fact tbt in many stc'ions the mule h.is j
is raacy rrieucM as tte horse for lb.-, ob

mules are their hardiness, endurance
and the case with which they can be
solJ.
A Kentucky breeder, who has been
engaged in raising cjulea for thirty
years, nukes the following sueTgestioue:
The raisiuK of mules in Keulucky ( r ihe
West is not profitable unless the ani
mals produced be of good size say from
fourteen and oue-balf to fifteen and
one-halt hands high. The best jacks
for this class of mules are not less than

always command a good price. The
most important Improvement in jack
In the state of Kentucky was through
the introduction of the well known
Spanish jacks. Mammoth and Warror.
These were imported from from Spain
between the years and IS40. These
jacks, at date of anival, were valued
at, and cost. So, 000 each, and were full

proved the size of the jack stock by
crossing on the common j -nut t of Ken
tucky. Later importations from the
same source made additional improve
ments, but none so decided as the two
above named.
According to estimates made by the
United S'.alea agricultural department,
tbe S:ate in which mules rate highest is
Xew Jersey, the next highest beinj: in
Maryland. Texas had the greatest
number of any S. ate, and the animals
are valued at a lower price less than
one half the average value in 2s ew Jer
sey, for instance. Kentucky and Mis
souri show up well in this mdnstrv.
The prejudice against the mule is an
urjustoue. For farm work ant! road
hauling it exceed all otuer animals ;
it is more economical, is stronger, hard
ier, never gets sick, and, according to
old traditious, never dies.
'rains of Hold.
Ungreatfulness is the very poison of
manhood.
Truth hath better deeds than words
to grace it.
If You would be good, first believe
that you are bad.
Ihe amenities of life make the truo
beaty of living.
Truth, like roses, often blossoms up
on a tuorty stem.
We ure uu liable to be corrupted by
books as by companions.
And let me tell you that every misery
I miss is a new blessing.
True bsaedr.ess couslsteth in good
life and a happy death.
traod breeding is like affection, one
cannot have too much of it.
The light of the understanding hu

The power of forgiveness Is the no-
blent attribute in the hurnm character.
As "uukiudneas has no remedy at

point of honor.
Men'a hearts ought not to te set
agaiost one auother, but set with one
another and all against the evil thing.
But a perverse temper and a fretful
disposition will, wherever they prevail,
render any state of life whatsoever un
happy. It is with narrow souled people as
with narrow necked bottUs ; the less
they have in them the more noise thev
are pouricg out.
I
A Hope Walker's Coolness.
If 1 njyself d Dot feel nervous, I am
afraid tb many persona I haye cariird
on my back across the rope have felt a
tiill.e perturbed, cave when tlieyhve
been professional assiitaols. In realiiy
thero is nothing in the world for them
to be afraid of. AH hey have to do is
to sit perfectly still refrain from cluth
icg me too lishtly around the neck and
leave the rest to me. Wheu I am car
rying any one over for the first time, I
chat to him continuously on any indif
ferent sub jects I can tbink about, and
try in this manner to relieve his anxiety,
aud I always caution him against look
ing downward when in mid air. Sime
how, though, he never seems quite hap
py, aud I always detect a gasp of relief
when the ena of the rope and the plat
form are reached. More than once the
victim has devoutly exclaimed, "Never
again !"
Waterfall Oter the L'arth.
It has been estimated that an average
of five feefof water falls annually over
the whole earth. Supposing that con
densation takrs place at an average
height of 3.000 feet, remarks General
tStrachey, the force of evpioralion to
supply such rainfall must equal the lift,
ing of 322 000 000 pounds .f water 3 000
feet in every minute, or about 300 000,
000 horse power constantly exerted. Of
this great energy a very small part is
transferred to the waters that run back
through rivers to the sa. and a still
smaller fraction is utilized by mn ; the
remainder Is dissipated ic "pace.
By reVcting the teH animals and
seeds of the best plants a constant im
provement will be the result. Br ne
glecting to do so both animals and
plants will degenerate. There Is a ten
dency to always revert to the originals
which can only be prevented by the
careful selection of the hardiest, must
perfect and bent adabted to climatic in
fluences. Every faamer la the country
can assist in the work of improvement
by giving attent ion to thos matters.

