have often been on fishing expedi-
ton and found myself without cork
screw, with bottle of wine or ale Sc
curely corked. The primitive plan of
breaking off the neck with piece of
rock is very dangerous and sometimes
cracks the entire bottle and wastes the
precious fluid The other day I saw a
number of bricklayers trying to open a
bottle of ale at the dinner hour. After
they had scooped at the cork with their
jackkniyes one Of them took piece Of
Irvine, wound it around the neck twice,
and then for two Or three minutes
sawed the bottle with it. Some water
was then thrown on the heated glass,
and it cracked instantly, enabling the
expert to break off the neck with his
hand in the most artistic manner. --St.

A WOMAN'S LUCK AND PLUCK.

Stranded and Destitute She Walks Three
Hundred Miles to Help Her Children.
A pathetic story of a mothers de-
votion and heroism comes from Kansas
City. Last September Mrs. Elizabeth
Page, a widow, whose home was in
Detroit, took her four children, the
eldest being son only sixteen years
of age, with her household goods
slowed away in wagon, and drove to
the Cherokee strip, where she settled
on some land. Others contested the
claim, so she was compelled to leave.
Striking for home, she arrived safely
in St. John, Kan, where one Of her
horses died. She sent her son on to
Kansas City to earn money to take the
family there, but he failed to find
work, and became so discouraged that
he wrote his mother he would commit
suicide if she could not help him. She
answered that she would come, and
promptly sold the remaining horse,
household goods and her watch. paid
the ohidren's board, and with ten dol
lars in her pocket walked oil the way
from St. John to Kansas City, q dis
lance of three hundred miles. Kind
farmers on the route fed and lodged
her % that not ono cent Of her money
had been spent whom shs arrived. Tho
police metron became interested In the
oouph snd obtained money to send the
boy to Detroit where he is to have
work, and buy . ticket for the mother
to 20 back to her children.

Investigation Invited.

Of course it is proper to inquire
about what any man says, Is it true?
The most rigid investigation is invi-
ted into the testimonials published in
behalf of Hoods Sarsaparilla. Spec
ial attention is called to the high
character of the persons whose testi-
monials are published by the propri-
etors of..this medicine, as evinced by
their occupations or Endorsements. In
fact, no matter where testimonial in
behalf of Hoods Sarsaparilla may be
from, it is reliable and as worthy of
confidence as if it came from your
most trusted neighbor.

BREEDING HORSES.

Temperament Is as Important q Consil-
Grafton as Soundness.
In breeding horses there are other
things to consider besides the appear
ance and performance of sire and dam.
One of the most important of these is
temperament. A vicious and ill-tem-
pered mare, whatever her good points
may be, should never be retained for
breeding purposes. Moral qualities
are as surely transmitted to descend
ants as physical features. A vicious
brood mare should at all times be re-
jected. D. Curnieu, French authority,
rightly says: mo mare should be used
as brood mare unless she is perfectly
well known If she has any vice
it will most probably be perpetuated,
and in an augmented form, especially
if the sire has defects of kindred ma
ture.
It is, of course, equally as important
that the sire should be free from wise as
that the dam should be So As, how
ever, it is difficult to ascertain the tenn
per of the stallion, whether confined
to his own stable or travelling the
country, unless he has displayed his
bad temper in public, the greater the
Importance of breeding only from such
mares as are not actually vicious them
selves, and that have not even hered-
itary faint of potential waywardness
and ill-temper in their constitutions.
Although the produce of vicious
mare, if they have good looks and FREQ
-
at high prices rs unbroken colts, no
one should attempt to breed horses for
his own use from such an animal. On
the whole, it is good policy never to
breed to such mares.

FEEDING ~ MACHINERY.

Simple Combination OF IN Alarm Cl0ck
and Few Batteries.
An electric horse feeder is new In
ventlon brought ont by Mr.. Anderson,
of Chesterfield, for securing the regu-
lar feeding of horses during the ab.
sence from any cause of the stablemsn
or groom. The apparatus is described
as being very simple, the law of gravi-
tation being depended upon to accom-
plish most of the work. The first
requisite is an alarm clock, which
should be good enough not to stop
casually, but need not be expensive.
The electrical plant is that needed for
an ordinary electric bell, four cells of
the Leclanche type Of battery being
sufficient for any distance up to two
hundred yards. The third portion of
the apparatus is the feeder-that is to
say, the vessel holding the corn or corn
and chat, as the case may be. The
clock, which is the prime mover Of the
whole concern, may be in the house,
the harness-room or anywhere, but if
it be more than two hundred yards
away from the feeder more powerful
battery will be required. '
To use the feeder the first thing is
to set the alarm of the clock at the
hour at which it is desired that the
horse should be fed. The food is then
placed in Unlike biscuit box, which
is turned upside down and placed in
the proper compartment of the shoot,
when the lid of the box is drawn out,
the corn then resting upon the floor of
q trap-like arrangement. held in its
place by simple continuance. When
the alarm goes off a button is pressed
and the circuit is completely A weight
falls, the bottom of the feed box is re-
leased, and the corn falls out into the
manger.-Invention.
