A Depraved School Teacher.

StilIman D. Thompson, young far
mer, sat in the chambers of the Mum
icipal court at Biddeford, Me, a few
days ago, prey to all the emotions
that love and fear could arouse He
was between the extremes of terr-
BILE dilemma. Either he had to expose
the woman be loved to the world as
a deprayed adventures or go to Jail.
His case is one of the most remarka-
BILE schemes ever attempted. Ella
Waterhouse. pretty slender builo
girl of the blonde type presides over
one of the city schools. She met
Thompson two years ago and he fell
madly in love with her. He was
poor farmer and beside q few acres
had not cent in the world His at
tentions became annoying to Miss
Waterhouse, and in conjunction with
her brother, Forrest Waterhouse,
she determined to get rid of the trou-
blesome suitcr and enrich themselves
at his expense at the same time.
Shortly after the opening of the term
Last fall Miss Waterhouse announced
to the police that she was the victim
of some scurrillious anonymous writ
er, She proved that upon several
occasions when she opened school in
the morning she found the blackboard
covered with the most horribly OBJ
scene passages and pictures and the
school house broken open. She also
received letters of a similar nature
through the mails. She charged
Thompson with being her prosecutor
and his being seen haunting the
school l-house at unseenly hours led to
his being arrested, and backed by her
brother, who testified against Thomp-
son, she secured heavy damages.
The poor victim was heart-broken at
his idols treatment. but tried hard to
settle, refusing even to attempt an ap-
peal. He sold his farm and all he
had, but could not raise the entire
sum needed and pleaded hard for
time. This was refused and the Wa
terhouses insisted on his payment or
Imprisonment. This reused him, and
soliciting the aid OF friends detectives
were put tU work on the case, result
ing in the startling exposure of the
conspirators' plans. The obscene
letters were all traced to Forrest Wa
terhouse, who had inflated Thomp-
sons style of writing. He was prompt
ly arrested and tried. The evidence
created a great sensation, as it clearly
showed that the school teacher not
only composed the vile epistles her
brother wrote but also may have done
the scurilous drawings on the black
board herself. Forest Waterhouse is
badly scared at the sudden turn in
thing, but his sister sat stoically
through the whole proceedings. Poor
Thompson cried bitterly when compel
led to testify against Ella, who he
still loves regardless of his treatment
and wants to compromise the case to
save her, but the state insists on sus-
tanning the matter. The prisoners
are highly connected.

Parasites on Live Stock.

At the end of winter, colts, calves,
and older stock are very apt to be
crowded with these Objectionable
parasites. They thrive best upon
poor animals, and are supposed to be
bred by old, worn out, and misera-
BILE creatures. However this may be
theirs is no doubt that they find a
suitable home in the dirty matted
hair in the late winter or early spring
months, and on q sunny day may be
seen literally in millions. every hair
having nits upon it. One reason of
so much rubbish accompany ing them
it that in the course of their develop
ment from the egg to the mature
louise the skin is cast several times.
To get rid of them is not always
easy, as the length of coat and &C.
cumulation of dandruff or scurf makes
waterproof covering that resists
many remedies which in themselves
are certain destroyers ifonly brought
into contact with the parasites.
A sunny day should be chosen, and
the early part of it, when a bountiful
washing with soft soap and hot water
should be undertaken, 80 as to clear
the skin of grease and dirt before ap.
plying the remedy. Stavesacre is an
effectual destroyer of lice if prepared
by boiling ] pound with gallon of
water and brushing well into the coat
with hard brush.
Tobacco juice is also much in re-
quest for the purpose, and can be pro-
cured from druggists at a very low
rate, as it is imported now free of
duty, or only nominal duty, and
the old expensive plan of boiling or
infusing good shag tobacco is not
necessary. By the way, very few
people avail themselves Of the gov
ernmental privileges of growing suf-
6cient tobacco for this and fumigat-
ing purposes, though they might
easily do 80.
Parafin is sometimes used, but is
very dangerous remedy, occasion
ally being absorbed and causing the
death of the animal, and not unfre-
quently causing blister, and much
unnecessary pain, and subsequent
blemish.
There is another kind of louise
from which horses suffer, which if
once seen, can never be forgotten
we refer to poultry lousiness. 1t
will sometimes happen that a horse
stabbed with fowls will become affect
ed and literally tear himself to pieces
with them unless promptly treated
with one of the foregoing remedies,
either of which is as effectual against
these as against the ordinary louise.
In washing or applying any
remedy, it should always be com.
menced near the eyes and worked
backward, as if any other plan is
adopted the besieged retreat into the
name and ears, and many escape al.
together. like the rats that are left
just to keep up the breed after the
rat catcher has gone.
1t is always we'll to repeat the
dressing and keep the animals moving
about till dry, or they may lick OF
more lotion than is good for them, or
stand about and get chilled Chem
ist and Druggist.
