Every one remembers the dog of i
ITysses, w lio died in greeting his mas
ter just returned from his long wander
ings, and t he story shows the consider
ation in which the dog was held in the
heroic aires of (ireeei.
The old 1'ersians, too. held the dog In
high esteem ; to the Jl&izians ilf -was a
sacred animal, the representative and
friend of Ormuzd, th lieneticent, and
the great satraps were distinguished
by their trains of hunting dogs, as was
the King himself, and Xerxes set out
for the conquest of (ireeee surrounded
by a great body guard of faithful
dogs.
Those most highly prized by the Per
sians came from India, so called, prob
ably from the Bactrtan regions,
where tho dog is still liulU in high
repute.
Captain Woods tells us that the old
fashioned I'zbeg would think it no insult
to be asked to sell his wifo, but would
re.sent an offer for his dog as an un
pardonable affront; while among the
lKirdertril.es of Turkestan the epithet
of the dog seller is one of the profound
cst contempt.
Indeed, the birthplace of nations la
probal 'ly the original home of the dog,
and w hen our Aryan ancestors legan to
migrate westward from their aiiejent
seats with their flocks and herds they
brought with them, no doubt, their
fierce and faithful dogs, who have lft
their descendants of to-day the English
mastiff, the l'yrenean sheep dog, the
Albanian wolfhound.
Ancient laws, too, record the esti
mation in which the dog was held. " A
herd dog that goes for the sheep In the
morning and follows them home at
night is worth the best ox," says the
ancient laws of Wales.
The best herd dogs of the present day
perhaps are tlwi Breton sheep dogs

The Trouble that Overtook a Merchant
Who was Timid but not Cautions.
Mr. Anderson Bradley thought that a

Territory could not fail to yield hand
some profits. He opened a store in the
Ouoetaw nation about two mouths ago.
The other day he returned to Little
Bock. His clothes were much worn and
his manly physique appeared to have re

" Why, Anderson." eaid a friend,
" you do not appear to be enjoying
yourself."
" No. I am not lioisterously happy."
"What has liecomeol yourfctore in the

I went up there I found a man who
wanted lo sell his store. He offered the
establishment at a very reasonable rate
and a- I had the cash I bought it. I re

myself on the road to prosperity.
"Several days afterward a man walked
briskly into the store and said:

"I shook hands with him for he looked
as though he might become a good cus

Why did Files leave so suddenly?
ho asked, meaning the man from whom
I bought t he store.

" He went behind the counter and going

I was determined to treat him with
politeness, but I soon found it neces

"He turned to me and remarked :
"'As the dull season is coming on
I reckon I'll have to get along -without

" What do you mean?' I demanded.
I mean that I'll have to discharge
you. Biles had no authority to hire any

THE "OLD LEATHER MAN."
Strang's Pilgrim XVhrt Pnrrlra
Good Teopla of Connecticut.
the
The " Old Leather Man " Is the one ob
ject of mystery and curiosity In the
Naugatuck valley. His life is and has
been a strange one, and clad entirely in
leather he ha roamed over a fixed route
for nearly twenty-eight years, liv ing in
huts and" caves, harming neither person
nor property and refusing gifts of
charity.
He comes and goes over the same
route, visiting each place with a regu
larity and preciseness which would lead
one to suppose that he was travelling on
an exact schedule of time laid out by
him, and from which he must not
vary.
Who this Individual Is, where he came
from, ami the occasion of his mysterious
wanderings, are more a matter of conjec
ture than of certainty.
That he is of French extraction there
can "tie no doubt ; for yesterday w hen I
spokrt to him in English, and then in
Spanish, he made no response ; but,
when in French, I asked him where
he was going, he replied. In French,
that ho " interfered with nobody, and
w ished nobody to interfero withhim."
Every effort to get him to speak after
ward was fruitless, except when I asked
him if I could give him u little money,
and, with a look of Indignation, he de
clined my proffer of charity.
This strange pilgrim is aliout OS years
of aie, is a French Catholic, and Imagines
he is doing eiiaiiee for some sin by the
life he leads. He wears no nnderelut hing
except ing in the coldest weather, and then
only an old knit jacket.
No one ever offers him the shelter of
their roof, simply because of the great
mystery about him. Noone si--m- afraid
of hiie in the daytime, except children,
who will run and hide from the time he
appears till he passes out of sight.
What little is known of him has been
gathered by piecemeal. Mr. Gordon the
tanner, once oiled his bather suit for
him, and has frequently given him small
ph-ees of leather, but has never b.en
able to fathom the great secret under
which the man lives.
Several efforts have been made to
bribe him ami have his picture taken,
but they have been unsuccessful till a
short time ntro, when a photograph of
him wa- obtained secretly, and which
reveals distinctly his features and every
wrinkle ami stitch in his eccentric cos
tume. Summer and winter this Connecticut
curiosity pursues his course, with clock
work regularity braving the storms of
winter and the ln-at of summer. He
steadily plods along his way, asking
nothing of any one, doing no act of
wrong, but doing penance for the wrong
which ho did or supposed ho did long
years ago. Exchange.

