Most comforting of all to the lonely
pic ket, the dog is said to be especi-
ally courageous in defending his
master. 1t is curious that, with the
example Of the King Charles spaniels
before us, n n thought before Of
using these intelligent animals as
sentinels. The value of the plan is
self-evident. The Muscovites have
gone further, and are training swift
hounds, as well as these same Ural
dogs, to act as dispatch bearers,
much as the carrier pigeons were
employed in 1871. They certainly
would be hard messengers to catch,
when sent stealing through the
woods at night.

That "woman's wit is often SUI

coDvincingly proved in a circum.

Gently. 1t appears that Mr.. Lud-
wig Schwarzler, "a widely known
Grocer on Station Road, suffered
with a very painful rheumatic
headache to such a degree, that ne
was obliged to seek the aid Of a
physician. All medicines he used
were Of no avail. This induced
Mrs. Sch warbler to buy st. Jacobs
Oil. She procured a bottle for her
husband. With the second appli.
cation he found relief. The pain
left him, and he is as well as ever
again. A remedy acting rs prompt
ly as this certainly deserves uni

PAPER Stoves and Blankets

Perhaps the most remarkable OBJ
ject ever fashioned from paper was a
~fire-stove with a cheerful fire burn
ing in it. We have from time to
time noted the announcements Of
newly-invented railway carriages
and carriage wheels, chimney-pOts,
flour barrels, cottage walls, roofing
tiles, and bricks and tiles for stamp
ing, all made of paper. A material
capable of SO many uses, so diversi-
fed in character, is obviously des-
tined to play a very important part
in our manufacturing future. Arti-
cles of this kind which have just
now perhaps the greatest interest,
and which are among the latest nov
elites in this way are paper blankets.
Attention has frequently been called
to the value of ordinary sheets of
paper as a substitute for b~edclothes,
or, at least, as an addition to bed
clothes. The idea seems to have
suggested the fabrication of blank
cts from this cheap material. The
fact that they are not as durable as
the genuine article is in their favor,
as, in the case of the very poor,
where the same bedding is used for
years, a very cheap material that
will last only a comparatively short
time must be better than durable
articles that are rarely or never
washed.

The Russians have strengthened
their army by the novel addition to
each company of a pack of powerful
and carefully trained dogs. These
watchful animals are sent out with
the sentinels on picket duty, where
their sharp ears and still sharper
scent will prove an impregnable bar
rier to the spies Of the enemy. The
dogs used are a species of blood
hound from the Ural mountains.
The dog is selected because of its
habitual silence. 1t growls but never

ance to soldiers near an enemy's
camp. The Ural hound is gifted
with an exceedingly fine sense of
smell, keen ears, and ever alert.

The story of the man who having
stolen a goose from his pastor and
afterwards made admission of the
theft to the owner in the confess
sional, offering him the property as
a present, is tolerably thread bare,
but an almost parallel case occurred
a few days ago in Upper Marlbo-
rough, Prince Georges county, Md.
A colored man, a member Of Rev. D..
De Wulf's congregation, called at
the parsonage and asked the priest
if he would accept a pair of chickens
as a Christmas present. The good
man, never doubling that his par
ishioner had obtained them honest
ly, accepted the gift, but was aston
ished a short while afterwards to
find that The chickens had been
stolen from himself. Another story
is current in the same neighborhood
of a colored man who stole and dis
posed of a pair of chickens four
times in one day, and finally made
restitution to the original owner of
the birds, after realizing a dollar and
a half in cash, two square meals, and
half a dozen drinks of whiskey
through the operation.

tablish a paper in New York called
the The0crdt, which was to overturn
all religions, all churches, and, it
may be, all governments. Then he

much. He was a man prone to all
those great and daring undertakings
that are so fascinating to those who
possess the profound love of notori-
ETY. which distinguishes SO lamenta-
bly, this prisoner. He is no longer a
fool, an imbecile. But on tie other
hand, gentlemen of the jury, he is a
man of most depraved moral nature,
it is true; but in respect of his in
telligence, it cannot be doubted that
he is a man of uncommon ability.
Nor can it be doubted that he pos
sesses the nerve and resolution to
execute as well as the mind to con-
ceive. If / were to sum up the moral
and intellectual qualities of this
man, l would say that he had the
daring eye of the vulture combined

A Famous Nj

Vandille, a remarkable French
miser, was at one time mayor of
Boulogne, land while in that position
partly maintained himself by being
milk-taster-general at the market;
while munching a scrap of bread he
would partake of frequent gratuitous
draughts. He always travelled to
Paris on foot, and, fearful lest he
should be robbed, took good care to
never have more than three-pence in
his pocket; if he needed more money
he begged on the road. by such
methods, and lending money to the
French government, he made a for
tune of gS50, 000.
During the very cold winter of
1884 he found it necessary to pur-
chase some extra fuel, and endeav-
ored to beat down the wood mer-
chant in his price. The man drove
off, and Vandille stole u few logs
from the back of the cart. In hast
ening away with them, he became
over-heated and contracted a very
bad fever. He sent for the surgeon
telling him he wanted to be bled. AS
the surgeon charged half a livre,
which he though too much, Fous, a
barber was called in, who agreed to
open a vein for three-pence. But,
friend" said the cautious miser,
show often will it be required to
bleed me ?" Three times" re-
piled the barber. Three times.
And pray, what quantity of blood do
you intend to take from me at each
operation 2" about eight ounces
each time" THAT will be nine
pence; too much : too much (! |
know a cheaper way; take the whole
twenty-four ounces at once, and
that will save me sixpence !" He
saved his six-pence, but lost his life.

the first twenty days fed them on
shelled corn, of which they ate SO
bushels. During this period they
gained 837 pounds, or upwards of ten
pounds to the bushel of corn. He
then fed the same hogs for fourteen
days on dry corr meal, during which
time they consumed AZ bushels and
gained $50 pounds, or ia pounds to
the bushel. These hogs, next fed
fourteen days on corn meal and
water mixed, consumed 554 bushels
of corn and gained 731 pounds, or
1871 pounds of pork to the bushel. He
then fed them fourteen days on corn
meal cooked, and after consuming
forty-five bushels of the cooked meal
the hogs gained 799 pounds, or very
nearly 10 pounds OF pork to the
