The dog tax of the last legislature
may be a good move, but it seems to
have no force i'll preventing the
slaughter of sheep by these rowing
ours. Hardly week passes without
the record of the tearing and mangling
of a fue flock of sheep by rowing dogs.
More damage of this kind has been
on record the past season than in any
previous year with or without "dog
law" The last is flock Of twenty
sheep, owned by Isaac It. Titcomb,
Norway, all terribly torn but three.
Revenue from dogs is not what is
wanted, but a law that will be eifec-
tive in preventing the destruction OF
the sheep. Dogs are actually driving
out the sheep industry from large
part of the State. A tax that brings
no protection fails to reach the case

EDS. ADVOCATE:
The decision Of the Court of APP
peals in the Worlds Fair case has ex-
cited most interest this week. The
Court, inan opinion by Judge Holt,
Judge Pryor dissenting, and Judge
Bennett delivering a separate opinion,
holds the act appropriatiug 100000
for the Worlds Fair, unconstitutional,
on the ground that upon its final pas
sage, that is, the last vote taken on
the bill az amended, did not receive
the majority required by the Constitu-
ton for bills appropriatimg money out
of the Treasury.
This decision will put at rest COLI
flicting opinions in the House and
Senate, and guide the General Assem-
bly, in their future work. 1t is thought
possibly this opinion will condemn in
its comprehensiveness the Election
Law and other acts passed in he
same manner as the Worlds Fair
Bill. 'T
1t is believed this whole question
grew out of the enmity between the
| Auditor and Governor. and that MIR.
Norman was actuated not solely by
| the sublime promptings of patriotic
love for the taxpayer, but hate for
the Executive, and willingness to EN-
barass him, was spiteful but potent
counselor at his elbow.

He Wasn't Panurious.

under foot and nearly robbed of its
former semblance to that clean, fluffy,
inviting bed in which boys delight to
roll and tumble. The owner of that
penny first kicked the noisome mess
about with his foot. He did not find
the penny and endeavored to look in.
different, but his face wore panied,
uncomfortable sort of expression. He
couldn't endure the suspense any
longer and forthwith he began to claw
about in the dirty straw with his
hands. He picked it up in small lots
and shook it in the vain hope that the
missing penny would drop out. He
spent at least twenty minutes of the
half hours ride and then gave it up in
despair. Our curiosity was aroused.
Is that man penurious? No, for he soon
spent twenty-five cents for two cigars
and thirty cents for two drinks OF
whisky for himself and chance ac
quaintance. He bought paper and
gave the boy a nickel, declining to
take the three cents change. He
wasn't penurious; he wanted to know
where that cent went to, and it vexed
his soul because the elusive coin could
not be found. Albany Argus.

sashes That Are the Mode.

The new sashes which are to be ash.
lonable next season are very wide, very
elegant, and not so very expensive, con-
sidcring their quality and device. Five
yards are often used where the wearer
is tall and elects for the Louis Ouinze
sash, the ends of which reach quite to
the foot of the dress skirt. Some of the
new Russian 5louses for young girls
are made of the gay Persian sash-rib-
bons, with trimming of the same at
the hem of the dress skirt, or showing
as a simulated petticoat between the
slashings of the outside skirt with a
sash of the same at the back of the
blouse. or looped at one side if pre-
ferred. The rich Louis XIV. sashes
show wide stripes of watered silks al
ternatlng with those of silk or
satin, with bright pompadour figures
scattered in artistic groups down these
stripes The floral patterns in some of
these beautiful novelties are exquisite
ly colored and blended. Shot-sills
sashes are shown in which violet
changes into gold, white into silvery
blue, gray into Roman red, olive into
rose and gold, black into gold and ecru
into gold and palest water-green.-N.

Three mortal hours that man worked

emphatic exclamation of disgust, de-
clared that no living man could put all
those things into that cupboard with
out piling all sorts of things together,
and this he proceeded to do. When ali
was finished, his wife asked him for
certain dishes with which TO prepare
the table for lunch, as it SO happened
that they were without servant.
With possibly spice of malice, she
asked for those dishes which were at
the bottom of the pile, on the back
part OF the shelf. To get them it was
necessary to move all the dishes in
front and almost entirely disturb the
contents of the shelf That man went
to his office more weary and a wiser
man than when he left it the day be-
fore. He had grumbled at the cost of
building cupboards and closets when
