An Ohio Cow, Otherwise Respectable
Has Singular habit.

Rupert Hansborough, of the firm
OF Crowley, Hansborough & Co.,
leather dealers Of Chillicothe. O., is
the possessor of natural curiosity
In the shape Of q cow which gives
black milk. She is on Mr.. Hans
oorough's model far,n, situated a
few miles out Of town, and can be
seen at any time grazing in his pas
ture, and at milking time her singu-
lar yield will be shown any one
desiring to behold it. OF mixed
breed, Jersey and Durham, with
strain Of Ayrshire, she was calved
on the farm and was the second
born to her mother, whose milk
presented no popularity. and whose
first cal heifer, too, still gives an
abundance of natural tinted milk.
Mollie, as she is called, is a pretty
little COW, With rothlng unusual in
her appearance, and has borne al
e sly five young, which have thriY-
en- we'll on her hls III milk. It PROF.
duces fair amount of cream, which
when churned makes butter resem.
bling coal tar, bat as palitable as
though of golden yellow. Mr..
Hansborough says that at first they
were afraid to drink or use the milk
in any way, but overcoming their
prejudice, now enjoy it as any other.
He has received number of offers
for her, both fron the proprietors
of museums and stockmen, but de-
clined them from hopes that she
will yet transmit her popularity to
some OF her progeny. Chemists in
Richmond and Washington have
analysed the milk, both fresh and
when made into butter, but declare
that they can detect nothing to &C
count for its sable color, but attri-
butte 1t to some unique coloring pig
ment in the corpuscle of her blood.

VALUABLE TESTIMONY.

"Knvw who ?"
"The defendant Joshua Bagg."
'Josh Bagg! | guess | do know
him, and [ knowed his daddy afore
him, and don't know nothing to
the credit of either of 'em, and
don't think"
1--WE don't want to k.low what you
think, madam. Please say yes or
mo to my question"
"What question:"
''Do you know Joshua Bagg ?"
'Don't know him, though? Well,
| should smile You ask Josh Bagg
if he knows me. Ask him if he
knows anything bout tryin' to cheat
a poor widow like me out of two>
yeav>old steer, Ask him if"
Madam, /"
ASK him whose land he got his
cord wood off last spring, and why
he hauled it in the night. Ask his
wife, Betsey Bagg, if she Knows any
thing about slippin' into a neigh

THE CREDIT.

Have you got good credit? If
YOU have keep it so. Don't let any
man have the least chance to com
plain about your paying. The best
way to do this is to never run an ac-
count with any one. Pay as you go.
You can do it and you will be sur
prised to see how it cuts your ex-
penses down.
There is not farmer in the coun-
try who cannot,lt he will work hard,
have money to buy whatever he
may need, outside of what he can
raise On his farm, and run no ac-
counts. The credit system has been
the ruin of many good men, and is
to-day disheartening and making
rascals out of men who would 9th
erwise be perfectly honest. The
man, be he either merchant or farm
err, who runs his business by the
credit system, is generally very
closely cramped for money. If he
be farmer, as soon as his crops are
gathered and marketed the merchant
who has been cred;Gng him ever
since the last season, presents him
with bill which takes all the mon
ey he has received,a he goes back
to his farm resolving that next year
ne Will run no accounts, but the
next year it is the same, the credit
system has got hold upon him and
ne cannot break lose from it. If the
merchants bill exceeds what he is
able to pay he generally gives an
iron clad note for the balance, and
a multiplicity Of these notes soon
takes his farm from him.
Avoid the credit system. 1t will
ruin you il you don't. Raise your
own provisions, or in other words
live at home" and you will have
no cause to ask any man to credit
you.

The Man With a Lantern.

After nightfall, along the 5000 miles
Of the Canadian Pacific Railroad, no mat
ter how bare tho prairie nor how wild
or desolate the mountain or lake shore,

after the passage of each train the road
way shall be carefully inspected, aud
particularly the bridges, for. fear that
some spark from the locomotive may
have set fire to them. Along hundreds
of miles between Ottawa and Winnipeg,

Wet Feet Cause CU,d.

The dispcnsaries are crowded with
women and children who have caught
cold The doctors have all sorts and
degrees of rhcum to attend to, from the
smiling, Wheeling small boy to the
coughing and straining old man. One
Of tho physicians said to II Sun reporter:
"If these people would only have
sense enough to keep their feet dry they
would be all right. tell you that wet
feet fill more gravcyarls than IN epidemic
of cholera. All the children that came
IN here to-day with swollen eyes and
heads stopped up had wet feet. It's the
same way with men. You would think
that au Intelligent business man would
know enough to take care Of himself,
but nc doesn't. The average New
Yorker goes down town and tramps
around in tho wet until his feet arc cold
and damp. He gets into II pcrspration
and goes back to his office, where he takes
off his coat and sits in his shirt sleeves.
There is not an Office in this city where
there is not drausht, aud that man
will find that draught and sit in it.
Then he sg!ccGcs :. few times ana says:
Il Will catCu COlb III SiJ tiilS way any

fact that he has caught cold already.
"Whcn he goes home, instead of put
ting on dry socks aud warm slippers, he
takes drink of hot whisky. Now,
what connection is there between hot
whisky and cold in the hceda None.
lie gets into another pcrsplration, and
the chances are that he will catch more
cold
"With the women it is all the same
way. Take the young girls you see
tramping about in the mud Of Fifth ave.
nue. and Broadway. Nine out of ton
have got on low shoes. Is it surprising
that they have colds' They have not had
time to lay in their winter stock Of foot
wear, or else they think their feet look
better in low shoes, and they wear them
until the snow falls. But it is of no use
talking. AS long as :hc earth turns on
its axis people will have colds. "-NeN

After the defeat of the Chill Govern
meut troops at tho battle of Concon,
Vina del Mar, near Valparaiso, . little
lad of eight or rine years of age, hatless
and barefooted, arrived in the townof
Vina del Mar and gave tolerably circum-
stantial account of the fight. At first
iis stVry was not believed,
but little by little his tale was
wcs credited and listened to with
astonishment that a child of his tender
age should have been present at such
sanguinary encounter. He quite att
lessly stated that when the San Fernsn-
do battalion left the town with banners
flying and bands play ing he imagined
the troops were going out to exercise,
and followed thsna tiil he found himself
on the field Of the battle. When th6

way back to Vina del Mar by way of

him piece of bread aud drink Of
