A Good Dog Story.
Boston Advertiser,

Reading recently of a dog that had
fondness for collecting wood. and that
had formed pile of all sorts of wood,
called to mind a setter pup I once had
He was so young when brought to the
house that he had to be fed with the bot
tie like baby. AS he grew older he was
put in the kennel with a collie dog, to
whom he became strongly attached. The
Collie wss kept chained, but the little
setter had free range. One day the pup
py was nowhere to be seen, but later he
came up the hill with an empty condens-
edmilk can and set it up in front of the
kennel. He again disappeared and soon
returned with another can which he
placed close to the first. This perfor-
nance was continued by the little fell
low until there were we're five cans placed
in a straight line, one touching the other
My curiosity at the pups strange doings
led me to follow him. He went to shall
low pit some distance away from the
house, where empty cans were thrown;
and searched among them until he found
another milk-can, which he carried rath-
er YEARLY up the hill. Having first as
sured myself that there were no more
milk-cans. I waited for the dogs return
to see what he would do. He made a
great clatter among the cans, but found
none of the sort he wanted. Then he
came to me whining, as if to say: ''Find
me another can," but when he saw I
could not help him he went off to his be-
loved collie, looked at the row of cans,
and then coaxed the large dog out of the
kennel. His delight was great when the
collie knocked over the cans as he walk
ed to the end of his chain. Then he set
them up again and sat down, looking the
picture of content. The cans were taken
away and put back to the pit. The next
day the same performance was repeated.
Afterward [ had the milk-cans hid to see
whether the puppy would bring others.
He searched for them, but, not finding
Them would not touch the others. When,
however, the milk-cans were put back
again he once more brought them to his
friend with joyful tail-wagging. 1t GER
tainly was singular performance, and
would seem to indicate that the puppy
had an eye for form and size. 1t was
very strange, too, that he always arrang
ed them in a straight line.

Bill Nye's Cruel Joke.

In 1879, while Hayford was postmaster
er of Laramie City, he attended the re-
publican territorial convention at Raw
Inns and left Nye in editorial charge of
the Sentinel.
''Hayford,'' said friend, as the former
stepped from the train at Laramie, ibid
you hear about the shortage in the Lara
ME postoffice?"
NO! What about it,"
'The Sentinel says there's $500 short
age in your accounts"
in my accounts gasPed the good
deacon.
'sYes.''
'Impossible sir"
But the Sentinel gives dates and figures
celebrating its statements"
''Does the Sentinel my paper do
that"
"Yes, your paper"
The deacon rushed to the office and ex-
amined the last issue. There sure enough,
in cold type, and in his paper, was the
startling announcement of the shortage
in Laramie postoffiee.
1t was one of Williams delica te jests,
and it amused Laramie, but Nye found 1T
convenient to take his turn at carrying
the jug through North park.

Hints on Reading.
Culver.

The readers Coleridge has divided into
four classes. He says, 1.-THE frst-class of
readers may be compared to an hour
glass; their reading being as the sand: it
runs in and runs out, and leaves not a
vestige behind. A second class resembles
a sponge, which imbibes everything and
returns it in neaaly the same state. A
third class is like jelly-bag. which al
lows all that is pure to pass away, and re-
tains only the refuse aid dregs. The
fourth class may be compared to the slave
of Golgonda, who, casting aside all that
is worthless, preserves only the pure
genius
1t is to be feared that in the present
day the greatest number of readers be-
long to the first of these classes. The
amount read is something almost fabul-
Gus, but the results are comparatively
trifing. Volume after volume is perused;
pamphlets and papers are mentally con-
sumed, but the stores of knowledge are
not perceptibly increased. This charge
lies only against those who read secular
works. it applied to too great an extent
to those why read the Scriptures and
other things divine. Lord Bacon once
said that reading makes full man."
He could not have meant the kind of
reading that is now toe, prevalent. The
omnivorous readers, the readers who skim
through page after page; the butterfly
readers, who taste flowers OF literature

A SALTY WONDER.
The Big Geyser That ImpregnateS Pine Creek
near PittSburg, Pa.


