Wood For Fine Furniture.
Scientific American.

Scientific American.
Oak-finished antique will be as
much used as ever in the manufac-
ture of furniture next year. 1t is the
most popular of all the woods, and
the demand for it is steady, and no
signs of change in popular favor are
apparent. Walnut is nowhere in the
race with oak for popularity, and
furniture OF that richest of all materi-
ais, especially for the bedroom,
boudOir and dining-room, remains in
the ware-rooms uncalled for and in
no demand. Mahogany is used now,
as it always was and will be, for the
finest goods, and cherry takes a high
rank, but oak stands fist in favor and
will continue in the front for another
year at least, and probably much
longer, as there is nothing to take its
place. For the cheaper grades of
furniture, ash, maple, birch, and
these woods, with various stains and
finishes, continue, as they always
will, in favor.

Hints About Horses.

1t costs more to keep poor horse
than it does to keep good one.
Change the feed for your horses
often enough to make them relish it.
Improper feeding is the cause
Of nine out of ten cases Of sickness
among horses.
Every time you worry your horses
you shorten their lives and days of
usefulness.
Sweat and dust cause the horses
shoulders to gall. So do poor, i'll
fitting collars.
Affection can not be pounded into
animals. Kind treatment insures
the affection of an animal, while
rough treatment is sure to cause its
hatred.
The temperature ofwater for horses
is not so much Of an object as the
purity of it. While it is best to have
it free from all impurities.
1t is alike dangerous to other horses
and men to spare the life of a CLAN
dered horse. Chambers is IA highly
cotagious, incurable disease, and, as
a rule, fatal in the human subject.
Animals of vicious habits should
never be used for breeding purposes,
as vices are transmitted. BY careful
breeding in this respect, the dis
positions of the animals can be
partially controlled.
When horses are suffering from the
bites of flies or stings of other insects,
sponge the parts that can not be
protected by nets, with water in
which insect powder has been mixed
"a tablespoon to two gallons of
water.
Mares in fOal should have exercise
and moderate work, and under no
circumstances should they become
subjected to harsh treatment, nor
should they ever be allowed. to go
where they would be in danger of
being frightened.
Of two colts similar in disposition
and sense, one may develop into IA
steady and valuable family horse,
while the other may be everything
that is vicious, treacherous and I'M
safe-all because of a difference in
the men handling them.
Plenty of whitewash should be
used, not only for the brighter APP
pearance, but also as disinfectant.
Hot whitewash on the inside of
barns, stables, poultry houses and
pig quarters, will aid in preventing
vermin and insects.
What the colt requires is plenty OF
exercise, a clean place to sleep,
shelter from bitter storms, plenty OF
good grass ofdifferent varieties, good,
clean hay without dust, and good,
sound oats. Colts raised in this way
will not look 50 well nor win as many
premiums, nor sell for as much
money, but they will last.

English and American Phrases.

Seeing Both Ways,

Nature has enabled some animals
to see objects behind them as well as
in front without turning around.
The hare has this power in a
marked degree. Its eyes are large,
prominent and placed literally. Its
power of seeing things in the rear is
very noticeable in greyhound cours-
ing, for though this dogis mute while
running, the hare is able to judge to
a nicely the exact moment at which
it will be best for it to double.
Horses are another instance. 1t is
only necessary to watch a horse,
driven invariably without binders,
to notice this. Take for instance
those on tramways. Let the driver
even attempt to take the whip in
hand, and if the horse is used to the
work he will at once increase his
pace. The giraffe, which is a very
timid animal, is approached with
the utmost difficulty, on account of
its eyes being so placed that it can
see as well behind as in front. When
approached, this same faculty enables
it to direct with great precision the
rapid storms of kicks with which it
defends itself.

The Browns.

Brown has home full of girls and boys,
Rosy aud healthy and full of noise
They are sprightly at work and bright at
their books
And are noted for smartness and wit and
good looks.
Brown is healthy, his wife is fair,
And their faces are free from wrinkles of
care.
And they spend no money for powders and
pills,
And never dollar for doctors bills.
1t is because they begin in the right place,
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, by
keeping the springs of life pure, the blood
free from impurities, wards off all those d.
seases which spring from bad blood. The
use of the discovery" prevents liver and
kidney troubles, dyspepsia, consumption or
lung scrofula, stomach and bowel troubles,
and forestalls the beginning of disease.
That is why the Browns are so healthy. 1t
is also guaranteed to cure these ailments if
taken in time and given II fair trial, or mon.
ey paid for it will be refunded.

