Space

Space is very large. It is immense,
very immense. A great deal of i'm
mensity exists in space. Space has no
top, no bottom. In fact, it is bottom
less both at the bottom and at the top.
Space extends as far forward as it does
backward, vice versa or versa vice.
There is no compass Of space, nor points
of the compass, and no boxir< of the
compass. A billion million OF miles
travelled in space won't bring man any
nearer to the end than one mile or one
inch. Consequently, in space it's bet
ter to stay where you are, and let well
enough alone.-Gra after Proc
tor.

AS GIRLS advance toward womanhood
many of their notions undergoa change.
For instance: when small, they believe
in the man in the moon; at maturer
years they believe in the man in the
honeymoon.

Fight Between Dog and Donkey.

CIsnt OetWeen LOG anu . UOnkeys
A singular encounter between a dog
and donkey was that which occurred in
Blackpoo1, England. A retired gentle
man, named Wellington, owned fine
young donkey and splendid mastif.
One sunny day the donkey was grazing
in field, when the dog rushed at it in
a ferocious manner and fastened on to
it's nose. The donkey did not decline
the challenge, for it at once shook the
dog off, bit it about the head and
shoulders, tr2mpled on it, and tossed it
about. The dog again seized the
donkey, and q crowd soon gathered,
but all efforts to sepaI ste the combat
ants were of no avail. The dog repeat
eddy fastened on the donkey's nose.
Blood flowed profusely from both ami
mails, and at the end of half an hour the
owner appeared upon the scene and
fresh attempts were made to part them,
but without success. After the fight
had lasted half an hour, the owner de-
cided to have the dog shot, as it had by
that time fastened with firm hold on
the donkey's nose. A gun was pro-
cured and the services of good shot
obtained. But SO savage was the fight
that it was difficult to shoot one animal
without killing the other also. At last
aim was taken, and bullet put into
the dogs head, and it dropped to the
ground. When the smoke cleared
away the dog was dead, but the infuriat.
ed donkey had returned to the charge
kicking, biting and tramping on the
dead dog. It was with great difficulty
the donkey was at last driven off.
