Down on Dogs.

An aged lady who died recently in a
Connecticut town left the income of
800, 900 to be used in house painting
All who applied to have their houses
painted should have it done free, pro-
vided they could prove they had not
kept q dog in two years and make oath
that they will not keep one in future.
The will adds, mo habit has a more
deadly hold on mankind than that of
dog keeping, which is itself a proof that
it ought to be crushed out"
The story is so good that it ought to
be true if it is not. But even if it is
true the old lady's heirs will probably
break the will on the ground that the
testatrix was crazy. But was she so
crazy? One easily understands how she
arrived step by step in her mind at the
conclusion that dogs should be abolished
She was a lone woman, living in city
fat, or in a house with two or three
families, or in boarding house. She
had suffered torture from the fieas, the
smells, the dog hairs seq tered about
promiscuously by the dirty little beasts
kept there by wamen who have nothing
useful to do. At least, if they have any
thing useful to do they neglect it and
spend their time over the dogs. The
old lady had witnessed the spectacle OF
large woman leading a very small
sick dog about the streets with string.
She had seen these ladies hold the beasts
face up against their own and heard
them exclaim rapturously, kiss YOU
mother, Tinyr Then she got sick, ant
Just went off and made that will.
She crazy? She was the sanest woman
of her time.

Tie demand for Roquefort cheese has
become 50 great that trickery now plays
part in the ripening process. The
peasants have learned that "time is
money" and they have found that bread
crumbs mixed with the curd cause those
green streaks of moldiress which de-
note that the cheese is fit for the mar
ket, to appear much more readily than
was formerly the case, when it was left
to do the best 1t could for itself with
the aid of subterranean atmosphere.
This is not exactly cheating; it is com
mercial enterprise, the result of com
petition and other circumstances too
strong fon poor human nature. In
cheesemakiag breadcrumbs are found
to be a cheap substitute for time, and it
is said that those who have taken to beer
brewing in this region have found that
box, which here is the commonest Of
shrubs, is cheap substitute for hops.
The notion that brass pins are stuck into
Roquefort cheese to make it turn green
is founded on fction.-Temple Bar.

WHY THIS CHANGE OF HEART

The Reveille has withdrawn the
the Republican county ticket from It's
editorial column and has given notice
that it will not support all the nomi-
nees. The Express ceased printing the
ticket some time ago, evidently fearing
that its publication might be mistaken
for support and possibly keep a few
dollars out of its cash box, and now 1t
comes out in support (?) of Mr.. Staight,
the Democratic nominee for auditor.
Taken in connection with the fact that
a few weeks ago it strongly endorsed
Mr.. Collier for denomination the infer
ence is obvious. Both these papers
have boosted much of their straight"
Republicanism and have been quick
to note and condemn in Others the
slightest deviation from strict party
lines. Why then this change OF heart
at this time? The Reveille has
long been looked upon as the
leading party paper OF Tue
county seat. 1t has long been the IA
vorite organ of the men who have been
most prominent in the politics OF the
county, and has received thousands Of
dollars for work done for Republican
officials. The same convention that
nominated the ticket which it now
withdraws from its columns elected 1T
editor delegate to the state conven
ton, and the delegation made him it
chairman, and Immediately after The
county ticket was nominated thu
Reveille approved it editorially, with
out reservation. In the light of thes'
facts it will be far from easy for GU
contemporary to assign what consist
ent men, irrespective of politics, woul'
consider a reasonable excuse for 1t

They say they can grow sugar along
their strip enough to supply the whole
United States-the members of that
100000 syndicate that is going to
drain the st. Johns and Indian rivers in
Florida. The swamp is eighty-three
miles long and from three to six miles
wide. The syndicate bought all this
land for a few cents per acre and ex-
poets to finish draining it in two years
The soil is covered with a rich loan
three feet thick. The company will not
wait till the work is completed before
beginning to plant sugar cane, but will
drain in sections, and as fast as one Sec
ton is finished it will be put under cul-
tivation. Here is an enterprise which
will give employment to hundreds of
men and enrich the state of Florida by
millions as we'll as add to the supply of
an article of consumption which every
body must have. This is one of the I'M
dertakings that attest the true greatness
and civilization of our age. AS benev-
olent and reformatory work its value is
incalculable.

The Worlds Hymns.

