lack OF ALL TRADES.
Many Accomplishments of an Indus
triOus Frenchman of the
Last Century.

In times long gone by active men
combined many vocations The barber
in those days was also the dentist and
often performed other duties. A sign
discovered in southern France recent
ly shows how versatile it was possible
for man to become. The sign dates
back to the last century and reads:
Isaac Macaire, barber, wigmaker,
healer, sacristan, school-teacher, black
smith and obstetrician; shaving 1 sou
hair cutting sous, powdering and
pomading very cheap for pretty, well
bred young women; lamps lighted by
the year or quarter; teaches the moth
er tongue in the best methods: in
structs in singing and shoes horses
with a master hand; makes and repairs
| boots and shoes; teaches the young to
corns and applies blisters, plasters or
cups at the lowest prices. Supplies
purging medicine at l sou, visits houses
TO teach the cotillon and other dances,
sells sachet powders of all kinds at
wholesale and retail, also all kinds of
stationery, shoe polish, salted herrings,
spiced bread, bristle brushes, mouse
traps of wire and other material heart
strengthening roots, potatoes. sau-
sages and other kinds of vege tables"
One would naturally think that all
those talents and occupations would
be enough for one man. But not so in
the case of NJ. Macaire. postscript on
the sign reads:
Il teach geography and foreign COM
merce every Wednesday and Friday.
With Gods help am, Isaac Maciare."

The Horse in History.

The horse appears in the beginning
of all history. He is referred to in the
Bible, Homer, the Vedas, the earliest
wall pictures of Egypt, and the recent
ly discovered literature of early Baby
ion and Akkad. In the ancient years
he appeared to have been more of an
aristocrat than. to-day. His first use
was for war; his second, for carrying
kings, priests and warriors. All the
heavy and hard work was done by the
OK, and the menial labor by the DON
key.-Rural World.

ROYAL EXTRAVAGANZA.
Finding of the Letter from Napoleon
CautiOning His Wife to
Save Money.

Empress Josephine's neglected and
crumbling palace, known as Malmai-
son, is being restored at the expense Of
the millioaire Osiris. 1t is to be built
on the original lines, or as closely as
the architects can follow them. The
collections of the several Napoleon mu-
seums are to be gathered together and
displayed on the first floor of the pal
ace as soon as the work of restoration
is completed.
In overhauling some of the old furni-
ture used by the empress many inter-
esting papers were discovered by the
workmen. Among them was letter
written to Josephine by Napoleon, un-
der date of August 10, 1S13 in which he
cautioned her to be more careful in her
disbursements. He writes:
81 have received your letter. I see
with pleasure that you are feeling well.
| have been spending several days in
Trianon, and l intend to go to Com
piegne from here. My health is very
good. Bring your affairs into order;
spend only 100000 francs a year, and
lay aside an equal amount for your
grandchildren. In ten years that will
amount to sum of $4,000, 900 francs,
with interest. 1t is agreeable to give
them something and be useful to
them. Instead of that you have, as they
tell me, incurred debts. That would
be very distasteful. Busy yourself
with your affairs. and don't give to
everyone who asks. If you wish to do
me a great favor take steps to let me
know that you possess big treasure.
Think of it, what poor opinion 1 must
have of you if l knew you were in debt,
despite your income of 3,OO0,CO francs.
Live well, my friend, stay in good
health"
I Napoleon's remark about ten years
shows how little he anticipated his
downfall. He was dead two years be-
fore that time had elapsed. = N. Y.

HORSES LOVE COMPANY.
That Is One Reason Why No Stallion
Should Be Condemned to Sol
itary Confinement.

No stallion, no matter what offense
he may have been guilty of, should be
condemned to solitary confinement,
says the Horseman. Put him in some
CHEEKY stall where he may hear what
is going on, see other horses and men
and generally live the life of other
horses on the farm. Don't shut him
away by himself SO that he will hear
or see nothing all day. There is no
surer way to make horse cross, no
surer way to teach him bad habits and
tricks that lessen his value and impair
his usefulness and vitality. No, far
from keeping the stud all by himself,
have a wire-protected window in his
stall so placed that he can see what
is going on, hear the voice of man and
enjoy the society ofsthe chickens and
cats and feel that he is verify one of
the stock family on the premises. If
more than one stallion is kept on the
farm, build them house by themselves,
not away in one corner, but up where
it is handy to get to them and leave
an open space barred with iron be-
tween them in the partition that di-
vides their stalls. Through this space
they will converse together, in all prob
ability tell each other their woes, and
if anyone will take the trouble to watch
unseen the procedure of pair of stall
lions thus housed, he will see them with
their noses at the aperture in the par
tition more than half the time. If
thus provided for, they will never get
lonely. Who shall say that horses can
not carry on some sort of conversation
in their own way? They may not be
able to do SO, but they dearly love COM
pany and they must have it.

