Dogs.

Among the pests of the farmer the
dog holds a high, If not the highest.
place. Not that the dog is necessarily
injurious, any more than some human
beings are. but it is the unframed,
neglected, and consequently vicious.
dogs which are a pest to the farmer, IS
it 3 the uneducatedr neglected and idle
youths who become pests of society.
A well-trained dog. kept in proper sub
lection aud under control of its owner,
may be useful in moro than ono
capacity, while its kind. docile and
friendly disposition and its wonderful
sagacity may make it an acceptable
companion. But when left to itself.
like the erring child We resd of. it u
sure to bring its owner TO shame and
grief. A Tennessee farmer who has
suffered gives some figures which might
Be duplicated in every other State
with great ease. He says that his State
possesses 500, 900 dogs that are idle,
vicious and worthless. Each Of these
dogs consumes as much food as would
make 100 pounds Of pork if fed to pigs,
which, in the aggregate, is equal to
80 900. 900 pounds of bacon annually,
worth 81, 900, 900. This is the direct
cost of them. The indirect loss con-
sists in the prevention of the keeping of
1000, 900 sheep. the yearly profit of
which would be Sc, 200. so that the
whole loss to the State by reason Of
the keeping of worthless dogs
in 4 state of ferocious savsgeness is
equal to So, 900, 900. The schools of the
State cost 5000, 900. So that the
keeping of the dogs costs three times
more than the education of the children.
The farmer might well have added to
his productive crop of figures all the
various losses and damages direct and
indirect from the sadly defective educa-
ton Of the children for which only
S3, OOO, 900 can be afforded on account
Of these dogs.
But it is bad enough, because this is
only a very small part Of the whole
damage which is inflicted upon the
public by worthless dogs, or rather
through the criminal neglect Of the
owners of them. For IL a mar should
keep a wolf or other wild ferOci0us
beast and suffer it to go at large to
prey upon his neighbors every night he
would commit an Offense for which he
would be amenable to the laws; and it
is equally wrong for him to keep a dog
and suffer il to become a beast of prey.
There is no lawful reason why a man
may not keep a wolf or q bear. or a
tiger even, if he keeps it in secure con-
6nement. Society does nc prohibit
this pleasure and qualification, and a
man may keep a dog with equal pro-
priety if he will only prevent it from
injuring or destroying his neighbours
flock. But certainly every man should
be obliged to do this, and farmers who
suffer damage have a clear right to in
sist upon it and to ask for sufficient leg
islation to enforce tn. y. Times.

AN ECCRNTRIC,s CAREER.

The Life and Death of pr. De Castro.
 CHICAGO, Dec. 2.-Dr. Fernando De Gas tro who committed suicide on Saturday at Newark, N. J., resided here for several years. He had great linguistic accomplishments and considerable medical skill. His antecedents were totally shrouded in mystery. At times he declared himself an Italian count who had abandoned vast estates for some rorAantlc cause; at others scion of proud old Cas- tiIian family and an exile from his birthplace because of political reasUrs; again Russian prince and at another time he intimated that he was Swedish noble who had presumed to differ too materially with his king Some years ago he met the beautiful daughter sf A. T. Spencer, the vessel agent, and so i'm posed upon her youthful fancy with his as- sumption of great wealth and claims to dis tinguished lineage that she married him. Three children were born of tnls mar riaoe. who now reside with their grandparents at Waukegan, Ill. De spite revelations which could not fail to awaken distrust, despite ill-trsatment and her husbands increasing habits of intox- ication, the devoted young wife chung to the man she had so rashly married until her family compelled him to leave her. She died about three years ago at the home of her father. Dr. Edmund Andrews said to-day that he had instructed the clerk of the fac u1ty of the Chicago medical college to tele- graph the coroner at Newark to learn It the report was correct that Dr. DeCastro w1lIed his body to that institution. If the report should be correct the doctor said the faculty would accept the proposition. It was no' uncommon. he added, for medical pIacti-
 tioners to make such disposal of theil
 bodies after death
