The Right to Shoot.

1t is all ordinary affair in country life
for u farmer to discharge shotgun at
trcspasSers, and he seems to be unaware
of the fact that he can be convicted OF
murder, in case the shot proves fatal.
The same impression, although in less
degree, prevails in the city. There are
thousands of shopkecpers who would not
scruple to shoot person caught robbing
their till, and as for housebreaker,
there is scarcely one man in a million
who would not think himself justified i'll
shooting down the scoundrel at sight.
Yet little reflection should convince any
one that he has no right to shoot in any
of the above cases.
The law on this point is sufficiently ex-
plicit. You are not to shoot unless In peril
Of your life, and not then, unless there is
no chance Of escape by flight You may
shoot burglar or a highwayman be-
cause you have a right to infer that the
burglar or highwayman is armed and will
shoot You, and because you cannot es-
cape But you have no right to shoot the
thief whom you may detect in leaving
your. hail with your oyereoat, nor the
pickpocket whom you catch with his hand
in your pocket. The principle upon
which the law is,feundcd is obvious. You
have a moral and legal right to defend
your life or the life of a fellow being, but
you have mo- right to be the judge and
executioner in the case of a misdemeanor
or felony The courts exist for the pur-
pose of panishin the crimes of house
breaking, felony thfeSing aud fruit steal
ing, and Wherf YOU presume too punish
them youSare Tfghtly aflaenable to the law.

Thousands of Toothpiclxs.

"The toothpick trade has grown to
enormous proportions, " said dealer in
them to reporter. Thousands of feet
of soft white pine arc yearly converted
into these little infinitcsimal splinters. 1t
has not been many years since the big
goose quill was the only toothpick going
One of these hard picks from n goose
would frequently last man week or
80. He carried it in his waistcoat pocket,
and instead of smoking, when he became
lonesome he would draw forth his tooth
pick and snap it between his teeth. 1t
acted as q sedative, so to speak. The evo-
luton from the old style pick was not
marked by any intermediate grades worth
mentioning. The soft wooden pick found
favor soon after its introduction. They
were found convenient and thoroughly
efficient. The gold tOothpick is used
more as an ornament than for actual SER
vice, and besides is too expensive for the
general run.
"The hotels are great patrons of the
toCehpick manufacturers. In this city
alone thousands of dollars annually are
paid by the hotels for soft wooden tooth
picks 1t is estimated that each hotel, as
a rule, furnishes ten times the number of
toothpicks to outsiders, those who are
not guests. The reason is that every
man who goes into a hotel leans over the
counter, sees the box of toothpicks lying
there and naturally picks up five or six
in his hand in leaving. The business is q
paying one and good profits are made.
The annual trade amounts to thousands
and New York, perhaps, has the largest
trade of any city. New York Mail and

Tho Result of Tree Planting.

The fact is the rainfall is now fast eX-
tending westward from the Mississippi
river. Three years ago our lands were
considered almost valueless because Of
the generally believed Interchangeable
laridness of the climate. The change is
the result of tree planting and cultiva-
ton of the soil So far as the work has
gone the effect produced has been won
derful. The air, scientists explain, con-
tains much moisture, the particles of
water being so infinitely small that they
are lighter than the dry air and float
upon it. Cultivation of the soil and trees
cool the air near the surface, rendering
it so light that it has the same effect on
the particles of water that the pressure
of ones hand would have on a wet sponge.
When enough of these minute particles
are pressed together they become heavier
than the air and fall in dew, or. when the
same process is continued in a greater de-
gree the result is fall Of rain. Just in
proportion to the cultivation of the soil
and the planting of trees so shall we have
our reward in rain.-CimarrOn New

Nationalists Declare Themselves De-
lighted with England's Action.
LONDON, Dec. 2O.-The government has de-
cided to proceed against all concerned in the
plan of campaign OH a charge OF conspiracy.
Summonses have been issued on Dillon,
OBrien, and four other other commoners.
The cases win be tried in Dublin in January.
1t is reported that the police have been in
structed to arrest campaign leaders every
where Commouer Carew has abandoned
his intention Of receiving rents at Bally-
haunis, learning he was being watched by
the police.
OBrien. in all interview, said the Loughrea
police only.secured fSS out of FL, 100 rent
money received by trustees. He expressed
the opinion that the prosecution of the trus-
tees would stimulate and help the movement
instead of suppressirg it. He was surprised
that he and his fellow trustees had been al
lowed to give bail, as they were thus enabled
to continue the campaign. He looked for
ward to an awakening of English public
opinion against the arbitrary arrest of men,
bers OF a Legitimate organization.
The ParnelliteS are resolved by making
use of the only means i'll their power to
force the hands of the government. Meet
ings are taking place at Cork, Limerick, Tip
perary. Wexford, and Kilrush in support of
the plan of campaign The arrests
have had the effect of immensely strengthen
ing the popular movement. The priests are
taking prominent part in the plan of cam
paign at the places above designated and
elsewhere. The Nationalist declare them
are delighted with the arrests, and hope the
government will go on until their real
purpose is made clear to the English masses.
kilograms from Dublin Friday night claim
that the seizure of rents by the police were
Illegal acts, for which the government as
well as individuals are responsible.
A cabinet council was held Friday, having
been summoned suddenly and unexpectly to
consider measures dealing with the Irish plan
of campaign. The majority, it is stated,
voted to so to the full extent OF the ordinary
law, and to exert the fullest powers of the
crown for the suppression of the anti-rent
movement. The council was long, and de-
veloped considerable opposition Lord Sails
