From morning till night, and sometimes till lonx after dark, he may henr the echo of shots and the burking and howling of dogs ap proaching the town or dying away in the distant hills, and occasionally an wnred from far and near, as if all the sportsmen of the northern Alps had met in convention. For this is one ot the stations where Kriegshunde wnr dogs are trained. The plan of training dot? for military purposes was firstadopted by the Fn-ueh garrisons in Aluicrs, but has since hen tried with great soccers in Prussia, Italy and especially in Austria, where four footed messengers have for many years been taught to carry letters to the snow bound villuges of the Alpine highlands. Tho shaggy collies used for that purpose make the best war dogs and ran be trained to ruce iu u bee line to the next military post and announce their arrival by a peculiar bark that is at once recog nized and uuswered by the shout of u entry. They will also range a long chniu of hills in quest of wounded soldiers, and either dash back to report their discov eries or stand guard nt the side of the cripple till nu ambulance party comes near enough to bo signaled by a long drawn howl. Trainers send out threoor fourof their ahaggy pupils at once and ascertain their proficiency by all sorts of ingenious tests. Soldiers instructed to act the part of helpless cripples will hido in thickets or caverns and keep still till tho dog tugs t their sleeves, when they will sit up and reward his sagacity with a piece of sausage. They then try to rise, but pretend to be too weak to walk or even to shoot, and ask tho dog to call for assistance. If help is near, Collie will set up a loud howl, re peated at shorter and shorter intervals, till the signal is answered from the val ley below. If his appeals should remain unheeded, he will mount the next rock and look about as if to impress the lay nf the land on his mind, and then dash off to summon help from headquarters. Should two cripples intimate their need of aid at the same time, Collie will guide the rescuing party to the hiding place of the one farthest away, and help them to pick up or somehow assist the the other man on their way home. Messenger dogs carry letters In a small bag wrapped around their collar and will permit only the proper officials to touch that collar. A noncommissioned officer, displaying the Insignia of his rank, may venture to remove the bag, but the dog will follow him and see to it that he gets him an answer. Private soldiers are "stood off" with a menacing growl. Persons wearing the uniform of th enemy -cannot stop the messenger with anything but an ex tremely well aimed shot Dogs racing long the battle front -will dodge bullets by running ugcag and develop a mar velous talent for taking advantage of very cover, running through the high est grass or along the safe side of rocks and fallen trees. Picket post dogs are elected from a different breed. The half shepherd, half wolf dogs that carry letters and hunt up cripples are not entirely devoid of scent and can find their way back home in a manner not wholly explicable on the theory of keen eyesight. Bnt for effi ciency in the role of entries they yield the palm to a species of deerhonnds that do their best work after dark. On picket duty a well trained sentinel Of that breed will scent the approach of a troop of cavalry before a man, with his ear on the ground, can hear the tram pling of the horses. The dog sen try will announce his discovery in a more dis creet way than the Scotch widow who creamed through the citadel of Luck now when her "inner ear" heard the ap proaching bagpipe of the McGregors. Phylax on scenting danger will step up close to his uniformed companion, and after a pause of silence and keen atten tion will announce his suspicion by low growls, getting more frequent rather than loader, as the cause for alarm be comes more unmistakable. The best dogs of that breed have "chal lenged" cavalry from a distance of three to fivi miles, according to the direction of the wind, and infantry from nearly two miles. They can be trained to an nounce the approach of a known friend in a qnite different way vix, by leaping to and fro or crouching down and jump ing up by turns, but without the warn ing growl of the danger signal.

