A Little Spark.

AT 2:1O this morning an alarm of fire
called out the department. The blaze
proved to be in little butcher shop on
the south side of Second street, between
Spring and Main. The shop is in the
one-story brick on the corner of Spring
and Second, but there is lean-to con-
nected with the meat vendors place.
In this old wooden rookery the fire broke
out. No one seemed to know how. A
stream of water directed on it for few
moments prevented confagration.

POOR FARM WANTED,

Our Brandenburg correspondent
gets to the front with a very timely
letter this week, which will have a
tendency to show the taxpayers of
the county their error in eternally
voting down the proposition to erect
a poor farm. At the last meeting
of the board, some $500 were dis.
bursed in payment for goods fur
nished paupers, and while no doubt
there were many needy ones aided,
the presumption is fair that some
OF those aided should be taught les
sons in economy and self sacrifice.
The correspondent is correct in his
suggestion to the board and the pub
lie in particular that poor farm
be erected for those who must be
held up. And he is right in de-
manding that the names of all aided
ones be published, not that any one
doubts the integrity of the board,
but to try and develop little shame
among some classes of people. The
idea of devising plan to in the
future aid men with the idea that
the money be returned is good
deal of a question. We rather think
it not advisable,,-unless the county
sets itself up as a loaning bureau,
and that certainly is not advisable.
There is feature in connection
with this pauper question. which
we have called attention to time and
again, and that is that the tax for
poor farm is fixed by statute and is
collected yearly, and rests in that
fund in the hands of the treasurer,
and cannot rightly be used for any,
thing else. We have long since had
an abundance of money to erect the
tarm. but the tax payers in their
misguided notions insist that no
such farm would prove economy.
And yet they must submit to the
usual tax for such place, and pay
in addition thereto many times
more than this in aid of 50 called
paupers. The makers of statutes
are right about having a place for
paupers. and the people are wrong
In fighting the law. and we think
circumstances are developing these
facts in the premises.

Some two weeks since Chief Prop
per discovered that about 100
bushels of wheat had been taken
from his granery. near town. He
set about looking over the elevators
for his missing wheat, trusting to
the fact that oats having sifted down
from the second floor of the granary
onto the wheat, and consequently
become a little mixed Herewith,
would lead him to detect and prove
his grain. At Breckenridge he dis
covered his grain, a little mixed
with big white oats. and learning
that the same had been taken there
by one Andrew Anderson of this
city, arrested him on the charge of
having stolen and sold the wheat.
The case was taken before Justice
Gray, Monday, when Anderson, en-
ploying Chas. E. Wolfe and Richard

bonds being placed at $500, which
Anderson failed to secure, and went
to Jail.

Mental Telegraphing.

It is said that the Indians on the plains have always practised system of mental telegraphiug among them selves, by means of which they commu- nicate with each other almost instanta- neously. and without messengers or sig nals. This mental telegraphing is by no means peculiar to the Indians on tho plains of the United States. The same thing has been done by many people on the plains, and among the mountains, both of America and other countries, and is today, and always has been, one method of manlfesting knowledge known to and practised by many per- sons.
 The manner in which such communi- cations are made seems to be, and is, Q great mystery. Many theories about it have been suggested, all of which fall short of satisfying the minds of people as to how it is done. The fact that such communications are sent and received, and that they are often genuine and true, and that such is one mode of man. ifesting knowledge, is now almost uni versally conceded. .-[St. Louis Repub- lican,

The Old Oaken Bucket

Science goes for things dear to us without mercy. Every body who has lived in the country and who knows tho old we'll loves the "old oaken bucket" We all love it because we have read what the poet says about it, and in our schooldays we chose the poem as our 'piece' and spoke it. We have qucnchel our thirst from tho old oakeu bucket with its contents after carefully looking into its dubious depths for "wigglers" or worms. We have bal anced the rusty, dripping inconvenience on the curb and submerged our noses in the ''nectar" we gulped. We have spilled the ''cryStal' on our shirt front and profanely growled as we felt it trickle down inside our collar. We have seen the leaking drizzle, from a hole in the bucket, spoil our fve-cent shine. We have longed under these circumstances for cheap glass tumbler or common tin dipper, but in all our tribulations we never. thought the old oaken bucket an iron-bound death dealer, but it seems that it is, for a scientist tells us that it is "a compound, condensed mass of nitrogenous and phosphatic filthiness, the home of the microbe, and the all-prevailing bacte- ria."-[Martha's Vineyard Herald.

A Pet Ostrich'S MiShap.

