A liailroad Dug. 1
Napoleon Is a dog residing at SilicU,
Col., belonging to an engineer of the
DeiiYer and lllo Grands railroad. lie
has been engaged with his master for
the past two and a half years in iun-
nicg loccuiotivo No. 60. His appren
ticeship commenced at the early age of
six months. Ilia first trip was not a
success cn account of fright. This waa
speedily overcame, lie can now co
Into the roundhouse, where twenty
eight engines are domiciled, sinele out

the absence of fcis master and the fire-
mac, defend it against all intruders.
lie rides on the fireman's side of the
cab, with both front paws and head
hanging out of the window, intently
watching the track.
Ho frequently scenes cattle a mile or
mure distant. When they appear in
Bight he becomes ereatlv excited. looc
ing first at the cattle and then at hia
master, aa though trying to make him
comprehend the giayity of the sitaa
tiou. t)a nearer approach he sets up a
cry similar to that of a human being.
If necessary to come to a full atop, he
bounds out of the cab, rnna ahead and
loses no time in convincing the tres
passers of the importance of finding
soma, other sUrnpicg ground.
"When necessary to communicate with
help at the pumping atatiocs, frequent
ly at long distance from the track, a
nute is wriUtn ami giving to the dog,
who delivers it and eptcdily return;
with a reply.
Signals to start from his own engine
are rtadily Interpreted by him, but he
pays no more attention to the whistles
and bells of other entities than to cattle
that may be surely grazing oo the side
of the road. His olfactory powers are
so keen that he hai frequenty givsa bia
maater timely warnirg against stock,
that, if struck, miut have resulted
disastrously. IIj is well known to all
railroad employes betwota O-Jen and
Salida. If accidentally Itf. at auy of
the stations, he returna to Salida on the
first train.

River, for a distance of miles, ia cover
ed with boatd. which form ttie resi
dences of a numerous population.
Land is valuable in China, and it ia
presumed that the rent of the river is
merely nominal.
Tbe Cuiuese not only live on the
rivera but tbey also use tbem for gar
dining purposes. In tbe month of
April a bamboo raft, ten to twelve feet
long, and about half aa wide, is pre
pared.
Tbe poles are lashed together, with
iuterstices of an inch between each

which receives the seed.
The raft is moored to the bank in
still water, and require co further at
tention. The rtraw soon gives way and
the soil also, the roots drawing 6apport
from tbd water alone.
In about tweut? days the raft be
comes covered with the creeper (i po
me a; raptans), and its stems and roots
are gathered for cooking. In autum its
small white petals and yellow stamens,
rustling among tha round leaves, pre
sent a very pretty appearance.
Tbe chief nae, however, is to raise
vegetatles for tha owner's family, and,
with bait a dozen of these, a Chinaman
will have enough and to spare.
In tbe lower Vang-tse Kiang and the
IIoang-TIo Rivers extensive rice fields
are cultivated in this manner. Upon
rafts constructed ai above, weeds and
adherent mud are placed as a flooring,
and when the riee shoo'.s are ready for
transplanting they are placed in the
floating soil, which, being adhesive and
held in pUce by weedroots, the plants
are maintained in position throughout
the season, the rice ripening in from
sixty to seventy days.
The rafts are fastened to tbe shore
by cables, and these floating fields have
served to avert famine, whether by
drought or flood. When other fields
were submerged and their crops sodden
or rotten, the?e floated and flourished,
and when a drought prevailed, thc-y
subsided with the falling water, and.
while the soil around was arid, ad
vanced to maturity.

The native races along tbe southern

A good authority tells us thst not
long since a Jady and centleman were
conversing on the sciinco of grammar.
'Tray, maii-m," said the gentleman,
'Hhat part of speech is a kias ?"
"Iteally, I can't tell," she replied,
thoughtfully.
"I think it must be a substantive,"
he continued in an uncertain tone.
"A noun ?" she asked "kissing a
noun ? Then is it proper or common ?"
Bmlling at him in tbe most innocent
manner.
"Wfcy why is is b?tb," he assert
ed positively. "I am sure it is both
proper and common." Then, la a
whisper, "Lt me prove it to you."

The TTay to Pour Tea.
There J more to be learned about
pouring tea and coffee than most rao-
ple are willing to believe. If those de
coctions are made at the table, which ia
far tte best way, tbey require exper
ience, judgment and exactness. If
they are brought oa tbe table readv-
made, it still requires judgment so to
apportion them that they shall prove
eufScient in quantity for the familv.
and that the elder members shall have
the stronger cups. Often persons pour
out tea, who, not being at all aware
that the tea grows stronger as they pro
ceed, bestow the poorest cup upon the
greatest stranger, and giv" the stronger
to a very young member of the family.
who would be belter without anv.
Where several cups of equal streneth
are wanted, you should pour a little In
to each, and then go back, inverting
the order aa you 011 them, and the
etrenlh will be apportioned properly.
An earthen pot is by far best for
brewing ; the tea may then be poured
into a silver pot if desired. Heat the
pot and pour the water out before put
ling in the tea required, filling up at
once with boiling water ; set from the
fire about tea minutes to draw, then
pour out as above.
Words of Wisdom.
Adversity undermines many a struo
ture or prosrerity.
They never need fear a fall who
never scale tbe heights.
lie who wisely uses his wealth need
not leave it for his tombstone.
"True genius stalks abroad in the
full light of day.
Prosperity awaits all men, and even
pursues some, but It is never found in
the haunts of vice.
Tbe sight of a man's money is often
times the antidote for tbe odor of a
very bad character.
Tbe wisest fi3b long escapes the most
dasgerous books, and is finally caught
with a bentsup pin.
The ambition of youth looks forward
to tbe triumphs of age, while sated age
turns back a wistful eye along the rosy
path of youth.
It is well tbe book of life Is opsned
to us psge by page. Were al! the hard
lines bared at once the task would be
too hard to master.
There are many considerauions aside
from eure sentiment which conduce to
marriage. Convenier.ce, pecuniary ad
vantage, social elevation, business con
nectiots, all have their influence.
He who complains that the world is
hollow and hearties unconsciously con
fesses bis own lack of sympathy, while
he who believes that people as a whole
are kindly and humane is certain to
have the milk of human kindness in his
own nature.
The transfer of bees from a hive or
locality to another may be made in the
fall, but it must be done before warm
weather is over In order that tbe bees
may meLd and repair tbe comb and seat
up with propolis, but tbe transfer is
better made in the spring, as earlv as
early as the weather will permit. The
combs are more easly handled then,
having little honey. No process in.apl
culture gives a better introduction to
bees or more confidence to self than
transferring. After this is sccessf ully
done, do man or boy has any fear of
of bees.
There is nothing so elastic as the
human mind. Like imprisoned steam,
the more it is pressed the more it
rises to resist the pressure. The more
wa are obliged to do, the more we are
able to accomplish.
