''One year ago. says the New York
Times, '.it was considered the thing for
young lady to carry around in her
walks abroad bull dog or Skye ter
rier. Nothing could better illustrate
the devotion to style, for the sake of
which so many people sacrifice them
selves. 1t can scarcely be an easy task
for young girl to carry ten or fifteen
pounds of dog in her arms a mile or
two, and surely more curious addi-
ton to the toilet can hardly be imagin-
ed. The fashion has changed lately
somewhat and the Fifth Avenue belle
is seen accompanied by a sleek grey
hound or a stately mastiff. Under her
left arm she carries whip with long
lash-not for use, but as an accompa-
niment to the dog.

A Queer Mouse Trap.

"I say. Hans" exclaimed MT. Blank, entering the store of corner grocer, ''that mouse trap you sold me is q fraud, and he held mp trap of tho old fashioned sugar-loaf kind, which the mice are able to enter through wire tunnel ending in sharp, springy points which are supposed to prevent the animal from forcing his way out again.
 "Is dot so? ?" asked Hans, examining the trap critically.
 "Yes," resumed Mir. Blank, "those wires are so thin and so easily bent that the mice have no trouble in getting out"
 "How you know dot?"
 "Because the cheese I put in it at night is all gone by morning and there is never any mouse to be seen.
 "De trap is all right" insisted Hans, who would rather argue an hour than take anything back.
 "I know it looks all right" answered Mir. Blank; "but it don't catch any thing"
 "No," asserted Hans, "dot trap is not dot kind of trap. Dot is an anti-sus- picion trap"
 "A what ?"
 "An anti.suspicion trap. Itvas new kind and is to disarm suspicion, dot is all."
 "I wish you would explain" said Mir. Blank becoming interested.
 "Vell, you sec, if you put pieces of cheese around de house de mice don't go near dot cheese; dey is afraid it is poisoned.
 "Indeed?"
 "Das is so. Yell, it is because dey knows you not leave cheese around de house dat way already, onless dere is some dings de matter with him"
 "Yes.
 "Vell, you see dose traps is made so dose mice can get out, and dose mice see dis and dey say: "Ah, Ina Dis ole feller dink he catch us, but dose trap is no good, and dey go in an eat de cheese"
 "Well?"
 "Vell, you put poisen on de cheese in de trap, and dot is de way you fool dem, already. "-Fhitd. EUcning CdH.

Still Another Pension Bill.

The bill introduced in the United States Senate by Senator Blair provides for an increase to $40 month of the pensions of soldiers and sailors who suf- fered an amputation at the hip joint, or an amputation of foot or leg, of such a character as to prevent them wearing an artificial limb, or who suffered an am- putation through the shoulder joint, or wound or injury thereto, which renders the entire arm useless, or who suffered an amputation of one hand and one foot, or are totally disabled in one hand and one foot, or those who are otherwise so disabled as to be incapacitated for the per formance of any manual labor, but not so disabled as to require the regular per sonal aid or attendance of any person. It also provides that those who have lost the sight of one eye shall receive pen sion at the rate of $12 month, and in cases where the other eye shall have been injured, the person so dis abled shall be entitled to an increase of his pension, not to exceed-when the loss of sight is less than. totaI-$40 a month; also, that those who have totally lost the hearing of both ears shall be en- titled to receive a pension of $30 a month, and for any loss of hearing less than total deafness pension at a pro- portionate rate.

He Popped Off.

Say, George, I'm going to pop"
 The young man reached for his hat with frightened expression of counte- nance, and faltered out something about an engagement with man down at the hotel.
 "Why, George, you ain't going so early, are you? was just going to say that, if you'd stay little while longer, I'd pop"
 George disappeared through the parlor door, and was hastily fumbling for the catchlock in the hall.
 "Say, George-what's the matter ?" she cried, rushing out after him. "What are you going away in such hurry for !? If you will stop for just a few minutes longer will pop"
 But George was thrashing around in the storm house, and jabbing the door all over to find the latch. He finally bursted a hinge off and was kiting down the path like a frightened deer, when his girl stuck her head out into the frosty air, and bawled so that she could be heard block away:
 "Say, George, if you will come back, I will pop some corn p ..
 George came back.

Being a Boy,

There is a great comfort to be boy in the amount of work he can get rid of doing. It is sometimes astonishing how slow he can go on an errand; perhaps he couldn't explain himself why, when he is sent to the neighbors' for yeast, he stops to stone the frogs. He is not ex- actly cruel, but he wants to see if he can't hit 'em. It is a curious fact about boys, that two will be great deal slower about doing anything than one. Boys have power of helping each other do nothing. But say what you will about the general usefulness of boys, farm without boy would very soon come to grief. He is always in demand. In the first place, he is to do all the errands, go to the store, post office, and carry all sorts of messages. He would like to have as many legsas wheel has spokes and rotate in about the same way. This he sometimes tries to do, and people who have seen him turning cart wheels" along the side of the road have supposed he was amusing himself aud biding his time. He was only trying to invent a new mode of locomotion, so that he could eeonomize legs, and do his errands with greater dispatch. Leapfrog is one of the methods of getting over the ground quickly. He has natural gen. jus for combining pleasure with business. -Charlcs Dudley Warner.

