' , Dyereburs Gazette. '---, i One of the certainties about a mule is that he, is sure V footed, especially with his hindTet t. He ' never miss places them. J If , he - advertises that hiS feet, will be at a certain spot at a certain time with a sample of mule shoe3 to which f he would call your attention, you will always find them there at the appointed time. "He is as reliable;as the; "day of judgment, and he never cancels an' engagemeiit; Every man now living who drove a mule team during the war draws a pension. I have owned a good many mules. I wag near buying one onqe. His ears stood up like side spires n an Episcopal church. His tail w is trimmed down so that it looked like a tar brush leaning against him. pe was striped off like the American flag, and Raphael's cherubs never looked more angelic than did that mule. He looked all innocence, though- he was not in no sense. The owner sat in his wagon with his chin resting on his hand, and his elbow resting on his knee. In the y other hand he held a stick with a brad on the-end of it, I examined the mule and asked the man a few questions." and out of mere form asked if the mule was kind or ever kicked. 'Kind? Kick?" said the man, and these were the last words that he 'ev er uttered. He reached the stick over the front of the wagon and stuck the brad into that mule. It was aw ful to see a man snuffed out so quick ly as he was. It almost took my breath he went so suddenly. I never saw the thread of life snap so ab ruptly as it did on that occasion. He didn't have time to send a mes sage to his family. That mule sim ply ducked head and then a pair of neeis new out Demna:.xnere was a crash, a flying of splinters, and that was all, and; the next, moment ithat mule and I stood alone, my face covered with astonishment two Feet deep and his covered with part of an old bridle. The next day I read an account in the telegraphic news of a shower 01 flesh in Kentuckv. I was the only mail that could explain that phenomenon and I did not dare to lest I should be implicated in the affair with the other mule. I have seen death in many forms, but don't recollect of ever seeing a funeral got ten up with less pomp and display than on this occasion. If I had any choice to work in a nitro glycerine factorv or take care of a mule. I should go for the factory, as, in case of an explosion, thrre would be more possibility of mends finding some little memehtdes of me with which to assuage their grief. A very small piece of me would lighten a very big sorrow. . ; ' Sunflowers for Fnel." A correspondent of the Dakota Farmer, after having ' tried "turf,'' coal, wood and sunflowers, has set tled upon the last named as the cheap est and best fuel for treeless Dakota. He says: "I grow one acre every year, ana nave plenty ot tuel tor one stove the whole year round, and use some in the other stove besides. I plant them in hills the same as corn (only, three seeds to the hill), and cul tivate the same as corn. I cut them when the leader or top flower is ripe. let them lay on the ground two or three days. In that time I cut off all the seed heads, which are put into an i open shed with a floor to it, the same as a corn crib. The stalks are then hauled home and packed in a com mon shed with a good roof on lit. When cut in the right time the stalks, when dry, are hard as oak, and make a good hot fire, while the seed heads,' with the seeds in, maee a better nre than the best hard coal. ; The seed being very rich in oil, will burn bet ter? and 4 longer, bushel f or: bushel, Ian Ihard coal.. The c t- sun- flower is very hard on land. .The piece of ground selected to- plant : on should be highly enriched with ma nures. In the great steppe3 (prairie) region in the interior of Russia and Tartary, where the winters are more nevere than here1 in Dakota, the sun flowers are, and have been for cen turies past, the only kind of fuel used." Rot Trusting? too Mncli in Provi- New York TidblL' t. - r ) . - A storm was raging on one of the in land lakes and several persons from a wrecked vessel were making for the shore in a small boat. The waves threatened to p verwhe the little craft when all of a Sudden a gree t,1 strong, muscular fellow dropped his oars and commenced to pray. - "Hold on!" shourted one of the men : let that liN tie fellow in the bow pray. You keep on rowing. 