Outwitted BY a Dog.

The following incident, given in
''Maryels of Prayer" by the Rev.
Hyatt Smith, was first published in
Scottish journal, and the editor vouch-
ed for the truth of the narrative. There
is no connection between the incident
and the title of the book, but young
people will be interested to learn how
4 dog Out-witted his master. A gentle
man in Glasgow owned very inteli-
gent Newfoundland dog. He accom-
panied his master wherever he went
and was his inseparable companion in
his visits and to church. One evening
the gentleman went to visit a neighbor
The dog attended him. 1t was quite
late when the gentleman started for
home, and, to his surprise, his dog
could not be found. After the family
had retired to bed there was a great
noise in the kitchen. 1t was supposed
that burglars were robbing the house.
Soon there was crash and a smash
like the breaking of a window, and
then all was still. The morning revealed
the mystery The dog had fallen
asleep under the table. He was sensi-
bic that his master had gone home and
the noise heard was the attempt of the
dog to make his escape. As there was
no other way to get out, the sagacious
animal went through the window, tax
ing the glass and frame with him. 1t
was a long time before his master visited
the house again. When he did, his
dog accompanied him, and the animal
found his way through the open door
of the kitchen to his old hiding place
under the table 1t was late when the
master started for home. But neither
his hat nor cane could be found. After
long search the dog was discovered
fast asleep under the table; one paw
was in his masters hat, the other on
his masters cane. How he obtained
possession of these articles no one
could tell. He remembered his last
visit to the place, and how scurvily he
was treated. The sagacious creature
resolved not to be left behind the next
time. He knew that his master could
not 90 home without his hat and cane,
and that he would be quite likely to be
awakened when his owner got ready to
walk. His plans were acutely laid, and
if he had possessed reason he could not
have done BETTER

The Latest in Canes.

1.-The styles in walking-canes are
constantly changing, said a proml-
nent dealer in imported canes on
Broadway to reporter for the MdI
and ErpresS. 1.-The most popular and
stylish cane is now made of hazel
wood, with a buckhorn handle shaped
like a shepherds crook. The more ex-
pensive have silver bands just below
the handle. If the owner desires he
can have his monogram cut on the
band, and if he is very lah-de-dah he
viii do it. They are the latest London
rage in canes and the dudes here arc
not slow in adopting them. The plain
cane without the silver band sells at 81
and the highest at 81. But the hazel
wood and the cute way the buckhorn
handle is put on to make them odd,
from the first insured their popularity" "
What style of cane ranks next in
popularity?'
"Those with small silver caps. For
a long time the silver crooked handle
cane was in the ascendency. But the
street vendors with cheap limitations in
nickel handles caused their popularity to
wane. There is nothing that breaks into
the trade in stylish canes as disastrously
as cheap limitations. Generally, man
who carries a cane has certain
amount of vanity and pride, and to see
snide people trying to swell it on a
cheap imitation cane disgusts him with
even the genuine.
care any new kinds of canes being
introduced?"
Eyes. The crystallite, so-called be-
cause the handle is crystallization of
certain wood found only in South
America. They are mounted in tigerite.
The handles are frequently designs of
the heads of animals. They are very
scarce, and cannot be purchased for
less than S12 or $15. They are some
what too expensive ever to be univer-
sally popular: Only the very rich can
afford them"
What of the gold and ivory-headed
canes?n
They will never 90 out of style.

probably will be for many years to

The Tom-Tit Song.

The most successful, and certainly the pref
test, song in the new comic opera 1.-The Mi
kado' is the loye-song of the tom-tit. 1t has
already become popular, and its refrain has al
ready become a catch-phrase. The song runs:
On tree by a river little tom-tit
Sang "Willow. titwillow, titwillow!"
And ] said to him ''Dicky-bird, why do you sit
Singing willow, titwillow, titwillow'?
Is il weakness of intellect, birdief" cried
"Or q rather tough worm in your little inside?
With a shake OF MS poor little head he replied,
30 willow, titwillow, utwillow!'
He slapped at his chest, as he sat on that bOugh
Singing willow, titwillOw, titwilow!'
And a cod perspratiOn bespangled his brow,
willow, titwi!low, titwillow!
He sobbed and he sighed. and a gurgle he gave,
Then he threw himself into the hillOwy wave,
And an echo arose from the suicides grave,
80 willow, titwillOw, utwillow!'
Now ] feel as sue as I'm sure that my name
Isn't willow, titwillow, titwillow,
That twas blighted affection that made me
exclaim,
20 willow, titwillow, titwillowi"
And if you remain callous and obdurate,
Shall perish as he did and you will know why,
Though probably shall not exclaim as die,
20 willow, titWiilow, titwiiow."

Wild Birds in London.

