class of boys seldom If ever amount to
a pewter d-m, and the sooner they
are placed where they can do the
least harm, the better for themselves
and the public. To wantonly destroy
property, break widow lights in
empty residences, jerk pickets from
fences, cut awnings and harness, tear
up flowers beds, set fire TO grass where
it is dangerous, mutilate and destroy
young shade trees is a species Of wand
alism OF which many in this county
are guilty, and there should be a
severe reckoning. Investigation will
reveal that the perpetrators OF such
crimes against public aecency are in
variably young fellows from the age OF
seventeen to twenty-five, cigarette
fiends and users Of vile and dirty
language. The officers should make a
special effort to detect these repro
bates.

on mice, IS per cent on other small
mammals, Is per cent on reptiles,
frogs and insects, and only very low
percentage on poultry and small birds.
We do not find that this bird is so
very destructive TO quail and part

VIRTUE OF PEAT BATHS.
Discovery Made by Poor Peasant on
the Coast Of Finistere.

The discovery of the value Of peat
baths was made accidentally many
years ago.
On the coast of Finistere there lived
at one time a very poor family. The
fether of the family eked out a scanty
living by killing aged cattle and d.
vesting them of their skins. The re-
mains he sold to tanners and refiners.
or the three children which be-
longed to this couple one was poor
creature. delicate and wretched, and
apparently nalf witted. The mother
was SO ashamed of this offspring that
she could not bear to have the child
in her sight
Consequently he spent most Of his
time, half clothed and badly fed, roll
ing about in the peat boys which were
behind the cottage.
Little by little 1t was noticed that
the child was improving in health,
that his skin was becoming as fair
and soft as a peach, his eyes bright
and his spirits and actions those OF a
strong, healthy boy instead of half
witted little animal.
The old country physician on one
of his rounds noticed the improved
condition of the boy and mentioned
that fact and the cause at medical
conference in Paris.-New York Her

Vodka the eane Of Russia.

II is well known that the Russian
people are extremely slow in all. their
movements, which has been attributed
to many causes. The latest writer on
the subject places the blame on the
national intoxlcant, vodka, asserting
that II produces a lasting and ingrow.

unfortunate enough to sober up be-
fore week has passed. the slightest
rapid movement will reproduce an ex-
cellent duplicate OF the original. AS
the Russian government derives a
large revenue from the sale OF vodka,
there is stringent law against get
ting twice drunk on one spree, and as
a consequence citizens must exercise
caution. The famous Russian baths
were constructed at great expense
both for punitive measures and as a
means Of putting the consumer again
in the ranks.

Preparations are now being made
by the postoi,lce department for the
weighing Of the mails as a basis for
contracts with the railroads for the
transportation Of mail matter. These
contracts involve the expenditure Of
many millions Of dollars, and more or
less scandal has attached TO the trans
actions. The government does not
pay for the actual number Of pounds
of mail carried. The pay is based on
an average ascertained by weighing
mails for period Of thirty days.

Distant sound heard distinctly fore
bodies no good weather. II the sun

pitcher sweating and the teakettle
boiling dry also indicate rain. Cob
webs thickly spread upon the grass
are an indication of fair weather.
Animal life seems, according to the
popular notion, to have peculiar
warnings regarding the weather
changes. Some of these are explain
able by natural causes. II is a fact
recognized by all intefligent stock

Ancient Canadian Castles.

To Americans castles are associated
with the stored Rhine, picturesque
England or France and Spain, but 1t
is interesting to be reminded by the
st. John (P Il. ID News that there
are number of ancient Canadian
castles still existing the chief ones
being st. Ours, Rimouski. st. Eus-
tache, Lotbiniere, Monticello, Ste.
Marie de la Beance, Vaudreil, Rou-
vile, and, most interesting of all, the
Chateau de Ramezay at Montreal.
The latter was built in 1865 by Ger.
trude de Ramezay, at that time gov.

