ladies, who were cousins, arranged to 90
there without advertising the fact too loud
ly. Naturally they came principally to be
revensei upon their husbands. and you
may easily una glne that they went at 1t
with Will. They began by teasing these
gentlemen as to the cOnseq uences OF their
absence. How, said one Of them,
- could you leave these poor women at
home? Are you quite sure they will stay
there without you? How do You know

The husbands recognized their wives, but
this was only the first scene of the comedy.
The lively invention of the ladies did not
cease there. A quarter of an hour alter

their red and blue dOmlnoes, so a. complete

But the two husbands We're little fright

there was nothing to do but TO 20 out to

Docs TuAT HAVE "SHoT NIAGARA ,-Ap-
ropos to the case Of dog which, du:ing re
cent low water, crossed the rapids above
Niagara Falls to a small islet. and is now
unable to return, the Niagara Falls Register
recalls two instanc in which dogs have
been sent over the falls, and survived the
plunge. In November, 1886, a trou ublesOme
female bull-terrier was put in a coffee sack 9.
by couIle of men who had determined to
get rid Of her, and thrown off from the
middle of Goat Island Bridge. In the fol-
lowing spring she was found alive and well
about 90 rods below the ferry, having lived
through the winter on a dead COW that was
thrown over the bank the previous fall. In
1858 another dog, "A male Of the same breed was
thrown into the rapids, also near the middle
# the bridge. In less than an hour he
came up the ferry stairs very wet and not
at all gay. The reason why the animals
are not killed is that the water pOurs down
so rapidly and in such quantities that the
water below, 50 10 speak, cannot run off
fast enough, and it piles up in large water
cones, which are constantly forming and
breaking, lfany strong animal should fall
on to one of these cones, as upon soft
cushion it might slide safely into the cur
rent below The dogs were doubtless for
tunate enough to fall in this way, aided,
also, By the repulsion of the water from the
rocks in the swift channel through which
they passed. Ii is not impossible that some
strong man, in Light strong boat, may
thus, at some futu -e time, 90 over the Horse
shoe Fall and not be killed.

snow, and yielding to the force OF
gravity, started on our downward
