HAMPSHIRE, July 4.-Some few week s
ago the stOre-hOuse of A. j. Pugh was
robbed of a fresh supply of groceries
and dry goods; this being the second
time this year. The thieves covered
up their theft so closely that it was
thought to be lost ball, but Mr.. Pugh
offered a reward publicly in presence of
Lee Ensler, who said if he would give
him the fifteen dollars reward, he would
tell him who took his goods. This Mr..
PUgh agreed to. Ensler said: al was
one and Joe Lane and Dennis Vaughn
were the others" MIR. Pugh got out war
rants and soon captured Joe Lane. Lane
Is forty-eight years old. The officers
started for Dennis Vaughn, but he out

The PREHENslLE ORGANS.
Their Possession Is an Index to tho Ami
mnl IntellIRence.


The possession of an effective prehen-
silc organ--a hand or its equivalent
seems to be the first great requisite for
tho evolution of high order of intel
lcct. Man and the monkeys, for exam
pie, have pair of hands; and in their
case one can see at u glance how de-
pendent is their intelligence upon these
grasping organs. All human arts base
themselves ultimately upon the hu-
man hand; and even the apes APP
proach nearest to humanity in vir-
tue Of their ever-active and busy
little fingers. The elephant again,
has his flexible trunk, which, rs we
have all heard over and over again, is
equally well adapted to pick up pin or
to break the great boughs of tropical
forest trees. (That pin, in particular,
is now woll-worn classic). The SPUR
rel once more, celebrated for his unus-
ual intelligence when judged by a
rodent standard, uses his pretty little
paws as veritable hands by which he
| can grasp n nut or fruit all around, and
50 gain in his small mind clear CON
| ceptiun of it's true shape and properties.
| Throughout the animal Kingdom gen
orally, indeed, this correspondence, or
rather this chain OF causation, makes
itself everywhere felt; no high intclli-
gence without highly developed pre-
| hcnsilc and grusping organ.
| Perhaps the opossum is the very best
and most crucial instance that could
possibly be adduced of the intimate con-
nection which exists between touch and
intellect. For the opossum is n marsu-
ptal it belongs to the same group OF
| lowly-organized, antiquated, and pouch
bearing animals as the kangaroo, the
wombnt, and the other belated Aus
trllian mammals. Now everybody
knows the marsupials as a class are
nothing short of preternaturally
stupid. They are just about the
very dullcst and sillicst OF
all existing qundrupcds. And this
is reasonable enough, when one comes
70 think of it. for they represent a very
antique and carly type, the first rough
sketch of the mammalian idea, if | may
so describe them, with wits unsharp
encd as yet by contact with the worlt
in the fierce competition of the strug
gle for life AZ it displays itself on tn,
crowded stage of the great continents
They stand, in short, to the lions anC
tigers, the elephants and horses, th'
monkeys and squirrels of Europe anC

Avoiding Potato scab.

After series of experiments Prof.
Bolley of the North Dakota station
comes to the conclusion that he can
avoid the production of scabby potatoes
if he cannot entirely eradicate the dis
ease. He finds no substantial evidence
that any soil OF whatsoever kind can in
itself give origin TO the disease. But
the disease-germ can and does remain
in the ground from crop to crop for at
least four years. Scabby or disease
bearing seed tubers can and will under
ordinary circumstances produce a dis
eased crop. But soaking the seed
tubers before planting in chemical solu-
tions enabled him to raise an undiseased
product from the scabbiest of seed
where the ground was known to be
free from the disease. Seed tubers free
from the disease germs will in any soil
clay, sand or muck, raise an undis.
eased produce, provided only that the
soils themselves are free of the dis
ease. American Farmer.

Sheep Make Good Pastures.

Sheep make good pastures by keeping
down weeds. They will clean out Il
weed patch if confined to it. They will
eat up all waste vegetables and grains.
Turned into stubblefield as soon as
grain is out of it, every head of loose
grain will be picked up and tips of all
weeds will soon be eaten. The plowiug
of the stubble will be easier and better
done, and the next crop will be better
for having been pastured by sheep.
Sheep should be on every farm, more
on less and they should be bred pure;
no mixing up; no trying to create bet
ter breed; we have enough breeds.
Only try TO improve the breed you have
and you will do we'll.
