A DOG STORY.

Here ID another story of faithful
dog. one Of the good old school book
kind. A man in Vernon county, Mo-.
was riding on horseback through an ex-
tensive timber land, accompanied by the
sagacious animal in question. The dog
jumped and caught the bride rein. and
stopped the horse. The man drove him
off and tried to proceed, but he persisted
in stopping the horse, and showed such
excitement In his manner that bis mas
ter concluded he was mad, and. drawing
his revolver, shot him. The dog started
and ran back. wailing with pain, along
the path by which they had come.
Presently the man missed his oyercoat,
which had been tied to the saddle. He
turned back to search for it, and about
q mile back he found it on the. ground,
and lying on it was his faithful dog
dead. from his wound.

GROWTH OF HAIR ON A DOLLS HEAD.
[Carlisle (ky.l Democrat.

carlisle tky.f Democrat
We have recently heard Of cases, ap-
parently we'll authenticated, of the
growth Of human hair after death, but
a case has recently come within our
knowledge Of the growth of human
hair on that object Of infantile diversion
known as doll-baby, which is now in
possession Of Mr.. Henry Schultz. The
doll was purchased in Cincinnati, about
two years ago. by Mr.. ALI. B. Cochran,
recently Of Maysville, but now of Gin
cinnati, and became the property Of
Mr.. Schultz's little girl. 1t is about
ten inches long, with a china head,
which Is covered with light flaxen hair.
The hair is affixed to linen with wax
and glued or pasted on the head. When
first purchased the hair simply covered
the neck, but in the last two years has
grown three inches, and now reaches
below the waist, and has the appear
lance and palpability of the human hair
OF a child. The fact is clear that it has
grown as stated, for several have seen
it from time to time, and have noticed
the gradual eIongation. 1t is supposed
the filaments derive nutriment from
the wax.

DIED ON THE FIELD OF HONOR.

An old military custom has boon re-
vived in the French army. Some time
ago an artilleryman Of the Fourteenth
Regiment named Chassefiere lost his
life at fire in Tarbes, while heroically
endeavoring to save the life of his cap
tain. The General commanding the dt-
vision has just ordered that the name
Of Chassetiere shall be called at the
parade of his corps every day for a
month, and that the Brigadier In charge
Of his squad shall answer, IS Mort en-
braue!" This reminds us of what was
done in the case Of Latour d'Auvergne,
"first grenadier of France" His name
for years was sung out at the morning
roll call, and the proud response was
given by the senior sergeant, dead on
the field of honor!'

COOKING by COLD.

A Hungarian chemist teaches us to
cook by cold. The arctic voyager then
can dispense, or nearly SO, with fuel for
the preparation Of his necessary meals,
and indeed the germ of the invention
was probably the we'll know property of
iron, mercury and other metals, which
in the polar regions burn and blister the
skin as redhot poker would do, Meat
exposed to an artificial cold Of forty de-
grees centigrade below the freezing
render it wholesome, and may be made
appetising by very brief sojourn before
the fire. Hungarian enterprise has been
equal to the occasion, and a company at
Pesth now busies itself in timing and
exporting the cold, the very cold pro-
visions OF DR.. Sawiczewesky.

THE LAS BABY.

good bishopshowe him to his bedroom
in due .lcourse Of time. GOOD night ;
I'll put my boots outside the door, y
said his brother. "All right, SAM" re-
piled the bishop, ''nobody'll touch
EN-" BY the way, that same brother
of Bishop Clark was one. of the wittiest
men alive. It runs in the family. He
once went to see one of his parishion-
ers, q lady with prodigious family,
which had recently been increased. As
he rose to leave the lady stopped him
with "But you haven't seen my last
baby" mo" he quickly replied, "and
I never expect toll" Then he fed.
