A Cunning Dog.

A NEAR neighbor of mine has large
mongrel dog, terrible nuisance to all
passing the house, which unfortunately
stands near the highway. The brute
has the nasty habit of rushing out and
attacking every passing vehicle. Com
plants were loud and numerous; and
at length the owner hit upon a plan
which he thought would effectually cure
his dog. He attached a small log IF
wood, or q "clog," by chain to his
collar. This answered admirably; for
no sooner did the dog start in pursuit
of anything than the clog not only
checked his speed, but generally rolled
him over. Doggie was evidently puz-
zled, and reflected upon the position.
and if he did not possess reasoning
powers, he certainly showed something
very like them, for he quickly over
came the difficulty, and to the surprise
of all, was soon at his old work, nearly
as bad as ever. And this is how he
managed. No longer did he attempt
to drag the clog on the ground and al
low it to check and upset him; but be-
fore starting he caug ht it up in his
mouth, ran before the passing horse,
dropped it. and commenced the attack;
and when distanced, would again seize
the clog in his mouth, and resume his
position ahead, and thus became as
great a pest as ever. Even on his ordi-
nary travels about he is now seen car
rying his clog in his mouth. instead of
letting it drag on the ground between
his legs.-CbGnsbevs' Journal.

That Swiss Watch.

ONE-HoRsE GULCH will keep time
hereafter for all creation, for one Of
the boys has carried off the famous
Swiss watch which did not find pur-
chaser at the Centennial Exhibition. 1t
was about as large as an ordinary
" -winder," and was a minute re-
peater, striking on musicalbells the
hour. the half-hour, the quarter-hour
and the number of minutes that elapsed
of the unexpired quarter. In addition
to this it told the time to y fifth Of q
second; and, by means of Il double ar
rangement, noted the passage of two
distinct events or occurrences at the
same moment-timing two horses, for
instance, starting at different instants
1t was calendar also, showing the
days of the week, of the month and the
month of the year, and, by means of a
wheel which made a fourth of a revo-
luton in a year, noted the quadrennial
recurrence IF the 29th of February.
Finally, as if Overlapping all the other
tr;umphs in its mechanism, it showed
the phases of the moon, as that lumi-
nary presents them, by means Of q
diminutive moon. The watch was not
sold in Philadelphia, was offered in vain
to New York millionaires, and was
finally sent to San Francisco jeweler.
Three weeks ago an Arizona miner,
who had struck wonderful lead and
regarded $4,000 as a small dime,
stepped into the store, looked at the
watch, and in ten minutes said he would
take it. He paid the money without
winking and remarked that he thought
the boys up at the Gulch couldn't beat

is, that it has now passed under the rule
of England. The Mussulman, rs well
as the Christian. part of the population
cannot fail to rejoice over the arrival of
an English Governor, as Nations do
when delivered from foreign occupa-
ton. Cyprus will now be able to profit
by some Of the prosperity that has come
to Western lands which were peOpled
by wandering tribes when it had al
ready considerable place in history.
The possession of Cyprus cannot be
associated from the pledges given by
the Sultan and the responsibilities un-
dertaken by this country. The Asiatic
Provinces cannot be rescued from mis-
rule except by Western agency, and it
will be necessary for English authority
to be on the spot. Cyprus is, on the
whole, the best station that could have
been chosen for such a purpose. The
Porte will now he expected to develop
the vast natural resources of its Asiatic
Empire, or, at least, to let that task be
done by others. The country must
now be opened up by roads. and. per-
haps, by railways. Something more
will doubtless be heard of the scheme
to construct railway through the
Euphrates or the Tigris Valley-a prop
osition which select committee of the
House of Commons investigated in
1872, and to which it gave qualified
assent. A good many facts and opin-
ions may then be culled from the evil
dence of the witnesses against as well
as for the project. To construct a line
through more than 900 miles of thinly-
populated and sometimes desert coun-
try would certainly be bold enter
prise. But, if the Government should
think that such a railway is necessary
to insure the safety of our communities
ton with India, the starting-point
would in any case be commanded by
Cyprus. That island will, in fact, be
an admirable naval station, whether for
the purpose of protecting the Suez
Canal, securing second road to India,
or giving this country the requisite au-
thority in its relations with the Porte.

This reply may not apply to all
Americans, but it is lamentably true to
great extent. In Germany the boy is
brought up where he sees something
done, and has some idea of doing it.

into fifteen-inch collar in the twinkle
of an eye. She ought to stretch them
crosswise, and not lengthwise. Then
in straigtening out your shirt-bosom
she makes another mistake of the same
sort. They, also, ought to be pulled
crosswise instead of lengthwise, partic-
ularly in the neighborhood of the neck.
A lengthwise pull draws the front of
the neckband somewhere directly under
your chin, where it was never meant to
20, and of course that spoils the set of
your collar. With the front of your
neckband an inch too high, and your
collar aninch too long, you have most
undesirable combination"

exposure now quickly followed. The
parents who arrived next upon
the scene found the house in
utter confusion, the bailiffs in pos
session, the Principal and her hus-
band (who is said tn have PLAYED
an astute part in the swindle) fled, and
the pupils dispersed in every direction,
some of these last, whose friends re-
sided abroad, arriving penniless and in
pitiable condition at the railway sta
ton. In many cases the kindness
and liberality Of entire strangers sue

The health of several of these poor
girls is considerably, in some cases
may be permanently, injured through
this precious pair of impustors. If tho

they so richly deserve, and that no
hysterical sentimentalists will interfere
to obtain remission of their sentence,

Doing Up Mems Linen.

SOME time ago my husband used to
complain that his linen collars did not
set nicely in front. There was always
a fullness, which, in the case OF stand
ing collars, was particularly trying to q
man who felt good deal of pride in
the dressing IF his neck, as it spoiled
the effect Of his cravat and often left q
gap for the display Of either the collar
band of the shirt or half inch of bare
skin. While talking with practical
shirtmaker one day he mentioned his
annoyance, and inquired if there was
any way Of relieving it. Yes" an
swered the man; the fault is with
your laundress. While doing up your
collars she stretches them the wrong
way. Damp linen is very pliable. and
