A new scheme to swindle farmers has
been worked in some of the southern coun-
ties of Michigan. A man comes around
buying straw stacks for paper mills. He
gives his note for the sum and asks for re-
ceipt to send to the mills to show what he
has bought. 1t is only the old dodge to get
the farmers signature to paper which
afterwards turns up promissory note at
the bank, left for collection. Sign nothing
for stranger and mighty little for any
body else.

Hundreds of copies of the opinion of Judge
Mcconnell in the matter of the secretary of
the social club at Tower City, convicted of
dispensing liquors uulawfully, have been dis
tributed in that section. The temperance
people print them on tinted paper, with hand
some TYPOGRAPHICAL adornments. 1t is re-
ported that the names of most of the officials
and high mucks of the county are found on
the rolls of the club, and for a unanimous
prohibition town the shipments of beer and
whisky there the past year have been re-
markable.

General Notes.

Swine men have been greatly troubled
this season by the prevalence of hog cholera
and the devastation it has wrought among
their herds. Prevention with this disease
is always the surest and safest remedy, and
prevention may generally be effected by OBJ
serving proper sanitary regulations. Hogs,
like many other kinds of domestic animals.
will not bear overcrowding, overlooking,
nor to be forced to wallow in filth all their
lives, but must have plenty of room, fresh
air and pure feed and drink in judicious
quantities.
No grain, says an exchange, gives better
returns for the number OF pounds than oats
as feed for young pigs. Oats are now in
most places cheaper by the pound than
corn. Oats will also fatten pork, but not
so rapidly as corn, nor will they make so
large proportion of lard and fat meat.
Their chief advantage is in furnishing more
bulk in the feed.
Conveniences for watering and feeding
stock are the most important things to be
attended to at the opening of winter.
When feed and water are convenient the
labor of taking care of the stock is ma
terially lessened, and if feeding racks and
boxes can be provided beneath shelter. the
labor will still be further decreased.
The fattening hogs should have warm
shelter and protection from storms,
or it will require more grain to finish them
off. Besides, they will not grow so rapidly
nor make as large rate of gain for the
amount of grain consumed. It is economy
then to provide warm and dry shelter fol
this kind of stock.
He succeeds best who can plan work for
every day of the entire year, as few idle
days will eat up the profits of many hard
days toll. 1t is now generally understood
that small profit on work that is continuous
throughout the year pays best in the end.
Unkindness never brought good result;
it is born to evil and it leads always tc
wrong. To brute it is cruel; to servant
it is unmanly; to friend it is mean, but
when made to burn in the hearts of the
home, it shows the element of fend.
When things go wrong with the children
and the servants and the general unfitness
OF things, scolding will not remedy them.
Every woman who scolds loses power, re-
Spect and esteem everv time she repeast it,

suggest to your Honorable Body what i'm
provements in it's opinion are proper and
necessary to be inaugurated and prosecuted
to completion the coming year.
There are some suggestions, however, re-
lating particularly to the time of ordering
public improvements by your Honorable
Body which this Board believe they may
properly make. feeling assured that they
will be received and considered by the
Council in the spirit in which they are Of
fered, and which, if accepted and In prac-
tice adopted by the City Council, will
greatly facilitate the business, not only of
the Council and this Board, but also of the
business of the City Treasurer and City
Comptroller. and all persons having bust
ness with those officers growing out of the
public improvements of the city.
The Board Of Public Works are clearly
and unanimously of the opinion that all the
public improvements, particularly all street
grading, street paving, street openings,
sewers, and stone and wood sidewalks and
crosswalks that can be anticipated as being
necessary and proper to be made during the
coming year, for which there will probably
be an urgent demand, should be ordered at
the present time. or at least as soon as the
same can conveniently be done without I'M
necessary delay.
And to this end, and for the purpose of
facilitating the public business, this Board
would respectfully suggest and recommend
to the Council that the several members of
your Honorable Body, each for his respec-
tive district, prepare and have passed by
the Council and sent to the Board Of Public
Works, as soon as may be, preliminary Or
der for any and all public improvements in
his district which will probably be called for,
or which, on the ground of public interests
and necessity, ought to be undertaken and
prosecuted to completion the coming year.
This Board would give all such orders
immediate and due consideration, and if the
improvement ordered is necessary and
proper would return the same with favor
able reports, accompanied as the law re-
quires by the proper final order for the i'm
provement contemplated. If such final
orders should meet the approval of and be
passed by the Council, the Board could at
once send them to the Engineer for plans
and specifications, and advertise for bids
ana award contracts.
If this plan of ordering public improve
mentS should meet the approval of and be
adopted by your Honorable Body, two very
important results will follow, viz:
First-A very large proportion, probably
more than three-fourths, Of the contract
work for public improvements for 1886,
could be put under contract by the 1st of
March, certainly as early as the LIST of
April, 1886, and the work on such improve
ments could and would be commenced as
soon as the frost is out Of the ground. and

The Kaiser Faith.

