MHr2-A prominent gentleman

WHY?-A prominent gentleman
who lives IN the - ward remarked
the other afternoon that he had TO
go home and cut wood for night.
He was asked why he didn't have
the wood cut by proxy-giving n
colored gentleman n valuable con-
sheraton for performing the I'M
pleasant task. He said if he en-
pIoyed a colored gentleman to cut
the wood and paid him for so do
ing the wood-cutter would reap
pear in the darkness and spirit the
cut wood away. If the wood was
left uncut it would not be stolen;
therefore, he did not propose to
pay TOR having the wood cut to be
carried off. This shows lament
able lack of confidence in the
probity of colored gentlemen who
are addicted TO wood-chopplng,
but as the citizen has had much eX-
perience in this Inc his suspicion
is in all human probability we'll
founded. The particular citizen
referred to is not q candidate tor
any municipal office, else he would
have kept his suspicion-as the
colored man would express Ito
"hisseIf."

st. Louis Republican: 1t is an,
nounced that DR.. Paul Pauuln, state
veterinarian of Missouri, will short
ly visit Paris to make a personal
investigation of the Pasteur method
OF incubation, with the view OF
testing Its value in protecting farm
animals against epidemic and con-
tagious diseases. If this prophy-
Tactic process really possesses the
merits claimed for it, DR.. Paquin
very reasonably coniectures 1t may
be employed to prevent the hog
cholera that perpetuaIly ravages
the swine herds of the West and
inhicts such enormous losses upon
farmers. And, fit will prevent or
arrest the hog cholera, why not,
also, chicken cholera and the
pleuro-pneumonia? Western stock.
raisers will await the report of DIR.
Paquin's investigations with eager
interest. An effective remedy for
hog cholera al5ne would be worth
millions a year to them.

Judge Brewer, of the United
States court, has been stirring up
things in Kansas. He has decided
that the state shall pay a we'll
known brewer of Leavenworth
$4,000 for his brewery or allow
him to go on manufacturing beer.
The effect of this decision is that
the stat the state must pay for all
property rendered useless by pro-
hibItion laws, including, 1t is sup
posed, besides breweries and DIS
tilleries, all vineyards which ag-
gregate an immense amount in
value. In contrast to this the
Leavenworth county attorney has
been served with a writ requiring
him to appear before the state su.
preme court and show cause why
he should not be removed from
office for refusing to enforce the
prohibitory law in Leavenworth
county.

An EngIisbman in Madras has,
by lucky accident, made photo
graph of tiger in the act of selx-
ing its prey. The camera WAS
focused on 4 buffalo tied to a stake
some thirty feet off, and had just
received a dry plate, when a tiger
leaped from the jungle and struck
down the buffalo with q single
blow. The operator kept his pres,
enco OF mind and released his shut,
ter before taken TO hls heels, The
negative proved 3 poor one, but
showed the relative attitude OF
tiger and buffalo pretty well, and
confirmed the generally accepted
opinion that the tiger, with his
knock-dowE blow, endeavOTs 10
dislocate the neck Of his victim.

The wonderful stories told of
grain which mad been made to grow
after having lain dormant t6ous-
ands of years in the hands ofmum-
mics. does not seem to have any
foundation in fact. Mr.. H. Il.
Parks states in the Journal of
Science that he has investigated
all the cases he can find, and shows
that there is not a single authenti-
Gated instance OF corn found in 4
mummy having been grown. Some
of the seeds found IN mummles
have terminated, but as they pro-
duce plants-oats, for instance
not known 10 the Arabs of 5000
years ago, it seems evident that
they were Systematically put IN
the hands of the mummies by the
avarleiOus Arabs of modern DAYS.

shook hands with HIM. The daugh-

Capt. Eads is said to be conf
dent of getting the senate to pass
his ship-rallway measure. A work
ing model has been set up IN the
senate commIttee-room, and the
points of the enterprise are beng
presented with Kill. A rumored
combination between the Henne-
pin canal men and the Mississippi
river Improvement people is held
to also give ground for expecting
the Eads bill to pass the house by
joining forces with this combina-
ton. 1t is said, on the other hand.
that the Eads party cannot add
any considerable strength to the
other interests, and will not be
taken IN. There is danger, too,
that so big a combination may
fnghten congress and defeat itself
all around.

While the festivities ;. IL PtO'

made an attack on the hall with
clubs and broke out every window
pane, and then attacked the sash
because no glass was left in it and
broke every sash. They also did
some pistol shooting, in a promis-
cuous sort of way. The supper
was completely broken up. This
was no doubt elegant" sport for
those engaged in it, but 1t afforded
no amusement whatever for the
quiet people who had assembled
to enjoy themselves socially. The
outrage has been kept quiet IN or

Crop mortgages are being record

plenty of car loads ut that. The
crop mortgage and the car loads
of corn and bacon when consider
ed with reference to each other
may possibly otford food for medi-
tatlon, and by a simple stretch of
the imagination the hard times,
complaint of which Is so common,
may be partially accounted for.
"Hard Times" is 4 thing that never
