Tomato cans are TO have rest in the
land. Hereafter the billy goat is to be
properly considered nuisance and accord
iugly suppressed, by order of the board of
aldermen. Whenever a goat shall hence
forward venture to take stroll in search of
an old boot, it is the duty of the nearest po-
hceman to arrest him peaceably, if he can,
but forcibly, if he must. Many exciting
battles are in prospect. For Billy is one of
the belligernts from away back in the.alley,
aud will not tamely submit to arrest. But
the ordinance is thoroughly a good one.
Peaceable citizens have been compelled to
back of the block often enough just because
a pugnacious goat CHANGED to find there
particularly choice packing box that he de-
sired to eat unembarrassed by spectators.

Markoa Told the Truth.

Mrs. M. T., a well-known lady of Norfolk
Va, owns parrot known as Markos, of which
an amusing story is told. Mrs. 7. bought the
bird year or two ago from a sailor, whose pet
he had been for several voyages, says the st.
Louis Globe Democrat, and, shortly after pur-
chasing him, became aware that Markoe had
shared the conviyial tastes of his first owner
and had decided weakness for wine, and even
something stronger. She endeavored to break
the parrot OF tie habit by allowing him to have
no stimulants, but Markoe, when under their
influence, was so clever and amusing that
visitors often begged to give him glass OF
wine for the pleasure of hearing him talk. The
servants also often entertained themselves by
making him drunk on beer etc., so that Mar
koe was very often intoxicated in spite of his
mistress disapproval.
On one occasion he had had some champagne
from the ladys nephew, and was very hilarious
when she said to him: You're drunk, sir, and
had better go away. don't want to see you
till you're over it." Upon this he skunk away
and hid himself, feeling he was in disgrace. and
also to sleep IL OFF. In a short while a gentle
man coming to call on Mrs. T. was ushered into
the room in which Markoe lay concealed. Pres
emily the visitor heard severe, dspleased voice
saying: you're drunk, sir, and had better go
away. don't want to see you till you're over
it." He caught up his hat and was in the act
OF rushing from the room, when Mrs. T. entered
it, so he only made her hasty bow and left the
house The lady had heard her words so the
parrot repeated, and, understanding that the
caller had mistaken the voice for hers, was
overwhelmed with dismay at what the gentle
man must have thought of her dis
courteous and outrageous assertion, or, rather
accusation. She looked for and soon discovered
Markoe under the folds of portiere which
hung across the door by which she had entered
the room. She was about then to write a note
to her friend apologizing for the occurrence and
explaining it to him, though she feared he
would scarcely credit the story, when to her
amazement a servant brought her a note from
the gentlemen she was writing to, in which he
stated that he acknowledged with humility that
he had perhaps taken to much wine with his
dinner but had hoped in calling on her that she
would not have detected it. AS she had done
so, however, he offered his most abject apollo
gies and prayer for forgiveness.
Mrs. T declared she never told the story
but it leaked out in some unaccountabe way,
being really too good to be lost, and it is con.
sidered rather dangerous to mention parrots to
the gentleman in question.

Farmers alliances in the west should be
more careful of their membership. Dis
honorable men there are using the name of
the alliance as pretext for refusing to pay
their just personal debts under the plea that
the policy of the alliance is 20 repudiate all
claims for interest on borrowed money. OF
course the alliance has no such policy, but
this action shows that the farmers cannot
be too careful how they encourage anything
that can be distorted by the dishonest into a
semblance Of Reputation of obligations
Many people are altogether too willing to
take advantage Of such an opportunity.

