NIPPED IN THE BUD.

Two horses attached to an express wagon
were left standing unhitched yesterday on
Douglas near Topeka avenue. They waited
some time for the driver, and becoming i'm
patient started west under full head of
steam. The driver appeared on the scene
about that tine, and being in good running
order was soon in the wagon testing the
strength of the reins. He succeeded in stop
ing them before running far or any damage
was done

A NEW HOTEL.

A few days ago gentleman arrived from
the east with the purpose of looking over the
hotel capacity of the city. His observations
so far have led him to believe that another
good house in addition to those we now have
and the one building can find good trade.
He has not yet decided definitely on the mat
ter, but if he comes he promises a first-class
hotel with all the latest improvements. He
has decided upon his location provided he
builds, but desires that that matter be al
lowed to remain sub rosa for the present, to-
gether with some other particulars.

Damp Beds.

The London Lancet, referring to the
death of Mr. Maas, the well known tenor.
calls attention to the peril Of sleeping in
a damp bed. As a matter of fact. this
peril is of the greatest, and it is almost
eyer-prescnt. The experienced traveller
rarely hazards the risks of sleeping be-
tween sheets, which are nearly sure to
be damp, until they have been aired un-
der his personal supervision at fire in
his bed room. Ifthis be impractcable,
he wraps his rug around him, or pulls
out the sheets and sleeps between the
blankcts-a disagrecable but often pru-
dent expcdicnt. The dircst mischief may
result from the contact Of an imperfcctly
heated body with sheets which retain
moisture. The body heat is not sufficient
to raise the temperature Of the sheets to a
safe point, and the result must be disas-
trous in the extreme If, as is sure TO hap
pen, the skin be cooled by contact with
surface colder than itself and steadily
abstracting heat all the night through.
There is no excuse for the neglect Of
proper precaution to insure dry beds.
Servants are never to Be trusted in this
matter, and the managers of hotels even
OF the best description, are singularly
careless in respect to it-Scieatjfc ADer-

Some Historic Dogs.

AT time when dogs, especially metro
politan dogs, are somewhat under
cloud, saws writer in AL the Iear
Round, it may be well to recall some OF
the claims of our old friend to respect
and esteem. Every one remembers the
dog of Ulysses, who died in greeting his
master, Just returned from his long wand
erings, and the story shows the consider
alton in which the dog was held in the
heroic ages Of Greece. The old Perslans,
too, held the dog in high esteem; to the
Magians he was a sacred animal, the rep
resentative and friend of Ormuzd the
Bencficent, and the great satraps were
distinguished by their trains Of hunting
dogs, as was the King himself, and Ner-
xes set ont for the conquest of Greece
surrounded by a great body guard OF
faithful dogs. Those most highly priced
by the Pcrsians came from India, social
ed probably from the Bactrian reg"is,
where the dog is still held in high rcprr2.
Captain Woods tells us that the old fash
ioned Uzbeg would think it no insult to
be asked to sell his wife, but would re-
sent an offer for his dog as an :mprdon-
able affront, while among the border
tribes of Turkestan the epithet of the
| dog-seller is one of the profoundest con
tempt. Indeed, the birthplace Of ma
tions is probably the original home ol
the dog, and when our Aryan ancestors
began to migrate westward from theil
ancient seats with their flocks and herd'
they brought with them, no doubt, theil
fierce and faithful dogs, who have lef
their descendants of to-day, the Engisl
mastiff, the Pyrenean sheep dog, the AL
bantam wolf-hound Ancient laws, too
record the estimation in which the dog
was held: "a herd dog that goes fo
the sheep in the morning and follow
them home at night is worth the bes
OK, say the ancient laws of Wales.
The best herd dogs of the present day
perhaps, are the Breton sheep dogs
rough, shaggy, uncouth-with an aspec
as if they lad little Of the blood o
bruin in their veins, but highly value'
by their possessors, who are not to b
tempted into parting with them by an
thing under the price Of the best OK; an
the Breton dog is one Of the most sag
cious Of his kind, watching and tendin
his flock with an almost incredible zei
and devotion
