Atlanta, Georgia, is the great
mule market of the Houth. Thus
far this season, 27,000 of these
animals have been loaded and un-
loaded from tho trains in that city,
while the total receipts by all man-
ner of conveyance have aggrega-
ted 88,000 head. The average
price paid has been $120.
Jkeseys.—Tho popular notion,
and It Seems to bo only a notion, is
that the Jorseys is a delicate ani.
mal, unable to endure tho rigors of
winter as well as cattlo of other
breeds, yet they have ropoatcdly
proved their hardiness by 'rough-
ing it* side by side with native
cattle which are supposed to bo
more rugged and enduring.
A calf stood on the Naugatuck
railroad track a fow days ago, and
thus stopped an approaching train.
This action saved tho life of a
drunken man who was lying on
the track a few yards beyond.
Such cases of one bruto helping
another are becoming common.
But it is to be feared that the
drunken man would not have none
so much for the calf.
Some idea of the4magnitude of
tho business of raising sweet-scen-
ted flowers for their perfume alone
may bo gatherod from tho fact that
Europe and British India consume
about 150,000 gallons of handker-
chief perfumes yearly. There is
one great perfume distillery at
Cannes, in France, which uses
nearly 100,000 pounds of acacia
flowers, 140,000 pounds of rare
flower leaves, 32,000 pounds of jas-
a mine blossoms, 20,000 pounds of
tuberose blossoms, and an immense
quantity of other material.
Tho rubber industry of the Uni
ted States has no rival in foreign
countries. There is something
like $75,000,000 invested in tho
business of manufacturing rubber
goods, $30,000,000 of which is con-
fined to the rubber boot and shoo
industry. Tho total number of
employes is fixed at 15,000, anfd the
total number of factories at 120.
According to a recent census bulle-
tin, tho value oi the annual pro-
duct is $250,000,000. Some 30,000
tons of raw rubber aro imported
every year, which, when combined
with other materials in manufac-
turing, amount to 300,000 tons.
To Keep Butter Sweet.—It is
the easiest thing in tho world.
Simply put it in clean jars and
cover with a strong brine. This
will keep your butter a year, fresh
and sweet as we know by exper-
ience. It is almost equally good
to put in oak caskets, headed tight.
This is equivalent to canning fruit.
The brine in case of tho jar acts as
» heading, keeping the air out.
Butter should bo made well; we
never experimented on poor but-
ter. Work out the butter milk un-
til you have only pure "beads"
clean as rainwater; but do not
work so much as to break the grain,
in which caso you have a tough,
heavy article in Winter, and grease
in Summer. Such butter wo advise
no one to try to preserve.
A correspondent of the Boston
Advertiser explains tho moaning
of the new movement
of what arc called "Christian
Scientists," who havo been con-
founded with the Spiritualists and
Mesmerists. The writer says:
"Christian science, properly so
called, embraces all questions relat-
ing to tho perfection of tho health
and morals of mankind. Tho Chris-
tian Scientists arc a thoroughly or-
ganized body, having a chartered
church and college whore tho re-
ligious and romedial bearings of
Christian science are systematical-
ly taught. The board distinction
between this systom and thoso of
spiritual meditunship and animal
magnetism, as practiced by the late
Drs. Quimcy and Munroe, Profs.
Carpenter, Cadwcll and others, is
in this, that Christian science is
essentially metaphysical and spir-
itual, while those other methods
j*ro wholly physical und material
in character. The discoverer ami
founder of the system and practice
of Christian seienoo is Mrs. Mary

