An Intelligent Dog that Carries the
Mail to Some California Miners.

The Calico mining district boasts
the possession Of the most remarkable
dog heard from up to date. He is a
Scotch collie dog, known as Dorsey"
and he is employed as special mail
carrier over the star route between the
town of Calico and the mines at Bis
narck. some three miles distant.
'Star Route Dorsey" as the boys call
the dog, is the property Of the broth
ers Stacy, who own store at the
mines and another at Calico. There
is 10 postofice at the mine and no
mail service, and we're il not for the
intelligence of Dorsey the fifty odd
miners at Bismarck would have to
wait for a week for news Of the out
side world. But every day, as the
stage from Daggett drives pto Staey's
store at Calico, Dorsey is on hand,
waiting for his nail pouch to be filed,
and as soon as it is strapped on his

halations. There is no danger in
pure air; only those who have slept

air, realize to the full the expression,

from your couch, exhilarated, elastic
ready for any thing, and feel that life
is worth living, for itself alone. Every
one in good health should leave the
room where the night has been pass

can strive for it, and the nearer we

Hints on Summer Diet.
From the Cook.

Milk is a very important summer
diet, but should be used in nlodera>
ton or it is lab e to produce i'll effects.
Drink it in small mouthfuls and rest
a moment between them. Dyspeptic
persons are advised to beat the milk a
few moments before drinking. This
treat@en breaks the butter globules
and renders digestion easier.
We strongly recommend skinned
milk and fresh buttermilk as summer
drinks, instead OF ice water. The ice
water dyspepsia. a common malady
dur ng The summer NORTH, may be
entirely relived by using small guam
titles of freshly>chu:ned buttermilk,
accompanied by what is known as a
moderately dry diet.
Breakfast should not be heavy
meal and hot food should be used in
moderation. Hot tea and coffee lib
orally partaken Of prevents one from
feeling conf ortable eli day. Rad
ishes lce cold, oatmeal crackers and
milk, a dainty slice of cold lamb,
fresh fruit and cold as 2aragus, present
breakfast that makes hot weather a
luxury.

back off he goes along the rocky trail
to Bismarck at a gait which brings the
mail there twenty minutes after the
stage stops at Calico. Dorsey, as soon
as he arrives at Bismarck, goes
straight to Stacy's store, and until the
pouch is taken off will allow no one
but his master to come near him.
When the mail is removed he goes off
to have time with the Bismarck dogs
and enjoys himself, only RETURNING to
the store at meal time. He sleeps at
Bismarck, and after breakfast every
day he gets the mail for Calico from
Stacy, and takes it to Calico. There
is nothing very remarkable about car
fYing a mail pouch three nailes and
back every day; but Dorsey is won
derful dog, and the more he is watch
ed the n2ore wonderful the things
found out about him. There are three
trails between the mine and Calico,
and Dorsey makes It a rule never TO
take the same one twice running.
though one is much better than the
others. The miners say that Dorsey
fears an ambuscade, but whatever his
reason it is g well-defned one, for
once, when he used trail he had
taken the day before, he was observ~
ed TO hesitate, in doubt whether to
retrace his steps or not, and 1inal-
~ to make a break across a fear
fully rough country to the other
trail. When Dorsey has the mail he
will allow no one to touch him. and
will run from any dog in the camp;
but woe be TO the dog that annoys
Dorsey on duty, for Dorsey, when res
ieved from his load, will surely get
even, and he is not afraid of any dog
in the district. The miners all say
that Dorsey can tell the time, for he
never has to be called, and just before
mail time will go up to Stacy and
bother him till he gets his letters. If
no letters are given to him at the
usual hour, he does not wait around
but goes off to Calico, where he spends
the day. A couple of weeks ago Der
sey was paying some little attention
to female canine at Calico. He had
rival, who took advantage of Dor
sey's absence to ingratiate himself
with Dorsey's flame. But it appears
that Dorsey had made calculations
for something of She kind, and when
the mail was removed at Bismarck,
he dashed back to Calico for the first
time since he had been on the route.
His hated rival, secure in Dorsey's
supposed absence. was making the
most of his time, when Dorsey APP
peared on the scene and literally tore
his ears off. The miners at Bismarck
have had Dorsey photographed, and
have presented him with a soft leather
pouch, which goes over his back like
saddle, and is very convenient for
the dog to carry. Dorsey's weight in
gold would not buy HIM from his
rough, kind friends.

Detroit Free Press.
There was wedding tour in this
direction the other day, and the happy
couple were accompanied by three
others. 1t was q sweet spectacle to
see the four pairs promenading up
Jefferson avenue with hands
clasped and a tafy-like smile spread
over every face, and hundreds Of
pedestrians stopped to gaze and adj
mire. The porter of a wholesale house
wasn't quite satisfied with what he
could see, but stopped the last couple,
and inquired:
SIS 1t a case Of loves"
''You bet!' replied the young man.
''Are they extremely happy"
''Jest bilin' over, sir. y
why don'tyou and this gal follow
suit?''

twenty times to have me, but it's no

''Neverl Ne7erl'' she firmly said
as she rolled her cud Of gum to the

To Check Bleeding.

