An Intelligent Dog,

A large dog at one Of the Scranton
hotels became very much attached to one
Of the boarders. He got in the habit Of
following this man in his leisure walks
up town, and the boarder liked to have
him along. But on rainy day the dog
didn't see the man start out, and the lat
ter had got around the corner before the
dog caught sight of him. The big dog
was 30 tickled when he saw that his old
companion was not far away that he
dashed up and rubbed his great wet side
against the gentleman's good clothes
That was form Of boisterous familiari-
ty not to be put up with, and the man
spoke harshly to the dog and drove him
back. The dogs sensitive nature resent
ed this unkind treatment, for from that
Gay to this the man has never been able
to get the dog to walk out with him, al
though he has done everything he could
think Of to win back the dogs friend
ship. He followed the man once, but he
did it much against his will and only
after his owner had ordered him to- 1t
was thought the spell had been broken,
but it hadn't, and he has refused to &C
company the man except when his mas
ter has commanded him to.
Another illustration of the dogs intel
ligence is told by the same gentleman
The dogs owner and he were In the
reading room one day when the dog

won't mention his name or make any
motions" said the landlord to his board
er, referring to the dog, "but I'll say
something to you in an ordinary tone,
and see if he will notice it," Then the
landlord added, al think his place is
behind the desk In front of the safe, in
stead Of in this room" The dog seemed
to pay no attention to what had been
said. but be got up right away, walked
slowly through the long hall, pushed the
gate open back Of the desk and lay down
in front Of the safe.-Scranton Special to

Joy, shame. disaster, passion, love and grief
Pray what are these to him who stands alone
Within the desert of shadowy world,
And marks the shadow Of his own life fall
Across the sands thar hold no footprint yet.

The widest margin Of the earth and sky;
And yet he questions: is be grain Of sand,
Or shadow vague, amid the shadows there,

In n Hurry to "Wash Up."

There are few things that destroy the
pleasure Of witnessing dramatic repre-
sentation more than the hasty moving Of
the characters from their positions be-
fore the curtain has quite reached the
floor, at the end Of an act. You see a
villain shot down and killed instanter.
You see him make one conyulsive move
ment and then straighten out, very
dead corpse. You think to yourself:
"Well, thank heaven, he is done for"
There are perhaps a few words from the
leading man, who, with his smoking pis-
tol in his hand, takes the heroine TO his
bosom. Then the curtain falls TO slow
music. The bottom of the curtain is
perhaps two feet from the stage, when
the corpse begins to pull itself together,
preparatory to rising. Now, how can
you believe that the villain is disposed
of, and that he will not exercise a dis.
turbing influence upon the fortunes of
the hero and heroine in future, when you
know that he was only pretending TO be
dead! II is not only corpses that offend
in this way. Live people, when they
have grouped themselves in an effective
tableau. should not allow the audisnca Tn

A few days ago horse attached TO an
express wagon went racing past the
Grand Pacific. The animal had evil
IDENTIFY been feeding and became fright
ened, for he had no bit in his mouth and
his bride hung on his neck. As the run
away rushed furiously across Clark
street and west on jackson young lad
jumped forward, caught the tailboard of
the wagon and climbed in. He had no
sooner got there than tho vehicle struck
cab and careened sufficiently to throw
tho boy out. He picked himself up
quickly and climbed back once more into
the wagon. While the horse was still
running at full speed the boy ventured
out on to the shafts. reached the horses
head and managed to stop the animal
just before Fifth avenue was reached.
Two policemen stood on tho corner of
Jackson and Clark and saw the horse
rush by, but made only slight efforts to
check him. For all this one of the bold
bluecoats said to the other: THAT was a
brave attempt you made to stop that
horse, jim; your life was In danger

true; and | never would have had the

Plain Words About Pcking.

