The Mule Is Doomed.

The days of the gay and festive
mule are said to be numbered. With
in the next few centuries his melo-
dious voice will have been stilled
forever. This is the phrophecy of
the United States Consul General
Richard Guenther, at Frankfort,
Germany, who sends an official re-
port to the state department on the
chances of the zebrula, a cross be-
tween the horse and zebra, suppressed
ing the mule. he says of the quail
fcations of the zebrula: German
papers contend that it has been dem
onstrated that the mule the horse
and donkey are inferior to the cross
between horse and zebra.
Professor Ewart produced crosses
from mares of different breeds and
zebra stations of the burcheel kind.
The offspring is called zebrula and on
account of its form and general bod
lily conditions, especially the hard
ness of the hoofs. is especially adapt
ed for all transportation heretofore
performed by mules. The zebra
stripes are well preserved, while the
undertone of the skin is generally
that of the mother"

Edis0n's New PhOnOgrdph.

New York Cor. Chicago Tribune:
Thomas A. Edison has just perfected
a new photograph which he believes
will simplify the recording and re-
production of testimony and dicta-
tion. Two machines have been turned
out and operated successfully. With
the new machine one operator can do
the work of eight under the old sys-
TEN. Although no larger than the
ordinary monographs, the new de-
vice is different in many particulars.
The record is about nine inches
thick and is capable of taking from
eight to nine letters of the ordinary
length. Another advantage claimed
for the record of the new machine is
that it can be shaved IL times, max.
ing it cost no more than the cheapest
paper. The machine is operated by
electricity.
After the person debating has fin
ished his work typewriter operator
takes the record and transfers it to a
phonograph at his desk. When he
touches a stud or button with his foot
the machine begins to reproduce
The invention is not claimrd to be an
entirely new or untried one, but II
had not been thoroughly perfected
that it could profltably be used fol-
the purposes referred to until now.

A story Is told OF the Moorish prince
Abul Hejex. who was thrown into
prison for sedition by his brother No
hammed. king of Granada. There he
remained for several years until the
king. fearing he might escape. placed
himself at the head of fresh revolt
and seized the crown. ordering one of
his pashas to see to his immediate exc
cution. Abul Hejex was playingat chess
when the pasha came and bade him
prepare for death. The prince asked
for two hours respite. which was re-
fused. After earnest entreaty he OBJ
tanned permission TO finish his game.
He was in no hurry about the moves.

not. for before an hour had elapsed a
messenger brought the news that Mo-

deed small favor for the pasha TO
grant. but IL altered the whole current

EFFICACY OF THE ONION,

q Cold.

Cold.
The idea Of an onion cure may not
strike the fancy OF the aesthetic. How
ever. the experience Of those who have
tried il is that it works wonders In re
storing a racked system to its normal
state again. There are three kinds Of
doses in the onion cure. or three onion
cures. as you choose to put 1t. One Is q
diet of onions, the other is onion plas-
tiers and the third Is onion sirup.
1t is claimed by those who believe in
the onion cure that bad cold can be
broken up IL the patient will stay in
doors and feed on a liberal diet Of
onions. 1t need not be an exclusive
diet, but a liberal one. For instance,
an onion cure breakfast includes q
poached egg on toast, three tablespoon
fuls of fried onions and a cup Of coffee
Luncheon of sandwiches, made Of Bos-
ton brown bread. buttered and filled
with finely chopped raw onions, sea
soned with salt and pepper, makes the
second meal on the schedule. For sup
per the onions may be fried as fol-
breakfast and eaten with a chop and {
baked potato.
The strange efficacy Of onions IL well
known TO the singers Of Italy and
Spain, who eat them every day to Inn
prove the quality of their voices and
keep them smooth Onion plasters are
prescribed to break up hard coughs
They are made of fried onions placed
between two pieces Of old muslin. Ths
plaster is kept quite hot until the pa
tient is snugly in bed. when II Is placed
on the chest to stay overnight. Onior
sirup is a dose that can be bought OF
any druggist and is claimed by some tC
be unequa.ed as a cure for cold In thu

All this is probably quite true. Fol
to be done up with onions. both inside
and out, would be enough certainly Il

Time for Two Cent Railroad Fare.