31 Woman's Vast Field. .Female employment now plays, says the London Times, a very im portant part in English industry, and it is interesting to note the number of persons thus engaged and the vari ety of their occupations. But, less the figures connected with this sut ject, and 'appearing in the census re- jurns for 1871 and 1881. should ap pear to be misleading, we must indi cate, the differences which have been ,made in enumeration. J or example, in 1871 there wear .'7.642,000 females assigned to various ciassinea occupations, whereas in 188 J., with a greatly increased popu lation, the whole number given , was only 3,304,000. This, is to the fact that in the former year there were included under various heads no fewer than 4,364,000 females who no longer appear as : being . engaged in labor on their own account. There were in England and Wales 3, 83, 000, wives and others engaged in household duties ; 388,000 wives ass sisted their husbands in divers occu pationsand 92,000 wives, daughters and nieces of farmers, who figured in the agricultural class. After deduct ing these there has been a great in crjkse in the past ten years in the number of females engaged in vari- ous industries while some entirely new classes of female labor has been created k In the civil service there are 3,216 female officers and clerks, while the municipal and other local authorities furnish, employment for 3,017. ; There are 1,60 y women en gaged , as missionaries, Scripture rsaders and itinerant preachers, and 3,795 appear as nans and sisters of charity. .. v .. There are 100 law clerks, 2,646 mid wives and 35,175 engaged in subordis nate medical service, nures, assis tants, etc. In the . profession of teacher females have increased enor mously, the schoolmistresses mim ber 94,221, and teachers, professors and lecturers, 28,605. There is thus an army of 122,846 Women engaged in educational s work. . . Female musicians and music mis-, tresses number 11,376 ; inn or hotel servants, 26,487, and domestic ser vants, 1,230,406. In hospitals and institutions there were by the last returns, 14,528 females engaged; in wash houses and baths, 176,670,. and as charwoman, 92,474. Some- items will caue considerable astonishment. For instance there were no. fewer 5,989 females engaged as commercial clerks, 171 as "pointsmen" at level crossings, and 4,179 as "warehouse men." .- ; ' " y There were 2,228 females employed in the telegraph and telephone ser vices, 20, 614 farmers and graziers, and -40.346 engaged in agricultural "employmehy yFemaletkbiMera numbered 10,592, exceeding the men. There were 1,233 toymakers and dealers, 2,074 needle-makers, and 2, 503 steel-pen - manufacturers. It is not a little curious that there were . 1,388 women engaged in various ram ifications of the building trade, while 2,035 were engaged as harness and whipmakers. iln the artificial flower business there were 4,461 females, 1,887 were in the match and firework trade, and 8,578 in the tobacco trade. There were ; 32,809 female . lodging-house keepers, 12,728 in hotel and public house service, and 3,728 in the beer and cider manufacture. Thsre were also 7,633 female bankers, 13,051 pas try cooks, 6,855. green i grocers, and 26, 422 ordinary, ? grocers. . In the woolen cloth manufacture the females numbered, 8,501 ; in" the making of worsted stuffs, 63,801 ; " in the silk goods 'manufacture, 39,694, and in the cotton goods manufacture, 302,-367-in the three last named indus tries greatly exceeding the males em ployed. ; :u-:v:.; k : A considerable number of women were employed in connection with the flax, lace and fustian : manufac tures. Of workers and dealers ' in dress there 'were no fewer than 616, 425. Female furriers numbered 3,645 ; brush and broom-makers, y 4,185; japanners, 1, 539 ; cane ; workers, etc. , 2,525 ; l wood turners and box-makers, 2,595; paper-makers, : 8,277; papers box makers, etc., 8,718; coal miners, 3,099 ; lead miners, 1,903 ; brick and tile-makers, 2,738; earthenware and glass manufacturers, 21,490.: There were 25,722 women shop keepers, 17,660 costermongers, etci, 1,278 pawnbrokers, . and 1,403 : rag gatherers and dealers. - Engaged as mechanics or laborers, but not fur ther. specifiedr there were 17,769 wo men, fewmle considerable numbers were employed in the apparently un feminine occupations of nail and tin making, metal burnishing, bolt, nut, rivet and screw making. Altogether, a large percentage of the female pops ulation. oL.tha country: jvere,engagea in some kind of active employment, : Teiitiiate Yonr Closets. Sanitarium. . , - Soiled undergarments or the wash clothes ought , not to be put into a closet, ventilated or not ventilated. They should be .placed in a large bag for" the 1 purpose, or a roomy basket, and then put in a well-aired 5 room, at some distance : from the family. Having thus excluded! one of the fertile source of bad odors in closets, the next point is to see that the clos ets are properly Ventilated: It mats ters not how clean the clothing in the closet may be, if theres no ventila tion that clothing will not be what it should be. Any garment after being worn for a while, will absorb more or less o the exhalations: which - arise from.the; body, .and thus l contain an amount of ioreign it may be' hurt-, ful matter., which free circulation Of pure air can soon remove. - ' ,. : 1 .. ,-. i f, - , . ..' !
