JERSEY MULES ARE THE BEST.
Missouri Has Most Males 81 Any state
and Texas Comes Next.

There are 1000 900 mules in the
United States distributed mostly in the
south and the southern border states.
In the latter they are most numerous
for the reason perhaps. that mules are
especially >erVIceable lu sections OF the
country where mountains and hills are
many and steep Mules are more sure
footed, and better tilted for much labor
which would oVertaX even the power
and endurance OF horse especially in
and about mines. In number of mules,
Missouri stands at the head with 2jG-
900. Then come Texas the Lone Star
state OF biz democratic majorities with
POI. 900. and third, Tennessee, with
200 OOO Tennessee il usually put at
the head OF the states having "A partial
ity for mules and with good reason, for
in Tennessee mules bear larger pro-
portion to the whole population than in
any other state of the country. Fol-
lowing Tennessee comes Georgia, and
then Kentucky and Mississippi to-
gether. In the northwest and in New
England there are very few mules.
Colorado, in consequence perhaps of its
large mining interests has 10000.
The statistician OF the department of
agriculture, who believes in prosaic
figures and not in the sweep of ro-
nance tinged with comicality, has
made computation of the value of
mules designed to show the variation in
the several states. This table which is
backed by returns from every one of
the fortv-four states puts New Jersey at
the head of the whole country in re-
spect TO the average value of its mules
800. 90 each. These are high figures
for New Jersey as will be seen when
the fact il stated that the average value
Of a mule by the same table is only
S62. II; but they lend some color 10 the
assertion made by ardent partisan re-
publicans that there Is a subtle connec-
ton between mules and democratic
majorities. New jersey has many
more mules than New York-nearly
twice as many in fact, and while the
New York mule staggers along under
an average valuation as officially com
puted of S7SOy per head, the Jersey
mule across the Hudson sees him and
goes him S23 better. No explanation
OF this disparity is furnished at Wash
ington.
The average value of cow is S2l
and of a car horse SO. There are TO-
600 600 horses in the United States and
Ii. 600 600 cows The number Of pigs
is coujectural.

Explosion by Music.

One of the most dangerous of all ex-
plosives is black powder called iodide
OF nitrogen. When it is dry the slight
est touch will often cause it to explode
with great violence.
There appears To be a certain rate Of
vibration which the compound cannot
resist. In experiments to determine
the cause of its excessive explosiveness
some damp iodide of nitrogen was rub
bed on the strings of bass viol. 1t is
known, says the Youths Companion that
the strings of such an instrument will
vibrate when those of similar instru-
ment having an equal tension, are
played upon.
In this case after the explosive had
become thoroughly dry upon the
strings, another bass viol was brought
near, and its strings were sounded. At
certain note the iodide on the pre-
pared instrument exploded
1t was found that the explosion oc-
Cured only when rate of vibration Of
sixty per second was communicated to
the prepared strings. Vibration of the
G. string caused an explosion, while that
Of the 4 string had no effect.

NEW WORK FOR THE HORSE.
TIE Doctors Have Taken Him in Hand
FOR Medical Uses.

Between the steam engine. the bicy-
Gle the trolley car. and the storage
battery il began 10 look a if the horse
would lose his job. just I'm the nick Of
time, however when scientists were
wondering whether the friend of man
would be- allowed 10 relapse into Wild
ness. or whether he would be turned
over 10 the western packers and made
into extract of beef, a new occupation
rises up before him. SAYS the Buffalo
ErpresS. This is the manufacture Of
serum for the treatment OF diphthcria.
There ought 10 bee quite "A field of USE
fuluess for the horse IN this capacity.
The manufacture of serum is "A slow
process and il Is likely a good many
horses will be needed for it. Consul
General de Kay write, from Berlin tt.t
the establishment at Soldering has tory
HOSES under treatment Yet the demand
for the serum has been 80 great that the
hospitals ran out OF ID i'm September.
The remedy takes lung time 10 pre-
pare and must be comparatively fresh.
AT least nine months and sometimes u
year, are required 10 Get the animals
into condition. one animal does not
furnish much blood AT time only
two quarts. The horse must be CAFE
fully fed between the date, of tapping,
and as in time the strength OF the blood
a a mean, of cure give, ont, il is nee
essary to repeat the process, of cUltiyat-
ing the bacillus.
Altogether the indications are that
this new field of usciuuc~, for the
horse will be wide one. Whether he
will like his new occupation is doubt
full. Even hauling heavy stage is
preferable in some respects 10 beingted
high for a time, only to have your blood
then drawn of Tor medicine There is
something ogrci>h about it, and the
horse may well object But il Is hardly
likely that humanity Will spare him.
The benefits OF the serum treatment APP
pear 10 be too evident 10 allow OF any
compunctious. Thus another change IS
impending in the status of the horse
and the image Of the proud animal
which was once idcaI2ed as Pegasus
and bore poets living through the air
may Yet be seen adorned with specta-
Giles aud holding out bottle in his hoof,

The Chicago Inter Ocean notes that
in some quarters there is a strange for
getfulness of the fact tina, the republic
can party is committed ,quarely and
unequivocally, to bimetalism without
any Juggling with terms, and there is
no reason 20 anticipate any backward
movement from that position in the
national platform OF 1896. 1t adds:
ION the other hand, there is no doubt
but the bimctallic feature Of the plat
form Of 1892 viii bee accen'uated aud
made more practical in 1896. No man
will be nominated who does not stand
Squarely for both money metals The
Democratic party ha, a penchant for
trying TO fool the people but that is
not the republican way of running
politics.
I'm one respect the two party plat
forms of 1892 agreed. namely, in this:
Both parties looked To international
agreement As means Of settling the
silver question. An international coz
gress is % be held, beyond a doubt
and the result will be TO either Justify
that hope or 70 dispel the illusion if the
hope prove TO be Elusive Indeed, the
conference may meet and adjourn be-
fore the next congress conyenes even.
Should ii meet and realize the anticipa-
tions of 1892, it might have the effect
to eliminate the coinage problem from
the next presidential campaign,
although that i not at all probable.
One thing Is certain, the present is an
inauSpicious time to attempt to forecast
the policy of 1896, beyond the general
proposition that there can be no sur
render of bimetahsm.
And there will be no surrender The
mass of the republican voters are in
favor of the restoration of silver. and
only small minority are contending
for gold monometallism.- Courier Her
