and she has no bad tricks nor defects, the

Mares that are slow and lazy and of a
passive disposition are not as apt to throw
ambitious prompt road horses as those
that are more fiery in their aotion. Some
of the best and fastest track horses were
from mares that were dangerous to' drive
because of so much spirit. Others of the
Pomona brood mares could kiok the points
off the stars and would trot untilthey drop-
ped down. It used to be that any mare
which for any cause was not fit to work was
put to breeding. The result was that a
great number of unsound colts were raised.
At the present time breeders are more care-
ful in this and trying to avoid using un-
sound animals.

is what nature fitted dp the hen to do in
the way of eggs, and gives her eight years
to do it in. The first year of her eggpro-
clueing life the hen only lays 20 eggs, but in
the three suoceeding years she retie up
ri score of IWO. That leaving her only 280
to get rid of in the four remeiiiing years
that she is on duty in that line, and she

so that in the eighth year the lays only 20
eggs again -the numbershe sterted in with.
Theh she has ended her career as an egg
producer, and too often, if ehe is in the
hands of a thrifty owner, begins another
career, this time as a summer boarder
spring chickens.
"There is a lot about hens' eggs, familiar
as they are to every one, that people don't
suspect. Now, here's an egg that would be
a rooster if it should be hatched out. This
one would develop into •a hen. How do I
know? I learned it by long observatioa of
eggs and their habits. The small end of a
hen's egg will be either as smooth as
marble or rinkled like an nutmeg. Some
folks won't buy eggs that are wrinkled, be-
cause wrinkles are a sure e'en of age. A
wrinkled egg indioates that it holds a roos-
ter in embryo. A protoplastio hen is en-
veloped by the smooth -ended shell. But
they both taste alike. Each has its pro-
portion of phosphorus, olein, albumen, sul-
phur, oasin, and margarine. There is we-
er a -plenty in a fresh -laid egg, but no more
sir than there is in a hammer. As long as
you keep the air out of your egg it will re-
main sweet and fresh, but nobody has suc-
ceeded yet in keeping it out more than six
days. The insidnous oxygen is bound to
find its way through the egg shell's pores,
and the only way to save that egg then is to
eat it. It sounds funny, but the moment
you give an egg fresh air, that moment you
ruin its health. People wonder why it is
that a bad egg is so positive and obtrusive
as to odor, but they shouldn't. What do
they expect of a combination of putrified
albumen, decayed cheese, sulphuric acid,
carbonic acid gas. ammonia, and ultra
rancid margarine set free? Honeysuckles?
"There is no accounting for the freaks
hens often take in the laying of eggs. Now
what sort of consistency is there in a hen
that is almost big enough to eat hr corn
from the top of a barrel laying an egg
no bigger than a sugar plum? And why
should a hen that you oan cover with a
quart bowl get it into her head that unless
she lays an egg that weighs half a pound or
so she is not doing her duty to herself or
family? And who may account for the
purpose that seems to actuate hens now
and then to lay four or five eggs at one
time, one inside of another like a nest of
Japanese jars? Yet such freaks are only a
I few that are common in the poultry yard.
Out of a setting of eggs one of my hens

with four fully developed legs and four eyes
while another egg that no chicken with four
fully developed legs and four eyes, while
another egg that no chicken picked its

like to know is how that one chicken

belonged to the other one. Qut of another

Minard's Liniment is the Best
WORTH FINDING.
E. Getchel, a Georgetown (Bal.) miner,
recently found a nugget valued. at 1$10,000
in Devine Gulch, one mile east of George-
town. Devine Gulch, which empties into
Oregon Canyon, was so named from one
Devine, an English sailor, who in 1851,
found in this gulch the largest nugget which
up to that time, had been found in Cali-
fornia, its value being $800. The result of
this find is illustrative of the state of socie-
ty at that time. Devine gave the nugget to
his wife, and told her that should he return
home drunk not to give him the gold, as he
would spend it. He did return drunk, and
as she refused to give him the gold, he shot
and killed her with a shot gun. Devine
was immediately hanged by the miners. It
is said that a most remarkable circum-
stance oonneeted with the lynching was
that the tree upon which he was hanged
very soon died. In 1852 another nugget
valued at $500 was found. Besides these
several smaller nuggets have been found at
various times. When Getchel found the
nugget be was sluicing off the ground,which
had been condemned as worked out, for the
purpose of filling a reservoir at the mouth
of the gulch. He noticed a few colors, and
followed up the lead to where he found
what he supposed to be a piece of quartz,
but Was astonished upon finding it to be
gold. Its weight is 561 ounces.

