BOTTOM FACTS ABOl'T Ifll LES.
The mule tho fitly animal tli.it
Noah d.du't lake into the ark with
him. 1 have looked over t ho iriirhl
list carefully, and could not cee a mule
waybilled for any place. So clear
headed A man Noah did not dare
to lake one on hoard, as he knew he
would k:uk a hole ihi'ou;h l.er in less
than a week, I don't know n man
on whose head you could pour quick
silver And run less risk of apil'ing it
orTihan on NouhV He was' a dread
ful level headed man, and before the
freshet was oyer everybody on earth
re'iliacd the fact.
The origin ot ihe mule is enveloped
in a trooddeul ol mvstery. Tradition
informs us that when theUlood had
subsided and ihe ark had landed on
Mount Ararat. Noah was very much
surprised in one ot bis first observa
tions lo find a good, healthy mule
standing on the lop ot an' unjoining
mountain', Tho samu ira'diiioii' in
forms us thai the mule is the only an
imal that lived through iliu flood oil.-
side of i ho ark.
The mule can bo Considered in a
good many ways, thoui;li the worst
dace trom which to consider him is
directly from behind, anywhere wiih
in a radius of ten tort. 1 never con
sider a mule iron) that point, unless
1 am looking out thrtnii'li ihe 11 Uu of
a boiler, ,
5vm captains and .leople who have
to do wiih m'ulfis always pay an cxiia
rate lo lite insurance companies. A I
mule and a bill ol country where yel

siand lln; same an regards tho ileal Ii

The word mule comes from the
Greek, and signiHes "to sloi ," and
the mule himsell comes (o smp also.

rise io the price of yeast. iSut when
you try to multiply mules by mules
they don1! multiply, and In nee the
word mule. Yon may surly your
arithmetic, and read iluouyli all ot
Tiiiin'a lectures, but you caniml dis
cover why this is an, any more than
yi u can why a wiuiiau cuunnt put on
a luMn-r without Icuiiing up aguuisl
sonieihing.
Tho muk has one more leg than a
inilkiutr. siool, And he can stand tut one
and wave l!ic other three round in a
many tliff'icnt directions, lie has
only three senses, hearing, seeing and
smelling, lie has no inure sense of
taste l ban a stone jug, and will eal
ftKythini! that contains niiiriment,
ami hu don't care two oeots whether
it be one per cent, or ninety-nine.
All he asks' is to pass him along bis
plate, wiih' whatever happens lo be
handy io md the pantry, and he won't
go awny and blow how poor the
steak is. He j'l.-t eats wluieyer is
set be tore him, and asks" no que
lions.
Mules are naturally deaf, tint thai
supreme wisdom ihul teaches the lit
tle boy to wipe his nose on his sleeve,
has titled 'the mule out with a pair ol
ears thai counteracts in dealness so
he can hear as readily as it person
when you don't waul him lo. I hese
cars answer a double pu'posc a
tunnels to pour Sound into his ears,
and also, as fans lo brush nny the
flies with and keep Irs head cool.
They are hung by hinges to tho hides
of his head, uml flap backward ami
forward like a pair of wet trousers on
a boy's legs. In cold latitudes quite
a tasty business is, dune in mules'
ears, The ears are cut nlfainl dried,
and sold for snow shoe,' ami then the
stubs are trimmed up and the mules
are sent south and sold for horsas. In
this way A great many flue horses
were purchased lor the army of the
United Ssiafeg.
It I wen lo have a largo picture
of innocence to hang op in my parlor,
and I did not wish lo sil for it invself.
I lli'iik I should a t a correct likeness
of a mule. There is .innocence enough
depicted in a millu's countenance lo
tit out a Sunday .School clu-s. It looks
as guileless as an anzle worm.

Once Itrouht into existence, he con

This is the most economical style of

To fuily appreciate ihe mule, one
slioiilil listen to his voice. Y.iu never
can really know whether you like a
mule or nol li'l yoj have heard hi in
si ig. 1 nftciided a mnlo conccri al
Fort Snelling. The prograinine
tipened with a soprano aolti, and then
swung into a duel, and then pranced
off into a trio, billowed up by a quur
lel, and ending with a lull chorus of
150 mules. I didn't hear ihe .thole
fh'itig, for when I came to tint regi
mental surgeon waa standing oyer me,
powerful restoratives, and I heard him
say that I mioht possioly gel out
aaiu, though I would never ben well
man again, I have been t hrinrli the
New York Stock exchange, and spent
part ol a day in a boib r factory, and
have been on ono or two Sunday
school excursions tor children, but I
never knew what iinine was till 1
heard a lot ol army mules bray.
One of the dead certainties about a
mule is that he is sure footed, especial
ly wiih his hiud feet. 1 1 o never1 mis
places ihem. , f he advertises' thai
ids feel will be al a certain spot ut a
certain time, wiih a sample of mule
shoes lo which he would cjII v'oiir in
tern ion, you will always tinii them
lln ro al the appointed time, He is
as reliable as t lie day of jinlgmni;,
and he never cancels an eug.igeiiuiit.
Every man now 'iviug who drove a
mule team during I bo war now draw
a pension, (
I never owned a inule.' I came
hear buying one once. He was tl tine
looking animal ; his cars stood uu
like the side spi es on un Episuopal
Church. His tail waa truuuied down
mi that il looked like a tar luuth
leaning up against him. He was
stuped oil' like l h; Aim ricun flag,
and Uaphacrs cherubs never looked
more angelic than did that mule. He
looked all innocence, (hough he was
in no sense, The O vner sat in the
wagon, wiih his chin testing on Ins
hand and his elbow resting on his
knee. In (he other hand hu held a
slick wiih a brad in the end of it. 1
examined the mule and asked the mun
a lew questions, and outot mere lot m
inquired it the mule was kind, or if
hu Kicked? "Kind? Kick?" said the
man, and thosH wete the last words
hu ever uttered, Hu leached his
slick over ihe trout ot ihe" wagon and
stuck Ihe brad into that mule. Ii
