Whipped in the Courtroom.

A new method of Furnishing bad boys
was invented by Kentucky judge the
other day. Eight negro lads from eight
to fourteen years of age were caught
breaking into a house, and the Judge
who tried them and found them guilty
told the mothers of the boys that if
they would whip them publicly in
the courtroom, the little fellows would
not be sent to the penitetiary. So at
an appointed time space was cleared
in front of the judges desk in the
courtroom. and the mothers of the
eight culprits, armed with rawhides,
began the punishment. The blows
fell thick and fast, and in more than
one instance the punishment was so
severe that blood was drawn. Once
the judge thought it his duty to inter-
fere and prevent the whipping from be.
coming too brutal. The mothers evil
IDENTIFY were determined to do their
whole duty, for the beating continued
until the judge stopped the affair, and
the bowling little darkies were led
down the street towards their homes.
Whether the whipping was continued
in the privacy of the negro cabins the
account does not relate. A large crowd
witnessed the punishment in the court
room.

PesTlFERoUs INSECTS.
they Are the Cause Of Many Fatal Dls'
orders Of Cattle.


The man who finds the unwelcome
attentions of the mosquito so eXasper-
ating may well think of what his an
imals suffer, exposed as they are, not
only to this pestiferous insect, but to
others which, as compared to this, are
as the sharpest knives to the smallest
pins, or the sting of hornet or wasp
to the bite of the invisible gnat. The
biting and blood-sucking insects that
worry the wretched beasts at this sea-
son are a thousand times worse than
this comparatively tolerable nuisance,
and this worry costs the farmer mil
lions of dollars in the aggregate. All
the losses by that fatal disorder to cat
tie, the Texas fever, says the New York
Times, are due to tick that buries its
head in the skin and sucks the blood,
infnsing n deadly poison into the ami
NAL, the purpose of which is supposed
70 be the greater liquefaction of the
blood that it may flow more easily.
There is, too, the fatal screw worm
that eats its way through the miser-
able victim and kills it by slow de-
grees, literally eating it alive. The
bot flies that torment the herds and
the aocks; the stable flies, the green
headed horse fly, and many others are
all busy at this time in making the
farm animals wretched; but how few
ownees there are that heed this fact,
while they complain loudly of the small
worries of one or two mosquitoes that
disturb their comfort
The careless owner of these perse-
cuted animals should think of this, and
take all means to ease their worries
and torrents. This is the duty of a
mevely humane man, but it is the bust
ness of the man whose income depends
upon the products of the work OF
his live stock to avoid the pecuniary
losses caused by the sufferings of his
beasts. These may be largely avoided
and the comfort of the animals in
sured by feeding in the stables, and the
partial or complete soiling by means
of fodder crops grown for the purpose
and thus fed during the fly season.

house. 1t is between three and four
feet in height and broad in proportion.
Upon one end there is a square OPEN
ing for Dandy to enter.
One does not wonder that it requires
so many spare evenings to build the
house, for the accredited patience of
Job doesn't go any distance to speak of
compared with the patience it must
have required to put together so per-
fectly every detail of this pug's dwell
ing.
The miniature clapboards and shin
giles, perfectly in place, are monuments
to painstaking and patience. There
are upon the roof of the house over
5000 little shingles.
In pair of window blinds there are
more than 60 tiny Stats. The blinds are
exact copies of full-sized ones, even to
the bass fastenings and hinges. These
very small brass hinges and fastenings
were carefully whitfield out of odd
pieces of brass.
The window sills and windows are
no make believe" portions of the
house, for the windows have panes of
glass about 119x2% inches in them, and
they fit the frames and sills exactly.
Moreover the festive house fly will not
be able to alight on Dandy's nose
when he is trying to take an after-din-
ner nap, for these windows are sup
piled with well-ftting fiy-screens.
The sanitary conditions of Dandy's
house have also been carefully ar
ranged. There is full set of cutters
and conductors. The heating appara-
tus hasn't been put in yet. Electric
bells and steam heat also will be added.
In the front of the gable of the house
there is round piece OF colored glass,
and on the front of the house. at what
may be called the base of the gable,
there is inlaid in ebony letters into
tulip wood: Dandy cottage"
The color of the cottage is yellow,
with white trimmings and brown roof.
1t has double doors in front, with neat
panelling and colored glass, brass
knobs. and brass-handled bell is on
the left of the doors.
Dandy is so proud of his new home
that he scarcely deigns to associate
with other Somerville dogs, and less
fortunate pugs have his special con-
tempt.

