The ArdenneS DOG.

The dog of the Ardennes accompan-
les the flock when it leaves the penfold
in spring, only to return when thewin-
ter's snow drives the sheep home again
for shelter. Each shepherd possesses
one or two of these dogs, according to
the size of his flock, to act as sentinels.
Their office is not to run around and
bark, and keep the sheep in order, but
to protect them from outside foes.
When the herdsmen has gathered his
flock in some rich valley, these white,
shaggy monsters, crouch onthe ground,
apparently half-asleep; but now and
then the great sagacious eyes will
open, and, passing over the whole OF
their charge, remain for a while fixed
on the distant horizon as if they fol
lowed a train of thought which led
them away from earth-sO sadly dc
they gaze into the infinite.
But let the mountain breeze bear tO
his ever-moving nostril the scent of the
hated wolf, or his quick ear detect al
unknown noise; then is the time to see
one of these dogs in his glory. His
eyes become black with ferceness his
hair stands erect; his upper lip be-
comes wrin6led, showing range OF
white, formidable teeth, while g low
growl alone escapes from his throat.
When his keen faculties have detected
the whereabouts of his foe, he rushes
forward with a bound that overleaps all
obstacles, and bark that echoes from
all the surrounding hills
Every dog of the like breed that
may be near, takes up the note and
rushes cleaning through the brush
wood to Join in the attack. Tender as
the childhood he protects, woe to him
who dare lift a hand OH one of the
little ones with whom he has been
brought up. It is rot he who buys
him who is his master it is he who
fed him when pup, who petted and
shared his pittance with hlm-he it is
who has his love, and who reciprocates
his faithful affection. = OUerI03ad

Fight Between a Cat and a Snake.

A few days AGO a gentleman who IS

in search of game. He quickened his
steps to see if he could discover what

about foot and a. half or two feet
long, and, as the cat approached, the
snake cdiled and put himself III strlk-

directly up to the snake ami held ost

being full of spunk, was not the chap

Curiols Economical Employment OF
Sea Birds.

A foreign journal says that III the
same way as we employ bees to collect
the honey of flowers, which they store
up for their own use and for that of
their young, SO the inhabitants OF the
island of ST Kllda employ certain sea-
fowls to collect cod-liver oil, which
these birds obtain from dead and float
ing fishes as food for their offspring.
The enterprislng natives catch the
bird, and, dipping It's bill into n small
leather bag which they carry with them
compel it TO disgorge the OIL Enough
is obtained in this way to make it au
article of export. 1t differs only
slightly from other cod-liyer oil; the
chief difference being that it is puuer
as the bird by its instinct probably
only appropriates the best portions,
while man does not thus select, but
presses out the whole oleaginous con-
tents Of the fish. 1t must be under
stood that what is sold in the trade as
cod-liver oil is by no means all made
from the liver of Goldfish. Some think
that the oil obtained from the birds ot
! ST. Kilda is a peculiar secretion, or al
least is modified by the bird as the
sweet principle of flowers and wax is
modified by the bees which collect it.

0hifIIary,

Gable dispatches give information of
the death of Alexander Keith Johnston,
T. r. S. the famous geographer He
was born at Kirkhill, near Edinburg, on
the 2Sth of December, 1904, and, at an
early age, gave evidence OF that aTt1stlc
taste which was thoroughly developed
during several years of his apprentice
ship to an engraver, and afterward en-
ployed to such good purpose In the es-
tablishment of his numerous works.
His best claim to the recollect1ons OF
posterity rests upon the fact that he
was among the first to apply on large
scale the principles Of physical geogfa-
/ phv. His researches were founded on
/ the writings of Humboldt and Ritter,
and to the former he was indebted for
much valuable counsel His "Physl-
cal Atlas Phenomena " appeared in l84e
and gained him wide celebrity. It
ran through several editions, and result
ed in his election as an honory or cor
responding member of the principal
geographical societies of Europe, Asia,
and America His writings on medical
geography procured him the diploms
of the Epidemiological Society of Lon
don, aud for the first physical globe h,
was awarded the medal of The
great London Exhibition of 1891
Among his numerous works the follow
ing are probably the best known

And none to tell my hope more nigh
So many sails upon the sea,

THE HUSBAND HUNTER.

Clairette lost her father and her
mother when she was but thirteen years
of age. She was a good -natured girl;
but had rather fighty head, and al
ways looked at things upon the surface,
and took very little pains to get at the
sense which lay hidden beneath them.
She accordingly allowed her uncle and
guardian to neglect her property, pay
ing no attention to it and liked bet
ter TO frequent fairs, markets, and fes-
tivtls of patron saints, and to enjoy
Sunday amusements, rather than to
hoe In her fields, spade up her garoen,
and lead her sheep to the pasturage.
Clairette was by no means indolent
or inactive; she would pass an hour
every morning dressing herself, and two
more during the day smoothing her
ribbons, doing up her scarfs, and put
ting away her skirts. After this came
a walk here and promenade there, SO
that the poor child had not a moment
to spare. TIE make amends she had
several nice companions-how many
has one at her age. The child seems to
make scores OF friends, and all the more
because at every step 1t takes IN the
world it is sure to lose one. A dozen
young girls had attended school and
made their first communion with Clair
cite. After this, important act, which
brings us out OF our infancy, and which
assigns to us our place in the great
workshop here below, each was allotted

proud of her independence, and pitied
her poor companions who gave them
selves so much trouble in the world

dress any the better for plodding along
muddy paths strewn with briars? Has

Grimes i'm Dreams.

