He Worms Tobacco.

Speaking of funny things, says the
Chicago Times, did you ever hear of Il
wonderful dog that is owned by John
A. Durr, who lives at Varnardall, a lit
tie settlement in Mercer County, Ken
lucky? This dog beats Dick Bruce's
and Tom Quinlins dogs all hollow. He
is worth his weight in gold He worms
tobacco He begins at the end of row
and goes down the line at lively gait,
and no worm is left to tell the tale Of
the desolation wrought. The dog
learned this trick by following Durr's
little boys. When the boys would start
down the row the dog would follow
after.
After watching the youngsters for
several days the dog caught on to the
work himself and took a great liking to
it. One day Durr went to his tobacco
patch and found his boys playing in the
shade, which was not a strange thing
for boys to do. "Why amt you worm
ing tobacco?' he yelled. "Ned's doing
it," they yelled back. Durr went to the
patch and found the big pointer dog
busily engaged in worming the plants,
and he was doing it faster than both
the boys could have done. Durr was
tickled. After his own patch had been
wormed he hired the dog out to his
neighbors at 81 a day.

Changing the Australian Ballot.

1t appears that in Australia, which
originated and gave the name to the
kind Of ballOting now so generally in
use in this country, they have made a
peculiar change in their own system.
Under it voter may indicate his first
and second choice for a candidate by
marking against names upon ticket
the numbers and respectively. III
this way, if the candidate marked / has
only q scattering vote in comparison
with others, his votes may be trans
ferred to the candidate marked 2 If
those votes be sufficient to elect the lat
ter over a candidate who was not mark
ed for by these voters with any num-
her To illustrate its operation in our
State, the Prohibition or Populist vote
would be counted for the Republican
or the Democratic candidate, provided
the figure 2 was placed against such
candidate on the ballot. 1t is a curious
way of enabling a man to vote to sus,
tain a principle by his first preference
in voting and yet to utilize his vote be-.
tv cen two other candidates at the same
time.-Boston Herald.

TRICK OF THE BOOK TRADE.

Low Prices DO Not Necessarily Mean
Loss to the Publisher.
Did 1t ever occur to you what Il re-
proach to some publishers and some Of
their methods the book store bargain
counter is? says the Rochester Demo
crat and Chronicle. Somebody is los
ing money on these dollar books for
10 cents" and 1t is not the publisher.
Retailers in the book trade buy by list,
not by sample, and publishing house
in fair way of business can count on
selling to the trade a pretty large edi-
ton Of pretty nearly anything 1t chooses
to publish. 1t is to be feared that once
in a while they take advantage Of this
fact to the loss of the booksellers. They
have been known to take, for instance,
an advertisement for some well-known
summer resort that, having been writ
ten by somewhat famous author in
the guise Of short story, has been pre-
sented to the public as literature by
first-rate magazine, possibly by virtue
of pecunlary arrangement with the
publishers thereof, and made reasona-
bly, stable book of it by using big type,
double leads, wide margins and many
cheap process illustrations. They glld
the edges Of the leaves, disguise the
cheap muslins of the cover with a
sprawling design in gold, wherein
quotation from Shakespeare and the
writer's well-known name figure prom
inently and announce to the trade,
blue, Unclouded Weather, a Romance
of Old Point Comfort, by Popular Au-
thor, Esq. Edition de luxe; $3.50; rs
off 100; 60 off rs; 80 off 80; 80 and 10 on
small orders. No returns" And every
bookseller in the land on the strength
Of the authors name and the expected
Christmas trade, orders from FIVE to
100 copies, according to the size of his
establishment, and uses bad language as
soon as he sees them. He knows they
will not sell. Even their outside is un-
attractive.
They cost the publishers, exclusive of
royalty, from % cents to 80 cents
apiece, according to the size of the edi-
ton issued, and they have an unmis-
taxable air Of cheapness about them.
TO put such books on his counter
marked $3.50 is almost an insult to the
intelligence of his customers, but he
does So And there the never-dimin-
ishing pile stays, for the public can pro-
tect itself against this sort of imposi-
ton, although the bookseller cannot,
until it comes to the bargain counter,
and blue, Unclouded Weather" finds
few purchasers at II cents Il volume.
And the bookseller igues up how much
he has lost on 1t and goes on ordering
by list without knowing what he is
going to get. Such is one of the rea-
sons all booksellers do not retire on
princely fortunes within five years or
so after starting in business.

For ANY Boy of Fourteen.


If you can, always play q game in
preference to simply going through a
lot Of mechanical movements. A game
exercises your head, rests your mind,
and helps you immensely. Whereas,
while pully weights help you, they only
help you to about half the extent that n
game does. If, finally, you happen to
be near q gymnasium, and cannot get
any exercise out of doors, then go to
the gymnasium. Now to particularize
q little on the special work of boys in
special employments. Suppose you are
not very strong, and you are so employ
ed during the day that you have to sit
down all the time. OF course you need
exercise Of the mind that will keep
your body moving. l should advise
you, then, to take ten minutes off Just
at nightfall. Put on light garments,
say pair Of low shoes, pair of draw
ers cut off at the knee and an under
shirt; nothing more. Then go out into
quiet streets, or into the country roads,
and beginning slowly, run half a mile.
Come in at once, run to the bath, and
every soul on earth in civilized coun
tries can have bath if he really wants
one. Then rub yourself down hard
with towel and dress yourself. 1 say
half a mile. Do that first. Soon you
will be able to do five miles, if you have
time, but a good half-miIe run each
night Of your life will save many pain
