Operate on Your Dogs.

NJ. Terrier, French veterinary
surgeon, has invented an operation
on pugs and poodles that is destin-
ed to be very popular, writes an
ingenious Paris correspondent. 1t
consists of Transforming the tails of
the dear creatures into handles, by
which their lovely nistresses may
lift them from the carpet more
easily. The hair is first shaved
from a small area along the spinal
column, just behind the fore-shoul-
ders. The tip of the tail is then
shaved and scarified, and the skin
exfoliated for the distance of about
two centimetres. Next, a shallow
cross incision of the scarified spinal
area is made, the skin raised gently
with the handle of the scalpel, the
tip inserted in the opening, and the
patient encircled with an elastic
cincture and bandage, which retain
the parts in position. 1t requires
from four to seven days, depending
upon the dogs age, to obtain per
feet union.-T-D.

An Hour in q Base Ball Factory.

1.-THE base ball manufacturing
business has had rapid but pros
porous growth" said a manufact-
urer recently. ut is confined to a
few men, and probably will not be
encroached upon by spectators.
There are in the United States to-
day only eight factories Of any i'm
portance, and yet these are entirely
sufficient to supply all the balls
that are wanted in this country.
"Recently there has been a sort
of a boom in the ball market. This
is caused by the adoption by cloth.
ing houses throughout the country
of the custom of giving to juvenile
purchasers base balls as presents.
The balls are of different grades
and prices. The kind that are
given away are, of course, cheap,
but quite durable. Perhaps you
would like to see how base balls
are made. Follow me and l will
show you the whole process.
On the upper floor of the estab-
lishment sat several men with bas-
kets of dampened chamois and
buckskin clippings at their sides.
Before each workman stood stout
piece of joist, in the end of which
was inserted a mould, hemisphere.
cal in shape, in which the balls are
formed. Taking a handful Of the
cuttings from the basket, the work
man pressed them together in his
hands and then wound about the
mass a few yards of strong wooler
yarn. Placing the embryo ball ir
the mould he pounds it into shape
with a heavy fat mallet, and ther
: wound on more yarn and gave th'
ball another pounding.
After taking its weight on a pai
of scales and its diameter with
! tape measure he threw the ball int
o basket and began another. Whel

MR. WELLS OF RICHLAND.

Mr.. Wells whose front name is
Capt. H. P. was elected to the pres
ent legislature and at once doomed
into prominence. His first motto
able performance was his opposi-
ton to the bill to appropriate $780,
OyOfor tie overlooked sufferers. He
took the occasion to say that as Tar
as the overlooked people in his
country were concerned, he had
but little sympathy for them, be-
cause they don't make an effort to
help themselves. Richland parish
was badly overlooked this year, the
water being higher than in 1882. A
tornado swept through a portion OF
the parish doing q great deal OF
damage. Then Charlton killed
about half the stock in the parish,
and finally a hailstorm added to
the damage. Gnats were on hand
as usual, and killed a good many
stock.
This is the people for whom Mr.
Wells has little sympathy. Mr.
Wells is said to have very nice
honse just south Of Delhi on the
"Macon hills. above any overflow
in which he can doubtless serenely
contemplate, the sufferings of hi
constituents. Enjoying all the
comforts of life, it is apparently
not difficult, to have little sym
pathy with the unfortunates sur
rounded by water, whose crops ore
ruined, whose stock is dying from
gnats, starvation and Charlton, ant
who in many cases, are in almos
as bad a condition as their stock
Then as usual, the Lottery ques
ton stalks boldly into the legisla
ture, and the bride takers, combin
; with the Pharisees and go for tn
Lottery. Now Mr.. Wells is a gen
tleman of well known piety. Hi
: frame tingles with indignation
when the Lottery is mentioned. H
bitterly opposes it. His voice i

paint and seeks the thick OF tn
fight, whenever the battle is waged
and yet, when a bill is Introduce

Senator Palmer, of Michigan, has
the reputation of giving the most
elaborate dinners in Washington,
and takes good deal of pride in it.
His income is large and he finds it
difficult to spend all Of his money.
He keeps one house in Detroit,
another in New York and third
in Washington, and finds satisfac-
ton in entertaining his friends.
His hobby is dogs. One pet cost
him 5000 and another 5000, which
was about $50 pound. The Sen.
ator has the finest cook in Wash
ington, a Frenchman named Emile,
to whom he pays $500 a year fol-
baking his griddle-cakes, and he
has another man, at wages of $50 a
month, who does nothing but look
after the dogs.

never been doubted, and who is fully de-
serving of the lovely bride ami helpmate be

bride is a handsome young lady, well
known in Seialia, aud will doubtless
make a loving, dutIful wife.
They have known each ether
for a number of years having grown up to-

of friendship which existed between them
In their younger days, should ripen into
love and finally, m ,rriags, as they reached
maturity Bo'h are to be con ratulated
upon their choice.
After the wsdding ceremony the happy

ROBBERY.
VIM. Barrett's East Sedalia Resi-
dence Receives a Visit From
Midnight Providers.

The residence of WIN. Barrett, on The
cor er of Fourth and Brown streets, was
entered by burglars some time during Wed
nesdsy night AID s93 in money and q
watch taken thereirom, 1t is NOT definitely
known st what hour the robbery was com
m tied, but it is thought to have been early
in the morning as one
of the members was awakened
by noise at that time, and from the way
the burglary was committed il is thought
to have been the work of syme one who
was thoroughly acquainted with the
premises and who knew that Mr.. Barrett
had the money.
The watch had been left on the bureau
but the money was in BAriett's pants pc cket
Nothing else was disturbed and il seems
that the money was all the thieves were sf.
ter Mr.. Barrett found his pants out in
the back yard yesterday morning. An eo-
trance was ,ffected through SIDE window
The police have been Informed OF the rob.
berry but as there is no clue for them tc
work upon, the robbers will probably not
be captured.

Robbery at Adrian.

A tramp effected an entrance to several
stores in the lit. lie village of Adrsin on the
morning of the 9th, and secured money
and goods to the amount of Sl25. While
packing his stolen goods in a valise the
thief was surprised by gentleman who
came in on the early morning train, and
dropping his valise skipped out. He
was closely followed by officers ard arrest
ei at Jacksonville. The authorities OF
Bates county were telegraphed at once,
and an officer was sent for the thief, but
from some cause, probably an irreeularity
in the papers, the Hsrr SON county of6ci-
ais refused to deliver the prisoner. This
error was soon rectifed, however,
but the Bates county official was compelled
TO make a second trip after bis prisoner.
The enterprising thief upon being brought
back to Adrsin, waived q preliminary ex-
animation and was held In the sum OF
$500 to await the action of the grand jury.
In default OF bond he was committed to
Jail.