MOORISH AGRICULTURE.
How Land-Rents and Farm Labor Are
Paid In Morocco.

now Land-Rents and Farm Labor Are
Paid In Morocco.
In the course of q report recently
laid before Parliament on the agricult-
ure of Morocco, the British Consul at
Tangier remarks on the prejudice of
the Government against the exporta-
ton of grain, which is carried to such
an extent that shipments between two
Moorish ports are not allowed. The
ground of the prohibition is that the
price Of bread, which forms almost the
only food of the poorer classes, would
rise so as to bring the people to the
verge of starvation. There are no
roads properly so called, and there
fore the transport of grain by land is
very expensive, so that the price varies
greatly in districts comparatively close
to each other. The quantity of seed
sown in each district is only what is
judged sufficient for the wants of the
immediate neighborhood, and when
the season is good the crop will some
times not repay the cost OF cutting.
Within sight of Europe, and only four
or five days by sea from London, the
consul has seen fields of corn aban-
doned because they would not be worth
the cost of harvesting. In the Tangier
district much of the land is govern
ment property, being held by a
kind of military tenure; near the
towns and among the hill tribes,
mosques and other religious institutions
have considerable endowments in real
property which have been bequeathed
to them many Moors also own large
properties, but a considerable portion
OF the land is held by small farmers on
a description of metayer tenure, one
quarter-of the crop being paid to the
landlord. Labor is paid on the same
system, the plow-man receiving fifth
of the crop, Il certain quantity of corn
for food while working and a pair of
shoes. For this pay he plows the land,
tends a pair OF oxen, sows, reaps and
threshes. When there is heavy yield
of corn, and speed in harvesting is de-
sirable, the custom is to call all the
villagers in for one day to do the work
without pay. The price of agricultural
labor is about ninepence day for men
and half that for women. Native farm
ers are averse to manuring the ground,
alleging that it only causes the crop to
be choked by weeds. Rotation of crops
is practiced, barley, peas, beans and
lentils alternating in dry ground;
wheat, beans, millet and maize on
colder ground. In formerly years Moors
used to take pride in breeding good
horses and certain localities were Gel
ebrated for the excellence of their
breeds But the art appears to be now
lost. The ideal barb is scarcely to be
met with, but there are still numbers
of really good horses in the country.
Wealthy MoOrs will pay higher price
for fine mule than for a good horse.
Camels are the pack animals and dom
keys for lighter loads. -Frank LeSIie'S

EARNEST MIG Artery IN TIL INrER'OCEAN,
You may take the world as it comes and
goes,
And you will be sure to find
That fate will square the accounts she owes,
Whoever comes out behind;
And all things bad that man has done,
BY whatsoever induced,
Return at last to him, one by one,
AS the chickens come home to roost
You may scrape and toll, and pinch and
save,
While your boarded wealth expands,
Fill the cold, dark shadows of the grave
In nearing your life's last sands.
You will have your balances struck some
night
And you'll find your hoard reduced,
You'll view your life in another light
When the chickens come home to roost.
You can stint your soul and starve your
heart
With the husks Of a barren creed,
But Christ viii know ii you play part,
n Will know in your hour of need;
And then as you wait for death to come
What hope can there be deduced
From Il creed alone? You will lie there
dumb
When your chickens come hume to roost.
Sow as you will, there's time to reap,
For the good and the bad as well,
And conscience, whether we wake or sleep,
Is either heaven or hell.
And every wrong will find its place,
And every passion looSed
Drifts back and meets You face to face
When the chickens come home to roOst.
Whether you are over or under the sod,
The result will be the same:
You cannot escape the hand of God;
You must bear your sin or shame.
No matter what's carved on marble slab,
When the items are all produced
You will find that st. p eter was keeping tab,
And that chickens come home to roOst.

A Watch Dial.

