much disturbed, pops out to see what the matter can be. Many of the animals remain under ground until th are drowned, and their bodies float the surface. After such a hunt. In which many pounds of prairie dogs are generally secured, there is a feast for many days In the Navajo huts.—New York Commercial Advertiser. The Time For Planting; Bulbs. There Is no definite rule to be laid down as to the length of time In Willet bulbs should be left In cold storage An a general thing, top growth will not begin until root growth Is completed This nearly always takes from sIJ weeks to two months.

By bringing bulbs to light and warmth at Intervals of a week oi ten days wo secure a succession oi bloom which makes It possible for us tc brighten our windows with their beau tlful flowers during the greater part ol winter.—New Lippincott.

lint tiesnake Flags. After the rattlesnake had been adopted as an emblem and had appeared on the flags of several of the colonies Benjamin Franklin defended the device on the grounds that the rattlesnake is found only in America; that all serpents’ emblems were considered by the ancients to be symbols of wisdom; that his bright, lidless eyes signify vigilance; that he never attacks without first giving fair warning of his presence; that his rattles, while distinct, are so firmly joined that they cannot be separated without being ruined forever, and that us lie grows older the rattles increase in number, as it was to be hoped the colonies would. Indeed this idea was made use of in a flag device which represented a rattlesnake with nine joints, each joint lettered with red silk. The head was marked “N. E.” (New England), the remaining sections “N.Y.,” "N.J.,” “Pa.,” “Md.,” “Va„” “N. C.,” “S. C.,” and “Ga.” This curious standard was discarded for the one made by Mrs. Ross In Philadelphia in 1777, a flag similar to the United States flag of today, only with fewer stars. Only PnrjuiliiK His ProfeNHion. A Brooklyn magistrate recently had four darkies who were caught in a gambling raid before him. The first of the lot to be brought to the bar was an undersized man, with a comical face, as black as night. The dialogue between the magistrate and the prisoner created some merriment in the court. "What is your name?” inquired the magistrate sternly. “Mah name's, Smiff,” replied the darky. “What is your profession?" “I’ze a locksmiff by trade, sah.” “What were you doing when the police broke into the room last night?” “Judge, I was pursuin’ mah profession. I was makin’ a bolt for the door.” “Officer,” said the magistrate, with a merry twinkle in his eye, “lock Smith up.”—New York Tribune. A Matrimonial Inducement. Algernon—Ah; my dear boy, so glad to see you. And how is your suit with Miss De Rich getting on? Augustus—Weally, my boy, I can't say that I’ve made much progress so far, but I believe I’ve hit on the right idea now. Do you see this dawg? “Os course. What a delightful pug! Just like the one Miss Du Rich ad mired, by the way.” “It’s the very one, my boy. She went into ecstasies over it at the dawg show.” “Ah, I see. So you’ve bought it for her?” “No, for rayself.” “For yourself? What good can that do you?” “Why, my boy, can't you see? Bai Jove, the dear girl will have to take me or lose the dawg, you know!” What He Had Head. An unlettered Celt's application to the Philadelphia court of naturalization resulted in the following dialogue: Judge—Have you read the Declaration of Independence? Applicant—No, sir. Judge—Have you read the constitution of the United States? Applicant—No, sir. Judge—Have you read the history of the United States? Applicant—No, sir. Judge—No? Well, what have you read? Applicant—Oi have red hair on me head, your honor. Too Regular. “For ten years," said the new partaker at a boarding house, “my habits were as regular as clockwork. I rose on the stroke of 6. Half an hour later I sat down to breakfast At 7 I was at work, dined at 12, ate supper at 6 and was in bed at 9:30. I ate only healthy food and hadn't a sick day in all that time.” “Dear me!” asked the deacon In sympathetic tones. “And what were you in for?” An awful silence ensued.—Kansas City Independent. Wliat Ethan Allen Said. A lecturer on the mistakes of history says that Ethan Allen did not utter at the taking of Fort Ticonderoga the ringing phrase associated with that event in the mind of every schoolboy. Instead of informing the British commander that be demanded the surrender of the stronghold "in the name of the great Jehovah and the Continental Wmgress,” he shouted, "Come out ot' that, you old rat!” The Boundary Line. A well known judge on a Virginia circuit was recently reminded very forcibly of his approaching baldness by one of his rural acquaintances. “Jedge," drawled the farmer, “it won't be very long 'fo' you'll hev to tie a string around yer head to tell how fer up to wash yer face.”—Harper’s Magazine. The Modern Method. "1 am writing a story of a struggling Inventor.” "It won’t do,” answered the abruptly critical friend. “Inventors don't struggle nowadays. They let the people who are eager to buy stock do the struggling.”—Washington Star. Your IlloKrnpliy, Here is your biography In n nutshell: “Born, welcomed, caressed, cried, fed, grew, amused, reared, studied, examined, graduated, in love, loved, engaged, married, quarreled, reconciled, suffered, mourned and forgotten." ?

