An Episode Of Travel.
rom the Merchant Trnyeler.

From the Merchant Traveller.
He had on a high collar with lurid
stripes and a vest which, for colors,
would have dimmed the glories OF
Joseph's famous garment. He was
eating at the same table with mid
die aged, bald-headed man, who ap-
peared to be doing pretty much as
he pleased. He helped himself to wa
ter out of the young mans decanter,
and had remained apparently oblivi-
Gus to the indignant glances that
followed the proceeding. He had
given orders to the young mans
waiter and the latter had FASTENED
to fill them in preference to all 9th
ers. At length dispute arose as to
an open window.
"Put it down." said the young
man.
Leave it up" said the other.
"Who are you, anyhow" splutter-
ed the young man, who was thor
oughly aroused. 'Do you own this
hotel?"

Rhetorical Lies CutdOne.

There was an insurance man from
ST, Louis in town a day or two ago.
He is gentleman who can give Ba-
ron Munchausen and iii Perkins
both cards and spades in the diree-
ton of exaggerated fiction, Early in
the morning he met a couple of
friends and began to regale them
with tales OF his adventures.
He told how he was once stopping
on the fourth floor of a northern hotel
when he was aroused about 3a. m.
by an awful commotion. He had re-
tired with comfortable Gag" as a
bedfellow and very sleepy in con-
sequence. But he reused himself
sufficiently to GO to the window and
learn that the hotel was on fire. 1t
was bitter cold outside. The firemen
were at work in the street below. He
said he signaled two pipemen to
direct their stream i'm his direction,
They did SO. The stream froze solid
and he slid down to the aground upon
it, landing safely Then he began to
boast of the st. Louis breweries. He
answered all arguments in favor of
breweiies here by saying one brewery
in st. Louis extended twenty-seven
stories under ground, and that it
was found better to employ China
men in the lower story because it was
cheaper, being nearer China than st.
Louis. One of his friends rushed to
the telegraph office soon after this
and telegraphed that the insurance
man was dead. His company wired
back, What's the complaint" and
his friend answered, mo complaint
at all. Every one satisfied. Chi

The Best Time TO Marry.

Probably the best time for the aver
age civilized woman to marry, would
be any age between twenty-four and
thirty-s;x- 1t is not said that no woman
should marry earlier or later than either
ofthese ages, but youth and health and
vigor are ordinarily at their highest
perfection between these two periods
Early marriages are seldom desirable
for girls, and that for many reasops.
The brain is immature, the reason is
feeble and the character is uniformed.
The consideration which would PROMPT

nary building paper in the stable. AS

lath being two feet apart. Paper is an
excellent nOn-eonductor of heat, and
serves admirably in keeping out the
draughts. II should be used in all sta

warm.
Salt is seldom given poultry, under
The supposition that 1t is injurious,
which is true il the salt is given in
large quantities but recent expert
ments prove that salt is necessary to A
limited extent, as hens will lay more
eggs and remain In good condition by
allowing salt than if it is withheld en-
tirely. The proper mode of giving salt
to poultry is by seasoning the soft food
allowed The hens.

Afraid to Lie Down.

Who knows why birds sleep standing
on one leg? The position seems most
unnatural. Reasoning in advance, we
should pronounce it tiresome, if not
impossible attitude. Yet the canary
tucks its head under its wing, draws up
one foot. and goes to sleep, apparently
| with quite as much comfort as we ex-
perience on the best of mattresses. a
| writer in Horse and Stable notes sim
| liar, though less abnormal habit on the
part OF horses, who, it appears, are in
many cases very averse to lying down.
The writer once rode a mare seventy
miles in single day. The stable In
which she was put for the night was as
comfortable as it could well be made,
bat she stood up all night long. She
ate her oats and hay and then went to
sleep, leaning forward with her breast
against the mabger.
There are horses that have never been
seen to lie down, nor have any marks of
their having done SO ever been found
upon their bodies. 1 recall one that for
AiNCcA years OCCupicu PARTICULAR SLdil
in my grandmother's stable. Up to
the hour he died no one ever saw him
lying down, although special watch was
sometimes kept after he had been driven
for eight or ten hours.
Unless horse lies down regularly
bis rest cannot be complete, and his
joints and sinews stiffeE. 1t is true
that some horses that always sleep in
standing position continue to work for
many years. but it is equally true that
they would live longer and work better
If they rested naturally.
Young horses from the country are
liable TO refuse to lie down when first
put into stable in town, and the in
furious habit may become confirmed
unless special pains are taken to induce
a change. 8 ra
The indisposition to lie down is often
very pronounced in sick horses. They
seem to have an instructive fear that if
they lie down they may never be able to
rise, and continue on their feet till their
limbs refuse to bear them up.

who, for various reasons, cannot be
