NO SLEEP FOR A MORTGAGE.
The InexorahIe Taskmaster Described
by Sufferer.

The mortgage is self supporting
institution. 1t always holds its own.
1t calls for just as many dollars
when grain is cheap as when grain
is dear. 1t is not affected by the
drought. 1t is not drowned out by
the heavy rains. 1t never winter
kills. Late springs and early frosts
never trouble it. Potato bugs do
not disturb it. Moth and rust do
not destroy it. 1t grows nights,
Sundays, rainy days and even hoi-
days. 1t brings a sure crop every
year and sometimes twice a year.
1t produces cash every time. 1t
does not have to wait for the market
to advance. 1t is not subject to
speculations of the bulls and bears
on the board of trade. 1t is load
that gals and frets and chafes.
1t is a burden that the farmer
cannot shake off. 1t is with him
morning, noon and night. 1t eats
with him at the table. 1t gets I'M
der his pillow when he sleeps. 1t
rides upon his shoulders during the
day. 1t consumes his grain crop.
1t devours his cattle. 1t selects the
finest horses and the latest steers.
1t lives upon the first fruit of the
season. 1t stalks into the dairy
where the busy housewife tolls day
after day and month after month
and takes the incest cheese and the
choicest butter. 1t shares the chill
dren's bread and robs them of their
clothes. 1t stoops the toiler's back
with its remorseless burden of care.
1t hardens his hands, benumbs his
intellect, prematurely whitens his
locks and oftentimes sends him and
his aged wife over the hills to the
poorhouse. 1t is the memorable and
exacting taskmaster. It's whip is as
merciless and cruel as the lash of
the slave driver. 1t is a menace to
liberty, a hindrance to progress, a
curse to the world. = Ringwood

IN BED WITH A CORPSE.
Grewsome Experience of a Traveller
In an Arizona Town.

"About II o'clock on a stormy
night in November of a certain
year," said a Baltimore commercial
traveller, ga friend and I stepped
from train in one of the small
towns in Arizona. A broken down
market wagon was the only vehicle
about. We hailed the driver and
were taken to the only hotel which
the town could boast. We found
the proprietor asleep in his chair,
which was tilted against the front
of the bar. He was awakened by
our noisy entrance.
"To our dismay, we were told at
first that there were no accommo-
dations to be had, the hotel being
filled with cattle dealers. But upon
our insistence the proprietor con-
sented to put US up for the night.
My friend was assigned to a room
over the dining room, while agreed
to bunk with the proprietor's son,
who was already asleep.
GA short time after l retired there
came a noise at my door. Two men
stepped boldly into the room and
opened bags that they carried. Pre-
Stunning that they were robbers, l
kicked my bedfellow on the foot,
but he did not move. l kicked him
again, and as he did not respond l
threw my arms across his face.
Great heavens l shrieked, greatly
startled, as the face was icy cold.
The men, hearing me yell, fell over
each other endeavoring to get out
of the room, never stopping to pick
up their lanterns or effects.
81 Immediately dressed and went
downstairs, relating as best l could
my story to the landlord, who, now
wide awake, listened attentively.
To my establishment, l learned that
instead of being assigned to room
10, which was occupied by his son,
I had been put in No. Is, which
contained a corpse. The men that
I supposed were robbers were I'M
dertakers, who had come to prepare
the body for burial. What they
thought when they heard the sup
posed corpse make such an cutlery
l could only surmise. baltimore

Handling the Reins.

There is one way of handling a spir-
tied horse that upon certain occasions
l have found particularly serviceable,
remarks a correspondent in an eX-
change. Not a few farm horses that
are FESTIVE and afraid when around
railroad trains and nearing crossings
are made so by the seeming timidity
of the drivers. If the driver is the least
bit nervous and begins to pull up lit
tie on the reins, the horse discovers it
instantly and is upon his mettle, while
if the driver is cool and handles the
reins precisely as elsewhere there are
few horses that discover anything to be
afraid of even when the train appears
in sight. The action of the driver in
many cases determines the action of
the horse.

The Brain of an Ant.

Although an ant is a tiny crea-
ture, yet its brain is even timer.
But although it is necessarily small
er than the ants head which con-
tains it, yet it is larger in proper
ton, according to the ants size,
than the brain of any known crea-
ture. The best writers upon ants
those who have made the astonish-
ing intelligence of these little in
sects a special study-are obliged
to admit that they display reason
ing ability, calculation, reflection
and good judgment. Such quail
ties of brain show a more than or
binary instinct, and we are not sur
prised to hear that the ants big
brain carries out our idea that he
possesses a higher intelligence than
is shown by other workers of his
size.

