Now since seed time and harvest are
past, those of our farmers who wish to
practice economy but do not know how
to go about it, would do we'll to heed
the following advice: Whenever you
have an hour to spare from corn husk-
ing, potato digging, or apple gather
ing, put in that time by taking a look
about the buildings and farm, and when
ever you may see any piece of machin-
cry, rake, hoe, shovel, fork or what not,
take hold Of it and store it IN some safe
place where you can find it when want
ed. These implements should be hous-
ed securely also from the injurious
effects OF the wind and rain. A wagon
reaper, pillow or harrow, thus protected
may save you from buying new one
next spring, and you know what that
means. Follow this little piece of adj
vice and you viii won III at the excel
lence Of your tools when next you want
to use them. "A penny saved is a
pound earned, you know.

Notwithstanding the fact that the
press continually admonishes whom il
may concern that it does no good to
whip or pound balky horse, almost
every owner or driver of one does il
today. 1t is probably the greatest
piece OF horse folly in existence. 1t is
not remnant of barbarism, but it is
continued barbarity, and brings out
what original sin there is in a man.
The brain of horse can retain but one
idea at time. If the idea is to sulk,
whipping only intensifies it. A change
of that idea, then, is the only success
full method of management. This may
be accomplished in scores of ways, a
few OF which are here named: Tie a
handkerchief about his eyes; tie his
tail to the bellyband or back band;
fasten a stick in his mouth; tie cord
tightly about his leg; clasp his nostrils
and shut his wind off until he wants to
go; unhitch him from the vehicle and
hitch him up again, or most any way
to get his mind on something else.
Whipping or scolding always does
harm. The treatment should always
be gentle. There are more sulky
drivers than horses.

A STREET CAR ARGUMENT. The Moral of Which Is, Don't Talk Politics
 With Strangers,

St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
 An Eastern avenue car was bowling along toward down town yesterday after noon when at Whittier street a fireman got aboard and sat down beside a solemn individual with glasses. The first thing the fireman did was to start discussion on silver in which he was the silver end of it. His companion was noncommittal. and sat down just behind the other two, Pretty soon he clipped in and it was evil dent that he was goldbug.
 Now, I'm not talking to you. See?' remarked the fireman. You keep out of this"
 Well, I'm talking to you. See?" re- torted the goldbug, and things looked squally.
 The argument kept right up, however, and in few blocks more another man got in. He was silver man and he went at the goldbug hammer and tongs. The fireman was distanced.
 The third and fourth men kept at it until they reached Cardinal avenue, when they worked themselves up to fighting heat The goldbug got off there and the silver man followed him. Still they kept the argument up.
 Scarcely had they been on the ground thirty seconds before they came to blows. It was hit, lick, slap. punch, bite, scratch and curse all over the street. The car went flying on down town and the last thing the passengers saw was the gold bug and the silverbug scrapping away for dear life in defense of their cherished principles.

HISTOLOGY FOR OCTOBER.

Zadkiel, the London astrologist, in his "Voice of the Stars" thus forecasts Octo- Der, 1896:
 October, the Romans placed under the protection of Mars whose house Scorpio, the sun, now enters. On the 18th day the Roman army was assembled, and the Armilustrium festival was held On the 21st, this year, the sun forms the Urine aspect with Mars, and this being the an- niversary of the battle of Trafalgar, should be celebrated with unwonted hon. or by Britons. At time of uneaslness like this we should show the world how we honor our heroes. Saturn forms the quartie aspect, on the Sd instant, with tho place of the solar eclipse of the 9th of August, from 17 degrees minutes of the sign Scorpio, but few hours after Jupi- ter forms the opposition aspect with the place of the lunar eclipse of the 23d of August. This singular coincidence can not fail to be quickly followed by shak- ings of the 'old and crazy earth" in southern Europe, the vicinity of Rome, Japan and the Indian Archipelago. Saturn also brings trouble and loss to those who were born on or near the 9th of November, for he transits the place of the sun at their birth and creeps along towards conjunction with Uranus The entry of Jupiter into the sign of Virgo tends to more peaceful condition of the affairs of Turkey than has obtained for many months past. It will be well for Europe if the eastern question can be satisfactorily under this happy influence, of which dip1omatists would be quick to take advantage if they were wise enough to study astroiogy instead of despising It.

