Mud. born of wonmii, spanked by a red-haired bleery-eyed nurse and jerked around by a cranky schoolmaster, is of a number oi years and attended with a * heterogewious assortment of trials and JR tribulations. He lingers in t lie parental ■n lap of luxury until his old man tires him out to root hog or die. He hires . out at $5 a week to do counter hopping at a one-horse country store and finally promotes himself to a cashier in a bank at a stipulated wage of sl2 a week. On this he is expected to board at a firstclass hotel ana wear tailor made cloths. Os the two evils which present themselves lie chooses the least and skipps forCanada. He marries a lovely creature of eighteen summers bound in flue laces and ribbons, and who is the ; possessor of an ice cream appetite and . a mother of forty five winters and a . healthy jaw. He forms a close friend- ; ship with the members of a club room i ■fcWr^mo^er in-law kicks. He goes | of the year with the solemn injunction not to look upon the wine wheiMtJs red and like a dutiful son he lets it alone and takes Torn and Jerry when it is the color of a “yaller” dog. He leaves his rented “flat” in ' the morning an example of domestic ■ virtue and sobriety and when the dawn is breaking he is taken home in a hack with a jag on that has made him oroide. He next starts a newspaper and his friends promise to support him with their collateral for a year in advance but when he rounds up the year he finds his stock in trade to consist of a box of pi, a hell box ami an old Father of his country hand press, while bis books show credits of p— elm wood and unpaid subscriptions. He finds that the promises of Lis friends have been like o’er ripe hen fruit—easily broken and calculated to make a man weary. If he don’t try to boom the town the business men cuss him ami if he does they withdraw their advertis ing and subscription and declare Lima misfit. If he pitches into the prohibitionists, the church folks stop their papers. If he sounds the tocsin of lower tariff his protectionist friends call him a free trader and copper head P and if he howls for pap for the infant industries, his tariff redacti nists call him a bloated monopolist. If he refuses to recognize the rag tag and bob. tail element of society they call him rr- >ri U P» and if he does the sassity folks wont have him in their set. If he publishes all the latest news, science, statistics, foreign report and business outlook, they say he is getting too fresh and metropolitan and if he doesn't they say he has no Ahiuk box. If he does not make a personal mention of every old woman and egotistical man in town they say he doesn’t publish any news and if he does he will run across, the fellow who wants to know woo writ that ’ar piece, and get Lis head punch;, ed.—Bremen Enquirer. A Sagacious Dog. One of Seattle's leading physicians, who brags that he is “a descendent of one of the first families of Virginia, sah!’’ tells a story of a dog’s sagacity that is rather astonishing, to say the least, says the Seattle Press. •‘When I was a boy’,” says the doctor. “my father used to keep a large number of hogs. Sometimes he would have as many as a hundred on the farm. We were constantly annoyed by hogs belonging to our neighbors getting in with ours. The only way we could tell them was a branding mark on the shoulder. But Fido’s sagacity used to save, us a great deal of trouble. Every morning the dog used to run in among the hogs. It is difficult to believe, but it is an actual fact that he knew the branding mark. He would go up to every hog in turn, put his front paws on the porker’s shoulder and look at the mark. If it was ours he let the but if it was any other mark he^would take the hog by the ear, lead ffto the gate and then stand there pi king until some one came to let it “But Fido’s sagacity did not end there. He soon got so that he knew every mark, so that when the gate was I opened he would lead the hog by the ear a short distance in the direction it ought to go and then stand there barking until it was out of sight.” The Brook Beneath the Snow. ’Way down in dad's ol’ medder, where the ; pussy willers grow. I used to go an’ lisseu to the brook beneath I the snow; Above 1 heerd the roarin’ win’ an’ saw the snow gust whirl; But the brook beneath the snow an’ ice i danced, singin’ like a girl. I’d put my •ar down to the ice, I didn’ mln’ tlie col’, An’ w en I heerd Its music there wuz summer in my soul! An’ w’en dad 11 ked me, an’ my heart ’ud bile an’ overflow, 1 would go an’ hear the music of the brook be- ! ueath the snow. An’ then my sobs 'ud change to shouts, an’ ! sorrer change to glee. For it strewed along its music from the moun- ! tain to the sea; An’ I d str< tch my ear to hear it, an’ my heart j ud swell an' glow, W’en 1 listened to the music of the brook be- I neath the snow. Si’ ce then the wintry blasts of life have blown ' me h< re an’ there, Au’ snow-storms they have blocked my way an'h dged me everywhere; But sheltered from the h. rrycanc, within the valley low, I lissen for the music of the brook beneath the snow. For I know beneath the snow an’ ice that there is goldi n sand. By that g orious streak uv melody that ; wiggles thi-nigh 11 eland; The storm beats I aid; the wind is high; I cannot hear it b ow. For I lissen to the music of the brook beneath the scow. —S. W. Fess in Yankee Blade. Advertitse in the Independent,

