PEDIGREE rLTPlB." Who Know About Pot and Their Habits. One Dogf . . '-Yes I know a little about dogs," . said the breeder of fine pugs and aristo cratic terriers. u"We always Lave had them about the place, and I naturally raine to know how to manage them. Dogs are just about as varied as human beuigs; some are sagacious, some playful, others are dense as human bumpkins, and sullen, treacherous, sly, and faithful qualities are as apparent as in children and adults. "Fashions? Oh, that's all talk. There is no such thine as fashion in dogs, any more than there is in cats or horses. Occasionally some stock is im ported from a foreign country or breeder turns out a novelty by unusual crossing, and in either case if the pup pies ran le raised they are denominated rarities and will bring fancy prices. To illustrate, when the pug was imported from England it sold simply because it was rare and a pure bred specimen brought $100. There was some trouble in rearing it, but as soon as the trade learned how to take care for it the pro duction became large; whole litters were carried along without loss, and the sup ply reached the demand. A ow the pedi gree puppies can be had at $20, and it': hard to tind buyers at that. There i n allv no money in them for the reason tl at thev are being crossed with all sorts of curs, and the breed is fast dying out Naturally the rug is full and very thick from shoulder to hip; but in crossing the breed the body thins out. They are of all dozs the least doggish; they are instinctively dull, can't be taught any thing, and do nothing but sleep and look uslv. "It is a light compliment that the American ladies favored them. Never sold one to a man in my life, and I have receipts for several hundred. Their only charm lies in the fact of their harmless- liess, and for that reason tbey are recog nized as prime nursery dogs. "Of all the iets the toy or blue terrier ranks first. It takes its name from the tinge of the hair, and its very diminutive size accounts lor the other name or toy, it being the very smallest in any of the terrier litters. It is very delicate more so than any of the other puppies, and as hard to raise as a baby. The thorough bred never weiglis over three and one- half iwimls, and there is always a mar ket lor it ranging from $ o to o0. "One of my jedigree puppies, a toy by the way, I sold to Mile, Aimee, and I believe it h;is cost her $000 in the way of rewards and ads. A few weeks after she lought him lie was stolen and she wired me to hunt him up at any cost. I went about the task scientifically, found that the night she was to leave a couple of piano men had taken off an instrument. I followed up me movers, and in two weeks learned that the thief. who lived on the North side, had sent it over on Twenty-ninth street for safe keeping. When I was sure of my game I got a replevin writ and a roliceman, and the toy, which I boxed up and sent to Milwaukee, where the actress was waiting for it. She had a little silk bag made, in which she puts 'Jack' and in that way is able to smuggle him into hotels, stcamsliiiw, parlor-cars, and oth er places where dtgs are debarred. Jack is a French dog, by education, doesn't understand a syllable of English, but is as sagacious an animal as I ever knew. The Yorkshire is the pride of the En glish. None ot the terriers are good for ;inytbing but pets. We do, however, raise them for ladies and gentlemen. When a lady sends an order, her dog at birth is collared and trained how to sit on a carriage or sofa-cushion, and taught how to follow closely. The man's dog 1 put through ratter tactics, because that is ore ot the traits men admire in a pet. With the opposite sex it would embarrass the mistress to take her pet out strolling and have him snoozing for rats at eeiy crevice and nook." "Diseases? about two; distemper and weak eyes. Distemper comes from over and injudicious feeding. Give a grown dog about a pound of boiled liver and some weak milk once a day, allowing him two hours for his meal, and he will te as sound as a belL The milk must be diluted, as otherwise it heats the blood. The long hair that hangs about the eyes naturally weakens them. "Oh, yes, you have to wash them. A clean dog must have two baths a day in lukewarm water with castile soap. Then it must be rinsed in water of blood heat, dried quickly and combed with an elec tric wire brush, after whicli the coat is dressed with pomade. "This is, I believe the only private dog hospital in Chicago. I cliarge $3 a week, which includes board, bed, medi cine, exercise, and any attention, such as a shingling or thinning out the coat, cutting tne ears, etc. If the dog is rent in before his disorder has had time to lay hold of him I can cure him inside of a month from everv trace of the dis ease. My treatment includes a light medicated diet, regular bathing, and two hourV exercise liefore and after sunset. "The tails are cut at 8 weeks, leaving just three fingers. 