Italian Took Internal Machine to
the White Heouse.

Washington, Aug. 1o.-An Italian, who
gave his name Prof" Figuccla, Of Fe-
lucco, Italy, caused some excitement at
the White House to-day by exhibiting a
brass projectle which he wished to pre-
sent to the President.
When stopped at the front door, he pre-
sented a slip Of paper bearing this in
seription Professor Figuccia presents
this projectile to the President OF the
United States" He took out of the satchel
a very heavy brass projectile and a long
wire, and explained that the pushing of
the wire through a hole, which had been
bored In the end OF the projectlle's nose,
would cause a big explosion.

ventor seeking official recognition OF his
device, and he was directed to the Italian

THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS,
Political sanction of what All
Agreed to lie Good Thing.

Political Sanction of What All
Agreed to lie Good Thing.
One of the latest writings of the late
Charles Dudley Warner was an essay
for The Century, entitled "The Pursuit
of Happiness"
Perhaps the most curious and inter.
esting phrase ever put into a public
document Is the pursuit OF happiness"
1t Is declared to be an lnalienable
right. 1t cannot be sold. 1t cannot be
given away. 1t Is doubtful II it could
be left by will.
The right Of every man to be feet
high and of every woman to be 8 feet 4
was regarded as self evident until wo-
men asserted their undoubted right to
be feet high also. when some confu-
sion was introduced into this interpre-
tation Of this rhetorical fragment of
the eighteenth century.
But the inalienable right to the pur.
suit Of happiness has never been ques-
TONED since 1t was proclaimed as a
new gospel for the new world. The
American people accepted 1t with en-
thusiasm, as II 1t had been the discov-
cry of a gold pr0spector, and started
out In the pursuit as If the devil were
after them.
lf the proclamation had been that
happiness Is common right of the
race, alienable or otherwise; that all
men are or may be happy. history and
tradition might have interfered to raise
q doubt whether even the new form of
government could so change the ethical
condition. But the right to make a
pursuit of happiness given in funda-
mental bill of rights had quite differ
cnt aspect. Men had been engaged in
many pursuits. most of them disas-
trous. some of them highly commenda-
bic, A sect in Galllee had set up the
pursuit Of righteousness as the only or
the highest object Of mans immortal
powers. The rewards of it, however,
were not always immediate. Here was
political sanction Of pursuit that
everybody acknowledged to be of a
good thing.

The Average Lawsuit.

There Is nothing more ridiculous than
the average lawsuit. Two men dispute
over a few dollars and go to law. Both
are sure to lose. Their nelghbors are
dragged In as witnesses. and the costs
amount to 10 or 20 times the amount In
dispute. Frequently these lawsuits
ruin families and start qunrrels that
last for years. Some men claim II Is
principle" that actuates them In these
lawsuits. 1t is bulhcadcdness, pure
and simple. 1t is nearly always easy
to "split the difference"
Another bad feature about these law
suits Is that the county is put to con-
siderable expense, and men willing to
work are compelled to sit on the jury,
Settle your disputes without going to
law II the man with whom you nre
dlsputlng Is not willing to 'split the
difference" he will probably accept n
proposition to leave 1t to three neigh
bors. .-Atehison Globe.

LIFTING WEAK HOR SES.
Many Valuable Animals Life Can
BE Saved by Pursuing the Plan
Here Outlined.

1t often happens in every community,
if not on every farm, that through dis
ease or accident, a horse becomes un-
able to get on its feet when down, or
stand for any time when lifted or
helped up. For animals in this condi-
ton, convalescence is always slow,
even when the animal recovers at all.
Many bad sprains or even break that
has ruined a horse might have been
cured if this or some other method of
relieving the limb of the weight of the
body had been used.
Take a number of thicknesses of bur
lap or gunny sacking, as it is often
called, folded so that it will 10 about
Is to IS inches wide and about five feet
long. AS this is to bear the weight of
the horse, there should be enough to
insure strength to bear all the strain
put upon it. Knot each end to a strong
rope. If it is in a stall, fasten pulley
block to a beam above, through which
run the rope, after having placed the
burlap under the horse, just back of
his front legs. Spread the burlap to its
extreme width, so that the weight will
be distributed over a larger surface.
Two men can now handle the horse
easily. If the horse is unable to stand,
lift him just high enough so that his
feet may rest firmly Oh the ground, and
al the same time he can rest by letting
his weight be borne by a swing. He
will soon learn to let himself rest in
this way, so there will be no danger
of overtaXing weak muscles. We saved
a valuable animal in this way after it
had been "on the lift' for two months.

FISH THAT FISHES.
Waiting MotionIess for the APP

Most remarkable of strange fishes is
the angler fish, whose very name seems
a paradox. The fishing fish is never

all that approach those awful jaws CT
his. With a body the color of mud he
generally lies in the shadow of some
rock on the bottom of the sea, waiting
motionless for the approach of his
prey. He is provided with an odd
kind of fin just over the mouth, and
this is held out in front of him to give
warning of the coming of something

experimental on and it was found
that if this projecting fin was touched
with a stick, even though the stick did
not come near the mouth, the jaws
closed convulsively. This shows that
the fin by some provision of nature
closes the jaws as soon as it is
touched. The mouth is tremendous,
growing to the width of a foot when
the whole fish is only three feet long.
One of these anglers was caught not
long since and though it was only 25
inches long. fish Is inches long was
found sticking in its throat. The
angler is provided with peculiar teeth

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

Feed so as to make the most out of
the feed, as well as the most out of the
stock.
1t is cheaper to kill and cure suffi-
cient meat now than to buy next spring
or summer.
As soon as the ground freezes hard
apply more covering to the fruit and
vegetable pits.
After an animal is reasonably well
fattened the lighter feeding usually be-
comes less profitable.
y lot of stock uniform as to size, col
or, weight and form will bring belt
prices than a mixed lot.
1t is not the amount the stool: sells
for, but the amount of profit derived
that counts to the farmer.
The team that is expected to do the
hauling during the winter should be
well shod, and should have good blan-
kets to protect them at any time they
may be left standing in the cold.-N. j.

Most of the advantages of cooking
food, and especially of food containing
much water, come from feeding it
warm. If grain of any kind is fed it
will do more good if ground and fed dry
than if cooked. Heat expands all sub
stances that contain starch. If fed dry
the animal eats more than it supposes
it is eating. The expansion occurs in
the stomach, and the animal, if a rum
inant, lies down to chew its cud and in
dulge in the long sleep that insures
good healtL and good digestion. If
horses are fed too much i: often causes
