Next morning she tucked them all away
again as before, and with bag and apron and
watering pot, and leading the thirteen dogs
on string, she started for the railway sta
ton. A policeman escorted her through the
streets to see that no harm came to her OF the
thirteen dogs Oh string, At the railway
waiting room the station master said:
"You can't come in here with those dogs"
But 20 in she would. She was nervous rs she
did so, and little excited, and in her haste
she dropped the bag that held ten pups. 1t
Immediately began to kick and wigSle around
like hcadless live thing, and from it came
such cries as though a:aozcn babies were be-
ing murdered. The thirteen dogs on n string
jumped at the bag, wagging their tails and
bowling too. For few minutes nobody could
hear anything but those dcmoniac dog yells
Then Miss Loretta gathered up both her
courage and her bag full of puppies again,
and explained that she must deliver the set
tiers to the man who had bought them. After
that she waited in peace in the passengers
room for the train.
She had to charter a whole baggage car all
TO her twenty-nine dogs and herself, though,
before she could set them safe on their
journey. The station master offered to take
them in the freight car for :1.25. But Miss
Loretta thought that was not a stylish enough
way for her family to travel, 50 she got the
baggage cor.

A Lone yyoman's DOGS.

Miss Loretta Wilkins was very fond OF
dogs. She had not much else to care for, so
she set her heart on them. 1t is better to
care for q dog than for nothing at all.
Miss Loretta had large family of pets,
and took care of them all herself They were
us much trouble as half dozen babies would
have been. But their mistress did not think
of that, and besides she had no babies to caro-
for. If she had had she would soon have
found out how much nicer pets little children
mako than anything else. Babies arc the
boss pets, every time.
By and by Miss Loretta's family became
nearly as large rs that of the old woman who
lived in her shoe. She had so many dogs, she
didn't know what to do If they kept on in
creasing at such rates they would soon eat
her out of house and home. and then, getting
hungry, might eat her up, too.
She resolved to sell dozen or so of them.
She had thirteen settlers, which are good hunt
ing dogs. Several Of these had good-sized
families of children, SO that there were twenty
nine of the setter tribe in ALL Miss Loretta
at length found out where man lived who
wanted a whole pack of settlers. Hc kept a
kennel, and bred and trained dogs for sale.

they wcrc brought to him. Being plucky
woman, though she was little and very thin,
Miss Loretta resolved to gather her dogs and
60 travelling. She tied the thirteen dogs
that could walk to q string, one after an
other, tall and short, grown and half grown.
Then she gathered the rest-six in her apron
and ten in bag-and with watering pot
upon her arm set out.
In New York the officer of police station
was walked from bis sleep one night by the
most uncommon sound Of barks, whincs and
yelps that he ever did hear. He jumped a
foot high and then came down again, rubbed
his sleepy eyes open and found before him
little woman and twenty-nine dogs.
Miss Loretta, all anxiety and apologies told
him she had como to stay all night with him
at the police station. She had missed her
train she said, and did not know what else to
do The good natured officers let her dogs
stay in the corridor till morning. They Of
fered to fix bed for the queer little woman.
But no. She would sit up all night with her
pets, she said, and sit up she did. How they
barked and howled! She let the pups out of
the BAG and apron during the night

as being public servants" and SO they
are; but their servitude has some limi-
tations, as the postmaster who received

throwing it in the fire.
DEAR SIR: Please to write as soon

Mcandering.

A city girl writes: ct is a fond dream
OF mine to become farmers wife, and
meander with him down life's fowery
pathway" All, yes, that is nice thing
to dream about, but when you have
lived on the farm and followed this
meandering business for q month or SO,
you will discover wide chasm between
the dream and the realty. You will
think of this about the time your
husband meanders of and leaves you
without wood. and you have to meander
up and down the lane pulling splinters
off the fence with which to cook dinner.
And when you meander around in the
wet clover in search of the cows, you
will have dim perception that fond
dreams do not always pan out hundred
cents on the dollar, and that there are
several meanderings in farm life that
are not listed in the dreaming category.
The meandering business on the farm
is not what it is cracked up to be-

stroy them. It il . species of fungus
which affects both the wood and the
fruit. The first cause of this disease is
believed by some to be the long-con-
tinued practice of renewing. or rather
propagating, trees from cuttings in
stead of the seed. The wood has thus
become old and has gathered up dis
eases that it is very difficult to cure.
1t is claimed by some that the new
seedlings are exempt from disease; but
if set in the vicinity of diseased trees
there would be danger that they would
not be able to ward off the disease,
however healthy they might be when
transplanted. The diseased trees may
be improved by cutting off all the dis
eased wood and burning it.

