"Ho, ho!" eay a dozen feovs. "Just bring on the boy that can ran faster than Icau!" Bat, stop a moment. I don't mean that most boys, can't run I mean they cca't run far. I don't believe there as one boy in fifty, of those who may read who can run a quarter "of a mile at a good smart pace without having to blow like like a porpoise by the time -he lias made his distance. And" how many boys are there who.

can run, fast or slow, a full mile withoat stopping It hardly speaks -well for our race, does it, that almost any animal in creation that pretends to run at all can outrun any of -us Take the smallest terrier-dog you can find, that is sound and not a puppy, and try a race with him. He'll beat you badly. He'll run a third faster tlian yon can, and ten times as far, and this with legs not more than six inches long. I have a hound so active that te always runs at least seventy-five miles I stay, a day in the woods with him; for he certainly runs more than seven miles an hour, and if I am ten hours, you see he must travel about seventy-five miles of distance. And then, a good hound will sometimes follow a fox for twodiiys and nights without stopping going more than three hundred and fifty miloe, and he will do it without eating or sleeping.

Then, you may have heard how some of the runners in the South African tribes will run for long hundreds of carrying and making very few stops. I make these comparisons to show that our boys who can not run a mile without being badly winded ore very poor runners. Bnt I believe I can tell the boys something that will help them to run better. I was a pretty old boy when I first found it but the first time I tried it I ran a mile and a quarter at one dash, and I was not weary nor blown. And now I'm going to cive you the secret: Snathe through your nose! own use I keep old plug that jogs along six miles an hour, without troubling myself about At this point our poor sucessful man wearily took out his watch to see how tame was getting on, and we observed that the watch -was of a peculiar pattern rarely seen in ibis country.

"This watch," said he, "is another case in point. One of my young ambitions was to possess as good a watch as mortal man could make. I have one. I gave $600 in gold for it at a time when gold was a more expensive article than it is now. Bat, knocking about the world in sleeping cars and Mediterranean steamboats, I -was always a little anxious about my watch; and besides, the possession of so costly an article by a traveler is a temptation to robbers.

One day in Paris I noticed in a shop window this curious little watch, marked twenty- five francs. A $5 -watch was a novelty, and I bought it. I deposited my $600 time-keeper-with my banker, and it has been there ever since in an iron safe. find this little watch keeps time as well for all the ordinary purposes of life as the other, and 1 have carried it ever hince." The Successful Man said these things with what we may call a good humored despair. He made no complaint; but at the age when he ought to be in the full tide of cheerful activity he appeared to have exhausted Youth's Companion.

Some animals, such, as the dog and the fox, do open their mouths and pant while running, but they do this to cool themselves, and not- because they ran not, get air through their noses. I found once, through a sad experience with a pet that dogs must die it' the-ir nostrils become stopped.

They will breathe through the mouth only while it is forcibly held open; if left to themselves they always breathe through the So, possibly, -we are intended to "take all breath through the nose, unless necessity drives us to breathe through the month. There are many other reasons why we ought to make our noses furnish all the air to our lungs. One is, the nose is filled with a little forest of hair, which Is always kept moist, like all the inner surfaces of the nose, and particles of dust that would otherwise rush into the lungs and make trouble, are caught and kept out by this little hairy network. Then the pussnges of the nose are and smaller, and more crooked than that of the mouth, so that as it passes through 'them the air becomes warm. But these are only a few reasons why the nose ought not to be switched off and leftidle, as so many noses are, while their owners go puffing through their mouths.

All trainers of men for racing and rowing and all other athletic contests, understand this, and teach their pupils accordingly. If the boys will try this plan, thiy will soon see what a difference it will make i.i their endurance. After you have run a few rods holding you mouth tightly closed, there will come a time when it will seem as though you could rot get air enough through the nose alone; but don't give up; keep right on, mid iu a few moments you will overcome this. A practice of this method will go far to make yon the best runner iu the Thco. B.

