The Saint Bernard Dog.

The Great Saint Bernard mountain is
one of the high mountains in Switzer-
land. On the highest point of the pass
over it is large stone convent, which
is used as place of refuge for travel
ers: 1t is eight thousand feet above the
sea, and is the abode of number of
pious men called monks
They have breed of large noble
dogs that scent out people lost in the
snow. They scratch away the drift,
and bark loudly all the while so as to let
the monks know what has happened.
One of these dogs saved forty per-
sons, and among them was little boy
that the dog managed to restore from
frozen state, and carried on his back
to the convent.
These dogs are tall, with large limbs
and broad chests. With case con-
tanning food or cordials slung about
their necks, they go out to seek for
travellers. Sometimes the monks go
with them.
Being able on their four feet to cross
great sheets of snow where men could
one who may be lost in the drifts.
They supply him with food. and some
times take him home on their backs.
In winter there are what are called
avalanches. A great mass of snow
gathers on high place, till it gets so
heavy that it falls at once down the
mountain. In doing SO it makes a
noise like the discharge of a cannon.
Sometimes the snowdrifts surround
the walls of the convent to the height
of forty feet. The deep little lake be-
fore it does not melt till July and
freezes again in September, and the
snow falls almost every day in the
year.
Not tree is to be seen, but only
patches OF moss, grass, and bright,
hardy little flowers. The kind monks
are cheered in their lonely life by the
thought of doing good.-Nurserg.

Of doing business. Buyers and stock.
holders also have their own peculiar
ways. and these ways sometimes clash.
A New Yorker was seated in an office
in Gunnison City one day not long ago,
when a grizzly-looking old chap en-
tered and asked if that was the place
where they sold shares of the White
Horse Silver Mine. Being assured he
was in the Office of the company, he
observed:

"Phew! She must be just old rich

''Pass out the cashr' said the old
man, as he rested the end of his shooter
on the edge of the counter.
The company had left his revolver in
his overcoat outside, and he didn't be-

Anti.Flannel.

A BosToN physician. for. whose age,

Globe vouches. argues to a reporter Of
that journal against the popular custom
of wearing flannels in cold weather
Here is a bit of his experience: ''Some

the house. The conclusion was forced
upon me that must leave this New
England climate for some other
less trying to my system and
especially to my lungs. l found
by careful observation of the ten
denotes in my case that there was an
over-sensitivenesss in the outer skin
from the depressing and overheating
properties in the flannel worn, while
the mucous membranes, or internal
skins, were also affected, evidently by
the driving back and inward from the
surface much that should escape from
the system through external channels.
The greatest medical observer of the
nineteenth century lays stress upon the
necessity OF removing flannel from the
skin and substituting cotton and linen
during the treatment of many chronic
diseases. Applying this test to myself.
1 resolved to try the experiment OF a
change of clothing instead of climate.
In doing so l regained my lost vitality
and have now capacity OF endurance
and contempt for exposure few can
boast of. 1t convinced me of the
absolute correctness of the theory and
practice have ever since adopted, and
most successfully, especially among
children. and making no exceptions with
adults, young and old, male and female
which is, that non conductors of heat,
of which flannel is the most common
and popular type, should not be per-
mitted to overdo their work through
excess of enervation or depression, and
thus prevent a healthy and natural
action of the skin. This is too often
the case where fiannels are worn in
accordance with the prevailing Gus

Love and Politics.

