Queer things happen in Indiana. Ac-
cording to the Indianapolis Sentinel Il
man in Anderson, that state, recently
sold his wife and all his household ef-
fects to a neighbor for S25. The man
first offered to sell the woman n the
furniture for So, but his neighbor gen
erously gave him $l5 i'm cash and ms
note for $40. Many women would be
glad To dispose of their husbands for
even less. and would think they had
made a good bargain II they could give
them away. Many men. especially
counts and dukes, sell themselves to me
highest female bidder i'm the United
states and elsewhere, and it has oe@r
said that women sometimes do the same
thing. though this idea is chiefly en-
cCuragcd 10y crusty old bachelors. bul
that a woman should be transferred
from one man to another along with the
furniture for a mere song is a revival
of barbarism that should arouse the
deepest wrath of the end-of-the-cen-
tury woman. Where are the nam
pions Of feminine liberty and equality?
IT il time for them TO rally To the rescue
Of the duwntrodden women of Indiana,
who i'm this year of civilization and on
liRhtenment. with the new woman

and a promissory note for $40.
The following about horse marks,
which WE find in the Spirit of the Times,
will be of interest, n may be taken
as authority:
A white spot IN the forehead is a star.

A strip between the nostrils is a snip.
"A white eye is a glass eye.
a horse has pasterns, not ankles, and
there is no uch joint as "A hind knee or
fore shoulder.
White below the pastern joint is a
white pastern. Above the pastern a
white leg.
White around the tap of the hoof is a
white COronet.
"A star, blaze or bald face can't be
anywhere but on the face, A snip can't
be anywhere except ON the nose.
O., for a breeze from the polar seas,
where the wnlte bear rears her young.
n the plaintive low Of the Eskimo to
the heatless air is flung; whore the sea
gull scars and the night wind roars
n the Iceberg sports about, and eX-
plorers brave find a cold wet grave
when their stock of grub plays out. This
summer heat knocks me out complete,
and | wilt like a frosted pear-it would
seem SO nice to be packed in ice and
slumber forever there.
The railroads will carry a man from
New York TO San Francisco for $50.
They Will carry a hog Weighing the
same as a man for So. Congressmen
free. The advantage in favor of being
Il hog is $7i M the advantage of being
a congressman is $50. The people are
not in it when ii comes to a show down

The effect ON labor Of the introduce
ton Of new machinery forms a chapter

When you visit a printing office and
wish to make yourself exceedingly pop
seat yourself at the editors desk
and carefully examine everything it
contains; go behind the cases and mon
key with the compositors: read; criti-
else every proof that may be hanging
on the hooks. or on the cases; and be
Sure you snatch a copy of everything
that comes from the press. DC not fail
to take al the copy from the file and
read and criticize ii carefully. Never
the office without taking type
from the cases and when you put it
be very careful that you do not
get 1t back in the right boxes. Pursue
this course diligently and the editor will
forever carry you in his memory as the
biggest dodgasted bore that ever wore
mir.
