A Strange But True Story.

W. S. Buckner, of Cane Ridge. re-
lated the following dog story in our
Office on Saturday and proved it by
Archie Bedford. one of his near neigh
bors: Some time ago he was awakened
by an unearthly noise among the dogs
on his porch. As viewed through the
window in the darkness. he saw what
he supposed to be a huge panther or
tiger making away with his dogs. His
wife prevailed upon him not to shoot
through the window, and. as he was
afraid to go out, he retired until day
light. On getting up in the morning
he discovered the grass and dirt torn
up and his plum trees barked and
scratched, giving evideace of terrible
tight of wild beast with his dogs. On
going to his kennel he found his favorite
hound slut, Lucy, writhing in the
agonies of death, and her nine puppies
all dead, their heads mashed and their
feet and tails bitten off and carried
away. Securing the services of Archie
Bed ord. both started through the coun-
try heavily armed in search of the
strange animal. Arriving at his brother
" alter Buckner's, they found that the
strange animal had killed twelve pup
pies tnere-having mashed their heads,
bitten off their feet and tails. and car
ried them away. Pursuing the trail
over to Walker Shaw's they found that
the strange animal had visited his ken
mel, and had bitten six or seven dogs,
and had met its death by MIR. Shaw
shotgun. 1t was pointed out to thsm
by Mr.. shaw, and was found to be John
Skillman's big speckled pointer dog.
A poSt-mortem examination was held
by some boys who were curious t, know
what became of the feet and tails of the
twenty-one puppies that were carried
off, and behold. they were all found in
the stomach of the dog. BY permission
of Mr.. shaw, NJ. Buckner sEot all OF
his dogs which had been bitten. and the
spread of hydrophobia was nipped in
that neighborhood -Brookiyn (Hy.)

How to Tan Sheepskins.

Where farmers kill but q few sheep

cold wash the skins in it. carefully
squeezing them between the hands to
get the dirt out of the wool, then wash
the soap out with clear. cold water.
Then dissolve alum and salt. each q
half pound, with little hot water suffi-
Gent to cover the skins and then let
them soak in it over night for twelve
hours, then hang over Il pail to drain
When they are well drained spread or
street carefully over board to dry.
When little damp have one ounce
ca h of saltpeter and a,um pu:verized
and sprinkle on the flesh side of each
skin, rubbing in well, then lay the flesh
sides together ana hang in the shade for
two Or three days, turn NO the under
kin uppermo>t' every day until per-
fectly dry. then scrape the flesh side
with blunt knife to remove any re-
naming scraps of flesh. Trim of pro-
jecting points: rub the flesh side with
the hands. They will be very white and
handsome, suitable for door or car

A Microscopic Terrier.

Tempted by the report that the small.
est game dog in the world would be
shown at the meeting of the Dog Club
on Friday night last, the room was filled
before eight clock by the admirers OF
mans faithful friend. President Brown
was the last to arrive, and he excused
himself by saving that he had been de-
tanned to poultice the end of his dogs
tail. which was caught in door and
violently amputated. The club voted
thanks to Mr.. Brown and then asked
him if he had brought the smallest dog.
which he had advertised to do. There
was no sign of a dog around and the
club looked disappointed.
The old man allowed the club to
grumble little and then pulled out Of
his vest pocket Scotch terrier weigh
ing about three pounds when in good
condition. The little dog jumped to
the floor and tried to roll cigar butt
that Pete had thrown down. Then he
hid in the shadow of chair rung. and
all thought that he must have fallen
through q crack in the floor.
But that dog was very wide awake.
He saw a rat hole where the bar and
floor met and he was awaiting develop
ments. The club kept still. Soon a
rat stuck his nose out of the hole to see
what made the Dog Club so quiet.
That look was his last. Something
grabbed hi1n-what it was or where it
snatched him he never knew-then all
became dark, and seven young rats lest
a devoted father.
We'll DONE" cried President Brown,
carried away by the excitement.
Yes" said Pete. in a tone of faint
praise, ''but he 5 not so quick as / ex-
pected. My terrier could have dis
patched that rat in half that time"
Your terrier don't know rat when
he sees one" exclaimed Reddy-
Ill bet you he knows even the
names of everything he sees" said Pete,
excitedly.
Pete was evidently wild at the insinu-
alton cast upon his dog, and six MEM
bers of the club meanly took advantage
of his state to take his bet
When quiet was restored Pete turned
to old man Brown, who was an amused
listener, and said:
Brown. you can decide this bet, as
you know my dog"
yes" said the president. slowly.
you've lost your money. boys; Pete's
terrier is stone blind.n
While the victims were paying over
their money President Brown gave the
history of the little dog. He is the
property of Dog Fancier Foster. who
bought him for 300 from Highland
laddie. and he beat all records in Scot
land before he left his native heath to
become resident of South Fifth avenue,

ing throughthe bazaar, shouldering every.
body out of the way. Suddenly she
caught sight Of basket of green which
woman was peddling on the roadway.
Without saving by your leave" the
cow stopped. and critically turning over
the greens selected a young and tooth
some cauliiower The poor woman
feebly battled with the marauder, but the
COW took no notice and did not bulge
till it had its caulifiower. when it re-
sumed its morning stroll through the
bazar. The COW. it Is web known, is

As for the temples themselves, they are,
more especially to the traveller fresh
from the gorgeous fanes of Japan, in
all ways despieable. At best, they are
so crowded in among other buildings
that any architectural beauty they might
possess is lost to view. In order to see
