People remark with astonishment
hat dogs go mad in winter now as well
as summer. | was once told by an old
g~amekceper hat dogs suffer much from
toothache, and when in pain will howl,
bark, snap, foam at the mouth, and
tear anything 10 pieces that comes in
their way. | nave heard this laughed
at. A few years since l had a valuable
pointer, and the groom called my atten-
ton to the usual signs of madness-in-
deed, the dogs bowling disturbed the
ncighborhood. l had gamekeepers and
veterinary surgeons to see him, and it
was pronounced a clear case Of hydro
phobia, and the dog was TO be shot.
| did not feel satisfied in my w
mind, as between the fits of biting and
bowling he looked up at me in the most
beseeching way. The old gamekeeper's
idea struck me, and l determined to ex-
anime the dogs mouth. With thick
gloves OF my hands and sacks over my
legs, | strobe over the dogs back, ex-
aInined his mouth, and sure enough
there was a decayed tooth half out.
Calling for a knife. | got the tooth out,
and poured in laudanum and camphor.
The poor animal ate aud drank well
after this, and all signs of madness dis
appeared. True, | was thought quite
as mad as the dog, but the result was

Those who read about prize fights, yet
feel a bit ashamed of it, can join with
the classical scholar in reading this de
scription Of a John Sullivan Of Rome:
One of the bronze figures recently dug
up on the steep slope of the Quirinal
hill represents n powerful boxer of bar
barrie type, who, after fighting calamity,
sits down exhausted by the numerous
blows received, the traces OF which are
visible all over his body. The torso
bends gently forward and the elbows
rest on the knees. The face of the Her
culean type, is turned towards the left:
the mouth is half open, and the lipy
seem to culver, as if speaking TO some
one.
No words can describe the realistic
impression created by the magnificent
specimen of n semi-barbaric athlete. His
nose is swollen from the effects Of the
last blow received; his ears, his should
ers, and his breast are scanned with
scars. He is painting from sheer fatigue,
and seems to take a moments rest,
ready TO start again at the first call, The
modelling of the muscles of the arms
and of the back is simply wonderful.
The details Of the fur-lined boxing
gloves are also exquisite. This bronze
belongs TO the best period of Greco-
Roman sculpture.-Chicago Tribune.

Plain living must clearly be the order
of the day in Berlin, whether or not
high thinking goes with it. Out Of a
total population Of 1,e00, 900. nearly
222. 900 are altogether exempt from mu-
nicipal taxation as having incomes of
less than 81 pounds sterling a year, The
incomes of nearly 100000 range
between 81 and 80 pounds sterling.
20 that however cheap sausage,
cabbage and beer may be, there
is clearly no great margin for lux
urious excess. When we come to the
other end of the scale we find incomes
proportionately modest. Incomes be
tween 5000 pounds and 5000 pounds
are credited TO 1870 individuals; eighteen
persons have incomes up to $1,000
pounds, five up to 10000 pounds, nine
up to 1900 pounds, and four persons
only exceed this sum. II we could get
at similar statistics of the incomes Of
Germans in London the result OF the
comparison would probably be 50 start
ling that half Berlin would rush TO
swell the tide Of Teutonic immigra-
tion.-Pa1l Mall Gazette.

When the Declaration of Independence
which Mr.. Jefferson had drawn up IA
submitted to the other members of the
congressional committee appointed to
prepare II, 80 many changes were pro-
posed hat the young author grew restless.
Benjamin Franklin, who sat near him,
consoled him with the story of John
Thompson. He had always, he remarked,
been careful 10 avoid drawing papers to
be submitted to public body. and he
had been confirmed in that resolution by
a certain incident: when | wa a Jour
neyman printer he went on to say, -one
of my companions, an apprentice TO hat
ter, having served out his time, was
was about TO open a shop for himself.
His first concern was to have a handsome
signboard with an appropriate inscrip-
ton. He composed IL | n these words.
John Thompson, halter. makes and sells
hats for ready money, with afgure Of n
hat subjOined.
But he thought he would submit the
inscription TO his friends for amend
ments. The first he showed it to thought
the word halter mere t~autology, be-
cause followed by the words makes
hats the word was struck out. The sec
ond objected TO the word makes The
buyer. he said. would not care who made
the hats If they were good and suited
him. That, too, was struck out. The
third thought for ready money useless
since nobody in the town sold for credit.
They were given up accordingly. The
inscription now stood. John Thompson
sells hats Sells hats I said the next
friend. why, nobody will expect you to
give them away Sells was abandoned,
and hats went with It as unnecessary,
since there was a hat painted ON the
board. So that the inscription was at
last reduced to John Thompson with
the figure of a hat Whether jefferson
was consoled by the story we are not in
formed. but il certainly did not cure him
OF the practice Of drawing up long pa
pers to be submitted to public bodies