4 writer in Macmillan s Magazine has
some highly interesting .speeulations
on the subject of crimes which q sleep
er dreams he is committing. He says !:
FETWO esteemed friends have assured
me that their consciences are occasion
ally awake in sleep. On the other
hand, great many more tell me that
their experience entirely cOrrobOrates
my own observations. For example, an
admirable and most kind-hearted lady
informs me that she palmed off a bad
sixpence on a begger, and chuckled at the
notion of his disappointment. A dis
tinguished philanthropist exercising
for many years high judicial function,
continually commits forgery, and only
regrets the act when he learns that he
is to be hanged. A woman, whose life
at the time of her dream was devoted
to the instruction of pauper children,
seeing one of them make face at her,
doubled him into the smallest compass,
and poked him through the bars of
lions cage. One of the most benevo-
lent of men, who shared not at all in
the military enthusiasm of his
warlike brothers (the late Mr.. Rich
ardson Napier), ran his best friend
through the body, and ever after re-
called the extreme qualification he had
experienced on seeing the point OF his
sword come out through the shoulders
of his beloved companion. Other
crimes committed in dreams need not
here be recorded, but I am persuaded
that if we but know all the improper
people in their sleep with the most
s0rqtroid and completely unblushing
effrontery, the picture would present
diyerting contrast to our knowledge of
them in their conscious hours If the
moral sense be not wholly suppressed
in sleep, there is certainly enough evi-
dence to conclude that it is only ex-
ceptionally active, and, so far as [ yet
learn, only in the case of dreams as
srlming the character of Nightmares, in
which the conciouSness is far less per-
fectiy dormant than in others.

A Quiet Hour.

The sunlight is past, and the dusty air
That filled the day in its prime
OF all the hours, there is none so fair
AS TIE dim white even-tiIne,
Inc wind, that blew like breath of heat,
Is. cooler and fresher now:
Of the winds, there is none so sweet.
Soft evening wind, as thou.
An hour like this is soon forgot,
And never recalled again;
The peace and rest we remember not,
Only the joy and the pain.
Were we content with such pleasure as this,
We might be happy in rest;
But, in the pursuit of more difficult bliss,
We scorn to be easily blest.

Wind-SaiI PUMPS,

The use Of this kind of apparatus, ii
is stated; has become quite common on
British ships that have sprung aleak,
and several vessels have recently been
saved by adopting this method OF
clearing the hold of water Every
year, it is reported, many leaking ships
have been abandoned at sea, in conse-
quenee of the inability of the crew to
continue the long and exhausting fa-
tigue Of working at the pumps. It is
argued that if mechanical means could
be adopted by which continuous pump
ing could be kept up, many vessels al d
their cargoes would reach port that are
now lost through lack of power to re-
sist the entrance of the water through
the leak The plan that has been sug-
gested is as follows: Every kind OF
ship pump, it is stated, can be made to
work by fixing short sails on cross arms,
in the style of a windmill, and
the attachment TO-. .tha. pump can
be made eitlfe1ss drectly or II
soae eases By 4~ gearing.
A small Wind-saiI attached to the han
die of rotary pump, it is said, viii
not only operate i'll discharging the wa
ter in the hold, but will assist in pro
pelling the vessel. In the case OF a
British bark, recently reported, the
vessel, after enduring heavy weather,
was found to have seven feet of water
in the hold: The crew, with the assist
ance of the wind apparatus, managed
to keep the bark free until she reached
port, which occupied six weeks. The
bark, without the use of She mechanical
contrivance, it is stated, must have
been abandoned, as it required contin-
uous pumping day and night to gain
upon the leak. In another case ship
sprunk a leak just after leaving Mel
bourne, and the inlet amounted to one
foot an hour. Notwithstanding this
serious accident the wind-saii pump
kept down the water, and the vesse
reached England in safety.

The time came, however, when, in
spite of her pride in her half-vagabOnd
life. Clairette was less ambitious of in=
dependence, and felt disposed to come
under the dominion of husband.
This very natural desire, but still a
vague one at eighteen, beside being
subject to circumstances, became I'M
perious, like the satisfaction of a point
of honor, when Clairette returned from
the wedding of Marghelide with the
tailor Latane.
Marghelide was the younger. By
what inexplicable grace of st. Joseph,
the patron of spouses, should she take
the lead OF her associates She was
assuredly less pretty than Clairette, and
likewise less amiable-who would dis
pute that What charm had given her
the preference in the eyes of the brisk
young Latane
All, here it isl Margheiide wore a
splendid red petticoat, as brilliant as
a POPPY, and which scared away the
cattle, bat which produced dUite con-
tary effects on all the young men; the
color of this red petticoat relieved so
sharply on the green OF the meadows
and the gray Of the brambles as to be
easily seen hall league off Latane,
completely bewildered, must have run
| for the petticoat the same as a lot OF
! frogs after the baited hook on the end
/ of fsh-line.
Woman is naturally disposed to re-
gard hertoilet as a sort of talisman, and

stinct for Colors and calicoes. Clai-
rette had It IN the highest degree; she
was sure that she had discovered
Marghelide's secret; she ran off to sell
six of her sheep, and bought the deep
est scarlet petticoat she could find IN
the market.
From that day forth Charlotte never
went to the spring, to church, to a ball,
or to fair without wearing the attrac-
tive garment in which the lucky Mar
ghelide had captured the tailor Latane.
In vain, however, did she glide
through the crowd and thus display
herself The women found her tawdry,
the young girls looked enviOus, while
the young men politely invited her tC
dance; but no mother ever dreamt oi
selecting her as wife for her son, and
no son ever uttered word about taking
her as a housekeeper.
A year of fruitless efforts passed, and
not whisper of a proposal Of mar
rlage. What bad luck! Soon hel
friend Bieby followed the same delight
full road as Marghelide, and espoused
the farmer Menichot.
Clairette became despondent. She
had lost fifteen months in displaying
her red petticoat, and she could moi
imagine the cause of her failure. Was
