The election of yesterday 10 q
straw that shows which way the
political wind blows In this Sec
ton. The Democrats made no
special efforts to win. On the con-
trary, we have never seen time
when so little Of the 'mschine'
was visible at the polls. The result
lie largely traceable to . circum.
stance which ought not to pass I'M
observed, VIZ, the action of our
fellow citizens of German birth, a
large prepond erance OF whom have
hitherto been Republican in poll
tics. In local matters the Repub-
cans can no longer depend upon
the allegiance OF the Germans, who
see with disgust disposition upon
the part of the Republicans to re-
sort to Sunday and sumptuary
laws. They know that whenever
this party gets the power they will
exercise it in that direction, and
however much q certain element
Of the Republican party may de-
sire to control their neighbors the
Germans are determined not to aid
in welding their own letters. This
liberalization Of theirs has reduced
the Republican majority in Wis
consin to next to nothing, it often
insures such strong Republican
cities as Cincinnati and Chicago to
the Dem ocrats, and 1t will heresf-
ter have marked influence in the
politics of both Los Angeles city
and county. The existence OF
slavery bad much to do with maxi

That issue having been disposed of

tendency having been developed
In the Republican party in the per-
sons of the advocates of o third

vote hereafter according to their
personal predictions. 1t would
not surprise close observer II the
Republican party were to suf1ei
heavily through the detection Of
this important element of theil
strength both In the country al

Of France, and much of the best
work of Bouguereau, Odinot and

finding its way to this country,
while the galleries of the world
are being ransaoked for antique
works of art. There IL one special
~ commehdable feature about this
fsrvor for art, in addition to graft
flying their owners, every fine pic
ture or piece of statuary brought
into the country Is permanent
benefit, helping to form the taste
Of our people and giving higher

our artists. They often find their
way into public galleries as be-

kept in private hands disposition
IL growing upon the part of collec.

Of art to assist charitable and re.

I'm North Carolina town, lately,
two men were disputing about the rela-
tive merits of the salve they had for
sale. One of them, in order to demon
strate that his salve was better than any
other, cut off dogs tail and applied a
little of the salve to the stump, and, in
the presence of the spectators, new
tail grew out. But the other man, who
also had salve for sale, took up the piece
of tail that had been cast away, put a
little salve at the end of that, a new dog
grew out, and the last heard of those
parties they were quarrelipg as to who
owned the second dog.

The Careful Druggist.

WE'RE always hearing about careless
druggists. We mover hear of the care
full druggist. Let US tell of him. The
other day Mr.. Gallagher went into DIR.
Stops drugstore and asked for arsenic
He said he wanted it to poison dog.
The doctor noticed the look of gloom
and savage determination upon Gala
gher's countenance. But he was a
wise man, and said nothing. He gave
Gallagher . package and the latter
went home. Arriving there, he put q
dose of the powder given him into a
lot of meat, and then inveigled his
neighbor's dog into his barn and fed
the meat Gu JIfe anIu1aI. tt was greed
lily devoured, and then the dog trotted
home and Gallagher went into the
house, satisfied that he had settled the
animal. Next morning the dog was
out in Gallagher's yard upsetting. the
swill barrel, chasing the hens, and
making trouble, as usual Gallagher
concluded he hadn't given the brute
enough arsenic, and SO the canine got
another big dose. He was round again
in the afternoon, apparently pretty
healthy, and Gallagher concluded that
it took a heap of poison to kill that
dog. Three times more he tried the
poison. each time increasing the dose
and using fresh meat, and it got SO that he
couldn't go out without finding the dog
waiting round to be poisoned some more.
Gallagher got very mad and, conclud-
ing that the poison in the meat
wouldn't work, but resolving to fix the
brute or bust, he called the dog TO him
and dumped the paper of poison down
its throat. The dry powder choked
the dog. but that was all the effect it
had. Wild with rage, Gallagher
rushed to the doctors. :" arsenic is q
poison, isn't it?n he asked. 1T isl
replied the doctor. "WeH, the stuff
you sold me won't kill anything! Why's
that?" The doctor. after a stormy in
terview, explained. Gallagher, 1 |
think | did my duty. You said YOU
the poison for dog, but you
it for yourself. l know it! l |
saw it in your eye. To save your life I |
sold you powdered chalk" "And I've |
been feeding that cursed dog for a |
week on good meat and powdered |
chalk! But FL fix you for thisr' An
officer came at last and took Gallagher
% the station, and friends bound up
he doctors wounds and swept up the
broken glass and furniture. They rep
'esented to the doctor that Gallagher
would have to pay for the damage
lone, but the doctor was incOnsolable
md swore the next time man called
or poison he'd get it, even if it was
'lain he wanted to poison whole
own with it.-Boston Post.

Poultry Houses.

THE style and finish of the buildings
intended for poultry depend much on
the purse and taste of the owner. Com
fort of the occupants should not be sac
riiced, for without being comfortable
the hens can not long remain In proht-
Avoid low or damp localities, as this
gives roup, or brings on q low state OF
health, which invites disease, or results
in leg weakness and emaciated birds,
the progeny of which will be victims OF
the gapes, pip and similar diseases. The
location should be on dry upland, gravel
" soil, and be well drained. Fowls can
endure much cold without serious injury,
providing it be dry. The floor should
not be of brick or cemented, but If sol,
id flooring be required, it may be paved
with cobble-stones, deeply imbedded IN
gravel, and loose gravel or sand scat
tered over the surface, which can be re-
moved once or twice a year and re-
placed by fresh. Over this, air-slaked
lime may be scattered literally, or
wood ashes. If coal ashes be supplied,
place them in box in one corner OF the
room. The box should be deep, that
the fowls may not scratch them out over
the floor. Fowls when confined are
fond of scratching and picking among
coal ashes. In them they find some
thing that assists in the digestion OF
their food, while also finding employ
ment.
The building should not be high or
lofty, unless two-story. Eight feet at
the peaks sufficient for all ordinary
purposes, and should gradually slope
down at the back or north end to about
four feet. Here should be the roosts.
The southern portion should be perhaps
about five feet erect, and the glass win
dows inclined from this to meet the raft
ers at the peak. This plan gives the
sun-rays directly on the ground floor,
and on sunny days creates great deal
of warmth, if the building be made air.
tight, or as nearly as can be, with
matched or battened boards, or what is
still better, lathed and plastered. This
warmth will be retained well through
out the night The advantage of low
roosts, close to the roof, is obvious. II
is good for heavy breeds as well as
light.
