The Dog Came High.

Talking about Maine reminds
me of something that happened
down our way whcn'I was u boy,
A young fellow (vcry bashful
was out riding with his girl one
afternoon, when he saw an old
farmer coming downthe road in
his hay rigging. On the seat be.
side him was II littlo cur.

That was enough for the bash

"l'll sell you one" spoke up the

Absurdity Of Petitions.

A dispatch says in q suit at
Longvlew, Texas, Hon. John w.
Duncan. one of the attorneys ir
tho case. vehemcntly argued that
no value or reliance could be plac-
cd upon petitions promiscuously
signed by citizens. The opposing
rcfuted Duncan's argu-
ment scathingly,and characterized
it as absurd an idiotic. Tho court
and jury were also against Dun
can. They believed that petitions
in any cause, If signed by good
men, were entitled to considerl-
ton. Chagrined and defeated,
but not convinced that he was
wrong. Duncan quietly went to
work to prove that petitions were
of no value. His ingenious skill
was rewarded, when, IN open
court, he read u solemn petition
praying that the court would hang
their fellow-townsman, Luke
Howard, whois one of the most
respectable and cntcrprising citi-
zens of the place. Duncan dis
played the names of all tho coun-
ty officers and fifty business men
signed to this ludicious petition.
Among the signers were the
hrothcr-in-law and father-in-law
of Howard. Every signature was
proven genuine, aud it is conced-
cd that lowyer Duncan is just u
little the smartest man in Long
view.

Innocent of the Grave Crime.

In an Arkansas town, several nights
ago, a mob, led by a desperate man,
marched to the jail, dragged murderer
from cell, and hurried him to the out
skirts of the town. Each man wore an
expression of determination features
hardened by awful resolve The prisoner
attempted to speak, to beg for his life, but
the burly hands closed around his throat,
and the prayer he wonld have uttered
went out in an inarticulate gurgle.
When the infuriate men reached a
large oak they halted. One of them
threw rope over limb.
Gentlemen" said the prisoner,
''please give me chance to say word. -
EBe quick about it, some one shouted.
Gentlemen, admit that the evidence
is against me, but, as truly as We stand
here, killed that man in self-defense. -
''Killed what man ?" was asked.
''Bill Bottleford."
"You amt the man that killed Bottle
ford, are your"
eyes, unfortunately, am the man"
Men," shouted the leader, eve have
come within one of making a terrible
mistake" Then, turning to the prisoner.
the leader added: "We thought, sir, that
you were the man that stole Nate Boyd's
fish trap. Hop down often the box. You
are free. "-1rkdnsas Traveller.

Women ON Wheels.

Tricycling is good thing for city wo-
men, in the opinion of the Cleveland
Plain Dealer. 1t serves to bring rural ma
ture nearer their vision, health to the
doors of their lungs, and pleasurable
work, called exercise by courtesy, to their
hands But the tricycle. has some side
advantages that recommend it to all who
wish women well. / suspect the major
ity are men, Women still dress abomin-
ably. They look we'll They cannot, as
whole, do less in any or no costume.
But they dress unhealthy, unseasonably,
and uncomfortably. A tricycle-riding
woman must turn her attention to dress
reform. The present voluminous skirts
will strike her as cumbrous and in the
way; she must wear sensible undercloth-
ing, and corsets must be discarded. Here
are three small reforms which, if univer-
sally instituted, would reduce the death
rate ten per thousand among women.

JEWISH CONSCRIPTS.
Devices Adopted to Escape From
Military Service.


The St. Petersburg correspondent OF
the London Times writes: ga very curl
GUS note appears in the newspapers In
connection with the Finnish troops and
the Jewish question to the effect that Jews
who have to undergo their share OF mill
tary service In Finland will be permitted
to reside freely in the Grand Duchy until
June 1st, 1886 How magnanlmous OF
the government to permit Its Hebrew
subjects to perform their military
duties to the Crown without let
or hindrance, and then to reward
them, when no longer required, by
ionomjnious restrictions and expulsion.
The Jews naturally appreciate this unfair
exchange to the full, and do their best to
evade military service altogether. 1t is
siOnificant fact that in the last cCnecrlp-
tion nearly 10000 Jews failed to put IN an
appearances in their various districts, or
more than so per cent, of the whole num-
her of those who eyaded the law. The
Bashkirs and Tartars, to say nothing OF
az ctarians like the Mennonites, for IN
stance, are also much complained OF Tor
using various means, such as lnJurlng
their fingers and lessening the measure
ment of the chest, in order to escape mil
;tarv service. A number of Bashkirs have
been brought to account for reducing the
S;ze of their chests by semi-starvation and
other tricks, and thus obtaining medical
oertifcates of exemption. In Russia
eonscript is rejected by the doctors II m ms
chest does not measure at least half the
length of his stature. In one quarter only
OF a small district there we're 100 men ols-
qualified on this account out OF 800, when
