VIRGINS WINS.
Judgment for $50 and Costs Aaains
CordeIia in Cattle Case

The case in which Cordella brought
suit against James Virgins Of En-
pire to replevin a band Of cattle which
he claimed was unlawfully held by
the defendant has been decided in
favor of the defendant
Virgins found a band Of the plain
tiff's cattle in his pasture, having bro
ken down the fence. He then held the
stock for the damage. He showed dam
ages to the extent of 500 and the court
gave him judgment for that amount
with costs. The law holds that a :
fective fence in a case of that kind
is no justification. The owner of pro
perty does not have to fence it at ali
but the owner Of stock must fence his
cattle in and keep it off his neigh
boris land.
The plaintiff got his stock back by
giving bond for the judgment Hon

Looking backward over the expert

is curious fact that the enemies one
makes in politics never die. They are

THE TRAINING OF A CHILD.
5everal Important Points That Must
Be Remembered

First Of all, she must remembe that
to teach is to impart instruction; not
to find fault with ignorance, with lack
OF comprehension, with listlessness or
with forgetfulness. Often, indeed, for
these last named faults, poor teaching
is to blame. Second, there is the
inflexible rule that requires teacher
to prepare every lesson carefully be-
fore giving it, in order to present it
in an interesting and Ineligible way.
Third, there is the ever present dan
ger Of OVERRIDING, against which the
teacher must always be on guard.

All tradesmen being liable to the

it may not be out of place to mention
a method of getting rid Of these pests
which is recommended by a cores
pondent of the Birmingham Daily

with petroleum ordinary drying
tar varnish such as bedstead makers
and japanners use and pouring the
mixture into the runs OF the rats.
The vermin are said to loathe the
smell of the stuff, and will do any
thing to get clear of it. A still more
effective plan is said to be to catch q
rat alive, dip it up to the neck in the
varnish and turn it loose. Its fet
lows will flee from it as from the
dell. The dipping process is said to
be harmless to the rat. But some
ironmongers may not care to dip q