Probably not one person in ten can
name off-hand the numerals on a
watch or clock dial. The unlearned
nine will usually declare that they
can, and will proceed confidently to
enumerate them according to the old
Roman system-I, II, III, ". This
is wrong. Watches have iii where
one might expect to see ~. All the
big public clocks have their dials
numbered in this way, says the New
York Sun, including old Trinity and
st. Pauls. There is probably only
one exception to the rule in this city,
and that is the stone dial Of st.
Georges Episcopal church in East
Sixteenth street. A reporter asked
all the watchmakers in Benedict'S
why I'LL were used instead of "
and they said they didn't know but
surmised that it was because " and
VI look somewhat alike at a cursory
glance, especially to left-handed
man; iii were substituted to pre-
vent confusion. On the cruise of the
American yacht club three years ago
twenty bottles of champagne were
lost by yachtsmen who were willing
to back their declaration that they
could name the numerals. Only one
man won his bet, and he had an old.
fashioned watch.

meetings have accomplished nothing beyond
fixing upon 5000, 600 tons as the output for
November; sales are generally below the
schedule, stove at s. 80.
Liquidation in wheat continues, with
prices cents lower than a week ago, and
sales of s., 900, 900 bushels here. Stubborn
facts, heavy receipts and scantv exports wear
out the patience of those who have had faith
in worlds famine, and State official reports
indicate larger yield than those of the de-
partment. Corn is three-eighths of cent
higher. with sales of $500, 600 bushels, and
the export movement still exceeds last years.
Pork products are weak, and in hogs the de-
cline has been go cents per 100 pounds.
OIL has risen cents, coffee is unchanged
and sugar is again lower. Cotton continues
downward, receipts exceeding those OF the
same week last year by 40, 600 bales, and ex-
ports by $4,000 bales, and while there has
been touch of snow in Virginia, the dread
ed frost in cotton States is still deferred.
STOCK SPECULATION.
The market for securities has been weak,
in spite of relief in the money market and
some very favorable reports regarding par
ticular properties. The traffic arrangement
between Union Pacific and Chicago and
Northwestern is thought to foreshadow an
of the so-called Presidents
Association, and an attempt to secure more
effective consolidation. Earnings are 1OK
per cent larger than last years for February
thus far, but the Pennsylvania statement
for September shows a very scanty increase,
and causes disappointment. On the whole,
the speculative markets are not promising,
and are judiciously let alone by the public.
But the outlook for all departments of legit-
innate business is more encouraging than it
has been for long time.
The business failures during the last
seven DAYS number, for the United States
1888, and for Canada 81. For the cores
ponding week last year the figures were 222
failures in the United States and 80 in the

A SALE OF SKULLS.
Auction of a Good Peruvian Collection
Mummies and Other Antiquities Sold
at Ruinous Frices-A special.
lists Collection Sold

tsPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE pIsPATCH.I
NEW YORK, October 25.-Mummies and
human skulls we're sold this afternoon by
auction at the art rooms of George A.
Levitt & Co., on Broadway. The skulls
brought all the way from 121z to go cents
each, according to their state of preserva-
tion. One lot of four skulls, in which the
lower jaw was lacking and which were
otherwise disfgured, brought so cents.
Another of six pieces, which was advertised
as a fine lot for museum or collection, was
knocked off for total OF S. go. Mummies
realized cash value of from 81 to So. An
imperfect one, wrapped in Guanaco robes
and wearing a crown, and which looked as
though it might once have been the body of
a Peruvian of influence, was bid off at 81.
Three others, each in sitting posture, with
the legs and arms bent and tied to the body,
brought from 81 so to So.
The skulls and mummies we're portion
of a collection of Peruvian antiquities,
which embraced also funeral vases, jars,
diotas, urns and bottles, in terra Gotta of
different colors and in all sorts of shapes,
though the gourd shape seemed to prevail.
Tie collection was gathered from the
metropolis at Ancon and the immediate
vicinity, by George W. Kiefer, who devoted
nine years to the work, and whose hope it
was to dispose of his collection entire to
some American museum. He, however,
contracted disease in Peru which ended
fatally, few months ago, and to-day the
fruits of bis researches were disposed of
under the hammer.
The collectiod was one of the most re-
markable ever got together, comprising
many curiously shaped vases which it is
believed cannot be duplicated in any mu-
scum. Most of the more common articles
went for mere song, but some rivalry
sprang up when it came to the mummies
and the rarer specimens of pottery. Prices
ranged from cents, which was paid for
each OF four gourd rattles, such as might
once have tiekled the fancy OF Peruvian
baby, to S14 5O which was given in e1-
change for funeral vase of oval shape, with
carvings that passed for ornamentations,
and which was found in kings tomb. This
was bought by Charles Stiegerwalt, of Lam
caster, Pa, who was the largest purchaser of
the day. The collection was catalogued by
Ed Frosard, who found it no easy task, as
Mr.. Kiefer left no notes of any kind in ex-
PLANTATION ofthe various oddities.
