The horse and rig stoleu from Forbes'

The 50th Anniversary Number of
the Scientific American, New York, just
out, is a really handsome and valuable
publication of 72 pages. It reviews
the progress of the past 50 years in the
various sciences and industrial arts;
and the various articles by the best
scientific writers of the day are racily
written and richly illustrated. The
editors have accomplished the difficult
task of presenting a compendium of in-
formation that shall be at once histori-
cal, technical and popular. The inter-
est never flags for a moment, and the
story of the half century's growth is in
itself a veritaole compendium of valu-
able scientific information for future
reference. Price 30 cents per copy.
A Western editor mourns his sad fate
thusly:—"Man born of a woman is of
few days add full of trouble." He is
spanked by the nurse, jerked bald-
headed by cranky school masters, and
lingers.on luxury's lap until his parent-
al ancestor fires him out to begin his
battle with, the world. He starts a
newspaper, his friends promise to sup.
pert him, but in the hour of need he
finds promises like three -cent lamp
chimneys easily broken. If he refuses
to associate with Tom, Dick and Barrs,
they say he is stuck up; and if he makes
intimates of everybody, he is courting
public favor. If he publishes all the
news, science, statistics, foreign reports
then look out, they say he is too fresh.
If he dosen't make a personal out of
every one in the town they feel slight-
ed, and if he does, he will run across
some one who does not like to be per
sonalized, and get his head punched.
When you call at the office for your
mail and the clerk hands it out ask
him if that is all. If you ask him for
your mail and be tells you there is none,
tell him there ought to be, then go
home and send the rest of the family
around at different times during the
day, Don't bring your mail to the
postoffice until the mail closes then sail
into tbecierk for not opening the mail
bag and putting your letter in. When
you want a stamp on your letter tell
the clerk to put it on ; if he don't lick it,
lick him. In case you put it on ..your-
self soak itin your mouth long enough.
to remove the muscilage, it will stick
then until dry- Be sure to ask the.
clerk to credit you with a stamp; if he
has any accommodation about him he
will do it. If you have a box stand
and drum on it until the clerk hands
your mail, It will make him feel good,
especially if he is waiting on someone
else.