i r I A Practical Astronomy Besson. I One chilly evening the sitting-room | in which mv pupils ami I sal was warmrd bv a grate lire. Shaking out ! some small live coals. 1 hade the boys | observe which of them turned black i soonest. Thev were quick to see that । tne smallest did. but they were unable ' to tell why. They were reminded of the rule they had' committed to paper, but to no purpose, until 1 br ke a large < lowing coal into a score of fragments which became black almost at once. Then one of litem cried, ‘ hy, smashing that coal gave it more surface,” This voting fellow was studying the elements of astronomy at . school, so 1 had him give, us some account oi how the planets ditl'er from one another in size; how the moon compares with the ! earth in mass, and how vastly larger i than any of its worlds is the sun. Ex- ; plaining to him the theory of the solar ' L system’s fiery origin, 1 shall not soon ' forget his keen delight—in which the I others present shared —when it burst | upon him that because the moon is I much smaller than the earth it must be much colder; that, indeed, it is like i a small cinder compared with a large I one. It was easy to'advance from this • to understanding why Jupiter, with eleven times the diameter of the earth, still glows faintly in the sky; and then to note that, the sun pours out ils wealth of heat and light because the I immensity of its bulk has. comparative- ; )y speaking, so little surface to radiate 1 from. — Popular Seme Month y.

From the remolest times men saluted the sun, moon, ami stars by kissing the hand. Fire has been worshiped as a divinity. The Platonists confounded it with the ’ heavens and considered it as the divine intelligence. Baltimore’s last bank failure was in 1837 -fifty-three years ago. No city | in the country has such ‘ a record as that. The pumicestone was a writing ma- | terial of the ancients; they used it Io smooth the roughness of the parchment or to sharpen their reeds. The speech of (Haudins, engraved on plates of bronze, is yet preserved in the town-hall of Lyons, France. It was discovered in 1528 on the heights of St. Sebastian above the town. The most ancient mode of writing was on bricks, tiles, and ch ster-dieHs and on tables of stone; afterward on plates of various materials, on ivorv. on barks of trees, on leaves of trees. Ere the invention of recording events by writing, trees were planted, rude altars erected, or heaps of stone to serve as memorials of past events. Hercules probably could not write when he fixed his famous pillars. Among historic rings is one sai l to be Shakspeare’s signet. Upon tne seal, entwined with a trim-lover s knot, are the initials W.

At this time there was not in California any vehicle except a rude California cart; the wheels were without tins, ami were made by felling an oak tree and hewing il down till it made a solid wheel nearly a foot thick on the rim and a little larger where the axle went through. Tne hole for the axle would be eight or nine inches in diameter, but a few years’ use would increase it to a foot. To make the hole, an auger, gouge, or chisel was sometimes used, but the principal tool was an ax. A small tree required but little hewing ami shaping to answer for an axle. These carts were always draw a by oxen, the yoke being lashed with ; rawhide to the horns. To lubricate i the axles they used soap (that is one thing the Mexicans could make), carrying along for - the purpose a big pail of thick soapsuds which was constantly put in the box or hole; but you could generally tell when a California cart ; was coming half a mile away by the I squeaking. 1 have seen the families of i the wealthiest people go long distances at the rate of thirty miles or more a day, visiting in one of these clumsy two-wheeled vehicles. They had a little framework around it made of round sticks, and a bullock hide was put in for a floor or bottom. Sometimes the better class would have a little calico for curtains and cover. There was no such thing as a spoked I wheel in use then. — G neral Bidwell in । Century.