1 do the job with a chisel, and it's a remarkable fact that the dog dont find it out till next day. The cut bleeds considerably, and isquite sore for three weeks, during wliich time the apiiendage lias to be dressed dally. Ear-clipping is much more of a task. and the dog is distressed and unwell for aiiout two and one-half months and nn less cared for will suffer constitutionally, e have to tie the legs ana get some one to hold the animal. I use a barber's scissors, and cut two ears together at a clip, bringing them to an acute point and of equal height. Then the sides must be scollojied and the howling of the poor victim is evidence of the pain mulcted.7' A ctmtnt that will resist sulphuric acid, even at boiling heat, may be made by melting caoutchouc at a gentle heat, and stir in from 6 to 8 per cent, of tab low. Then mix in enough dry slaked lime to make the whole the consistency of soft paste, after which add about 25 per cent, of red lead, which causes the mass to set hard and dry. A mixture of caoutchouc in twice its weight of linseed oil, and the addition of an equal amount of pipe-clay, will form a past! that will resist the action of most acids. A uovd flower has been found on the Istl.mas of Tehuantepec, at the San Jose hacienda, twenty-two leagues from the city of Tehuantepec. This floral chameleon lias the faculty of changing its colors during the day. In the morn ing it is white; when the sun is at its zenith it is red, and at night it Is blue. This red. white and blue flower grows on a tree about the size of the guava tree, and another peculiarity of this flower is that only at noon does it give out any perfume. During 1S83 the Mining Office of Fin land reports that the quantity of iron ores raised from the mines was small, but from the Finnish lakes and bogs not less than 38,000 tons were raised, at a cost of about $50,000. There were twenty-six furnaces In the coun try, of which fourteen were m blast, re turning about 18,000 tons of pig iron, for the manufacture of which were used 25.000 tons of bog and lake ore and 17,000 tons of imported ore. The num ber of workmen at the mines and works is estimated at 17,000. roTrot'cni in a china jar makes a room fragrant for months. A simple recipe for preparing it is this. Dry a half peck of rose petals in the sun, then put them ina stone jar and addtwo drachms or spikenard, one drachm of cum ben jamin, one-fourth drachm of cloves and orris root, three grains of musk, and oi.e-balt drachm of sal prunella. Breap all well and mix with the rose leaves. A JAPANESE VIEW. Outline Principles of Decoration ' seen by a Native. It is an error to regard fans as arti :les of decoration; at least, the Japae se themselves very seldom use them is such. There are exceptional cases. f course, as, where a fan has on it an lutosrreph line of certain emiment per- wnages (which is most frequently the case), or where some artist made it worthy of esteem for a touch of his Irtish. The like instances will be llmost innumberable, and under these :ircumstances a simple unornamented !an will make itself an object of much regard for its owner, and the introduc 'Aoa of such a fan into an elegant deco ration will elevate the graceful tone of the place. Otherwise we will never sear to see a bundle of mere wind pro iucers let loose, tacked against walls, iji read over bureaus, hung by posts, ind, in short, scattered all over an ipartment as if they were goods for sale. Nay to call that "dainty fan iecoration!" Xor do we pretend to appreciate those mostly fans much admired by the ladies af this country. The broad frames of polished ivory, on which are wrought "xtravagant carvings, and the shining fringes that adorn their edges, may lie "grand;" but, honestly, they look only awkward to our eves. When summer comes the bulk and weight of a fan of this description necessarily require a cer tain amount of muscular exertion to 3raw any draught; but then it is found out that the heat generated in the exer cise will generally be more than can tie fanned away by the drowsy flaps of this not easily manageable weapon; and after all the ladies are obliged to relate the history and the skilful workman ship of this favorite fan amid fainting breath and running perspiration: Now I hasten to mention lanterns ind umbrellas. Well, lanterns have some charms of their own. For in stance, take a plain glass-cased lantern and hang it in the deejening shades of i green bower on a summer evcniu; there you will perceive the very spot where liearlv dews lodge, and in the treaiii C its pale rays, you will even imagine vou were in the presence of cool uess herself. Or hang out a lot of paper lanterns in a gay row, over your win- lowsill and along your store fronts. The burning candles will