Railways will do better this month. There will be a sad prevalence of cruelty to women and children, and scandalous crime, for Venus joins Saturn in the fifth house at the new moon. The 4th, goth and 27th instant are favorable birthday anniversaries. On the other hand, the 9th, 18th and 23d bring troubles of a do- mesttc nature; young ladies should be very circhmspect in their love affairs, or they will be deceived and disappointed.
 Raphael, in his "Prophetic Messenger" has the following for October:
 The principal transit for the month is that of the planet Mars in the sign Gemi- nj, which rules London and the United States chiefly, and threatens fires and ac cidents of a serious and alarming nature, also an increase of crime and daring rob berries. The entry of Jupiter into the sign Virgo will benefit Paris and Turkey principally, and in the latter country will bring about beneficial and necessary reforms. The slow motion of Sa turn and Uranus through the sign Scorpio is very unfortunate for Russia, and will produce much sedition and many misfortunes in the land. Ireland and Persia will also suffer in many ways.
 The Everyday Guide for October gives advice as follows:
 1. Be careful this day.
 2. Seek work and ask favors before noon.
 . 3. Travel, remove and deal before 1 p.
 1. Sunday-vist thy friends.
 5. Travel, remove and deal with women before noon.

FREE TO EVERY MAN.
THE PRESCRIPTION OF A GREAT REMEDY
Which Cured Him After Everything Else
 Failed.

Painful diseases are bad enough, but when a man is slowly wasting away with nervous weakness the mental forebod- ings are ten times worse than the most severe pain. There is no let-up to the mental suffering day or night. Sleep is almost impossible and under such a strain men are scarcely responsible for what they do. For years the writer rolled and tossed on the troubled sea of sexual weakness, until it was a question whether he had not better take dose of poison and thus end all his troubles. But providential inspiration came to his aid in the shape of a combination of medi- cines that not only completely rsetored his general health, but enlarged his weak, emaciated parts to natural size and Vigor, and he now declares that any man who will take the trouble to send his name and address may have the pre- scription of this wonderful remedy free. Now, when l say free, l mean absolutely without cost because I want every weak ened man to get the benefit of my expe- rience.
 am not philanthropist, nor dc I pose as an enthusiast, but there are thousands of men suffering the mental tortures of weakened manhood who would be cured at once could they but get such remedy as the one that cured me. Send me your name and address today. Do not try to study out how 1 can afford to pay the few postage stamps necessary to mail the prescription, but send for the remedy and learn that there are few things on earth that, although they cost nothing to get, they are worth fortune to some men, and mean lifetime of happiness to most Of us. Write to Thomas Slater, Box 1S1, Kalamazoo, Mich, and the prescrip- ton will be mailed in a plain sealed en- velope. S-3O-su&wed-f

Reflections Of a Bachelor.

From the Ne,o York Press'
A woman who has child is never cynical.
You can walk all over woman if you
only wear patent feathers.
A woman knows bargain-after she has
been married long enough.
When man says he likes freckcls wom-
an will believe him If she has any.
It never occurs to woman that a man
generally feels as badly about it as she does.
The mar who succeeds best with woman
Is the one who knows how to bes tyrant.
The husband who brings home flowers to
his wife is likely to be in novel, or else they
have company.
1t isn't the way you look at other women
that spoils you with your wife; it's the way
you don't look at her.
A woman will argue that her clothes are
more sensible than mems, even when she has
to lean against the wall 10 get the hooks and
eyes together in the waist of her dress.
The wife who is meek and patient and for
giving and meets her husband with smiling
face no matter how much he makes her cry
in secret, gets terribly tiresome.
Before they are married, men make nice
resolves, such as not to sit in their wives
presence In their shirt sleeves; after they
hive been married six months they kick If
their wives don't keep tabs on their soiled
linen.
