Robbed.

On Monday night the Twenty.
first Ward meat market was broken
into by some unknown person or
persons and thu till relieved Of its
contents. In forcing the till open
he or they used steel belonging to
the shop, which was found lying on
the floor broken. The robbers got
about a dollar for their trouble, Mr..
Arbuckle, the proprietor, having
taken the rest OF the money with
him. This Is the second time with.
in two weeks this kind of thing has
occurred; the first time it was kept
quiet, thinking they could discover
the thief, but did not succeed. The
till will be left open after this to
save them the trouble of breaking

Take a piece of gum camphor as

fumed to suit the taste. Wet the scalp
with this daily. 1t will stimulate the

fo, their luXuriant hair Once in every
two weeks they wash their head thor
oughly with quart of soft water. in
which handful of bran and little
white soap had been dissolved; then the
yulk of an egg, slightly beaten. is
rubbed into thSAroots of the hair; this

curling fluids are mere impositions; but
with Il weak solution of isinglass a firm

Always use the best brushes. They are

A celebrated beauty said the hair should
receive one hundred strokes day, and
they should be applied in three minutes

WHITEFISH.
The Threatened determination OF This
Valuable Species of Food.

The Threatened determination OF This
Valuable Species of Food.
Year after year of late the State Fish
Commission of Wisconsin and other
States have freely stocked the waters of
the lakes with young whiteiish. Yet
year after year the catch of whitefish
diminishes, until now the determination
of this valuable species of food is
threatened. Where do the whitefish 90
to? The answer is not far to find. Ex-
haustive experiments have been made
and have proved that the artificial
stocking of the lakes through the me-
dunn of State fish hatcheries is in itself
successful. Healthy young fish by the
millions-and more whitefish than fish
of other varieties-have been deposited
in Lake Michigan, and in spite of any add
verse natural conditions they have lived
and thriven. But experiments have
proved, too. that whitetish are excep-
tionally tender: and, unlike many other
and harder varieties. they hug close to
the shore, where the water is shallow
and warm. These shallow reaches of
the lakes from Chicago to Buffalo are
almost literally lined by trap-nets, set
by the dwell"rs along shore. In such
nets, with fish of larger size, the par
italy grown whitefish are caught
When the nets are pulled up these latte,
are taken out and-not preserved fol
food, but thrown back into the water
dead, being too small for Use. Thus
thousands upon thousands are killed
every year on almost every mile of
shore line along the lakes. Here. then.
is the reason why the food stock of deli
cate whiteiish in ahe lakes is not in
creased but rather steadily dimini he'd
year after year. There must be law
and the rigid enforcement of law pro-
hibiting the use of trap-nets or the fish
supply of the great lakes will be exter-
minated. The law to be effective must
be law by Congress also. for no State
law and no combination of laws by dit-
ferent States adjacent to the lakes can
meet the case.-NiiUaukee Wisconsin,

VICIOUS RAMS
Not Only Al Annoyance, but Positively
Dangerous to Life and Limb.

Not Only an Annoyance, but Positively
Dangerous to Life and Limb.
We are asked by correspondent what
he shall do with a vicious ram. He does
not say how vicious he is. or whether it
is natural or acquired. If he is naturally
very vicious unless he is very valuable
animal, he would SOON cease to trouble
us, if he was cross. Such animals
are not only an annoyance but they ara
positively dangerous to life and limb. A
full blow upon vital part might result
most seriously. The often adopted plan
in such cases is to hang blind upon The
head, so that the animal can not see in
front of him. and if he is very ugly, the
blind, which should be of leather, can
be drawn back and tied entirely over
his eyes. That will make him harmless
II you look out for yourself. But there
are objections to doing it, and it would
be s1cusable, as said before, only upon
the grounds of the animals great value.
Besides it would not make watchful-
ness on the part of the tlockmaster I'M
necessary.
Perhaps the animal may not be natur-
ally vicious. 1t is often the case that
they are made vicious by being teased,
or because those who attend them have
shown in their presence that they are
afraid of them. 1t will not do to show
cowardice in the rams presence. He
will soon take advantage of it. If this
ram is of this character, we should all
wise that he be shown that he il not boss
This may be done by preparing yourself
with whip when going into his presence,
and upon his attack, lash him over the
head rapidly. If he starts to run follow
him up and lash him all the time. II
you have no whip and he makes the at
tack kick him in the face as often as YOU
can before he runs. Generally this sort
of treatment will cure an animal of this
kind. If it does not and he is not of
great value. get him ready for mutton
as soon as possible. We have no
patience with vicious animal of
any kind. They are nuisance
on the farm. 1t is next to impor-
sible for everybody that has 10
do with them to be on guard againM
their attacks. Sometimes they are puf.
chased because they are cheap But
while the amount of money paid may
not be large. they are dear at any price.
And that being so, it is very unprofit-
able business to permit children or help,
as is sometimes the case. to tease ami
mails. We have seen valuable animals
ruined in this way. 1t should be a rule
everywhere that nothing should be
leased. The child certainly ought not
TO be. and a young animal should be
just as carefully guarded as the child is,
for its disposition is influenced in pre-
cisely the same way. Gentleness and
kindness and love towards both will
produce happy results as general
thing, while harshness and i'll temper
and teasing will most probably result in
spelling either child or animal. Sheep
are particularly liable to be teased by
children. While young they are harm
less, and the teasing is fun which can be
carried on without danger. When the
ram becomes old enough to take care of
himself the teasing may cease. but the
damage ia done.-Rurdt World.
