True as Steel.

Some years ago in a Wisconsin
town, certain merchant obtained
Judgment against farmer and de-
sired the prestige to issue execution,
but stated that he supposed it would
be futile to levy inasmuch as the
judgment debtor was a brother Of
the sheriff. The justice replied,
"Never you mind; our sheriff will do
his duty The writ was made out
and handed to the sheriff. Toward
evening the sheriff arrived in town
driving three cows, which he had lev
led upon out Of his brothers estate,
after all attempts at averting the un-4
unpleasant duty had failed. But it
was noticed tear trickled down the
hardy features Of the sheriff as he
put the COWS up for the night. The
next morning the brother came to
town and redeemed his property,
having concluded that discretion
was the better part of valor." Upon
examination of the return on the writ
it was found that the sheriff's fees
and mileage had been waived-a saw
ing. of about $1,000.
The sheriff had gone nearly 40
miles and saved his brother consid
erable money but he did his duty.

The Board Of Health has Some
thing to Say on the Subject.

The Mad Dog Scare which exist.
ed for a short time in the village last
week, and the opinions expressed by
a number of persons as to what
sh ould be done under the circuln-
stances to the dog, makes it an op--.
perfume time for the Board uf Health
to give some advice to the public on
this question. FL d.
+ 1st. a TO prevent all trouble from
."mad dogs, 4 the best way would be
to compel the owners Of dogs run

muzzle them, under penalty Of pound
and fine, or slaughter on sight.

large, acting strangely and suspect h ted q
OF being "mad, ii possible catch and
,confine him in a comfortable place,
where he can be watched for a few
days when the character OF the dis
ease will be developed ii he has any.
Some may think this a strange way
Of treating an animal supposed to
he ssmad, ! z but the reason is this: The
probabilities are altogether against
the dog being mad" but il he is, a
few days will tell the story. Sup
pose person is bitten by such a dog
and the dog is killed. The person is
always, or at least for a long time,
in worry OF his life; fearing that Hy.
drophQbia will develop in his system
and nothing can or will quiet him or
make him feel safe. On the other
hand if the dog is kept. alive and
watched, and in a large number OF
cases is found to- be only sick and
HARMLESS, you can imagine the relief
ii the person bittelf, when he can be
assured that he is safe from all dam
erous. results OF the bite, or if the an

a In the future, the Board Of Health
trusts that there will be at least an

Why General Butler Was Relieved

Colonel Woodwork told some good
stories about General Butler. He said
that Butler himself told him as late
as 1881 that lie never knew the real
reason why he was deprived of his
military command by General Grant.
It was only few years ago that Wood
word got the facts from Grants broth
er-in-law, Major Dent, who was the
Buffers relief. lie said that while no
reason was openly given at the time,
Butler was actually displaced because
he was not Il gratuated Of West Point.
This would not appear on the face of it
to be Il sufficient cause, but Grant eN-
planned it TO Dent one day ia The course
Of n confidential interview.
"Ifr said he, ~ were to send Butler
specific order to do something with
his army, he might obey and he might
not. He was too able and original not
To reason himself into the belief that
might have given different instruc-
tions if knew OF the local situation.
He therefore always had plan of his
own that he thought was better than
mine or anybody else's, 50 that | could
never tell just what he would do or
where he would be at given time.
OF course that was fatal TO any sys-
tematic campaign, and | had to replace
him with Il West Pointer, whose first
lesson i'm war is the necessity of prompt
obedience to the commanding general.
Butler was too brilliant 70 be reliable. -

Killing the Wrong Birds.

