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. They never gripe or sicken, but cleanse and strengthen the stomach, liver and trowels.

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." Not Much. 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 ville Courier. Kodol Digests What You Eat.

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. mm CREAM Made from pure, grape cream oi tartar FOREMOST BAKING POWDER.