From Bltlne the Finger 'ails.
A novel accident, resulting from a
habit of very common prevalence
among nervous people, was bronght to
my notice recently. A young lady pre
sented herself at my cflice, complaining
of a constant irritation in her throat.
Two weeks previously she had been
taken with a very severe "sore throat,"
was treated by a neighboring physician.
Under his care, she says, the inflammas
tion quickly subsided, but there still re
mained a secstion of irritation. Ex
amination revealed a small, fleshy-looking
object, about the s!z? of a kernel of
wheat, adherent to the tissues posterior
to the left tonsil by one end. The
other parts of the throat were normal.
Th little mass could not be detach
ed by acotton covered probe, but by the
use of forceps it was easily removed,
and on examination proved to be a
piece of finger nail, which has become
covtred by a cheesy deposit. A broken
piece of the nail was alsj removed from
under the mucous membrane at the
same spot by a sharp pointed probf.
The patient then confessed to the habit
o' bitting her finger nails, and more
over, could remember that one day or
two previous to the onset of ber throat
trouble a piece of nail she bad bitten off
had beco.ne lost in her month, but after
it bad caused a fi: of coughing the had
forgot ten about it and was reminded
by my discovery.
Wooden Toothpicks.
A too'bpick fa:ory, so says the Tim
berrnnn. Is one of the flourishing wood
working establishments at Harbor
Springs, Mich., and is one of the larg
est factories of the kind in the country.
White birch is exclusively used in the
manufacture of the toothpicks, and
about 7.500,000 of .he handy little splin
ters are turned out daily. The logs are
sawed up into bolts each 28 inches in
length, then thoroughly steamed and
cut np into veneer. The yeneer is cut
into long ribr-ous, three inches In width,
and these long streaming ribbons, eight
or ten of them at a time, are run through
the toothpick michinery, coming out at
the other end. the perfect pieces falling
Into one basket, the broken pieces and
refuse falling into another. The picks
are packed into bjxes, 1,500 in a box,
by girt, moslly comely-looking young
squa a, and are then packed in cases
and finally into big boxes, ready for
shipment to all parts of the world. Toe
white birch toothpicks are very neat
and clean in appearance, sweet to the
taste, and there is a wide market for
them. The goods sell at the factory at
5l!0acaseof 150,000 picks. 100 small
boxes each containing 1,500, and the
small boxes etch containing 1.500. and
the small boxes retail at five cents each,
or 300 pick for one cent, at which rate
almost everybody can afford to take a
fresh tootbp ei after each meal.
Concerning Smutted Wheat.
It has been demonstrated oyer and
over again that perfectly clean ground
will produce a clean crop. It is with
smut as with weeds of ail sorts ; if we
have eeeds we shall have weeds grow
ing up as a result, but If we have no
seeds there will be no weeds. with
smut. Clean seed upon a clean field
will result in a clean crop. Never al
low a second crop to immediately fol
low a smutted crop of wheat. Just
how great a length of time ought to in
tervene has not been certainly deter
mined. It would be much safer to al
low several years, however, and It
would be still better to have the soil
stirred frequently, as by planting a
cultivated crop like corn or potatoes.
There are at least two diseases of wheat
to which the name of smut is popularly
app'ied, although they can be readily
distinguished by a little care in rruks
ing examination of the heads. In the
one case the kernels only are affected,
the intericr of each being a black,
powderly mass, the skin the grain being,
however. Intact. In the other case, not
only are the kernels affected and en
tirely des royed, but the chaff is also
attacked and all are reduced to a black
powder, which drops to the ground
upon the slightest touch or la boine
away by the gentlest bteeze.

