SHEEP KILLERS.

Farmer Very Properly Gets Mad at the
Dogs.
The good-for- nothing ours COM
menced their campaign of fsheep-killing
on Saturday morning last by getting
into the flock belonging to !. Putnam,
of Rockland. Out of flock of 80 sheep
there were killed and wounded Is of
the innocepts. The wounded were the
worst cut up of any sheep ever seen by
the owner.
On Saturday night an onslaught was
made on the flock belonging to Gordon
Potter, and $ were killed or badly
wounded.
The lawmakers should amend the
law taxing dogs so that when the
owner does not pay that tax the con-
stable shall kill the dogs. This would
rid the country of many of the worth
less ours.
The writer knows of several families
that can scarcely make living for
themselves yet keep lot of worthless
dogs. These frequently escape the
tax, and that condition should not be.
1t is discouraging, indeed, for the
sheep-raiser to be constantly suffering
from the dog menace. FARMER.

HIS ACCOUNTS SHORT.
Parkersburg NInn in Serious Trouble witt,
-a - W the LAW. q II


A sensation was created in Parkers-
burg Wednesday night, when G. M.
Cover, ex-agent of the United States
Express company, was arrested at the
instigation of the fidelity company on
his bond. The warrant charges Cover
with embezzling S7O0. He has been
short with his company before, but his
friends made the amount good Some
years ago he was compelled to give up
position of trust in secret society
on account of an alleged shortage.
The unfortunate mans ruin is at
tributed to an Unsuitable passion for
gambling and he was n we'll known
frequenter of the poker joints in this
city, coming up from Parkersburg,
playing through the evening and re-
turning on the midnight train.
Covers bond was fixed at $4,000,
which lie was unable to give, and he
was committed to Jail. He has en-
tered suit against l.. n. Logan and
associates of the Manhattan club at
Parllersburg to recover $500 alleged to
have been lost there in the past three
months.

The town of Mentone, in the south of
France, has long been a resort for con-
sumptives. Latterly, it is reported,
they have failed TO derive much benefit
from stay in its borders, and the num-
Der of such visits is greatly reduced.
ut is claimed that the soil of the neigh
borhood has become impregnated with
germs, and that instead of giving re-
lief to sufferers it is now the last place
on earth to which they should resort.
1t is even stated that the natives Of the
locality, who once presented such a
vigorous and hardy appearance. have
acquired the look of inyalids them
selves, and that disease is now rep
nant where the best of health once pre-
vailed. The decline of Mentonc as n
health resort is cited as q conclusive
proof of the germ theory Of disease"

A DEAF AND BLIND CRITIC.
Helen Keller on the Character of Fa-
f3L vorite Heroine. II frHsl

Ns vorite Heroine.
Here, from 6the Century, is one of
Helen Keller's compositions" 1t is
on the Character of Rosalind.'
what first strikes us in Rosalind's
character is it's buoyancy. AS soon as
she begins to speak we know that she
is young, fair and lopable. When we
first meet her, she is grieving over the
Punishment of her father; but, on being
chided by her cousin, Celia, for her sad
ness, we see how quickly she locks up
her sorrow in her heart, and tries to be
happy because Celia is happy. So
when we hear her merry laugh, and lis
ten to her bright conversation, we do
not imagine for moment that she has
forgotten her sorrow; we know that she
is unselfishly trying to do her duty by
her cousin. And when we see the smile
fade from her sweet face, and the light
from her eyes, because fellow creature
is in trouble, we are not surprised.
We feel that we have known all along
that her nature was tender and SYM
pathetic.
"Rosalind's impulses, her petulance,
her tenderness and her courageous de-
fense of her father seems perfectly
natural, and true to life; but it is very
hard to put in words my idea of her
character. 1t seems almost as if it
would lose some of it's beauty and wom-
anliness, If [ tried to analyze it, just as
we lose beautiful flower when we pull
it, to pieces to see how many stamens
it has. Many beautiful traits are won
derfully blended in her character, and
we cannot help loving the vivacious,
affectionate and chnrminp Rosalindn

MELTING OLD OIL WELLS.
How the Gushers of Former Days Are Re-
stored to Their Former Nigor

