Measured.

One of the most valuable lessons to be
learned, in any course of education, is
that of exact conformity to rule. The
half educated person is apt to be SLOW
emily one; he acts on the supposition that
work imperfectly done will "do well
enough"
A laborer in a ship yard was one day
given two-foot rule, to measure q piece
of iron plate. Not being accustomed to
the use of the rule, he returned it after
wasting a good deal of time.
"Well, Mike" asked his superior,
officer, "what is the size Of the plate3"
"Well," replied Mike, with a smile
which accompanies duty performed,
sits the length of your rule and two
thumbs over, with this piece of brick,
and the breadth of my hand and arm,
from here to there, bar finger"

Dog Farming in China.

The rearing of dogs for their skins is
pursued in China just as sheep farming
is in Australia. There are thousands of
small dog and goat farms scattered over
the northern districts Of Manchuria and
Mongolia. Nature has provided mag
nifcent protection to withstand the cold
of these northern ATTITUDES, where the
thermometer (Fahrenheit) goes down to
25degrees below zero-thati is 81 oof frost,
and it is doubtful if the dogskins in
any other part of the world are to be
compared with those from Manchuria,
either in size, length of hair, or quality.
The fur is at it's best during the winter,
and the dog is killed before the thaw
sets in, which is affected not by the knife
which might injure the fur. but by
strangulation. Last year the value OF
the skins fell off owing to the stocks OF
previous years being undeliyered. 1t is
difficult to understand how the farmers
can rear the animals for the price they
obtain for the hides. To provide we'll
made dogskin rug, at least eight ami
mails must be slaughtered, which, at 8
taels per rug Of so inches by 68 inches
would allow not quite 55 cents per dog,
including the sewing, choosing, &c, for
the skins must fairly match in color
The flesh, however, is no doubt used for
human food, and the market value there
of enters largely into the farms profit
and loss account. When girl is mar

Log Cabin Success.

Robert CARROTS father left him fortune
nf twenty millions. He was from childhood
reared in luxury; he received a splendid
education with an especial training into
thorough knowledge of railroad management
and was expected 10 succeeu MS Iatner as q
railroad king.
Within three years after the responsible
flies which his fathers death threw upon him
were assumed, he is reported broken down
man, with mind and health permanently
shattered.
George Law is another young man left
with millions of money, who is reported
among the wrecks" His father, bred

with commensurate brain power, so he be-

king and left half dozen millions for his

pare the teas and syrups of roots, herbs and
balsams which drive disease out of the sys-

ill-effects. The most potent of these old

investigation, secured by H. H. Warner, OF

Artesfan Wells In SonOma.

A few weeks ago, according to the
Weekly Bulletin, ga fine flow of excellent
water was struck at depth of ninety
feet, on a lot little to the east of the
town of Sonoma, belonging to Mr.. Gil
bert The next attempt was made at
Mr.. Wrinkles vineyard, when at depth
of eighty-two feet flow of $4,000 gal
Ions per day was obtained. The tools
were then moved about $50 feet south to
the lands of J. Gundlach, where still
greater success was met with. At a
depth of one hundred and ten feet flow
of 100000 gallons per day was reached.
Both these wells are located in the loot
hills, considerably above the level of the
valley and supposedly in q very unlikely
place to find such result. The tools
penetrated successive layers of sand,
rock, and clay, the water being found
below the latter The water comes out
with considerable force, and will over
flow a pipe twenty feet above the sur
face. The fortunate owners of these
wells consider them worth not less than
$4,000 apiece. The temperature of the
water is constantly 70 deg. F., and what
is remarkable is that it is exactly the
same as that of several springs on the
other side of the valley, four or five
miles away. Many of the farmers and
fruit growers of the valley are arrang-
ing to put down wells"

YELLOW FEVER.
Prevention BETTER Than Cure.

Prevention Better Than Cure.
The following statement speaks for itself:
''This certifes that was, with my family,
resident of New Orleans during the terrible
Yellow Fever epidemic which visited that
city in 1878. We were strangers there, and
unacclimated, but having previously used
Ayers Ague Cure for malarial disorders, l
fully believed it would prove preventive Of
the scourge. I took the Ague Cure myself,
and had my little girls take it daily,
but could not persuade my husband to use
it. He fell sick of the fever and died, but
my children and were not attacked. Our
exemption from sickness at this time was
considered miraculous, but believe it was
Ayers Ague Cure, and feel sure that we owe
to this medicine the fact that we sur wed

nine children, have never had doctor in the