ARTIFICIAL BROODING.

Too much glass in the brooder is a
mistake.
An evenly trimmed wick gives the
best heat.
Remove all feed after the chicks
seem satisfied.
Never crowd a brooder to it's adver-
tised capacity.
No machine can make a good hatch
from poor eggs.
Even temperature in incubator room
is imperative.
The moisture question is being more
successfully handled.
Do not allow inquisitive people to
tamper with the machines.
Never allow more than one person in
charge of the machines.-A Few Hens.

An hain't alters blessed the day she said

when the battle is on and the rider en-
courages him to advance; then, boldly,
eagerly, joyously, he charged on the
city at a gallop. Deaf to the thunder
of the cannon, Indifferent to the shot
that whistled about him, glad to sniff
again the smoke of powder, to feel once
more the excitement of the combat,
the gallant horse dashed on and on-a
sublime spectacle for whole army to
witness.
What moved him to rush on the en-
emy so madly, to affront death so
grandly? Was it the memory of Bos-
sues glorious battles? Was it the force
of habit acquired after a score of en-
agements-the result of a lesson
learned on many fields?
They who followed swiftly after him
did not know; but they swore after
ward that they had seen hand on his
bride, feet pressing his sides, a shad
owy form on his back, and for one brief
instant face, with a long scar on its
left cheek and a look such as no coward
ever wore.
The poor beast at length fell, bleed
ing from a score of wounds, but he had
done enough; in the eyes of the army,
he whose horse this had been
was vindicated. Bossue was not cow
ard.-Translated from the French for
the Argonaut by w. E. Dutil.

Hens and Their Keeper.

1t is really surprising how much bet
ter lot of hens do if they are on good
terms with the one who takes care
of them. They have way of sizing
their keeper up that is astonishing.
If they like him they are profitable;
if they do not there is something wrong
with the keeper. 1t is pretty good
thing to get on speaking terms with
the hens. They have language that
is easy to learn, and are great takers
if properly encouraged. = Farmers

FATAL ACCIDENT.

Our Spring Hills correspondent sends
us the following items:
Saturday morning about ten O'Clock
| Simeon Jackson of Bellefontaine, fell
from load of fodder and broke his
neck. His son, William Benjamin
Jackson, one of our most worthy citi-
zens, had invited his father to come
and see him, and bring his donkey
wagon and haul home load OF fodder,
The old gentleman came Friday, and
on Saturday morning started home
with his load. When within half
mile OF Spring Hills, he fell from the
load. He was found by Mr.. Will Mohr,
lying deal beside the road, his horse
having stopped near him. Mr.. Mohr
notified his son at once, and Drs. Her.
rim and Elliott were called. Both agree
that the neck was broken by the fall,
but think he was dead before he fell
from the load-perhaps from apoplexy.
The deceased, was quite old, up in the
seventies. He lived in this community
in former years, and was plasterer.-
He has one son and daughter living
here.
Mrs. Catharine Mohr of Spring Hills
died at three o'clock, Saturday after
noon. She was about 80 years of age,
and had been confined to her bed for
some time. Her husband, Mr.. Conrad
Mohr, passed away about nine months
ago. They leave three sons, near here,

some time been in poor health, and
had for months been anticipating a

would benefit her as much as to visit
her friends in Ohio.
She was always of happy disposition,
always saw the bright side, and was as
sunshine wherever duty called her.
She brought with her from Kansas her
little granddaughter, Mary Downing,
whose grief will be as great as if she
were an own daughter. A lovely rec
objection for the dear child was the Gus

mother braided Mary's hair, and just
a short time before the stroke came
they had sung "Jesus lover of my soul,

one.
1t is lovely thought that she was
permitted to come ''home," to visit
with her dear ones, and with those who

God of our fathers, known Of old
Lord Of our far-flung battle line
Beneath whose awful hand we hold
Dominion over palm and pine
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget-lest we forget!
The tumult and the shouting dies
The captains and the kings depart;
Still stands thine ancient sacrifice,
An humble and contrite heart.
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget-lest we forget!
Far-called our navies melt away
On dune and headland sinks the fire
Lo, all our pomp OF yesterday
Is one with Nineveh and Tyre;
Judge Of the nations, spare US yet,
Lest we forget-lest we forget.
II drunk with sight of power we loose
Wild tongues that have not thee in awe
Such boasting as the Gentiles use
Or lesser breeds without the law
Lord God of Hosts, be with US yet,
Lest we forget-lest we forget!
For heather heart that puts her trust
In reeking tube and iron shard---
All valiant dust that builds on dust,
And guarding calls not thee to guard
For frantic boast and foolish word,
Thy mercy on Thy people, Lord.
