There is no end to this lodging bus
mess, and as the Journal displays an
anxiety for its welfare, We are glad to
know we. can help it along. Is the
Journal in favor of high taxes in Pres
ton county? If it is not, why don't
it denounce it2 This is something
that interests the farmer who Is not
protected by the Republican high pro-
tectiye tariff. In fact it pays its annual
visit to taxpayers in the county. The
Journal can't charge it up to the Dem
ocrats, for the Republicans have had
everything their own way for the last
twenty odd years. If the Republican
party is the friend of the poor man and
not the tool of monopoly, why don't
it give as lower taxes IN Preston ?
This is an excellent missionary field.
1t is not necessary for the Journal to
go to London, England, for evidence
in this case. 1t can get all the evil
dence it wants by going out amont the
farmers and taxpayers of this county.
We don't intend TO let the Journal
hoodwink the taxpayers of this county
by publishing the names of the manu-
facturers who are Topping to the Re-
publican party. 1t will have to toe
the mark and explain to the taxpayers
of this county, if it can, why we pay
such an enormous tax.

Hunting With Dogs.

All hounds save the greyhound run
entirely by scent. When they come up
oG the faint scent OF a track thew will
work along il until il grows tresher.
znd then begin TO bay OF give tongue. ~
There Is always a correspondence be-
tween the baying and the trail. An
experienced hunter can tell by the bay
ing not only where the dog is, but, by
the frequency and the confidence of the
sound, how fresh the trail is-thar is.
how Close upon the game the dog is.
All hunted animals have a way of doub.
ling, or running in circles. Hence. if
a hunter observes by the baying that
his dog is going away from him, he
waits patiently, sometimes for minutes.
sometimes for hours, until the circle is
made. and he hears the dog approach
ing. Then he is on the alert for a shot
for the game is probably not many rods
In advance of the dog.
Dogs do not seem to enjoy those

Tickets, Please!

The passenger-trsin conductor has in
many respects the most difficult posi-
tion in the railroad ranks. He should
be first class freight conductor and a
polished gentleman TO boot. But in his
long apprenticeship on fright train he
has very likely been learning how not
to fulfil the additional requirements of a
passenger conductor. He must now
manage his train in a sort of automatic
way, for he has his mind filled with the
care of his passengers and the collection
of tickets. He must DC good at figures,
keeping accounts, and handling money,
though the freight train service has Civ
en- bim no experience in this line. Year
by year the clerical work connected
with the taking up OF tickets and collect
ing OF cash fares has been increased un
I'll now on many roads an expert bank
clerk would be none too proficient for
the duties imposed.

may be that cat which belonged 10 a
breed which never had any tail might
not feel that loss, and yet bobtai.ed
pussles seem absolutely mute and dumb
in the ordinary relations of life, though
they purr and new just as other cats
do. There was a boy who said once ::
"Cats smile with their tails. don't
they. papa ?' His father told him
there was no doubt of it that they did
smile with their tails. An intelligent
cat can put more expression into the
qCirks and twists of her tail IN half an
hour than the school of expression can
teach in month. Did the reader ever
see cat express doubs with her tail :
She holds il straight up in the air while
she looks meditative!y in advance, and
turns just the tip of the tail first to right
and then to left in a Series of quick lit>
tie jerks. Evidently she is balancing
two courses of procedure in her judy

tail admirably reflects the mental pro.

mellow apple is digested in an hour and

five hours. The most healLhful dessert
that can be placed on the table is bak-

with coarse bread, and without meat
or flesh of any kind. it has an admirable
effect on the general system, often re-

induced TO substitute the apple-sound,

which children are too often stuffed,

A Charming Friend.

Kaiser Francis of Austria does not
show his years. One sees him of'en in
haldsome victoria on the Wolfand
road, where he goes three or four times
week to call on his platonic friend,
the actress Schrort, says a correspondent
in the New York Tribune. This
favorIte lives in handsome villa, the
fraustein, on the edge of the beautiful
Wolfang lake. with view of the Schaf-
berg from the back. The place Was a
present from her imperial protector,
and the picturesque cottage in the
midst OF lovely grounds is in every way
q regal gift.
Early in the morning the hansome
emperor drives from Ischi, the court
equipage is left at the lighthouse, and
his majesty is rowed to the villa of his
beautiful friend. which is inaccessible
by carriage. This call lasts a couple OF
hours, and his fair hostess herself con-
ducts him back to the tower, where the
carriage waits. 1t was an interesting
and strange sight 10 see his sacred aud
imperial majesty padding along the
lake in little dOgout, unattended ex-
cept by his sympathetic and platonic
friend. a beautiful woman is the
Schrott, the elegant lady from crown to
toe not manner, not a ribbon which
would indicate the actress. or the spoiled
favorite of sovereign.
In striking contrast to the elegant
though quiet, imperial equipage is the
swell" six-in-hand of Baron Heine.

footmen and coachmen, footing away

siung from their shoulders, make a
pIcture worthy the florid pages of G.. r.
James. The baroness, a petite blonde
with face like those Bouguereau loves
20 paint, IN a marvellous costume of
daintlest shades,s sits proudly on the box
beside her handsome husband. who
handles the ribons, plies The whip, and
blows the horn like a master. The
country people stare and the landlord
smiles when this magDifcence ratties
up before the door of the country gast-
houses lying in the rear Tue country
people have never before seen such 2or-
geonsness and the landlord knows fine

receipts. After supper, which Is iae
one, with the sparkling wiDes, the four
dogs, two white and two black, nestle
a. the feet of their master. The pretty
mistress joins her husband in a cigar
ette, which comfortable habit she
learned, no doubt, when she, like
Schrott, was an actress, and clouds
smoke roll from the rosebud lips. Then
the skin hand is ordered up before the
door, and the music of the silver horns
dies away in the distance.