New York lit r Id. , ROMAhCE OF A NEWSBOY. Incident In the Cnrrrr of Ki-Qovernor Waller of Cnnnrctlcnt. Who does not know genial Tom Wal ler of Connecticut? Tom was for years tlio leading lawyer or Hartford, twice member of the assembly in the Connec I tlcnt legislature, once senator and twice governor of tho Nutmeg State. Ho failed i thn third time because he Immolated himself on Jie political altar to save v r u .iiiiu. nu I'rei'irni rewanieu nis self abnegation by making him consul general nt London, the richest office in the administration. Tom Wnlter 40 yenrs ago was a news boy on the ferrylionts which plied between Brooklyn and New York. There was no big bridge In those days, and the boys hovered around the ferryboats, which carried all of the human freight of tho two great cities at that time. The lad's real name was Thomas Waller O'Grady, and he descended from a fam ily renowned in Irish history. One ancestor is the famous Baron feather O'Grady, Ireland's greatest jurist and the compeer of Grattan, Cnrran, Fhillips and other renowned Irish bar risters. His granduncle was Thomas Btandish Walter O'Grady, the bitterest Tory and hardest landlord in the good old bailiwick of Limerick. Thomas Waller O'Grady'i parents died while he was almost a child in arms. He was adopted by an old Dutch family in New York, but the restrictions im posed npon the future statesman were so irksome that he ran away and became a newsboy. Many is tho time in his precarious calling in those days that young Tom was compelled to sleep in a dry goods box at night after an unsatis factory day's labor. Tom hnd dropped the family name and was known by his youthful associates as Tom Waller. One day while crossing tho Fnlton ferry from Brooklyn to New York he met a fussy old gentleman who wished a copy of the Hartford Couront. It was the favorite paper of his native town, and as ho thought away ahead of all metro politan journals. Of course New York newsboys did not sell country papers, and Tom told him so. "However," said the cute little fellow in a reassuring way, "I think I can get it for you." By good luck Tom had seen an old lady in tho saloon reading that very paper, which he recognized by the ancient type in its headline, and he forth with came up to the dame and offered to exchange a copy of a New York paper for the mediaeval country sheet. The ludy was a New Knglander and ready for a bargain. She had read The Cbu rant and- had no further nse for It. She thonght she had made a clover deal when she exchanged the country morning pa per for a bright metropolitan evening journal. Tom knew he had. When he presented The Courant to the fussy old gentleman, that dignitary gave him 1 for his pains. Then he inquired his name. "Tom Waller," promptly responded the newsboy. The old gentleman stood aghast. . It was his own name. He took down the lad's address, looked np his ref erences and in a fortnight adopted him. He had no children, and Tom was his Idol. He gave him a sound preliminary education and then sent hiiu to Yale col lege. There Tom gradnated with high honors. His subsequent history is too raminar to tne public to require repeti tion. Boston Herald. Trtoonpls and Bis Dog. M. Trlconpis, who may be regarded as the foremost statesmen in Kino- nnmWa dominions, and who has repeatedly held we nice or premier, is distinguished for the store set by him on canine friend ship. One day when he was crossing from the Pira-us to Constantinople on board an English steamer, his dog fell overboard. Trlconpis, who was not In office at the time and a stranger to the captain, entreated the latter to stop the vessel in order that he might rescue the hound. "Impossible!" replied the Englishman. "My orders are very strict. I dare not stop, oven were it a man instead of a dog drowning." "Good!" laconically answered the Greek, and at the same time he sprang over tho ship's side and swam toward his dog, although sharks abound in those waters. The sequel may be guessed. The English captain could not resist such a spectacle of pluck, and In spite of his ntrict orders to the contrary he ioppea me snip ana saved both man and dog. New York Tribune. Women In Medicine. At the beginning of 1803 the number of women who had entered thoir names in the British medical register amounted to 158, of whom nine have died since registration. About 60 are in practice in India and other parts of the east, chiefly as medical missionaries; some of the younger women perhaps 20 are still engaged in atudy at various schools and hospitals, chiefly on the continent, and the remainder are in practice in various parts of Great Britain, more than half of these having settled in London. The number of poets thrown open to medical women increases every day, and the de mand for their services in various direc tions is still considerably in excess of the supply. Medical Magazine.

