disheartened and discouraged, resigned. The present bishop, when called to the diocese, wal de termined to ignore these dissensions, aud if possible to harmonize his people, For some time no one was able to discover whether his sympathies were with one or the other party until, an occasion presenting itself in social circle, lady with the curiosity of her sex) said: Bishop, what are your viewsl We can't find out. Are you high church or low churchr Instantly the bishop replied "Madam, am high, low, Jack and the game" There are no dissensions now.-Pitts burg Post.

A Rather Frank Admission.

At recent gathering of Unitarians, one speaker recited an anecdote which admits of large and varied application. It was the story of a minister who, preaching on ex- horses. He was told after the sermon that he had touched one of their best members at a tender point. "Well," said the preacher, "I cannot change my sermon for him." In the evening the man was introduced to the min ister, who said: "I understand that what said touched one of your weaknesses. I as sure you that Twas altogether unconscious of the weakness when l said it." "Oh, do not trouble yourself" said the man. "It is e very poor sermon that does not hit me some. where "-New York Intelligencer.

Two Very p.nerent Relations.

He said that Col Smith, of Missouri, had twice been an unsuccessful candidate for con- gressional honors before the people. A local politician of some note, whom the colonel had time and again assisted financially, was opposed to him in politics, and therefore worked and voted against him. A few days after the second defeat of Col. Smith for congress he met his friend, who asked him for a loan of $50. a4.
 Look here, Sam," said the colonel, "how is it that when l run for office you always oppose me, but when you w~nt money you never fail to come to me2'

The Brilliant Idea That Struck Senator

The Brilliant Idea That Struck Senator
 Palmer.
 When Senator Palmer recently took score of prominent men to the Michigan club reunion at Detroit, there were few incl dents of the trip that the senator has thus far kept quiet. Among the diversions offered to his guests the senator suggested trip to his log house, few miles from the city. A party was made up, and the keeper of the rural retreat was told to get up dinner for fifteen persons. But in some way the word got round that Senator Palmer was going to give ''grand spread" at his log house, and when he and his guests started for their drive through the woods they were surprised to find other wagon loads going in the same direction.
 ''I think" said the senator, ''that it would be safe to raise that dinner order to twenty i've"
 Accordingly he stepped into a store that had telephone and raised his order to twenty-five. When the log house was reached, the senator was appalled, to find about 200 hungry and thirsty individuals awaiting his dinner. They were not inter- lopers, but men of distinction in Michigan attending the club reunion, and the senator's natural hospitality inclined him to treat them we'll
 "But what shall I dor appealed the dis tracted steward "Dinner for twenty-five and here are 200r'
 Cant you kill a Jersey cowr'
 "There isn't time."
 But here brilliant idea struck the senator.
 "Why, I'll tell you what to do," he said. "We'll call it a lunch, not dinner. Dinner for twenty-five ought to make lunch for 200" !" And thereupon the ''lunch" was spread. That it was Q success is indicated by the re- mark of one of his Washington guests.

Getting the Worth of That Ham.

"John, have you charged that ham,"
asked a grocer of his clerk few morn
ings since.
"What hama was the question in an
swcr.
THE ham that was sold about ten
minutes ago"
Il did not know that ham had Lcen
sold. did not sell any"
"Well, l did, and I don't remember
to whom l sold it. Do you not remem-
bcr2"
This is the first I knew of any ham
being sold"
The grocer thought he had lost the
price of the ham. Not so the clerk.
He looked over the list of orders and
tried to remember the persons who had
been in the store that morning. Then
he charged the ham to every one of
these persons, seventeen in all.
"Sixteen of these will kick" re-
marked the clerk, land the seventeenth
is the man who got the ham,"
The proprietor raised the clerks
! wages at once.
Both anxiously watched the result.
Of the seventeen persons to whom the
ham had been charged, just four did
the kicking act; the rest paid their
bills without further inquiry, so the
grocer got paid thirteen times for the
ham. Patterson q. j. Press

Hyacinths in Glasses.

I. If you choose your own bulbs,
look for weight as well as size; be sure
also that the base Of the bulb is sound.
?. Use the single kind only, because
they are earlier, harder and generally
preferable for glasses.
B. Set the bulb in the glass so that
the end is almost, but not quite, in con-
tact with the water.
4. Use no rain or pond water.
5. Donot change the water, but keep
small lump of charcoal at the bottom
of the glasses.
6. Fill up the glasses with water as
the level sinks by the feeding of the
roots and by evaporation.
:. When the bulb is placed put the
glass in a cool, dark cupboard, or in
any place where light is excluded,
there to remain for about six weeks, as
the roots feed more freely in the dark.
s. When the roots are freely de-
vclopcd, and the flower spike is pushing
into life (Which will be in about six
weeks, remove by degrees to the full
light and air.