Secondhand Germans.

Sad as it is to confess it, the truth
must be told, that our beasts and
birds, our plants and flowers, are for
the most part of purely Teutonic
origin. Even as the rude and hard
hearted Anglo-Saxon has driven the
gentle, poetical and imaginative Celt
ever westward before him into the hills
and the sea, so the rude and vigorous
Germanic beasts and weeds have driven
the gentler and softer southern types
into Wales and Cornwall, Galway
and Connemara. It is to the Central
European population that we owe or
owed the red deer, the wild boar, the
bear, the wolf, the beaver, the fox, the
badger, the otter, and the squirrel.
1t is to the Central European fora that
we owe the larger part of the most
familiar plants in all Eastern and
Southeastern England. They crossed
in bands over the old land belt before
Britain was finally isolated, and they
have gone on steadily ever since, with
true Teutonic persistence, overrunning
the land and pushing slowly westward,
like all German bands before or since,
to the detriment and discomfort of the
previous inhabitants. Let us humbly
remember that we are all of us at bot
tom foreigners alike, but that it is the
Teutonic English, the people from the
old Low Dutch fatherland by the Elbe,
who have finally given to this isle its
name of England, and to every one of
us, Celt or Teuton, his own Teutonic
name of Englishmen. We are at best,
as an irate Teuton once remarked.
"nozzing but secondhand Chermans. +"
In the words of distinguished philol-
ogist of our own blood, English is

The AcrOpelis Plan.

The coming man, who, according to
DR.. w. A. Hammond, will soon be as
bald as Mormon patriarch, ought to
take personal interest in an expert
ment by which the citizens of Chatta-
nooga, Tenn, are trying to solve the
summer problem of the lower lati-
tudes. Not every business man of the
sunny South can afford to spend the
mosquito season on the Yellowstone
River, but cities blessed with the neigh
borhood of good-sized hill land Mo-
manned might remove to the mountain
if the mountain should refuse to move

find plenty of room higher up, at an
hour when tipulary insects begin to
crowd the atmosphere of the lower
valleys. On the Lookout plateau there
is room for thousand villas, and with
in a year that plateau will have become
the most accessible suburb of Chatta
nooga. Tramways will land passen,
gers at the foot of the mountain, from
where the trip to the clouds will be ac
complished in less time than foot pas

sixty-foot hillock. The city will ther
be divided into night and day town, &
health resort and business resort. The
sagacious natives of ancient Greece
seem to have known the advantages o.
that plan, for nearly every one of Their

An English Decision i'm Favor OF an
American Trademark.
From the New York Morning Journal


LONDON, ENGLAND, Aug. &c, 1885,
ESPECIAL BY CARLE)-In the chancery
division of the High Court of Justice,
London, Vice Chancellor Bacon has
given his decision in favor of The
CHARLES A. VoGELER COMPANY, of
Baltimore, Maryland, in the action
brought by that house against II.
Churchill * Co., of Brisbane, Queens
land. The case, which has been in
progress here since September, 1884,
grew out of an attempt of Churchill q
Company to register a trademark con-
tanning the words "St. Patricks Oil"
in connection with medicinal
preparation. This was promptly
opposed by the Vogelcr Company,
who, while admitting that the
term and device which were sought
to be registered by the Australian firm
we're in no respect identical to the we'll
known st. Jacobs Oil trademarks,
contended. however, that sufficient
s.milarits existed between the term St.
Patricks applied by Churchill q Co.
and st. Jacobs as used by the Vogeier
Co. TO cause confusion in the minds of
the public and lead to purchasers being
deceived. In support of this position
they submitted an overwhelming
amount of evidence from English,
American, and Australian sources, with
the result stated. Under the decision
of the court, Churchill & Co. cannot
register their mark and must pay costs
of the case. 1 his is the second trade
mark suit won by the Vogeler Com
pany in England within three years.