HOTBED FOR EARLY PLANTS.

side to give the glass a pitch toward
the sun. Take a plank or board ten
inches wide for the front and one six
teen inches wide for the back is about
right The ends of the frame should
come up even with the top of the side
planks and be ripped off to give the
proper pitch. A cleat should be nailed
on the end of the hotbed, as shown at G
in the figure, to hold the sash from slip
ping endwise. The frame should also
have a stay across the top about every
six feet to prevent the sides from
springing out, shown at a.
Select some sheltered spot where
there is plenty of sunshine and dig out
hole about a foot larger than the
frame on every side and about two and
half feet deep. Draw out a load or
two of fermenting horse manure. If
the manure is heating evenly all
through, it may be put into the pit at
once; if not, it should be shaken up
thoroughly and piled up in a close,
compact pile and left a few days. If
any portions Of it are dry, it should be
wet down. In filling the pit care should
be taken to tread down the manure
firmly. The manure should extend be-
yond the frame on all sides q foot at
least; then set Oh the frame and bank
it up on the outside to the top of the
frame with manure.
Next put on six to eight inches of
soil, put on the sash and let it sweat.
By about the third or fourth day it will
do to SOW to seed. Radishes, lettuce
and onion sets may be put in along
with cabbages, peppers and elephants.
The sash should be raised a little every
day to give the plants fresh air. When
moisture begins to gather on the under
side of the glass, you may know the
temperature is running too high and
that fresh air should be admitted. Cara
must be taken not to allow cold wind
to blow on the plants.
An Improved Hotbed Shutter.
In cold nights the sash should be COW
cred with straw mating or burlaps,
and in case of rain or snow it is well
to have an improved hotbed shutter the
same size as the top of the hotbed. This
shutter saves time and labor. To make
it get strips of three-eighths inch thick
lumber nail these on to cleats seven
eighths inch by 2 inches at ends and
middle; then take building paper and
spread over the entire surface then fill
and pack the spaces with rye straw.
Cover again with building paper and
nail on the boards on the under side.
This shutter takes the place of the ordi-
nary board shutter and straw mats and
saves time in handling. Two iron han
dies, like door handles, screwed on near
each end, midway, help handle it. One
can do quite business with few hot
beds of this kind

The Status of Children.

A child of British parents, wheth-
er born in France, China or any 9th
er country, is a British subject. So,
too, is the child of American par
ents wherever they are situated.
What is more, these two greedy
countries claim as their own all chill
dren born within their dominions,
but in England the child Of aliens
is permitted when he comes Of age
to choose his own nationality. 1t is
plain that if each state attempted to
claim as its own every one born in
it's borders there would be endless
quarrels. International law on the
subject says, therefore, that there
shall be no attempt to exercise au-
thority over natural born subjects
so long as they are outside the Dor
ders of their own countries. Once a
man returns to his own country
that state is permitted to deal with
him as it sees ft.-London Answers.

that though the flower looks pale it
will revive and glow with the blush of
health if she will wear it a few hours.

white rose, but a red one, which you

trated in the picture by holding it

Injury From Tightly Laced Shoes.

laced shoes or tight CATERS so long
that the muscles of their feet and
ankles have perceptibly shrunk and
lost a large portion of their power
Shoes tightly laced at the ankle de-
prive the foot of its needful supply
of blood, and after the foot be-
comes weak it is extremely liable to

THE RATTLESNAKE.
How the Rattle In the Reptiles Tail
Is Formed.

10 VI
The structure from which the
rattlesnake takes its name-the rat
tle-consists mainly Of three or
more solid, horny rings placed
around the end of the tail. These
rings themselves, are merely dense
portions of the general outer skin
of the body, but the rattle has also
a solid foundation of bone, for the
last three bones of the tail be-
come united together into one solid
hole or core, grooved where the
bones adjoin, while they increase in
size toward the hinder end of the
complex bone thus formed This
bony core is invested by skin also
marked by grooves, which CORE
spond with those at the functions
of the three bones, and this skin be-
comes much thickened and so forms
the incipient, imperfect rattle of
such young snakes as have not yet
cast their skin. When it is cast, the
skin investing the tail close to It's
termination is not cast off, but is
held fast by the enlarged end of the
bony core before mentioned.
The piece of skin thus retained
becomes a loose ring in front of the
incipient rattle and thus forms a
first joint or ring of the future per-
feet rattle. The same process is re-
peated at each mott, a fresh loose
ring or additional joint to the per-
feet rattle being thus formed every
time the skin is shed. Thus the
perfect rattle comes ultimately to
consist of a number of dry, hard,
more or less loose, horny rings, and
in this way rattle may consist of
as many as twenty-one coeXisting
rafting rings. 1t is the shaking Of
these rings by a violent and rapid
wagging of the end of the snakes
tail which produces the celebrated
rafting sound-a sound which may
be compared to the rafting of a
number of peas in rapidly shaken
paper bag.
