TWO DOG STORIES.

Hartford Post: A little dog belonging
to Mr.. Isaac Roberts, OF Middletown, for
some days past had seen members of
the family 60 to the barn Tor eggs.
Thursday he was seen coming from the
barn to the house with the rooster in
lull chase. The dog got i'll ahead and
deposited an egg upon the floor. He
PROBABLY thought he could save the fam
lily the trouble OF going 10 the barn for
eggs in future.
Sacramento Union: A resident of
Sacramento is the proprietor OF dog
and a cat, which are friends, and appear
to have much pleasure in each Others
society. They play together. eat to-
gether, and hunt together. Yesterday
The dog swallowed hers at one gulp,
but the cat proceeded more slowly, the
dog meanwhile standing by with coun-
tenance which bore evidence OF a
willingness amounting to anxiety
to help the feline with the job in
hand. The cat, however, would not be
assisted, but growled determinedly
whenever the dog approached too close.
The latter looked on rttlectingly for a
minute longer, but suddenly was seized
with an idea. A few yards distant was
a knot-hole at which they had been &C.
customed to watcu ior rats and mice.
Running to this hole the canine com.
menced brisk scratching and vigorous
barking, as though whole colony OF
rats were in signt. The cat ran to the
hole TO assist i'll capture, and the dog
completed her strategical demonstra'
tion by swallowing the meat"

THE BEST STIMULANTs.-A corre-
spondent of the London Lancet, who
owns water-power mills, writes: Il am
frequently compelled, at this season OF
the year, to have men working in water
even in frosty weather. l find the fol
lowing allowance gives great satisfac-
ton TO the men, and we never have a
case of cold or injury to the men in any
way: Kettle of coffee made with hall
sweet milk, halt water, three or four
eggs (whipped) poured into it when off
the boil; hot toasted bread, with plenty
OF butter OF the finest quality. Serve
up this every two and a half hours.
Tne expense is much less than the
usual allowance OF whisky, and the men
work far better, and if care is taken TO
have the coffee, milk (cream is still bet
ter), bread, ana especially the butter, OF
the very finest quality, the men are de-
lighted with it. lam persuaded it would
be worth while trying this allowance i'll
stead OF grog. G wing extra grog gives
the men notion that it is good for them,
and perpetuales the belief in stimulants
among workingmen."