"IVs," said he, "when I -was ten years old, I used to think that if ever I was rich enough to nave as many apples as I wanted, all the year round, I should be perfectly happy. And now!" He went on to eay that he had one of the finest on a small scale, to be found anywhere in Massachusetts, "which produced last year ninety-four barrols of apples of the best varieties yet produced. But he did not eat two apples per annum.

He could not; for while he was making Ms fortune he worked so hard and confined himself so closely as to contract a chronic weakness digestion. With all the luxuries of the world at command he was obliged: to live principally on oatmeal and milk. Later in his youth his ambition soared nbovo apples. He was beginning to get a little more money than he needed and was able occasionally to indulge in a ride.

Tbe t7se of Stanchions. A correspondent of a Canadian paper denounces the use of stanchions for fastening cattle, as cruel if not barbarous. He says: They are generally used by fanners because 'cattle, when confined in them, can be placed closer together, and they are perhaps less troublesome than other fastenings.

Universal custom, also, has a great deal to do with their nsej but this does not lessen their torture to. cattle. Anyone who has seen the repeated struggles and efforts of a cow trying to get up when fastened in stanchions ought to be convinced, he thinks, against their use. Besides, they keep the muscles and cords of the neck in a fixed position, and prevent the animal from licking which is unnatural and from moving about in the a decided relief to cattle in stalls. The most comfortable fastening, according to the writer, is a chain about the neck, with a ring attached to a post, on which it will slide and down.

This would allow the animal to raise and lower its head, to lick its body, and to- get up and down with ease. He describes a stable which is as nearly perfect aaanyhe ever saw. In it each cow is allotted a space of three feet in width for standing room. The platform which the cattle stands is four feet six inches in length, with a half inch inclination toward the gutter, which is. at the rear, to receive, the drqppings.

This is six inches deep and fourteen inches wide'. In the rear of the gutter there is a passage-way, three feet six inches wide. The feeding-rack in front of the cows is two feet six inches wide and boarded up next to the cattle two feet high, but-cut down one foot directly in front of each cow to enable the animal to lower her head and neck on a line with her body when lying down. There are no partitions between the cows, and they can readily turn their heads out of the feed-rack around to their bodies, or they can lie down lengthwise of the rack- if they choose. The cows soon learn their position in the stable, and march up to their posts to the chain around their necks.

Young man, remember Traveler. KOBEBT ATBES, one of the oldest residents of Louisville, and a man who espoused the Union cause, and was one of the four men in Jefferson County, who voted for Abraham Lincoln in I860, died on the 13th. i the time is drawing near for employing farm hands for the coming season, I thought a word at this time would not be out of place. Some have gone so far as to condemn them all because they have found stane hands that have not fulfilled that passage of Scripture that tells servants to obey their masters in all things. I' know farmers that do not deserve to he thus obeyed, for in the first place they will not employ good, honest men they are acquainted' with, for the reason, perhaps, that they ask too high wages; or, as I have known, for the reason that they have not in the past fulfilled the Scripture 'where it says: "Masters, give unto your servants that just and equal." I find by observation that those who are always find- ins fault with their hired generally hire' those good-for-nothing fellows that the honest fanner will not employ, for the same reason as given before, that they have become too well acquainted witn their habits in the past in the use of profane and vulgar language, drinking and gadding, around at night, and the morning finds them surly and cross, not fit to do a fair day's work; and often when harvest or some busy time comes will pack their duds and are off.

Every community has such fellows, and every" community has some of the aforesaid farmers. So, as the old proverb has it, let a feather flock together." My experience has been that if a man treats his hired hands fairly and does not exact too much from them, and does not work them too late, and treats them kindly, they wfll win their affections and good will, so that they will be encouraged to labor with a willing hand, and be interested in THE HOUSEHOLD. lady readers are cordially invited to contribute recipes of all kinds pertaining to practical housewifery.

