The Picturesque Mule.

Few of us realize what an imp ortan
factor of army life in its picturesque
aspects was afforded by this ungainly.
slab-sidod creature, with its disc"rd-
ant voice, ready heels and tremendous
reserve of energy. Recall any picture
of camp or march, and, if your mem-
ory is retentivc of such details, you
will be pretty sure to find a pair OF
long. pointed ears. and serious, half
discouraged mule-eyes somewhere on
the canvas. Edwin Forbes has intro
duced them to excellent advantage il
his admirably etched series of sketches
of life in the Grand Army, which he
made in the field; and save where
actual fighting is in progress they are
almost of necessity part and parcel OF
the scene. Not that the quadruped
was indsposed to take his place in the
forefront of battle when duty called
him there. Not ut all; the list OF
killed, wounded, captured and miss
ing mules is long one, or would be,
if it could be completed, and the steed
was, as a rule, far more willing to GO
into action than was his non-com.

AMERICANS ABROAD.
Men and Women Who Are Not Repre-
sentatiyes of Their Country.


Some Of the Americans who visit
Europe are such odd personagcs that
it is not to be wondered at if they
give the people they meet a queer idea
of our nation. Some Of these are
very fond Of boating that they come
from part of our country where cur
rants are as large as grapes, grapes
as bio as plums, plums the size Of
peaches, peaches ike melons, melon:
as big as great clothes baskets, and
other things to match. Others com.
plain if they can not have lCe-watcI
and griddle cakes in every European
city they visit; while others again are
continually growing and gTumbIing
because walters and drivers expect
small fees, not considering that at
home they not only pay very
much more at hotels, and
for carriage hire, but sometimes
are expected to give fees which are
ten times as much rs the poor people
of Europe are accus: omed to receive.
| once saw an American girl. whose
parents had become very rich since
her education had been finished whc
was walking through the galleries of
the Louvre. She had been looking at
some pictures by Raphael. all OF which
represented the Virgin Mary, and
turning to companion, she said y
do believe this painter must have been
n Catholic!
But such Americans are not true
representatives of their country; and
it is very certain that Europe contains
no more delightful people than many
Of our countrymen and countrywomen
with whom we become acquainted
abroad. -Frdnb r. Stockton, in St.

METHODS OF QUACkS.
How They yictimize Ignorant and Cred
uIous individuals.

How They yictimiEe Ignorant and Cred
ulous individuals.
The newest form Of imposition upon
the public on the part of quacks has
taken the form of circular letters or
pamphlets asking for a statement Of
physical trouble from the person ad-
dressed. The quack (who is often 2
skiIlful physican) obtains the names Of
number of people of the desired
class, and sends them a number of
questions, intended to reach any dis
ease or symptoms which they may
have He pictures diseases in dis
tressing manner. and if hearkened to,
especially by women, would lead the
reader TO suppose he or she has any
dread physical trouble. He promises
10 diagnose the case and give free
treatment Some are taken in by his
promise, who never have been sick.
aud they get an answer which makes
them think they have incipent con-
sumption, bronchitis, heart trouble OF
some other serious complaint 1t is
wonderfully odd how the most sensible
people are led astray by slight symp-
toms. and how easily they can become
convinced that they have terrible dis
eases. 1t is the easiest thing in the
world to make man or wom.
an hypochrondiac, and 8
physician who tries TO persuade
one TO believe himself or herself sick
can accomplish his object withou,
difficulty. This is one of the reasons
Il good physician tries to persuade 2
patient that he is not very i'll, even
when he is. l have lately had my at
tention called to this methed of quacks
to make money by patients coming to
me for examination after having an
swered circulars sent TO them. One
of them was firmly persuaded she had
asthma, much to my disgust. Where
does the profit come in? Let me re-
late the. case of young man who
came TO me for treatment He had q
complaint he did not wish known,

symptoms. There came to him in re-
ply package of medicine by express,
C. o. D., with $40 charges. He re-
fused to accept the package declaring
he had ordered no medicine but ha'
simply asked advice. A lawyer cam'
10 him few days later to threaten +
lawsuit. Rather than have the pub
licity the foolish fellow was frightened
into paying the money. Ordinarily
however, the quack sends an answe
and advises his treatment, and in tha
way makes his money. The advice o
every honest physician is to leave cir
culars offering free treatment alone
The experiment has cost more in the
end than the treatment of an honor
able practitioner. 81. Louis Globe

TOMATO CANNERlES.
How They Are Conducted In the Rural
Centers of New Jersey.

The several tomato canning fac
tories in New Jersey put up from 200.
900 to 1000 900 cans apiece last
autumn. Farmers raise the vrge-
tables and sell them by weight at
about six dollars a ton. The toma.
toes first 90 into "scalder, where
they are immersed in hot water while
in a basket, and soon lifted out and
taken to women, who skin them, the
most expert earning one dollar and
fifty cents to two dollars day. The
skinned tomatoes are put into a hop
per, from which they are mechanic
ally forced into cans. To prevent
having light cans. woman inspects
each one.
Generally each can is capped and
soldered one at a time; but ma.
chine has been invented. and has been
considerably used, that will solder the
caps on ten cans at once. and the
machine can be operated by an un
skilled workman. The cans are next
put in hot water. where for an hour
or more their contents are scalded.
After cooling the cans are again in
spectcd for imperfect ones. a few
days thereafter the labelling is done,
and then the cans are packed in cases

FIGHTING HORSES.
A Pierce Encounter Between Two STALL

Some horses. of course, are almost
Incurably vicious, and must be con-
quered by main force. OJe pleasing
brute on my ranch will at times rush
at a man open-mouthed like q wolf
and il is regular trick Of the range
stations In great many-indeed.
in most localities there are wild
horses to be found, which although
invariably of domestic decent being
eitheI themselves ruuaways from
some ranch or Indian outfit. or else
claiming such for their sres and
dams, yet are quite as wild as the am
telope on whose domain they have in-
truded. Rauchmen run in these wild
horses whenever possible, and they
are but little more difit cult to break
than the sO-called lame" animals.
But the wild stations are, whenever
possible, shot; both because OF their
propensity for driving off the ranch
mares, and because their inCurable
viciousnesS makes them always un-
safe companions for other horses still
more than for men. a wild stallion
fears no beast Except the grizzly, and
will not ALWAYS finch from an en-
counter with it, yet it is curious
fact that a jack will almost always
kill one in a fair fight. The particu-
lars Of fight of this sort were related
TO me by a cattle man who was en-
gagged in bringing out bloodcd stock
from the East Among the animals
under his charge were two great stall
ions, one gray and one black and
fine jackass, not much over half the
size Of either Of the former. The ami.
mails were kept in separate pens, but
one day both horses got into the same
inclosure, next TO the jack-pen, and

several times within the past thirty
five years; is the great shipping port
of the two Burmahs; doing a trade OF
nearly 800 900, 900 a year. In rice ex-
