STREET CARS SMASHED.
Accidents on the Electric Road Are Very

AcctueutS on tne ticStric hoau ARC very
Numerous.
Friday night marked another OF the
many collisions and accidents which
have taken place on the electric rail-
road lately. Although no one was hurt
It may be considered very lucky that
all came out 50 fortunate.
The accident was a collision between
cars 81 and No 3. No. 81 was going
north and was followed closely by No.

A passenger on No. 81 wished to
alight and the conductor rang the bell
for the motorman to stop the car. He
did stop 1t. but so suddenly that the
rear car crew had no nowledge of the
fact, and could not stop In time, and
ran into No. 81, severely smashing
st. No one was hurt. however, but the
cars will need considerable repairing
before they can be used

NanOIeOn,s Life as Lieutenant.

Auxonnc, as had been expected, was
most uneasy, and on July 10, 1889,
there was an actual outbreak of vio-
lence, directed there, as elsewhere,
against the tax-receivers. The riot
was easily suppressed, and for some
weeks yet the regular round of studi-
GUS monotony in the young lieuten-
ants life was not disturbed except as
his poverty made his asceticism moro
rigorous. 81 have no other resource

The Childish Voice Too Much.

A good story is told of Signor Foil,
the famous basso. Once upon time
he was singing "The Raft" when a
childish voice from somewhere in the
stalls suddenly piped in and attempted
to organize an impromptu duet. I'm
fortunately the next line of the song
was, CLARK What sound is that which
breaks upon mine carp" This so
tickled the fancy of the great vocalist
that he burst into hearty fit of laugh
ter and left the platform, followed by
the pianist. Twice they came back
and attempted the song and finally
they had to give it up in despair, much
to the amusement of the audience. -

VALUE OF APPEARANCES.

The way in which articles are put
up has much to do with securing a
ready market and good prices. Ap-
pearances count for good deal more
than we generally imagine, and first
impressions carry great weight. Clean,
well-assorted eggs of one size and
color will always find quicker sale at
better price than usually good ones,
having the different sizes and colors
indiscriminately mixed, and this, too,
even if the purchaser imagines HIM
self uninfuenced by appearances.
Many farmers excuse their careless
ness on the plea of poor prices. 1t is
to be remarked that they never took
any pains when prices were high, nor
was it so important then. With over
production and consequent lower
prices, customers have become more
fastidious, there is greater amount
of choice, and the neat, tempting
packages are the first sold, while the
selling price gives good returns for
the extra trouble involved. New

SICK HORSES.

The proper nursing of sick horses
requires only slightly less delicate
attention than the nursing of sick men,
Not to speak of diet and medicine,
frequent change of bedding and cloth
ing is as indispensable in one case as
in the other Perfect attention, abun-
dant light and pure atmosphere should
always be prime considerations in
treating the stable patient as well as
the human subject.
The horse is by nature one of the
children of light, and not of darkness
of the open air, not of the confined,
stuffy stall. In his wild state he seeks
the sunlight of the plains and avoids
the darkness of forest glens; and if
we would fortify him against the de-
structive effects of protracted illness
we should insure him the free light of
day and full enjoyment of the pure cir
cumambient air. He should, when
ailing, not be tied up to rack or man
ger, but have the comparative freedom
of a roomy box. 1t is strange that
most stable architects think any odd
space in dark corner, that cannot be
we'll utilized to form stalls, is quite
good enough situation for loose
box or for an infirmary for horse
'told OFF, as too ill to work and re-
quiring veterinary treatment. There
is much room for improvement in the
architecture and sanitation of the sta
BILE for both sick and healthy horses.

KEEPING CLOVER IN sILos.


There are more difficulties in keep
ing clover in the silo than in doing
the same thing by green corn. The
clover is much more nitrogenous, and
heats with so much greater violence
on the least exposure to air that it is
hard to preserve it. When fodder
corn begins to heat it is SO moderate
that the carbonic acid gas generated
by the slow fermentation remains in
the silo and helps to suppress it, much
as does the smoke from a dull fire
made of green wood where there is
little draught. If the fermentation is
more active, as it is where there is
more nitrogen, the heat is greater,
and this helps to make o draught.
We think, therefore, that clover is
generally better cured dry, and the
corn fodder or millet preserved in the
silo. There ought with all stock to be
some of the feed given in dry state.
Cattle will eat well-cured clover with
out waste. They will not eat the tips
and butts of corn stocks unless cut
and preserved in the silo. Boston

Know Your Stomach.

If after two or three trials you find
that certain kinds of food do not
agree with you, you should stop eat
ing them, instead of trying to find a
medicine that will help to digest them.
What is one mans meat is another
mans poison, is quite true. Some
people can eat all kinds of vegetables
and enjoy them, when to others they
cause the keenest discomfort through
indigestion.
SO it is with fruit. Grapes are rank
poison to some systems, yet you hear
some people always crying, "eat
grapes, they are the fruit of the gods. "
Bananas, SO cheap and common, and
by some accounted next to meat, are
undoubtedly the cause of continued
Indigestion to half the children and
grown people in the city. There are
some foods that certain stomachs can
not assimilate, and when you persist
in eating them, it is like overlooking n
horse. Some day you will pile too
much on, and then there will be q
breakdown.

But Sary Ann she never lisped, she only sat

help. Shorter hours, poorer service
and less intelligence prevail to agreat-
er extent than for years past. An er-
ror that lies at the bottom of this sub
ject is the common impression that 1T
requires no brains or training to make
farm laborer, and no effort toward
advancement is put forth by the aver
age farm hand. Another mistake for
which the employer is responsible Is
the practice of chasing all farm hands
alike or nearly SO, and adhering to an
unyielding range of prices IN wages
paid. By that practice the shlttless
fellow is paid too much and the care
full, painstaking man not enough. lhe
average farm hand could, by carefnl
intelligence, make his services worth
twice the common run of wages. But
it requires brains, and brains rightly
used, to fill any position well and
meflI prOmOtlOH.
The field is never crowded for those
those who excel. No man has better
opportunities or surer prospects Tor
promotion than the farm hands, II he
only proves equal to the occasion ana
rises to the best that is in him. Would
that onu11 imnress this uDOn the
farm boys and hired men. The time
is already coming when farmers will
see these thing and discriminate
against shiftlessness and in favor OF
brain, industry and integrity. And
the difference in wages is only begin
ming to widen. 1t pays to think,
study and grow, aside from wages, be-
cause it takes all these to make the
man. Farm and Dairy.

FEED REGULARLY.

From every point of view regularity
in feeding stock pays. Cattle know,
MS well as human beings, when meal
time has come and if neglected they
80 that two items have TO be added to
the debt side-the acattsasl loss of flesh
and the loss of the gain that should
have been made, Additional food
will be necessary to restore them to
their normal condition and to over
come the check their system has re-
ceived. 1t is decidedly easier and
less expensive to prevent waste than it
is to repair it. New York World.
