A Barking Evil.

The most baleful pest the stock
raising interest of Texas has to face
is the prairie dog. An English gen.
tleman remarked, not long ago, that
prairie dogs were not useful, nor
were they strictly ornamental, and he
was just right. They have destroyed
more grass than the ordinary observ-
er has any idea of. The best pas
ture is always chosen by them as
their town site, and every one knows
how clean their streets are kept, then
their holes are very dangerous to stock
and horsemen. AS our country becomes
more thickly settled and the price of
land increases, this becomes q subject
for serions consideration. What is
needed, is united action; divided ef-
forts will be useless to eradicate this
pest. The means are within our
reach if we will only use them. Ev-
cry one at all familiar with the dog
knows that his hole goes down a steep
slant, also, that on the approach of a
stranger, the little animal darts at
once out of sight. Now he is com.
pletely at our mercy. The best agent
for their extinction is the bi-sulphide
of carbon. This drug comes in the
form of a thick, milky looking fluid !;
exposed to the air it evoporates rapid.
ly, but the vapor is heavier than the
atmospheric air and sinks to the
ground. The best mode of applying
it is to put about half an ounce on a
little piece of cotton waste, rag or pa
per and drop it into the dog hole.
The liquid vaporizes rapidly and fills
the den, but instead of rising in the
form of steam or smoke, it sinks into
every crevice and smothers the in
mates in a few seconds. Every one
has the power to clear his ranch, but
unless all work in unison, the dead
dogs will soon be replaced by others,
who will bring the dead bodies of
their relations to the surface and then
take possession. This experiment.
has been tried in our county with
the greatest success, and one gentle
man who has experimental with the
bi-sulphide, says that he will subscribe
$500 if the county will take the mat.
ter up, or if there is well organized
attempt to rid this section of the pest.

Cure for Newspaper Borrowing.

Any one who don't know of il
would be astonished to learn how
badly some of our subscribers are
worried by newspaper borrowers.
They explain that the borrower is q
good friend or neighbor, and they dis
like to tell them that borrowing the
paper.:is q nuisance. 1t is often the
case that a paper is borrowed before
they have had time to read it them.
selves. We take pleasure in giving q
remedy, which we find in an exchange,
which prescribes the following ingen-
ious mode for the treatment of such
cases:
"Let the owner cut from it some
item of news, it makes no particular
difference what, only let it be neatly
and carefully removed from the paper.
In few minutes the neighbours boy
will come after the paper; he will take
it home; within three minutes he will
emerge from the house; he will scoot
down the street and very shortly re-
turn with folded paper of the same
date as the one just borrowed. By
the time the clipped paper has circu-
lated around among the borrowers the
street will be alive with hurrying boys,
not one borrower among them know.
ing just exactly what that cut-out
item was. The next week pursue the
same course and similar results will
surely follow. In an extremely obsti-
nate neighborhood these proceedings
have to be repeated three or four
times, but not longer. By that time
the subscriber will be able to read the
paper in peace, and the newspaper
will be the gamer through several
new subscribers. The rule is said to
be infalliole where the borrowers are
females"

A Condensed Novel.

The story is one of reconciliation
of husband and wife, who, while
still living together in the eyes Of the
world, were entirely independent.
The gentleman has been very at
tentive for a long time to a we'll
known young actress, to whom he
was in the habit of frequently send
ing flowers with card bearing simply
his Christian pane of Charles.
One day stopping at florists to
whom his residence was well known
but from whom it CHANGED he had new
er ordered anything to be sent to the
young actress, he ordered handsome
plate of flowers, and writing
"Charles" on card ordered it to be
sent to "her," supposing the florist
knew whom he meant.
That particular florist, however, did
not know, and he sent the floral tri-
butte to the wife at home.
Now the wife was so much affected
by this unexpected floral offering that
she was moved to send for her hus-
band to come and take her driving,
and made herself so agreeable to him
that the old love rekindled and a
reconciliation followed which has not
since been disturbed. IN. Y. Journal.

Profanity.

Profanity is not only violation
of the decalogue, but it is ungentle-
manly. But there is some doubt as
to what exact language constitutes
this crime. A Methodist preacher
lately was asked by one of his con-
gregation, who was what is denomi-
mated as "a pillar of the church, ="
what he thought of a certain book
recently published. The minister
remarked that lit is not work tink-
ers' DAM" The pillar of the church,
shocked by the seeming profanity of
his preacher, preferred charges against
him. On the trial the minister sta
ted that "tinker's dam" was dam
made by itinerant members of tin
ware on a pewter plate to contain the
solder with which they jointed and
held together the broken parts of
wares to be mended, and that the
dam was made of a material which
invariably gives way before the job is
ended. The minister was acquitted.
Hence we have high authority in an
nouncing that to say a thing SIS not
worth tinker dam" is no profanity.

The Germantown Telegraph truth
fully says that a young man who
thinks he can lead a reckless and
profigate existence until he reaches
the middle term of life, and then re-
pent and make good, steady citizen,
is deluded. He thinks that people
are fools, destitute of memory. de
concludes that, if he repents, every
body Will forget that he was a dlssl-
pated fellow. This is not the case

deeds, and forget the good ones
Besides, it is no easy thing to break

advertisements of lotteries and other

the ruling of the Postmaster General
to exclude all such publications from
