WORTH MORE THAN A HORSE.

Mules Average Higher In Every State Of
the Union Except Oregon.
II nobility may be estimated in
dollars, the mule is a nobler animal
than the horse, says the New York
Sun. Yet there are no autumnal
mule shows and even if there were,
it is hardly probable that flower
adorned young women would make a
practice Of patting the prize animal.
The only way to pat mule, accord
ing to the Texas code, is with fence
rail or board. The man who col
lected horse and mule stat sites for
the census report shows tn the av-
erage price of mule is 81 more than
the average price of a horse The
ordinary mule in North Carolina
which owns about IS, 600 of the long
cared beasts, is worth about $50; the
average price of horse in the same
State is about $40. Texas probably
has more mules about 200, 000) than
any other state. The average price
is about $4l, or nearly twice the
value of Texas horse. In Missouri
mules are worth about 81 more and
in Kentucky about SO more than
horses. Only few States have no
mules, or so few that the Statistician
didn't make note Of them. One Of
these States is Rhode Island, which
the mule drivers of Texas doubtless
would think is not any too large
pasturage and play ground for fes
tive mule of : outhern birth. Oregon
is the only State where horses bring
highest prices than mules. The ordi-
nary mule out there is worth $46 and
the horses S51. The figures for Cali
fornia are: Mules, S67; horses, S46.
In Pennsylvania, where mules, fam
Gus for longevity, are much used in
the mines, they bring about $50;
horses, S67. In this State there are
seventy times as many horses as
there are mules, which number about
1900. A New YORK mule is worth
$91 and a horse $76. Mules are
prizes more in New Jersey than in
any other State, the average price
being about S106, or $50 more than
horses, Illinois has about 14O, 200
mules, or more than any other West
ern State.

The Complexion of a Chinese

is not yellower than that of an unfortunate
individual whose liver complaint has as
sumed the chronic form. The eyeballs of
the sufferer assume a saffron hue, there is
dull pain in the region of the organ affected,
the tongue Is coated. breath sour, sick head
aches usually but not always occur, and there
is sometimes dizziness on arising from sit
ting posture. Constipation and dyspepsia
are also attendants of this very common all
ment, always in its aggravated form. liable
to breed assesses of the liver, which are
very dangerous. Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers wholly eradicates it, as we'll as the
troubles complicated with it and which it
originates. In chills and fever, a complaint
which always yields to the Bitters, the liver
is seriously involved, This fine alternative
tonic removes costiveness and indigestion,
rheumatic, nervous and kidney trouble and
debility.