wild tint from every one of your houses the air of joy and hilarity to join the prevailing fes tivity of any occasion. IJut the um brellas are very charmless things, and I have nothing to sav about them. Any way it was lieyond the genius f Jaiwn- ese people to bring either lanterns ot umbrellas into a richly decorated hall. and to dream the harmony with the glittering surroundings. If it were in .I.inan 1 should have pood reason to be offended at my being led as a guesl into place where lanterns and umbrellas are lymg scattered. The time and circumstances have led the Japanese to acquire that ieculiar taste of loving simple things with im aginative conceptions; and hence an aversion to the childish love of mere showiness and gorgeousness. Thus, the Japanese are totally disgusted with painted pieture panels and silk embroid ered screens, although they are. above others, well known in the foreign mar ket as Japanese rikhIs. They are altogether too vulgar for our taste, though we manufacture them, and wc supply the demands abroad. It is true, the sliding doom, the moveable screen?! the hanging panels, are all favorite and necessary furnitures ol the Japanese household decoration, but the point here is that we would rather have them framed and finished in a gentle and tasteful manner than ha e them debased with glaring and ostentatious colors or paints, and also that we would rathei have them minted with a serene moun tain scenerv or a poetic cuckoo flying in a moon than havetheui covered with cheap-looking embroidery work. The same sentiment forbids us to overlaid our rooms with mere curios. For this reason our bronze flower vase, however unique and rare a thing it ma happen to be, we always appreciate it better with fresh cut branches of trees planted in it than when it is kept top side down on a special stand just tc satisfy the visitor's curiosity. 1 condescend to say that our dwel lings generally Jack glaring contrast oi hues or abundant funutunug of chairs, sofas, mirrors, stands, etc., wliich aw so many sources of western comfort. lint it must lie owned that it is not the Japanese temper to extort wonder ami admiration under a glance. We art satisfied, if we find pleasure, in looking into our yard, where a hill rises in per fect likeness of serene nature, and a cascade ripples down a rugged preci pice into a pond lielow, enjoyed by a pair or two of happy ducks, fishing peacefully at the roots of growing reeds. Wc feel proud f the landscapes and birds and flowers upon our doors and screens are vivid enough to trans port our guest into an unconscious re citation of a lyric. The shelves, run ning not uniformly, but artistically; tht carved figures, not grotesque, bul quaint; the exposed posts, ncithei shaven nor stained, but polished until it is shining; the nails, insignificant and yet ornament headed, one by one, as tliey come into perception, will work immeasurable cliarm into the mind ol an interested observer. We have sometimes leen ridicuh-d al the lack of geometrical uniformity in our decoration, .-ut we never look ovei the harmony, for instance, we wili liang up our valuable pictures with 8 costly string instead of worthless wires, and the luxuriant plants we will keer in proportionally beautiful pots, insteao of crude wares of reddish brown earth Nor do wc overlook that impottant principle of art of decoration th change and refreshing; neither do wi overcrowd our rooms with the whole sale exhibition of all beautiful things we have. We display panels and pic tures sparingly at a time in their num ber; but we never allow the same ona to remain hung at the same spot over a season; they are displaced with the re served ones from time to time, thus giv ing the place the fresh and changed airs to suit the season and occasion. In fact, this system of "spare and cluinge" display a very sensible portion of Jap anese decoration, for our visitors will always find a chance to do honor to the correct taste of the host. How They Drink Bcr in Spain. They drink beer in a curious manner in Spain. A correspondent relates bow his guide, a Frenchman, by name of Laboisse, proposed to visit a brewery, operated by a firm with a German name. It was notable for its cool ac commodations. The weather was very warm, and a cool spot as well as a cool fatherland's draught was not to be de spised. As they entered they were confronted by some Andaluslan peas ants in their picturesque costume. Tbey had evidently come in to the cel ebration of some patron saint's festi val, and wished to gratify their curi osity with regard to the new strange drink styled "cerveza." Two bottles insecurely corked were brought, a large and a small one, also a soup dish, Into which Laboisse poured the contents of the larger, which had a beer-like color. The contents of the smaller bottle fol lowed, the fluid being of pale