What q Paris Dog Can Do.

until the gentleman raps ten times on
the table; at the tenth rap the terrier
losses the cake in the air and catches it
before it falls to the floor. The gentle
man then takes the third piece of cake
in his hand and says: Billy, you have
eaten two of the three pieces of cake.
There are thousands of dogs in Par

looks inquiringly at him, as much as to
ask, Have l done the genteel thing?'

Was still some loving plan
To make my darling glad.
They deemed he lacked the conquering wileS
That other children wear:

Was never auyht but fair.
They said that self was all his goal,
He knew no thorglt beyond;
To me- know. no living soul
Was half so true and fond.
All. many a love was mine ere now,
in liteS capiic Gus May.
And many a liyhtly-whispered vow
The b-eeZes bore away.
Yet. looking back on friends betrayed,
And sweethearts left to Tue.
My soul can say. " In shine or shade,
AT least he found me true"
In loves eclipse. in friendships dearth.
In grief and feud and bale.
My heat has learnt tie sacred worth

1t, just as on the rest of his land. Not

ing OF his own highways, he receives a
part OF his equivalent every time he
drives to town or city over the roads
similarly owned and kept in repair by
other farmers and property-owners,
and in a year he receives his full equiv
alent. But if the public claims the right
to use the highway as pig-pen or COW
pasture, or for any other purpose than
for travel and the necessary driving of
stock, how, can the individual farmer
get his pay for this use of his land?
Take another aspect:-In general, the
highways are now fenced. Most of the
fences are now made so as. to harbor
huge snow-drifts in windy stretches of
land, that often completely block the
highway. Has the public right to OBJ
ject to this? Has it right, as one
correspondent, himself a farmer, sug-
gests, to compel landowners to build
wire fences that will not harbor drifts?
or, to give him the right, as another
correspondent suggests, and as the New
York law actually does, today his road
fences flat each fall, rebuild in spring.
and commute, to the amount of the
actual cost, for his next years road
tax? Has it right to compel this?
But thus to level and rebuild stone-wall
or board fence would cost, in labor and
damage, ten times the annual road-tax,
and to level hedge is to destroy it.
Take still another aspect:-Suppose
all road fences removed, as our CORE
spondent suggests, and the ground
cultivated on each side to the ditch that
marks the line of actual necessary
travel: can law keep the travelling public
within those lines in muddy weather, or
will men ride and drive on the less
muddy turf of the adjoining meadows?
Or, in summer, can cattle be driven on
the highway without rushing through
the grain fields and meadows that tempt
them on either sidep
These and similar questions are doubt
less more easily asked than answered.
One thing is certain: the burden of
roadside fencing, and the waste of UNI
titled, uncropped roadside land, are
immense. They amount to millions of
dollars each year. Has the law right
to perpetuate this burden and this
waste, unless both are absolutely ne
cessities? -Ruya1 New Yorker. s. I'd.

Turning q Horn.

SEVERAL devices have been proposed
for the purpose of remedying irregulari-
ties in the symmetrical growth of cows
horns. Thinning the horn on the oppo-
site side to the direction in which it is
desired to have it bend, by careful rasp-
ing, is recommended by some; by 9TH
ers, weights of iron or lead have been
tied or fastened to horns with an up
ward tendency of growth. Again, it
has been recommended to affix to the
end of the straight or untoward horn,
and about one-third from the root of
the other horn, a thin, iron rod, to the
free ends of both, which do not quite
meet midways between the two horns,
a screw (wood-saw fashion), is applied
by means of which, by degrees, the dis
lance between the two horns may be
shortened. In the case of both horns
being straight, the rods are affixed to
the ends of both. BY rasping the horn
on the outside, and frequently oiling it,
the bending may be facilitated. The
rasping should begin about four inches,
or about one-third the length of the
horn, from its base, and need not ex-
tend more than two inches, extending
halfway around. The horn is not very
thick, and great care should be exer-
cised in the rasping, so as not to go
through the horn; for, if blood is
drawn the horn is apt to be spoiled be-
yond remedy. The shortening of the
distance between the ends of the horns
by means of this screw device must be
done carefully by attending to it once
or twicesa week. Sufficient grndually-
increasing strain mus be. exercised Oh
the straight horn; too much would be
apt to bruise the vital parts within, and
endanger detachment of the horn from
its base. If the animal should show
uneasiness by shaking the head, or
keeping it in an unusual position, ETC.,
then the strain on the horn is too Sc
we're. Attempts at regulating the di
rection OF the growth Of horns on cattle
can be carried out more or less success
fully only when they are under the age
of four years.-Natio'aal Threshold

POisOns i'm Farmers Hands.

