BEWARE OF THE sPITz DOG.
New York Herald.

A careful examination Of the stat,
istcs of death from hydrophobia
which we publish 10 the article ens
titled "Beware Of the, Dog" will
convince any reasonable person Of
the danger attending the introduc-
ton into this country of the Spitz dog.
Since his advent there has been an
alarming increase in the number of
deaths from bydrophobia. This is
due to the savage habits of the ami
NAL, which render him a most un-
desirable neighbor. The Spitz dog
comes from the forests Of Pomerania,
where he exists in a semi-savage
state, and where he is ia constant
contact with the still more savage
wolf Although domesticated the
savage instincts Of the brute remain,
and, unlike other CANNES which have
long dwelt with man, the Spitz seems
incapable of forming 4 lasting friends
ship with his benefactor. 1t is well
ascertained that he is liable to turn
upon his master at any moment, and
those who have visited houses where
the Spitz has been admitted as q
pet probably entertain a lively i'm
preston of bis pronounced hostility
to strangers. The beauty of this
animal is we'll calculated to make
him favorite with the ladies, who
do not think of the terrible peril to
which the possession Of their pat
exposes them. In the case Of child.
rem the danger is particularly great,
as the young people always make q
friend Of a dog, and are always given
to INDUCING is practical jokes at the
expense of their canine companions.
In the case Of thoroughly domsstica-
ted dogs this is not attended with
| any serious results, because the dogs
take to it Kindly /; but the sullen and
snappish nature of the Spi,z may at
any time break out and result in in
Jury to che children involving
horrible death. And death seems to
result inevitably from The bite of the
Spitz dog. He is a public enemy.

"A good joke is told as having been
perpetrated by farmer near EImira.
He had been bothered greatly by
hunters from the cities who had en-
tered his woods with a perfect aban-
don and slaughtered the squirrels in
greet numbers. --One day he procur~
ed two or three squirrels, took them
TO a taxidermist and had them stuffed.
He took them to his woods and nail
ed them fast TO the limbs of as many
trees ia such way that they could
easily be discovered by the hunters.
How much powder and lead has been
wasted on these squirrels it is impos-
sible to tell, but many good marks
man has wondered why he could not
bag the game. The old farmer has
doubtless enjoyed many a hearty
laugh at the discontinue of tine
hunters.

BEATING A DEAD-BHAT.
Detroit Free Press

For some days past an unknown
female has been in the habit. Of maxi
+ ing an after noon trip On the Wood
ward avenue cars, generally getting
aboard at Jefferson avenue and rids
ing to Brady street. The first two
or three times she paid her fare
promptly enough, but the next trip
she wrote something on a card,
handed it to a gentleman, and he
paid her fare. The next trip she
waited till the driver rang the fares
bell, and when she saw him looking
through the door she advanced and
held up card on which was writ,
ten VS.
~ am deaf and dumb"
The driver didn't want to create
a scene, and she rode as dead-head.
Next day she went through the same
performance, but when she boarded
the car the third afternoon be was
ready for her. He had every reason
to believe her fraud, as she had
been heard to speak in car coming
down. When. she entered the car
she took seat and began reading,
seeming to have no earthly interest
10 the fare question. There are no
conductors on the route, and the driy-
or controls both doors Rsfere

Iknown female was. il,e - ssss0sa'-
ger. Shesrose and rang the bell at
1.-The street, but the driver paid not
the least heed. She rang again, and
he hurried up The horss. Then she
tried to pull the bell off the car, but
the man never turned his head. The
woman rushed 10 the door and push>
ed aud tugged till she was red in the
face, but not al ioch would it bulge.
Rushing 10 the front door, she pounds
ed the glass in a furious manner,
and by the driver "accidently'
looked around. She gestuled wildly,
and as he shook his head in stupid
way, she held up a card, which
said IL am Geaf and dumb" The
driver fumbied around for two or
three miputes anu brought out small
p.acard on which was printed:
$50 am / !"
They we're then about half mile
above Brady street, making excei-
lent time, and the woman's indignas
ton was so great ,iat she shook her
fist at the driver aud screamed out
"I'll have you SHOT for this! !"
He held up l,is card, shook his
head, and paid no further attention
to her blood curdling threats. AT
the turnstable mile and half above
Brady street, the door slid back and
the woman jnmoed into the mud.
She blessed that man from crown to
sole, and she blessed all lis relatives
back to the revelation, bat he did
not seem to hear her. As he started
off she called DOT:
"You are monster, william, sneak,
and thief p
He gave ,he lines q shake, got The
card from bis pocket, and she was
not too far away to read The answer;

glasses, as they would for warrant
