No Good Reas7 On Why the N w Alder

No Good Reas IN Why the N w Alder
men Should elect the Of1c ers.
Editor Morning Ne,Os: notice in the
columns of the MORNING News that the
al ,ermen have been asked TO change the
time for electing city Ulcers; thatls, to pre-
vent the outgoing Joard from choosing them
and ma ing he duty of the new board to
say who shall be chosen.
am glad that here IS sufficient num-
Der OF aldermen who oppose the petition to
prevent it from becoming law, for il would
be WIZ ng step to take for more reasons
than one. In the first, let me
say that the very party vino
is at the very head and front of this move
ment had this very law passed, that Is to
make the outgoing board the electors OF
the officers, aad he did this because he held
Off ce at that time himself and for that
matter he has always held some office or
otber), and it suited his tenure of office then
to have tue old board elect the officers of
the city. But now he Il DIS II 10 his interest
and to the interest Of those he wishes to
serve, aud thus to control, that
this very law that he had passed
some years ago for his own ben eft
should be chan ed and that the new
board of aldermen should elect the city
officers instead OF the old board. l sincerely
hope that the law existing now will not be
changed until at least some positive and
palpaoe reasons be given for the change.
It appears to me, aid think it will DO clear
t. every right thinking citizen, that the
members Of the old board OF aldermen are
far more competent to judge who should fill
the offices Of the city than the members OF
a new. Iu the first place. the aldermen
who have served the city for two years
or more, as frequently occurs, know
who OF the city officers have hlled
their Offices in just and honest and taI b.
ful aud Intelligent manner, aud conse-
ouently would know which officers to retain

do was to pluck them and send them to
market in the morning.
with all hands busily engaged, we
finished the job by one q. M. stacking
up the plucked chickens on tables and
in corners 1t was melancholy task,
but we tried to console ourselves with
the reflection that the money
they brought for flesh and feathers
would purchase fair nucleus for a
new flock. So tired were we that none
of us woke up until after six, which is
pretty late for farmers was the first
to go down stairs To my ainazement
and horror the results of our labors Of
the previous evening had vanished. OF
the two hundred neatly picked fowls
which we had made ready for market,
not one remained. The kitchen door,
left accidentally unfastened the night
before. now swung wide. opening
through the woodshed to the garden,
and showed how the robbers had en-
tered.

there. in the garden, were all of our
chickens-two hundred of them,
plucked, but none the less alive-busily
scratching up the vegetables. A family
council, quickly summoned, found no
difficulty in analysing the situation.
Evidently the fowls had fed upon the
fermented cherries, which had thrown
where they could get them, and when
we supposed them dead, they were in
reality dead drunk. While we were
asleep, they had recovered their senses
and walked out of doors. Happily, none
of them seemed to be injured at all by
the process of plucking they had un-
dergone. The hens kept on laying just
as we'll and the ROSTERS were as proud
as ever. In fact, my mother afterwards
said that the feathers brought her con-
siderable profit, and she seemed to think
that perhaps chickens would yield bet
ter returns as matter Of ordinary BUSH
ness if they were deprived OF their
plumes, like sheep of their wool, at
judicious intervals. Washington Star

LIFE IN THE HEN YARD.


1.-THE incident of my life which i'm
pressed my mind most deeply was a
calamity that befell my immediate
family during my early boyhood," said
a government official recently. my
father was a farmer. We kept chick
ems, shout two hundred in number, the
eggs snd tender progeny of which were
sent +, market and furnished not in
considerable fraction of the family in
come.
'sOrc summer, at the season when
the fruit was ripe, my mother made a
great quantity of cherry bounce for
the brewing of which she was famous.
After completing the process, she di-
rectel me to throw the refuse of fer
mentsd cherries away and did so. /
threw the stuff near the chicken-houses,
thinking that the fowls might relish it.
Later on we heard great deal of ex.
citeo squawking from that direction,
but paid no particular attention to it.

THE SLING.
Nations That Have Used That Primitive
Weapon with Deadly Eject.

Nations That Have Used That Primitive
Weapon with Deadly Eject.
The sling was one Of the earliest in
ventions in the way of q weapon, and it
was an improvement on the stone
thrown by hand. which was the rudest
and most primitive method of fighting.
The sling is weapon made Of cord
or of hide, at the end Of which stone
more or less heavy is placed to be
thrown to distance. II is unneces-
sary to describe an instrument which is
in the hands Of every school boy, but it
may be stated that its principle is the
bringing into play the law of centrifn-
gal force The stone swung round in the
sling, tends to fly OF at q tangent, and
tightens the sling with an intensity
which is proportionate to the centrifugal
force, but is held back by the hand,
which, while whirling the sling around,
restraints the fight Of the charge it con-
tainR The stone escapes ut tangent
the instant the hand ceases to act
The inhabitants of Palestine made use
in very ancient times Of this dangerous
weapon, the most slxillful in its use be-
ing the tribe of Benjamin, whose boast
it was ne yer to miss their aim. What
makes their skill more surprising was
that they managed the sling with the
left hand. The men who came to
David's help at Zilxlag were no less
adroit. They used at will either the
right hand or the left The sling was
also the favorite weapon of shepherds,
who with it drove away wild beasts

David's victory over the giant less sur
prising, as he had, no doubt, great prac-
tice in the use of this instrument while
guarding his fathers sheep
1t has been said that the Asistic ma
tions excelled others in the use Of the
sling, and the singers Of an ancient
army used their little weapons with
terrible effect. These natives havs
such skill, y says one old historian, that
it very rarely happens that they miss
in the use of the sling is the training
given them from their earliest years by
their mothers. who set up piece Of
bread hung at the end of . rod for q
target, and let their children remain

when the child who is the victor re,
ceives the bread as the reward Of hiA

At later periods the Acarnaniaus were
considered the most skilled singers Of
Greece Their weapons were used moi
only to throw stones, but balls of lead,
and in some localities, especially in the
plain of Marathon, many Of these metal
projectiles have been found The relics
