RULES FOR DOG FIGHTING.-The Chica-
go Republican devotes a column of solid
nonPareil" to dog fight. Our space being
limited, we copy but single paragraph :
Then McClOskey and Jennings went through
the important and somewhat perilous process
of "tasting" their dogs. This precautionary
measure consists in getting down on the knees
and applying the tongue to the dog on the
breast and between the shoulders, in order to
convince the other side that he is clean, and
that no poison has been applied externally
for the purpose of injuring the other dog if
he should bite here. Each man has the right
to require the other to "taste" the dog in any
part that he may indicate.

THE SECRET OF Success IN BUsISEss-When
you hnd a man doing more business than YOU
are, look at the advertisements be has in the
newspapers. The BUSINESS man who puts his
sign in tAe newspaper does wiser thing than
when he fasteus it over his store-and who
would think of neglecting that? lie who ad
Tertises, informs the public that he desires to
trade, and his card IN the newspaper is an invi-
tatlon TO customers to come and do So Where
one person reads a sign in the street, five hum.
dred read it in the newspaper. No matter how
well business man is known, he can always
pick up new custoners'if he will take the pains

SWEARING IN A CoOK.-"See here, Dix
lie, before you enter the services of the United
States, you must be sworn" eyes, massa,
l do that" he replied, when the corporal
continued: "Well, then, take hold of the Bi-
be," holding out letter envelope upon
which was delineated the Goddess of Liber-
ty standing upon a Suffolk pig, wearing the
embleul>of our country. The negro grasped
the envelope cautiously with lis thumb and
forefnger, when the corporal proceeded to
administer the oath by saying: "YOu do SOL
emnly swear that you will support the Con-
stitution of the United States, and see that
there are no grounds floating upon the coffee
at all times" "Yes massa, do dat" he reS
piled. III alters settle him in de coffee pot"
Here he let 60 the envelope to gesticuate by
a downward thrust of his forefuger the di>
reetion that would be given to the coffee
grounds for the future. "Now mind how
you do it," shouted the corporal, "but hold on
to the Bible !" "LOrdy, massa, forgot" "
said the negro, as he darted forward and
grasped the envelope with frmer clutch,
when the corporal continued, Sand do you
solemnly swear that you will support the Con-
stitution and all the loyal States, and not
spit upon the plates when cleaning them nor
wipe them with your slceve.' Here frown
lowered upon the brow of the negro, his eyes
expanded to their largest Dimensions, while
his eye protruded with a rounded form, as he
exclaimed "Lordy, massa, ne6er, l nober
do dat wash him nice. Old missus
mighty ticker bout dat" Never mind
old missus," shouted the corporal as he re-
sumed, "and do you solemnly swear that you
will put milk in the coffee every mornin', and
see that the ham and eggs are not cooked toe
mnch or too little" "Yes 1 do dat; Is a
good cook" "And lastly" continued the
corporal. "vnu do snlemnlY swear that wher

match was got under way in San Francisco,
within a very brief period of the orator. S
death, but custom, and due regard for the
observances Of society have prevented the
celebration until now Mr. Norris is a lively
specimen of California grating, and is any
thing but clergyman in his manner. The
lady having been redeemed from her former
bonds of divine dispcnsatiou, will now enjoy
an opportunity Of seeing, little more of life.

How TO TEST KEROSENE OIL-Good
kerosene is not explosive nor inhammabe to
aiy dangerous degree But the frequency
of lamp explosions shows that much.o the
kerosene in use is largely adulterated with
benzine or other infammable substances, and
people will be glad to learn of the following
simple test, told to a legislative committee
lately, by DR.. j. W. Huntoon of Boston ::
Fill tumblcr three fourths full of modera-
tely cool water; then pour half tablespoon
full of oil into it; stir them together; then
hold lighted match over the tumbler, and
if it takes fire from the vapor, before the
fame comes in contact with the oil, it is dan
gerons, as good oil will not thus ignite, and,
indeed, will not burn readily when flaming
match is thrown into it; while those which
have been much adulterated with benzine
will emit a vapor which is nearly as ex-
pIOsive as gunpOwder, and the oil will then
burn freely.

SPARE MOMENTS.

A lean, awkward boy came one morning to
the door of the principal of celebrated
school and asked to see him. The servant
eyed his mean clothes, and thinking he lookS
ed more like beggar than anything else,
told him to go around to tho kitchen. The
boy did as he was bidden, and appeared at
he back door. M
You want breakfast, more like" said
the servant girl, /" and can give you that
without troubling him."
"Thank you" said the boy, "I should like
to see Mr.. =, if he can see me-"
Some old clothes maybe you want" re-
marked the servant, again cycling his patch
ed clothes" 81 guess he has none to spare;
be gave away sight" and without minding
the boys request, she went away about her
work.
Can7I see Mr." again asked the boy,
after finishing his bread and butter.
"Well, he is in the library; if he must be
disturbed, he must; but he does like to be
alone sometimes" said the girl in peevish
tone. She seemed to think it very foolish to
admit such an Unlocking fellow into her mas
ter's presence; however she wiped her hands
and bade him follow. Opening the library
door, she said:
Here's somebody, sir, who is dreadful
anxious to see you, and so let him in"
1 don know how the boy introduced him
self, or how he opened his business, but l
know that after talking awhile, the principal
put aside the volume he was studying, and
took up some Greek books and began to
examine the new conner The examination
lasted some time. Every question which
the principal asked the boy, was answered
readily.
Upon my word,' exclaimed the princi,
pal, "you certainly do well,'' looking at the
| boy from head to foot, over his spectacles
"Why, my boy; where did you pick up SO
much Z"
" In my spare moments" answered the
boy.
Here he was, poor, hard working, with but
few opportunities for schooling, yet almost
fitted for college, by simply improving his
spare moments. Truly are not spare mo-
ments the gold dust Of time 2" How prec.
ious they should be What account can you
show for them ? Look and see This boy
can tell you bow very much can be laid NJ
by improving them; and there are many
other boys, am afraid, in Jail, in the house
of correction, in the forecastle of whaleship
in the tippling shop, who, if you should ash
them when they began their sinful courses
might answer, SIN my spare moments"
"In my spare moments 1 grabbed for mar
bles. In my spare moments l began tC
smoke and drink. 1t was in my spare mo
monts that L gathered wicked associates"
Oh, be careful how you spend your spare
moments Temptation always hunts yol
out in seasons like these, when you are no
busy; he gets into your hearts if he possibl,
can, in just such gaps There he hides him
self, planning all sorts of mischief. TAX