New Jersey prohibitionists seem deter
mined to shut off the liquor traffic, even
though they have to chase all the saloonists
into the swamps At Southold lately they
went on the rampage and put all the liquor
dealers to fight. Women there overturned

fleeing barkeepers had been driven. Some
of these prohibitionists are not to be trihed

IRRIGATION.

raising crops. 1t was in use back
in prehistoric times. Ancient
Thebes on the upper Nile was
among, if not the largest city, ever
on the globe. 1t was created and
supported entirely by the art of
raising crops by irrigation-by
water taken from the Nile. Baby
lon on the Euphrates was in an
arid country, and was also sup.
ported by the art of irrigation. In
the days of King Cyrus, Babylon
was the leading city of the world,
and was built and supported by
raising crops by irrigation. The
grass that acknowledgements ate was
raised by irrigation, for if had not
have been it would have been too
tough to eat. If the garden of
Eden was located, as many sup.
pose, at the confluence of the river
Tigres with the Euphrates, Adam
and Eve, or Adam, must have been
good irrigators, as that was and is
now an arid country.
History plainly shows that in
irrigable countries much heavier
Apopulation can be supported than
where dependent on rainfall.
Among the traces of prehistoric
man canals for irrigation is lead
ing one. Mostly in the the last
fifty years the American people
grappled with the problem of irri.
CATION and as ON all other things
they have made wonderful prog
ress, and today America has some
of the most skilful irrigators in
the world. But there is much to
by learned yet.
This country has reduced the
cost of construction of canals to
minimum as also in the applica.
ton of water in raising crops. The
latter art is not yet very efficient
among the masses of irrigators.
1t is an art that requires more
good sense than hard labor.
The Importance of irrigation to
man is so vast that it is impossible
for US to span or comprehend its
wide spread benefits, and they
can only be unfolded as years
pass. When we consider that one
square inch offlowing water purpose-
ly applied to raising the cereals will
produce $3.50 of wealth per an
mum to man we then can commence
to form an idea of the value of
Irrigation and its importance. I
estimate the difference between
rain fall and irrigation as three is
one, in favor of irrigation, and
account for this difference by the
following reasons:
Water is an universal solvent
rock the source of all fertilization.
The water in it's percolation in,
among, and over sand and rock,
dissolves the sand or rock and car
ries this in solution together with
the salts, and in the application of
this water in irrigation these needed
elements of plant life are brought
in such condition that plants seize
and appropriate them, and do not
draw on the soil for these elements.
Water is the blood of plants. Nor
lg this all. Water in rivers, creeks,
and canals soon becomes inhabited
by myriads Of organized matter,
and this organized matter is carried
by the water to the plants. They
form the best of plant food.
What is the case of rain. It has
no elements Of rock on the salts.
Nor has it any organized matter.
Hence plants have to draw on the
soil and air for their food.

Melbourne, the rain maker. failed
to make connections at Nampa
with the heavenly water por er, and

attributed to the peculiar air cur

Melbourne failed to make the
heavens weep at Nampa. When
he took look at some of those
Nampa fellows who have been
strangers to water for the past
eighteen or twenty years, doubtless
his heart sank within him. He
should be very careful about tack

The rain wizard was not equal to
the task of laying the dust in the
town of Nampa and the people
there continue to 90 to Jimmy

threats. We are sorry the people
of that enterprising town lost the
benefit of the extensive advertising
they would have received had Mel

peared at Nampa, last Tuesday,
according to particulars on the

liver given amount of rain, for
stipulated price, was not glitter.
ing success, Nampa donned her
holiday attire, and the entire sur
rounding country emptied itself
into her streets to witness the sue
cess or failure of the wizard of the
clouds.-Idaho Falls Register.
News received from Nampa last
evening was to the effect that Mel.
bourne, the rain king, had given
up all hopes of producing a shower
and had "folded his tent, like the
Arab, and silently stole away" If
the gentleman had been permitted
to take his own time no doubt there
would have been rain, but he was
limited to Thursday noon. The
idea of this man being able to con-
jure up storm by the use of chem
icals or anything else that could be
confined within the limits of his
tent on a housetop, is too absurd
for anything. Rain has been in
duced to fall in consequence of the
smoke and conclusion of a great
battle or q Fourth of July celebra-
ton. There are philosophical
reasons for such phenomena. Mr..
Melbourne might be in communica-
ton with scientific men, who can