THE JOY OF YOUTH.
Rev. Robert COIIyer on the SprinRtime
 and Autumn of Iife-

The Rev. Robert Collyer spoke to the young men of his charge Sunday morn- ing, finding text in Ecclesiastes, xii, g: Rejoice, oh, young man, in thy youth, and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thine heart and in the sight of thine eyes, but know thou that for all these things God will bring thee into judg- ment." The sermon in opening gave an account of the writer of the text, Solo, mon, who, in his youth, had all that mortal could desire. His father YVES g poet, a warrior and prince He was gifted mentally and physically and his son was like unto him. Solomon had a youth of rare culture, and in his later years he was not unsuccessful, as the world would judge him. Yet there was something which replaced the promise of youth with the gall of old age, and he wrote as 8 man who had known both the sunshine and the shadow of life.
 To-day the world and society are full of men who are long past the meridian of life, yet look back only on a wasted youth. It were idle to expect that young people should follow the course of life which so well befts their elders. There is a springtime as well as an autumn in the existence of each human being, and it is as idle to expect to reverse the positions as it is to check the singing of the birds or to turn back the babbling brooks. The old Puritan fathers of New England tried it and failed, for the young people had their frolics and would go love-making of a Sunday despite all the blue laws and all the tyranny of Salem and Boston. The Quakers tried it in more recent days, but gave it up as failure. A spring time there must be aud time of turn ing leaves. but see to it that there be no such riotous spring as shall leave no fruitage but bring instead premature winter.
 Enjoyment and the love of enjoyment is the evil which threatens the young men of to-day. There is an attempt in the buoyancy of youth to do too many things, and not the more solid desire to do one thing well. Superfciahty re- places thoroughness, and while the world keeps mp a glittering, sham ap- pearance the humanity of the world is crushed out. Religion comes in for like treatment with every other serious con- cern. It is looked at and regarded as a very good thing and passed by. There is danger ahead, and the only safe watchwords are godliness and thorough ness.

The Elephant Business.

The controversy about MT. Barnum's sacred white elephant-ifitis it is sacred and white-promises at least to serve as an object lesson in natural history, if the controversy is ever decided. A London newspaper correspondent calls the brute pink, and says it is no more white than an alligator. A gentleman who has just returned from Siam declares that it is the color of Jersey mud. The Siamese Min ister at the Court of St. James's says there is no such thing as white ele- phant, and the Rev. Wilbur F. Crafts told his congregation Sunday evening, that Mir. Barnum was trying to palm off a leprous elephant on an outraged con- munity for a white one.

A PalpabIe Evidence.

The most palpable evidence of polyg- amy that one encounters here, says letter written from Salt Lake City, Is the number of baby carriages that he stumbles over and swears at on pleas ant day. It is a sight worth seeing, some twenty or thirty of them in a row lining the sidewalks. the only variety being in the color of their eyes or the pitch of their infantile crow or howl. You do not sec men parading the streets with their collection of wives tied to- gether with a string, as I dimly ex- pected; though if you go to the Taber- nacle on Sunday you will see an old farmer come in with his lumber wagon we'll loaded with femininity of several ages and nationalities, and 1t is fair to presume that they each lay claim to board. He marches them into the old adobe building which figures as taber- nacle here with all the pride of an off, cer marshalling his forces on the field of battle. When some weazened old repro bate brings in a new wife the religious fervor of the audience gets the best of them at this fresh evidence of godliness and exaltation, and hearty "Amen T" ascends to heaven and Joseph Smith. But even the country Mormons disclaim polygamy with this living evidence of it right before your eyes, and you can't prove it on them either, for their mar riages are secret and all of the local off, cers of the town are Mormons them selves.

About Cribbing News.

An influential Western member of the U. s. House, referring to the Watterson bill, spoke as follows concerning it. "The proposition on it's face seems fair, but it is deceptive. The value of news is not in holding it, but in giving it; not in storing it away, but in disseminating it. How can one expect to retain prop erty right in that which has no value unless it is given away? What is news !? The statement of facts; the story of oc- currences. If one gets the first account of thing, should he be permitted to patent it, and secure exclusive right of publishing it? The newspapers have ample protection in the first use of their own special news. The first use is about all the value there is in it to the first newspaper. The country press can get some benefit by reprinting the news, but this is no injury to the city press; in fact, it is often a benefit, for it Is usually credited. The country press would be injured by the passage of the bill. It is a scheme of the Metropolitan and Asso- ciated Press to confne the printing of news to their journals"

The PleurO-PneumOnia Bill.

The United States House passed the the PIeuro- Pneumonia bill by vote of 155 yeas to 127 nays. The bill as passed provides that the Commissioner of Agriculture shall organize a bureau of animal industry and appoint chief thereof, whose duty it shall be to investi- gate and report on the number, value and condition of the domestic animals of the United States, and also the causes of contagious and communicable dis eases among them, and the means for the prevention and cure of the same. He is authorized to appoint two compe- tent agents, whose duty it shall be to re- port upon the best methods of treating, transporting and caring for animals, and the means to be adopted for the suppress sion and extirpation of contagious pleuro-pneumonia.
 The bill further provides that the Commissioner of Agriculture may ex- pend so much of the money appropri- ated by this act as may be required in paying for the animals it is deemed necessary to slaughter, and in such dis infection and other means as may be needed to extirpate disease. The au- thorities of the State shall pay one-half of the expense of the animals it is deemed necessary to slaughter, and one- half of the cost of disinfection and care of the herds of cattle. It prohi bits the transportation from one State to an- other of any live stock affected with any contagious or infectious disease, and provides for the prosecution of any per. son violating this prohibition. The sum of S250, 900 is appropriated to carry into effect the provisions of this bill.
