A Double Hit

Last week certain folks who wanted
to see us downed were chuckling be-
cause we were not invited to the grand
autumn soiree given by Mrs. Judge
Gilderslee, of Jackass heights. 1t was
a social snub on US, we'll admit but
the aforesaid chuckling has ceased. 1t
broke short off day before yesterday
when the sheriff arrived from Omaha
and tapped the Judge on the shoulder
and asked him how the business OF COW
stealing got along.
We've had the biography OF the
judge in hand for some months. He
robbed a postofflce in Illinois, stole
hogs in Iowa and embezzled from q
toll-bridge in Indiana. On the top Of
that he stole cows in Nebraska, and
when his wife made cold mutton OF US
we went down to the telegraph Office
and dispatched the sheriff to come on.
We think we are about even. 1t is
not the policy Of this paper, as We
have often stated. to deplete our popu-
lation by giving away" our citizens,
but no one must try any monkey-shines
with US. We are here to stay.-Ari.

tstruggles Of Sea and Land

We stand on q bluff at the seashore.
The surfis undermining it That deep
cutting In the bank is its work. An
overhanging mass Of earth il thrown
down and becomes the toy Of the
waves, which reduce 1t to gravel. This
in its turn becomes ammunition to be
hurled against the shore. Wherever
this process is going on, the land falls
back before the advancing sea, and
considerable results are evident in q
short time. The island OF Heligoland
has been reduced, within 1000 years
from considerable island to mere
rock. The strings Of rocky island
along many coasts are remanants OF
destroyed Shorthand. Thus the Land
yields with hardly a struggle to the
sea. Loose alluvial terrains give way
In q body. The Zuyder Zee SO came
into being 5000 years ago, and Hol,

Of the sea, would have been likewise
overflown, II 1t had been defended by
artificial dikes. Subsidences Of ground
have also been sometimes observed
during earthquakes. In other places
the sea gives way. Rivers carry out
masses Of detretus and deposit them
along the shores, causing the land to
advance. BY this operation Of this
process, Roman ports on the eastern
coast Of Italy have been left away In
land, and whole alluvial districts Of
the upper Italian plain have been

a Very Valuable Dog,

A gentleman with dog entered a
restaurant and asked for a bill of fare.
The waiter replied:
"What shall | get you sir:'
81 will take couple of poached eggs
to start with"
"And SO will l." said the dog, who had
perched himself on chair by the side
of his master.
The waiter looked scared. A few mo-
mants later the guest called out:
"Waiter, please bring me some roast
beef and potatoes"
"And me too," added the dog.
Intense stuperaction on the part of
the waiter.
At the next table sat an Englishman,
who now looked up and said:
"You must have taken immense
trouble to teach that dog to talk"
"Yes," replied the gentleman.
You would not like to part with
itT
"Not for money!"
"Pray don't sell me-" exclaimed the
dog in suppliant tones.
"Woull you take thousand pounds
for hm:" said the Englishman, eagerly.
"A thousand pounds is quite a large
sum-" was the reply.
At length the bargain was struck.
The Englishman wrote out a check for
$1,000 and took up the dog.
"As you have sold me-" said the dog,
turning round and looking at his old
master, "fll have my revenge and
won't speak any more"
Neither did he.

Ni0iets and Pansies.
To grow violets or pansies outside of
a greenhouse is considered BY practical
gardeners one of the easiest things 10
perform. Many florists keep them in
cold frames exclusively as t!ey have
not room for them in the greenhouse,
unless Il house is built on purpose for
them. They may lie grown in pots, AS
W ndow plants, provided plenty of AIR
can be given on sunny days and Il steady
temperature. between 35anl 80 degrees,
can lie kept up. If kept in too high an
artificial temperature they will not
flower much, but will make up in red
spider what they lack in blossom. A
geianium, a carnation, and a monthly
rose may be wintereI and tiOwerad ut u
low temperature il plenty OF sunlight
prevails.
The violet wants to be kept cool at
all times il it is expected that it will
fulfill its mission. All this does not inn
ply that the temperature of a violet
house or flame should never be
allowed TO run up to GO degrees,
because sometimes the heat in
the daytime is not always under CON
troll. Tie sun may sometimes make
the atmosphere under glass warmer
than the gardner would like to have it,
but to raise tho sash only one inch
would let the frost in and do more dam
age than the heat. In such case
little too high temperature is the lesser
evil.
A good place 10 grow violets or pm
sizes may be constructed at the south
$ dc of a dwelling. Dig u pit two feet
deep along the house. Into this put
stout frame 10 receive common hot bed
sash, tine sash TO lean against the build
ing. Tear down the wall that separates
the frame from the cellar under the
house, and put a row of windows in its
place. The idea of this is that the
natural heat in the cellar shall keep
your frame at IL steady temperature.
At the same time you may work over
your flowers, no m Utter what the out
side atler may be-, and when no air
can be given from the outside it may
be done indirectly inside. When the
outside sash is open the inside m,y be
shut. Thus the sun will warm up the
cellar, aud perhap' store little heat
for the night.
