Cut Feed for working uorsc..

While horses arc working, what
ever helps make digestion easier
gives so much additional power to be
expended in doing the work to which
they are set. This is zone reason why
cut feed. mcistcned and mixed with
Underground meal, is preferable to
whole grain and uncut hay. The
saving OF food is another reason.
Where whole grain is fed u consider
able portion o. it is voided undigested
in the excrement. OF coursei i: does
little or no good. The best cut feed
is made by mixing cut clover hay
moistened with oats ami corn ground
together. On this feed horses will
work day after day, and if care is
taken not to gall their shoulders in
beginning, they will ga n flesh while
working. 4 strong, well-fed horse is
none the worse for working every
week day in the year.

At Rome Do as the Romans Do.

fourth century, was once visited by
Monica and her son Augustine. the
celebrated bishop of Hippo in North
Africa. There was one point as to
which Augustine was in some trouble,
and he therefore asked Ambrose for
his guidance in the matter. At Rome,
he said. it was the custom to fast on
Saturday, while at Milan they tasted
not; what course was he, Augustine, tc
take? 'Well." replied Ambrose.

in the habit of doing. but when go

They Are Able to Blind q Man by Pro-

The Africsn explorer, v. Hoehnel,
on his voyage to lakes Rudolph and
Stephanie. encountered one day, after
long rainy spell, rolled up in cor
ner of the basket in which the dishes
of the expedition were carried, SER
pent of narrow g:rth and about TWEEN
ty-seven inches long. His servant
armed himself with long dirk
to kill the serpent, but the moment he
approached the basket he fell back
with heartrending cry and covered
his eyes with his hand. The snake
had projected into them q tiny stream
of burn;n liquid which caused terri
BILE suffering.
Hoehnel came up and placed himself
in such position that the wind would
blow the liquid past his eyes should
the serpent defend itself in the same
manner it had dono before. As soon
as tho snake caught sight of him it
lifted its head and squirted two drops
of black fluid upon his mock, which,
however, produced no burning sensa-
ton on the skin. An Arab guide, who
had heard the cries of tho explorers
servant, came up, and, wrapping his
turban around his hand. endeavored
to make dive into the basket for the
snake. A moment later he, too, fel,
back blinde ! and covering his eyes
with his arm Hoehncl did not seek
to repeat the experiment He turned
the basket over on tho ground. and
the serpent in its fight was killed
with sticks, so that the mystery could
not be solved as to the nature OF its
peculiar squirting qualities.

4 Aluminium.


There is an erroneous idea with ref
erence to aluminium. While it is true
that alumina is present in all clay
and nearly all our country rocks there
is no process known for extracting it
from clay as a practical commercial
proposition. The obstacle not yet
overcome is the presence of sill a,
which is reduced as a metal with The
aluminium, rendering it brittle and
unfit for use. All the aluminium pro-
duccd for commercial purposes is from
cryolite and heauxite, the former
coming from Greenland and the latter
from the Allegheny mountains and
other places Cryolite is q mineral

And the Supposed Corpse Leaves the
Undertaken In Hurry.
Quite recently a team was passing
ur one Of the leading streets OF
Kenrebcc. Maine, when the horses
became suddenly frightened and ran
away, throwing out the fellow who
was riding. He was badly shaken up
and his condition seemed to indicatc
that he was done for during his
sojourn upon mother earth.
An unlertal1er who happened to
hear of the fellows m sfortuae and
sad condition Immediately made haste
to the scene Of disaster, equipped with
c-ything necessary to caro for the
fellow who was supposed to have s.
suddenly passed away. 1t seems he
was placed in the wagon, and thcrtthe
undertaken started with his supposed
corpse in pcsthaste for the mans home.
He had not gone far when the man
recovered from his deathly (?) slum-
ber and revived sufficiently to take in
the situation and leap from the wagon
and reach a small hotel they were
just passing. Imagine the intense
surprise of Mr.. Undertaken a short
time after, when he had gone but a
little distance and looked around and
discovered that the single indication
of there having been anybody in the
wagon was the manner in which. the
robes were left!
Truly tho har1 times have made
business dull in every line ana per
haps the poor undertaken has shared
with the rest. 1t may seem a shame
that he lost this opportunity OF earn
ing an honest dollar and performing a
faithful duty.
