Verona, In Italy, boasts of a pair of
twin sheep, each having six legs. The
extra legs are hind ones of the same
size as the normal ones, though they
do not reach the ground. The owner
will not sell them to a museum, as he
thinks he Tan make more out Of them
as mutton.

Musklnsum Farmers club.

The Muskingum Township Farmers
Club met at the residence OF j. N.
Riley. The young people of the fam
lily furnished songs, and Miss Bertha
Strecker recited.
Mrs. c. P. Dyar read an article from
ihe August Forum on " The Matrimon-
ial Market" which elicted some dis
cussion.
Mrs. P. l.. Stowe read an article by
Kirk Monroe on the banana, which he
declared to be the king of fruits, be-
cause of its superior nutritive qualities,
the extent of it's growth, consumption
and the numerous uses and value OF
the fibre, plant, juice, etc.
Lewis Riley answered the query by
describing the geological epochs.
Mrs. NJ. A. Tidd sent short paper
describing trip from New Hampshire
to Ohio by wagon in 1883, when she
was girl ten years old The trip oc-
cupied about month and constrasted
very sharply with present travelling.
1t was suggested that the residents
on the east side of the Muskingum
| valley would have two short pieces OF
exceedingly bad road to cross to get on
to the paved streets at Marietta unless
something were done before winter.
Accordingly petition was numerously
signed, asking the City Council to pave
or gravel the strip between the forks
of the road at the Putnam Place to the
end of the pavement at Marion or else
repair Front from the Fair Grounds to
the pavement at Montgomery-either
will do.
W. d. Deyol, in lieu of a paper, gave
an interesting talk on the formation OF
our soils by describing them, the vari-
GUS rocks from which they came, their
relative positions in our valley, how
they came to be laid SO, and many
other interesting facts and theories re-
garding their various geological and
agricultural features. G. A. Wood
spoke entertainingly on the same sub
ject, after which the Club adjourned to
a fine supper.
Quite number were present from a
distance, among them being, Miss
Alden, of Chicago. b. L. Dyar, of Iowa:

Watertown.

Watertown Harvest Home is a thing
of the past. The morning was the
most favorable for drying and by Q
o'clock Binghams Park, was we'll filled
with people, horses and vehicles. The
Watertown cornet band with their
at 10 o'clock, followed by invocation by
Rev. Mr.. Foote, then an anthem by the
choir, then followed an instructive ad,
dress by Prof j. F. Wagner, music by
the band, short and good address by
Rev. Mr.. Crooks of West Marietta.
This brought us to the noon hour With
pleasant conversation, merry laughter,
enjoying of well filed baskets the
clanking of chicken bones etc, this
hour seemed the most enjoyable of
the day. 1t is wonderful how much of
the farm products some people can get
on the outside of. At 1:3O the band
called the people togather to listen to
a song by the choir. an address by Rev.
Mr. Coil, another piece by the band, an
address by Rev. Mr.. Roe and Judge
Cutter completed the programme for
the day. The day was most pleasant
one. The entire audience was the most
social with the fewest ruffians and
least disorder of all our Harvest Homes
The Association has been laboring
under disadvantages for want of better
seats and drinking water with several
other necessaries, and request of one
nickel from each present was solicited
and a collection of ten dollars was
raised. VIM. Moore of Fairfield passed
the Chairman big apple with ten
cents sticking in it. 1t was the first
money ever given to the Watertown
Harvest Home. Officers for the coming
year President, Roscoe Wolco tt Sec

not more accidents, where there were
so many men, women, children and
vehicles in one mass. We heard OF
but one case, where a man left his
horse and on coming back after while
searched the Park and surrounding
fields and discovered him tied to tree
not fifty feet away. In the evening the
young people enjoyed cotilion party
in the Town Hall.

What Free Coinage Means.

Free coinage at 16 to l means that
any man who might have silver of any
kind, American or foreign, worth 81 900

his 81 900 worth of silver just $1,876 in
silver or other money. That is the milk

EVERY Democrat who rants about
the so-called "crime of'73' knows there
has been much more silver coined since
than before that date. He knows
that the republican platform demands
honest money and a method of fnan-
cial management that will maintain
gold and silver at par. He knows that
silver has been, is now, and will con-
tinue to be under that method more
freely used than gold as a medium OF
exchange. He also knows that the
Chicago platform would drive gold out
of circulation and bring the country tc
single silver standard. Yet, regard
less of his country's honor and pros
perity, he supports the 16 to 1 free
coinage folly for the simple reason
that the Democratic party is drowning
and it is the only straw in sight.

A FREE coinage law at the ratio of 1e
to 1, which would result in the Ameri-

THE RACEHORSE ANT.
A Concentrated Bundle of Nerves and
Muscles and Brains.

Muscles and Brains
Our Florida ants have not been very
carefully studied, and / think it quite
possible that this is an undescribed
species. Popularity he is known here as
the "racehorse" ant, and the name is
certainly appropriate. OF all the fast
and fussy little runaboutS that his ON
nipresent family affords, he is far and
away the supreme. 1t would be hard to
find even among the marvelS of the in
sect kingdom any such concentrated
bundle of nerves and muscles and brains.
He is a little black mite of fellow,
three millimeters (about an eighth of
an inch) in length, and it takes 162 of
him to weigh one grain. His ordinary
walk is fast trot, but when he really
gets down to business even that kan
CARGO among insects, the flea, cannot
beat him in getting over the ground or
Icing in a dozen places apparently at
the same moment. Naturally he is a
terrible nuisance to housekeepers;
borax, corrosive sublimate cayenne pep
per, and all the other warranted
prophylactics against the plague of ants
simply amuse him. Not long since 1
tried all the devices had ever heard of,
and which do often prove effective with
other species of ants, in vain effort to
keep this active little rogue out of q new
barrel of sugar. A strong solution Of
corrosive sublimate was poured in cir
Gle on the floor around the barrel. He
simply waited for the floor to get dry
and calmly trotted over to the alluring
barrel of sweets. Three hours after try
ing this poison guard found a col
ony of 100 or so comfortably regaling
themselves upon the coveted treasure.
Caustic potash dissolved and used in che
same way served a little better purpose,
but this soon solicited into carbonate,
end its usefulness was at an end. next
procured some freshly ground and pure
Cayenne pepper, which some "scien-
tific" newspaper correspondent had rec
commended. spread it in liberal meas
ure around the barrel, but, alas! for
newspaper science; it is a positive fact
that before had finished my circling
wall of cayenne pepper these little black
imps were racing over it by hundreds.
] gave it up. There was nothing to do
but to build low table, put the legs in
cans of kerosene oil, and keep on it the
barrel of sugar and all other provisions
that wished to protect against these