Dr. Marks, sniieriutendent of the City hospital, cut a heart out of n man's leg recently. Instead of being necessnry to the pntient'o existence, as hearts usually are, this orgnn was n very dnngerons possession and wns likely to end his lifo nt any moment, Tho heart was almost as large as tho one usually found inside a man's ribs and beat In very much the same manner. It wns situated upon thn inside of the right leg, four or five Inrhes above the knee, and was more tender than the ball of the owner's eye. Charles Gentry, a lalxirer, was the owner of this very remarkable organ. To the surgeons the phenomenon iscnlled a traumatic aneurism of the femoral Br tery. This artery Is the big blood feeding pipe that rnns from tho heart down through the body and leg, furnishing life to the different parts of the anatomy as it goes. About two months ago Gentry was struck upon the leg just over the ar tery by a shaft of a piece of machinery. The inner wall of the artery was burst, and the big pipe began to bnlgo out nt this point. The outer wall, or coat of the artery, luckily stretched and held the blood, or Gentry would have bled to death in no time. The artery kept on swelling with ev ery pulsation of the patient's heart. From the size of a hazelnut the bulge grew and grew until it was larger than a man's fist. How the artery managed to stand it without bursting was a mat ter for wonder even to the surgeons. The least touch given to the skin over the swelling caused Gentry horrible pain, and he was obliged to keep very still lest any sndden movement or contact wonld break it and by tho hemorrhage bring on death. The aneurism could be seen to beat to all intents and purposes like any other heart. If one brought his ear close to it, he could henr a constantly repented blowing or breathing sound coining from beneath the skin. This noise was causal by the vacant air space around the swollen artery where it had crowded the muscles aside. The patient wns laid npon the operat ing table and placed under the Influence of chloroform. A sharp knife laid the tissues aside and exposed the femoral ar tery with Its apple shaped bulb. The ar tery was then tied or ligated two inches above and two inches below the swelling and the big bulb cut open. Nearly a pint of blood gushed forth, and then there was no heart left. The slit artery was then sewed together with fine silk threads previously soaked in antiseptic solution and left to heal. St. Louis Globe-Democrat. ITALY'S CRISIS. Pnhllo Men Say II Is tho Most Dangerous Since the Kiletenco of tho Kingdom. The news from Italy this week has been each day worse than the last. SI gnor Villarl, many times a cabinet minis ter and a powerful lender, publishes a remarkable article In Home appealing to the king to save the country from the most dangerous crisis since the existence of the kingdom by proclaiming a dicta torship which shall put an end to power less parliamentarism. Nothing else, he declares, will avert the triumph of revo lutionary socialism which will destroy existing institutions. The article has won the approval of many conservative persons, and even the selection of a dic tator is being discussed. He would be Signor CriBpl or some general. Crispi is quoted as saying to his friends that his hour is not yet come, but when an appeal is made he will be ready. The government dare not reduce the army for domestic as well as interna tional reasons. The situation in Sicily is as threatening as ever, and there is no telling at what moment the large force now there will be required to suppress a rebellion at home. The forces are being prepared for such an emergency, but there are grave doubts whether any body of troops would obey an order to fire upon their rebellious countrymen. The government is undoubtedly cherishing strong hopes of the naval co-operation of Great Britain in any emergency. New York Sun's European Letter. A Thousand France Reward.

Influence of Manchester Canal. A London correspondent saysi It is evident that the Manchester Ship canal, which will open on Jan. 1, will obtain a large share of its business from cotton carrying steamers. The managers of the canal say that several steamers have al ready engaged to bring cotton from New Orleans and Galveston to Manchester direct, and 823 spinners, owning more than 20,000,000 spindles and consuming about 850,000 tons of raw cotton yearly, have signed a statement booming the new route. They pledge themselves to give preference, when buying to arrive, to cotton shipped direct, and when buy ing on spot to cotton imported direct and stored in Manchester. KdUon'i Engllih Patents.

The second hand metals are gathered and placed in piles, regularly assorted. Then they are classified by the fore man and taken Into stock by the store keeper or assistant. There are regular schedules one of material which enn be used again, which is denominated sec ondhand, and another if material which has to be melted before it can be used, which is known as scrap. The classes are arranged something after the following order: Steel scrap, Nos. 1, 2, 8, 4, 6 and 0, nt prices ranging from 28 a ton down; wrought Iron, Nos. 1, 2, 8 and 4; cast Iron, Nos. 1, 2, 8 and 4.

Here it is disposed of by the storekeeper on order of his chiof, being shipped in carloads to big dealers in old metals in large cities. Much of it goes to Pittsburg, Cincinnati and such points. Orders for as high as 600,000 pounds of one kind of material are occasionally re ceived from single firms. Most of the secondhand material Is used over again in the shops, bnt it Is previously taken on the books at a fixed prire by the store keeper and is charged np to the account of the articles for which it is used.

A young man the other day got an um brella where the bottle got the cork In the neck. This young man is one of those fellows who can readily explain to you that nothing that any one else can do is really as difficult as it appears. He joined a local gymnasium not long ago, aud after watching the members once or twice going through their exercises came away with the feeling that he was a full fledged athlete. Walking on East Court street alongside of the jail, he espied two women ahead of him walking abreast Bnd carrying a basket of freshly washed clothes between them. The street being narrow at this point, they took up the full width. The young man, being in a hurry, thought he could save time by jumping over the basket, but his calcu lation was not acute enough, and he kicked some of the wash off. After walking a few steps he turned around to ascertain the result of his maneuver and was jnst in time to see an umbrella hurled at him by the unerring aim of an enraged woman. He tried to dodge, but was too slow. Cincinnati Commercial Gazette. An advertiser In a New York dally a few days ago offered a reward for the return of two sets of teeth and no ques tions asked.