All of us have herd pathetic stories of
Australian gold-diggers or Canadian
backwoodsmen moved to tears by the
song of some imprisoned skylark,
which reminded them of their English
birthplace. 1t is to be feared that tears
would not be so easily drawn from such
emigrants as are of London origin, for
he that spends all his days in London,
with the exception, perhaps, of week
or so about the month of August, may
very likely never have heard lark sing
in his life, unless from a cage, to the
accompaniment of cart and carriage
wheels. There are, however still many
birds to be heard and seen about the
park and gardens of London; where,
indeed, those which can find food in
such places have, perhaps, a safer and
more comfortable life than they can
ever lead in the country. Man de-
barred from the use of nets or guns is
not very dangerous to creatures pos
sessed of wings, and he drives away
such four-footed enemies as stoats and
weasels, while birds of prey, hawks,
and magpies, avoid his presence, even
in towns where it would be harmless.
Yet only one small bird. the sparrow,
has deliberately chosen London for
dwelling-place. The pigeons which
futter about Westminster abbey and
the British museum can not be conSid-
cred wild birds any more than ducks on
our ornamental waters. They receive
much of their food at the hands of man,
and are descended from ancestors
which he imported into their present
homes. The moorhens which feed
freely on some London waters may
possibly have found their own way
there. They are not SO tame in their
behavior as the ducks, with which it is
feared that they are often confounded.
The sparrow really has come unin-
vited, and taken up his abode in Lon
don, resigning all innocent country
pleasures for an adventurous, and not
altogether honest, life in the streets.
His sooty presence graces alike Seven
Dials and Hyde Park corner: indeed,
there is no class of Londoners who is so
much at home in every part of London
as he. He is the only one of us that
dares enter the lions den. Buns
tempt him down into the bear-pit much
more quickly than they tempt the bear
up. 1t is perhaps the corrupting in
fluence of a town life which has given
to this bold bad bird the evil qualities
which transportation has made worse.
In Australia the sparrow has gone
forth like bushranger, with the vices
of the town upon him, into the coun-
try, where he steals grain on a colossal
scale and is established as a colossal
nuisance. .-CGSSepS Magazine.

Squire Darbee's Grindstone.

Squire Darbee, son of Sam Darbee,
the famous panther-fghter of Sullivan
county, and who killed and captured
nine panthers once in less than an hour,
had been Justice of the Peace in Rock
land township for many years. He was
candidate this spring, and was de-
feated
AN what do We s'pose beat him?"
SAID a native of the 'squire's town yes
terday. He got beat jis' because he
didn't think that he orter pervide a
grindstun fur ev'ry man tn was in the
town to grind his axes, an his scythes,
an his hog knives, and ev'rything else
he had to grind. 'cept grist. an be
darned if | don't think the township d
fetched its grist to the 'squire's to
grind on his grindstun if they could
done it. For more'n twenty years
Squire Darbee had a grindstun stand
In right whar ev'rybody that wanted
to could use it. He hadn't much use
for grindstun hisself, but folks got in
the habit of 'spectin' him to pervide
one for 'em, and he got to thinkin' he
had to. Whenever they'd wear
grindstun out, or it'd be gittin' leetle
holler and wobby, they'd drop in at the
squire's an say:
Squire, that grindstun o. your'n'
gittin' leetle onneighborly.'
Then the 'squire'd buy a new one,
an things'd run ali right till the new
one got onneigh borly, too, an then he'd
git another one. Wall, @Findstuns is
grlndstuns nowadays. They N gittin'
sca'ce an they come high. Squire
Darbee got thiakin' TO hiSself las
summer that he didn't seeno p'rtickler
reason why he sh'd set up the hull durn
township to grindstuns two or three
times year, ar so when a bushwhack-
er came in one day an told the squire
that his grindstun wasn't in shape to
do the proper thing by the neigh bors,
the squire didn't say nolhin', but he
bought a new grindslun, thinkin' he
mowt want to use it h!Sscif some time,
mebbe, an locked it up III his barn.
wall, now, if society in any place
ever were all tore up, It were in old
Rockland when the news rot round
that Squire Darbee had locked his
grindstun up. Folks couldn't hardly
b'lieve it, an come in from ten mile
round to see it with their own eyes,
People asst the squire if he were act al
ly goin crazy OF whether he were iok-
in, but he didn't let the grinds..un
loose wuth a cent. The township said
it were an outrage, and that Squire
Darbee orter be 'shamed o hisself to 90
back on his neighbors that way. But
the grindstun laid low.
"As matter o course, when town
'lections come round this spring the
squire puts hisself up for justice OF the
peace agin, and sot down, rs he'd alluz
done, an waited for the office to come
to him. Wall, some O his old neigh
bors went round an 'lectioneer' d az in
him, an got the voters worked up OBJ

No man that's mean enough to
lock up his grindstun hain't tit to be