I think we, as farmers, especially those of us who have small to be very careful as to who we employ, as I have known small boys who have contracted habits from hired hands that will remain with them through as profane swearing, which is one of the most useless and degrading habits that a man can be guilty I htve made it a rule not to hire a man that is guilty of such a thing, and if I heard him swear in the presence of my children, I would dismiss him immediately, for we parents will be held responsible before 1 God for how we bring up our children. And I think it behooves us to be on our guard as to the influence we throw around them, whether it be by hired hands or our own walk and conversation. A company of well-known capitalists have organized the "Gas Light Transportation Company," to mine coal and manufacture gas in Pennsylvania, and pipe the gas to eastern cities. A director of the company recently said that they propose to erect gas works that will manufacture 40,000,000 feet of gas per day. This would require 1,460,000 tons of coal annually." The coal-can be bought at the mines for 55 cents per ton, but the gas companies pay $4.62 per ton for it.

They save something by the sale of coke, tar and ammoniacal liquor, so that their coal costs them $3.14 per ton, or 32 cents a thousand cubic feet of DISSECTION. Behead malignity, and find a.

Yet it is a good thing to fall in love it the loved object be worthy, and our advice is for you to do so as soon aa yon provided it be a suitable person. Fall in love, then never marry without love. Neverdegrade yourself by marrying for a home or a husband. Be an old maid, if fortune ttrows not in your way the man of your heart; and though the witless may sneer and the jester laugh, you still have your own reward in an Approving conscience and a comparatively life.

If ensilage proves to bea healthy food, and cheaper than other fodder, the question will arise, can the Email farmer afford to build a 'silo? Small farmers usuilly keep not more than three cows.

The cost of a email tflo and the machinery to cut the fodder will cost not less than six hundred dollars; a fair estimate for repairs and interest would be say fifty dollars annually. The cost of keeping three cows six months in the usual way does not exceed twenty cents a day for each cow, sixty cents for the three, or one hundred and ten dollars and ten cents for eix months. To make the ensilage equal to hay, there must be a saving of nearly one half, or nine cents a day on each cow. This saving must be over and above the extra expense of feeding ensilage, which, it is evident to every one, is more than feeding hay, as three times the weight must be'handled, and instead of pitching it down from the mow it must be tmt out and. carried from die silo np a ladder to the barn floor, where, it must be mixed with meal and kept several hours before feeding.

If the, saving is enough to warrant small farmers in building silos, it will be a great saving to farmers who keep fifty or more cows, as the expense of the silo and machinery will be very much less to each cow, for. a large herd than a small one. The large number of silos that are being built in New England the present year is good evidence that many farmers have great faith in this new way of preserving green fodder; a. few years -will settle the question, whether or not their, gas manufactured. One great saving expected by the new company is in the cost of coal and in the transportation.

Another saving will come, they think, from the fresbnees of the coal, since coal newly mined produces more and better gas than coal that has been exposed to the air and "weather." The cost of pumping, the gas is offset by the value of the coke. The deterioration of gas in the long pipe they. expect to counterbalance by making the gas'extra rich at first. The pipe is to be of iron, six feet in diameter, laid in hydraulic cement. Wisconsin Forests.

In the forestry bulletins of Prof. Sargeant, the amount of white pine in 'Wisconsin is at 41,000,000,000 feet. The pine forest, which comprises about 22,500,000 gradually changes in character and decreases in productiveness as it reaches-northward. Lakes become more' common, and swamps of tamarack, cedar and spruce occupy a considerable portion" of its area. The pine trees are smaller and more scattered, although generally intermixed with hardwood, and the lumber they yield is of a poorer quality than further south.

The hardwood is distributed. The cedar swamps through the pine belts of the state cover an area of some 1,365,000 acres, and. are estimated to contain 62,8.0,000 posts, telegraph poles and aailroad ties, in addition to large quantities of tamarack and spruce.