lemonade color. Laboisse stirred up the mixture before him with as much solicitude as though concocting a pineapple puncn. This was the custom of the country. The beverage, which savored more of out and hang on a line to dry and flat lemonade than of beer, was then when dry press off. Do not rinse o drunk out of small glasses. wring. , FARM HOTSX 1 A Few Words About Tcbkkts. In the bands of careful persona, breed ing turkeys is very profitable, but it is absolutely essential to success that tbey have plenty of range; unlike other poultry, turkeys require perfect liberty, nd cannot brook conflneinent. On ' trass and grain farms raising turkeys j cannot help being profitable, for they . bave plenty of ground to stroll over. , ind there is but little they can injure while they helpmaterially In keeping down insects. On a fruit farm, where grapes, strawberies etc., are grown, turkeys, ducks, geese and chickens are all destructive to fruit, unless kept within prescribed limits. Many a far mer's wife, and daughters too, know that most of their pocket money de pends on rearing a large flock of tur keys, and there are many others who tear a flock each year. In commenc ng. get a pair or trio of the best. Irres pective of breed though the bronze breed seems to be the leading and most popular one. and deservedly so, for they ire hardy, grow large size, and invaria bly command paying prices. Young airkeys are hardy after they get a full lress of suit feathers, bat are very frail wd tender before that time, requiring rreat care in feeding and housing lampness being fatal to them. What Kills Fruit Tbezs: Deep planting is one error to plant a tree rather shallower than it formerly stood a really the right way, whilst many plant a tree as they would a post. Roots are of two kinds the young and nder rootlets, composed entirely of jells, the feeders of the trees, always 'oucd near the surface getting air and noisture; and roots of oyer one year old irbich serve only as supporters of the tree and conductors of its food. Hence ie injury that ensues when the deli cate rootlets are so deeply buried in the ?artu. l'lacmg fresh or green manure in contact with the young roots is an other great error. The place to put manure is on the surface, where the elements disintegrate, dissolve and car ry it downward. Numerous forms of fungi are generated and reproduced by ;he application of such manures direct- y to the roots, and they immediately attack the tree. It is very well to en rich the soil at transplanting the tree, but the manure, if it be in contact with r very near the roots, should be thor oughly decomposed. If cows are allowed to dry and rest aooui six weeks berore calving tney 111 be In better condition when they some into fall flow again. It imposes i double duty on the cow to yield a large amount of milk daily, and also provide material for the growth ot the fetus and supply bodily waste. Give ser a respite, feed her well, and she rill produce a better calf and yield a larger proportion of muk. Never use coarse litter, as It pays to :ut ft with a cutter, and the animals will enjoy it lietter, while its fine quali ty will render it more capable of absor bing the liquids. All bedding should be used as much for its absorbent qual ity as for bedding purposes, and the labor of passing it through the cutter will more than be repaid when it comes to the time that ttie manure is to be baule3. as it will then be tine and easily handled. start new plants if you want any young ones for the house next winter. Select cuttings which break readily wheu bent never such as are hard or woody. Insert in sand, in shallow boxes, and keep the sand very moist. Never allow it to dry out or your cut tings will be ruined. La two weeks cat tings of most kinds of plants will have rooted. When two or three leaves have grown put the young plants in small pots. The New York TYvics says that hun dreds of millions ot bushels of corn are sold in the ear at the rate of 70 pounds to the bushel. This will do for some kinds of corn. But the ears of many varieties do not weigh 14 pounds some less than 10. Potatoes vary in weight from 40 to CO pounds, and a dozen eggs weigh from l to 30 ounces. 