Timothy E. Tarsney is a Democratic
congressman knocked out at the late
election. He represented a salt and
lumber district in Michigan. Both ar
ticles were scheduled on the free list
in the Mills bill. When asked the
cause of his defeat Timothy replied:
sit was the tariff. My constituents
applied Bill Morrison's principles to
me. Four years ago l was elected by
1000 majority. l came down here and
voted for the Morrison horizontal re-
duction tariff bill and went back home.
They applied the horizontal reduction
system to me. Two years ago they
returned me with 800 majority. 1

Horses.

Many good horses devour large
quantities Of grain or hay, says .
horseman of experience, and still con-
tinue thin and poor. The food eaten is
not properly assimilated. II the usu-
al feed has been unground grain and
hay, nothing but a change will effect
any desirable alteration in the appear
ance of the animal. In case oil meal
cannot be obtained readily, mingle a
bushel of flax seed, with a bushel of
barley, one of oats, another bnshel
of Indian corn, and let it be ground
into fine meal. This will be a fair
proportion for all his feed. Or the
meal, or the barley, oats and corn, in
equal quantities, may first be procur-
ed, and u fourth part of oil cake
mingled with it when the meal is
sprinkled on cut feed. Feed two or
three quarts Of the mixture three
times daily, mingled with a peck Of
cut hay or straw. IT the horse will
eat that g%reedily, let the quantity
be gradually increased until he will
eat four or six quarts at every feeding
three times a day. So long as the an
imal will eat this allowance, the
quantity may be increased a little
every day. But avoid the practice of
allowing a horse to stand at a rack
we'll filled with hay. In order to fat
ten a horse that las run down in
flesh, the groom should be very par
ticular to feed to the animal no more
than he will eat up clean and lick his
manager for more.-Pittsburg Stockman.

Power of Fiddle Strings.

They convert terms and give elias
ITCHY to limbs that overwise stiffen
and are useless. Beau Hickman, the
celebrated wag, used to tell the story
that we can all see rehearsed every
day. The hall was crowded-the
fiddler had entered his stand-the
ladies We're in their gayest attire.
Beau bets with a comrade a full suit
of black that he can walk straight up
to any young lady in the hall, place
his hands on her shoulder and not a
word. not a stir would follow. ''No,
sir not if you let M pick the lady"
Agreed. Jack selected the most re-
firing, unfinching ,unapproachable dy
in the hall. While this selection was
being made, Beau steps up to the fd-
dler, places a full five III his hand and
warns him that the moment he steps
into the hall the most thrilling waltz
must be struck up. Agreed. In step
ped Beau-fOrth thrilled the music,
straight up to the selected lady march
ed Beau-taking his position as agreed,
both waltzed off for five minutes when,
by twos, the hall was o in one
grand brilliant whirl of the giddy
maze of the genuine terpsichorian art.
Well, what of it? 0, nothing. only a
proof that music converts insult into
waltz. That's all.-Erchange.

For Round Shoulders.

! have seen a STOPPING figure and
a hating gait. accompanied by the
unavoidable weakness of lungs Incl
dental to a narrow chest, entirely cur
ed BY the very simple and easily per-
formed exercise of raising one's-self
upon the toes leisurely in a perpendi-
cular position several times daily. To
take this exercise properly one must
take a perfect position, with the heels
together and the toes at an angle of
450. Then drop the arms lifelessly
by the sides, %animating and raising
the chest to its full capacity muscular
ly, the chin well drawn in and the
crown of the head feeling, as our pro-
fessor used TO pat it, as if attached to
a string suspended from tho ceiling
above. Slowly raise upon the balls
Of both feet to the greatest possible
height, thereby exercising all the mus
cles of the legs and body come again
into the standing position, without
swaying the body backward out of
the perfect line. Repeat this same
exercise, first on one foot then on the
other. 1t is wonderful what a straight
.ning-out power this exercise has upon
rouud shoulders and crooked backs.
and one will be surprised to note how
the lungs begin to show the effect
of such expansive development.

