A Dogs Clever Work Every Morning.

The William Penn stables, on Filbert
street, below Ninth. are overrun with
rats, and in order to put curve on the
ever hungry rodents, several dogs are
kept about the stables. OF these canine
members of the establishment the
favorite among the men and boys EN-
plOyed there is little tan and white
Scotch terrier called Kate, be onging
to Mr.. Thomas Cannon. United States
mail contractor, who keeps his horses
and wagons at the stables. Kate is six
years old, and every week puts an end
to several times her weight in rats, per-
forming the work with vim and gusto
which proves that she considers it a
happy combination of business and
pleasure. On the second floor of the
stables in feed-box, emptied for the
purpose, Kate keeps and watches with
motherly care over an interesting
family of i've young puppies. Every
morning about seven o'clock milk
man stops at the stable entrance. and
Kate, who is on the lookout for his
coming, scampers up stairs, reappear-
ing with little tin can, which she
places at his feet, and, on its being
filled, carefully carries it back to her
tlourishing family and gives the young
sters their breakfast. philadelphia Rec

THE MILLIONAIRE'S DAUGHTER.

wv" ttht q SiIl pCSoIliCo tlh az
tual belle. Ella Lowe was actually a
belle. She was very handsome. and
the only child of millionaire. She
dressed perfectly, and had every posi-
BILE accomplishment. When she entered
room she somehow threw all the other
girls into shadow. A crowd gathered
about her chair, and recognized beauties
pouted in indignation at their neglect.
Whether she would have been so much
admired had she not been an heiress, it
would have been hard to say; but she
had had, on an average twenty offers of
marriage since she "came out" and
had not yet accepted any one as her
chosen husband, though she was three
and-twenty. Perhaps the pleasure she
took in her bellehood was too great.
At last, however, almost on her
twenty-fourth birthday, she met Mr..
Evan Plantaganet, young exquisite of
the aesthetic type, and urged on by his
mother and all his many sisters, engaged
herself to him with her fathers consent.
When she did this, one young heart
ached sorelv-that of her far away
cousin, Roderick Blair, a physician new
fledged, who lived with his mother in a
pretty country town on the Hudson. He
paled and moped, and his mother knew
we'll what troubled him.
''Why did you never speak to Ella?"
she said. 'How do you know she
could not have liked you?''
"She was too rich, mother" said
Roderick. gloomily. Il could not seem
to be fortune hunter. I would not
owe so much to wife,"
mot if she loved your" asked the
mother.
But the son would have no more talk
about the matter. The girl never could
have been his. He himself did not I'M
derstand why he should feel more un-
happy than before. Perhaps it was be-
cause. as his mother said, he did not
know but that she might have liked
him.
And Mr.. Evan Plantaganet exhibited
his prize in public, and his mother and
sisters boasted of his engagement to
1.-the daughter of Mr.. Lowe, the we'll
known millionaire"
Suddenly there came crash: a start
ling piece of news petritied the fashion
able world. 1t was uttered by everv
tongue, and published in every paper.
The millionaire Lowe had embarked
in speculation, and his millions were
gone.
The great house was closed. Mr..
Lowe and his daughter went to . live on
an upper floor, in a plain street, and
the mother of Evan Plantaganet de-
clared herself shocked at the old mans
deception. In fact. the young man
himself was Mortified at the situation of
his prospective father-in-law, and hav-
ing drawled out sundry reproaches, was
offered his freedom, which he took at
once.
Ella was free. and poor, Roderick
Blair. in his country home, heard the
news. A few hours afterward he was
at Mr.. loves door.
He found Ella as bright as ever: in
fact, she had long since grown weary of
Plantaganet and his alterations. She
wore pretty dress and smiled and chat
ted gayIy. The humble rooms were
pleasant and well-arraneed Never had
Roderick passed pleasanter evening.
He returned home full of hope and hap
pinesS.
But though he felt himself honored by

About BarOmeterS.

According to Prof. Joule, the usual
method of constructing barometers is
faulty, and his experiments prove that
it is possible to use sulphuric acid on
the top of the mercural column without
chemical action taking place. He was.
therefore, led to prepare variety of
tubes, with view to obtain the one
best adapted, all things considered, the
result being tube which possesses the
following advantages: First, there is
the utmost facility in the movement of
the column, so that the most minute
changes of pressure are at once regis
tered without any dragging; and, sec
ond, the depression produced by capil-
larry action is reduced to one-half; so
that the siphon arrangement can be sat
isfactorily used as affording an accurate
naturalization of capillary action.
DIR. David Parsons, the old-time
pastor of the church in Amherst, was
noted for his eccentricities, and, among
other vagaries, used to have a plate set
at his table for favorite cat One day,
while asking blessing at the morning
meal, he was taken with a fit of cough
ing, and before the paroxysm was over
the cat mewed. AS soon as the par
son could speak he turned to the cat
and exclaimed: shut up! l can get
along without your help'' and then
struck in where he had left off and fin
ished the blessing.
