The Dogs Of st. Bernard.
Oah Pork, III.

On the highest inhabited land in Eus
ropes, 500 feet above the sea, and
rising often above the clouds, too
where the ice never melts, and there are
few days, even in summer, when the
snow does not fall-in the very heart
of the Swiss mountains, stands build
ing called the Monastery, or Hospice of
Mont St. Bernard.
The Monastery is inhabited by about
forty monks. The monks, with one or
more of the dogs, go down every day
to a spot at certain distance at either
side of the pass, and travellers gener-
ally wait at this spot to be conducted
over by the escort. Some occasionally
try to find the way themselves, and
thus it happens that they often lose it,
or are oyertaken by snow-storm or
avalanche. The dogs, by their keen
scent, are able to track out body un-
der the snow, and by sound call the
mems attention to the spot; but per-
haps the chief service they render is in
acting as guides to show the way, for
the snow is sometimes thirty feet deep,
and every sign and landmark is oblib-
Grated then the keen instinct of the
dog comes into play; he marches in
front of the cavalcade with his tail
straight up, which, when the snow Is
soft, is sometimes the only thing visible.
Many stories are told of acts of
bravery by these noble animals. In
the museum at Bern there is stuffed
St. Bernard dog named Barry, who Is
said to have saved the lives OF fifteen
persons. One Of the most memorable
feats recorded of him is his resculng a
little boy whose mother had been swept
away by an avalanche, add whom ne
induced to mount on his back, and
TINS carried safe to the Hospice.
Dog nature has two sides, just as
mans has We have heard OF the
best side in this story of the st. Bern-
ard dogs, but no one would like TO
meet on mountain, or anywhere eise,

Why q Child Loves Sugar

The craving Of children for sweets
is we'll known TO be one of the most i'm
perious of their appetites. 1t has ref
erence probably to that ceaseless activ-
ity which especially characterizes the
age of childhood. 1t may be that su-
gar performs in their systems the part
enacted by fatty substances in the
bodies of adults AS it undergoes OK
idation-is burnt up circulation with
the blood-it may be the source of
the power which enables them to keep
in motion from morning to night. Be-
sides this, it is known that it renders
easier and more perfect digestion of
the albuminoGs food upon which their
growth depends. In respect to these
Offices it is therefore essential to their
well-being, and yet how strong, for
generations past has peen the preju-
dice against sugar. Under what diff
culties, and in the face Of what dis
couragements and protests, have our
children obtained the luxury.

acertain period guarded by dogs.
Mastiffs and bloodhounds formerly
played an important part in the civil
wars of Great Britain and Ireland,
and packs of them were trained to
charge upon the enemy, and lacerate
them with their teeth--a most barbar-
mode of warfare, which has fortunately
gone ont of practice. Bloodhounds
were used in the twelfth aud thirteenth
centuries by the kings of England
against the Bruces and Wallaces of
Scotland, ond the farmers living on
the boundaries Of Scotland and Eng
land were obliged to keep packs of
hounds to defend them from the at
tacks Of marauders.-Kethodist.

but there is heart-ache and burden
that | cannot shake off. Her parents
are wealthy, he tells me, and her hus
bands brother, a wholesale druggist
of whom he knew, member of the
city council of Copenhagen. Three
children write her letters from the old
country, and three little ones beckon
her to the Better Land. 1t was in
circles of elegance that she learned the
destroying taste, for the wine-cup
graced her fathers table, and her first
impulse was surprise not to find it on
mine. How [ wish | could show her
to all the parents in this land who
think there is no harm in little per-
sonal indulgence, and laugh at the
cunning baby who knows the corner in
the side-board where the rudy bottles
hides Can they be selfish enough to
choose their own pleasure in face of
the peril to which they expose their
children
Wednesday, Feb. 25.-While these
lines were being written, where was
she? Must such things run their full
course to let us know that God is in
earnest when he says, 1.-The wages of
sin is DEATH
This notice appeared in yesterdays
paper:
"About half-past one o'clock yester-
day afternoon, woman apparently
fifty years Of age, who gave her name
as Sophia Holm, entered the house of
Christian Reckless, at No. 10 Fifth
street, and sat down to rest hsrself.
After remaining in the house nearly
an hour, she fell from her chair. and
died before medical aid could be pro.
cured. A woman by the same name
was arrested at late hour Sunday
night, at the corner of Cornelia and
Noble streets, and was fined by Justice
SGully yesterday morning, after which
ahe was released. Deceased is sup
posed to be Dane by birth, of medi-
um height with dark hair and eyes.
Her body was taken to the morgue,
and the coroner notified. "
Just three days from US and the
measure was full. Of the horrors of
those days we have but slight hints.
The wages that [ had given in trust
for her use had helped her down, and,
''There are plenty" said my infor-
mant, ''about the saloons, who will
stuff q woman with drink for the fun
of seeing what she will do
SO ends another of the sad tragedies
which have caused the fierce upspring
ing Of women all over the land.
Her life with all its possibilities Of
virtue, piety, and graceful service, the
saloon men coined into miserable doll
ars, and left the city to hide the poor
remains in the Potters Field---H., IN