When, as sometimes happens, soli- tary chick is reared at the farmhouse, it becomes absurdly and often incon- veniently tame. Ono called Jacki; was the terror of all the little Africans about the place; for, as they sat on the ground with plates of rlce and pumpkin in their laps Jackie would bear down upon them, requisitioning from one plate after another. Occasionally he acted in such menacing manner that the young sters dropped their plates and ran away crying. Jackie would then squat on his heels among the debris and regale his enormous appetite at leisure. But one day retribution came. Having spotted the pot in the kitchen out of which the pumpkin and rice always came, he thou, ht he would attack the fountain head, so pumping his head into the pot, he greedily scooped up, and, with the lightning-like rapiiity of ostriches.
 tossed down his throat large mouth full of boiling rice. Poor fellow! the next moment he was dancing round the kitchen. writhing in agony, shaking his head nearly off, and twisting his neck as if bent on tying it into a knot. Finally he da he'd wildly from the house; and the last that was seen of him was little cloud of white dust vanish ing on the horizon. - St. James Gazette.

The Honey Plant.

At the last meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science specimens of a new honey plant were exhibited. Six years ago it was sown, with other seeds from Florida by MT. Chapman of Versailles. The plant is classified by Bcal and Scrinton as the Echinops sph@rocephala. It be- longs to the teasel family, and, native of Central France, has in some unac- countable manner become naturalized in Florida. It grows from four to five feet high, and bears large prickly leaves like those of thistle and from twenty to thirty heads of small white flowers which open from the top down. ward. The flowers are very prod of nectar, and arc therefore very at- tractive to bees, 3, 135 of which, by ac- tual count visited one head of plant between 5 a. m. and p. m.

The Olive in California.

The olive is to be Q source of great wealth to Northern California. It will flourish here better than in Italy, where about 9, 900, 900 acres are devoted to the tree. We say "better' advisedly, be- cause in the new soil of this state tho yield is fully double to the acre attained in the warm soil of Italy. There is no tree worthy of SO much attention here. It is pre-eminently adapted to the foot hill region, since it thrives in the dryest and most rocky soil without irrigation, ard in such situations gives oil of finer quality than that obtained fiom olive orchards on rich alluvial soil. But both valley and foothills are suitable to the olive. - [Oroville (Cal Register

Sunshine Remedy for Obesity.

But here is a secret for women troubled with obesity, which we anticipate will carry some weight, namely, that bodies exposed constantly to the sun "gain such activity of the blood forces as to prevent any excessive forming of adj pose matter" It must not, however, be supposed that, on the other hand, plenty of sunshine is conducive to lean ness. Not so, for the really healthful condition is neither fat nor lean, but shapely and plump, and the suns rays quicken the nutrient functions, pro- ducing beautiful and elastic roundness of form; indeed, the constant action of the sun upon human body is like the effect upon plant, vitalizing and strengthening to every part.-[Press.

Ills duty is onerous and re- quircs tho utmost pun ctuality and regu- larity. A failure to wake up one of his employers would result in the losing of his situation y the latter Ills duties are particularly arduous in bad weather. Sometimes long distances have to be traversed between the homes of his patrons. A half hour is usually allowed for the driver or conductor to swallow cup of hot cotf e and bolt Q sandwich.

Cure for BiliOusness,

First, on getting up and going to bed drink plenty or cold water. Eat for breakfast, until the bilious attack passes, a little stale bread, say one slice, and piece half as large as your hand of boiled lean beef or mutton. If the weather is warm, take instead a little cracked wheat or oat meal por- ridge.
 For dinner take about the same. Go without your supper.
 Exercise freely in the open air, pro- ducing precipitation, once or twice a day. In few days your biliousness is all gone. This result will come even though the billousness is one of the spring sort, and one with which you have, from year to year, been much af- f1icted.
 Herb drinks, bitter drink, lager beer, ale, whiskey, and dozen other spring medicines are simply barbarous. ---[ [Dr. bio Lewis.

Effect of Glare upon Eyesfght.


 It appears that Professor Plateau, of the University of Ghent, while trying to observe the effects of the irritation of the retina gazed steadily at the sun for twenty seconds, the result being that chronic irido-choroiditis developed, ending eventually in total blindness. A number of cases are known in which choroiditis and retinitis occurred in persons who had observed an eclipse of the sun. The single flash of a sun-re- Hector has been known to cause retinitis, and other temporary visual disturbance of a fun ctional character have been fre- quently noted. M. Reich has described a curious epidemic of snow blindness, which occurred among body of la- borers engaged in clearing way through the masses of snow which obstructed the road between Pas sanaur and Mteti in the Caucasus; the rays of the sun reflected from the vast stretches of snow on every side pro- duced an intense glare of light, which the unaccusto tomed eye could not support without the protection of dark glasses. A few of tho sturdiest among the labor CTS were able to work with impunity, but the ma jority suffered SO much that among seventy strongly marked cases thirty were so severe that the men were absolutely unable to continue work or to find their way home and lay prone on their faces, striving to hide their faces from the light and crying out from pain. Recovery was gradual but complete.