The stranger wonders how, in St
Petersburg, for instance, the mark cts
and shops are kept as clean as they are
when the water is so filthy. One can
smell the water Of the Neva, which
furnishes the supply for drinking ard
household purposes, for mile on an
ordinary summer day. y native tells
me the reason things are clean. Every
day health officer goes about inspect
ing the shops and houses. Gendarmes
assist. If there is any stencil or decay
discernib,e, or any filth of any kind, the
place is arbitrarily closed, and kept
closed for weeks or months. There il
no resource, no help for it. Cleanliness
In the commercial centres IS an impera-
tive necessity. Many people have been
ruined in business by being closed by
the officers. They can never learn what
is wanted. The only reply is, "'You
must keep the premises clean" How
clean is not explained, and there can be
no appeal - Kansas City Journal.

The encra!-PurpOSe HOr>e.

A writer in the Western Farm Journal
discourses wisely: While it is be-
lieved to be impossible to produce an
all purpose horse or even to establish a
general purpose breed OF horses, it is be-
lieved to be entirely practicable to pro-
duce horses adapted to q variety Of pur-
poses, or gencrai-Iurpose horses, by the
use of sires of one or the other of the
we'll established spo al-purposc breeds;
and it IS my purpose to show that the
trotter possesses special characteristics
and is better adapted to the production
of the. general-purpose horse than
any other having breeding suf-
fcient to produce uniformity in the off
spring. While many ncral-purposc
animals are as profitable practically an
individually the equals of many special
purpose animals or full bloods, yet they
cannot perpetuate themselves as general
purpose animals, for the reason that a
sire whose breeding repres ents general
characteristics, however good he NAV be
as an individual, has no power of choos
ing whether he will give to his offspring
one quality or another, or "a combination
of any or all of them, and hence has no
power of producing uniformity in his
offspring.
The tendency in such cases is to trans.
nit only the qualities adapted to the
surroundings, which as often leads to
degeneration as to improvement. A sire
whose breeding represents only special

Feeding Corn and Oa1s.

f. II. stcuben Co., y. Y, writes to
tie Prairie Farmer: There is no qucs-
ton but that oats are the best grain we
can raise on which to feed horses; they
contain more of the elements of nutrl-
ton than any other grain, and therefore,
horses that are fed on oats can perform
their labor with a less degree Of fatigue
than when fed on any other article Of
food. oats are the most natural food for
horses; and with this grain they can be
brought to the highest state of physical
perfe ction. On the contrary, corn-fcd
horses lack vitality, sweat easily, and
consequently cannot perform 50 much
labor as will horses fed on oats. Corn
is d efficient in some Of the clements OF
nutrition so necessary to replace the
constantly worn out material Of the
body.

Good Butter,

To make good butter uniformly, re-
quires both Judgment and skill. There
is far more in the business than merely
milking the cows, skimmng the pans,
managing the cream and churning the
butter. All these, and more too, may
be done with care and precision, the
butter may be well worked, and after
all an inferior salt may spoil it. We
know a party whose butter is preferred
by good customers, because 'it is al
ways even and alike" qualities it could
not maintain except by constant care in
every operation Of manufacture or ma
nipulation. And there IS no branch Of
rural industry which ''pays" better than
butter making, after the reputation of
an especial "brand" has become estab-
Iishcd Persons who arc particular
about their butter ought to be willing
to pay good price for it, for it is not
easy to produce it. -LCincinnati Com

characteristics or IS a full-blood Of some
special-purpose breed must transmit to
his offspring these special qualities or
none, and hence must produce uniform
ity in his offspring. Aside from feed
and care, success in breeding general
purpose horses depends on choosing a
sire of some gencral-purpose breed
whose special characteristics come as
near as possible to what is desired IN the
offspring. = Our Country Home.

Dark stables are an abomination, and
should not be tolerated. There is no
necessity to sacrifice comfort, either in
winter or summer to secure enough
light. A horses eyes arc cnlarged---
the pupil of the eye is---by being kept
in dark stable; he has a harness put on
to him and suddenly brought out into
the bright, glaring sunlight, which con-
tracts the pupil so sud icnly as to cause
extreme pain. BY pcrscvering in this
very foolish and iAiudicious as we'll as
cruel practice, the nerves of the eye be-
come impaired, and if continued long
enough, loss Of sight will ensuc. To see
how very painful it is to face bright
light after having been in the dark, take
a walk some dark night for a
short time, till the eye becomes
accustomed to the darkness,
then drop suddenly into some we'll
lighted room and you will be scarcely
able to see for a few moments in the
sudden light. You know how pain
full it is to yourself, then why have your
horse repeatedly to bear such unneccs-
sary pain? y dark stable is invariably
damp one, and such stables we are not
willing to put either a valuable working
or driving horse in. Give good venti-
lation, let the sunshine and the air have
chance to effect an entrance, and your
stables will be purer and more healthy
than if you take such pains to exclude
them and the good influence they in
variably bring.