The words of the venerable Elm peror William. of Germany, uttered in the Dom chapel at Berlin as he stood before the new altar.piece representing the kings of the earth laying their crowns and sceptres at tho feet of the Redeemer, are worthy of remembrance. Said the kaiser:
 In my life time Heaven has cov- cred me with blessings and mercies, especially in my old age, but the homage paid me lay at the throne of the Highest, from whom we de- rive strength to execute all the best things that can be done on earth. Within the last few years. before the eyes of all you, things have happened by which Prussia has been raised higher than ever we expected. You have all been witnesses of the great work accom- plished, which will continue to en- dure if it's foundations remain in purity of religion and progress in every good deed. In my old days 1 can call Heaven to witness that 1 have ever looked upon religion as the sole foundation on which ev- erything reposes, and as the high. est good of my people.

Wanted--.A Man.

An esteemed contemporary as serts that a young lady graduate at Meadvllle, this state, selected as q subject for her essay Wanted "A Man." and, though, of course, she only expressed the sentiment of every girl ill the graduating class, and every other-girl in the universe, for that matter, the con fession appears to be creating some surprise. Of course the young lady graduate went on to say that it was not any sort of man that she wanted. It was not a dude with smoothe hair, nor a mere dashing beau in good clothes, much less a spendthrlft, loud, but would-be respectable scamp, who would first ruin his wife's life and then mortgage her silver. The young lady graduate. of course. wanted a man that amounted to something, that was somebody, and could do mans part in the house. hold and in the world. In this, too, she expressed the yearning of all the girl graduates, and the other girls, too. But, bless their dear hearts, did it ever occur to them to ask of what earthly use the av- craze girl graduate could be to such q mani Will she paint plaques for him; fling little chips of French in his ears; drum on the piano and rack his nerves; dress fine for the street and be dowd at home; neglect her body and her mind, and think that her only mis- sion is to be cared for? Of course she wants a man; needs one badly. But suppose she begins to query what she will do with him or for him when he is found.

"HOeeyables.'

An esteemed correspondent sub- mits the following inquiry:
 SIR.-Will you kindly inform mo what the lowest public position is that a man can hold that would en- title him to put "Hon." before his name?
 There is no law whatever on the subject, and the grades of those who enjoy this complimentary dis tinction seem to be gradually wid- ening out. Originally it was con ferred on members of Congress, members of the cabinet, governors and other high mugwumps. Next members of state legislatures were called "Hon.," and now pretty much every fellow whom anybody wishes to please gets this vague and indetermina.e epithet. It is all a matter of taste, and there Is no precise rule about it.--New York Sun.

He Saw Ills Father.

'Father," he began, after taking the old man out back of the barn. "Your years are many"
 "Yes, my son."
 "You have toiled early and late, and by the sweat of your brow you have amassed this big farm."
 That's so, William"
 ''1t has pained me more than l can tell to see you. at your age, troubling yourself with the cares of life. Father, your declining days should be spent in the old arm chair m the chimney corner.
 "Yes, William, they shou}d.'

 ''Yes, sir"
 "In order to dispel any delusion on your part that Pm old and fee. ble and helpless, I'm going to knock down half an acre of corn stalks with your heels." And when the con vention finally adjourned, William crawled to the nearest haystack and cautiously whispered to himselt
 "And Sally was to broach the same thing to ma at the same time! I wonder if she's mortally injured or only crippled for life.- EX.

Women always show by their ac- tions that they enjoy going to church; men are less demonstra- tive.
 When a women becomes Hurried she feels for q fan; when a man becomes Hurried he feels for a cigar.
 Women jump at conclusions and generally hit; men reason things out logically and generally miss it..
 Some women can't pass mil linery store without looking in; some men can't pass saloon without going in.
 A women never sees baby without wanting to run to 1t; man never sees baby without wanting to run from it.
 Women love admiration, appro- batiOn, self immolation on the part of others; are often weak, vain and frivolous. Ditto men.
 A woman always carries her purse in her hand so that other wo- men will see if; a man carries his in his inside pocket so that his won't see it.
 A woman can sit in a theatre for three hours without getting all cramped up, p,catching the toothache or becoming faint tor want of fresh air; a man can't.
 A woman, from her sex and character, has claim to many things besides shelter, food and clothing. She is not less woman for | ing welded; and the man who is fit to be trusted with good wife recollects all which this i'm plies, and shows himself at all times chivalous, sweet spoken, considerate and deferential.