1t appears that there have been writ
ten altogether no less than 400, 900 Chris
tan hymns. OF these "Julian's Die
tionary of Hymnology" makes mention
of 10000. Mr.. Julian is of opinion that
Charles Wesley is the hymn writer of
the ages, though this would be disputed
by Protestant Germans no doubt. They
would place Martin Luther at the head
of hymn writer's Luther gave to the
world thirty-seven sacred songs, of
which the noblest is that grand rolling
rhythm, "Eine feste Burg ist unser
Gott," which Frederick the Great said
was "God Almighty's grenadier march"
OF the 10000 hymns in the Julian die
tionary nobody will be surprised to
learn that $500 begin with "Oh" and
1870 with And" 1t was not from the
Established church in England that
the most inspiring and musical Prot
estant hymns came. The credit be-
longs to the comeouters, the Methodists
Qissenters, etc.-such men as Isaac
Watts, the Wesleys and DR.. Doddridge
Charles Wesley alone wrote $500
James Edmeston, an architect. wrote
1000, Watts 400 and Charlotte Elliott
$50. Henry Francis Lyle wrote Ito
hymns, among them the beautiful one
beginning Abide with me-
What was once considered deeply de-
votional and poetic would not always
be the correct thing in the hymnology
of our time For instance, an old YER
sion of part of the musical service for
Palm Sunday says:
Be thou. o Lord, the Rider,
And we the little ass;
That to Gods holy city
Together we may pass.
Herrick wrote "Litany to the Holy
! Spirit, in which were these stanzas:
When the artless doctor sees
No one hope. but of his fees,
And his skill runs on the lees,

liz Milford, Mass, II is GLANCED that
improvements have been made in the
storage battery street car system which
make this kind of electric car cheaper
than horse cars. This news will be
welcomed in cities where the overhead
trolley system is not practicable. One
of the improvements made consists in
an arrangement enabling the car to run

are million bad roads in the United

not stated, probably because it was so
small that the statistician could not find
it. Colonel Albert Pope would like to

An advocate for winterlng bees III
cellar. Charles Zillmer by name, ID
naner read before a Wisconsin meeting
of beekeepers, gave reasons for his pref
erence for indoor wintering. The lead
ing one was that in good, dry cellar
- 60. - = sSehlperaforg -, be most easliy
maintained during the winter iseslsolf'
and the warm spells in February, while
making a decided impression on bees
wintered out Of doors or in house
masses without any effect to bees IN eel
lars. .
He said on the subject Of chait hives;
ssTbese hives do not let the heat in as
ouicltlv as do others, but when the heat
& once in there it stays; the bees IN chaif
hives consume from twenty to twenty
five pounds more Of honey during the
winter than those wintered IN cellar.
In single walled hives the cost IS about
half as much as it would be IN a chan
hive. and one can save enough honey on
fftv-nine colonies wintered Ia a cellar
ina6ne year to build a good cellar.
1t must be remembered that the WIN
ters IN Mr.. Zillmer's locality are very
cold. hence a good cellar is the safest
Mace in which to winter his bees Inc
important points in successful wlntering
in cellars are, The avoidance Of eXces-
sive moisture and the maintenance OF a

bic from November to April.

The discussion as to abundance of hair
being evidence of strength has again
come up. some arguing that there was
nothing novel in Samson's strength being
in his hair. and others that as rule the
strongest men are least blessed with an
abundant hair covering. There are
necessarily exceptions to all rules, but
most freaks Of strength Of modern times
have luxuriant hair. There are five OF
six women now travelling with dime
museum shows, lifting enormous
weights with their hands or teeth, and
performing other extraordinary feats Of
strength, and nearly all of them have
magnificent heads of hair.
Among prize fighters the same rule
applies. and although athletes generally
keen their hair cut very close to the
head. they usually have a very thick
growth Of hair and are seldom bald.
Ancient history is delved into great
deal in the discussion, but the fact re-
mains that the strongest men Of today
have in almost every instance not only
heavy heads Of hair, but also quite a
substantial growth on the chest and
arms. It may be that excessive bodily
viaor and activity promote the growth
of hair. or that the hair itself isan evl
dence Of strength, but whichever may
be the cause and the effect, the combi-
nation exists as a very general rule. -

Keeping Corn Fodder.

Corn fodder keeps well when properly
shocked in the field, although there IS
some loss from exposure to the weather
INT this would not deserve to be taken
into consideration if it were the only OBJ
lection. Often it is desired to seed the
field to wheat, when the corn shocks are
found to be greatly in the way, Then
hauling it off to be fed in the winter as
Il is wanted must generally be done IN
der such unfaxorable conditions OF eie
weather and the soil as to make it a very
lisaareeable business. 1 aim to husk my
corn and haul the stalks from the held

Tho Cow in a Double Capacity.

occurred these statements: Il contended

cheese. beef and stock. In fact, an una
dulterated, genuine, simon, pure general
