New Thing in Stock Cars.

saw up at St. Charles the other day B new thing in stock cars, which is as much an improvement over the old kind as the drawiSg coach is over the emi- grant car. The Humane society could not have designed a more satisfactory convenience for the brute creation, and with this new idea to begin, the accom- modation of travelling stock will rapidly advance to the comfortable stage. Cattle and horses have always suffered tortures In box cars, and I think every humane man will rejoice to see endeavors made to assist their condition on a journey, These cars are modelled after the ordinary open box concern so as to give plenty of air. The floor is heavy and slanting, so as to afford drain. On top of the car is tank, to which pipe on either side connects. These run into four iron troughs, from which the animals can drink fresh water at every stop, supplied from the tanks. By turning a crank the troughs are turned and the old water thrown out. Above the animals heads are two hay racks with sliding wooden grates, which open and shut at the will of the operator on top of the car. These are great improvements for feeding and watering the stock, and it only remains for some genius to get the same number of cattle into the present car as is the custom and still give them room to lie dowp.-A Stockman in Globe-pemocrat.

A Perfect Wife in Tangier.

A Moorish gentleman, one Hasan, related to me the history of his three marriages and descanted on the perfec- ton of his present wife. The first, he said, was his cousin. He bought her beautiful clothes and furniture, but after some time she gave him words. Instantly he sent her back, with all he had given her, and took another wife. She lhad given him three girls, dead, and a boy, who still survives. The second wife went all right, till one day she took it into her head to go to the vapor bath without his permission.
 "Who gave you leave to go to the va DOT bath without me2n he asked. q don't require anybody's leave" an swered she. "And immediately, he added, with that energetic downward pointing gesture, T sent her home, with all the things I had ever given her." As regards the present wife, he was quite delighted with her. She made all the children's clothes and her own; she could sew with the machine; she cooked; she never required to buy a bottle of orange or rose water, so ex
 cellently did she prepare it herself above all, she never wanted to go outl ''Never once," he said, ':has she asked leave to go out-not from one years end to anotherl Never wants to leave the house or to see any one-never even crosses the street. Ah!" he said, "she is a woman of excellent reputa- ton !"-Vernon Lee in New Review.

4 Season In Washington.

This wintering in Washington is simply 'fad" that has become more or less a fashionable ''chronicism. and l know that it is not enjoyed half as much as some fashionable women would have one believe. A lady who passes her summers at Newport or Bar Harbor, and her win ters in France or Italy, with season in London thrown in, concluded to try a season in Washington. To the capital she went, with a retinue of servants and equipages, and established herself in one of the new palaces that abound in the northwest of the city. Two months have completely cured her, and Wash ington will hereafter be denied the light of her presence. She declares that there are more veXatious causes to disturb ones temper in Washington than in any other corner of the earth, and that life there is not worth the countless worries one must endure to enjoy @ it.
 The servant question alone is one which calls for special bill that even congress might interest itself in. All the servants in Washington are of the easy going southern darky type, with an in- dolence of manner and motion that to nervous northern individual becomes in time exasperating. They have not lost their knack of concocting toothsome dishes, every imaginable kind of hot bread, and other inviting things appre- ciated by southern epicures; but they Gin their own minds) stubbornly refuse to encourage 8 o'clock dinners and mid night suppers. The old fashioned 2 o'clock dinner, universally served throughout the south, is, to their way of thinking, much more sensible way of conducting this important item of days history. Now, when one takes fur nished house in Washington, one must necessarily take half a dozen, more or less, of the above type of servants, and this begins at once to unsettle any pro- posed life of ease and contentment.-- Max Eliot in Boston Herald.

Care of Neglected Children.

One of the most original and courage ous attempts to relieve the afflicted was made by Mrs. Cornelius Du Bois num- Der of years ago, in taking twenty chil- dren, pronounced blind, from Randall's Island. They were put in a comfortable house. well cared for and the best medical attention secured. In less than year seventeen of the twenty had their eye sight restored. It was not disease, but neglect, that had deprived them of it. Imagine the joy of these poor little souls that had been taught they must grope through life as in one long night. The light from seventeen pair of grateful eTes-what halo for the head of a good angell
 The next experiment will, to ears polite, seem q more daring one. There was at that time belief prevalent that the itch was not only 8 contagious, but an incurable disease, and when Mrs. Du Bois sent for twenty children who were suffering from 1t, Randal's Island drew breath of relief, and society in which the brave woman was leader buried it's face in a perfumed handkerchief. The children were exceptionally depraved, and in state too disgusting to be de- scribed. Care and cleanliness took the place of fire and sword, the Gospel prac- tically applied did the rest, and twenty healthy, happy and well behaved chil- dren grew up to call their benefactress blessed.-New York Press "Every Day Talk"

Love for Horses.

Once in the horse business always in the horse business might be put down as proverb. have known a good many men to get tired of race horses and sell out, but unless they sold out on account of age or infrmity they have always gone back to it. Look at Will Barnes. He sold his stables few years ago and swore he would never own another horse. He is now in the market buying a lot of yearlings, showing that he means to stay in the business. I could name a num- Der of others who have done just what Barnes has done. There is a fascination about racing that sticks to man through fe.-Interview in St. Louis Globe-pem- ocrat

Will the Iron Age End?