kehoes were first introduced in the reign
gof William Rufus, 1090. by "Robert the
Ditridy." Robert's shoes were long and
spointed, the toes being turned up and
;tivisted like a ram's horn. On this ac -
:bunt history frequently refers to him

was fresh from the dewy
Wayback, and having °erne up
for a reel old rip -snorting time
struck him that his cousin by marriage -
a well-known Wall street broker -would
be just the man to assist him in having
it.
He was received with open arms.
During the conversation which ensued
the eyes of the rural gentleman landed up-
on the 'telephone which hung in one cor-
ner of his relative's office: A telephone was
,sometOing new to him. He had heard of
tb ethIn wiesszbutleal-never-seen
one in operation, so expressed a desire "t'
see the thing wuk." "Through this little
instrument," remarked the city consin,
after committing the customary verbal
assault and battery upon central, "I am
able to talk directly with my wife,
who at present is in my house in Harlem,
and hear her replies distinctly."
"Ah, hello! Hello! Is that you dear?
All right. I just wanted to tell you that
cousin George is here."
"Now, cousin" concluded the broker,
handing the receiver to him, "if you'll
listen carefully you'll hoer exactly what
she answers."
He listened. Then he backed away
from the instrument with a pained ex-
pression.
"Well, queried the broker, with a
friendly emile, "what did she say?"
"She sed: 'I hope yew won't bring th'
old fool hum tew dinner.'"
It will never be khown exactly how the
city cousin managed to explian things. -

THOUGHTS THAT BREATHE.

with the exception of its duties on
tobacco -and beverages, but Mr WSW.
e4 manages to get revenue to pay all
expenses and have a suspins 41,1)07,-
00u, while steadily reducing the public

Jonas Hanway was said to be the first
man who carried an umbrella in the streets
of London. Umbrellas were long before
that carried by women, but they were con.
sidered a feminine luxury ,and a man would
no more be seen with one than nowadays he
would walb the streets with a paret.oLin
summer, or carry a muff in winter.
But Jonas Hanway, thinking, like a sen-
sible men, that all the good things should
not be appropriated by women, boldly walk-
ed the streets one day with an umbrella
(probably it elonged to his wife) over his
head. He not only kept himself dry among
his moist fellow -creatures, but he rendered
his name immortal, and left a shining ex-
ample to us who have not always the "cour-
age of our convictions."
But it was long before the whole country
got used to umbrellas. It was told of one
distant corner of Scotland,that in this guar -
ter umbrellas were sportedonly by the laird
and the minister, and were looked upon by
the common class of people as perfect phe-
nomena. To see the minister or the laird
go by with an umbrella over his head was as
good as a circus to the small boys of the
One day Daniel McPherson called upon
the laird to pay his rent. As he was about
to leave, a hard shower came on,and Daniel
being a well-to-do man and much "respect-
ed," the laird politely offered him the use of
an umbrella. Daniel proudly accepted the
loan, and, much elated, walked off with his
head held several inches higher than usual.
He had not been gone many minutes,how-
ever, when to the laird's surprise he sees
Daniel posting back with all possible haste,
the umbrella still held firmly over his head.
"Hae, hae, Kernel," he called out,"this'll
never do! There's nae a door in a' my house
that'll tak' it in! My verrs barn door winna
tak it in!"
Poor Daniel's bead had not yet grasped
the idea that the umbrella must be shut up
before he tried to take it in the door.
OBSERVATIONS.
HIS IDEA OF LUCK. •
"How do you get along these days,
Glinnua?"
"Pretty well. I've had what you
might call a stroke of luck lately"
"Ah! Had some money left yon?"
"No, not that. I'll tell you how it
is. I loved a woman, proposed to her
and she wouldn't have me. This
made Inc so miaerable that I was
likely to die. I proposed to another,
was accepted and married her, and
she keeps me so continually in hot
water that I haven't time to think of
the misery the .first one caused me.
In brief I may say that I ant cured."
Much is said in favor of love in a
cottage, but the fact is love is an ex-
_cellent_thing-any-where. -- -
It isn't the fear of God but the fear
of the devil that makes a good many
people religious.
From a general observation of a
woman one would, hardly suppose
that she can suffer in silence, but she
can.
Disappointment in love is nothing
compared with disappointment in
marriage.
Dr Parkhurat is doubtless of opinion
that one-half of the world dosn't know
how the other half sins.
Everyone must go to his grave with his
heart scarred like a soldier a body -some
times a parent, sometimes a child, a Mend,
a hushand or s wife. Thus the bands of
this life are gradually loosened, and death
at last is more welcome than the comfort-
less solitude of the world. -Sydney Smith
I resist the skepticism of our education
and our educated men. I do not believe
that the differences of opinion and charac-
ter in nien are organic. I do not recognize,
besides the clan of skeptics, or a class of
conservatives, or , of malignants, or of
materalists. 1 do not uelieve in the classes.

Though the quickness of thine ear were

A COMPETENT WITNESS.
--
In one of our courts recently, a 9.
year old boy was placed on the wit-
ness stand, but before he began to
testify, the defendant's counsel ob-
jected and would not allow him to
give his evidence, asking the court
to pass on his intelligence and hisoidea
of the responsibility of an oath.
"Question him on these points," was
the judge's reply.
"How old are you?" began the law-
yer.
"Nine years old."
"Work or go to school?"
"Do both -sell papers and flowers.
"Do you know what an oath is?"
"Tell the truth in this case, sure."
"Now, if you should not -state the
truth and tell a lie, what would be-
come of you in the next world?"
The boy, after hesitating awhile,
answered:
"I don't know what will become of
me in this world; let alone the next."
"Proceed, Mr. Attorney," said the
judge; "the boy seems to have more
than the ordinary intelligence." -