Hon. Moses Thatcher and family
are spending few weeks in Logan

The brick yards are put to their full

bad sign for the county.
Work Is being resumed again on the

The stock holders of the Oneida IT.
rigation district, comprising that sec.
tion of country from Mink Creek SOUTH
west to the Utah line, will hold a
meeting In the near future to consid-
er the propriety Of rcbonding the
district. The first bonds issued were
for 1884 900, which amount it is found
will only carry them TO Clifton, not
including the two syphons across Bear
river and Deep creek. Considerable
more money must be raised in order
TO complete the project The work
thus far has been pushed with vigor
and determination and it IS TO be hoped
that the enterprise will be carried to a
successful issue.
1t developes that the deal for the
r. X. Thomas building was made for
David Eccles. Messrs Howell g. Craw-
ford, represented as the purchasers Of
the building have transferred the
deed to Mr.. Eccles. Just what David
Eccles wants with that property is a
question. 1t goes without saying
that Mr.. Eccles doesn't put his money
into property or enterprises that do
not pay him good money, and the
question rises, what does Mr.. Eccles
see in prospect for Logan that leads
him to such an investment. Logan
as IL is today can not make him big
money on his $4,000 tied up there.
Some one inclined to feel that the
great sugar magnate sees further into
the future than most of us who can
not look at the situation from his
heights.

All Positions Have Drawbacks.

Every position in the world has its
drawbacks, every line of work has its
disagreeable side, and failure many
times can be traced to this sinking
from attending TO the disagreeable,
seemingly unimportant, or difficult,
task. A mother breads to punish her
child. She cant bear the scene 1t
will cause, and she lets the small err
ror go uncorrected until 1t grows
great.
An employer thinks 1t mean and
small TO speak to his help about be-
ing on time; and so the few moments
are lost each day, other leaks are not
stopped, and his business is ruined.

FEARED BURIAL IN TRANCE.
Unhappy Existence Led by Victim OF
Peculiar Disease.

Peculiar Disease.
I'm one of my voyages from Cape
Town TO England" writes a traveller,
man, whose name was Lazarus. He
made me promise that II he should die
during the voyage would prevent
his burial at sea. He said that on a
previous voyage he had fallen sick
and was taken for dead and put into
sack for burial A quartermas;er
had been put on to watch the body
until II was time for the funeral.
When the burial party arrived, the
ouartermaster informed the captain
that he. thought the body had moved
In the sack. The sack was opened and
Lazarus eventually came to life again.
Such was the story Lazarus told me.
Lazarus was a thin man, with a sal
low face. He had an enormous appe-
lite and appeared at every meal. TO
which he devoted his whole energies.
The good feeling only seemed TO add

about half way to our voyages end.
he apparently died again. The doctors
took him in charge this time, however,
and he came out Of his trance without
any shotted-sack episode. He WAS met
at the London docks by a number OF
relatives and friends. all Of whom
looked as II they might be suffering
from the same complaint"

Sunday Storms.

One of the Greater Boston pastors
cautions his people against the Sc
ductive seriousness OF Sunday
storms" and says: "A few inches of
snow or a drizzle of rain on Sunday
takes the resolution out of strong
men; and for women, far from in
validism, makes worship quite out of
the question. The same amount OF
weather on Monday would be laughed
at as an obstacle. Oh for that in us
that will make and keep us weather
proof on the Lords day" As there
are many pastors who face more emp
ty pews on stormy Sundays than this
one, we extend this warning. The

CATCH EN-, HANG EN-.

II again becomes necessary to rail
against those boys, drunken hood
lumns, or "brainless idiots" who insist
on destroying the trees along the
boulevard to the A. G. Of U. The city
council has spent a considerable sum
Of money in making the boulevard
what IL is today, and that investment
will some day result in a splendid
drivway with beautiful trees on each
side and good sidewalks, if it can be
saved from destruction for few years
Quite recently reprobateS have mutt
lated a number of the young trees
with knives, stripping the bark from
the trunk and limbs. Only a week or
more ago some one set tire to the dry
grass on the hillside and this Scorched
very severely a number of the trees.
Early in the spring a number of the
trees were broken or twisted off by
some unhung scOundrel. Up-to-date
the perpetrators OF this vandalism
have not been caught, and we are not
familiar with any extraordinary effort

ODD MEANS OF LIVELIHOOD.
Occupations Of orientaIs That Appear
Strange to Us.

The trade of tooth-stainer, followed
III Eastern Asia. Is as odd calling
as any. The natives prefer black
teeth to the whittier kind, and the
tooth-stainer, with a little box OF
brushes and coloring matter, calls on
his customers and stains their teeth.
The process is not unlike that of
backing a boot, for fine polish is
given to the teeth. The pigment used
is quite harmless. In Arabia the
trade of "gossiper" has many follow
ers. The "gossiper" collects all the
news, tittle-tattle, jokes and stories he
can get hold of, and then goes from
house TO house retailing them. II he
has a good manner, and can adapt his
recitals to his audiences, he makes a
very fair income.