Mrs. Olive Ihorne Miller, an intei,i-
gent New York woman whose studies
ofbir,ls and bird life have made her an
authority on the subject, declared in a
talk few days ago that certain spe-
cies Of birds which farmers delight in
killing are really their hest friends IN
destroying clnkerwsrms and other in
sects which, if not KEEP, in cheek, would
impair the fruit and other crops.
The moral of Mrs. AIiller's obserya a
ton is that much Of the legislation en-
acted in difference TO the wishes or sup
posed interests OF the farmers has beena
cruel and costly blunder. While this
i undoubtedly true, there i equal room
for the opinion that feminine vanity
has been as much to blame "a, agreed
tural Ignorance for the ruthless leStrut-
tiun of the fcathered benefactorS. BE-
this as it may, however, Mrs. Miller is
doing good service to the farmers now
in vinAicating the character of lie
siandered and slaughtered birds; and
the service might be rendered more
effective if She could be induced 10 ex-
tend her bird taIks' to some of the
Legislatures.

which she bears about her in voyages

Eiyhs Lives Saved By a Dog.

Some years ago vessel was driven
on the beach of Lydd, in KOnt, Eng
land. The sea WIS rolling furiously.
Eight poor fellows were crying for help;
not boat could not be got off, through
the storm, 10 their assistance, and they
were in constant peril, for any moment
the ship was in danger of sinking. At
length gentleman came along the
beach accompanied by his Newiound-
land dog. lie directed the animals at
tention 20 the vessel, and put short
stick in his mouth. The Intelligent
and courageous dog at once understood
his meaning, sprang into the sea, and
fought his way through the angry waves
towards the vessel. He eould not, how
ever, get close enough 10 deliver that
with which he WAS charged, but the
crew understood what was meant, and
they made fast Il rope 10 another piece
of wood and threw il towards him.
The noble animal at once dropped his
own piece of wood, and Immediately
seized that which had been thrown To
him; and then, with a degree of
strength and determination scarcely
credible-for he was again and again
lost under the waves-he dragged il
through the surf, and delivered il TO
his master. \ line of communication
was thus formed with the vessel, and
! every man on board was rescued.

Peach Tree Diseases.

Some years ago a gentleman residing
near Cincinnati created sensation by
what he regarded new method Of
K eping peach trees healthy All that
he did WAS topile up earth about the
trees, ;Ae mound reaching up to the
branches. II took several cart loads of
earth "a make these mounds and the
little orchard had the appearance Of
b,shes growing out Ofthe top the core
or earth. Every one used 70 look on
and laugh at Tie thought ofburyiDg up
tho tTgnk of tree in order 10 make Il
healthy but there were the tr.e-, and
undoubtedly ne,iels Of health. Thosc
who saw simply stated their belief that
il was only-a coincidence, and that The
trees would probably have been a-
healthy without the mound Of earth as
with it.
Since, tha- come % be well rccog-
nized that many of the diseases Of
plants, net merely peach trees, but Of
other trees, are caused by the myecliunn
of minute fungus attacking the roots,
it is net at all unlikely that this mound
Of earth operated beneiicially, By pre-
venting the growth efthe funges which
preys on the roots Of trees. IL is now
Wei Understood that all plants Of a
lower of vegetation, which We know as
fungi, viii only grow under peculiar
combination Of circumstances. Among
other things they must be very near
the surface Of the earth, and If buried
10 the depth they would be under a
mound, it Is unlikely that fungi would
find satisfactory home.
Some viii say right here they they
thought buTying up the trunks of trees
and covering the surface roots with
cJr.h was destructive 10 health: bat
the 5Urying by itself is not the reason
trees die when earth l. piled over them
to a considerable depth, but from the
fact ;hat the young growing roots do
not get air. These young growing
roots are almos. all at the eXtremities.
and the moUHd Of earth around the
trua,, would rot in the slightest degree
iajIre these outer roots. Whenever a
valued tree IS somewhat buried it Il
customary to leave a space around the
trim, perhaps building dry wall, in
order 20 keep the earth from getting
near tie trunk bat this is not that the
cart, is injurious, but 10 give q chance
for water TO low freely down into the
soil, and the How Of water always leads
toa TOW of air following the water.
These remarks are suggested by an ar
ticic in an agricultural paper, stating
that the apple borer and the peach
horer have been kept cut Of the trunks
Of trees by making mound ofearth
