Almost all farmers practise feeding
their horses while at work with cut
hay, moistened and mixed with ground
corn and oats. The hay is much more
easily digested when cut and wet, and
The meal on it causes the horses to
more thoroughly masticate it, as they
like the taste. There is also much
less waste in feeding grain after it has
been ground, especially after the mas
tication which is made necessary when
cut hay is fed with it, and which thor
oughly mixes saliva with the food be-
fore it goes into the stomach. There
is economy in steaming cut hay for
feeding all through the winter, when
less meal is required. When the hay
is steamed, and corn and oat meal
sprinkled over it, the flavor of the
meal permeates the cut hay, as it can
not when only cold water is used. But
care should be taken not to give at
any time more of this cut feed than
will be eaten, and especially not to al
low poultry to come into the stable
and soil the managers and feeding
boxes, as they surely will if the horse
barn is near the henhouse OF poultry
is allowed near it.

A Mortgaged Cat,

There are very few articles that can.
not be mortgaged, but when the clerks
in the County Clerks office took q
chattle mortgage to file, and, looking
over the list of articles, they found a
cat, they were perfectly dumbfounded.
They say that they have seen many q
strange thing mortgaged, but never
before saw cat. The mortgage was
given by Charles Arnold to j. Claus,
and it is hard to say what would
be done if the cat ran away.-Cincin-

A FAMOUS DUELlST,
New German Ambassador Mt Washington
Bears Many Sears of Conflict.


Dr. Won Kolleben, the new German
Ambassador tc the United States, is
one Of the best-known diplomats in
Europe. The doctor is also well
known and highly esteemed in Wash
ington, where he filed tue post of
German Minister from March, 1892,
to September, 1893. The mission was
then raised to an embassy, and DIR.
Won Holleben was replaced by Ambas-
sador Saurma-Jeltsch. The new Am
bassador is highly educated and a
most suave man man. He speaks
English with as much huencyas born
American or Englishman, and during
friends in Washington society, where
he was known as one of the few bach
elors of the diplomatic corps. He is
about tifty-iive years old and has an
inclination toward the pleasures Of
literature.
DR.. Won Holleben is probably most
widely known as ''the dueling diplo-
mat" His face is covered with the
scars of saber wounds received on the
uclu VI hOlOf, some Wnlle he was
student at Heidelberg and some since
then. More than that, he comes fresh
from serving as second in one of the
most deadly duels which have taken
place in Europe during recent years.
One of the combatants was killed on
the spot, and the other has since died
of his wounds. The duel took place
at Stuttgart, where DR.. Won Holleben
was stationed. Both principals were
titled young men, and the other second
was General in the Prussian army.
DR.. Won Holleben was severely criti-
cised by the press and public, but his
imperial master evidently sanctioned
his course, for he soon after gave him
decoration and now has made him
an Ambassador. San Francisco Chron.

On the posts of one of the old beds
in the mansion at Mount Vernon are
small glass knobs with sockets drilled
into them, which fit little spikes, but
do not fasten on. 1t is perfectly
natural for visitors to place their
hands upon the knobs, and those who
do Immediately perceive that they
can be taken Off The next step is to
silly them quietly into the pocket and
carry them away as relics of the sa-
cred place. Although an attendant is
employed to watch this room there
are so many visitors that it is impos-
sible for him to prevent such pilfer-
ing, and the glass knobs have TO be
replaced two or three times week
during the busy season, but that costs
very little trouble and expense. A
factory near Pittsburg turns them out
for thirty cents q gross, and Mr..
Dodge is in the habit Of ordering q
barrel of them every spring. There
are several thousand of these glass
knobs scattered over the world, in
museums and private collections of
mementoes and historical relics. Many
more are doubtless concealed for reas-
ons of conscience and fear of discov-
cry, but the guilty persons need have
no concern. The original knobs that
belonged to the bed are safely laid
away in a vault, and if they need more
of the same kind they can order
them from the factory at Pittsburg.

Physical troubles of a like nature
coming from different causes are often
a puzzle to those who suffer pain as to
their treatment and cure, as in the
case of lumbago from cold or Il strain
in some way to the same muscles. The
treatment of such need not differ one
with the other. Both are bad enough,
and should have prompt attention. as
nothing disables so much as lame back
The use of st. Jacobs Oil will settle the
question. It's efficacy is so sure in either
case there is no difference in the treat
ment and no doubt of the cure.

is an ironclad agreement between these
companies, by which they bind them
selves to observe certain agreed rates, the
violator of which is liable to heavy
fine, and in this case it may reach 5000.
