gallon of water. Let the flowers be well
aired whenever the weather is mild
enough. You can get an eboniZed
wooden stand fitted with a lining to lift
out. Place an oil-cloth mat underneath
the stand to save your carpet. They are
used in the drawing rooms of the finest
houses in England, SO you need not be
anxious about their appearance.
Fit wooden shelf to your mantel-
piece, making it as wide as you like, and
cover it with reps or cotton velvet to
match the furniture. Edge 1t with Il
valnnce cut out in squares or scallops,
and trimmed to harmoni Ze with the table
covers. Nothing makes room more
cheerful than does an open fire, which,
however, is seldom seen in American
homes. But our tireless CRATES should
be filled with ferns and ivy, which will
grow there readily, and transform the
harsh iron den into pretty rustic grotto.
Finally. don't plaster your chairs and
sofas against the walls as if. they were
incapable of standing alone; disperse
them about the room, near the tables,
fireplace or flower stand; make them
look as if they took an interest in one an
other and occasionally had sociable
chat together You may add to their
aspect by a judicious sprink-
ling of low, lazy hassOcks, not more than
four inches high at most.-4Hrs. JultaR

voice IN such prolonged mysery that the
whole house cried hydrOphObia and got
up on the top of chairs and tables. Had
this animal been a twelve-pounder in
stead of two and affection the only tie
between the owner and the beast
though it pulled her heart-string-
"Claude" would have been shot; but
it was the purse-strings by which he held
on; he was worth $500. A doctor was
sent for The patient was found with
his nose in an india-rubber shoe and his
rat tail vibrating with a big ache-an
ache the attendant physician immedi-
ately pronounced to be the tOOthache.
Imagine the establishment of the family
when the prescription for Claude was
the dentist. His blanket was put on,
his spirits encouraged and off went the
poor dear to have his teeth fixed.
A regular practitioner was the oper-
atOr. Claude was put into neat little
box, packed in with wool His wonder
ing cOuntenance stuck out of a hole in
the cover. A rubber-covered stick went
into his mouth and kept his jaws open
and the investigation commenced. Two
of his back teeth were pulled-there was
no doubt of that. He expostulated
loudly notwithstanding the gag. Then
he was allowed a respite of some hours,
after which he reluctantly resumed his
harness and had three teeth filled with
amalgam. Thus tinkered, Claude has re-
turned to his home to think of the past
and refuse all sweet things that may
bring to his little canine soul such sOr-
row as he has just suffered.
This little dogs dental bill was $50
and that's but one of his mistress
troubles. She has paid $25 for his pas
sage across the ocean four times. She
has paid 800 for damages done to a suit
of furniture from which he ate every
button in every tuft in the space of half
an hour. She has paid innumerable
railroad officials, to part the tender trav-
eler from her poodle. considering the
dog as a nuisance.-N. Y. Letter to st.

A Heroic Boy.

FREDDIE TENNY, of Allegheny, only
ten years old, is a mate to the boy who
stood on the burning deck, if somebody
would only sing him into fame His
father and mother being away for all
night, Freddie was left to keep house
and take care of his younger brother-a
e-year-old. During the night Freddie
was awakened by smoke, and nearly
suffocated. He saw that the house was
on fire, the floor having caught from
Goals that had fallen from the stove in
the dining room. He gathered up his
little brother and set him out i'll the cold,
and then proceeded to carry water in Il
pail and put out the fire. He cXtin-
guished the flames, took his little
brother back to bed, and both slept well
till morning. In the morning Freddie
called in a family who lived in another
part of the house to see what had hap
pened. Two holes were burned through
the floor-one two feet in diameter and
the other one foot. The little fireman
had saved the property, and probably
some lives, and had all the fun to him
self. He was charged to take care of his
little brother and keep house. and he did
it like a man.-S. Louis Republican,

One OF Sheridan's Practical Jokes.

Another example, in our opinion, of
high order of practical joking, malicious
though it be, is the following one related
by Moore of Sheridan: The Rev. Mr..
O'Bierne, afterward Bishop of Meath,
having arrived at Sheridan's country
house near Osterley, it was proposed
that on the next Sunday the clergyman
should preach at the village church. On
his objecting that he was not provided
with sermon Sheridan offered to write
one for him if he would consent to
preach it. The offer was accepted. The
next morning Sunday Mr.. O'Bierne
found the MS. by his bedside. Having
read it over and corrected some theolog
ical errors, such as at is easier for a
the church and delivered the sermon in
his most impressive style, to the great
satisfaction, rs he thought, of all the
congregation, among whom was Sheri-
dams wealthy neighbOr, Mr.. c.. Some
months after Mr.. O'Bierne found him
self cut by the whole family of the
BIS, with whom he had previously
been intimate; and on expressing his
surprise at this treatment was informed
that Sheridan's sermon had been from
beginning TO end personal attack upon
MIR. C, who had rendered himself
very unpopular by his harsh conduct to
the poor, and to whom the congregation
had applied every sentence the preacher
had delivered. The sermon is preserved
but it is unfortunately too long to quote.
The text is: For the oppression of the
poor, for the signing of the needy, now
will | arise, saith the Lord; | will set
him in safety from him that puffeth at
him" Psalms xii, ). The whole dis
course is so grave and seemly that it
needs an acquaintance with Sheridan's
intention to appreciate the subtle vein OF
irony that runs through It'll the Year
Round.

A Remarkable Dog.

