An ola Mexican Church.

An FL PasO. Texas, paper says of the
old Mexican town across the Rio

a cathedral 325 years old. built by
Spanish Jesuits. It IS not that the

priateness and simplicity offering in
this respect lesson to the mOderns.
The walls are Of adobe. plain aud

massive timbers are any the worse for

beautifully carved. In the cathedral
are records Of great historic value.

Three Dog stories.

Alapaha Star: A citizen of this coun-
ty was riding along, when his dog run
small squirrel up sapling. The
dog was well developed as to mouth,
and soon his furious barking so fright
ened the squirrel that it leaped from
the sapling and shot head-foremost into
his mouth just rs he opened it TO bark.
The squirrel disappeared like flash
into the interior department of the dog.
The dog seemed stupefied by the sud
den shock and began turning round
and round rs if crazy. 1t was evident
that the free lunch did not set well on
the dogs internal economy. In a
short time the squirrel was heaved up.
The little animal, without Il moments
pause, darted for the sapling and was
soon seated on its topmost branch.
Since that the dog cannot be induced
to bark at a squirrel up tree.
Norwich Bulletin: There is dog at
the West Side that shows his abhor-
renee of al! letter carriers by terrible
howl as soon - thew PASS him. In the
early days of the letter carriers this dog
used to bark at the heels of one who is
well known as dog breaker, and he
logged the animal so numerically that
he could not stand up, and left him. This
broke the dog. From that day to this
he skulks until the letter carrier has
passed him. and then he sets up howl
that is perfect fac-simile of the one
which he uttered on the day of his
whipping; and wherever and whenever
he meets letter carrier he sends up
his howl of contempt. Last Sunday an
East Side letter carrier was riding out
with his best girl at the West Side.
They met the dog, the dog recognized
the uniform and then howled. This
canine contempt for the whole lot of
them proves quite annoying to the in
nocent men.
Providence Journal Some time last
fall a well-known huntsman here lost
very valuable pointer dog and the
most strenuous eXertions made TO find
the animal proved fruitless, so finally
be was given mp as being hoplessly
lost. Last Monday the owner of the
dog. in company with three other gen
tlemen. was travelling through a sec
ton of Buck Hill woods, when they
came across the skeleton of dog in
attitude, the left fore paw raised and
the tail sticking out straight as ram
rod. the bones being held in position
by the sun-dried cords and sinews.
the collar around the neck established
beyond doubt the fact that the re-
mains were those of the long lost Leo,
and further search brough. to view,
about rod from the dogs nose the
bones and feathers of partridge. The
mystery now became clear as day.
With the wonderful and inscrutable
instincts that control birds and brutes
the partridge had lain perdu, afraid to
rise while the dog, like the Roman SEN
try at Pompeii had died at his post of
duty. The hunter exhibits the recov-
cred collar as proofs positive of the
truth of his story.

An East India newspaper says that
the greatest tea-drinkers in the world
are the inhabitants Of the Australian
colonies and New Zealand. who con
sumo upward 0. seven pounds per
head yearly. The people of Great
Britain, who come next in the list. cor
sumo something less than five pounds
per head; il. the United States the con-
sumption IS one and third pounds.
and in Russia only a little more than
three-ifths Of a pound. Russia gets
the name Of being a great tea-drinkiug
nation from the habits Of some OF
her provinces, in which ghe consump-
ton is enormous. Belgium. Sweden,
Hungary. and Spain consume less tea
than the other nations Of Europe, but
in no nation on the Continent except
Holland does the consumption exceed
one pound pcr head. Newfoundland
and Canada beat the United States at

BETWEEN THE ACTS.

Between the acts, what plays are enacted
Curious dramas not seen on the stage
Bits of tragedy well selected
Comedies better than IAN the Rage!
When the curtain is down and house well
packed,
o great is tue acting between each act!
Between the acts, vi hen the glass is adjusted
ON the opposite eide OF the house, Alas!
Some body loved and somebody trusted
smiles into eyes that are using no glass.
d Que may smile bat another will frown,
When the lights are up. and the curtain Is
down.
Between the acts, when the music is sobbing,
In sudden amazement aud mute surprise,
With cheeks that are paling, ana hearts that are
thfobbBg.
Old lovers look into each others eyes:
And calm breasts quiyer and shake with signs
When the curtain goes down and lorgnettes
rise.
Between the acts. there are cute nirtations
With brght-eyed beauties aud stylish beauX-
Nice, but naughty and full of temptation 49,
Sighed over after the evenings close. -
q much Is done that's regretted at dawn,
When the curtain IS down and the light turned
on.
Between the acts there are fond hearts broken,
Aud hope falls dead with never amoan,
Old wounds are opened-sweet words are
spoken,
All in the ripple and UNDERGONE,
But the light turns dim and the cgFt tain 10 drawn,
And the lesser play on the stage goes on.

Far above the fern and moss,
Fiuttering birch and wee FIR cross
And the pines low murmurng,
There the frightened lichens cling
To the oyerhanging edge
OF the precipice and ledge,
Fearless in their dainty glee,
Have the barebells merrily
From their dusky Tafters hing,
Ae'er in Belgian belfry swung
Bells more exquisitely wrought
BY the mountain breezes caught
Tossing, swaying 10 and FRO
While beside them bending low,
Breathlessly wait to hear
Echo OF their CHI ming clear.

And they shall my greeting bring

WIEN TO Plant eunnANrs.

The autumn Of the year, about November, is
the best time for planting oat young currant and
goosebelry trees; and at the most they should
not be more than three years from the cutting
or, IL older than this at the time of planting
they should be cut back little to strengthen
the growth OF the new wood. Bat, to be more
in order, it Is perhaps OF the cuttings themselves
that we should first speak. In the wane Of the
year. choose some good straight young shoots,
healthy and well-grown, Of about foot in length
or little over; and from the part that you are
carefully ont all the eyes and buds, this will
afterwards serve to prevent suckers growing up
and detracting from the strength OF your young
tree. AS for the soil, the ordinary kitchen gar
den soil that is uniformly trenched and msnuT-
ed win do admirably well for your young cut
tings. Take care TO plant them firmly in, hat
not in too sunny situation. BY the end Of the
following summer they will have sent out some
two three good shoots. by the end OF the
first year, that is to say, about November, prune
the young shoots slightly back, and in two
years time you viii have a fairly respectable
little shrub. Do not, however eventually retain
more than four or five shoots your tree. At
two years growth you can remove your young
trees to the spot you have selected for their
final destination, though they can stand where
the cuttings were put in for three years, IL nee
eAsary; or indeed it is well TO plant them at the
outset in the spot you intend them to remain
finally in - CqgselES E,gygfTU JffO0zi8s