Pittsburg Commercial Gazette.
One of the greatest wonders of the
world, and yet paratively unknown,
is the we'll which for the past sixteen
years has been flowing almost pure salt
at the rate of $4,000 gallons per day. It
is located near the Etna borough, along
Pine creek, just opposite the city. The
history of the we'll was related to a Com
mercial Gazette reporter yesterday by Mr..
j. L. Robertson, of the firm of Spang,
Chalfant & Co., whose large steel works
are located in close proximity to the well.
He said that in the spring of 1872 the
firm decided to sink well to secure ma
tural gas to run their works, and the con
tract was given to Chalfant & Graft At
a depth of 1920 feet a salt water vein was
struck. Shortly after the tools were lost
and after fishing" for them for seven
months they were caught. The well was
then drilled to depth of $500 feet, when
the tools got lost again and after spend
ing five months in unsuccessful attempts
to recover them it was decided to aban-
don the well.
SIXTY BARRELS AN HoUs FOR SIXTEEN YEARS
A strong vein of gas was found at a
depth of 1900 feet, but there was so much
salt water that it could not find its way
out. It's pressure was no great, however
that the salt water was forced up nearly
ninety feet in the air.
For seven years this salt water continued
its flow at the rate of sixty barrels per
hour-sometimes more and sometimes
less, but never falling short of fifty bar
aels. 1t swelled the little brook at its side
to good sized creek, and thence poured
into the Allegheny river. Itwas so strong
in chloride of sodium as to kill all the
fish that came within certain limits of the
place where it entered the river.
The idea of utilizing the water seems
not to have entered any ones mind until
about five years after the well began to
flow. Several capitalists then conceived
the plan of extracting the chloride of So
dunn from the water and manufacturing
salt. For some reason the scheme fell
through then, but two years later com
pany was formed which established the
second largest salt-works in the United

AlchOhOI in Everything.
Philadelphia News.

The amount of alchohol present varies
greatly in the several liquors in which it
forms the intoxicating Ingredient, rum
containing about 70 per cent.
Whisky and brandy contains about so;
port 20; sherry, ID to "a.
Madeira, 10; claret, 16: champagne, IA;
cider, 6; ales and porter from to II.
All fermented drinks contain alchol,
ginger beer, etc., usually containing from
to 8 per cent. of it.
Total abstinence from alcohol would
seem almost an impossibility, for even
milk contains small quantities of it.
In bread-making alcohol is produced
in considerable quantities by the action
of the yeast upon the sugar in the -four;
the aggregate amount of spirit thus pro-
duced in London being some three hun
dred thousand gallons annually.
Some chemists go the length of assert
ing that even water itself is not entirely
free from it.

States, making about 80 barrels of salt
SOME WONDERFUL FIGURING.

States, making about 80 barrels of salt
daily.
SOME WONDERFUL FIGURING.
After all the salt had been taken from
the water it goes through a process which
extracts the bromine, which forms a large
proportion of the character of the water
from the well. This is very valuable
medicinal product.
When the water leaves the latter works
it would be perfectly pure and tasteless
were it not for the acids, etc., used in ex-
tracing the salt and bromine.
The amount of water coming from the
well to-day is as great as when it was
struck sixteen years ago. peculiar fea-
ture is that of some days for period of
about an hour the well becomes unusually
agitated and the pressure simply terrific,
requiring the strongest kind of joints and
casing to hold the water.
1t is almost impossible to comprehend
the amount of water this we'll draws from
the bowels of the earth. In sixteen years,
at the rate of $4,000 gallons per day, it
would have thrown off 203, 104, 400 gallons
of water.
This water, if placed in barrels each
containing forty gellons, would fill 5O,796
ordinary freight cars, making a train
nearly 900 miles long, or almost twice the
distance from Pittsburg to Chicago.