Not far from Lackawaxen, Pike Coun-
ty, Pa, is the home of two young Ia
dies, sisters, aged respectively eighteen
and twenty years. They were each re-
ceiving the addresses of lovers, vino
were brothers. and both couple were
engaged to be married. Itwas their in.
tention to celebrate a double wedding
about the holidays, but now matters
have changed. A few days ago the four
were sitting together in the parlor at
the girls home when the elder lady ex-
pressed desire TO attend political
meeting then being held in a nearby
village. She asked her lover to accom-
pany her. but he refused point blank,
giving as his reason that he was not
Democrat. The young lady insisted,
but still he refused. Finally she turned
to his brother, who. it seems, was q
Democrat, and asked him to accompany
her. To the surprise of all he at once
consented and they went to the meet
ing. The two who remained at home
were quite indignant, the one at the
conduct of her lover, the other at the
way his sweetheart had acted. The
more they discussed it the angrier they
became. They discovered that they
the ones at hOme-were both Repub-
licans, while the two who had gone
were of Democratic proclivities. They
talked on, discovering little by little
similarities of tastes and habits, and
finally resolved each to break with the
old love and form a new alliance. No
sooner resolved than the compact was
ratified by kiss, when by chance the
others entered. The gentleman told
his brother at once what they had de-
cided to do. To his great surprise no
sorrow was shown, no anger manifest
ed, and his wonder was increased when
he was informed that the other couple,
while on their walk home, had resolved
to do just the same thing. The hug
ging, therefore, now goes on as usual,
and the weddings will take place about
New Years. -C6r NJ n 1tfiesi

before, and they all wondered how
Hetty dared to do it. - F

DeIOI0, ana Choy all wondered now
Hetty dared to do it. - f
After dinner, when the grown folks
had gone off into the parlor, the little
RaymOnds and the five cousins had the
kitchen all to themselves, and they
popped corn and roasted chestnuts, and
played all sorts of games until nine
O'Clock. and then they had to go to
bed. There were SO many of them that
with Hetty, and they talked and gig
gled and told each other stories till
they were too sleepy for anything, and
then just as they were almost asleep
Hetty rolled out of bed, and that made
more fun, and-it was nearly midnight
before they went to sleep in good ear
nest. .'1.ss1s-, s5ss.st
But the strangest part of this story is
yet to come. When Hetty went to
church the Sunday after Christmas, she
saw old Father Goodwin. as he was
called, come into church with scarf and
mittens on that were exactly like the
ones she made for Santa Claus. Father
Goodwin was a very good man, but
very poor. He lived alone, and did
not always have clothes enough to keep
him warm, or food enough to keep him
from being hungry. Mrs. Raymond
always sent him Christmas dinner,
and sometimes pair of warm stock
ings, or coat that Mr.. Raymond had
done wearing. Hettv wondered who
could have made just such a present
for Father Goodwin as she had made
for Santa Claus, but she said nothing,
only pondered on it the rest of the day.
A few days after this, Father Goodwin
called to see Mr.. Raymond about
something, and as he sat by the fire
Hetty came to his side, and timidly asked
him where he got such a warm scarf and
mittens. ~ -
''They were a Christmas present, my
DEAR" answered the old man, kindly,
land I am not at liberty to tell where
they came from; but don't know what
I should do this cold weather with
out them, and I bless the dear hand
that knit them, and the kind heart that
thought of giving them to an old man
like me-"
Hetty didn't ask any more questions,
but all the winter whenever she saw
Father Goodwin with his scarf and nit
tens she had the queerest little sus-
picions in her bewildered head; and
one day her mother caught her burning
up Santa Claus letter, and it was pri-
vately whispered among the older men,
bers of the family that Hetty's conf
dence in Santa Claus seemed to be
somewhat shaken. When next Christ
mas approached, Hetty did not men,
ton his name, but she did ask her
mother to let her give Emma Watkins
warm new cloak, instead of having any
presents herself Emma's mother was
widow, and SO very poor that she
could not dress Emma warmly enough
SO that she could attend church and
Sabbath-school in cold weather. Mrs.
Raymond was very willing that Hetty
should deny herself and do good to
others, and readily consented to the
plan. So. although Hetty's idea was
the means of her losing faith in Santa
Claus, it was also the means of her be-
coming blessing to the poor, and
great comfort to her parents.-Mrs.

Furs.

