Wonderful Manifestation Of Canine Intel.
ligence In Claiming Property.
By far the most interesting part OF
this hunt to me is yet to come. The
voices of the two dogs as they passed
along the mountain had been recog-
nlzed by their owner, and both claimed
the deer. Such things have been known
to cause bitter feud. One was sure
it was his dog and the other was just
as sure it was his; but the question of
most Importance to be settled was,
which of the dogs started the deerp
The deer was brought on shore and
laid on the green sward, where even
the ladies, gentle creatures, admired
it. Soon the boat arrived with the two
dogs, and one Of the old hunters cried
out: Send those hounds up here and
let us see whose deer this isp" Never
having heard so strange story, /, half
in doubt, said: "What nonsense is that
you are talking?" mo nonsense, doc
tor; wait and see."
Being deeply interested I approached
closely that I might better observe the
animals. One OF them walked up to
the deer, smelt him all over and seemed
quite in doubt. Then the other dog
came up with an angry growl, smelt
the deer and deliberately laid himself
down by the animal, while the first
dog quietly placed his tail between his
legs and walked away. / could not
help expressing my amazement, and
still doubling the fact I said to my old
guide: THAT dog that is lying by the
deer has been the master OF the other
and has cowed him." "On the con-
trary," said my iniormer, 'the dog
that gave up the deer is the better
fighter and whips that dog every time"
We learned during the day that the
deer had been started ten miles down
the river by the dog that claimed it,and
the sound Of his voice drew the other
one, about four miles below the lake;
confirming the test and proving the
wonderful instinct Of the hound. For

SEA-GUlLS IN WINTER.
A Beautiful Sight Frequently Visible fl
Rnsfnr Ha rbor,

A Beautiful Sight Frequently Visible in
Boston Harbor!
In the ice-time, when many days
and nights of bitter cold have filled
the harbor with drift-ice, the gulls
walk about upon the smooth white
surface with evident satisfaction. The
seals lift brown heads to peer over
the edge with wondering baby-faces,
and drag their soft, shapeless bodies
to a perch beside the gulls A gull
and seal riding off to sea on d block
of ice, in serene and contented COM
panionship, one sometimes sees. |
have very pleasant memory of cer-
tain stately, solemn gull once saw
admiring himself in a pond of water
that lay in an ice-block. The water
was very dark all round the ice, and the
tide was carrying the ice out 10 sea.
drifting its pretty freight part buoys
and beacons and passing vessels. The
gull shifted from one foot to another,
keeping one warm under his plumage,
while he balanced himself on the
other little pink foot which rested on
the bare ice.
With head bent this way and that,
se arranged his feathers, looking into
the little pond-mirror before him. He
took q sip OF water, and still another,
having lost all fear of men and eager
ness for food, in full enjoyment of this
happy hour of gull-hood. A steamer
passed SO close as almost to crush the
little ice-craft into its wheels-but the
gull did not finch or look up. Though
the raft tipped easily in the wake OF
the steamer, and the swell rolled over
it, even then he did not put down his
tucked-up foot. At last, in the climax
of restfulness of soul and body, he
nestled down on the ice, and rested his
soft white breast on the cold slab with
out shivering. ........
They are SO often quite alone in their
rest or amusement that they have about
them dignity and reserve quite PEE
culiar to themselves. .--Louie Lyndon,

EXIT LAUGHING GAS.
The Electrical Method of Extracting Teeth
without Pain.

The Electrical Method of Extra citing Tooth
without Pain.
Boston people nowadays have their
superfuous teeth drawn by means of
electricity. Inasmuch as all new ideas
in the arts and sciences are spread from
this enlightened metropolis originally,
and from hence extended over the
country, there is little doubt that SOON
er or later this new method will SUPER
sede laughing-gas and ether in other
big cities OF the Union. The process
in question is very simple, scarcely any
apparatus being required beyond an
ordinery two-cell battery, with vibrator
attachment. This attachment is thin
strip Of metal, fastened at the ends,
which is made to vibrate thousand
or more times per second by the cleo
trio current. At each vibration the
circuit is cut of and renewed again,
the effect being to give a perfectly
steady flow Of the mysterious fluid. In
order to make sure that the flow is
quite satisfactory the operator tunes
the machine-assisted by little red
reed tuning-pipe-until the strip Of
metal sings "a" So far, so good.
Now, to the battery are attached
three wires. Two Of them have han
dies at the ends, and the third is
hitched to forceps. The patient in
the chair Is given handle to hold In
each hand, and the current is turned
on gradually until it becomes painful.
Then he is told to grasp the handles
as strongly as possible, the electricity
having been switched of for mo-
ment--is turned on again suddenly,
and the dental surgeon applies his for
ceps simultaneously TO the tooth. The
instant the molar Is touched, it, as we'll
as the parts surrounding. becomes
electrified and absolutely insensible to
pain. When It is withdrawn from the
socket, the subject Of the operation
feels not the slightest disagreeable
sensation. A jerk and the tooth is
out, the patient drops the handles and
the affair IL over. Boston Letter.

Cruelty to a Father.

One Of Jones' peculiarities is never
to admit that he is feeling we'll. No
matter what species Of suffering you
are undergoing, the form his sympa-
thy invariably takes is this: "rve
felt just so."
The other day he came home sick
too sick to go down to his supper. So
it was sent up to his room by Mrs.
Jones, who had prepared it herself.
Among other delicacies were six new
laid eggs, boiled to suit him. One Of
the children stayed with him and
watched the egg-eating with interest.
As Jones took up the sixth and last
egg, the little fellow reached out his
hand.
LET me have 1t, papa"
Jones glared at the child, then he
said huskily:
"Take it, eat It, unnatural child,
and let your poor sick father starve!"
Tommy ate the egg.--DetroH Frss

Decline Of the Cigar.

II Is q fact which will astonish a
great many people that cigar-smoking
is on the decline in this country. Tho
Cigarmakers' Journal says that during
the month Of August the number Of
cigars manufactured here was SO, 1885,.
437, against "A, 433, 100 during the same
month in 1887, q decrease Of 5,247, ,66S
cigars. Since January /, 1883, $685..
l78,019 cigars have been made in New
York, decrease Of 18,928,587 com.
pared with tho output for the same
length Of time in 1887. The sad truth
is brought to light that the popularity
Of cigarettes is on the increase, while
cigars are slowly giving way before
their pernicious rivals. ~ J, World
