Alphabetical BURGLARY.

Something like the following, from
the Boston Transcript, we remember
to have seen before, but humor, like
history, repeats itself: I'VE are thorry

Skedunk Weekly News, that our COM

The Dog Pest.

me Dog Fest.
A Canadian exchange talks of the
dog pest as follows:
one OF the great drawbacks to the
comfortable keeping of sheep in Can
ada and the United States is the preva-
lence OF dogs which worry sheep. Our
dog laws are not so rigid as they ought
to be. The farmers of Canada ought
to rally round their respective min
listers of agriculture and back them
strongly enough to get good wholesome
dog laws passed in every province in
the Dominion. In Kansas very USE
full plan of frightening away dogs has
been found to be the putting of cow
bell on every third sheep. A writer
recommends the following methods:
Get some small sponges and soak them
in melted poisoned lard or tallow, and
then place the sponge where the dogs
will be likely to get them. The sheep
or other stock will not touch the
sponges, but the dogs will. You will
be in no danger of poisoning anything
you don't want to. The sponges are
indigestible, and will never leave the
dogs stomach, and the owner of the
dog will believe he has got a dog go
ing mad and will not only kill that dog,
but every other one he has" This
writer also adds: mo sheepman should
be without a Winchester, and should
know how to use it, too." These meth
DDS are harsh; but circumstances might
Justify their USE We shOu1d rather see
effective dog laws passed.

e nave some pretty long stretches
OF duty" said locomotive engineer to
a Philadelphia Record man the other
DAY, and it isn't an uncommon thing
Tor man to go for forty-eight hours
without sleep. Of course, it isn't the
pest policy for railroad company to
allow such thing to happen, but
sometimes it can't be helped. It would

glneer to go to sleep at his post You
mink 1t would be hard for a man to

1t was his place then to ring the bell
continuously until we got into the train
yard. He kept the bell going with
regularity and wondered at his vital

round house he never moved out of
his seat, but still yanked the bell rope
Then l saw that he was asleep. I
called the other fellows and we
watched him for two or three hours,

THE FASHIONABLE PARLOR,
A Distressing Room with Its Delicate
I1nts and Curious Set Expression.

"A Distressing Room with Its Delicate
Tints and Curious Set Expression.
The delicate tints of the average ex-
penslvely furnished parlor are apt to
be colorless unless there is some relief
to them, says the New York Post. One
sees so many rooms with soft pearl
gray Wilton carpets, walls of very
much the same shade, hangings of sill
very plush, furniture largely in white
and gold, even the soft cushions of
the palest hues in costly fabrics. The
curious set expression of such a room,
as if it were arranged for an exhibition
parlor of upholstery, is enhanced, usu-
ally, by the lack of any sort of CEN
ter. Every room to be successful
needs some sort of focus-an open fire.
place, reading table, anything that
suggests a drawing together of the
rooms occupants. It is this lack of
suggestion of life which makes one
stroll through one of these perfectly
appointed rooms and come with a sigh
OF relief into the next apartment,
which the family really use. Occa-
sionally house is entered whose mis-
tress boldly banishes the so-called
parlor, letting it be simply an extern
sion of the library. Books line it's
walls. A long table with chairs drawn
around it is piled with fresh maya
zines, the latest books, and a writing
service. All these may be as elegant
as ones purse admits, but their very
presence confers a charm and effect
by their suggestion of use, that is not
found in the handsomest stretches of
upholstery and woodwork.

It is safe to say that nothing is OF
florist than an abundant supply of
water, and this supply always under his
control, writes B. S. Hoxie in Wiscon-
sin Horticulturist. The man or wo-
man who wishes to cultivate flowers
and plants and who gives them a fine
chance in spring and early summer, of
late years suddenly awakes in midsum-
mer to the fact that they begin to
wither and die. Resort is at once had
to the watering pot, and pailful after
pailful from the we'll or cistern pump
is used. The earth constantly drinks it
in and every day calls for more, and
we bend our energies to supply the
want, but finally gave up in despair
while we mourn the loss of our flow
ers and hope that next year may be
better. My memory recalls when one
year I had as fine a growth of Dahlias
as ever I saw, and the next spring
planted out fifty hills which promised
a fine show of autumn bloom, but alas!
not dozen blossoms appeared, and in
the fall the bulbs were weak and puny.
Result, but few land those of inferior
varieties), were fit to plant the next
spring. The Gladiolus beds showed
but imperfect bloom and so on to the
end of the chapter, for outdoor plants.
So the question had but two alterna-
tives, either a permanent water supply
or no garden and lawn. The right end
of the question for me was supply of
water with windmill and elevated
tank, so that now by aid Of gravitation
and rubber hose I never have lack
of water when I need it, though have
sometimes lacked time to use it. Our
city does not boast system OF water
dependent fountain supply is cheaper
than water tax" and there is no
"shut off, when wanted, for the winds
of heaven blow and the lower fountains
yield up their treasure at call. There
are windmills on almost every farm in
the country, but not one elevated tank
in hundred. A small tank holding
thirty, forty or fifty barrels, placed on
a tower of trestle work, say ten or
twelve feet high, would in most cases
afford an ample supply. The overflow
from this could as well supply the yard
tank as it now does, or it could be
taken direct to the house and then dis
tributed. Of course force pump
would have to be used instead of the
common lifting pump, but it costs only
few dollars more, and what con-
venience! #

