The following story is told of old
Father Taylor: He oLce went from
a certain town noted for its apathy in
religious matters to conference meet

were comparing notes as to the condi-
ton of church work in each ones
locality. Presently some one asked
Father Taylor how the religious inter-

Central American Politics.

Salvador and Honduras have ar
ranged a treaty of neutrality and also
of arbitration in case of difficulties.
In case of war with another power
each is to admit the products of the
other free. The projected inter-
oceanic railroad in Honduras is to be
available to Salvador in case of war
and Salvador is to build branch
from Puerto Union to the main line,
to be free to Honduras under like cir
cumstances. It is believed that the
object of Salvador is to isolate Guate-
mala in the event of war.

A patron of the Colusa Sun says
that after experimenting for six years
with various kinds OF gopher
exterminators, including smoking
machines, traps, cats, carbon, sulphide
and many other kinds of poisons, he
has found the following mixture to be
the most effective as well as the
cheapest remedy he has ever used.
Out the top off a five-gallon oil can,
clean thoroughly, put in a little cold
water and insert stick of phosphorus.
Hot (not boiling) water is then grad
ually poured in and stirred with a
stick until the can is half full. The
water should be just hot enough to
melt the phosphorus gradually. AS
soon as this is done, stir briskly while
two pounds of sugar are added.
then added to make thick batter.
Stirring is continued while wheat is
added, making the mixture as thick
as can be stirred. Add at the same
time as the wheat, fifteen or twenty
drops of oil of rodium. The water will
be absorbed by the wheat, which
should be dry, and the whole will be-
come hard mass. Pieces the size of
a hickory nut are chopped off as de-
sired and put in the main runs of the
gophers. The odor will attract the
rodents from long distance and the
least nibble is sure death. The above
quantity of poison will be sufficient
for a large orchard or a whole neigh
borhood of small growers.

DibbIes and Corn-droppera.

"A dibble and a corn-dropper win
be more in his way than the rife. for
some weeks to eome.r said Mr.. Howell.
What IS dibble?" asked both of the
youngsters at once.
The elder man smiled and looked NJ
Younkins as he said. "A dibble my
lambs, is an instrument for tie plant
ing of corn. With it in one hand you
punch hole in the sod that has been
turned over, and then. with the other
hand, you drop in three or four grains
of corn from the corn-dropper. cover it
with your heel. and there you are. -

we will make some dibbles for you,
boys. for you must begin to drop corn
tomorrow What blowing we have
done to-day, you can easily catch mp
with when you begin. Aud the three
of you can all be on the furrow at once.
If that seems worth while"
The boys very soon understood fully
what dibble was. and what corn
dropper was. strange though those inn
fore the end of planting-time, they
fervently wished they had never seen
either of these instruments of the corn
planter.
With the aid of a few rude tools,
there was fashioned staff from the
tough hickory that grew near at hand,
the lower part of the stick being thick
and pointed at the end. The staff was
about as high as would come up to
boys shoulder. SO that as he grasped it
near the upper end, his arm being
bent. the lower end was on the ground
The upper end was whitfield so as to
make convenient handle for the user
The lower end was shaped carefully
into something like the convex sides Of
two spoons put together by their bowls,
and the lower edge of this part was
shaved down to a sharpness that was
increased by slightly scorching it in the
fire. just above the thickest part of
the dibble. hole was bored Al right
angles through the wood. and into this
peg was driven so that several inches
stuck out on both sides of the instru-
ment. This completed the dibble-
so that is dibble, is it?n said o.
car. when the first one was shown him.
"A dibble. Now let 3 see how you use
it."
Thereupon his Uncle Aieck stood up,
grasped the staff by the upper end.
pressed his foot on the peg at the lower
end of the tool and so forced the sharp
point of the dibble downward into the
earth Then, drawing it out. a convex
slit was shown in the elastic turf.
Shaking an imaginary grain of corn
into the hole, he closed it with stamp
of his heel. stepped forward and re-
peated the motion few times. and
then said: That s how they plant
