Ilnnan's Wonderful Dog

San and says: ! have read the story
of Ulman's educated dog, and cau
vouch for its truth; but his most re.
markable performances are notrefer'
red to in your article.
Standing one day on the platform
at the depot / noticed that a passen,
ger train had stopped, and that the
engineer had temporarily left the en-
gine. At this time toe dog Knapp
was standing near, and it was appa-
rent from bis restlessness that be was
not at all pleased TO see the locomo-
tive thus left alone As he was ST.
lie ntly contemplating the same and
wondering in his own mind what
course it would be advisable for him
to pursue under the circumstances,
another train came laundering mp tC
the depo. and ran into the rear Of
the one that had been left standing
without an engineer. Fortunately
the force Gf the collision was not
great, but the jar was sufficient to
open the throttle Of the driverless To-
comotive, and it Immediately COM
menced moving on at rapid rate.
Knapp took in the situation at glance.
His time to act had come, and like q
fash he sprang for one Of the passing
cars, catching the rear platform of the
last one as it rushed by him. From
here | saw him clambering to the top
of the ear and dashing wildly for he
locomotive, which he soon reache d
when, seizing the throttle in his teeth,
be instantly reversed the engine,
stopped the flying rain, and brought
it safely back TO the depot. Once
here, however, he would not permit
the engineer TO take his place, and
could not be induced to leave the en-

placed in charge. Think what ter

How To cook q Gur ui p.

| viii ask the reader to cook two
turnips in two different ways. The
first is TO be peeled and sliced, and
left to soak in cold water for an hour
or more. The slices are 20 be boiled
until quite tender, and then are TO be
drained, and nicely mashed with but
ter. This is the most common meth
cd of cooking, and it has the demerit
Of washing out the gum and sugar
and the other finer constituents OF
the root, and consequently.the fav OF
is very much reduced. The other
root is to be washed quite clean; but
but i: is not to be peeled, or cut, or
cut, or soaked. oil it whole in St.
Jacket" 1t will take twice as long
to cook as the one that was cut.
When, by trying it with fork, you
find it quite tender, take it up, peel it.
press it moderately, and mash it
with butter. You will be surpris ed
at the difference. Instead of being,
as perhaps you will expect, strong
rank. or bitter" it will pc deli
ciously full-favOred, and will contain
all the nourishment that was in he

American Flirts.

Terrible stories are told in the Paris
correspondence of the Louisville
C0mier-J0uyna!, Of the Irritation pro-
clivities. American young ladies
abroad. The accusations are specific
and appalling. They are denounced
for, downright laying themselves
out TO attract the attention ofmcn''-
singular and amazing phrase--at the
expense of all maidenly reserve, and
forgetful of the teachings Of home, of
its restraints and influences, and at
the sacrifice of the propriety which
should govern the conduct Of every
well-regulated young woman who re-
spects herself as well as admires her
self. The fashionable resorts of Europe
are given as the scene of the melan-
choly and irrepressible tendencies to
Irritation. 1t eventteld that 4 hand
some Young German attracted the
attention of a bevy Of pretty damsels
in a public street, and they straight
wav put him under such a fire Of
glances, Of bouquets, and, indeed, Of
billet-doux that he presumed upon
he partiality, and duel a with fero-
cious young American brother was
nearly the result. At Trouville, oc-
Cured another similar transaction
and for such scandals, Sardou con
ceived his absurd PLAY which depicts
American life as that entcrprising
playwright fancies them, and not as
hey exist. These calumhies every
American will repudiate.