Hut friendship itself, asking neither
money nor any other service, may easily
destroy its object by over devotion. Few
men have the courage that was formerly
attributed to Mr.. George Bancroft, who,
it was said. gave daily orders to n servant
Il admit no visitors until . o'clock; it being
his further custom, when the clock struck
two. TO go out for a walk. II is necessary
for men and women Ia decide whether
the world is TO be for them a busy place
or otherwise; and IL they once decide to
have it a busy one, it will probably grow
buster and buster for them mp 10 the end
Of their days.
In your youth, time seems elastic and
endless; and we have. as the Indian said,
all the time there is. In growing older,
we have. as Emerson says in his
Terminus, to make our choice 'twixt this
and thnt. IL would he very pleasant,
could we plan out a series OF successive
lives for successive worlds. TO devote
every other world to our friends and the
public, keeping each alternate world for
our work. But meanwhile it is n
perpetual problem how TO divide our
time between these objects in this world,
and how 10 give each the lions share

The most extensive explorations were
made 10y the British expedition on the
Challenger" which returned home in
1876 after three and a half years of in
vestigation in all the ocean BY this
famous expedition thousands of new
organisms were discovered, in all locali-
ties and ut all depths in the sea. and have
been OF are now being described by
specialists In all quarters OF the world.
There seems 10 be no part of the e
bed so deep, 80 dark, so still, or where
the pressure is so great rs to have ef-
~fectually raised a barrier TO life in some
of its many forms. Even in the greater
depths all the great divisions OF the
animal kingdom are represented.
Descending into the deeper waters, and
proceeding further seawanl from the
borders of the continents, species and
individuals become fewer and fewer. till
a minimum is reached in the greatest
depths farthest from continental land.
In the adaptation Of organism II deep
sea conditions curious notifications have
occurred, such as the disappearance or
enlargement Of the eyes. the clongation
Of fins and %antenne, the increase in size
and decrease in number OF c.scl. aud the
development Of phosphprss-pni organs.

l wa talking TO Mr.. Joseph Nimmo,
who has been on the commissian upon
the line Of the Northern Pacific railroad
10 look at the OF the country
there. He told me hat there would be
n huge empire in the west, reaching from
western Dakota to the Rocky mount
aims, and covering Wyoming territory
and a part of Montana. He says that
agriculture out there will be under en-
tirely novel conditions. There is plenty
of water 10 put on the soil by irrigating
organization, and this water will be
more reliable than the rains in the east.
because it will never disappear. and can
be thoroughly regulated, but it can not
be provided by the individual farmer,
and must be let 10 him with water rates.
Capital will find its highest and best
form of investment there. but the nature
Of the agriculture will be different from
the i~ndividualism OF the east. At the
present time that country is full of cattle
in the midst of winter, who are keeping
themselves warm by filling their bellies.
The country on the Northern Pacific is
rather milder in climate than the high
knoblands ON the Union Pacific railroad.
Its elevation is lower. as a be proved
by steamers going as far up M Fort
Benton, on the Missouri river. Mr..
Nimmo thinks that this interior of the
United States, brought to perfection by
engineering skill and applied capital, viii

Mr.. William Ford is q notable instance
Of the benefits Of the gymnasium in saw
ing and prolonging life. He contracted
rheumatism in the campaign around
Nashville, where he led a colored regi-
ment. The hardships Of the campaign
increased his sufferings so that he was
finally compelled to give up his com
inand. He never recovered from tho
effects, and was finally advised by his
physician To put all his earthly affairs
in order for the seemingly inevitable
fatal result.
Shortly after the wal he had tried the
gymnasium and experienced some benc-
fit from daily exercise, and resolved.
before despairing of a cure, TO try a sys-
teinntic course. He was at this time
in the summer OF 1S63-about 90
years Of age, and so crippled with rheu-
tiIm that he could hardly mount the
stairs or raise his hands to his head.
while his days were full of suffering.
Ii was in August that the airily-attircl
members practicing at the apparatus
were surprised by the apparition Of a
feeble old man, all swathed in red flan-
mel among them. He put himself under
charge, and the daily practice began
with great care. He p~ersevered, and in
a few weeks his joints were more flexi-
BILE and his muscles gathered volume
and power.
To-day Mr.. Ford is able TO skin the

rings, walks ON his hands under the
bridge-ladder, avoids no form of exer-
else which the class goes through, and