A Danish Marriage.
The rnmber or invita'ions ?o a

are S'-lJcoi less than DO assrmUrd.
and often as many, an 150. od and
youiifc, aajs the rurtni'jhtlij JUvicw. A
day or two U-fore tbe w-dl!ua tbe
various guests send their gifis. not to
the bride, but to her parents, consist
ing generally of contributions toward
tbe expected feast, and beyond parti
cipating in much revelry and good
cheer tbe bride and bridegroom do net
persona'Jy benefit. One friend con
tributes, say, eight pounds of golaen
butter, piled birh on a platter fringed
with greenery ; another a score or two
of eggs or some chickens. A lamb,
joints of beef, or a small cask of Cne
old October brew follow in quick suc
cession, and in this way tbe parents
frequently receive more provender than
can be consumed at the festivity, and-
tbeir sole expense consists in the hir
ing or plates and dishes from the near
est stores in the town where the farmer
sells bis grain and buys bis wife's gro
ceries nd ribbons. For mon'hs before
the wedding the bride with ber mother
and sisters have been bard ac work At
tbe loom, spinning and weaving all tbe
linen for the person as well as for the
house; which store, together with a
couple of young horses, a couple of
cows, and a pair of sheep, invariably
form a part of ber marriage portion.
Bridal ornaments are not heirlooms, as
in Norway. The Danish peasant girl
wears a simple crown of myrtle with her
national costume varying with tbe dis
trict, but always charming and pjts of
myrtle are carefully cherished by girl
ish hands through tbe long winterr m
anticipation of tbe great event. Her
sole heirloem is the great oaken dower
chest, heavily clamped and often finely
carved, that holds her goodly store of
linen. At 11 o'clock on tbe wedding
morning all the gueEts meet at tbe
bouse of the bride, driving ud In carts.
and when she is ready the IoLg pro
cession starts for the church, beaded
by two outriders, who are the best men.
Next follows a cart containing the band,
three or four brass instruments and that
standing dish, the village flddler. After
tbeu comes the cart containing the
tride alone, both parents remaining at
home to put the fiinisbing touches to the
festive board already spread. Behind
the bride comes the bridegroom, also
alone, driven by a karle. He sits in the
middle of his vehicle in all the con
scious glory of a new tall hat and vast
cloak with many capes, wern even in
the summer time, much as tbe lord
mayor wears bis robe, as lending a dig
nity suitable to the solemnity and ae a
mark of distinction. Near tbe church
children stnsw fljwers. as well as Drar
the bride't old home, where there ia
also an archway draped with fltgg.
Returning from church the bride and
bridegroom sit together, the band pre
ceding them, heralding their approach
with a fanfare.

he learned their value In his yonng
days from Oriental carptnters. You
should sift it through wire gauze. Put
each separately in a box wiih a Ubel
and jou axe always ready for a sudden
job. For a crack, a worm eaten hole
or a deepfl tw prepare tbe proper dust,
by tht admixture of brick dust in fljur

or any rrquirtd tint. Then take wtl.
cooked glue, and on a house plate 6tir

powder for your work. Db tbe ho'e

with a putty knife stir ab6ut tbe mix

point, take some of the cement on tbe
end of tbe knife and insert it in tbe
desired place. Then use as m uch pres

little of tbe powder on the spot. When

woodworms have devoured tbe furni

Hints about Horses.
It cos!s more to keep a poor horse thar
It does to keep a good one.
Change the feed for yonr horses often
enough to make them relish It.
Improper feeding Is tbe cause of nine
out of ten cases of sickness among
horses.
Every time you worry 3 our horses you
shorten their lives and days of useful
ness. Sweat and dost cause tbe hotse's
shoulders to g!l. S j do poor, 111 fitting
collars.
The temperature of water for horses
is not so much of an ot ject as tho pur
ity of it. While it is best to have the
water cool, it Is more important to hare
it free from all impurities.
