Cropping Them Prevents the Animals
From Hearing Well.
Any one who has heard the mega
phone must have wondered at the ex-
traordinary power of increasing sound
that is produced by form, and / would
like to call attention to one point in
connection with cutting dogs ears that
/ do not remember to have seen men,
toned anywhere - that is, from an
acoustic standpoint:
l have lately purchased a small York
shire terrier, imported from England
only a few months ago. Its ears were
clipped in England after what the seller
of the dog declared to be "the very lat
est style"
The ears were first clipped and then
stiffened up with three effects on the
dog:
First.--That the buzz Of a bee or fy
causes him to retreat under cover of
safety.
Second. THAT he ducks his head
when about to lie ratted, a sure sign Of
the length of time the pain of the oper-
alton must have lasted.
Third. IAN effect I had not expect
ed That he has absolutely no idea of
the direction Of sound.

strun1ent to increase the volume of
sound. A change in the acoustical ar
rangeIuent Of the flap Of the ear would
necessarily entirely puzzle and bewilder
the owner as to the direction Of sound,
and this u point III ear cutting would
seem of itself to condemn the practice.

tons which it is hoped viii end the
coal miners strike has affected the coal
market in this city. Purchasers are
cautious and are buying only in small
quantities. Nearly all the operators
are sanguine that the end Of the trouble
is near at hand, but there are q few
who express doubt OIL the subject. All
are awaiting the meeting of the miners

new proposition will be considered.

Enquiries siron Cleveland for Coal Indi.
cate That the End Is in Sight.
PITTsBURG, Sept. 3.-The Pittsburg
coal operators became convinced that a
settlement of the strike was in sight
when inquiries for coal began to come
in from Cleveland. Prices were asked,
and several contracts were made at ~
cents above the price for mining, what
ever the date might be. Cleveland is
the headquarters of the big shippers
and these people hold the key to the
situation. The cause of the food of in.
quiries was therefore attributed to the
fact that the shippers believed that the
strike would soon terminate.
Colonel Rend has given his ultimatum
to a committee of his miners. He told
them that if the proposal now under
consideration at Columbus was rejected,
he would start his mines at once. He
had an offer, he said, of 500 colored men
from the South who would work and
could not be frightened away.

DR.. Felix Adler said recently that
women are going to vote, some day,
and the time is not so far away as
some folks suppose. The introduce
ton of social reforms in the politics
of the day is fastening the day when
women will vote.
In his lecture at Carnegie EHall on
Political Aspirations of women, -"
he said that women do not get a fair
return in compensation for their
labor, but there are n number of very
good reasons therefor. In the first
place, the day since women became a
worker is too short for the subject to
adjust itself satisfactorily.
women is a boru peacemaker, "
continued DR.. Adler. ~ "In ancient
Rome she was the guardian of the
sacred fire of loyalty. Her influence
in the community is all powerful, and
it is thus, now that she is exert
ing her influence for her own benefit
as well as that for the State, it is nee
essary that each ones own good shall
be made subservient to the public
good. And the women. is a peculiar
fashion, are turning the minds of men
their way.

Mr. woodchuck's Forecast.

After secluding himself in his sub
terranean home for about three
months, Mr.. Arctomys Monax came
out Tuesday to make a meteorolog-
ical observation. Mr.. A. Monax is
better known by the names he uses
for everyday wear than by the dis
tinguished appellation engraved on
his visiting cards. Mr.. Woodchuck''
and 'Mr. Grounding" are aliases of
his, but the name we have called him
by is his designation in the official
geological directory.
Mr.. A. Monax is weather prophet
of great ability, but his method of
observation is exceedingly simple.
If the sun shines so that his furry
body casts shadow, he knows that
six weeks more of wintry weather is
on the programme, and he retires
promptly to his burrow and goes to
sleep again. Cloudy weather he rec
ognizes as an Indication OF an early
breaking up of winter, and then he
sets about getting ready for his spring
work.
The accuracy of Mr.. Woodchuck' s
forecast has been challenged by the
Weather Bureau people, who are
jealous of his prestige. They even
point to examples of the untrustwor-
thiness of Grounding Day forecasts,
but if the same rule were applied to
the Weather Bureau, Mr.. Woodchuck
could reply in simple but effective
language, "There are Others
Tuesday, however, was extremely
cloudy, and in this section of the
country snow fell the whole day and
Mr.. A. Monax did not get an oppor-
tunity for surveying his majestic
shadow. Therefore we shall wait and
see what kind of weather follows.

HQTdW0Te 0Dd Implements
Cheaper than Ever.

1897 finds us better prepared
than ever to supply the trade
with hardware, farm imple-
ments, stoves, ranges, tinware,
oils, paints, etc, etc. The
greatest possible care has been
taken in selecting these goods,
not, however, to find a low grade
Of goods, but to get the very
best at the lowest possible price.
Nearly all Of our goods are
bought from manufacturers di-
rect. While we do not profess
to do what others in the same
business cannot, yet we propose
to give a man as much value
for his money as he can get
anywhere. First quality of
goods are generally sold at less
profit than the inferior, but the
customer is always best pleased
with the goods. Our wagons,
plows, nails, wire, harrows,
sewer pipe, cultivators, etc, are
shipped in mixed car lots from
factory so as to save freights
and benefit the customer. We
have arranged for the best line
Of shovel plows and cultivators
we ever handled. In moving
machines, binders and grain
drills we are up to date; will
have three grades of hay rakes,
all guaranteed to do good work.
We can offer to the trade good
steel frame spring tooth har-
rows at greatly reduced prices,
and a lever wheel harrow of an
entirely new design. 1t will
afford us much pleasure to show
goods and quote prices to per-
sons in need Of anything in our
line. Many persons are deceiv-
ed by sending for goods they
see advertised at lower prices
than good articles are worth in
the market. The tendency of
the age is to cheaper goods
rather than increase durability,
hence the necessity Of careful
examination before purchasing.
Thanking our friends and GUS
toners for past favors, we are
Yours respectfully,
