The three Esquimau dogs brought
here on the Bear Csays the New York
lSlu) have been put into & Brooklyn
ice house to keep them away from
the heat But the two Newfound-
land dogs, which also came from
Geld climate, were left on board the
Bear 10 shift for themselves. This
discrimination, apparently, hurt the
feelings Of these dogs. They had
no one to fight with, and had to keep
cool as best they could. They swan
around in the water about half the
time, and then lay painting in the
hold. But wherever they went they
found It hot, and their tongues were
lolling from their mouths all the
fine.
One OF the Newfoundlands was
very big dog, with long, curly, black
hair, and an immense bushy tail.
The other Is smaller and doesn't ap-
pear to be fun grown. The little
one has kept his spirits uppretty well
and occasionally amuses the boys by
Jumping in after the sticks which
they throw into the water. But, for
the last few days, the big one, whose
name was Prince, had been very low
spirited, and had moped below deck
an the time. He had not been seen
for some time yesterday, when sud-
denly he rushed upon deck, ran to
the side Of the ship and jumped
overheard. The sailors looked over
the railing, expecting to see him
swimming around to cool of, but, as
they say, he did nothing Of the kind.
He stretched out his legs, let his
head sink under water, and made no
effort to keep from drowning. He
quickly sank and was carried away
by the tide before the men who went
10 his assistance were able to save
him. Every one who saw the act
said It was q clear case OF suicide,
and the sailors who saw Ensign Har-
lows Esqulmau dogs jump over
board in just the same way, atPorts-
mouth, are convinced that in both
cases the self-destructlon was inten-
tlonal

TFrom the sanFrancisco News Letter.l
Anglomania has got to such pitch
among high-toned people that bu-
reaus are now called "chests of
drawers" a PAnglaise. A second
hand furniture dealer on Market
street thought he'd fail in with the
times, and, for a bit Of an advertis-
ing dodge to draw attention to his
place, he put rather artiquated
looking bureau ont on the sidewalk
in front Of his store, and stuck pla-
card on it with big letters as follows:
"For sale--A chest Of drawers, for
merly belonging TO Mrs. Langtry."
But he did not keep It there long.
He got tired explaining what it
meant to the dudes who came pant
ing up to say they'd take one pair.

A Threatened Revolution in Printing.
The nlon Citizen is now printed by
electrical power, and the types from
which 1t is printed are set by a new
machine, invented by John L. Nc
MILAN, Of Cambridge New York. A
description of this piece Of mochan-
ism is given by that paper. A sim
pie method Is divised whereby the
the letters follow direct and uninter-
rupted courses in all their move
ments. Two operators are required,
one to manipulate the keyboard and
one to space out, while the distrib-
utOr requires about one-half the
time Uf an attendant to feed the lines
to 1t. The capacity Of the machine
Is 5000 ems per hour, and no power
other than the lingering is required.
The distributor is automatic in its
distribution of letters, and has a ca
pacity equal to the setting machine.
The face OF the type is not touched
in Its passage through either ma
chine. The Citizen boasts that 1t Is
the first journal 10 be printed by such
power and processes.

A Story of Irving.

Many years ago-in fact. back in the
thirties-Dr. Grant, of Enfield, whose
reputation as u physician in Connecti-
cut, is still in memory of the first rank
after years of retirement from prac-
tice, was travelling in Georgia, his ma
tive state, going by stage from Sayan-
nah to Augusta. At u certain stopping
place 1t was found that there were more
passengers than the stage could carry,
and an extra was ordered for the ac-
commodation of five passengers. These
passengers were john Forsyth. Of
Georgia. John Branch, secretary OF the
navy, George McDuffie, of South Caro-
Ina, DR.. Grant, and an unknown gem
tleman.
The party soon became talkutive,
and by degrees all knew who each one
was, with the exception of the ono 81
lent stranger. As the stage creaEed
along, the attention of DR.. Grant, who
was lad ut that date, was attracted
by little dog following the stage,
which reminded him of the one de-
seribed by Washington Irving in ''As-
toria, which he had just been read
ing. He was laughing quietly to HIM
self, when one OF the gentlemen in
sisted that he should tell them the
cause OF his amusement, that they
might join in the fun. DR.. Grant said:
''Ihat little dog reminds me of Wash
ington lrving's dog, whose skin was so
tight that 1t drew up his hind legs"
This led to q talk about Irving, in
which all joined except the unknown
man.
O1e of the gentlemen then appealed
to him, and asked if he did not think
Irving one of the wittiest and most de-
lightful writer's. The person appealed
to replied that he could not say that he
did. The gentlemen all expressed
their ast0nishment and one of them
persisted in demanding why he did
not agree with the others in their ad-
miration of the fayorite author. ''Have
you overhead any of his works?" they
asked. Yes, was the reply. "Wel,
don't you think the Sketch Book one
of the most beautiful specimens of
English which our country has pro-
duced?" well, no" the unknown
replied; Il can't say that [ see any
thing remarkable in it. ''Well, "said
Cu0 oIHCL, tAtu you must ne w ASH
ington living himself, for no one else
could resist the humor and pathos of
his pen" The unknown colored to
the roots of his hair, but made no re-
ply, and his tormentor continued:
Come, ell us the truth, are you not
Washington Irving, himself?" The
poor man at last blushingly confessed
that he was, and then followed GEN
eral introducing, and hand shaking,
and 4 delightful and neyer-to-pe-for-
gotten stage ride.