1 et au are sold for the same price. Ax important experiment has just been successfully made in transporting rresn fruit over the long route from South Australia to England. The fruit. various kinds of amiles, pears and grapes, was packed in sawdust and placed in a cold chamber kept at a uniform temperature of forty degrees, it arrived in JLondon in excellent con dition. Much of manure dropped by cows yarded over night in the barnyard is wasted. Unless the yard is well litter ed the llquu excrement Is lost, and the solid droppings dry away until much of their value is gone. Throwing the manure in heaps and applying a litt'e dry earth to the heap dally will prevent loss. Ax experienced horticulturist thus describes his mode of planting fruit trees: lie makes boles eighteen inches deep and three feet in diameter, fills in four inches of strong, short horse man ure, then two or three inches of street diit, sets the trees and fibs in with earth. Fuilip Gilbert IIamertox tells how he cured a dog at the habit of wor rying sheep by fastening the sheep by a strong wire under tha dog and compel ling him to drag the burden about wher ever ho went for a wtjole day. Similar treatment will cure a dog of wylng fowls. A sfrixo of water is better than a well for farm use, because it is always accessible, and water from it may be conveyed readily to other r4P-ts. Then if drainage suitably regulated will sup port constant flow, it establishes provi sion better than a well for watering farm animals. Aitle trees should not be trimmed to a crotch with two or more limbs. It is all right while the trees are young, but when apple trees begin to bear the crotch splits and the tree is ruined. Train one leader up straight, and the branches from this will be likely to break off when loaded. Let wool-growers go slow about dis posing of their flocks. With prices so low, the clip short, and wool necessari ly imported, there Is faint prospect for further decline. Mcttox sheep are likely to be rush ed to the market too freely. There will be a good demand tor all the good mutton sheep that can be offered, pro vided tbey are not sent to market in a lump. A brick, being about as porous as a lump of sugar aud having six sides, needs careful tilling for water-tight work in cesspools, etc, and a thin grout or porridge of cement is commonly used. Heating the brick and soaking before-hand in thick coal tar has been recommended. A man may lay com mon wall all his life without learning how to make brick water-tight.

Housekeep ers who dislike the tedious, old-time fashion of clarifying sugar and boiling the fruit will appreciate the following two recipes, no fire being needed in their preparation: The first is for "tutti frutti," and has been repeatedly tested with unvarying success. The second is from an English correspond ent: L Put one quart of white pre serving brandy or arrac de Batavia, into a two-gallon stone jar that has a tightly fitting top. - Then, for every pound of fruit in prime condition and perfectly dry, which you put in the brandy or arrac, use three-quarters of a pound of granulated sugar; stir everyday so that the sugar will be dissolved, using a clean wooden spoon kept for the pur pose. Every sort of fruit may be used, beginning with strawberries and ending with plums. Be sure and have at least one pound of black cherries, as they make the color of the preserve very rich. Strawberries, raspberries, apri cots, cherries (sweet andjour), peaches, plums are all used, and, if you like.cur rants and grapes. Plums and grapes should be peeled and seeded, apricots and peaches peeled and cut in quarters or eighths or dice; cherries also must be seeded. The jar must be kept in a cool, dry place, and the daily stirring must never be forgotten, for that is the secret of success. Vou may use as much of one sort of fruit as you like, and it may be put in from day to day, just as you happen to have it. Half the quantity of spirits may be used. The preserve will be ready for use within a week after the last fruit is put in, and will keep for a number of months. We have found it good eight months after making. 2. Take some pure white vinegar and mix with it granulated sugar until a syrup Is formed quite free from acidity. Four this sirup into earthern jars and put in it good, perfectly ripe fruit, gathered in dry weather. Cover the jars tight and put them in a dry place. The contents will keep for six or eight months and the flavor of the fruit will be excellent. To FREr-AKE Pickled Tomatoes. Take two dozen small ripe tomatoes; prick each one in two or three places, and carefully preserve the Juice that flows from them, keep it in a covered vessel until wanted. Tut the tomatoes in a layer in a deep earthern jar, and sprinkle a little salt between each layer. Place a cover on the jar, and let it re main undisturbed for three days. On the fourth day remove the tomatoes from the brine, wash them thoroughly and dry them very carefully, l'ut them into jars and add the juice which flowed from them at first. JJoil as much vin egar as will entirely cover the toma toes, with half an ounce of pepper, half an ounce of cloves and a table spoonful of mustard seed. The vinegar should be allowed to get cold before be ing poured into the jars. If desired some onions cut Into thin slices, or some celery finely minced may be added to the tomatoes. This pickle will be ready for use in a fortnight. The jars must be tied down and stored in the usual wav. Important (a Merchant Tailor.

