What q Paris Dog Can Do.

A Paris correspondent of the New
Orleans Pscdyuae tells the following
story: "There is q terrier in a cafe,
Rue st. Honore, that no sooner sees an
habitual customer enter than he runs up
to the newcomer opens his mouth, and
looks imploringly at the customer. The
latter SO well understands the pantomime
that he puts a sou in the open mouth.
The terrier bounds to the door, and in an
instant is at the nearest pastry cooks.
The latter gives the dog a cake, which
the latter brings to his benefactor, who
breaks the cake into three pieces. One
is given the terrier; the dog, having
eaten it, stands on his hind legs, let's the
customer put the second piece of cake on
his (the dog's) nose, lets it stay there
untouched until the gentleman raps ten
times on the table; at the tenth
rap the terrier losses the cake in the air,
and catches it before it falls to the floor.
The gentleman then takes the third
piece of cake in his hand, and says:
Billy, you have eaten two of the three
pieces of cake. There are thousands of
dogs in Paris who have never tasted a
piece of cake. Now, Billy, if you be a
gentleman-and I believe you are a
gentleman, Billy-you will take this
third piece of cake and lay it in the
street for dogs that are not as well off in
this world as you are The terrier takes
the third piece of cake in his mouth,
carries it to the street, leaves it there,
returns to the customer, looks inquiring.

Home Life a Hundred Years Age.

One hundred years ago not pound of
coal or a cubic foot of illuminating gas
had been burned in the country. No
iron stoves were used, and no contriv-
snces for economizing heat were en-
ployed until DIR. Franklin invented the
iron framed fireplace which still bears
his name. All the cooking and warming
in town as well as in the country were
done by the aid of a fire built on the
brick hearth or in the brick ovens. Pine
knots or tallow candles furnished the
light for the long winter nights, and
sanded floors supplied the place of rugs
and carpets. The water used for house.
hold purposes was drawn from deep
wells by the creaking sweep. No form
pump was used in this country,
80 far as we can learn, until
after the commencement of the present
century. There were no friction matches
in those early days, by the aid of which
a fire could be easily kindled, and if the
fire went out on the hearth over night,
and the finder was damp, so that the
spark would not catch, the alternative
remained of wading through the snow a
mile or SO to borrow brand of neigh.
Dor. Only one room in any house was
warm, unless some member of the family
was i'll; in all the rest the temperature
was at zero during many nights in win.
ter. The men and women of hundred
years ago undressed and went to their
beds in temperature colder than that
of our barns and woodsheds, and they
never complained.

Thou art with the angels, darling,
Resting on their sun-kissed shore;
DAYS of WEAKNESS and longing,
Thou shalt know them never more.
Ended for thee earthly trial,
Gained by thee eternal bliss,
Would we call thee, could we call thee
Back to such life as this?
But for us, who still must linger,
In this shadowy vale of tears;
With our oft repeated sorrows,
And our many signs and fears,
Life seems shorn of half its beauty,
And we cannot understand,
Why the fairest flowers must always,
Be selected for His hand.

Ignorin q Gender /.

to observe it. Sometimes it takes curious
forms. A week ago disting uished and

pupils what was meant by gender in