Sudden End 20 "A long Wooinc.

A ma iority of the New Workers who
were rudely iostled and shaken by the
amateur earthquake do not regard it
in the light OF an especial blessing;
but ] know by sight two persons who
viii! ALWAYS. | trust, remember the
brief visitation and deem it the crown
inc point in their lives. About noon
Sunday | went up to High Bridge, and
at the Woodbine Hotel met q friend
whose most striking characteristic lies
in his ability to order 2 good dinner.
Our table was spread on Il cool section
of the airy yerandah. Just to our left
a short distance a young couple had
deposited themselves, They were par
TALLY hidden from the rude gaze of
pleasure seekers, and they looked q
triffe spoOney.
For nearly five years this couple had
been something of 4 social mystery to
me. At Long Branch. Coney Island,
Fort Lee, in Central Park and many
other breathing resorts | had frequent
ly met them. The lady always modest
and reserved, the gentleman at all
times dignifed, and yet a trifle anxious.
The first season told myself that the
the wedding about Thanksgiving Day,
but when the following summer came,
bringing no apparent change in the re-
latiOns Of the man and maid, l fell to
conjecturing rs to the barrier which
prevented him from making her happy
by a tender of his heart and hand.
My conjectures were numerous; but
finally, with the flight of seasons, /
rightly surmised that he was too back
ward in his courtship, and she was too
modest and plain to give him sufficient
encouragement for pop.
But the earthquake came and fixed
matters. The first vibration shook the
love-makers . trifie closer together,
ana then about the time the rumbling
was at its height the young man evil
IDENTITY concluded the end of the world
was at hand. In accents of alarm,
which sounded much like Darling,
we will die together" he caught his
frightened companion in his arms,
drew her head down to his shoulder
and kissed her shy, rosebud of q mouth
until the earthquake had passed out of
the country somewhere below Balti-
more. Realizing that the earthquake
had passed in harmless fashion, and
that he had broken the icy reserve be-
twist himself and sweetheart, he made
up for lost time by proposing on the
spot. The maid 5 answer was breathed
in tones too faint for strangers, but it
was satisfactory to the man, for he
caught her in his arms again and held
her in q manner which set all earth
quakes at defiance, -NeaO York Star

did you ever notice what great
whispering gallery the Grand Canon of
the Colorado is?'' asked Judge Har-
rson this morning.
Wonderful, " said Judge Kennedy,
as he placed his feet gently upon the
table, and transferred quid from his
left to his right cheek.
4 was through there some weeks
ago" resumed the Justice, land we
made some experiments. One of the
party fred off q gun near the needles,
and when we got to Cottonwood, more
than 81 miles away, we found the
Town Marshal still on the lookout for
the fellow who had been shooting in
the city limits
Its got II fine echo, too" said
Kennedy. Il was down at Fort Moia-
VI along III February, and just before
left [ cot into q little row with 4 fellow
and said he was no part of 3 gentle
man. | said it rather loudly and
noticed that the remark hung around
the neighborhood pretty well but
when we stopped for dinner twenty
miles away, I'll own up was surprised
to find the rocks still calling out part
of gentleman in the same tone of
voice that had used, except possibly
it sounded little more husky"
''Its Il queer country" said the
genial justice, land, as you say, it s
echo is wonderful. | was down there
along in the fall, and when [ went
back last month half of the converse
ton we INDUCED in was still floating
around promiscuously. l had made a
verbal contract for mining-claim that
the other party had tried to go back
on, but l clinched him by getting q
stenographer to take down the echo
word for word which had been said six
months before, and then got affidavits
from those who knew him that the
voice was Jim's, and had him where
he couldn't squeal. Wonderful thing

Our Foreign Element.

AS the great mass of the immiora-
ton has come since the year 1920, the
numbers of the foreign element in the
first and second degrees may be esti-
mated with approximate accuracy from
the number of persons OF foreign birth
and parentage given in the census re-
turns of $780, While 10, 13S 758 immi-
grants had landed in the United States
from 1920 to the middle of 1880, there
were in the country, in 1880, IA. $780,
900 persons of foreign birth or having
one parent foreign born. If from this
sum we take 80, 252, the surprisingly
large number Of persons OF foreign
birth having both parents born in the
United States, who are for ali the pun
poses of this study natives, we have
population foreign in the first and
second degrees of IA, 922, 744, of whom
6,679, 943 were foreign born. This
number still does not represent quite
all the new element, since large num-
Der of small children figuring in the
census Of 1880 must have had parents
of the younger generation of the new
population born upon our soil. There
is no record of these third-degree
AOAC12HGlS, VI COuISS, dlIll VIC III uob
proceed without regard to them,
simply assuming that the figures relat-
ing to the old stock embrace certain
number, not proportionately large,
who belong to the new. We may
judge of the relation in which this
mass of people of foreign birth and
parentage stands to the population
which we are accustomed TO regard as
the leaven of our nationality stock
to which all other elements are to be
assimilated if possible-by comparing
it with the white population of native
parentage. The whole popula-
ton of the country, minus persons of
foreign birth and parentage, native
negroes, and Indians, is %, col, 676.
This is not much more than half the
population. i 2. Chanabcrli72, ia The