The horse shies because he sees some thing imperfectly, or can not see at all an object which makes a noise the nature of whict he does not understand. If he has not bljnds to interfere with his sight he will shy Jess oiten. If you have a horse addicted to shying, remove the blinds and be kind to him lor a few days, until he has gained confidence iu himself and in you. This will effect a radical cure. Orange Sherbet.

PHEAVT TOrXGSTKR AT DIXXER. Attempts to Draw Him Into a Con- Tematlon A Strode oi Last winter I sat opposite one or those heavy youngsters at a dinner of sixteen plates. He took rather a viva cious voung married woman in and sat beside" her, with his smooth and com placent face held in the air, his eyes half closed and the corners of his mouth drawn down. There was an expression of severe reUcence and overwhelming reserve about him. He was about 23 years old. "I see you very often at the opera and occasionally at dances, Mr. Burke Jones," she began, "but you always come late, and drift off before one has a chance to nod to you." "They bore me," A pause. Then she continues: "I su pose you see so much of life that the more modest and unspiced en tertainments which we women consider so exciting are dull to you." "Yes." Another pause, lie glances with cold esteem at the soup and permits himself to taste the sherry. The oysters pass him in silence while a man across the table talks to the vivacious young married woman. She is exceedingly pretty, and her black eyes snap with the gossip, chatter and lights. She turns twice and looks at the solemn face beside her Then, evidently think ing she has betTitupid, she says, with a bright smile: "Of course you'ro going down to Jerome on the opening day." "If ever do the race." "Ah! I suppose you go in more for college sports; most men in your club do, I'm told." There was such a long wait after this that my neighbors a sister of tbe black-eyed talker suggested that I Bhould rescue the earnest little worker across the way. The solemn young evidently did not consider her last re mark worth a commen'. She waited and then made another dash. lie wouldn't talk about tbe opera music, the clubs, races, colleges or athletics, so she tried him on the theatre. Ko results. Then she asked him what steamer be bad last crossed in, and he said it was the Alaska. "Ah, she's a beauty," said the de termined conversationist. Then she went off into a monologue and told a charming little story about a love match which occurred on board that steamer at least she said it was that one when she crossed In September. Still the pompous ninny at her side said nothing. But she would not give him up without one more struggle. With what I've always claimed since was a stroke of genius, she got him off on the topic of London tailors, and he spoke at least twenty words before coming to a halt. Then the hard working little lady glanced over at us with trinmph beaming from ner eyes, and we felt like applauding ber efforts. But the ainner was over by this time ana sne did not try her skill with the reticent youth again.

Attention has again been called this time by Mons. J. Girard to the sup posed changes of level of the earth's surface reported from certain parts of Europe. Villages in the Jura which were hidden from each other no longer than forty years ago have gradually tisen in sight, while in a village of Bo hemia tbe inhabitants now see half of a distant church spire of which only the top was visible thirty years ago. Tbe apparent rising of these places must, it is thought, be a result of the warping of tbe solid crust of the earth.

