The Cltv Election on April ..

Among the tickets which have Just
been sprung upon the people for their
consideration at the city election April
9, are one straightout Democratic ticket
and one fusion ticket and It Is under
stood that an entire Republican com ina-
tion is yet to be heard from The great
trouble seems to be- that nobody lie
patriotic enough or public spirited
enough to want the offices except men
whom the people do not want, or who
are morally and mentally incompetent
It seems that no business man wants to
be stood up for an office and be Knocked
down by man both inexperienced and
unfit.
Mayor Frank F Herbert and Captain
A. NJ. Hizsr are the two men now spoken
Of for chief magistrates of the city. II
ORptsin Hlzar still refuses 20 run for
mayor, as he has refused Ia former years,
then the Fusionists will take up Presi-
dent John A. Walls. OF the Tax Reform
Association. II Mr.. Walls hesitates,
then he will be taken from the head Of
the ticket and be placed on the Council
manic ticket He is popular citizen,

MUTlLATlON OF DOGS.
Ear and Tail Cropping and the Operatio
Known as "Worming."

! Ear and Tail Cropping and the Operation
! Known as "Worming."
The fashionable mutilations to which
the dog has been subjected are three in
number-ear and tail cropping, and the
strange operation known as worm
ing" Though the law prohibits the
performance of the operations which
lead to these mutilations yet at least
two of them are still carried out surrep-
titiousIy, and the third, "worming, !"
may also be practiced. At any rate |
have seen it done in my young days. 1t
and the tail cropping can boast of a
venerable antiquity, and they also had
their raisOn 'etre i'll a superstitious be-
lief III their efficacy III preventing mad
ness or rabies. SO long as the time of
Columella, the Roman writer on agri-
culture, the mutilation of the dogs tail
was popul ir and favorite procedure.
AS he tells us in his de Re Rustica"
that the shepherds believe that if, OH
the fortieth day after the birth of q pup,
the last bone of its tail were bitten off,
the sinew believed to be a worm) would
follow the piece, after this the tail
would not grow and the dog could not
become rabid.
This superstitious notion has prevailed
for ages, and may still be entertained
in certain quarters. However this mig
be, the fashion of removing a portion Of
the tail of many breeds of dogs is quite
common, and ii it is done with a view
to the prevention of Madness it is at
any rate considered most desirable for
these animals to have short blunt tail,
because it improves their appearance.
Some dogs have scarcely any tail left.
| have seen grooms and dog fanciers bite
off puppies tails as a matter of bust
ness, and some of these people have
shown me fragment of sinew attached
to the amputated portion as the worm
in the tail. "
1t should be noted, in speaking of this
fashion, that a mongrel dog has been
termed eur (Latin curtus, or crop
tailed, because it usually had the tail
shortened, and according to ancient for
est laws, man who had no right to the
privilege of the chase was obliged to
cut off the tail of his dog, on the plea
that, if a dog has no tail to act as a
rudder, he cannot hunt game Nine

Training an Aztec Girl.

We are accustomed to think of the
people of ancient America as largely
savage and with none of the thoughts
about conduct and morals such as We're
held in Europe. But here are few ex-
tracts from letter written by an Aztec
or Mexican mother to her daughter be-
fore the conquest of Cortez. The exact
date is not given, but Prescott quotes it
from an early Spanish chronicle:
In walking my daughter, see that
you behave becomingly, neither going
with haste nor too slowly, since it is
evidence of being pufFed up to walk too
slowly, and walking hastily causes a
vicious habit of restlessness and insta-
bility Therefore neither walk very fast
nor very slow, yet when it shall be
necessary to go with haste. do SO; i'll
this use your discretion. And when you
may be obliged to jump over pool of
water, do it with decency, that you
may neither appear clumsy nor light
When you are in the street do not carry
your bead much inclined or your body
bent, nor as little go with your head
very much raised, since it is mark of
i'll breeding; walk erect and with your
head slightly inclined. Walk through
the street quietly and with propriety.
Another thing that you must attend to,
my daughter, is that when you are in
the street you do not go looking hither
and thither, nor turning your head to
look at this and that; walk neither
looking at the skies nor on the ground.
Do not look upon those whom you meet
with the eyes of an offended person, nor
have the appearance of being uneasy.
See, my daughter, that You give your
self no concern about the words you
may hear in going through the street,
nor pay any regard to them. Take care
that you neither answer nor speak, but
act as if you neither heard nor under
stood them ''-Brooklyn Eagle.

swordsmanship Against a Tiger.

Sir James Outram, known rs the Bay
ard of India, was mighty hunter"
and All accomplished swordsman. He
once performed the hazardous feat of
killing a tiger with his sword and from
the back of his horse General Nichol-
son performed similar feat
He rode round and round the tiger at
gallop, gradually narrowing the circle,
until at last he was near enough to de-
liver his blow. He had only the one
blow, and if he had failed to kill the
tiger he himself would have been slain.
The explanation of the feat is that
the tiger does not spring upon the horse
man during the circling process, because
he is watching his opportunity. AS the
circle d~ew closer and closer upon him,
he becomes bewildered by the strange
maneuver, so unlike that of any hunter
he has ever encountered. - Youths

An inch strip of black silk is a boon some

three or four old kid gloves and put them
to boil in pint of water. Let them boil
for an hour, strain through a cloth, aud put
in the liquid a quart or more OF hot water

silk flat on perfectly clean table that has
no seams or cracks in it. aud rub every inch
OF the silk with the mixture, till il is thor

Then fix tub of warm water in which put
a liberal quantity of borax, and pick the silk
up by the corners and dip it up aud down in
the tub ofwater. Dip anddip until it is well
rinsed then take out to the line, where you
have pinned long strip of cloth about a
foot wide. To the edge of this cloth pin the

that it is not wrinkled and does not drOOp.
Let it drip dry and it will need no ironing.