The world U wide ; if you want
to be somebpdy "pitch in." The
brave always have friends. Wher*
others have gone vot can go. If
the old tracks don't suit, make a
new one; somebody will walk in it.
Success is never pbtaioed in a
country like this without an effort,
if you fail once, try it again; if
you fall down, got up agafirj if it
is dark strike a light; if yoli are in
the shade movo around, for if
there is shade on one side, there
must be sunshine on jthe other. It
takes longer to skin an el^eani
than a mouse, but then its worth
exceedingly more. Never be can:
tont with simply doing what an-
other has done—excel him. De-
serve succoss and it will come.
Take time; don't hurry too fast,
(rto slow, especially till yon know
the r^ad or become acquainted
with your team. M»nd your own
bnsiness and go on minding your
own business. Yon are learning
experience. That is a good thing
teihave; it is better than gold, for
it brings a larg# premium. But
to bring a better premium tho ex-
perience must be perfect, no silver-
plated affair. Young men never
gp unnoticed who seem to be dis-
owed to be somebody in time.
" is is a queer world; many poo.
ft
plo are watching us, and help of-
ten comes when, and from wtiom
wo least expect. Confidence is
the safe in which men often depos-
it rich treasures; and as you prove
worthy so will yourreward of suc-
cess be. There is a rich reward
in success which none b*t those
who strive manfully can ever en-
i°y-
It is safe to take the time-hon-
ored advice to follow suit when in
Rome, and especially is it appro-
priate for the consular advice.
Acting on this idea the United
States consul at Nuremberg has
been devoting himself diligently
ta beer and its bearings in Bava-
ria. He discovered that the pop-
ulation of Bavaria is 5,284,678 and
the breweries number 5,482, or a
little more than one to every
thousand inhabitants. The pro-
duct of these breweries is 8,970,-
000 barrels per annum, or 260
quarts per capita of population,
and the remarkable fact about it is
that noarly the whole product is
consumed at homo, only about
seven per cent, being exported.
When one contemplates this it is
hardly possible to avoid being
struck with the vast field for ex-
pansion which lies spread out in-
vitingly before the brewing inter-
est of the United States. In spite
of the remarkable growth of malt
liquors in popular favor and the
wonderful enterprise of the great
browing establishments in extend-
ing their traffic ■ the production of
beer per capita in this country is
only 54 quarts, and our breweries
are already beginning to export
largely. More than one-twelfth
of tho Gorman populatiou in
America comes from Bavaria, and
it is hardly surprising that they
should foel little relish for the ele-
vation of a Maino leader to be the
presidential candidate of the party
to which they have so long added
solid strength.

Every housekeeper can test baking powders

Kxports from Guatemala are on
the increase, and last year were
$1,700,000 in excess of imports.
Guatemala has adopted a novel
idea for building a railroad. To
raise the necessary funds a tax of
$4 a year has been put upon every
man and woman in the Republic
who earns $96 a year—about a 4
fer cent, tax on annual incomes,
n other words, evory one who
earns $8 a month is declared a
share holder. Kach share is val-
ued at $40 and muat-be paid for in
ten years. It is estimated that
this system of per capita tax will
bring into the treasvry of the rail-
road director# the sum of $$5ft,000
per annum. On this sum the pro
posed railroad will be builti.

The now civil code of Mexico in-
cludes a divorce, divorce not hav-
ing hitherto been recognized in
Mexico. Mexico is a Koman Cath-
olic country," and divorcc is cot
sanctioned by tho church; but, as
the church has been completely
separated from the state, and only
civil marriage is recognized, it is
a logical consequence that divorce
should have a placo in the statutes.
The divorce law defines that a di-
vorce shall not absolutely annul
the marriage tie, but shall sus-
pend some of its features; it pro- ,
vides for separation, alimony and
care ol children.
Whe Is Mrs; Wlnelow r
As this question is frequently asked, we
will simply say that she is a lady for who up-
wards of thirty years has untiringly devoted
her time and talents as a female physician anil
nurse, principally among children. She has
especially studied the constitution and wants
of this numerous class, and, as a result of thif
effort, and practical knowledge, obtained in a
lifetime spent as a nurse and physician, sho
has compounded a Swthing .Svrup for chil-
drmWhinr. It opcratos like rongio—giv-
ing rest and miolth, and is moreover, sure to
regulate the bowels. In consequence of this
article, Mrs. Winslow is brooming world-re
nowned as a beefaetor of her race; children
Certainly do rise up and bless her'; especially
is this the case in this efty. Vast quantities
of the Soothing Syrup are dailv sold And
used here. We think Mrs. Winslow lias itns
mortalized her name by this valuable article,
and we sincerely believe thousands of chil-
dren have been saved front ait early grave
by its timely use, and that millions vet un-
born will share its benefits, and unite in eil-
ling her blessed. No Mother has discharged
her duty to her suffering little one, in our
opinion,' until she is given it.tho benelllot
