The present trouble in Lincoln
county is the fruit Of the Indifference
heretofore manifested in that commu
nity in regard TO the enforcement OF
the criminal laws. II man charged
with murder may 90 abroad and defy
arrest, and good citizens look on with
out complain, il Is nothing renarka
ble that mau charged with burglary
should consider hin'seif { en,itled to the
same indulgence So fir as public
sentiment goes there can he no differ
ence in such cases, unless public senli
mept attaches more Importance Ia sc.
curity Of property than security oi
life. Eventually these things always
react disadynntageously, and is just
now illustrated in the case Of the good
citizens NJ l.incoln county, who few
months ago tolerated fragrant def

forts made to enforce il, and now ar'

WoNAN.--The perception of woman

tration is intuition; almost instinct.
by II glance she will draw deep and
Just conclusion. Ask her how she
formed il and she can not answer the
question. A philosopher deduces in
ference, and his differences shall be
right; but he gets to the head of the
staircase, if | may say SO, by slow de-
grees, mounting step by step. She
arrives at the head Of the staircase as
well as he; but whether she flew there
is more than she knows herself. While
she trusts her instinct she is seldom
deceived, and she is generally lost
when she begins TO reason.

DowN WITH THE RACKS. Feeding
boxes instead of racks for horses may
be made equally convenient, and pos
sess several advantages. Horses do
not naturally gather their food from
tree; why, then, should they be
compelled in winter to take it from a
rack overhead! In doing 50, every
mouthful requires the animal to as
sumo un unnatural position, which,
especially in the case of young hors.
es, is likely to interfere with the de
velopment of the muscles of the neck
and with the graceful carriage Of the
head. Not improbably the awkward
manner in which some horses thrust
thsir heads forward and upward is
due to the force of habit acquired in
feeding from rack. Moreover, there
is danger ot dust. seed. Ne, falling
into the eyes of the animals. All the
etiiuyia of the stable, tOo, the yapors

A Stocking Revival.

All through the last Inter and spring
there seems t. have b.-en a great stir
smong the stockings. They have come
cut in all sorts of colors and almost all
sorts of patterns. Here. many a time
this past spring, the dead meadows have
looked as if they were full of flowers by
reason Of the children skipping around
with their red and blue striped legs.
Even the little boys made me think of
scarlet-runners,an and the Johnny :jump-ups
were out in great variety.
Whether it was on this account or not,
do not know, but the other day the Lit
tie Schoolma'am began to talk to the
children about stockings, telling them
that in the old, old time the people wore
them made Of cloth. Up to the days of
Henry WILL, she said, they were made
out OF ordinary cloth. The kings own
were formed of yard wide taffeta, and it
was only by chance that he might OBJ
tain pair Of silk hose from Spain.
Then she read something from an old book,
which, perhaps, you may like to hear.
In fact, the children were SO delighted
with it that they begged the dear Little
Schooma'am to send it to st. Nicholas
and, if she has done so, will thank the
editors to put it in right here.
"* Henry Wits son, Edward
W., received as great present from Sir
Thomas Gresham n pair of long Spanish
silk stockings For some years longer,
silk stockings continued to be great
rarity. In the second year of Queen
Elizabeth says Stow in his Chronicle,
'her >ilkwoman, Mistress Montague, pre-
scented her majesty with a pair Of black
knit-silk stocking. for New Years gift
the which, after a few days wearing pleased
her highness so we'll that she sent for
Mistress Montague and asked her where
she had them, and if she could help her
to any more, who answered, saying: 81
made them very carefully of purpose only
for your majesty, and seeing these please
you so well, l will presently set more in
hand" "Do So" quoth the queen; "for
indeed like silk stockings so we'll. be-
cause they are pleasant, fine and delicate,
that henceforth l will wear no more cloth
stnckings."'
"And from that time to her death the
queen wore no more cloth hose, but only
silk stockings."-St. Nicholas.

BIRDS AND STEAM ENGINEs.--Ina Ger
man engineering journal writer dis.
cusses the behavior of different animals
and birds toward steam engines au.i
steam works generally. He notices the
bOldne,s, and, at the same time, dexterity
with which dogs will run about amid the
wheels of departing railway train with
out suffering the least injury, while hosts
OF workmen continually lose their lives.
On the other hand, the OK, ''proverbially
stupid ANIMAL" continues standing COM
posedly on the rails, having no idea of the
danger which threatens him, and is run
over. But birds, strange to say, have u
peculiar delight in the steam engine. 1t
has often happened that larks have built
their nests and reared their young under
the switches of u much travelled railway,
while in engine houses the swallow is a
frequent guest. In Il certain mill where
u horse power engine is humping
and humping night and day, two pairs ii
swallows have built their nests for years,
and reared their young regularly. The
winter mentions an instance Ut almost in
credible trustfalness On the part Of .wal-
loSs, pair u Which. early last wear.