sible, remain as they are at present. I
do not by any means regard this as
calamity. On the contrary. I look upon
the Iact That our insect and fungous
Toes are increasing as direct proof that
we are progressing, for, as Professor
Bailey has said, 'Our enemies increase
because cultivation induces change of
habits IN wild organisms; because it
presents an ever-increasing variety OF
food, or host plants; because the food
supply Is large and in more or less
continuous areas; and finally, because
the natural equilibrium. or tension. is
destroyed" It follows, therefore. that
the more we put forth our energies to
improve our native plants or to change
their habits; the more we endeavor to
increase the variety and number of our
cultivated vines, trees, and shrubs; the
more we extend our orchards, our vine
yards, and our fields, just so much
more 40 we disturb the equilibrium in
nature, and just so much more must
we expect to burden ourselves with
the work OF maintaining this unstable
condition by more or less artificial
means. Where an insect or fungus had
one chance a hundred years ago to wax
strong and spread, it has now a thou
sand chances, for unbroken orchards
and vineyards and millions Of nursery
trees cover the country where then
only wild plants grew. It is but nat
ural, then, that man, seeing the on
ward march of his enemies, should look
about him and wonder how it will all
end, and how he, as an Individual, is
to obtain relief. In many cases he has
found way Of doing this by adopting
certain more or less empirical meth
DDS. Again, with a fuller appreciation
OF the fundamental principles underly-
ing plant growth, he has learned, part
ly by intuition, to keep his plants in
health, and when he has reached this
stage he stands far in advance of his
neighbor who waits until his plants are
diseased and then begins to look about
for spraying apparatus.-B. T. Gal
loway.

ter of two most promising young
men.
To say she was lovely comprises
vastly more than beauty of form and
face; for to be that, requires pure
attractive soul and quick, bright
mind, radiating from the beautifully
turned features and clear, smooth COM
plexion. Yet Ellen Tresdon was SUI
premely lovely. The home of the Tres
dons was so inviting, with it's TURK
tsh carpets, luxurious seats, pictures,
paintings, statues, statuettes and art1s-
tic ornaments, presented to you so nat
urally and easily by the graceful hos
pitality of it's inmates, that few cross
ed the threshold without seeking it
again and again.
OF this interesting family Ellen was
the pet and darling, while Charles was
the honor and pride-not that the
youngest failed to come in for fully
his share of love, but he was mere
boy, while Charles was the first born,
the child of the bridal year, the link
among which father and mother loved
to be borne backward to the times
when the honeymoon was a soft, ten
der, beautiful crescent arching their
young lives-a honeymoon which was
taking all the days of their limited
lives to fill up. Aye, proudly they
loved him, and we'll they might, for
he was all that ardent love and youth
ful freshness might be supposed to en-
dow an offspring with. To Ellen he
was an idol with whom, until lately,
none had contested for the supremacy
OF her love. God has not made Wo-
man to live alone or man, either, as to
that; her being is incomplete, and
needs to be merged into a stronger,
grander life, and marriage alone pro-
duces, by the twain united, perfected
humanity. Recently these thoughts
had been stealing through the secret
chamber of Ellen's soul, and with them
the manly form OF Edwin Mott entered
within its sacred arcana and the fin
est chords of her heart had vibrated
thrillingly to his touch.
The first draught of love is to wo-
mans soul nectar of new life; an
ellxer awakening every fiber of her
being into ecstasy. And as Ellen stood
before full-length mirror, where she
had paused to glance over the COM
pleteness of her toilet, Charles raised
his eyes from his book, and beholding
IN the face of his pet an exquisite
beauty, outrivaling even herself, he
cast the book away and stepped to her
side. AS Ellen's arm glided about his
waist, the glowing color suddenly re-