ALMOST every one whose business
brought him to the Central Police Station
has seen Captain jack" the favorite
police dog. For the past two years the
Captain" has been a regular visitor at
the station-house, coming there almost
nightly. He was owned by well-known
gentleman of this city, who took the best
possible care of him, and he had all the
comforts of nice home. Strange to
say, however, he preferred the company
of the night men to that of his legiti-
mate master. Jack" usually arrived at
the station shortly before eight O'Clock
in the evening when the night men were
formed in line preparatory to their going
on their respective beats, when he would
single out one of the men the scarcely
ever went with the same man twice. and
follow close behind him on his beat dur
ing the entire night, returning with the
officer at four O'Clock in the morning.
After the officer had hung up his belt
and baton the Captain" would wag his
tail in token of pleasure at having faith
fully performed his duty, and would then
make a bee line for home.
Capt. Jack had remarkable faculty
for sccnting out providers and drunken
men in alleys, and whenever he came
across one of these "night birds" he
would utter a sharp howl, attracting the
officers attention. Numerous burglaries
have been averted and burglars brought
to Justice through the instrumentality of
this remarkable dog. When a policeman
was engaged in hand to hand combat
with some sneak-thief the "Captain"
would watch for an opportunity, when
with astonishing alacrity he would
grasp the rascal by the throat with his
teeth, and hold him until he could be
handcuffed. The intelligent creature
knew every nook and corner in the city,
was seldom seen on the streets in the
day time, and would never follow
" relief man." but as soon as the bell
struck the hour of eight he was
at his post with the squad. The men,
of course, treated him kindly, and
many patrolman on his lone
ly beat shared his midnight lunch with
" Captain" What is more remarkable
" Jack" would never accompany a new
man. Instinct appeared to have taught
him to ascertain IA patrolman's nature
before venturing out with him. A hun
drcd incidents of this remarkable Great
ure's sagacity, which would have done
credit to a human being and which were
of emulation, might be narrated
of the =" Captain" did space permit. A
few nights since he was found dead in
an alley by a policeman, when upon eN-
animation it was found that some one
had poisoned him. The news spread
rapidly among the men, and an apparent
feeling of sorrow came over them AS
though they had lost some valued friend.
And they had. Captain Jack was of the
specie known as shepherd and a power
ful dog, and his presence is nightly
missed at the Central Station.-Det,~it

The "Check.Deposit" Swindle.

IT may be remembered that about two
years ago the country bankers in the
West were swindled out of considerable
sums of money by the &C. heck-deposit''
scheme. The men in this peculiar and
eminently successful line were well in
formed regarding the intricacies of bank
ing, were apparently well acquainted
with leading bankers throughout the
country, and could use their tongues to
such advantage that they rarely failed
to create favorable impression and to
get advances on worthless checks. Their
manner of operation was this A we'll
dressed fellow would call at a bank and
present letter of introduction purport-
ing to be from some mercantile firm in
Chicago. This document would recon-
mend Mm highly and the hope be ex-
pressed in it that the one to whom it was
addressed would treat the bearer court
eOusly, since he designed doing some
trading in the town, and the result would
be mutually beneficial. The name affixed
to the letter would be that of widely
known house, and in the absence of any
knowledge that the signature was d
forgery the person presenting the letter
would be treated with consideration.
The next step was to deposit check for
5000 or $40, 600, signed by the same per-
sons who were imagined by the banker
lures to both being identical he would
think, unless very suspicious, that he
had added customer to his list. A day
or two subsequently, the deposition would
call again. state that he had made a
trade with such and such dealer in
town, and as he secured an advantage by
paying cash, or desired to settle as he
went along, could he be accommodated
with II certain sum-generally half what
a smaller check called for, and a third of
one, say for SIC, 600. In three instances
out of five the money would be handed
to him, and of course he would never be
seen again. In the other two telegram
would be sent to the supposed signers,
and an answer returned, forgery"
This profitable scheme was exposed
when it was fourishing, and the rascals
who were engaged in the business be-
came frightened and, for time, ceased
their visits to the country. They have,
however lately resumed operations, and
the country bankers are admOnished to
be on their guard. The safest plan is to
telegraph and find out if every check
presented by stranger be genuine;
they will not discover that they
have been the victims of sharpers until
their currency has disappeared.
What prompted the calling of atten
ton to this matter was the fact that a
man within the past week had printed
100 "letter-heads" and envelopes of
well-known wholesale grocery-house of
this city, with no other possible object
than using them for letters of introduce
ton. Accordingly, those directly inter
ested must be very careful if they would
not be robbed by the smOOth-talking de-
position of bogus checks.-Chtcago Irtb-

A Swiss WaSherWOman.

To A moke-stained Londoner the cN-
quisite purity of the homespun Swiss
linen is constant wonder and reproach.
And yet scarcely IL wonder if he chance
to sit by the lakeside, say at Brienz, on IA
sunny morning, and watch the proceed
ings of the little Swiss maiden in Il straw
hat and black velvet bodice with the sill
yer chains, who is plying her occupation
of laundress. She has padded her boat
far out into the lake, and is letting it
drift with the current. In the boat be-
side her is pile of reshly-washed linen,
glistening like snow in the sunlight
But its whiteness does not content her
As the boat moves laZily along, each sep
arate piece of linen is thrown into the
lake, and trailed slowly through the blue
water, blue as ever painted Still she is
not quite satisfied. She takes, perhaps,
three or four handkeIchIfs in her hand at
time and literally throws them over
board, in such a manner that the spccta-
tor on the bank cannot but breathe IA fer
vent hope that they may not be his own
property But before he has time TO
frame his wishes into words she has
caught them again with Il dextcrous sort
of legerdemain, and the process is re
peated again and again. And all the
while the black-velvet bodiccd maiden,
with the glittering silver chains and pins,
snowy sleeves and round white arms, if
she be true Brienz maiden, is singing
like very ghtingale.-Saturd0y Jonr-
