German Police.

In his valuable work on Germany and
the Germans, 4" Mr. W. II. Dawson dilates
upon the all powerful police, who usurp
legal functions which would never be in
trusted to them in England or America.
Rickety gates and doors, insecure sign
boards and neglected gas lamps receive
prompt care from the vigilant German
constable, who may also assert fargoing
authority in private houses. He super
vises the nightly locking Of your street
door at sufficiently early hour. He sees
that you have your chimney regularly
cleaned. though chimney sweeping is often
done under the direct supervision of the
police authority, which sends its OVID men
at its own time.
He examines your stove periodically,
and while he is about it may inspect other
matters of domestic economy, your outer
locks, pump handles and ash pit doors.
Probably if il is summer he will also take
stroll around the fruit garden and spend
a profitable half hour in search for cater
pillars. In some places singing and piano
playing with open windows are forbidden,
and it is a common house regulation in
large towns that pianos shall lie closed
punCtually at 10 O'Clock in the evening,

KICKING FOR AN HOUR.

AT the last meeting of the school board q
petition was presented from the board of
health requesting the school board TO ex-
tend the time for lunch in the high school
from twenty minutes to one hour on
account of the injurious effects which are
caused by the children being rushed to
death by trying to go home within the
prescribed twenty minutes and get their
lunch and return in time so as not TO be
marked tardy. The board very unceremo-
niously referred the petition to commit
tee who must have pigeon holed it as moth
ing has been heard of it since il vas pre-
sented, and great deal of complaint has
arisen because the board did not immedi-
ately act upon the petition, as it is gem
orally supposed that regularly appointed
board of health is better able to judge
what Is best for the school children than
those who are not conveTsant with medic
inal affairs. There are five or six scnool
children who are now Ill and IL has been
attributed directly TO the rush with which
they partook of their monday meal.

Mr. Il. S. Cook, not being satisfied with
the many prizes which he carried off last
fall aC the worlds fair, started out last
Thursday with big car load of fine young
stock to carry off more. honors at all the
big western state fairs. He has as fine Il
lot Of choice stock as one could desire 10
see. There were about thirty head in all
among which were some OF those that won
him his hOnorS and big money AT the fair
last October, and their offspring. He
goes first to the Iowa state fair at Dies
Moines, then to the Nebraska state fair at
Lincoln. From there he goes TO the Hi
nois state fair at Springfield and takes in
the St. Louis fair on his return. where he
expects to win big prizes. He will be gone
about six weeks, returning about
the Sth of October. Mr.. Cook de
serves great credit for his vast undertak-
ing in the face OF such financial
depressions, but it was through his enter
prising genius that he has established such
d famous record as "A fine stock breeder, in

JudCe and jury.

Some good stories are going the rounds
concerning the late Sir Matthew Begbie,
chief justice Of British Columbia. Here
is one of them:
In 1883 a man was charged in Victoria
with having killed another man with a
ssndbag, and in the face Of the judges
summing up the jury brought II a verdict
Of Not guilty. This annoyed the chief
justice who at once said:
Gentlemen Of the jury, mind, that is
your verdict, not mine On your con
science viii rest the stigma Of returning
such disgraeefuI verdict. Many repeti-
tions OF such conducr a. yours VIII make
trial by jury horrible farce and the city
Of Victoria nest Of inlm oraiity and crime.

And then turning to the prisoner the
chief justice added: You are discharged.

HOUSEHOLD TYRANTS.
A Young Wounan's Advice rs to How They
Should BE Treated.


I am opposed to the household tyrants,
be they men or women, but think that
the latter show TO little the worst advan-
tage of the two.
If they would only confine their dicta-
torship to the privacy of their own apart
ments, il mightn't be so bad, but they
don't do that
They love co show their authority pub
licly, and the larger the audience the great

He has had IS much as 10 minutes OF

that he is man and owns himself again,

Tire the Conductors.

Conductors of the trains running through
the Pennsylvania coke regions dread the
Hungarian and Italian passengers. They
seldom ride long distances, and they never
buy their tickets before boarding the train.
The great travelling day with these people
is Sunday, when they go in parties Of a
dozen or more TO visit friends in neighbor-
ing settlements. They take particular
pains to hand the conductor s. note or
perhaps one Of sic. out Of which TO take

The OLD MAN WANTED GAS.
Why He Wanted 1t and Why He Was
Moved to Tears.

An old man with knowing look and
big black satchel registered at an up town
hotel the other day and was shown to his
room. He was quiet and remained in his
room most of the day. At night he came
down to supper and after that went out
for a walk He came back about 9 clock
and went to bed.
In about 90 minutes bellboy came run
ming down and told the clerk that there
was man up on the third floor walking
around in his nightshirt. The clerk hts-
tied up and found the old man parading
up and down the hall, swearing loudly.

earth's the matter with youT'

Looking for gas? What in thunder do

August since the station was established
in 1855
The highest temperature was 100 de-
grees on the 18th, and the lowest %
degrees on the 4tb.
These extremes have been surpassed, for
on August s, 1890, the temperature was
l02 degrees, and on August %. 1893, it
WAS A.
In the matter of rainfall the month Just
past was very deficient The average is
3D. inches, but we had only "a inch, or
rs inches less than the average. This Is
less than the rainfall of any previous
August except one, viz: 1891, when it was
only 30 inch In 1888 the rainfall for
August was ~ inches.
During August there are usually eight
rainy days, but this year there were but
three.
There were but three thunder storms;
last year there were seven.
There were only five cloudy days;
twenty-five were clear.
The wind was almost always light dur
ing the entire month, and blew mostly
from the south. There was very little hot
wind. The month was perfectly hot, calm,
dry and clear.