—— > i !.«<>k al the < lock.” j For a boy’s nmtto Edison recommends “Never look at the clock.” There is a world of meaning in the sententious sentence, and it could have been uttered by no one less an observer and philosopher than the great inventor. Success is not attained by doing what one must do, but bv doing what one ought to do. The young man who delays entering upon the performance of Lis dulies until the last minute, as though they formed a disagreeable task, and who is anxious to drop them the instant ho is privileged to by the slate of the clock does not stand in the line of promotion. He is no better than the machine that is replaced by the latter improvement. It is the one who not only keeps abreast of his work but forges ahead of it that attracts the approving eye of his employer at.d is kept in mind for higher duties and better pay. “Never look nt the clock” should be the motto of every young man who has a fortune to make or fame to win. -SSoutli Bond Sunday News. Had His Nose Bulled. The only ollicial from the white house who ever had his nose pulled in the capitol was a son of President Adams. The incident is narrated in the Washington 'lilctiraph, a newspaper which was published at the time j and advocated tiie election of Gen. Jackson. It seems that young John I J Adams was a rather imperious, seifj conceited sort of fellow, possessed, ( however, of a great deal more than ordinary ability; and that he insulted I a man namui Jarvis at one of the j while house receptions. Jarvis sent a j note challenging the young mail,• tint j he deciim 1 lo pay any attention to it. f About a month later, when John Adams went to the capitol to deliver I i messages from the president to each I I house of congress, alter having deliv- | ! cred that which was addressed to the I I speaker of the house, as he was going , 1 ti rough the rotunda to the senate he | was overtaken l>v Mr. Jan is, who i pulled his noso and slapped his face.

Black Milk. Robert Hansborough of the firm of j towley, Hansborough & Co., leather dealers, of Chillicothe, ()., is the possessoi- of a natural curiosity in the shape of a cow which gives black ’"Ok. She is on Mr. llansborough’s niodel farm, situated a few miles out of town, and can be seen at any lime grazing in his pasture, and at milking time her singular yield will be shown n "y one ilesiring to behold it. Os mixed breed, Jersey and Durham, "ith a strain of Ayrshire, she was c Mved on the farm and was the second I’orn to her mother, whose milk preS'ented no peculiarity ami whose first (>!l lf, a heifer, too, still gives an abundance of natural tinted milk. Mollie, as she is called, is a prottv little cow, with nothing unusual in her I "ppearanee, and lias borne already live young, which have thriven well on her 1 black milk. It produces a fair amount °f cream, which is a trille lighter in color, and which, when churned, makes butter resembling coal tar, but M palatable as though of golden vello|tv. Mr. Hansborough says that at first tljl’V were afraid to drink or use her ' ""y "’W- "‘it. overcoming A it prejudice, now enjoy it as any ot>er. He has received numbers of oilers for her, both from the proprietors of museums and stockmen, but declined them from hope*; that she will yet transmit her peculiarity to some of her progeny. Chemists in R'chmond and Washington have analtzed the milk, j both fresh and when imide into butter, ' f but declare that thev eaM detect noth- I ; ing to account for its sable color, but [ attribute it to some unique colorm ,r pigment in the corpuscles of her blooiL a great reputation for awhile.

THE FIGURE “9.” The figure 9 in our dates will make a long stay. No man or woman now living will ever date a document without using the figure 9. It stands in the third place in 1890, where it will remain ten years and then move up to second place in 1900, where it will rest for one hundred years. There is another ‘ 9” which lias also come to stay. I It is unlike the figure 9 in our dates in the respect that it has already moved up to first place, where it will permanently remain. It is called the “No. 9” High Ann Wheeler & Wilson Sewing Machine. The “No. 9” was endorsed for first place by the experts of Europe at the Paris Exposition of 18S9, where, after a scvereccntest with the leading machines of the world, it was awarded the only Grand Prize given to family sewing machines, all others on xhibit having received lower awards of gold medals, etc. The French Government also recognized its superiority by the decoration of Mr. Nathaniel Wheeler.
