Doas On Errands Of RercE.

The suggestion of the Weir Zeit,Ing is
that a race of dogs should be attached TO
armies in their campaigns, or at least to
the corps of ambulance service attending
upon them, and that after every battle
the dogs in question should be sent forth
to range over the field of battle in search
of those Wretched wounded soldiers who
have not been killed outright, but who
have hidden themselves in some refuge,
and, after figuring in the list Of miss
ing" men, too often perish miserably
before any relief can find them out. 1t
seems that the idea of employing dogs in
this way is by no means new one, but
was brought forward two years ago at
Dresden, where some dogs qualified for
this purpose were shown in an exhlbl-
ton. Since that time experiments have
been made by means Of crossing the st.
Bernard with other races with view to
obtaining the most suitable breed, and q
very satisfactory result is said to have
been arrived at by the German fanciers.
The precise mode of employing the ami
mails on their benefcent mission is de-
scribed in the Vienna paper, which
explains that the dog is furnished with a
leather collar and plate, having marked
upon it his number and the division of
the army to which he is attached, and
the Geneva cross. To this collar is sus-
pended long leather bag, containing
pencil and slip of paper, and even a little
lantern in case of his being sent out at
night. The wounded man, upon being
found, opens the bag and writes his
name, if he can, upon the paper, together
with the nature of his injuries, and on
the return of the animal to the ambu-
lance, assistance is sent underits guidance
to the spot where the sufferer is con-
cnaled

How many people there are who in
fine clothes and with smiling faces "aS-
sist' at a modern wedding, yet In their
heart think the profuse outlay and the
general festive arrangements usual on
the occasion, a piece of tiresome folly !
Few, however, like to make dead set
against time-honored customs unless
strong personal feelings or personal in
terests are concerned.
Marriage may certainly lay claim to
being the most important event in life,
and as such there must ever be solem-
nitv associated with it. Of course it is
right that there should be a certain pub
icity attached to every marriage eere-
mony, and probably in this fact origi-
mated the custom of inviting friends to
be present on the occasion, till by de-
grees wedding parties have become
more and more crowded, and now i Is a
common thing for vast assembly to
congregate at them. Of course where
there is great wealth, and people love
this sort of display, and bride and BRIDE
groom have nerve for it, and are, more
over, happy in possessing troops of
friends ~ there is no reason why money
should not ciFculate-the confectioner

uuet. and the milliner makes her mint
Of money by rich toilettes. But vice of
the humber class is to ape the rank
above it, and confess it has often to me
seemed pitiable to know at what cost
of after self-denial a snowy wedding has
taken place.

The OLD WORLD AND THE NEw.-Alex.
andria is so little of an Eastern city that
it is difficult sometimes to believe that it
is one of the capitals of Mahomedan
country and one of the chief cities of the

pavements, the frequent gas-lamps, the
lofty houses, the spaciehs shops, the
crowd of carriages, the Frank costumes,
one feels quite Western. But you turn q

in their hand, and you pass in and see
a broad space covered with mating
where people are PROSTATE in prayer, and
up above is little minaret, where an old
man in white cotton quavers' out the in
vitation, and tells you there is no God
but Allah, and that prayer is better than
sleep. AS you go on you see money
changers in the street, letter-Writers
doing the correspondence of a dozen,
cross legged dschoolmasters teaching their
children to recite the FatWah, the chap
ter of the Koran that all must know as
we know the Lords Prayer; you turn
into police court and listen to long
robed Cadi administering Justice to half
a dozen screaming men and women; and
then suddenly you come upon big ware
houses full of goods, stores piled with
cotton, steam presses turning out hun
dreds of bales per day, great market
where English, italian, and Greek are
almost the only languages you hear, and
a port crowded with shipping of every

Convenient Directions.

An express agent in the Columbus

preserves-and silks won't wash. If

A MlEonaire,s Mfserisa.

Jay Gould is a very recluse in his
habits, being evidently afraid of vio-
lence. He was assaulted last summer
by Selover, Zone of his victims), who,
had it not been for fear Of the law,
would have shot him. Being prevented
from this, he pitched him down an area
and let him crawl out as best he could.
The fact that Could former confederate,
"Jim Fisk" was murdered by one of
his victims shows the former what des-
perate men may do, and must impress
him with a sense of his own danger.
Gould is in il-heatlh, and, though ne
has made an immense fortune, he is
unhappy. He knows how easily such
money may be lost. He cannot retire,
for that would be greater misery. No,
he must remain and fight it out to the
last. Then he knows that he is not safe
in the street, and it is useless to appeal
to the courts of law for protection. Jim
Fisk had bought up the courts, but that
did not protect him from the assassin.
It Is question how many millions are
necessary to make man happy in such
q position.

Al Interesting Puzzle.

