A NEW ONE.
How the Farmers near Winches.
ter, Ohio, Kill Dogs.

A dispatch from Winchester, O.,
to the Columbus Dispatch, gives an
interesting bit Of novelty news in the
manner of ridding that city Of Its ca
nine population.
The farmers have been pestered by
the wholesale slaughter of sheep by
worthless ours, and to rid themselves
Of the curse, have introduced this
novelty. Good and bad dogs are sus-
ceptible.
A wholesale killing of dogs has
been in progress In this vicinity dur
ing the past three or four days and as
a result nearly a couple Of dozen Of
the most valuable CANNES including
some fine settlers have died from what
is known as the sponge route" A
small sponge is fried in beef tallow
and after cooled is given to the dog.
After passing into the stomach the
sponge becomes damp and swells,
causing the dog to become sick and
froth at the mouth, similar to that Of
hydrophobia and death generally re-
suits in about 4S hours. 1t is gen.
orally supposed to be the work Of

An old journalist tells a reporting
incident Of his young days. "I was

burgh, to report meeting in connec-

improvement society, at which the late
Lord MoDcrief was expected to speak.
I cannot exactly fix the date, but as
was then engaged ON the now defunct
Caledonian Mercury, it must have been
over 30 years ago. At that time the
'Darwinian theory and the 'Vestiges Of
Creation were creating much excite
ment in Edinburgh. as elsewhere, but,
except to a select few, it was not known
that the late DIR. Robert Chambers was
the author of the latter work. Lord
(then Mr. Moncrieff took occasion to
refer to the controversy, and created
roars of laughter by his ridicple of Dar-
winism.
"When he concluded, gentleman
sitting at the back of the hall, among
the common ruck' of the audience, rose
and respectfully asked permission to put
question to the 'Darwinian critic.
There were cries of 'Name' Come for
wardP etc., but he modestly declined,
remarking, in effect, that he only
wished to ask the speaker if he had read
Darwin's Origin of Species. Mr.. Mon
Grief at once promptly replied that he
had not, but that he had studied re-
views of it, etc. I thought so, quietly

Love is the essential of marriage,
and without this it is unworthy of
the name. Love is it's sole sacrament.
It's religion is the bonds of reciprocity;
love for love, duty for duty, chastity
for chastity. A so-callad marriage
without religion is no marriage, but
a sham, a meaningless ceremony,
though all the bishops and archbi-
shops in England assisted at it. Mer-
cenary motives destroy its sanctity
and render it naturally null and void.
Yet in all grades matches are made
from these, and are called marriage.
Every day the papers tell us Of mar,
riage that have been arranged" as
if any real marriage could be arrang-
ed. What can their sequel be, ex-
cept misery or the Divorce Court2
Every manly man or womanIy wom-
an must needs feel as old Warner
says in his Albion's England:
"Let peasants marte their marriage,
And thrive ct peradventure,
love for love, no gentle heart
Should fancy by tndenture."
How many of our best women in
feudal times sought refuge in religious
VOWS from disgusting or oppressive
marriage? How many abstain to-day
without flying nunneries, because of
the unequal condition of the marriage
system which exacts so much from
one sex, and permits so much to the
other? Who can reflect on the ap-
palling amount of enforced maternity
from India to England-of the mil
lions who are morally and physically
outraged under the sanction of law
and marriage customs, without shud-
dering at such enormous cruelty?
Where Is the religion of marriage
when delicate women and immature
maidens are subjected TO the brutali-
ties of male lust and tyranny without
help or redress, and are compelled TO
bear children against their will, even
though their health or lives be sacri-
feed by it? If splendid position de-
mands inheritors by anJ means what
ever, If mercenary natures are willing
to "marte their marriage; if some
must marry only because they "burn";
yet let not all be classed alike. There

COLOR SCHEME FOR SMALL HOUSE.
Let Old Blue Predominste In Parlor, Ii
brary and Dining Room.

Let Old Blue Predominate In Parlor, L.
brary and Dining Room.
How few people when furnishing a
small hoase or fiat remember that old
blue is one Of the happiest colors to
choose for foundation, writes Frances
Ann Hoadley in The Ladies' Home
Journal. In house where, as rule,
all the rooms open into one another, es-
pecial care must be taken to preserve
harmony. 1t is better then to select one
solor which shall run through all the
rooms. Old blue is the color par excel
lence in such acase, combined with tan,
gray or white for the rugs, while the
same scheme prevails in the heavy dra.
peries.
A lovely little house in mind has a
parlor and library in one. The large
rug, covering the greater part of the
room, is old blue and gray. In front of
the fireplace is long, light gray fur
one. A broad, low lounge is covered
with dark gray. 1t is always better to
cover lounge in solid color, as it
takes more kindly to the pillows Of end
less hues. The large dining room rug
is old blue and tan, with smaller rugs
of tawny brown. The bedroom has an
old blue and white large rug and white
fur smaller ones. Let old blue predomi-
nate everywhere in the floor furnishings
and draperies, but not to the exclusion
Of all other colors elsewhere, for where
one color only is used the effect as a
whole is fiat. Let there be odd bright
color touches in the way Of pillows,
lamp shades, odd bits Of china and
brio. a-brac, but with always an eye to
what is the proper color for each room.
When all furnished be careful to see
whether all Of the rooms blend into a
beautiful harmony.
In a bedroom white enameled or birds
eye maple is exquisite where two or
three pieces Of fresh old mahogany are
added. Each heightens the others beau
ty in a most charming manner. A room
furnished entirely in mahogany gives
heavy, dismal effect, but in parlor
and library combined, say in fat On
small house, place large, quantity
carved old desk and one of those highly
polished, round card tables, and see
what an air they give to the modern
and equally beautiful furniture. In the
dining room square mahogany table
with surface like glass, and even a
small buffet or china cabinet, will be
quite enough Of the antique to set oil
everything else in the room. Have ex-
quisitoly drawn linen doilies. candles in
rose colored shades and profusion Of,
say, pink carnations and you have a
lovely lunch table. In house the hall
should be a leading feature -enticing.

Beware Of

No one who has not been through the

blade of the surgeon is too often used

It is little less than folly to submit
to surgical operation for a disease OF

proves either fatal or useless.

doctors recently, and was on the verge
of a painful surgical operation. He

Poisons engendered by food fer

the direct cause OF rheumatism, gout,

These results are prevented by the

remedy discovered and prepared by
the Shaker of Mount Lebanon, N. Y.
