A cnnnre Of Dog storioa.

Talking Of dogs, l should tell you that
London is celebrated for curious dogs. Here
are a couple of stories can vouch for. In
st, Martins lane there sits every day an old
blind man who lSnits nets. Between his feet
sits bright littls Scotch terrier. IL you toss
him penny he catches it deity in his mouth
and puts his nose in his owners hand. The
blind man utters his thanks and drops the
money in bag he wears around his neck.
In the evening the dog leads his master
home, and through some Of the most crowded
thoroughfares, too.
Nelson is the celebrated dog Of Seven
Dials lie is always pointed out to visitors
He got his name from having lost foot at
some disturbance at Trafalgar square. He
always buys his own food. When any one
gives Nelson a penny and he is hungry he
goes TO n butchers or bakers shop, as his
appetite dictates, and placing the coin on the
counter receives a piece of meat or a roll
If he has received more pennies than he
needs for the day he buries the surplus and
sits on his treasure all night / knew you
would laugh at that, for I did so until saw
him do it.-Marshau p. Wilder in New Yorl
Herald

How tl1e Word Is Fed.


ssEyen the Oldest and best informed
man IN the trade, said an experienced
salesman IN the grocery business, s'can
not begin to tell you any thing about
the wonderful extent of the traffic in
food. Figures don't seem to express
the thing so that any body can re-
a1ize how enormous the business is.
Now every body knows that corn makes
only small part OF what any body
eats. / mean by that, nobody eats
corn enough TO make it principal ar
tfcle OF diet Yet there is one estab-
{ fislassessss IA Mary yland-a corn factory,
they cal ft-where there are thousands
of cans Of corn a week put up and
sold New, consider that this is only
cnaestablishment out of hundreds in
this country, and thousands in the
world. where food is put up in cans.
Then think that corn is only one small
item Of food even among the canned
goods. And then remember that
canned goods are merely a fraction of
the food supply. and you will be ready
to acknowledge that tl,e fo5a indus
tries are 100 great TO be readily
grasped by the imagination. More
than three-fifths of all the workers OF
the world are engaged wholly in rails

All the articles which have been written
about ''thc books that have helped me.n
tacitly assume that what helps me will help
you, or that Brown, on learning where Jones
got his mental proven6er, will order home a
supply OF the same, and live on it. Nothing
can we'll be further from the truth. wher-
ever these articles do not crafty a harmless
vanity, they arc interesting simply as the
literary experience OF one moro or less re-
spectacle human being, and nothing more.
Every man who loves books and reads them,
and makes any good use of them, reads in the
limo of his own tastes and temperament and
pursuits. He is not, and for the most part
cannot be, hSped by another mans books,
supposing books to be nnything more than
repertorics of facts. all must, of course, go
to the same sources of information, or in
other words must consult the same books of
reference, out every man who reads for cul-
ture, or for encouragement or inspiration, or
power, must choose his own books Books
that have helped Brown iuny be interesting
to Jones, because he loves Brown and likes to
watch the working of his mind; but they
will not necessarily help Jones. In fact, the
time he spent ON them might be time utterly
wasted, unless there existed the closest simi-
larity i'll pursuits and in character between

THE OLD LIFe6oAT.
Tho old lifeboat

Tho old lifeboat,
With its work OF mercy done.
Left to crumble away on the shore,
To the heaping sand and the scoffing roar
OF the waves that nod on the CLASSY floor;
Left to parch in the summer sun,
To blacken and rot, for its course is run
The old lifeboat,
That used to float
Over the silver waves remote.
The old Ifeboat.
How 1t stood in service days!
cad in white with a star on its PROV
(But the star has set on its old side now),
And the coils of rope at the shapely bow;
Sturdy oars that were steady In place,
At cry of alarm ever ready to raise,
The old Hfeboat
We oft would note
Far on the sea like sunny mote.
The old ifeboati
By the lighthouse shadow long,
Salt winds whispering now through its cracks
MurInur over and over remembered facts
OF the purple calm and the tempest racks,
Sinking ships, and the booming st-cng,
The summon to save, and the anxS1us tllrong
Round tn old ifeboat,
Pushed of to float
Over the lashing waves remote
The old lifeboati
BY the shore and shifting tidei
There the dreamer will often delay,
And the lovers lean at the close of day,
And the seamen pause, and the children play.
Is it for naught that 1t should abidei
What matter It then though 1t be denied
Sae old lfeboat
Again to float
Over the silver waves remotei

sheep shearing, went to sleep on the
sitting-room couch after supper. Soon
he arose, walked out into the darkness,
went through four gates, which he
carefully closed, to the woodshed, and
then hung up his coat and took down
his sheep shears and sharpened them.
Then he caught a sheep and had just
finished shearing it when some of the
household came with lantern. Then
it tarned out that he had been asleep
ali the time, and the light of the lam
tern awakened him. The sheep was

zEarlz Twain, il his dry way upon occa-

among literary men IS not the liquor.
When man is dissipated his friends al
ways sag, Such q brilliant fellow if he
would only let liquor alone In time the
slrinlker gets credit for talents he never
scamed Of possessing. and there are
ny who try to pluck this brand from

offered t0-a dissipated man to reform and
earn good living are many more than
those open to the acceptance of a sober
aud Industrious young fellow. In fact
the sober and industrious are supposed to
