all around. Tbo idea of the schoolmas-
. tcr strutting in upon his critical audi
onco in tights with a sword dangling at
his side was simply absurd. It is small
wonder that ho was greeted with shouts
of laughter, particularly from tbo la
dies. When our ambitious Richard
reached the line, "Oh, that this too, too
nolid flesh would molt," tbo shouts of
laughter were simply deafening and
ivoro hoard clear across the Dawson
jilacn to Squiro Dawson's residence.
Solid flesh in connection with tho reve

The laws, of tho Western States and
Territories ovcrwhero recognize and
protect tho right of tho first or "prior
appropriator ' of water. If the first set
' tier on tho banks of a stream draws oil
1 in his ditch, one-half or tho wholo of tho
customary flow to irrigato his farm, bo
has the right to tako this one-half or tho
wholo flow forever, to'tlio entire exclusion
of any subsequent settler. But tho samo
rule applies to rivers of largo size. As
the quick-witted Westerner stands by
tho sido of ono of tho great rivers and
looks over thousands of acres of deset
land along its banks ho sees a fortuno
in tho situation. Only got capital
enough together, organizo a great com
pany, dig an immenso canal which will
"appropriate"' all tho water in tho
river, and you command tbo wholo val
ley. It is the position of tbo Western
railroads repeated. Insteadof waiting
for settlers to como and dig Httlo
ditches as they need them, an immenso
capital digs one hugo canal watoring
thousands of farns, and then draws set
tlers by advertisement and boom. So
all over tho West, throughout Colorado,
in Central and Southern California, in
Montana and Idaho, on tho Salt and
Gila rivers, in Southern Arizona, there
are great companies, with capitals run
ning into tho millions, putting this idea
into fleet. Tho canals they dig aro
twenty, thirty or oven fifty miles long.
Tho largest aro a hundred feet wide
and ton feet deep, vory rivers in them
selves. They follow tho contour of tho
country, running back further and fur-
ther from tho river as tho latter falls
j away. Tho main canals give oil later
i al branches at frequent intervals, and
by an ingenious system of gates, cross
i ings and ditches sends water to ovory
J foot of arable ground botween it and
j tho river. Tho land belongs to tbo
Government, and is taken up by individ
ual settlers at merely nominal prices
' under tho "Desert Land act." But tho
j water holongs to tho Canal Company,
and it is this water that tho sottler
really pays for. Walter Gilletto Bates,

"Wo don't sign any bonds,"
"Don't want any llfo insuranco."
"Interviewers will please keep out."
The sign had been up a day or so when
tin old man opened tho door very care
fully and walked in, and after a bit ob

"Then profit by It," was tho brusquo

association composed of many of tho
nobility.
During tho last year 12.SS1 dogs have
been admitted to tho homo, most of
them being brought in by tho police.
! Over 1,500 wero restored to thoir own
ers, and an equal number found new
homes. Most of tho animals aro gath
ered from tho streets, whero they are
found wandering, and if sick or injured
aro painlessly destroyed. Tho dogs to
bo killed aro placed in an air-tight-apartment
largo enough to admit 100 at.
a timo, for sometimes a largo number
must bo disposed of at once, and by
means of apparatus chloroform is intro
duced, and tho poor creatures quietly go
to sleep never to waken.
A crematorium has been erected in
connection with the home, which is tho
common grave of tho dogs destroyed,
and tho bones aro afterward sold, tho
proceeds being used toward tho ex
penses of tho institution. Ono of tho
waifs, a noble great Newfoundland, now
owned by a lady who is interested in tho-
I home, begs upon tho wharves, and the
J last year collected in a box suspended
- from his neck about twentv-fivo dollars.
which, no doubt, from a grateful heart,
ho was- most happy to present to the
homo. Connected with tho dogs' homo is a.
cats' bouse, whoro stray Tommies aro
cared for and pot Tabbies aro boarded
to accommodate their indulgent owners;
and as more than S100 dollars was last
year received for board, it is quite
evident that this institution is appre
ciated. Tho Queen and tho Prince of Wales
aro the patrons of tho home, tho former
giving fifty dollars ovory year towards
its support. No dog is allowed to bo
taken away from tho institution unless
it is claimed or sold; all who enter tho
door of this homo may reasonably ex
pect forever after a comfortablo, happy
life. Well-Spring.

Driving a horso is not such an oxpon
! slvo luxury as one would supposo. Of
i course it costs lots of money to bo ablo
to drive a crack. A first-class trotter
costs as much as ono wants to pay. A.
I good 2:20 horse can bo bad for about
i 55,000. and a thousand moro can bo add
ed to that amount for ovory half second
be can go faster than 2:20 down to 2:12.
Those that can trot faster than that aro
phenomenal, and bring fabulous prices.
Axtell's price was 8100,000; Sunol's 50,
000, and Maud S.'s 40,000. A good
three-mlniito horse that can do fair work
, on the road can ho bought for S200. Of
course he won't beat every thing ho
1 moots, but he will make a good showing.
This is bow a bill for a horso and rig
would look:

Tho buggy, blankets, whip and har

The cost of taking caro of tho horse
would make a bill for a year look like
this one:

This would mean an outlay of aboutl

Theho will cost about 00. So that tbo

about S7 a wook to keep it. But then
