Stories of Horses

A Baysville GA horse which lost
all Its teeth in a recent accident
has been fitted with q set OF false
ones.
A horse in Norwich, Conn, swallow
ed large ball of Irvine the other day
and had to be held while two men
pulled the cord out OF its month, I'M
travelling it inch by inch.
A drover in West Plains, Neb., has
trained one Of his horses to go out and
drive the cattle home. At FIVE o'clck
every evening the animal starts out
unbidden and duly appears in the
course OF an hour at the heels of the
herd.
Cowboys in Franklin county, Tex,
frightened u wild pony into dashing
blindly over q preoipice into u river
thirty feet below. After the lapse of a
few moments the pony appeared, climb
ing on the opposite bank, and dashed
away, apparently uninjured by his big
dive.
A Maryland horse has developed a
wonderful appetite for oysters. A pail
OF the succulent mollusks was recently
left in his stall by mistake. He at once
devoured them, and since then he
manifests the greatest delight when
any of the bivalves are put where he can
get them.
James McCord, of Lodi, owns q
horse on his Dakota farm which has
eight feet. 1t is perfectly formed in
all respects, except that it has eight
feet. Not until the pasterns or fetlocls
joint Is reached in the descent from the
shoulder to the foot is there any APP
parent difference between this horse
and any other. But at the pastern joint,
or lower end of the shin bone, the
branch begins, and two perfectly: form
ed feet are found on each of the four
legs. The horse runs on the range
the same as any and as fast as most of
them, and all eight feet are shod, or
may be il desired.

Origin Of "uncle Sam. .

Speculation has recently arisen re.
garding the origin of the term ''Uncle
Sam" as applied to the United States
government.
In the war OF 1912, between this
country and Great Britain, Ebert An
derson, OF New York, purchased in
Troy, N. r., large amount of pork
for the American army.
1t was inspected by Samuel Wilson,
who was popularity known as "Uncle
Sam" The barrels ofpork were marked
"E. A., U. S., the lettering being done by
q facetious employee Of Mr.. Wilson.
When asked by fellow-workmen the
meaning of the mark (for the letters
U. s., for United States, were then al
most entirely new to them), said she
did not know, unless it meant Ebert
Anderson and Uncle SAM" abiding to
Uncle Sam Wilson.
The joke took among the workmen,
and passed currently, and "Uncle Sam"
himself being present, was occasional
ly rallied on the increasing extent OF
his possessions. Soon the incident ap-
peared in print, and the joke gained
favor rapidly, it penetrated and was
recognized in every part of the coun-
try, and, says John Frost, tho Boston
historian, will no doubt continue so
while the United States remains q ma
ton.
1t is now firmly imbedded in the Mo
sale of our language, like "Tippeca-
noe," "Log Cabin" and other short
but expressive phrases, which refer to
importent events in the history of tho
Republic. Both "Tippecanoo" and
LOG Cabin" have taken on renewed
force and vitality since their adoption
by Hon Ii. III. Warner, of Safe Cure
fame, in the naming of two ofhis great
standard remedies, the principal one
known as Warmers Log Cabin Sarsa-
parilla. They are based upon formu-
lac SO successfully used by our ances-
tors in the cure of the common ailments
to which their arduous labors rendered
them liable in the good old Log Cabin
days.
The name of Warmers Safe Cure,
likewise, win be held in high esteem,
as familiar as household word, while
it continues to cure the worst forms of
Kidney Disease, which the medical
profession confesses itself unable to do.

Farm Notes.

II an orchard is in grass, and the
trees are large enough to densely
shade the surface, the pasture will not
amount to much. Grass needs sun
light to make it nutritious. Stock fed on
shaded pasture must be grain fed be-
sides, or they will not thrive.
To fill up wet hole to make it dry
is usually very slow and unsatisfactory
business. After much labor has been
expended, the only result is to make
the wet place somewhat larger than it
was before. A stone or tile drain sunk
through the hole deep enough not to

outlet, will make the wet spot the dry

And viewed the whole complacently.

Mr.. John Wake, informs us that Mr.. E.

says this is the second time he has sustained q

Hawkeye Insurance Co., Of Des Moines, is an

STATEMENT

From an Old Resident OF Newton,
Jasper County, Iowa.
For many years Ihave been troubled
with inliammatory rheumatism. Last
spring it was unusually severe and pain
full; my limbs and feet were badly swol-
len, entirely disabling me from attend
ing to my farm work. Upon advice, l
begin taking Hibbard's Rheumatic
Syrup. Five bottles entirely cured me.
/ never took any medicine that acted
SO beneficially upon my stomach, liver
and kidneys as this remedy.

Deyhle'S Variable Lens.
New York Star.

new OTk SldI.
Prof. VIM. J. Hazard, OF st. Louis,
is staying at the Astor house. The
murder Of Jeweller Gesswein on John
street recently by Christian Deyhle,
the inventor, came up as we were
talking few nights ago, and Prof.
Hazard said:
"This brings to my mind the sensa-
ton that Deyhle's invention, or the
one that he claims to have made, ere
ated when it was first made known.
Scien tific men throughout the world
realized shat valua BILE discO&ry had
been made, and although ths9irst in
vention was rather incomplete and
unreliable it was rapidly improved.
The invention was variable water
lens, and was suggested by the Pc
culiar power possessed by the human
eve in changing it's focal length by
altering the shape OF the chrystallins
lens. The invention as it now stande-
complete, consists OF two fine glass
disks set in ring frame, the space be,
tween them being filled with water.
1.-THE water is connected by means
of flexible pipe passing through the
| ring with reservoir that may be
raised or lowered to change the pres
sure of the water in the ring. The
advantage of this arrangement is
found in the expansion or contraction
of the glass sides of the lens, under
the variations of pressure. When the
pressure is increased the glass bends
outward thus making the lens thicker
and changing its focal length. The
elastic limit of such disks of glass
however thin, must be small, and the
changes in the focal length of the lens
would be limited, yet there would
seem to be no reason why. with Other
transparent material such as mica, 8
lens might not be constructed in this
manner, having wide range of focal
length. Such lens would be inval'
liable for laboratory work."
