Of the hairless Mexican dog, which is the
shepherd dog of that country, the Texas
S;Jnngs has this to say
The Mexicans call him pelon, the Ameri-
cans refer to him as the no-halr dog, while
the stranger from the north who sees him
for the first time calls him . cast-iron dog,
for that is what be looks like at the first
glance. Although not particularly intelli-
gent, the no hair dog is susceptible of q
high polish, for his hairless hide shines in
the sun as if it had recently been touched
up with stove-polish. His body is about
the size and something of the shape of a
watermelon-that is of one Of those small
watermelons that are about the size of a
pelon dog. He differs, however, from the
melon in that his tail is adorned with a tuft
Of blonde hair, which is never the case with
a watermelon. He wears a tuft of hair
another tuft of course, not the same one at
at all-on his head, which gives him a very
striking appearance. The pelon dog may
be found in Austin, in San Antonio and in
tamales, the latter being a Mexican dish,
the ingredients of which are as uncertain
as those of hash.

4 Sod Fence.

A popular actor who makes his home in
the sunny South, not long since fenced hrs
orange grove plantations in a novel and
effective wayr He began by erecting, fer
each side Of his fence, sods three feet in
width, divided into five layers, at an angle OF
seventy five degrees. The soil from beneath
the sod exactly fills the place between the
erected sods, leaving a three foot ditch on
either side. On the top of this soil and sod
fence, which is four and a half feet at the
base and three feet high, he planted cuttings
of the Mccartney rose, which are protected
by a panel of boards. The fence, while
within the reach of any nan who will shout
der his spade and work, possesses the ad-
vantage of an impossible barrier, of perma-
hence, of, drainage, of not needing repairs,
and of being a most beautiful ornament.

Newspapers as Feet Wraps.

Complaining of the misery of a long jour
ney the other day to an old friend, without
any foot-warmers in the carriage, and the
consequent pain of cold feet, she told me
that she had q practical lesson given her by
q w%ell-known Tunes correspondent on that
very matter. They were making q long
journey together in bitter weather, and
could get NJ hot water tins put in their cars
riage. Ho at once told her not to regret the
deficiency. for his newspaper would more
than compensate for it. SO he took of her
boots. and tearing his paper into halves,
wrapped each foot carefully up In it. In a
few moments circulation seemed to return to
her benumbcd feet, and she assured me that
ehc arrived at the end Of her journey in per-
feet comfort, and with warm feet. Such q
lesson was not to be lost, and my friend told
mo that she had resnrted tn the same expo
dient several times with like results. &C.

Musical Fish.

That some fish make an approach to vocal
performances. emitting tones, was known to
Aristotle, who specifies six different kinds.
The family of ''Maigres" are famous for the
sounds they make On being drawn from the
water, and also when remaining in it. These
fish are remarkable for the size and compli-
Gated structure of their air bladders, which,
however, in many cases seem to have no ex-
ternal openings, and great cavernous recess
es existing in the crama of many. It hae
been suggested that these abuses may afford
the true explanation of the phenomena. In
some of the genera they are more striking
than in others; and one of the most remark
able, the ''Pagonia," had acquired the popu-
lar name of drum fish. The sounds seem to
vary widely in their character and tones,..and
are described in very different, not to say
important, terms, being designated some
times as dull cummings, and at other times
sharp whistlings, and frequently as the ish's
song. 1t has sometimes been supposed that
they are uttered by the males alone, and the
fisherman by initiating them can frequently
collect a. troop Of fishes around them. The
boatman, also, by putting their ears to the
gunwale of their boats, can often readily
hear the sounds, though at the depth Of
twenty fathoms, and thus guided can success
fully cast their nets and procure a draught.

