PULL DOWN THE BLINDS.
A Sad Case of Bad Example in Red
lands.


lands.
Scipio Craig has discovered an extra
ordinary incident about Redlands boy
and girl, which he records in the Citro-
graph as follows:
"a certain swain and lassie in town
appear to enjoy each others society
hugely, as they have perfect right to
do. They frequently occupy the same
hammock, and when the shades of night
have fallen they grow forgetful OF such
mundane things as window blinds, and
passers often witness the luxury of fond
endearments in which they indulge.
Now. we have not the slightest objection
to all this, but the fond parents in the
dwelling opposite have young
daughter, and therein lies the trouble.
They do not wish her plastic imagina-
ton awakened by such scenes, lest she
might reason by analogy that such in
dulgences are pleasant. The aforesaid
fond parents have felt compelled to for
bid their daughter to frequent the front
yard, or even to indulge in the luxury OF
sitting on the piazza. and consequently
the enforced indoor life and piano prac-
tice are undermining her health, not to
mention the narrowing effect of the lat
ter occupation upon the neighbors. We
would suggest that the remedy and
moral to be drawn from all is simply to
pull down the blinds, love-

clan is not made in a day, but after

Faith in God is not simply believing
that there is a God and that he has
made gracious promises but believing in
God takes in more than that. 1t is be-
lieving that there is a God and the
Bible, and also to consign ourselves to
God and to do and be what He says in
His word.
Men are not moral paupers. They
help Themselves, and God helps them to
help themselves.
There is an outside tempting devil,
perhaps one for every man, and that
devil attacks the weak points in our
character, and If we overcome him an
inheritance" is promised us of "all
things"
God gives us only those things we can
use and enjoy. We do not give pictures
to blind persons, for they could not ap.
preciate them.
Those who successfully fight this bat
tie of life and overcome the temptations
set before them ''shall receive q crown
OF glory" at last, as an emblem of ouI
victory. No one appreciated the victory
of the late war like the old battle
Scared, smoke-begrimed, suffering vet
eran. All OF us are in the midst of :
great battle in this life. and if we over
come il, great will be our victory.

SCRANTON, MISSISSIPPI FRIDAY, JUNE 26

and frequent crags Jut out over
the water Of The river.
One day about five months after
The advent OF The strange comb
nation Of wildness ana beauty Co
chita was missed from The fort, and
will others | was detailed To find
and bring her back. As | had
seen her frequently near he river
| became possessed Of The idea
that We would find her enscnned
in some of the small caverna in
the rccks al its edge. at once set
out up the river bank, keeping a
sharp lookout for the girl, but at
first failed 10 find any trace of her.
When almost ready to give it up
and report my lack Of success, |
thought | heard a voice singing a
wlerd, monotonous air. GlancIng
in the direction whence The sound
came, | was Mortified 10 see the OBJ
Ject of my search standing on the
outer surface of crag which oyer
hung The river. Her long hair was
streaming in the wind, her face
turned toward the north. and with
her arms extending at full length
she was grooming a wild song,
which occasionally broke out INTO
an awful cry Of agony and regret.
Fearing TO alarm her, | sat motion
less on my horse waiting for the
end 10 come. Suddenly she threw
her arms into the air, aud with the
most appalling shrek | ever heard
Sprang from the lock and was
dashed 10 pieces in The rapids be-
low, her delicate body disappear
ing in The angry waters as they
swept remnl selessly to the ocean.
No Trace of the singular creature
was ever found. ant but little was
ever known of her people, who were
supposed 10 be living i'll MeXlcn.