THE great increase during the past
thirty years in the variety and number
of insects which destroy the farmers
crops has made it necessary, for pur-
poses of defense, to purchase and have
upon the, premises some very active
poisonous agents, mineral and vege-
table. Among these may be named
Paris green for destroying the potato
beetle, hellebore powder for the cur
rant worms, rose bugs, etc., and strych-
nine for crows, blackbirds, ETC., in
.cornfelds. These comprise some of
the most potent andadeadly poisons
known to science. BY far the most
dangerous is Paris green, because it has
come into such general use that it is
found in almost every farmhouse in the
country.s Now u. is Wall known prin-

sion in regard to the employment Of
this poison by farmers. Itswas Kept III

the poison and the beverage took place.
The stirrer, covered with the green
powder, was the implement nearest at

the hurry of-the moment. All these

.HumOrs OF Plagiarism.


AS A rule, says the Cincinnati Com
naercial, it is not safe to plagiarize; but
to this rule, as to most others, there
are exceptions. A minister of Western
New York had been accused of preach
ing heresy, and was brought before the
Presbytery to saceount for his ofenses:
He asked permission to deliver before
the Presbytery carefully-prepared
discourse, in which he would set forth
the doctrines he held. Permission was
given him, and at the appointed time
the sermon was delivered. At it's close
the members were called upon to pass
judgment upon it. Some denounced it,
several said it contained the rankest
heresy, others considered it orthodox,
and few wisely declined to express an
opinion. Before the final vote was
taken the sccussdaxas Rernltsn to
mske a statement He bld tliSuLthat

one of DIR. Chalmers,s, and. directed
where it could he foumdss htrenaarked
further that if they declared him her.
etc on the strength of it they must de-
clare the great Scotch divine to be one,
too. Some of the brethren then got
mad at the trick played upon them, but
all concluded that the proceedings
against the accused had better be
dropped.
Another case Of justi6able plagiarism
was that of an eminent minister who
outwitted a brother minister equally
eminent. No. !, entered the churchI0f
No. just as he was about to announce
his text. No. tried to sit near the
door, but No. 2 spied him, and invited
him to seat in the pulpit. No. l once
in the pulpit No. 2 whispered to him,
''You must preach for me this morn
ing" No. 1 said, Il came to hear you,
and am going to-" No. insisted,
and No. finally consented. So No. 2
removed his sermon from between the
leaves of the Bible, placed it on . little
shelf under the pulpit, and took seat
in the congregation to enjoy his friend s
sermon, No. l, as he rose to preach,
took the sermon from the shelf, and

The Terms g Badger'' and "Sucker. -

Iris popularity supposed that the term
Badger was applied to our people
and State because of the abundance of
these animals within our borders, but
such is not the fact. n Previous to 1S35,
there were, except 1t the military forts
and missionary and trading stations,
and in the lead mines of the southwest,
very few white people located within
the Territory. The characteristic term
of Badger arose in the lead region.
The miners were of two grades-those
who stayed all the year round, at the
diggings," and those who came up
from Illinois only to operate during the
summer season. The permanent resi-
dents, having but little time or material
to construct regular huts, were accus-
toned to burrOw into the hill-sides
semi-subterranean cells large enough
for bunking and cooking purposes. This
peculiar mode Of life, being similar to
that Of, the 1 baagef- IN Y animal then
plentiful in the lead regions s suggested
the term of "badger-holes," as applied
both to- the cave-like homes and the
sunlan shafts of Il resident miners.
while the latter themselves were termed
I" Badgers" On the other hand, the
Illinois itinerants would come up in the
spring and return in the fall, in the
same manner as the "sucker'' fishes;
being in the diggings but a short
season, they did not,sink regular shafts
and burrow under the earth alongthe
