Natural History of the Dog.

This is a dog.
DO you see the dog?
He looks as natural AS life.
The dog is called by some, mans most
faithful servant. One or two instances
have been known where a dog frightened
away thief or bit an sgent. They have
also been known to bark st the moon
and thus prevent it falling and dashing
the earth to pieces. If it wasn't for dogs

questions you desire.

Romance of the Romanons.

New York Times.
The house Of 4 ,mano8. which has
filed so large s place IN European his
tory, narrowly escaped extinction in the
very year of its rise, owing its safety
entirely to one of the very peasants whom
i has SO often persecuted. After the
expulsion from Moscow, in 1912, of the
Polish usurper Vladislsv, It became
necessary to elect new Gar, the line Of
Ruric having ended with Feodor Ivauo-
Witch, the son Of Ivan the Terrible. The
choice fell upon Russian noble named
Michael FeodorOvitch RomanOs, who
was then at Yaroslav, III North Russia,
with few attendants. The Polish King
hearing OF this, sent band OF men to
surprise him On their way thither
they halted at the cottage OF peasant
named Ivan Susanin, giving Themselves
out as foreign soldiers on their way 10
take service with the new Gar. But, as
one of them dismounted, ne happened to
stumble, and in his rsgc muttered a
Polish oath, which Susanin's quick ear
overheard. The peasant instantly OWNED
their purpose, but could fnd no better
way Of bsfling it than to offer himself rs
their guide, while he secretly dispatched
one of his SONS TO warn The Car of the
meditated treacbery. Then guiding the
traitors into a gloomy dt f e, of which
alone ne knew the outlet, he boldly
avowed What be done, and fell beneath
their swor's, defying them to the last.
This hersic self-sacrifice was not made in
vsin. The timely warning enabled the
f! Gar to overtake and destroy his intended
assassins, and Susanin's devotion was
rewarded with the permanent exemption
of his family from taxation, and the
erection of statue to hismeDlory. This
statue ID still 70 be seer in his native
town of Koatroms, which, by singular
coincidence, was also the birthplace oi

Broken Hearts.

Chambers Journal
4 man is said TO be "red" or 'twhite"
with rage. In using these expressions
we are physologically speaking of the
nervous condition of the minute circula-
ton of the mans blood. "Red" rage
means partial paralysis of minute blood
vessels; and "whitc" rage means tenn
porary suspension of the action OF the
circulation itself But such disturbance
can not be produced without the oc-
currence of permanent organic evils of
the vital organs, especially of the heart
and brain. One striking example is
given by DIR. Richardson, in the Gaze OF
a member of his own profession. This
gentleman told me that an original irri-
liability of temper was permitted, by
want OF due control, to pass into dis
position of almost persistent orchronic
anger, 20 that every trife in his way was
cause OF uuwarraptable irritation.
Somtimes his anger was 90 vehement that
all about him were alarmed for him evoJl
more than for themselves; and when the
attack was over there were hours OF sor-
row and regret in private, which were
not as exhausting as the previous rage.
IL the midst OF one of these outbreaks
OF short, severe madness, he suddenly
felt, to use his own expression, as if his
"'hesrt were lost" He reeled under the
impression, was Bauseated and faint
then recovering, he put his hand TO his
wTist aud diecJ7ered al intermittent ac>
tion OF his heart IS the cause of his
faintness. He never completely rallied
from that shock, and IN the day of his
death, ten years later, he was never free
from intermlttency. 81 am broken.
hearted" hs would say, physically
broken hearted" And 80 he was; but
knowledge of the broken heart tempered
marvelously his passion and saved him
many years OF g really useful life. He
died ultimately from an acute terrible
disorder.