AT The April meeting Of the
Natural History Society, DR.. Thos.
). Stevens eatprtained and in
structed the members by an illus
traied paper on roilfer, a micro
scopic animal that is among the
rarest IN the group. II was first
discovered by Russian miroscop-
ist, next found twice III Philadel-
phia, once ~ Illinois, and some
years ago in Trenton. 1t has now
been discovered here.
Thecreature Is unlqne i'll several
particulars that would be of little
Interest 10 the general reader, but
which fill with ineXprt s>ible joy
The heart of the microscopes, who
is happy when he Is prying into
The little brain or he larger stom-
ach of the animal.
The little creature is blessed
above The human beast in having
two etnmarhs, which it can fill
with other animals, and apparent
~ enj joy iiself-by digesting them
in spite Of their wriggllng. But
IN connection with one OF the ami
mails siomachs a discovery has
been made in Trenton that has
never before been made in any
pant Of The world-otherwlse it
would not be discovery. This
pouch is internally lined with a
dense and woolly coating of vi
bratiug hairs. These strange in
ternal pendages appear to he un-
known in any other than the Tren-
ton rotifer, and are, therefore, Of
great interest in scientific way.
Another pleasing point, pleasing
both TO The animal and to the mi
croscopist, is that The rotifer has
no means of seeking its food nor
Of creating currents in The water
that shall bring food 10 lis double
stomach. 1t can only rest on IL
small leal or other object, hold Its
mouth wide open and wait for
Providence TO fill it by means of
some wandering animal that shall
blunder into The trap and be done
for, because once in those Jaws
there is no escare.

JUDGING SHEEP AS TO WoOL.-A
sheep farmer who is growing for
wool as we'll a. mutton should be
a good Judge of wool, so that he
may determine the comparitiyo
values of his feeces. In judging
there must be standard, and this
standard must have due regard TO
fineness, to length Of staple and to
density. In judging as TO fineness,
says DakOtd Farmer, commence at
the shoulders, as there the finest
wool is always 10 be found. This
may be taken as the standard and
compared with he wool from the.
ribs, the thigh and rump, and tho
nearer The wool from the various
portions of the animal ap-
proaches this standard he better
the fleece is. If the result is salts
factory it is pronounced as TO its
lineness very "even." In scruti-
niZing the length of The staple, if
the wool from the ribs, thigh and
back approximate reasonably in
length 10 that of our standard, the
fleece is again pronounced as re-
cards length of staple "true and
even" The density of the fleece is
hen examined by closing tho
hand upon the portions of the
rump and loin wool, as these parts
ire usually tie most faulty. If
his point proves satisfactory it is
pronounced even as 10 density.
rhe density is the most difficult 10
determine. as in il touch must be
he sole guide, the eye not beng
depended upon, as in the oihere ex-
70 summarize these
proofs, if The fleece is of nearly
equal fineness and length Oh
rib and back, and Of dem
,ity on shoulder, rump and loins,
We have model sheep for pro.
lucing wool.

Mr.. Fred Buthweg, of this city, finds
himself in a position to sympathize
with ex-Gov Boyd, of Nebraska. Fred
came to this country from Germany
when under eighteen years of age with
his father. The senior Buthweg did
not take out naturalization papers and
so Fred was not a citizen as contemplat-
ed by law, though he has voted for a
number of years, under the presump-
ton that the papers he must take out
constituted merely a formality. He re-
ceived his naturalization papers Mon
day, and the fact that he sat upon the
State Bison jury last week called at
tention to the error of his position. 1t
is presumed that new trial will be
granted on account of the technically
which would prevent him from acting
as juror. The error has been commit
ted innocently, and since its discovery
has been the source of great deal of
worriment to Mr.. Buthweg.

THE Southern Alliance is the back
bone of uncompromising democracy in
the south, and through its agency it is
claimed that the South will remain
solid as in the past. This is the boast
of democratic papers. And yet the
democrats who are endeayoring to gain
a foothold for the same alliance in the
north claim that it is the flower of a
magnanimous spirit, thus attempting
to impose upon the people of our state
and win those of independent proclivi
ties to the support of and old and no
torious political mountebank. 1t will
hardly pass in Iowa.

find in Prof. Hooker as faithful a work

under circumstances that would have
utterly discouraged an ordinary person,
but by his possession of clear grit, he
finally oyer-came his difficulties, and be-
came master of the situation. AS @
teacher, he is painstaking and thorough.
As man he is of exemplary character,
and no one can say word other than
i'm his praise, as to all his dealings with
his fellow men. His connection with
the school of West Union is severed, on
his own motion, because he believes
Audubon presents to him better and
broader field. He will always be re-
rnembered here as man of energy,
faithfulness, honesty and clear grit, the
elements which will secure success any
ere.--Fayette County Union.
