MuZzled Ducks.

The Kansas City Star tells how few
rubber bands enabled tired man to sleep.
The hero of this tale is baggageman
on the Santa Fe line. He had been accus-
toned to doze on his passage from Hutch
inson to Kansas City, but then it happen
ed-just how is a point not explained
that night after night his car contained
two or three coops of live ducks. The
baggageman's doing was at an end. The
almost con tant quacklng of the ducks,
which could not understand their strange
environments, would not permit of sleep.
For many nights, as he lay awake. he
planned relief. He thought of stringing
the ducks up or chloroforming them, but
neither expedient seemed good. Then a
bright idea came to him.
The next night he had two coops of I'M
usually vociferous ducks. AS soon as it
came time to sleep he wrenched Stat
from one of the coops, reached in, and
pulled out duck. From his pocket he
took small rubber band, which he Slip
ped over the ducks bill just back of the
nostrils. The duck tried to quack, but
the rubber band, while it stretched a lit
tie, would not permit the duck to open
its bill far enough to use its tongue. Only
a murmur came from it. One by one the
ducks were muzzled, and the baggage
man rested comfortably.

Wars Demand For Horses.

In order to increase the army to war
strength, the government needs 500 adj
ditional horses for every cavalry regi-
ment, and every artillery regiment needs
400. Twenty thousand horses are need
ed at Tampa, Florida five thousand at
Chickamauga, some four thousand at
Mobile, and eight thousand at other
points. Good cavalry horses are wanted
not to weigh over l, 100 lbs, nor less than
1000, while horses weighing 1,500 lbs.
are wanted for wheelers for the heavy
artillery. Besides this demand there is
a demand for over ten thousand high
class, nigh melted saddle horses for the
field and staff officers of the infantry reg
iments.
This sudden and large demand for
horses at prices at least twenty five per
cent. above the present market will give
activity and tone to the horse market
everywhere throughout the country, and
if the war should continue there must be
a rapid advance in prices, for war kills
horses faster than it kills men.
But should the war suddenly end. of
course no advance can be anticipated,
unless, as is predicted in influential
quarters, we are about to enter career
of conquest, to be followed by the man
on horseback. When the man on horse
back comes the horse business will boom.
However, the order to purchase forty
thousand and more horses has gone out
and unless Spain soon succumbS to the
Inevitable, there is sure to be an advance
in the horse market. 1t came rapidly in
1861, why it is so slow now is an enigma
for political economists. American

A New Industry for Elaine.

4 Monsoon Firm Manufactures Coiled or
Sawed Hoops from Native Woods.
Messrs. w. H. & D. j. Jackson and j.
F. Sprague of Monson are arranging for
starting a new business, the manufacture
of coiled or sawed hoops. The Jacksons
own a steam saw mill near Monson village
and have recently made changes in it to
accommodate the saving of hoops and
have purchased a set OF hoop machinery.
They have experimental with several
native woods and find them as suitable
for barrel hoops and al cooperagc work
as the regulation elm wood which is usu-
ally used for this purpose. In some parts
of the country, especially in the middle
and western States the manufacture of
coiled hoops is carried On upon an extern
sve scale and affords employment for
large numbers of men not only in operat
ing the mills, but in cutting and hauling
the lumber as well.
While the Monson scheme contemplates
only a small beginning more experiment
tai than otherwise yet ii it proves success
full it is believed it may develop into a
large industry.
Although very large quantities Of hoops
are used in New England it is said that
there is not a hoop mandatory similar
to the western concerns anywhere in the
New England States. Specimen hoops
made from poplar have been sent to
coopers in Boston and several other
places, who after testing them have pro-
nounced them equal in quality to the best
elm hoops.
1t is believed that a superior quality of
hoops can be made from poplar, yellow
birch, brown ash and other Maine woods.

would be impossible to make Il tripos of
these very miscellaneous groups, or ar
range them in order of time OF impor-
lance. AS the exterior cells of floating
organism pushed out ward at one or more
points in search of food, many, perhaps
most, colonies have their beginnings in
the spontaneous efforts Of independent
sections of community, situated on or
near its boundaries, which extend to ever
more distant parts their exertions in
search Of livelihood. 1t is easier to rob
others than to procure spoil or food

Summer Work Among the Flowers

Go over the garden beds daily, and re-
move all fading flowers. This is very
necessary if you would keep your plants
blooming. If seed is allowed to form. the
plant will throw all it's energies into the
development of it, and you will get but
few flowers; but if the process of nature
is interfered with by preventing the plant
from forming seed it will, as a general
thing, make further efforts to perpetnate
itself. In thus thwarting its efforts it
can be kept Towering indefinitely. Re
move all withered flowers from the lower
portion of the gladiolus- stalks. If they
are lett clinging there, they soon give an
untidy look to the spike. Tie the central
stalk of each dahla to a stout support, or
the plant may be broken over by sudden
wind. Give morning glories stout strings
to Chamber on; but never attempt to train
sweetpeas on any support of this kind,
for they will stubbornly refuse to make
use Of it. They like best a support Of
brush, but they will do very well if train
ed over wire netting with a coarse mesh.
The netting should be at least five feet
wide.
If the season is dry one. water must
be supplied to plants in the beds. Give
it after shutdown. to avoid the too rapid
evaporation which takes place if the APP
plication is made while the sun can get at
the soil, Apply it close about the roots
of the plants, where it will do most good.
Keep the soil loose and open. This pre-
vents its crusting over 50 that water will
run off instead Of into it. 1t also enables
it to act something like sponge, and alb
sorb whatever moisture comes in the
shape of dew.
If weeds were kept down well during
the early part of the season they will not
need great deal of attention now, but
the gardner should make it a rule to pull
up every one as soon as seen. Never allow
weed to ripen.
Grass clippings from the lawn will be
found very effective as mulch about
dahlias and other plants requiring con
slant moisture at the roots. AS soon as
it begins to decay dig it into the soil about
the plant and let it act as a fertilizer.

Unfortunate Passengers.
Discomforts Endured by Travellers on
Railroads in Spain,

Dlscomforts Endured by Travellers on
Railroads in Spain.
There are in Spain 1850 miles of rail
road, less than one third of the number
in Great Britain, France or Russia. and
less than one-fourth of the number in
Italy. The relative insgnificance of the
Spanish railroad ''sys tenn appears best
IN comparison with American railroads,
single line, the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy, having an aggregate mileage of
7, 400, owned, operated or controlled or
nearly as much as all the railroads of
Spain combined. Spanish railroads are
proverbially slow, the rate of express
trains being about twenty-five miles, and
of way passenger trains from twelve to
fifteen. They seldom run on schedule
time, and it is the testimony of all travel
ers that they never make connections.
The amount of baggage allowed each first
class passenger on Spanish railroad is
sixty-six pounds, but the railroads are not
responsible for its identification.
The charges on Spanish railroads are re-
markedly high, being at the rate of five
cents mile on first trains. and
three cents mile on second class trains,
about double the American average
The difficulties of passenger traffic on
Spanish railroads are enhanced in some
particulars which are rather amusing
than serious. Passengers are expected
to arrive at the station at least half an
hour before the train leaves, in order that
sufficient allowance may be made for the
dilatory proceedings of the railway off
Gals. During part of the day land in some
cities the larger part of the day., the rail
way stations are closed and the ticket Off
ces do not open until an hour before the
time scheduled for the departure of the
train closing quarter of an hour before
it is due.
One popularity of railroad travel in
Spain is to be found in the fact that EN-
ployes Of the railroad company are entitled,
as matter of right, to the best seats.
