rat is of pure white color, about the
size of an ordinary barn rat, but as
harmless as a guinea pig, which it some

J. A. Arment has had on exhibition,
car coupler patented by him Dec. 80,
1884. The operations of the coupler
are shown by being connected to minia-
ture cars, which are placed and run on
a small track. The model has been
sent to the New Orleans Exposition for
exhibition there. The simple yet eff
fective manner of coupling and I'M
coupling cars, as shown in this patent,
it appears to us, should attract some
attention and interest.

The Spcarcvillc Blade, Damascus
like, punctures the fallen bridge propo-
sition in this cruel, but perhaps just
manner:
The Dodge City papers arc mourning
the defeat of the bridge bond PROPOSE
ton as some dearly beloved lost cause
that had passed beyond the borders of
recovery, and rccklessly bcratcs those
whose discretion prompted them to vote
against it. Just how'd on, friends,
as the Irishman said in reply to his en-
ployer, who was going for him rough
shod for doing such ragged job of
moving, "howld on-this is only the
first time The next time, if you give
the east side fair showing and also put
the proposition up so that it will be in
teligible to the voter, you may confident
ly count on good support from the
east side of the county at least. As to
the proposition just defeated, If our
neighbors will look at it calmly, they
must submit that it contained many i'm
perfectlons. First, which alone was suf
ficient to condemn it, the voter did not
know whether it was for the purchase
of the old bridge or the building of a
new one he was voting on. Second, no
amount of interest was specified, no
time fixed when Or where for the pay
ment of the bonds, nor provisions con-
templated for the levying of taxes for
the payments Of interests and principal.
Third, and also this omission may be
considered as fatal, there was no loca-
ton for the bridge in either case speci-
fed. Again we beg our Dodge City
scribcs to be calm, and remember too,
that the granger voters are not the

Many letters are received by the post
master at this place making inquiries

tanned one of these letters and recon-
mended Bat Masterson as clergyman,
but this despicable trick was not done
by the Dodge City Postmaster. Mrs.

The Confessions Of a Smoker.

Yes, it is a terrible bondage. 1t is a
slavery. Yes, / inhale the smoke, and
then blow it out again. 1t is very silly,
is it not? 1 do the same thing with my
breath. Away with this useless breath.
Some breaths are much pleasanter far,
far away. Why do I smoke cigars?
Because 1 am the biggest, and there
fore the cigar cannot help Itself. 1t is
an economical habit; the smoke of the
cigar keeps the moths out of my hair.
Then l use tobacco to preserve human
life. Science tells me that three drops
of the oil of tobacco placed upon the
tongue of a rattlesnake or a dog will
kill either or both of them in a minute.
/ tremble to think how many times |
walked in the very shadow of death be-
fore I began to carry a plug of tobacco
around with me. Now when l meet a
mad dog, l am secure. He may bite
me, but l will kill him. The cannibal
who eats me will dream that night that
he got hold of the wrong prescription.

A Country without Theater or Circus

Everybody on the island of Malta
works and slaves at least sixteen hours
a day, and he is fortunate, indeed, who
counts his weekly stipend at a dollar
and a half. There never has been a
theatre or a circus or a secular holiday
in Malta, and the popular amusement
is confined to feast days, when the peo-
pie congregate in n place and make
themselves sick On pink candy. In the
evening, when the hot, blistering sun
goes down, you can go up to the basin,
where the sea leaves a placid pool in
the rocks and indulge in the giddy dis
sipations of a bath. You can live there
in splendor for five dollars a week, but
at the end of four years you won't know
whether you are a catmaran or blind
fish, Washington Republican.

town barber-shop, "Jim was a good
workman, but l had to get rid of him.
He was too absent-minded and forget
full. One old fellow, with a head like a
billiard-ball, he never failed to ask if
he didn't want a shampoo. Another
bald-headed old chap got mad because
Jim insisted upon selling him a bottle
of Elixir that was warranted to keep
the hair from falling out. He cut one
mans ear nearly off while watching a
dog fight in the street. Jim didn't
mean nothin' wrong, but as I said he
was absent-minded. When old Deacon
Jones died, the family sentf for a barber
to shave him, an [ told Jim to 60 up.
1t was that job that lost him his situa-
ton. He did the work all right, no.
body ever found fault with Jim's work,
but when he had put on the finishing
touches an pulled the towel off the
poor old deacon, he turned round and
and shouted Next so that the people
heard him a block away. So [ told
Jim that 1 guessed I'd have to let him
go."-NcW York SIN.

Decaying branches break Oft sooner or
later some distance from the trunk
When this happens, nature at once
begins to work by closing in the bark
at the base of the branch, which IS
finally forced off when the bark meets,
if not before. In vigorous trees decay
in such a case rarely extends farther
than the base of the branch, because
the projecting pieces afford protection
from moisture until the wound is heal
ed over, rs is often very well shown
in the buried knots of sawn-up trees.
l had a ramble through a broad belt
am assured, the ''pruning-hook" has
never entered, and was impressed by
the fact that it had never apparently
been missed. The trees are rather
crowded, having been planted for
sheltering purposes, but, with the ex-
ceptlon of those at the margin of the
belt are remarkably straight and
clean-although they are all decidu-
GUS showing that the shape of timber
trees depend more upon thinning than
pruning. The wind has little power
to do injury to such "a plantation, but
many of the lower branches decay and
fall off naturally before they get
strong, and hence leave no mark on
the trunk, because the knots soon heal
over. If this were not the case, such
a thing as a clean pine or ir-tree
would I've be seen in plantations,
for, as a rule, these are subjected to
no other pruning than nature affords,
and which consists in the shedding of
so many branches annually. Within
the past few years there have been cut
here large tracts of as fine larch, per-
haps, as could be seen, every tree bare
of branches TO near the top, from ma
lures pruning. There was not an un-
sound trunk among them from decayed
branches. The same thing happens
with deciduous trees under similar
If the trees are judicious-
ly thiEned, the lower branches decay
and fall off before they grow large,
and the marks of them disappear in a
short time.
