Paine Accepted Devoe's Offer.
Good yarn : How Devoe got
an agent at Delhi, N. Y.
Gladstone it I'aine wore agents
for ; we - mustn't tell
names. Devoe wanted 'em.
Paine was painting his big Colon
ial house. Said it took 10 gallons
of while for the trim.
Devoe sant him 10 gallons and
Raul : if you get it all on, no pay;
if you have any left, return it and
piy for the rest. Agreed.
He returned four gallons and
took the agency. Four or tivo
years ago. Ho knows now that
his old paint was aud is adulter
ated; that's why it took ten gal
Ions to equal six of Devoe.
Go by the name: there is but
one mime to go by: Devoe lead

A Horse's Toe Nails.
Few persons realize that a
horse's hoof is really the same
thing as the toe nails of human
beings or if animals having toes.
The horn of a hoof grows just rs
a toe nail does. The hoof gi'jws
more rapidly in unshod hifses
than in those wearing shoes, and
it grows faster in horses which
are well groomed and well fed.
But on an average the horn grows
about a third of an inch a month.
Hind hoofs grow faster than fore
hoofs. The toe of the hoof being
the longest part, it takes longer
for the horn to grow down there
than at the heel. For instance,
the toe will grow entirely down
in from eleven to thirteen months
while the heel will grow down in
from three to five months. As the
new horn grows out any cracks or
defects ui the old gradually works
down to where they can be cut
off, just as with human finger
nails you can watch the progress
of a bruise from the root to the
tip. New York Sun.

How It Feels to be Hanged.

hung as a confederate spy. I
spent four minutes physically
and spiritually between earth
aud htiivon. Then a Yankre
sorgeant holievino, mi; lo be the
wrong man, cut me down, says
the Kev. J. T. Mann in Spare
Moments.
My first sensation when the
barrel was kicked from under
my feet was that a steam boiler
inside me was about to explode.
Every vein and blood vessel to and
from heart seemed charged with
an oppressive fullness that must
find an avenue of escape. The
nervous system throughout its
length was tingling with a pain
ful pricking sensation the like of
which I never felt before or since.
Then followed the sense of an ex
plosion as if a volcano had erupt
ed. This seemed to give me re
liel aud the pain gave way to a
pleasurable feeling, one very de
sirable could it be secured with
'Ut death. With this sensation a
light broke in upon my sight, a
light of mihty whiteness, yet
strange to say, so transparent that
is was easier to pierce with the
eye than the light of day. Then
came into my mouth a taste of
sweetness the like of which I
have never since known. And I
felt myself moving on, with a con
sciousness of leaving everything
behind. Then I heard the sweet
est of music, and it seemed that
more than a thousand harps led
in each part, accompanied by
myriads of voices.
And the sensation of coming
back to life after I had been cut
down, was just as painful as the
first feeling of hanging. It was
acute torture. Every nerve
seemed to have a pain of its own.
My nose and lingers were seats
of the most excruciating agony.
In half an hour the pain was all
gone, but I would not go through
the experience again for the
wealth of the Indies.

Mr. Harden is right; it's the best

RECIPE FOR LIFE'S HAPPINESS.
Seek to Remember Only flood Points of
One's Neighbors.
If you would lucrease yur
bappiness and prolong your life,
forget your neighbor's faults.
Korget the slander you have
heard. Forget the temptations.
Forget peculiarities of your
fneuds, and only remember the
good points which make you fond
of them. Forget all personrl
quarrels or histories you may
have heard by accident. Blot out
as far as possible all the disa
greeables of life; they will come,
but they will grow larger when
you remember them, and the con
staut thought of the acts of moan
uess will only tend to make you
more familiar with them. Onlit
erate everything disagreeable
from yesterday; start out with a
clean sheet for to day, aud write
on it only lovely things.