Plural Names es Edible Flab. A few days ago I was asked by a foreigner, “Why do you say ‘two herrings’ and ‘two soles’ and not ‘two cods' and ‘two salmons?' ” I do not think my answer was very satisfactory, but the question suggested the thought that there are several cases in which it would be difficult to say whether there Is anything like a consensus of opinion as to whether a plural form of the name of a fish is admissible. We all speak of soles, herrings, sprats, lampreys and anchovies, the singular form never, I believe, doing service for the plural. No one, I think, says mackerels, cods, salmons, trouts, breams, shads, carps, plaices, basses, barbels. Sturgeon, perch, mullet, pike, turbot, tunny and skate have not unusually the plural form in “s.” Fishermen and fishmongers are inclined to avoid the plural form In some Instances where it is employed by the majority of educated people. In some cases there is considerable uncertainty. This I have ascertained by means of a fair number of tests. Among them are carps, shads, tenches. Compilers of English grammars, so far as my experience goes, in treating of piural forms of nouns make no note of the names of ash which do not vary in the plural.— Notes and Queries. Thackeray as a Showman. In Thackeray’s case the justification of artificial names, if it be right to speak of justification, lies in this, that with all the solid reality of the life portrayed we are never allowed to lose sight of the author and his art In portraiture. He is ever at hand to underline the snobbery or laugh off the pathos. There is a strong strain of the satirist in him, and satire is akin to allegory. There is even a strain of the caricaturist ready to emerge in the midst of his noblest art. He is especially fond of putting on the airs and graces of the showman. His preface to “Vanity Fair” is beaded “Before the Curtain.” and this great novel of real life concludes with “Come, children, let us shut up the box and the puppets, for our play is played wut.” And we accept Thackeray’s showman’s humor.—Blackwood’s Magazine. Innocent Girl. sarcastic Father—Julia, that young man Smily has been here three nights In succession, and it has been nearly midnight whvii he left. Hadn't you better invite him to bring his trunk and make his home with us? Innocent Daughter—Oh, papa! May I? It was just what he wanted, but he was too bashful to ask you. He’ll be delighted when I tell him this evening.

“Pin Yonr Faith to Enk’s” W I® V “THEY’RE GOOD.’’ DR. JOSEPH ENK’S HOMEOPATHIC PREPARATIONS High-class, twentieth century medicines, many years in advance of prevalent systems. Seventy remedies for seventy different diseases. Each remedy prepared expressly for a single disease. Cure a greater proportion of cases than the best physicians in their practice Cure so-called “incurable” cases after they are given up by physicians. We have records of marvelous cures, and the remedies create a sensation in all communities where they are introduced. Cures are speedy and permanent. Prices bring them within the reach of the poorest in purse. John A. Rosenbush, druggist of Union City, Ind., says “I have used the Euk Preparations personally and in my family and sold thousands of bottles in the last three years with the most perfect satisfaction. We have many families here that rely upon these Preparations in all cases of sickness, and they certainly get along with less trouble and expense than their neighbors who stick to the old methods." Our pamphlets, “Short Road to Health." and “ Treatise on Private Diseases,'* free to all by mail or of druggists.