Piso's Bemeiiy for Catarrh, By druggists. fiOc a Trnc-rirca who cannot Dreserve her serenity upon even the most critical occasions, is lacking in one of the most essential qualities of an enter tamer. The thoughtless spilling or her best wine, the soiling of her whitest tablecloth, nay, even the smashing of a whole trayful or her best old family china, should not cause one muscle of her countenance to change. On the other hand an affected Ignor ance respecting the contents of the day's bill of fare is at times almost as fatal as the opposite extreme. I was myself present at a dinner party at which one of the untutored stable helpers had been brought in on an em ergency to assist. "What are these, John?" inquired the languid hostess, as Jonn tremblingly thrust forward a dish or tartlets just under her right el bow. 'I dont know ma'am really," he replied, "but I think they're tup pence apiece!" "Hello, Fred, you here?" "Why, Harry, how are you, old man? Haven't seen you for an age," "Where you bound? Mt. Desert?" "No; Campobello, with my wife." "Oh, yes; you are married now. I forgot." "Yes; I have deserted the glorious brotherhood." "So that Emmett girl at Mt. Desert didn't catch you alter all. She made a gallant strugglo for you, though, old man. Let's see, I heard you married some one else, but pon my honor I for get the name." Emmett." "What, er " VYes; the same." "Oh." A tocno man got off a train at the Northwestern Railway station in Chicago the other day, and after walk ing slowly and laboriously up the short flight of stairs which lead to the wait ing room, stopping a few times on the way to rest, he looked around for a place to sit down. His wan, thin face, heavy eyes and general appearance of weakness and dejection attracted at tention, and a kind old gentleman ac costed the stranger and asked if he could be of any assistance. "Xo-o." the young man drawled out; "I guess I'll get along if 1 take my time to it." "Are you ill?" "Xo-o, I'm not sick. But I feel as if I were all broke up." "Been in an accident?" "Xo-o. I'm just tired, that's alL Thanks, you may call a hansom for me, if you will. Dont believe I could ever walk out to the street cars. I dont mind it you do carry my valise. I am so-o tired."

"In loafing. Those six men paving the street haven't done an hour s work all the morning." "How do you know?" 'I've been looking out of the window at them all the morning." Crown "What's the matter with you and Robinson, Dumley? I hear that he has threatened to pull your ears the first chance he gets." Dumley (jumping up and down) "He will, will he?

Once upon a time, when Joseph Bonaparte lived in the state of New Jersey, he was traveling to Xew York in his own carnage, attended by bis suite, and they stopped over Sunday at a country tavern. When tbey were about to start on Monday morning the bill was demanded but mine host could not conjure up items to make the foot ing over S92. The exiled Bonaparte grew impatient, and at last the laud lord, inspired by an original Idea, wrote: "To making a blanked fuss cenerally. fS."

A Massachusets paper adds one to the list, exhibiting this intelligent animal is a new capacity, that of a ne wspaper carrier. Passengers on the afternoon "scoot" train from Springfield may daily witness in West field an instance of canine intelligence worthy to go on record. Soon after the train passes the trap rock quarry on the outside of the track used by the exstward bound trains, a dog can lie seen racing along with the cars until a paper is thrown off by the baggage-master. The dog iastantly siezes it. and, after giving a bark of ac knowledgement, trots down the embank ment to the house of his owner not far away. The sagacious animal is ap parently of Newfoundland and St. Ber nard breed, and for three or four years has acted as news-carrier in the way de scribed. Every day except Sunday, summer and winter, lie goes to his post on the track at about the time the train is due, aud there awaits the throwing of the pair. It is said that he not only knows the hour when the train should come along, but that on one day in sev en there is no need for his services. Ajh parently the dog lias learned to know the whistle of his train from any other, for if in the road or yard when the whistle is sounded, half a mile down the track, he rushes for his station.