The railroad systems of the coun-
try are prospecting as never before.
Their business has increased in un-
precedented degree during the past
few years. They ought to be willing
to share the prosperity with the peo-
pie who make it possible. 1t is time
for the establishment of fiat rate
of cents a mile for passengers on all
roads except, possibly those of the
far West and South, where the traffic
is comparatively light.
The railroads can afford to make
the reduction. The adoption of the
2-cent rate by many of the Eastern
companies has resulted in heavier
patronage and increased revenue.
Interurban railways prosper every.
where and the average rate of fare
charged by them is II cents a mile.
The popularity of cheap Sunday ex.
cursions is another evidence that a
reduction in fares would mean a more
than compensating increase in bust.
ness.
1t is rumored that the Chicago
Great Western will celebrate the
opening of its Omaha extention a
month hence by offering interchange
able l0O0-mile books for sale at 81
fat. If this proves correct, compel
ing roads will be forced to meet the
company's action.
Those which refuse to make the re
duction might well be forced to take
the step by the state legislatures
which need have no fear that such
action, undertaken primarily in the
interest of the travelling public
would work any injury to the railroad
corporations.-O. S. Journal.

Il Manffests Itself In Numerous and
Curious Ways.

Seeing that the maxillary apparatus

the need to exercise it should express
itself as a powerful instinct This in
stinct manifests itself in many and
curious ways. During the early months
Of life the natural function of feeding

children seeking to satisfy the natural
instinct by sucking their thumbs. fin

The teeth are a provision for biting
hard foods. but even before they actu-
ally appear we find the child seeking
to exercise his toothless gums on any
hard substance he can lay hold of, and
there can be no doubt that exercise Of
this kind tends to facilitate the erup-
ton Of the teeth, u truth indeed recog-

Mirrors.

The first record concerning mirrors
dates back to the days of the venerable
Moses, and they were made of brass.
When the Spaniards landed in South
America they found mirrors of polished
black stone in use among the natives.
In the fifteenth century the first glass
mirrors Were made in Germany by a
blowpipe, and were convex. The first
mandatory Of glass mirrors for sale
was established in Venice early in the
sixteenth century. In the reign Of

HORSE WHISPERERS.
Secret Methods That Were Used

Secret Methods That Were Used by
Irish Animal Tamers.
Ireland, as well as the far north Of
Scotland, had-possibly still has--its
''horse whisperers." though the broth.
erings" which give such permanencs
and gcniality TO the Scottish 'plow-
mans whisper" never seem to have ex-
listed In the sister island. Irish "whis-
perers" have been lonely men, whose
secret has generally died with them.
says the Golden Penny.
The most famous "whisperer'' of
Dunhallow. No horse was ever
brought to Sullivan which he did moi
permanently tame. Ordinarily restive
animals he would master i'm a few min.
utes. For exceptionally vicious horses
he took about half an hour, during
which time he shut the stable door and
forbade any one TO open il till he gave
the signal. When the door was opened
the horse was still lying down and
Sullivan by his side. playing with him
as a child does with a puppy. There
was no tying up of the foreleg or any
other visible means Of coercion How
his ascendency was obtained no ons
could tell.
A successor of Sullivan named
O'Hara became almost equally famous
and was often urged to explain whai
was the secret OF his influence. But
O'Hara treated his questioners az Sam
son did the Philistines, deluding then
with various and unsatisfactory an
swers. At one time, for instance, b,
said the secret lay in rocking" thu
horse-putting one hand firmly on hi
crupper, and with the other graspin{
his shoulder and then swaying him Il
and fro, gently Mt first and graduall,
increasing the motion till you throw
him. At another time he protested tina
his plan was to bite the animals ear
Both these are well known jocke,
tricks. The most stubborn horse, the,
say. will be wholly subdued by beinl
thrown twice or thrice, and II you cal
get a vicious horses ear between you
teeth and bite hard you are his maste
and he your submissive slave from tina
time forward. As to the idea that tn
''whisperer" works by kindness,
stands TO reason that that method sup
poses the entire education of the ami
NAL to be in your hands. II you hav
only half an hour to do your work In
you must show overmastering powe
as well as kindly feelings. A hors