Everyone has = cure for sore throat,
but simple remedies appear to be
more e~ffectual. Salt and water is u.s.
ed by many as a gargle, but a little
slum and honey dissolved in a sage
tea is better. An application Of cloths
wrung out of hot water and applied
to the neck, changing as often as they
begin to cool, has the most potency
for removing inflammation of anything
we ever tried. 1t should be kept up
for a number of hours; during the
evening is usually the most convenient
time for applying the remedy.-Ex-

A grand blunder which almost all
parents and nursemaids commit is
that when the child takes a within
against doing what he is wanted to
do-will not eat his bread and butter,
will not go out, will not come to his
lesson, etc.-they lay hold of him and
drag him to his duties ; whereas a per-
sOn of tact will almost always attract
the child's attention from its own
obstinacy, and in a few minutes lead it
gently round to submission. Many
persons would think it wrong to
break down the child's self-will by
main force, to come to battle with
him and show him that he is the weak
er vessel, but these struggles only tend
to make his self-will more robust. If
you can skilfully contrive to delay
the dispute tor a few minutes and
draw his thoughts off the excitement
Of the contest, ten to n he will give
in quite cheerfully, and this is far bet
ter for him than tears and punishment.

The early Indian tribes who inhabit-
ed Mount Desert believed that the
Garden of Eden was situated at that
spot, and, according to their legends,
when the white man gave the name
of Eden to n part OF the island it
was only coming to its " again.
Strange as it may seem, the primeval
father of the Maine red man was a
youth with golden hair and eyes like
hazelberries, tall and of great beauty.
The Eve who came to him just when
his loneliness was getting unsupporta-
BILE first appeared coming through the
clouds. Her first exclamation at see
ing him was the Indian for 90 dear"
She at once cut off his golden locks
and began to weave them into Il strong
cord, growing larger as she proceeded.
At a suggestion from Monicho, the god
of evil designs, the man took the cord
from her and bound her with it,
when she ceased growing, but did not
stop working. The next thing she
did was to bend down a tall, green
stalk nea her and gather from it its
golden seeds, which she made into
bread, being thus the discoverer of
Indian corn. The couple, after teach
ing their children how to raise and
use this grain, were translated to the
constellation of the stars known as
Sickle, whence they still watch over
their earthly home. Lew iston (Me.)

At the Council on the 26th instant a
motion was made to change the nam
of Breaux Bridge into that of Breaux
City or Breauxville. The considera-
ton of this motion was postponed to
the next meeting, the majority, how
ever, being in favor of the change. We
do not see why. The first name given
to a town is generally the best, for it is
based on sound causes. 1t is historical.
Breaux Bridge was thus named because
it was Mr.. Pierre Breaux who built the
bridge which really made the town.
The union of these two words make
the history of the town and for no rea-
son ought it be changed. 1t is the
same with Baton Rouge and Bayou
Sara, for to those names are associated
sweet recollections. If our people are
ever called to decide on that matter.
let them with proper feelings stand to
the memory of the first days.-Breaux

we're no sensational developments in the
Halves murder case today. Judge Green
overruled the pending motion for change
OF venue on the ground that the newspa-
pers' publications were not such as to
warrant 1t. Col. Taliaferro, Hawes's lead
ing counsel, then made motion to quash
the indictment under which Halves was
being tried on the ground that the Grand
Jury, which returned it was illegally or
ganized. This too, was overruled. Col.
Taliaferro then made second motion to
quash the indictment, making the new
jury law in this State the basis for the mo-
ton. This was also overruled. A motion
for continuance was then read by the
defense. They claimed that important
witnesses were absent The State agreed
to have them on hand in due time and
court adjourned for dinner. The after
noon was consumed in securing special
jury for the case, and contrary TO every
body's expectation this was done before
the adjournment for the night. The court
