When Coupled with Preoccupation Does
Not Always Bring Good Results.
The young man had been groom at
the riding school, and had also been
employed at sale stable, says a writer
in River and Driver. Still, the knowl-
edge that he had acquired at these
places did not serve him well now that
he was engaged as clerk in grocery
store on Sixth avenue.
One day young lady came into the
store and asked the clerk if they had
any horseradish.
''Hossradish? I should say we have, 4"
exclaimed the young man. ''We prob
| ably have the most remarkable boss
radish in the market" and he pulled
down bottle, covered with the dust of
ages, and rolled it along the counter.
''Observe its gait" he continued, with
enthusiasm. There's a hossradish
that can recommend. There's an A
No. family hossradish. / can warrant
it to work anywhere. 1t will drag a
family carriage, on heavy track, in
2:40.'
The young lady looked at the clerk
with some establishment She wanted
the horseradish, however, and ventured
to ask if it was strong.
''Strong?' echoed the clerk; ''why,
it's as strong as a steam stump puller.
It's the strongest hossradish that ever
looked through collar. You can take
it right out of your phaeton, after
whirl around Central park, hitch it to
a stoneboat and if it doesn't pull more
than a locomotive I'll knock it in the
head. Fact is, it's a heavy-draught
hossradish, with the swiftness and en-
durance of a Salvatore
81 meant to ask" said the young
lady, somewhat confused, ''if it is
sharp-does it bite?"
''Bite? No; it's gentle as a sucking
dove; wouldn't bite the smallest child.
1t seems kind o. sad like when it has to
take bite in its mouth. Oh, no; it
wouldn't bite piece of molasses candy.
And kick? You couldn't make that
hossradish kick if you tickled it with
straw" and the clerk punched the bot
tie in the ribs as proof of it's excellent
disposition.
The young lady did not seem entirely
satisfied with the recommendation and
took the bottle up to examine it more
closely. ''That's right" said the af-
fable young man; ''look it over care
fully Examine it closely for ringbone,
SPAWN, quarterback, heaves, thumps,
mumps, dumps, grumps, or anything
else under the shining sun. If you find
it is not as sound as a dollar, the boss
radish is yours without costing you a
red cent and with nice set of silver
mounted harness thrown in. Shall 1
wrap it up?"
The young lady said she would no
take it along now, but might call late
with halter to lead it home.

SEEN AND HEARD IN PARIS.

THERE was time when in Paris and
Vienna young handles wore colored
shirts with the faces of favorite dancers
displayed all over the garment.
BUDDHA is worshiped in Paris in
various private temples, where the devo-
tees meet regularly to pay homage to
the Light of Asia" Most of the
Buddhists are Japanese, but among
them are many Frenchmen and a few
Englishmen.
THERE is a laundryman in Paris who
has discarded all soap, sodas and
bleaching powders in his establish
ment He merely uses plenty of water
and boiled potatoes, and can cleanse,
without applying any alkai, the most
soiled of linens, cottons or woolens.
THE Paris street extending from
Neuilly to ST. Denis is lined with tum-
bledown tenements that are said to
shelter more vice and iniquity than can
be found in any other spot in the world.
The houses throng with criminals.
The street is known as the Route de
la Revolte."

NOVEL, DELICIOUS ICES.

THERE are baskets made of braided
sugar candy filed with ices initiating
peaches, plums, etc, and favored like
the fruit
A GREEN melon can be served filed
with rose colored water ice, filed with
the seeds of chocolate ice, while one Of
the latest ideas is a big leaf of green
ice holding handful of real strawber-
ries.
AT one dinner cream was served in
the hearts of real Gala lilies, the cen
ters of which were removed before the
filing, while at another pale, grayish
chocolate ice was nodded to represent a
large flat oyster shell closely shut.
ICES frozen into the shape Of wax
candles are a novelty, each of these
having little taper at the end, which,
just before being served, is lighted, the
cream candle being brought on in a
china candlestick, with shutters of
candy.

CARE OF FARM ANIMALS.

WHEN COW leaks her milk from the
udder it is best to milk her three times
day.
THE sheep does better on short sweet
grasses than upon grass of vigorous
growth.
KEEP the sheep off the wet lands.
Wet footing is the one thing that sheep
will not stand.
''THE model dairy cow, +" to our notion,
is the one that makes the most butter or
cheese at the least cost.
IT is natural for good COW to con-
sumo great deal of food. So high
feeding within judicious limits does not
hurt the COW, if the food is of the right
sort.
FEED influences breed to a very large
extent. In producing mutton very
inferior mutton sheep can be raised to
considerably high stand by proper
feeding.
GOOD care is half feeding, says an ex-
change. Yes, it is more than that a
good deal more. Without care, nothing
at all, in the way of profit, comes from
feeding.
THE proper ration depends on the sea-
son and the condition of the animal.
Farmers should know the individual
characteristics of their stock. not only
of cows, but of horses.

A BAD BARGAIN.

How an Old Man Paid for His
Indecision.
A miserly old man one day went to
blacksmith's shop, says the Lewiston
Journal, and asked the workman to
weld the handle on the blade OF an old
fashioned, brick oven shovel.
''You jest mend it while go down to
the corner" said he, San I'll get it
when | come back-er-long."
The smith mended the shovel, and left
standing near his anvil. Presently
he owner returned.
wal" said ne, now much is there to
oay on that ere little job?"
six cents, was the reply. The old
man stood for moment with his head
dropped forward, and his eyes on the
floor. Then he spoke:
I'm sorry had it doner'
Sail right" said the blacksmith.
''That's easily remedied.' . He raised his
hammer, struck the iron a blow, and
unveiled it, ''There," he continued,
SITS all right now
This time the old gentleman dropped
his head and looked at the floor for full
five minutes. At the end OF that time
he said solemnly:
I'm sorry You done that"
"Well, you were sorry it was done,
and now it's just as it was when you
brought it here, F." was the reply.
81 can't kerry it home that way
said the owner of the article 1.-THE
folks want to use it. L guess you'll hev
to weld it again"
''All right, said the cheerful black
smith, and in two minutes the work
was finished.
"Wal, what's to pay on it now?"
Eighteen cents. Six for r1cnding it
the first time, six for unwelding, and
six for mcnding it again.
The bill was paid without a word,
and the shovel carried home to the
women folks"

Wool.
RrQdstreefs.

A fair movement in wool is reported
in the leading markets. Operations
would be on large scale were it not
for the tight money market, for it is the
general belief that several grades Of
wool are lower now than they will be
later on. Ohio and Michigan woods
have been depressed beyond reasona-
BILE point. Dealers recognize this fact
and are not offering these woods, but
are waiting for an advance. Territories,
on the other hand, are too high, and a
decline is looked for. Australian woods
are not selling as well as they did the
first part of the year. They are fine
woods, but manufacturers are beginning
to realize that they are not worth the
money they have paid for them. Ohio
woods, though of greater shrinkage,
are cheaper at current prices. Texas
woods are in good demand, as are also
long staple territories. California woods
are arriving in bad condition. They
cannot be sold until the bulk OF the
better woods are removed from the mar
ket, as manufacturers are more partic-
ular than heretofore about the quality
of the woods they buy.
