There are great many stories aHoat about
smart dogs, but 10 the lower part Of this city
there Is pretty brown goat that surpasses n
understanding the most favored Of the pestifer-
Gus canine species. Some eighteen months ago,
in spirit of rebellion against an unscrupulo1s
milkman, good citizen bought her, and took
her, with her kid, bound in the bottom Of q
wagon, to his home, two miles from the place
OF purchase. Beingw wen fed and stabbed, she
apparently forgot all about her old home, and
seldom ventured far from her new quarters.
Amer awhile she took TO eatingths young peach
trees and rose bushes In her masters ward, and
in at Of disgust he sold her to = nesr neigh
Dor, with whom she soon became as coutented
as before, and enjoyed quiet life on the COM
mons, with no fears beyond those OCCASIONALLY
excited by the proximity Of the troublesome
small boy. 5l-a . i5i-tc 4-5t --A saa
Not long since she went dry, but seeming to
comprehend that the family who took care Of
her must have milk, she departed one day,
and after remaining away longer than usual,
returned, bringing with her strange goat
with two kids. The goats were very friendly,
and as the family failed to find the owner Of
the new conner, she was allowed 70 run with
their goat, and kept up the supply OF milk
which the latter was unable to furnish. A
few days ago the dried-up goat suddenly dis
appeared, and long search for. her proved
fruitless. She had been so punctual about
coming home, that her absence led to the be-
lief that she had been killed.
There was grief among the children, but
their weeping was turned to rejoicing when
somebody at length succeeded In finding the
missing pet. She had gone to the old home,
two miles away, from which she had been car
ried in the bottom Of q wagon and in cir
cuitous direction eighteen months before, aud
she had there become the happy mother Of 9
pair Of kids. a.E-l- la,.----ss4-.
The facts in this case seem to Indicate thas
this able animal deliberately planned her "dis-
appearance;" that, knowing her owners we're
entitled to her services, she felt that she could
not conscientiously desert them unless she
should leave with them as good goat as her
self; that for eighteen months she had remem-
bered the distant home where she had first be-
come mother, though she had not once visited
it after having been carried away. History
does not mention goat that has done so much
thinking In 60 short q time as this ONE

EACTS ARouT THE CHIN.

Fortune-tellers are generally skillful physi-
ognomistf, and all the features of the human
face do their share in enlightening the under
standing of seers. The chin, at the present
day, is rather difficult to read, on account Of
the increasing custom of wearing beard. A
good chin should neither project nor retreat
much. A very retreating chin denotes weak
ness, and . very projecting one harsh strength
united with frmness amounting to obstinacy.
A pointed chin generally denotes acuteness
and craftiness. A soft, fat, double chin gener-
ally denotes love Of good living, and an angu-
lar chin, judgment and frmness.
Flatness Of chin implies coldness; round,
dimpled chin, goodness small chin, fear; sharp
indentings In the middle Of the chin point to
cool understanding. The color and texture Of
the skin, and of the hair and beard, have also
direct harmony with the features; these
should be studied more than they have BEEN
A facility in drawing faces sof great use to the
student Of physiognomy, as IL enables hin; to
note peculiarities Of features which no written
description would be capable of preserving.

YoEPLUssIyG 4 BARBER.


Persons who visit barber shops would give q
premium for barber who would not insist
upon them having their ''haIr cut" or submit
ting to q shampoo" when they only wished to
be shaved. A man who called to-day at q
tonsorial establishment on Smithteld street
succeeded in non-plussing most persistent
knight of the razor. The barber insisted upon
giving transient customer q shampoo" and
the T. C. pGemptorily demanded why such
request was made. Then little coloquy en-
sued something like this: 3.
Barber-"Your heads very dirty, sahP'
T. C-"Well, / know 1t is, and want it
dirty"
Barber-"want It dirtyi Why, what fahi'
T.C-"well, Pm a.Granger, and Iwant to
have soil on my headp'
The barber ceased his importunings, and
quietly shaved his man.-Pinsbsrg Chronicle.