Seal-skin remains the favorite fur for
sacks and cloaks, and squirrel-skins for
lining, but aside from these there is
nothing absolutely decreed by fashion,
and it depends entirely upon individual
taste and style whether the black fox,
beaver, chinchilla, spotted leopard, or
tiger-cat shall be chosen for the fur set
or for the trimmings of dresses or
cloaks. Experience proves, however,
that the beautiful chinchilla in its light
gray shades is more becoming to
blondes than brunettes, while seal-skin
softens all complexions; that the rich
black fox fur cannot be well worn by
very small ladies, or by those with q
short neck, as its long thick fleece is
too heavy, and gives full high-should.
cred effect, but that it is the stylish
choice for tall and stately figures; also
that the tiger and leopard skins look
best with brown costumes, and are es.
Pecially suitable for very young ladies.
Many of these fanciful furs are colored
to prefer these to those of natural hues.
This coloring is SO skillfully done that
the furs do not crock, or at most rub
off but slightly. and these stylish-colored
furs are bought by people of wealth
who can CRAFTY every wish. Indeed,
so popular are they that they replace
the most valuable sables, which are now
left in the furriers' care for safe-keeping
all winter as well as in the summer.
Nevertheless fine sables still hold their
own in price, costing as much money as
before they were laid aside for fancy
furs. In regard to the care of furs.
dealers say they must be kept in a cool
dry place. and must not be dried by
artificial heat after having been exposed
to rain or snow. This is especially
true of seal-skin, which has its fine pile
flattened, marked and matted when
dried by fire or by furnace heat; il
should, instead, be exposed to the air
of cold room, and should be we'll
spread out when drying. The seal fur
Is less liable to be eaten by moth than
many other furs, and has been spared
by them when sables in the same cam
phor chest were ruined. Camphor is
most generally commended as q pre-
servative against moths, and to this
many ladies prefer to add pepper,
finally wrapping the garment hermeti-
cally in paper or in linen. The gum
camphor should be wrapped in tissue
paper, and stuck about in various places
in the box, and not allowed to come in
contact with the seal-skin, as there is
danger Of fading il. Perhaps the most
important thing of all Is that the fur
should not be worn too late in the
spring, and that it should be well beaten
by rods. and thus thoroughly cleansed,
bpfore il Il put away for the summer,=-

Congressman Daggett's Boomerang.

When Congressman Daggett first
went to Washington, two years ago, he
was charged sixteen dollars and fifty
cents for extra baggage at Omaha.
This angered the Congressman SO that
he vowed to make life a burden for
every official on the Union Pacific and
Central Pacific Railroads. When he
got to Washington he began to ship
tons and tons of Congressional Records,
which the Union Pacific and Central
Pacific Railroads are obliged to carry
free of charge, according to a stipula-
ton with Uncle Sam, made when he
granted them so much of his broad
public domain. Daggett shipped boxes
of these documents over the road, ad-
dressed to himself and accompanied by
his big frank and the words "Con-
gressiOnal documents, free" During
the first session he sent seventeen tons
of this class of matter over the road,
and as soon rs he reached home he sent
it back again. Daggett's big boxes OF
Pub. Docs" soon became notorious,
and the face and figure of the Congress
man were also pretty well known.
Wherever he stopped he was sure to
ask some of the freight agents if they
had seen any of "my free freight
lately" He always made himself
known and was sure to add, " You must
handle those boxes gently; they con-
tain the speeches of some of the great
est men of the Nation. If you damage
any of them I'll sue the road for the
full value" On election day the boys
got their revenge, and every mothers
son of them voted and worked against
Daggett. Those who ran on the Utah
Division located their voting places in
Nevada in time to get their work in on
election day and they raked Daggett
fore and aft from sunrise to sundown.
When it was known that he was de-
feated nearly every freight and baggage
man on the line got drunk. and for a
couple of days the road was utterly de-
moralized.-Cdrson (Ner.) appeal.
