The New XlagMr* Bi Idge.
Thelnfoimal opening of the
oantalevei bridge on December
80, was a perfect success, test
lug its Sliength by running on
twenty locomotives and twenty
four cars loaded with gravel,
which extended from end to end
of the bridge on both tracks,
with no apparent defection.
Levels were taken at intervals
by a commission selected from
three hundred engineers Ten
thousand people witnessed 'he
opening, and a banquet fol
lowed.
Oil!ms Maseu Wheels.
Mr. Allen B. Smith thus re-
ports to the Farmers Review hi*
experience in oiling wheels and
other wood work: "I have,*4
wagon of which, six years ago,
the felloes shrunk so that the
tires became loose. I gave it a
good coat of hot oil, and every
year since it has bad a coat of
oil or paint, sometimes. both.
The tires ate tight yet and they
have not been set for eight or
nine years. Many farmers
think that as soon as wagon fel-
loes begin toshrink they must
g< at once to the blacksmith
shop and Ret the tire set. In-
stead of doing that which is
often a damage to the wheels,
causing them to dish, if they
will get some liuseed oil and
heat it boiling hot and
give the felloes all the oil they
can take.jt will fill them up to
their usual size and tiglited
them, and also keep out the
water. If you do not wish to
go to the trouble of mixing paint
you can heat the oil and tie a
rag to a stick and swab them
over as long as they will take
oil. A brush is more conven-
ient to use, A)ut a swab will an-
swer if you do not wish to buy
a brush. It is quite a saving of
time and money to look afier
the wood work of farm machin-
ery. Alternately wetting and
drying injures and causes the
best wood soon to decay and
loose its strength unless kept
well pain'ed. It pays to keep
a little oil on haud lo oil fork
handles, rakes, neckyokes,
whiffltiirees and any of the
small tools on the farm that are
more or less exposed."
Good Manners at Home.
More coldnebs and es,range
ment, if not absolute quurreN
and separations, grow out of a
disregard of the common ru'es
of counesy in married life than
from any other cause. The w ife
gets up and goes off to give a
direction to a servant while her
husband is in the middle of a
sentence ; if he were any other
gentleman she would at l«ast
say, excuse me a moment. The
wife come8 into the room and
the husband sits still in his
chair; if any other lady enters
be rises and offers her one. if
a guest is comiug to the house,
the lady of the house is dresfced
and at her door ready to ie<-Hive
them; if it is only her husband
she has no welcome. If a lady
is at the table as a guest, the
gentleman brings some topic of
soolsl conversation to entfertaio
her with her tea and bet r'ei; i?
the wife is the only lady be aiis
silent, or even whips a letter o
newspaper out of his pocket
and reads to himself. Madam 1
no gentleman is entitled to such
distinguished consideration as
your husband. Sir! no lady is
entitled to such deferential,
treatment as your wife. The
truth is with most of us, man-
ner is like a dress suit—put on
upon special occasions; where-
as it oogut to be like our skin,
put on from within, and never
to be taken oil while /we ate
alive. \ j- _ \ - -
Someone gives the seasona
ble advice to keep sheep dry
under foot with litter; and adds
that Mwet feet make a sheep
sad—he pines away and ceases
lo was. You caunot put rubber
boots >on liia, but you
can put litter under him.
This is more necessary than
putting them under a shed.
a sheep thinks more of his fest
than his head, and bts head
doesn't gather wool, either."
An Odd Mete of Fiuauee*.
The commercial relations be
tween El Paso, Texas, and rhe
Mexican town £1 Paso del Norte,
just across the river, threaten to
be dt8i tubed. A MexTcan do!^
lar is valued at eighty-five cents
i<| American coin. Our neigh-
bors. not liking the depreciation
of tbelr national coin, resolved
to depreciate ours. Their Boa:d
of Trade solemnly decided that
American silver dollars should
be depreciated thirty cents, or
pass current tor eighty-five cents
in Mexican silver. The Mexi-
can Board of Trade saw the fol-
ly -of their financial scheme
when it was put to the test by
one of the conductors on the
street car line that connects the
rival cities. One morning he
started from the American Bide
with a Mexican silver dollar.
On arriving on the other side he
took a drink of their native
chain-lightning whisky, price
fifteen cents. He was given an
American dollar in cbannge.
He took a drink of equally as
bad whisky on the American
side, price fifteen ceuts. and was
given a Mxican dollar in change
He repeated this at regular in-
tervals during the day, and at
night bad the same Mexican dol-
lar he started out with. It is
very likely the Board of Trade
will revise its queer system of
finatjre.*' Mexican Daper money
is at twenty five per cent, dis-
count.

Scalded Eyes.
There's a peculiar sensation
in having your eyeballs scalded
as I did at the Hot Springs, Va
Ever try it? They boil hard,
just like a couple of eggs. The
colored gentleman left me in the
balli fifteen minutes, and then
told me to cojae out. You know
how shr'veled a piece of meat
looks when it comes out of the
pot? That was my case. Then
I began to leak. I forget how
many pores there ai« in a hu-
man body, but every one of
them was a living spring. I
went to bed and worked for
three hours trying to mop the
dew ott my forehead fast
enough to keep it ftom running
into my eyes. But it was no
use.* I'd like to see some of our
able beer drinkers go through
one of these hot bat)is. How
they would spill beer when they
came out I It takes a good four
boars,sticb a balli. The actual
baili ng and dressing consumes
about an hour, and you have to
lie down for two or three hours
to cool off—Cor. New York

New Hampshire, raised 1130

Vermont merino sheep breed-
ers are becoming disgusted with
the heavy folds on the wool, and
think thev will breed them oft.
In Australia the 4^£ep owner
will have but one sheep to five
or six acres of ground. In New
Zealand an acre will carry from
five to six sheep.
Don't whip your boy wjien be
homes from school with his eyes
blacked. Yon don't know all

the other boy has got a black
eye, too."
A Massachusetts bride is
about to begin housekeeping on
eight million dollars. It takes
about that much for a young
woman these days to keep house
during the first three years of
her matrimony.
Jones asked his wife : 41 Why
is a husband like dougb ?" He
expected her to give it up, and
he was going to tell her it was
because the woman kneeds him;
but she said it was because he
was hard to get oft her bands.
To say that a procession was
three huurs in passing a given
point does not, according to the
Chicago Times, necessarily
show that it was a long proces-
sion, since the given poiut
might have been a saloon.
An Omaha belle tells us that
mush and milk sociables are
popular in her city, and adds:
'•The advantage of having mush
and milk is that you can stuff
yourself to your hearts content

A clergyman bad a favorite
and very intelligent dog. which
committed a grevious fault one
Sunday morning. Lis master,
on returning from church, "did
not beat him, but took bold of
bim most bitterly, most severe-
ly. He talked on and on for a
long time in the same serious
and reproachful strain," and the
dog was so deeply impressed
with his own total depravity
that he refused all food, pined
away and died in th* cours i of
a day or two. This story is
told in the Loudon Spectator by
the reverend gentleman himself.
The teacher Of a country pub
lie school had been absent for
several days on account of the
death of her husband. Wheu
she returned to her duties bei
pupils were so awed by the're-
membrance of her great sorrow
that none of them venluted to
address ber. Finally a meek
looking little blue-eyed girl
mastered up courage enough to
remark : "We are very sorry for
you." ,4I know you are my
dears," said the widow, tearful
ly. "Very, very sorry*" contin-
ued the sympathetic child, "and
—and we hope it won't happen
again."
