that the usual election warning was not

however, has been arranged by local legal

usually heavy poll was made this fore
noon. For omission to issue the warning
the Republican constables are responsible.

will be only acquired by experience
and the use OF scales to weigh the stock
occasionally. With some experience
farmer can learn TO judge weights of
cattle or other farm stock away from
home, while his own may be weighed
as often as he chooses. Even if the
stock is not to be sold, it is very con-
venient for farmers to have scales, that
they may know the comparative results
OF different kinds of food.
An exchange relates how it became
necessary to close milk-condensing
establishment in its vicinity, owing to
the fact that, Notwithstanding all pre-
cautions, the milk was regularly re-
turned by the dealers as worthless. In
order TO arrive at 4 solution of the diff
Guilty, the milk supplied by each farmer
was placed in Il separate can and gives
to chemist for analysis. The latter
had lust concluded his investigation,
and reports that the milk contained in
several of the cans had been diluted
with from five TO SIX quarts Of water,
| to which a mixture OF DoraX and salt
petre had been added to conceal the
adulteraiion. II is said that the evil
dence against the guilty parties is con
elusive, and that they will be prose
cuted to the full extent of the law.

The Red Sunsets.

No recent phenomena has more puz-
zled astronomers than the remarkable
appearance of the atmosphere as OBJ
served after sunset and before sunrise
during the last five months. These
brilliant glows have been seen in all
parts of the habtable world. They
were first noticed on the 2Sth of Au-
gust, and they may still be seen, both
morning and evening, when the state
of the atmosphere is favorable. 1t is
we'll known, in fact, that on a clear
day the matter by which the appear
ance is produced may be seen around
the sun, extending to a distance OF
twenty or thirty degrees. The phe-
nomena have been ascrbed:
1. To watery vapor in the atmos-
phere.
2. To meteoric matter through which
the earth has been supposed to be pass
ing; and
g. To the volcanic eruptions of Java
and Alaska.
The first conjecture has been dis
proved by the spectroscope. The Sec
ond may be said to be rendered ex-
tremely improbable by the long con-
tinuance of the glows. The earth
crosses the meteOric streams OF August
and November in few days at most,
but the present phenomena have al
ready lasted more than five months.
The volcanic hypothesis is received
with most favor, and we must either
accept it or admit that the true expla-
nation remains to be discovered. In
the last numer of the Sidereal MeSSen-
ger, have briefly stated some objec-
tons to this theory, as follows: "No
similar results-at least to any great
extent-had been known to follow vol
canic eruptions. If the matter started
from Java on the Goth of August, its
rate of motion through the atmosphere
till its appearance in Brazil was lCG
miles an hour. Or. if we assume that
the appearance in South America was
derived from the Alaska outburst, we
have the additional improbability thai
results of character before unknown
following volcanic eruptions in oppo'
site hcmispheres at nearly the same
time. Again, what force could have
maintained this volcanic matter at 50
great an elevation during a period OF
several months?"
In short, no explanation yet offered
is free from serious difficulties. Prof.

Not long ago man stood absorbed
In thought at the counter of q news

as friend passed him he caught at
him as a drowning man catches at a

Give me a word" he exclaimed.
"Certainly,' said his friend what
kind of a word?'
"Oh, anything you can think OF. 1t
doesn't matter what. y
How would collaborate do?'
Couldn't be better. Thanks, ever
so much, and he inserted the word and
handed in the advertisement.
The next morning the frieni read:
Furniture sold on collaborated time
to parties DESTROYS Of going to coilabo-
rated housekeeping.
A Detroit paper gravely announces
in its advertising columns:
30 kcnt-An elegantly furnished
room to a gentleman already heated. y
Among the artistic advertising notices
are the following:

And never tinkle again!

How Specialists Cure Consumption.

"What do do in New York?' ech-
ocd young gentleman on an east
bound train in response to my inquiry;
IL am head clerk for specialist doc
ter of Pearl street He is doing a big
business; getting rich. He keeps ten
or twelve clerks, mostly girls, attending
to his business. His speciality is con-
sumption and kindred diseases.
How does he cureP Where do his
patients come fromp" | quc'ied.
"Oh. he never cures anybody; of
course not" replied the head clerk
with laugh. ''In fact, he don't have
any patients at all-'suckers, we call
'em, and they live all over the country:
Just between you and | and the coal
box there, I'll tell you how the game 10
worked. The first thing necessary is
the advertisements. That's my busi-
ness. We now advertise in nearly half
the papers in the United States. Our
lads" are headed in bold, black type,
Consumption. Every man or wo-
man who is afraid he or she has lung
trouble is badly scared, and finds that
we have an infallible remedy that has
cured thousands. He observes that
we offer to send two bottles with val
liable treatise free, so strong is our
faith in our remedy. He wonders how
we can afford to do it, and finally con-
cludes there is something in 1t; anyhow
il costs nothing, and he writes to us
for the two bottles. We get hundreds
of applications day. To all we return
a circular saying the bottles were ship.
ped promptly and beg to be advised OF
results. But we don't send any bottles
oil the same. That would be dead
give-away. The consumptive keeps on
waiting for them, though, goes to the
express office every day, and, as con-
sumptves WILL grows eager and also
hopeful that if he only had that medi-
cine he would get well. Pretty soon
he writes us that the medicine didn't
come, and wants to know what the
matter is. Then we get in our work.
We write nice letter, saying the bot
ties were sent, and their non-delivery
must be the fault of the express COM
pany. But he'll need half dozen bot
ties anyway, and we enclose blank
order, upon receipt OF which anu $lO
we'll ship half dozen bottles. We
bind ourselves to refund the money or
furnish more medicine if the patient
will make solemn statement that he
has not been helped by the half dozen.
Of course we never refund any money.
It's much easier to express couple OF
bottles more medicine.
But what is the medicine, anyway
"Oh, some cheap, harmless stuff,
principally croton. The doctor has it
made by the barrel in his kitchen"
"Do you get many patients-''suck-
ersP"
about one in twenty that writes for
free bottles put up money before they
get through with it. If man is a
banker or merchant. we strike for $50
