TIKI, CITIZEN.


One seldom hears q story more plquAnt
ly favored with the real old New Eng
land humor than that told about Uncle
Gideon Goodwin, who, eighty years ago,
was one of the characters of the town.
All that time the Nethodists used TO gather
at the houses to hold their prayer meet
;ngs. and as Gideon was devout vor-
shipper of that creed fe.was a regular attend
ant. One night the meeting was held at
the house of Harlow Harden, and Gideon
vas there. In those days excitement RAJ
high, and Just as the enthusiasm of the
assemblage was wrought to the highest
pitch. Uncle Harden, as he was always
called, arose to his feet and. lifting up his
hands, shouted in voice full of fervor:
'Glory to Gideon!" Hardly had the
chorus OF amens which this utterance call
ed forth died away, when Goodwin. who
thought that the praises were meant fol
him, and was bound to return the COM
plment, jumped up and said: "Glory te
yoH, too Uncle Harden~ That broke up
the meeting. The solemnity of the 90,
casion, so thoroughly shaken, could not
be restored, and there was a speedy sd-

insignificant articles like the toothpick
represent the investment of millions OF
capital, the employment of skilled labor,
uti' cation of the latest inventions, the
consumption of vast quantities of wood,
and the operation of long line OF complex
activities These small articles play an
important part in the economies Of all
civilized nations. To stop at once the
manufacture OF toys and all not really
needful articles in these nations would be
to put stop to large part of the work
ing and producing forces that constitute
the origin of civilization. Some Euro
pean nations live mainly by their work on
articles that are really only mere toys and
playthlngs. In the United States we are
rapidly adding to our productions all the
wsres that find favor abroad, while we
have originated scores of novelties in the
amusement line that are being sold and
initiated abroad. There is in humanity
chord that responds to the touch of fri,

and that chord has enabled the inventors of
ingenious nothings to coin fortunes out of

Sleepy Grass.

In some parts of New Mexico there
grows n grass which produces somnnifer-
ous effect on the animals that graIe upon
it. Horses, after eating this grass, in
nearly all cases sleep standing, while
cows and sheep almost invariably lie
down. 1t has occasionlly happened that
travellers have stopped to allow horses to
feed in places where the grass grew pretty
thickly, and the animals have had time to
eat considerable quantity before its
effect manifested themselves. In such
aa 90 horses have gone TO sleep on the
road, and il is hard to arouse them.
The effect of the grass passes off in an
hour or two, and no bad results have ever
been noticed on account OF il. Cattle on
the ranches frequently come upon patches
of this grass, where they feed for perhaps
half an hour or more, when they wake up
and start feeding again.
The programme in repeated perhaps a
dozen times, until thirst obliges them to
20 to water. Whether, like the poppy,
the grass contains opium, or whether its
sleep producing property is due to some
other substance, has not been determined.