The Choice of Oranrea.
To very many an orange is an orange,
the only variation distinguishable being
In Fizo and tirresHndiiig price, while
those who know the difference between
"Florida,"" Seville" and "Messina"
oranges are considered experts. The
" Florida Catechism " tells us belter than
that.
We learn from it that there are "over
thirty '' varieties of sweet oranges, not to
mention the " natural stock," which is a
larger nml handsomer fruit than the
sweet orange, and is excellent for orang.s
ado and marmalade, but, being very sour,
is seldom shipped North.
The medium sizes are apt to bo the
choicest, ami " probably the very sw eet
est orange that is marketiM is the ru.-ty-coated
and rather ill-looking orange,
which might be considered Inferior by an
amateur."
Furthermore, "The way to detect
oranges In to heft' them in your hands;
pick out the thin-sk'uuied heavy fruit,
and you arc all right." The light-weight
fruit is apt tn If jnicele-s. a condition
caused either by a slight freezing while
on the tree, or, more probably, by the
poverty nf the soil in w hich it grew.
All this applies to the sweet oranges.
The ' kid glove" oranges are grown in
Florida from two stocks brought rcsM'e
tively. from China and Tangier. Hence
they are called Mandarin and Tangerine
oranges.
Both are small ; the skin Is loose, and
ea-ily removed, and the oeti..iis fall
apart so readily that a lad i-ai :.'

the name.
Sums other bits of interesting informa

instance, that "an orange that is entirely
dead ripe in Becember will hang om the
tree until March and is ready at any
time to be picked and shipped ;" while so
far from deteriorating, "the longer tiny
hang on the tr.es t he sweeter t hey grow."

AFTER A QUARTER OF A OTSTTOY.
An Escapod Cnlnn Prisoner Recognised by
a Ldhby Official.
A few days ago a gray-haired old man
was In one of tbe hotels of this place
when a stranger got off a train which
had just arrived, and passed through the
waiting room. He eyed the old man
closely, and over the face of the latter
there flashed a look of recognition.
"Pardon me," said the stranger, "your
face has a familiar look, yet I cannot
place you. Perhaps I am mistaken."
" Oh, no." said the elderly gentleman.
" I know you are not mistaken. I know
you like a book."
" Indeed?"
" Yes, sir. You used to board with
me."
" Is't possible?" aaid the stranger.
Yes, sir; and you left without paying
your board."
" That, sir, cannot be," was the indig
nant man's answer, as ho became more
and more confused.
" And." continued the old man, "you
left in the night and neglected to take
your luggage."
By this time the stranger was furious.
He grew red with anger, and intimated
that only the gray hairs of his tormentor
saved him from violent treatment.
" Oh, you needn't get mad." said the
old gent, remaining provokingly cool.
" You did all these things, and I can
prove it."
" See here, old man, who are you, and
where are you from?"
" I. sir. nm ('apt. Jack Warner and you
are Quartermaster Murphy, and you es
caped from Libl.y while I was Quarter-ma-ter