Perhaps some of our readers are not
familiar with the following puzzle: A
young man asked an old man for his
daughter in marriage. The answer was,
"Go into the orchard and bring in a par
eel of apples. Give me one-half Of the
whole number, and the mother one-half
of the balance and half an apple over,
and the daughter one-half of the re-
mainder and half an apple over, and
have one left for yourself, without cut
ting the apple, and then, if she is will
ing, you can have her" He solved the
question, and how many did he bring?
Fourteen, as you can easily prove. The
old woman was to have one-haf of the
balance, which Would be three and a
half, and half an apple over, which
would make four apples for her. There
would be three apples left, of which the
daughter was to have one-half and half
an apple over, which would give her
two, and leave the lover his one, with
out cutting the apple"

Words Of Wisdom.


Very few diseases are so mortal as the
fear Of death.
All human virtues increase and
strengthen by the experience of them.
Relations always take the greatest
liberties, and frequently give the least
assistance,
Avoid tedious circumlocution in Ian
guage, Words, like cannon-balls, should
90 straight to their mark.
We trouble life by the care of death,
and death by the care Of life; the one
torments, the other frights us.
Modern education too often covers the
fingers with rings, and at the same time
cuts the sinews Of the wrists.
The remembrance of beloved mother
becomes the shadow of all our actions
it either goes before or follows.
Our own hands are heavens favorite
instruments for supplying US with the
necessaries and luXuries Of life.
All men look to happiness in the
future. To every eye heaven and earth
seem to embrace in the distance.
There are stone bridges in China three
and four miles long, and an arch OF the
incredible span of six hundred feet.
The law should be to the sword what
the handle is to the hatehet; it should dl-
rect the stroke and temper the force.
Talk of fame and romance-an the
glory and adventure in the world are
not worth one hour of domestic bliss.
Itis dangerous for one to climb his
family-tree too high, for he is very apt
to get among dead and decayed branches.
Value the friendship of him who
stands by you in the storm swarms Of
insects will surround you in the sunshine.
We hate to see boy with the man
ners of an old man; we hate worse to
see an old man with the manners of q
boy.
Love cannot fully sdmit the feeling
that the beloved object may die; all
passions feel their object to be as eternal
as themselves.
The man who violently hates or
ardently loves, cannot avoid being in
some degree slave to the person de-
tested or adored.

THE HUMAN FACE A Massachusetts
BILE may the human face become that
frequently it is but a mask which con-
ceafs the real character. The men and
women most famous for heartless cruelty
have often been celebrated for their
handsome faeesy writers of fiction have
rot been unmindful of the fact, and Faust
is represented as being handsome man !;
while the German fishermen sing Of the
sirens who drag mems souls down per-
dition with their fatal dover of beauty.
Some faces are unreadable, and show
nothing of. the owners character. The
merriest men now and then have solemn
hees, and the most serious frequently
have cheerful ones. Frequently the
most heartless coquette has all the shy
graces of a girl of sixteen, while the
hearts of some women who look you
through with cold, steady eyes may be
filed with love and tenderness that you
are too blind to discover. So we all go
on, wearing guises of different device,
never quite eQneealiAg, never revealing,
the life within.

-Tbis must be an excellent WAY

This must be. an excellent way to
clean carpet. Try it. First, have it
thoroughly busted and the floor well
cleaned. Then tack down the carpet as
you want it; take half pail Of water,
hot as can be borne; put ina tablespoon
fi1l of ammonia. Have stiff scrubbing
brush and borax soap, and scrub a small
place; have a second pail of water and
ammonia; rinse off with this, and with
a wooden cloth, wipe as dry as possible,
Renew the water often, until the whole
carpet Is cleansed. Then open the doors
and windows to dry it. This removes
the grease stains and brightens the car
pet. Another and less troublesome way
to clean a carpet is to sprinkle saft
over the surface after it is tackled down,
and thoroughly sweep. But the grease
spots are not removed by this process.
The carpet, however, is made to lool'
very clean and bright

I'VE have heard people talk about
their "sensitiveness" sometimes as if it
was a peculiarly meritorious quality
something to be proud Of indeed, until
we have longed to undeceiYe them, For
by "sepsiEYenessH they only meant that
they were extremely quick to take
offense, and uncommonly apt to fancy
hidden meanings where none existed.
Such sensitiveness has other names not
quite SO fattering to its possessors; as
touchiness, suspicious temper, and even
selfconceit. Few people are more un-
comfortable in everyday life than these
sensitive ones, and too often they ex-
haust the patience and ALLEVIATE the love
of their best friends, To be always ex-
niaining on smoothing over is weari-
some task, and when We must stop to
measure our words and adjust our phrases
continually the constraint becomes irri-
tating as well as tiresome.