How the Gushers of Former Days Are Re-
stored to Their Former Vigor.
T. w. Young, of Washington, has in
vented an electrical heater to be lowered
into an oil well. The idea is, says the
Mining and Scientific Press, to generate
electricity in large quantities so that
the refuse matter which clogs the pores
of the oilstone will be melted and run
out, causing a fresh upward flow of
oil. The theory as to the exhaustion of
SO many wells is that the oil, in passing
upward through the stone, has clogged
the porous stone with paraffin in such
quantities that the further flow is
stopped and the well ceases to produce.
Some think that it is because the sup
ply in the earth has given out, but the
generally accepted idea is that the oil is
still abundant and only ceases to flow
when the exit is stopped. 1t has been
common to use torpedoes to shatter the
stone at the bottom of the well, thus
breaking up the clogged matter, but this
is an expensive process by the Young
method the machine, which is about
three feet long and resembles an iron
cartridge, is placed at the bottom of
the well and electricity used of suffi-
cient voltage to produce an enormous
heat without melting the metal. The
current goes down the wires, and, by
the peculiar construction of the carbon
packed chambers, the intense heat is
1adiated into the rock in all directions,
the parafiin and other refuse is soft
ened and melted so that it runs, and
when the well is started a flesh flow
occurs just as strong as when it was
first sunk

ROCHEFORT THE LAST.
Only Surviving Member of the Govern
ment of Natural Defense.

Owing to the death of Emmanuel
Arago, NJ. Henri Rochefort now remains
the only surviving member of the gov
ernment of national defense, consti-
tuted on the fall of the empire in Sep
tember, 1870, says Paris correspondent
of the London Telegraph. The famous
pamphleteer comments on the subject
to-day in half-mournful, half-jesting
tone and compares himself to "The
Last of the Abencerages," in allusion
to the work of that name by Chateau
BRAND. "They are all gone" says NJ.
Rochefort, Picard, Gambetta, Jules
Ferry, Jules Fayre, Eugene Peletan,
Cremieux, Glais-Bizoin, Jules Simon,
Gen. Trochu and now Arago. l have
had the chance to see them all disap
pear, the young and the old, for Gam
beta and Ferry were my juniors. AT
bition killed some of them before their
time and old age finished off the rest"
Another feature in connection with NJ.
Rochefort's survival is the fact that the
persons whose colleague he was for a
very brief period did their best to have
him condemned, Jules Simon, however,
being an exception. Emmanuel Arago,
a friend of Rochefort's family, was even
one of those who wanted the editor of
the Laterne to be transported to New
Caledonia Some of the same colleagues
also had him condemned in 1889 with
Gen. Boulanger in their capacities as
senators or deputies. AS to his coli
nection with the defense government.
NJ. Rochefort says that he left the post
as soon as he could, for there was too
much talk and too little action.

A General Cleaning out Between Third

The announcement that the dredging

hanging fro for so long, was begun
Thursday was welcome news TO people
interested along the stream.
1t is matter qualification to know
that the dispute between the engineers
and the contractors, the Atlas Dredg
ing Co., was amicahly settled.
The engineers originally desired to
deduct tha sediment from the overflow
of the material thrown on the property
OF the Delaware Construction Co. This
the Atlas Co. agreed to, with the pro-
viso that deduction should be made
from all waste water not affected. The
matter Of dumping grounds was also ad
justed.
1t is the intention now to dredge
from Third street bridge TO Market
street bridge and clear out the shoals
below Third street bridge. Should
there be money balance when this
work is completed some dredging will
be done above Market street bridge.

A Plan That should Greatly Improve the
Entrance TO tho Stream.
Tho work on the Mispillion River
and dyke, which was recently ordered
by the government engineers, will be
commenced in short time. with a
view to completing il during the warm
weather.
In addition to the dredging to be
done in the stream a substantial st ne
jetty 200 feet in length is to be built
as a marine extension OF the dyke at
the side Of the river. thereby forming
defence, which, II is thought, will be
highly beneficial.
For some reason, the mouth OF the
Mispillion is one of the most dangerous
places along the Delaware shore. Mare
especially is this 30 In stormy weather.
And to make matters worse. there ap-
pears to he an unusually large quantity
Of treacherous mud 1nd sand at the
very entrance to the stream. The mouth
fills up very RAPIDLY, presumably by
the combination Of Delaware and
Mispillion currents. and the engineers
have been studying the matter for some
time, with view to devising some
means whereby the condition of affairs
could be improved.
The appropriation for the present
seasons work is comparatively small.
but Gen. Smith and his assistants
have. it ia believed, hit upon plan
which will produce the very b9st re
suits for the amount 10 hand, and il
is believed that the proposed stone
ietty, while it will not be very long,
will go a great way toward improving
the mouth of the Mispillion by defend
ing it from the currents which have
been giving trouble.
