Horned Rabbits.
As there has been quite a number of
"horned" rabbits killed in this county
this winter, and people think them
quite a curiosity, the following from
Frof. Lawrence Bruner of the state
university will give them some Insight
as to the cause of these "boms:"
"These horn-like growths about the
head and front legs of rabbits are cer
tainly Interesting. They are caused
by a small mite or spider-like creature
working beneath the skin in a similar
manner to the mange or Itch mites
which attack different animals and
birds. The continued Irritation by
these little creatures produces an un
natural thickening of the cuticle as
well as a deposition of horn-like ma
terial, which eventually assumes the
form." It would be Just as well for
those who kill rabbits in the future to
let them remain where they are killed,
and not dress and eat them, and then
be sure that they have not masticated
a diseased one, which Is liable to bring
the disease Into the family circles.
Never Gripe or Sicken.

Nebraska Men Tire cl School Teaching
on Account of low Wages.
Deputy state Superintendent Rishop
in reply to ijuestions In regard tj the
reasons for the remarkable decrease
In the number of male school teachers
in Nebraska, says: "Low wages is the
only cause of the decrease of male
teachers. The school teacher is very
poorly paid, and clerks and men In
other lines of employment receive
wages far in excess of what the teach
er works for. Teaching is a profession
requiring years of preparation and a
considerable outlay of money In the
preparation. The men who would
devote their lives to education If 11 v
Ing wages were paid cannot be expect
ed to continue the work when other
lines offer so much more Inducement.
"In 1871 men composed 52 per cent
of the teaching force In Nebraska, ac
cording to statistics compiled by the
state department of public Instruc
tion. In lio the male teaching force
was only Ki.5 per cent, and the indica
tions are that the percentage of men
teachers will be still smaller for the
last two years."

A supplement to the Weeping
Water Republican, containing a page
of Weeping Water advertisements and
a half page of Omaha ads, issued In
the Interest of "home patronage" was
received this week. In glaring head
lines It says: "l'rotect and build up
your home town!" Good logic Indeed,
but are these merchants building up
home Institutions when they patronize
a shppt like the one before us, printed
In Omaha, paying Omaha printers to
set the type and an Omaha Institution
for the space occupied by their ads
and then have the home printer clrcu
late the sheet as a supplement to his
paper In order to get the farce before
the public? Some people have queer
Ideas of standing up for home. Louis

"My best thanks toTriner's American

no doctor could cure me, although I

Our Solution.
A gentleman of much prominence
calls upon the Journal to demand a
public discussion and solution of the
problem confronting the old maids
that are rapidly accumulating in
Flattsmouth. Wc know we have our
full share of old maids but there is not
one of them but what could get mar
ried if they wanted to. They believe
In enjoying themselves a few years be
fore joining the fortunes or rather
the misfortunes of some trilling whelp
for whom nine times out of ten, she
will have to support the balance of
her days or suffer the disgrace of a
divorce suit. The old girls are all
right, and they simply show better
judgment than the sixteen-year-old
kidlet who struts tht streets because
of being man-struck. This is the
Journal's solution of the old maid
question.