Though that is not SO very new,
Or THE the boys all think so good:
eff you love me as / love you"
But-seems to me-a valentine
Is nicer when you do not say
The same old things that every one
Keeps saying, in the same old way.
And I asked Jane, the other night,
What grown-up people write about;
She would lot answer me at first,
But laughed till / began to pout.
That stopped her, for she saw I meant
The question land she will not teasel,
'Why-love." she said, and shining eyes,
A kiss, soft hair-just what they please"
1t can't be hard. If that is all,
SO III begin by saying this:
''To my dear lady beautiful,
Is-nd q valentine aud kiss,
The valentine, because she has
The loveliest hair and gentlest eyes;
The kiss, because / love her more
Thar any one beneath the skies;
Because she ia the kindest, best,
The sweetest lady ever known;
And every year I'll say the same,
The very same, to her alonen
There! Now it's finished. Who will do
I've thought of one and then another.
Wto is there like it? Why, of course,
I'll send it right away to mother!

count for the fact by the same reason have
given for the extra warmth of loose ciothing
generally. The boots fit tightly, possibly.
and prevent free circulation of warm air
outside, and perhaps compress the c%lrclla-
ton of the blood inside the foot. When
these are removed the paper prevents evap-
Grafton of any animal heat that is generated
and allows the foot to be surrounded, as it
were, with a bath of hot air.

Had | been laid down here without know
ing where I was it would have been impossl-
BILE to have located any Of the old places. The
forests have disappeared and fields and pas
lures have taken their place. The roads
have changed all or nearly all of the old
landmarks are gone new homes and new
faces appear, and but few Of the old people
are left. This is now q farming community,
hogs and corn and q few cattle fattening.
They nave q ready market, railroads on all
sides-branches of the Illinois Central, Mil
waukee s. St. Paul--run through the country
feeding the great lines. Mining is o q
secondary interest, galena ore selling for $27
per ton and very little being raised to the
surface. 1t is all hog, hog This would be
q good country for you to live in, you like a
hog SO well. I expect you will say ''over the
left" Corn is selling at fifty cents a bushel
and scarce at that, the heavy rains at the
wrong time of the year damaging the crop.
1t is lucky you do not have to eat the ''sog-
gy" potatoes we have. I don't know as the
people even imagine what a Montana pota-
to is. Many OF the farmers here are rich;
and boys whom I knew are heads Of fami-
lies now, and have really handsomely fur
nished houses and many Of the luxuries of
life that can not be obtained without plenty
of money.
| have been asked a great many questions
regarding the agricultural resources of Mon
tana. Many people have gone from this sec
ton to Leadville, that being the nearest
point by rail. Everybody travels by rail
here, and the idea Of skipping across tue

A Brilliant shine.

The electric light ofsol Coleman, on
Main street near Monroe, last night,
was beautiful aud attractive. Many
complimentary expressions were pass
ed by the patrons Of Coleman upon
the brilliant illumination. The light
cast its brightness over the pictures
and other scenic feature of the store
in a manner which caused many to say
that Coleman's goods had been mr.
ranged by some stage managing artist.
Indeed, Mr.. Coleman is himself an
artist Of culture and taste, and he gave
ample evidence Of it in this particular
instance. The same exhibition will
be repeated this evening and each
evening until further notice.

Nashville World of "Wednesday.

Nashville World of Wednesday.
An immense throng of people.
numbering nearly two thousand, as.
sembled on the north side Of the
courthouse last evening to witness the
dress parade of the Porter Rifles. The
electric light shed its brilliancy over
the scene, making all as bright as
MONDAY.
Among those present were General
A. Q. Buell., of Kentucky; General
Carnahan and Colonel House, of In
diana.
The ladies were out en- masse, and
were as enthusiastic and vocifer-
GUS in their hearty plaudits at the
good hits the Porters made as was the
sterner sex.
The boys we're in their happiest
mood, and their brand new uniforms
set them off to much advantage.
Their execution of the drill and
manual appeared so perfect that it did
not seem susceptible Of improvement.
Captain Reyer had his company well
in hand, and it is probably due in a
great measure to his excellence as a
commanding officer that the Porters
have attained the high standard they
hold. One OF the features of last
nights drill was the presence of little
Sam Davis, rugged out in full uniform
a miniature duplicate Of the others,
helmet, plume and all.
