the separate organization of all counties

That Persistent Nuisance.

Carrington News In convsrsatlsn with
Mr.. Casey. Of the Carringtsa & Casey
Land Company, about the gopher aui-
sauee, he shows that tho company's sx-
psrisnce differs widely frsm the popular
idea on the question. On the Livinxsten
farms they poisoned on their own land
only, and did not attempt to cover id.
joining sections. When tho wsrk was
faithfully aud thoroughly done the 70.
pliers did not--as it is generally supposed
they will--come in from contiguous
lands. This is good encouragement for
all to persist in the effort to clear their
ewn land Of this nuisance. The poison
the company used was equal parts BY
measure Of strychnins and acetic acid,
half an ounce Of strychaine being dis
solved in fsur gallons Of warm water !;
this filled with wheat. and this allowed to
stand until the grains became soft.

that ten couples were wanted at the resi-
dencs of Mr.. N. J. Shields to partako of
a. finely = prepared supper as is often
placed before a lot Of hungry and merry
people. There was an abundance Of
cakes and pies of many kinds, and fowl

eighty people fed. After the first ten
couples had suppsd the dancing was re-

did not dance enjoyed themselves in social

A New Kind of Orphans.

The strange circumstance of a man
finding his orphans" at the Ohio Sol
diers and Sailors Orphan home, where
their mother had procured their adj
mission, happened here recently. A
man named Heating, claiming to be a
stucco plasterer from Newport, KY,
came here and found his three chill
dren-a girl, IA years old, and two
boys, younger-at the home. BE de-
manded that they be turned owe to
him, as he was able to support them
and they were not entitled to be there
any way, as they were Kentucky chill
dren. But the board would not re-
lease them, as they said they did not
want to go with him. Heating claims
his wife got the children placed in the
home fraudulently, and has employed
Hon. John Little to get them out for
him. Orphans with father and mother
both living are a new variety.-Xenia

Wonders of Woman,s Hair.

A woman's hair may grow to the
length of six feet. Mime. Hess, of
Paris, refused 5000 francs for her
''cranial covering" which was about
that measurement. Four hundred hairs
of average thickness would cover an
inch of space. The blonde belle has
about 100000 flaments to comb and
brush, while the red haired beauty has
to be satisfied with So, 600; the brown
haired damsel may have 100, 600, the
black haired but 102, Ooo. Few ladies
consider that they carry some forty or
fifty miles of hair on their head; the
fair haired may even have to dress
seventy miles Of threads of gold every
morning. A German experimentalist
has proved that a single hair will sus-
pend four ounces without breaking,
stretching under the process and
cortrncting again. But the hair thus
heavily weighted must be dark brown,
for blonde hair breaks down under
two and a half ounces.-Home Jour
nal.
