Pathos and Sentiment.

LONDON Times
There is always on the stage risk III
pathetic situations, for the ILLUSION OF
the stage" is thing much more
talked about than felt. Thus great effects
in pathos are always reached in a single
sentence, word sometimes, even a tone,
a gesture. Long speeches, protracted
situations, rarely touch the heart, partly
because the actors cannot keep them
selves for so long 10 the proper pitch,
partly because the SPECTATORS cannot keep
up their sympathy for so long for what
they know--though flash of genius
NAV make them for an instant forget
ito be but fictitious woe. Thus pathos,
no matter how beautiful its expression,
to be truly effective on the stage, to be
truly effective any where in fiction,
should always b, brief. And it should
ALWAYS be born. not made. Brevity and
naturalness are the essential qualities Of
pathos. When il lacks these two it be-
comes sentiment. The moment we be-
gin to reason about it, the moment we
begin to ask ourselves whether this
could have happened this way or that,
then we may know that pathos has left

Women who Shoot.


There has of late been 30 many deeds
of deviltry committed here that the wo-
men are taking up arms in their own de
fense. At least three attempts have
been made to burglarize Mr.. Crawfords
residence he being away from home, his
wife concluded that she must protect
herself as best she could, and according.
ly secured revolver, and on the last OF
the three attempts she used, but with
result is not known as yet. She heard
some one at WORK IN the first floor, the
noise being such as would naturally come
from an attempt to turn the key with 8
pair of nippers. She waited until she
was satisfied that burglars were there at
work and then she fred twice in rapid
succession, both bullets going through
the door. From the sudden exclams
ton and hasty exit from the yard she
thought that she must have hit some
body, but no assurance has yet been
found that such was really the case: me

KILLING POTATOES.

There is some difference of opinion as
to the merit of the level system OF cult.
waiting potatoes. The writer grew some
last year without any hilling whatever
and the crop was in every respect as good
az any proceeding crops that had been
hilled. Some writers urge level cultiva-
ton for most hoed crops, potatoes partic-
ularly. AS the potato grows best in cool,
moist weather, any method of culture
which encourages coolness and moisture
is beneficial, while on the contrary any
method which encourages dryness and
heat is injurious. n this reasoning be
correct then it must be admitted that
hilling is wrong, for it seems impossible
that any one can fail to see that land
which is hilled offers more surface to the
sun and air, and that while the hills
where the potatoes are expected to grow,
will easily dry through, the hollows be-
tween, having had all the pulverized
earth scraped of, baked so hard that the
moisture from below is rapidly conduct.
ed up to the air; thus in two ways is the
ground losing its GOODNESS and moisture
by hilling. But 30 far as potatoes are con-
cerned, great deal will depend on the
nature of the ground. In low land it is
often essential TO hill up.

later, all the preliminary steps will have

The new addition to the TOWNSHIP. At
that time. in accordance with the law on
the subject, the probate judge will pub
lish in both Benton papers a notice of
the entry Of the land in the Local land
office, requiring every claimant or
claimants OF any town lot or lots to Tile
in the Office Of the probate judge a state
ment of his or their claims within two
months from date Of the fret publication
OF such notice."
Application for lots may be made ina
Inediately after the first publication OF
this notice in all the papers published in
the town, but not before, and any time
within two months after said first publ
cation. Proof of such claim must be
made within the six months from and

Tn case there is 8 contest, the question
will be adjudicated by theprcbatejudge,
who IL entitled to the same fees rs are
allowed by Law la civil cases in justices
courts. The sggggrieved party has the
right to an appeal 70 the district court.
Every citizen Of Benton who has not
prompted lots in the old townsite has
the right TO enter two lots and as many
lots additional as he has improvements
on to the amount OF $3.50, and Judge
Ta6tan holds that married women have
the same rights. 8Lg
The plat Of the addition will be Elk
posed to the public gaze two or three
days before publication is made, SO that
parties who WANT 10 investin real estate
will have an opportunity to pick their
lots. They cannotfle upon them, how
ever, until publication Of the notice.
The probate judge will reserve ten
acres for school purposes, and we believe
the number Of blocks required will be
selected by lot Or hazard. which, it seems
to us, IS not just the proper way 10 seiect
a site OF q school house, which should be
centrally located.
After the expiration Of the two months
given for filing upon lots, the residue IN
the possession OF the probate judge, and
not taken, will, after ten days notice,
be put UP ut public auction, but
cannot be sold at 8 less sum than the ten
dollars, fixed by law.
The ten dollars to be paid for each lot
goes to the school fund, and in the agg-
gregate it will constitute quite 8 nice
starter for the new and handsome school
building to be erected in Benton next
season. The probate judges fee in each
case is four dIlars for hearing proof and
making the deed, and the recorder will
afterwards come in for 8 recording fee of
about two dollars and a half, rendering
it, in printers parianee, q pretty fat take
for the officers. Even the treasurer
comes in for a small slice, as he get his
per cent. on the increased funds in his
possession.
