A NEW YORKER with the rather unro- mantle name of Eugene Lynn Spot, who until recently was a counter jumper on 8 small salary is going to Australia to win the e25, ,0OO, offered by the government for the extermination of the rabbits which for so many years have overrun that country to the detriment of vegetation and the useful animals that live there. Poison, the knife and dynamite have been used without suc- cess. The method by which MT Spot expects to obtain greatness and wealth is a novel one, and shows him to be possessed of very large American head. He will in- troduce rabbits inoculated with a certain form of disease which he hopes will prove so contagious that of the millions of rabbits in Australia all or nearly all will be de- stroyed in short order. Thursday Mir Spot and his rabbits started for Australia
 On arriving in that country the rabbits will be inoculated with the disease and set free. The government will allow MT Spot year in which to try his experiment..

SENATOR BLAIR, of New Hampshire, is thought by some to be suffering from sof4.sning of the brain. His latest crank idea is bill which he has introduced in the senate proposing that the ex-confeder- ate soldiers and sailors shall have the preference over ex-confederate civilians in appointments to civil service positions. The bill was not asked for, nor is it want ed by anybody. But for all that it's au- thor's motives in presenting it were good, and he is kind hearted man.

APPEAL TO THE w O R K l N G M E N l!

 KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN.
 BREWERS UNION, No. IA.
 Joseph Weibel is the proprietor of the Oak street brewery. He claims to employ only union men, and that the strike was ordered because he discharged one union man for incompetency. Yesterday he sought legal advice and was told to bring a criminal charge against the distributors of the circular and also to prosecute the officers of the Brewers union. The action of the brewers in distributing such cir cular, in the face of the setback boycott ters received in the Courier and Journal case, was reckless to say the least.

 As people, we pay far too little attention to birthdays and other family anniversaries. Too much cannot be done to make home att tractive, so that our boys and girls will pre- fer it to all other places.
 ssThis has been the incest day I ever knew," said a boy to his mother one evening. ssThe birds have all been singing, and the sun has shone every minute, and everything has been so lovely just for your birthday, mamma, and Pm so gladW and he empha- sized his gladness with hearty hug and kiss For weeks the boy had been looking little birthday gift as a surprise, and when the time came his whole mind was given to making his mother happy.
 But it's so much trouble to celebrate birthdays" complain some mothers, land in large families they come so often" Yes, it is some trouble; but how can we keep our children contented and happy at home with out taking trouble? And no mother regrets the trouble when she sees her children re- garding their home as the very best place in the whole world. Try to celebrate the birth days one year, and see if it does not spay," :" ill the enjoyment of the whole family. Let | no one be forgotten, from father to baby, and try to have each one interested in all the others, planning, if possible, some little birth day gift No matter how simple or trifling it may be, the love and thoughtfulness which ] go with it will make it precious.
 There are many pleasant ways of celebrat- | ing birthdays, according to the season of the year, the location of the home, and the amount of time which can be spared. Some times a drive in the country, a picnic, excur- sion or birthday party, will be enjoyed more than presents. Perhaps the family may all l go to some concert or entertainment in the evening. In some families the presents are all placed on the plate at the breakfast table, and the honored one opens the various pack ages amid the interest of all the rest of the household. In others the favored one finds | gifts at his side when he awakes in the morn ing Sometimes all presents are reserved until evening, when the business of the day is over. It is always pleasant to have on the dinner table some favorite article of food, while a prettily decorated birthday cake is almost always appreciated. Even If very little can be done, let each member of the household have some special treat on the an niversary of his birth, which shall make these days anticipated with pleasure and re- membered with gratitude. There are many simple things which children can make for parents and each other. Time is well spent in planning and contriving these love gifts, which bring happiness to both giver and re- i ceiver-Anerican Agriculturist

The Doctrine ot Hereditx.


 stMy child's moral development began when was years old," 8 mother sadly re- marked to a visitor whose face expressed surprise at the child's disobedience "I was as selfish as it was possible for mortal to be and had the same uncomfortable temper which you have just seen my little girl ex hibit. On my sixth birthday I had an ex- citing contest with my grandmother, who brought me up, dear old lady by whom was petted to the last degree. I distinctly remember all the circumstances, and child as was, realized even then that it was a crisis in my experience. I felt intuitively that if I could succeed in getting my own way that time I could get it forever after. My inference proved a correct one, and from that time on my poor grandmother resigned herself to bear my ugliness as best she might, making very little further attempt to con- trol me. Here is my little Amy, two years older than was at that time, with the same selishness and irritability, which am forced to believe she inherited directly from me. declare I sometimes feel as if couldn't justly blame the chi1d.'
 s'How," asks Emerson, "shall a man escape from his ancestors, or draw off from his veins the black drop which he drew from his fathers or his mothers life? His parentage determines it. Men are what their mothers make them;' fearful thought for mothers, if it can be proved to be true. ''The child is,'' truly, "father to the man," and there is 10 moro beginning Of education than there is of beginning to tie material universe. Every thing has corspired from the commencement Of time to ll1ake us what we are. Tennysons 'sinGant crying in the night, and with no language but a cry" may prove to be the governing power and influence of uncounted l future lives Every impulse of Wordsworth's growing boy" may show it's results in the characters of his children to the third and fourth generation. It is only as we look rel atively at such matters that we can approach any limit or definition, and the first question which a woman should ask, concerning the education of her children is one which should precede marriage, not be delayed till after maternity, "Am I fit to be the mother of children g-Caroline B.

Advioe to Newspaper Contributors.

Three things are necessary in order that one may be justified in sending anything to the public print. These are: First, something to say; second, long and patient practice in saying it; and third, the acquaintance with good literature which constitutes the best part of a literary education. Although the first of these propositions is too generally dis regarded, it remains true that the only ex- cuse for writing at all is to have something to say. If this truth were more generally recognized, the pages of trash that cucumber our magazines and newspapers, as well as the piles of trash in our book stores, would be considerably depleted-H. R. Shattuck in The Writer.

A Warning.

The modes OF deaths approach are
various, and statistics show conclu-
sively that more persons die from dis
eases OF the Throat and Lungs than
any other. 1t is probable that every
one, without exception, receives vast
numbers of Tubercle Germs into the
system and where these germs fall
upon suitable soil they start into life
and develop, at first slowly and is
shown by slight tickling sensation
in the throat and if allowed to con-
tinue their ravages they extend to the
lungs producing Consumption and to
the head, causing Catarrh. Now all
this is dangerous and if allowed to
proceed will in time cause death. Al
the onset you must act with prompt
ness; allowing cold to go without
your attention is dangerous and may
lose you your life. AS soon as you
feel that something is wrong with
your Throat, Lungs or Nostrils, OBJ
tain a bottle of Boschee's German
Syrup. 1t will give you immediate
relief.
