An amusing story is told of a
wealthy old lady who had frequent
ly expressed ner intention of leav-
ing all her money to her favorite
servant. One day the servant was
sitting in the kitchen talking to her
sweetheart, when she said, II wish
the old lady was dead"
A parrot which belonged to the
lady had overheard this wicked re-
mark, and every time it's mistress
was in its presence it cried, II wish
the old lady was dead" The lady,
getting annoyed at hearing it SO
often, went to her minister and told
him about it, upon which he prom
Used to send parrot of his, which
was a very religious one, to stay be-
side hers for day or two, and see
if it would convert it. This was
done, and the lady going into the
room where they were kept few
days after, was rather taken aback
at hearing .ler own parrot tcrying
out, Il wish the old lady was dead, .
and the minister's parrot respond
ing in solemn tones, "Amen, amen. F"

No worm or insect is ever found
upon the eucalyptus tree, or i'll the
earth where it's roots permeate. A
row of trees planted through an
orchard or vineyard will cause
insects, worms, and caterpillars to
vacate that region. The branches
of the eucalyptus used in the rooms
or windows, or as decorations in
dwelling rooms, will cause mousqui-
toes, moths, feas, and flies to leave
the premises, and when the leaves
are placed beneath carpet around
the border Of the room when the
carpet is laid, Is an insurance
against the moth, and branches
placed beneath the beG pillows, a
protection against heas.

The time is not very long past
when it was standing disgrace not
to fight a duel when challenged.
The growth of christian sentiment
has changed that. To-day if man
or boy tells another that he lies,
the accused is expected to indicate
himself, by showing that he is master
of more brute force than his accus.
er. l reckon that halt of the
church members would encourage
the "knock- down" method of estab.
lisEing ones veracity. 1t is as un.
reasonable and wicked as the old
duelling sentiment, and like that
sentiment must give way to the
growing Christian influences of the
age.

There is a funny story about the
method employed to get drinks at
FL Passo, Eagle Pass, Laredo and
other border towns on the boundry
line between Texas and Mexico.
A Mexican dollar is worth only 90
cents in the United States and the
Mexicans retaliate by only valueing
one of our dollars at 80 cents. A
fellow goes to barroom on our side
at one of these border towns and
buys a drink, and the United States
bar keeper gives him back Next
can dollar as change. The fellow
then goes over to Mexican bar and
buys his drink and gives Mexican
dollar. The Mexican bartender gives
him a drink and one of our dollars
for the Mexican dollar.-Thus, he
goes back and forth and drinks all
day long at night he has either a
Mexican or a U. S. dollar and is not
out red cent. If the fellow choos.
es beer at 5 cents glass, he makes
a nickle every time he buys a drink
Of course this will not work unless
he gets Mexican dollar at the U
S. bar and Z. s. dollar at thu
Mexican bar room.

THE sToCK-RANCH.
Catarrh and Foot.Rot.

Catarrh in any animal is the result of
O cold in which the Inflammation has
become chronic and purulent. In this
case it is more than skin deep, because
the absorbed matter has made the blood
impure, and this impurity must be got
rid of. A dose of four ounces of epson
salts will begin this purifying process,
and fourth of dram of chlorate of
potash daily will continue it, and in a
month will probably complete it. A
little powder of the chlorate blown into
the nostrils daily will hasten the cure.
This is for a small animal as pig, for o
COW, or horse, four times as much
should be given. But at times, dis
ordered stomach caused by indigestion
will produce the symptoms of catarrh,
and while the treatment above will
serve equally we'll for such case, yet q
change of feed and reduced quantity
will be necessary.
Foot-rot in cows is one of the most
common diseases, and is in many re-
spects precisely the same as the foot-rot
in sheep; yet it is most easily prevented.
1t is caused by the constant saturation
of the feet with wet sloppy mud or ma
nure. This soon inhames the skin be :
tween the claws and around the heels of
the hoof, and softens the horn and
causes it to rot. By ect the infam-
nation spreads to the center Of the foot,
and the horn is loosened from the tis-
sues and drops off. The wretched beast
then crawls around upon the stumps of
the bones, and its sufferings are equal
TO those of man compelled to walk
upon the ends of the legs, if the feet
are cut off. The only excuse is that the
owner is helpless, because he knows not
what to do.
Prevention of course is easy, by avoid
ing the cause, and is simple il taken in
time. To cleanse the feet, put the ami
NAL in clean dry place, nurse, it we'll,
dress the feet with some healing oint-
ment, but not with hot tar, nor salt, nor
anything than man would not use for
his own sores; this will soon restore the
animal. And indeed cure is not hope
less, although the hoof may have
dropped, for Natures recuperative pow
ers are wonderful, and if the animal is
held in slings, and the foot dressed with
healing water and soap with q mixture
of cosmoline, and pyroligneous acid,
twice day, new hoof may be pro-
duced and the animal be made sound
again. But to avoid all the suffering OF
this, the trouble should be carefully
prevented.-K s., IN New York TTi-
! bute.

"On the first day of the fight our
battery was charged time after time,
but we repulsed the Confederates each
time until about mid-afternoon. A
raw regiment was then brought up to
act as support for the battery, and at
the very first charge they fled in wild
disorder. We were left stark alone on
open ground, and though we gave them
double charges of canister the Confed.
crate lines swept right up to our guns
and over us. I was shot in the arm
and leg, and was left lying on the
ground with scores of others when the
guns were drawn off.
"As soon as / could look around me
I found that the man on my right, who
was wounded in the hand, shoulder,
and thigh, was Confederate. He was
member of the Ninth Alabama In
fantry-one of the charging regiments
and his name was A. r. Carter.
There were other Federal and Confed-
crate wounded around us, and the
ground was covered with dead men
and horses. dressed Carriers wounds
and he dressed mine, and with the roar
of battle round us we became the best
Of friends. None of the wounded were
removed that night, and early next
day the ghouls began to appear. I saw
number of Confederates robbing the
dead and wounded, and by and by a
member of Hoods Texas Rangers ap-
preached us. I had on pair of new
boots of fancy make, and as he came
up he ordered me to pull them off. I
replied that l was wounded and could
not do it. He remarked he would have
them off in a jiffy, and he seized my
foot and drew the boot in rough man
ner. The other leg was the wounded
one, and as he grabbed my foot I cried
out with pain. I was then braced up
| against bank of earth in sitting
position, and the wound had become
very painful. Carter reproved the
Ranger for his want of feeling and with
an oath he dropped my foot and picked
up musket with bayonet attached.
"I believe he meant to kill me, but
as he thrust at me the bayonet passed
through my right hip and entered the
earth, pinning me fast. The merciless
Ranger then picked up my foot, braceG
one Of his feet against my body and
| pulled off the boot. Everything turn
ed dark to me, although / did not lose
consciousness. He was going away
with the boots under his arm when
Carter reached over and possessed him
self of revolver from cavalrymans
holster, and taking careful aim across
my legs he sent a bullet into the
Rangers back and dropped him dead il
his tracks. / thought we would both b
murdered for this, but the fellows owr
comrades came up and agreed that il
served him right. They raised me up
