The follow in g Is a practice long fa m iliar to railw ay engineers, who hare to mess around oU. and it should serve equally well for their present day coad jutors o f the motor car: Wash the hands In warm water, ngiag a e o ft free (a tb tfln g soap. W e r t up a good tatbef and then dtp the lin gers Into a small dish of lubricating d L This w ill further emulsify with the lather already on ths hands and quickly cut the grime and dirt, leaving the bands clean and soft. Do not use too much oil, end always soap the hands before applying the oil. A fte r using this mixture be sure to let the washbowl drain and then rinse It quickly, as the o i l I f left, separates from the soap and makes a ghastly mess ou the sides. Another good w ay o f cleaning the bands a fter a dirty Job around the car Is to wash them In turpentine, rubbing It w ell Into the skin and then wiping Off thoroughly on something that can be thrown away. By doing this and finishing with warm w ater and plenty o f soap the hands may be cleansed of all traces o f the greasiest Job.—N ew York P o e t Ths Road to Thrones.

A itory Is told o f the great Irish orator, O’Connell. An attack had been made upon him In the house o f com mons. When O'Connell arose to reply hts lofty brow was black with thun der and his arm uplifted as if to strike. Then, checking himself, he said, "But the gentleman says he loves Ireland.” Low ering his tone to the rippling mur mur o f a summer brook, he continued, * 1 hare no words o f bitterness or re proach for any man who lores Ire land.” The pathos In the fragmentary utterance o f the last word brought tears to the eyes o f many veterans of the house. A Curieut Illusion. People declare that they b are seen a field o f grass gradually change color during a shower o f rain, thousands of mushrooms springing up before their eyes. This is an optical Illusion caused by the rain beating down the grass T h e mushrooms do not really spring up durmg a single shower o f rain. T h ey are there already, but hidden by the grass, and when the rain beats dow n the grass It exposes the bidden mushrooms.—London MalL The following described property: Twenty-four Head of Dairy Cattle ALL TUBERCULIN TESTED Jersey cows rs 3 years Jersey « 4 4 44 « “ 5 “ 3 7 “ 3 a a a y 44 old “ “ “ 44 44 44 5 5 yearling heifers 3 3 ten months old calves I 1 five months old calf l 1 three old full blood Holstein Horses, Hogs and Sheep I gray mare 9 years old, wt. 1350; 1 buckskin gelding 10 years old, wt. 1375; 1 buck skin gelding 13 years old, wt. 1175; 10 head sheep, 1 Poland China brood sow 3 yrs. old due to farrow Oct. 10 ; 1 Duroc and Poland China crossed one year old, due to far row Oct. 15; 3 shoats 4 months old, 3 shoats 9 months old, 10 shoats 31 months old.