Above all other characteristics, how

horrible prominence, and have put this
off to the last. Not to mention it would
be to willfully omit the most striking
color of the picture. mean its filth. II
is the most horribly and indescribably
filthy place that can be imagined. In
deed, imagination must fall far short of
the fact Some of the daily sights of the
pedestrian in Peking could not hardly
be more than hinted at by one man to
another in the smoking room. There is
no sewer or cesspooi, public or private,
but the street; the dog, tho pig and the
fowl are the scavengers; every now and
then you pass a man who goes along,
tossing the most loathsome Of the refuse
into an open work basket on his back;
the smells are simply awful; the city Is
one colossal and uncleansed cloaca. As
have said above, the first OF the two
moments Of delight vouchsafed to every
visitor to the Celestial capital is his first
sight Of it. The second-though l must
not omit to thank my too kind host for

The most violent hurricanes originate
In the tropical latitudes; in the Atlantic
ocean, to tho north or east OF the West
Indian Islands; and in the Pacific, in the
China seas, and the neighborhood of the
Philippine Islands. AS the West Indian
cyclones follow the course of the gulf
stream, SO the typhoons Of the Pacific
follow the course Of the great oceanic
current which passes round the East
Indian archipelago, the shores of China
and the japanese Islands. A more con-
tinuously rough and stormy part Of the
ocean does not, perhaps, exist than that
in the neighborhood of the Shetland
Isles at the north Of Scotland, where the
German and Atlantic oceans meet, and
where the currents are both rapid and
dangerous. The most variable weather
is, however, experienced off Honolulu,
Sandwich Islands. New York Telegram.

Making a Picture window.

The search for material ended, the
work of construction may begin. Two
duplicate copies Of tho cartoon are first
made. One operation suffices TO accom-.
plish this The cartoon is Laid on a large
table, and beneath it are two sheets Of
similar paper and two sheets Of ordinary
black transfer paper arranged alter
nately. by passing a small revolving
wheel over the outlines of the cartoon,
the tracings are quickly and accurately
made. Each space is then numbered
correspondingly on both tracings, and
one Of them is cut up TO make patterns
for the glass cutter. An ingenious dis
secting instrument is used for this pur.
pose. II consists Of pair Of double
edged shears. which, in cutting, removes
a strip Of paper just the width Of the
lead which will separate the fragments
of glass when they are finally bound to-
gether. In this way each pattern is pre-
cisely the size required. When the glass
is ready to be put together In the win
dow there is very little coaxing 10 be
done TO get it into place.
The picture window has now reached
the most critical stage in its develop
ment The paper patterns are to find
suitable counterparis in glass, and upon
the nicely with which this substitution
Is accomplished depends the effect Of the
entire work. Nothing is left undone that
will assist the glass cutter in forming
correct color judgments. Throughout
the entire process, and here particularly,
the work progresses under precisely those
conditions that are best calculated to
make surprises and incongruities impos-
sible when the whole shall be completed.

q fresh egg, and, after blowing out the
contents. close one end with a bit Of seal
ing wax. Cut two pieces Of cloth In the
shape OF the body of fish, and sew them
together ON the edges, 30 as to make
pointed bag. Put some sand into this
for ballast. The mouth OF the bag must
be exactly the size Of tho egg. which IL TO
be fastened into It with sealing wax or
glue, TO form the head Of the fish. Hav-
ing prepared it In this way. paint two
eyes on tho egg with black paint, and
tho magic fish is ready TO be put into a
jar Of water. The weight Of the sand In
the bag must be such that the fish will
float ON the surface II left to itself. but
80 that very light touch will cause 1t
to sink. Cover the jar tightly with a
piece Of india rubber, or any other water
proof flexible substance. When hand
is laid ON the covering the pressure
transmitted to the liquid will cause
little water to enter the egg, and the fish
will dive; the heavier the pressure the
more quickly it will plunge. Remove
the pressure from tho india rubber and
the compressed air in the egg will force
il out of the water and the fish will come
to the surface again.-Christian Union.

II takes about two-fifths of second to

average Of one-third Of a second to add
numbers containing one digit and half u
second to multiply them. Such expert