The natural process by which bleed
ing is stopped is the formation of a
blood clot which plugs the orifce Of
the divided vessel. When an artery
is divided the cut end retracts or
snrInks SO that the formation of clot
is facilitated, but the blood current is
SO strong, unless loss of much blood
has diminished the force of the circu-
lat.on, that it binders the coagulation.
It should, therefore, be the aim of an
assistant to check or stop the flow of
blood from the artery in order that
the beginnings Of Conformation may
not be swept away by the current.
This May be accomplished by pressing
upon the orfice of the vessel in the
wound, or by pressing the edges of
the wound firmly together, or, in
cases where this is not easy and eff
ficient, by COMPRISING the artery
which supplies the part from which
the homorrhag9 Is taking place in
some part of its course between the
heart and the injury The main ar
teries supplying the head lie in the
neck, one on each side OF the wind
pipe, where there pulsations may be
readily felt. In case Of a wound of
an artery in the neck the cut ends of
the vessel should be compressed with
the finger, if possible, Or the artery,
both below and above the wound,
should be pressed firmly backward
against the backbone Unless skilled
surgical aid can be speedily obtained,
there is little hope Of saving life in
case these great vessels are wounded.

He Saw himself.
Arkansaw Traveller.

We wish that every In temperate
unworthy father e. gse himself
represented exactly $ wife and
children see nina. This naplt Of drink
is rarely SO dominant, even in the
worst man, that he could not resist
such q vision, once set before him
and most of the vices that people in
dulge in are due to their self~blind~
ness, which prevents wholesome
shame. How 1t affects transgressor
to have his eyes opened is told in this
vivid passage from a crunkard's ex-
perience. Such incidents have been
the turning point IN the fortunes OF
more than one family: "You must ex-
cuse me, gentlemen, for 7 cannot
drink anything" said a man who was
known to the entire town as drunk
ard.
This is the first time you ever re-
fused drink" said an acquaintance.
The other day you were hustling
around after "a cock tail, and in fact
you even asked me TO set 'em up"
That's very true, bat I am very

When [ left them I was about half
drunk. TO a man of my tempera-
ment half drunk is a miserable con-
dition, for the desire for more is so
strong that be forgets his self-respect
IN his efforts to get more drink. I
remembered that there was a half
pint of whiskey at home which had
been purchased for medicinal pur-
poses.
''Just before reaching the gate

''He took a bottle, ran away and
filed it with water. Pretty soon he
returned, and entering the playhouse,
nodded idiotically at the girl and sat
down without saying anything. The
girl looked up from her work and
said:

way?"
-" 'Whizzer, way? he replied:
"'Gettin' drunk

"'You are; an you promised when

He Forgot a Little FOrmality.
Buffalo Courier.

A well-known gentleman of this
city who holds public Office of con-
siderable Importance and honor, al
though not extraordinarily productive
of emoluments. is a victim of defec>
tive memory. He lately spent some
time in New York, and while there,
in furtherance of political Or some
other end, arranged to give an elabor-
ate dinner to a numerous and dis
tinguished company. The appointed
evening arrived, the collation., an
elegant one, was all ready to be served
but the guests came not. Half an
hour passed, and still they did not
come, and the host became really un,
easy. When the delay had grown to
an hour, and not man Of them had
shown up, his feelings were hides
cribable. And who picture his agony
of spirit when On returning to his
hotel room, he CHANGED to pull open q
drawer and therein found the whole
bundle Of invitations which he had
fOrg often to send out.

a Strange Story About Chinese Gordon


Here is droll story about General
Gordon that has not yet found its
way into print. The General enter
tanned peculiar ideas concerning the
Edenic apple by which Mother Eve
introduced death and all, our woe"
into the world. The constituent elc-
ments Of this fruit Gordon held to be-
present in the blood of every mem
Der OF the human race up TO the pres
ent day, and Ae commended that their
virtue could only be subdued and
counteracted by frequent participa-
ton IN the bread and wine Of the
sacrement. But so material view
did he take of this rite that he
Thought the more man could inject
in quantity Of the consecrated food
the better would be his chances of ex-
purging from the physical organism
| the poisonous cOrpuscles Of the for
hidden fruit. Having foreseen that
there would be little or no opporiuni-
ties Of receiving the sacrament in the
Soudan, Gordon resolved to take as
much SIS possible Of the sacred ele-
ments before starting. He therefore
occupied himself on the Saturday be-
fore his last Sunday in England in
ascertaining the certain hours at
which communion would be admins
tered in the various churches within
reach Of the place where ne then was,
and rising early on the Sunday morn
ing, he vent from church to church
in turn, partaking of the sacrement
IN each, and thus received the ele-
ments some half-dozen times in sue
cessien, beginning at 6 o'clock a. "a,
and ending at midday.

Before the ring has touched my hand,
OF pure, true, endless love the token
Before the church with holy rite

Look straight into my eyes with yours,
And answer me in sight of Heaven.
Is there within your heart of hearts

One thought that you have chosen i'll?
Oh, speak It's not too late cen yet.
Is there in all this world of ours

Whom, had you earlier seen or known,
You would.have crowned.'your chosen

1t could not be SO sad, SO sore,
To know it now, as it would be
If by and by a shadow fell
Upon the sunshine of our home
So. if you ever loved me, tell.
I'll hold you pure from blame, dear love-
And | would leave you free as air,
To woo and win that happier one;

That God would have you in His care
That would be easy when l think
Of you my heart is all one prayer.
But could l join her name with yours,
And call down blessings from above
On her, who robbed me Of my ALL
My life, my light. my only Lowell
Yes even that I'd try to do,
Although my lonely heart should break,
I'd try TO say, God bless herr too,
Through binding tears fol- your sweet

I'm looking up into your eyes,
But though my own with tears are dim
I read that in their true, clear depths
Which tells me you may trust in him.

Though yours are flowing warm and
fast, .
And eloquent with truth and love.
Forgive my doubts-they are the last
