far distant when mothers will consider the real
interest of their children, and use Castoria in

agents down their throats, thereby sending

There IL q close resemblance between
the domestic hen and the grouse mother.
A hen, Is you know, will boldly fight
anything in defense Of her young, al
though nominally she Is q great coward.
A grouse hen will not'attack man or 0
dog, but she will resort to arts and do
vices to protect her little ones that are
both amusing and pathetic. She Is .
very sharp sighted bird, and in her prai-
ne home she is sure TO see you before
you discover her presence. She could dy
away at your approach, but she will not
desert her chicks. She will first hide
with them under q tuft Of grass, In the
hope that you may pass by without dis
covering her.
II she finds that you have discovered
her she will Ay away few feet, dutter-
ing and falling as II wounded, with the
manifest purpose Of drawing you away
from her brood II you follow her she
will keep on with this queer stage effect,
gradually leading you away until the
chicks are safe.-Pittsburg Dispatch

Whether q harness Is in good condi.
ton after six or eight years Of hard
service, or is good for nothing after two
years, depends on the care taken Of It.
II well oiled and cleaned after every ex-
posure to storms, the harness lasts until
enough is made out Of 1t to buy another.
It Is . good plan to keep two harnesses,
one for fine weather and the other for
use when 1t Is wet and rough. We saw
only few days ago . harness that its
owner assured us had been used for best
during eighteen years, and 1t was still
In good condition. In that time many
farmers would be obliged to buy two II
not three harnesses. It Is possibly in
facts like this that some farmers may
find abundant reason for their complaint
that farming does not pay.-American

in the soil so slowly that they are treated

Mr.. Childers was never Q hard drinker,
but sometimes when the company at the
club was especially convivial, and the hot
stuff particularly good, and when he had

would imbibe just enough Of the potent
toddy or punch to make him little mel

not as clear a. It was won't to be, nor his
perceptions quite as accurate. From the
end Of his street he always looked for the
light shining through the hall window
Of his own house, as beacon ray to guide
his footsteps home on the darkest night.
There was no gas lamp just in that

NEWSPAPER THIEVES.
They Rob Subscribers of Their Papers,
and Then Sell Them.


There have been great many COM
plants of late from subscribers who do
not get their morning papers, and the
cause therefor has been located.
The gang of young thieves who have
been lately in the Police Court for various
offenses have adopted a new plan to get
money. They rob clothes lines of stock
ings, and these they pull over their shoes
when they have them, so as not to make
noise, and in this way they are enabled
to slip into front yards and steal the
papers left by carriers. After thus rob-
bing neighborhood they go down town
and sell the papers for five cents copy
A reward of $40 has been offered for the
arrest and conviction of any person found
stealing copies of the RECORD UNION
from subscribers doors, and this should
induce some one to get up early and turn
an honest penny.

UNIVERSITY EXTENSION.

The scheme of University Extension"
appears to be gaining a good footing in
this country. Several colleges are already
putting it into operation. In brief, uni
yersity Extension is scheme for afford
ing those who can not attend collegiate
courses, fair opportunity to benefit at
home and without abandonment of usual
vocations, by good portion of the Uni
versity system of training.
In England the system has developed
remarkably, and now pervades the king
dom, Correspondence Associations
existing in every considerable commu-
nifty. It would seem that the results
there have very fully met expectation.
The idea is more advanced and elabo-
rated Chautauqua Circle system. New
York has just passed law authorizing
the Regents of the University in that
State to promote the new system in New
York. This official Endorsement gives
the plan a character from which is re-
moved all doubt as to its feasibility and
beneficence. Before the Legislative
Committee which examined into the
scheme there appeared many of the fore
most Presidents and instructors of the
colleges in that State, all of whom gave
the plan hearty approval, and pledged
themselves to engage in the work it in
wolves.
OF course studying under direction by
correspondence cannot do all that the
college can for the student resident under
it. But it does open systematic and
supervised higher education to thousands
of people who can never attend college
lecture and sit with college class. It has
a great and benefcent influence also in
encouraging interest in study and in
educational advance, and it likewise
proves powerful agency in informing
the people concerning the work of coll
leges and in bringing to them greater
support.

under the piracy laws. That we viii at
tempt to stop the warship conveying her
is not probable. The taking of the Itata
under the piracy laws will be a showing
of ordinary diligence. That we will
risk possible results by attempting to
follow the arms into the Esmeralda if she
receives them on the high seas, as she
must do, is not at all likely.
1t may turn out that the Esmeralda
will represent triumphant arms in Chile,
and that fact, while not recognizable as
conjecture in international law, will very
likely exercise an influence upon the
conduct of our cruisers, if they encounter
the warship. They may be expected,
therefore, to do battle with her if she re-
slsts them in retai<ing the Itata; but to
do nothing further towards checking the
insurgent cruiser, which has committed
no offense in our waters, and can scarcely
be dubbed a pirate, representing as she
does a powerful rebellion waging war,
controlling a large part of Chilean terri
tory, and entitled to be recognized as
belligerent, and according to the present
outlook likely to be victorious.

WHY NOT ENFORCE THE LAVE

A large number of street assaults with
the purpose of robbery behind them
have taken place in this city within the
past few days. There is every reason to
believe that the perpetrators of these
murderous attacks upon citizens are of
the class who take refuge and find shelter
| and concealment in the low dives with
which the city abounds. If regulation
were applied these dives could not exist.
Residents in blocks would refuse to in
dorse their application, and moneyed
men would not take the risk involved in
| becoming sureties upon their bonds.
Places OF entertainment licensed upon
petition and giving bond would not
tolerate about them the gang Of thugs
who make low dives their headquarters,
| where witnesses can always be procured
to prove convenient alibis for them, and
to establish that they are not subject to
the vagrancy law. If there is any reason
why the ordinance we now have, regu-
lating licensed places, bars, saloons and
the like, should not be enforced, and
with vigor, the people would very much
like to know what it is.
The class that frequents these low
places will not remain in a city where
such headquarters are not tolerated.
These cutthroats, thieves and loafers
are social beings; they must have COM
! panionship, a resort, and centers where
they can congregate and spend daylight,
as well as dark hours. There is no more
direct road to the expulsion of these foot
| pads and loafers than to make the city
uncongenial for them by breaking up
their resorts, so true is it that environ
ment has most to do with vicious condi-
tions of society. Clean out the dives,
regulate them to such plane of good be-
havior that their distinctive character
will be lost, and the rascally and murder
Gus crew they now breed and harbor will
disappear to seek environment and con-
ditions that are congenial.
