a cuEpuEpo's Doc A friend of oura who
owns large ranch and several hundred head of
sheep, is the fortunate possessor of one of the
best dogs in this State Theinteligent creature
was brought up among the sheep, nourished on
ewes milk, his whole life being passed with the
flock aud devoted to its defence lie has been
taught to open and shut the fold into which they
are driven at night, and he cares for them with
all the apparent thoughtfulness that a human
being could display. In the morning, when the
flock is driven to the field, he go9s with it, Sc
lects some commanding place, and watching the
sheep during the whole day, driving up the
straggers, and allowing no one but those with
whom he is acquainted to approach, Should a
eve drop lamb and pass on with the herd
without noticing it, as she sometimes will, he
has been known to take it up, and carrying it
after her, COMPEL her to take care of it, At
night he drives the sheep into the pen, fastens
the door after him, and seating himself in their
midst, lays there watching them all night In
the morning, he unflstens the door, drives out
his charge to the pasture and keeps ward and
watch until night comes. In fact, so faithful
is he, that his master frequently absents him
self from the ranch for days together, with per-
feet reliance on his dog to find all safe when he
returns. California paper.

one of the big watering places on the New Jer-
sey coast were greatly incensed, at dinner, the
other day, by seeing plainly dressed gentle
man and lady walk in and take seats in their
very midst. The ladies made audable remarks
on the appearance of the strangers and spoke
Indignantly because thewaiters attended to their
wants; various insulting illusions were also
made, and the dinner was most eaectually ruin
ed to the spoiled children of fashion," In
the evening, however, when the parlor doors
were thrown open; this same couple, elegantly
dressed, were ushered in and introduced to the
company as I" Gov. Newell and lady Silks
huttered, broadcloth trembled. and rouge was
most efectually placed in the background by
natural color, as one and another came up to
pass the compliments eff the evening and tender
their sincere apologies for the transactions al

man as she is, decinedt to receive these apologies
not on account of personal resentment, but be
cause their couduct exhibited them as persons
not fitted to associate with genuine ladies, ant
she refused to recognize them as such. 1t seem'
that Governor and Mrs. Newell had arrived just
at dinner and being too hungry to wait for a
change of costume, presumed to present them.

One of Henry Fox's jokes was that played off
on Mrs -, who had great fondness for
making the acquaintance of foreigners. He
first forged letter of recommendation to her
in favor of German nobleman, the Baron Won
Seiditz Powders whose card was left at her door
and for whom dinner was Immediately PLAN

After waiting considerable time, and no Baron
appearing the dinner was served but during
the second course, note was brought to the la
DIV of the house with excuses for not coming, by
the sudden death of his aunt, the Duchess Won

ny without any suspicion of the joke, and to the
entertainment of her guests, among whom was

HINTS TO WoRKMEN on HEALrH.-l Abstain
from all spirits and dram drinking. Spirits re-
lax the muscles, diminish the strength of the
body, and render men susceptible of disease
2. Let your food bo coars, and plain. Concen-
trated and highly-seasonod food is, if possible,
as injurious as liquors. g. Where (well-flter-
ed) water does not disagree, value the privilege
and continue it, Pure water is far better
beverage for the sedentary, and those who take
but little exercise, and for those who labor or
exhausted strength do not require stimulants.-
4. The quantity (of most things) is always
more hurtful than the quality. s. Take your
meals at regular hours always. The human
frame is capable of being changed from sickness
to perfect health, by well-regulated system of
diet. 6. Avoid everything, however agreeable
to the palate, that from experience you find to
disagree with you. 7. Make daily ablution

and more refreshed from it during the day. l

THE BEST OREs-Though we get never so
much gold Or precious stones from our soil, we
cannot find other mines SO rich in general bless
ings to the country, as those which produce the
baser metals and materials as they are called
A nation devoted to agriculture, commerce and
the arts, with vast earth-surfacc to be devel-
oped by railroads, canals, foundrics, factories,
&C., has better wealth in mines of Iron, Coal,
Lead and Copper, than in plentiful gold or dia-
monds. Pennsylvania, with her iron and coal
mines, may feel herself positioned to compete
with, and eventually triumph over, any equal
surface of earth lacking those materials, though
abounding in gold. With disposition to in
dustry and enterprise, people can transmute
iron and coal to gold, and the processes of labor
and the amount of labor required in those pro-
cesses, will impart vigor and sturdiness, instead
of the lassitude and vitiaton that have followed
every people employed for long time in the
search or gathering of gold.

Among the curiositses Of lightning are what
is termed fulgurites," or tubes, which light
ming constructs when it falls upon siliceous
spot, by raising the sand. They may be called
casts of thunderbolts. In some hillocks of sand
In Cumberland, England, these hollow tubes
have bean found from one-ffteth to two inches
In diameter, tapering, perhaps, to mere point.
The entire extent of the tubes may be thirty
feet, but they usually separate into numerous
branches, and have the appearance of the skel-
eton of an inverted tree. They are lined with
glass, as smooth and perfect as if it had been
laade ina class house.
Lightning will also vitrify the surface Of
rocks, and fuse metals In 1927, several links
of the iron cable of an American packet
ship were melted, and the glowing drops, falling
upon the deck, set fire to everything they
touched. 1t would seem, too, that lightning
can liquify metals without harming, or even
singing more fragile materials connected with
them. Aristotle says that copper has been
melted off a shield without injuring the wood,
and hence afirms that money has been fused in
a purse without burning the latter. 1t is a
capricious meteor, and tho pranks it plays are
sometimes perfectly inexplicable. A man in
Cornwall was once struck by bolt, which
burnt the sleeve of his shirt and also of his coat
to finder, without 6rizzling, or even damaging
the outside of his coat in the least Balls of
electrical fluid, capable of firing combustible
objects, have been seen to issue from the sea, or
to drop into sheets of water without producing
any Kissing sound, or occasioning any symp-
/ toms of ebullition.
As illustrative of the power of lightning to
magnetic metals, it is related by Arago, that
the tools of shoemaker in Swabia were thus
treated, and he had to be constantly freeing his
hammer, pincers and knife from the nails avis
and needles, which were constantly getting
caught by them as they lay upon the bench.-
Nearly two centuries ago, a couple of English
ships were sailing from London to Barbadoes.-
One of them was struck by lightning, and sud-
denly the Captain Of the suffering ship was OBJ
served to alter his course and turn his PROV, as
if making for England again. His consort in
quired the reason, but found that the crew were
still proceeding to Barbados, as they firmly be-
lieved A careful inspection showed that the
poles of the compasses had been completely re-
versed by the lightning