FOR YOUNG PEOPLE.
DANDY'S COTTAGE.

The Luxurious Home of somerville
(Mass.) Pet Pug.
A fat little pug of Somerville has one
of the most unique homes of any dog il
Massachusetts. 1t is question if any
other in the state has such a home.
This little Somerville dogs name is
Dandy, and he is owned by Mr. and
Mrs. John II. MacAlman.
Dandy is now about seven years old,
and his house has just been completed,
after more than three years work on
it. OF course, the work on it has not
been continuous.
A friend of Mr.. and Mrs. MacAlman,
who is carriage builder of Somerville,
likes to have something to occupy his
spare moments in the evening after his
days work is finished.
So this friend has been doing little
work on the house in his spare even
ings for many months.
The exterior of this house is a per-
feet model of a full-sized dwelling

At that rate. the sense of feeling

the sun to the earth, and that is an
unlikely age for anyone to live now

If the whole sea were formed into a
round column reaching to the sun, the
diameter of the column would be near
ly "a miles, while the Pacific would
form 53,000.O00 miles of its total length
of 81, 000,0 900, and the Atlantic Is, 600, 200
miles
If the column was of ice, and the en-
tire heat of the sun could be concen-
trated upon it. it would all be melted
IN one second and converted into steam
in eight seconds.
These figures enable us to arrive at
some stupendous results in discussing
not only the size of the sea, but the
heat of the sun.-Golden Days.

Two men became engaged in a fight

other had a thick heed Of kclr. The

SECTION OF rnE-pRArNEp LAND.

Should a section of an underdrain be
examined few hours after heavy
shower, the soil Immediately over and
in contact with the upper side of the
tile will be found quite dry, while the
nearer the bottom of the tile is APP
preached, the greater amount of moist
ure will be found while at the bottom
it will be completely water soaked.
Hence, it is useless to place sods or
other porous material over the top of
tile at the joints, for the purpose Of
allowing the water to enter. In fact,
sod, hay. straw or other vegetable mat
ter is the very worst covering to use.
as it is only a matter of few months
when it will perish, leaving a greater
or less space, that in time particles of
earth will fall or wash into, and very
much of this loose material finds it's
way into the drain, often causing stop
page and trouble. For horseshoe tile,
a covering of piece of tough paper at
the joints, is the best thing possible,
and may extend down the sides to
within half an inch of the bottom.
Often, by turning a tile end for end, q
better joint is made. Fit them close.

Novel and Instructive.
There are not many people who, if
they were to be asked the question,
could tell the size of the salt waters
of the earth. The figures are so great
that they could only say, with Dominic
Sampson: "Prodigious!" And yet some
illustrations may be given and com
PARSONS made as to the size of the sea.
which will be found both novel and
interesting.
The whole sea is composed of the
Atlantic and Pacific, the Indian ocean,
the Arctic and Antarctic seas, and
various smaller bodies of water. 1t
has an area of 140, 900. 900 square miles,
and would form a circle of Is, $50 miles
in diameter.
The relative size of the areas OF the
whole surface of the earth. of the
whole sea. of the Pacific and of the
Atlantic. can be represented by silver
dollar for the surface of the earth.
half dollar for the surface of the whole
sea, a twenty-five cent piece for the
surface of the Pacific, and silver half
dime for the surface of the Atlantic.
The number of gallons of water in
the Pacific is 100000, coo, 900, 600 an
amount which would take 1000 900
years to pass over the Falls of Niagara,
and yet, if it was put into a sphere. the
whole of the Pacific would only meas
ure 72G miles across
The number OF cubic feet in the At
lantic is III, followed by seventeen
ciphers, a number that, counting one
foot at a time. would be licked off by
200. 900 clocks in $40 900 wears,
The Pacific could contain the At
lantic bodily nearly three times ii
the Atlantic were made to fl a
circular pipe reaching from the earth
to the sun, the diameter of the pipe
would have to be little over mile,
while that of pipe of similar length
to contain the Pacific would have to be
almost two miles.
Incidentally it may be said that the
distance TO the sun is so great that, if a
child was born with an arm long
enough to reach the sun, ii would not
live long enough to know it had
touched it, for sensation passes along