 ''I was talking with Mir. Chamberlain the other day." said Judge Tompkins, "who is a practical man of our coal and iron company. He made a startling suggestion. Said he: The time may come when all the iron mines of this country will be abandoned The most generally diffused metal on earth is aluminium. It is found almost invari- ably in clay, especially in red clay. It is now extracted from clay by very ex- pensive and tedious process, at a cost of more than $500 ton. Some one will invent a process for getting aluminium out of clay by rapid and cheap process. Then farewell to iron mines.
 q asked him what was the value of aluminium.
 "He replied that it has three times the strength of steel, and only one-third it's weight. This makes it, of course, the most valuable of metals. It was only discovered in 1928. It is bright, and it never tarnishes. Louis Napoleon offered s6,000 for a process for extracting it from clay, and two small bars of alumi- mum were presented to him by French chemist as the result. It was enormously expensive, but Napoleon had works estab- lished for extracting it, and he used it as substitute for the silver eagles that were borne above the armies of France. It has all the beauty of silver, is more lasting, stainless, and has only one-fourth the weight of silver. The eagles of France are thus made more resplendent, more enduring, and seventy five per cent. tighter in weight. You look out for aluminium. Some one will yet invent process for digging up common dirt and extracting therefrom this best of all metal. ."-Atlanta Constitution.

Need of Men, Not of Specialists.

The evil to be greatly apprehended, by reason of the tendencies of opinion in the popular mind of late, is, as it seems to me, that we shall bring for ward a generation of imperfectly edu- cated specialists in this country. No result is, in my judgment, more to be deprecated than this. Indeed, 1t may be doubted whether in every sense such a result could properly be regard ed as progress at all The fathers had at least wide outlook, as far as their field of vision reached. They believed in men, not in mere workers in the great human workshop. They be- lieved in individual men, full grown and matured in their whole manhood, and not in mere scholars orpractition- CTS in some one section of life or knowl- edge, whose mental culture should be limited to that one section.
 Men are what we need in this country; not lawyers, or physicians, or ministers, but men-men who, whatever may be their profession; men who, whatever may be the ex tent of their knowledge in their own peculiar science, know much that is beyond their science, and see the glory of all knowing and of all truth. Education, according to the true view of it, is like religion. It seeks the in dividual that it may bestow upon him, in himself, the fullness of its blessing It strives to perfect the world in its own sphere by making perfect the in dividuals who form the world It de- sires, and tries, therefore, regarding this as it's first and foremost work, to give completeness to each one whom it approaches.

The Great Northern Highway.

Three years ago the writer read an article about the Canadian Pacific rail way with a smile of incredulity. It sounded odd in his ears then, but in view of the present facts, and of the spectacle of cities springingup as if by magic, where but yesterday wilder ness was, he finds that it reads like prophecy now. One sentence of that article may pardonably be quoted here to point a moral and adorn this tale. It is as follows: "With just pride in her work, the greatest, perhaps, that has ever been accomplished by human hands, Canada presents this property to the empire as her contribu- ton to her power and unity-a new highway to Britain $ possessions in the east, guarded throughout by loyal hearts. But she will not rest with this. Her new iron girdle has given a mag netio impulse to her fields, her mines and her manufactures, and the mod est colony of yesterday is today an energetic nation with great plans and hopes and aspirations. ."-Walter F. Phillips in Journalist.

Deacon Ingraham and the Boar.

A boar belonging to Florence Dona- hue, a wealthy Irishman of Rockland, attacked Deacon Hiram Ingraham in his barn, whither he had strayed, rushed between his legs, upset him, carried him twenty-five feet to the edge of high walk, where the deacon fell off and the boar, weighing 400 pounds, fell on top of him, breaking his thigh, The deacon was laid up a long time and may be lame for life, as he is 7S years old,
 No settlement having been effected, the deacon sued Donahue for 5000 damages. The defense denied that Donahue owned the boar, and said that he had sold him to his son Frank, and showed Franks book to prove the sale. Plaintiffs counsel contended that the entries were fraudulent and made subsequent to the deacon's inju ries, in different ink and after the other accounts had been footed up and transferred to the ledger. Thus the case went to the jury, which, after having been out a short time, returned a verdict of $57725 for the deacon.- Lewiston Journal.

Hungry Iowa Rats.

Lewis Johnson, of Falesburg, Ia., had a horrible experience with rat He awoke from his sleep with a jump to find a big rat nibbling at his eye brows. It was long time before he could go to sleep again, and when he did the rat made use of its opportu, nity. It crawled again on the top of the bed and began to feed on MT. Johnson's nose. It only took a good bite or two, sinking the teeth deeply, Lewis was too much hurt and terrif1ed to tell for while what had Happened. The nose was badly swollen from the effects of the biting.-Exchange,

Social Opportunities Are Equal.

There is no good reason why the me- chanic should not play the piano or the banjo if he is so inclined; none why he should not keep himself cleap and re- spectable and go into society; none why the doors of mansions should not open as wide to him as to the salesman in a store. If the daughters of Squire TinseI look down upon mechanic and smile upon counter jumper, the former may console himself that he is no loser by the preference, and that he may save the money the latter expends upon concert tickets and carriages.-Oliver Optics Letter
