A Dogs BeneyOlence.

A dog in the neighborhood of Manches-
ter, England, has been distinguishing it
self in a marked degree. This is not
homeless cur, but a dog in easy circum-
stances, and owned bya kind and indul-
gent master. Too indulgent, the reader
may be disposed to think, when he is
told that every morning at lunch time
the creature is presented with penny,
which is carried in its mouth to the shop
of a baker, and there purchased biscuit.
1t happened, however, that the baker,
meeting the owner of the dog, mentioned
to him that it had not been for its biscuit
lately. This was unaccountable, and the
more so because the animals master had
remarked that during the past week or so
it had exhibited unusual impatience for
lunch time, endeavoring by caressing and
tail-wagging to obtain its luncheon
money before it was due. When it at
last received it it had never failed to run
off in a hurry, and after while return
without the coin, seemingly satisfied with
its investment.
The next morning after the baker had
made his communication to the gentleman,
the latter, after giving his dog the penny,
was curious to watch it. And 10 and be-
hold! it never went near the biscuit
! shop. Without an instant's delay ii
fastened to a tripe sellers, and there
bought and paid for a neat and tempting
skewering of ''paunch." But it was not fol
its own eating. With cheerful alacrity
it took the meat in its mouth and made
for an empty house, and to the cellar
thereof, and being closely followed, the
benevolent creature was discovered in the
act of delivering its precious pennywortt
to poor miserable tyke, stranger tc
the neighborhood, and apparently of tho
tramp" species. Evidently it had been
taken ill ON the road, and probably
would have died in the cellar into which
it had crawled for shelter, had it not
been for the kind commiseration of the
other dog, who probably quite by acci
dent had found it there.

tience with either horses or driver,
especially as Florence and Waiter looked
so provokingly loving and happy upon
the rear seat.
Home was reached at last, however,
and the somewhat irate driver reined in
his smoking horses in front of the house.
Frank sprang to the sidewalk and never
dreamed of aiding Walter; but Florence
by this time was well able to help herself.
1t was not very late when they entered
the house, and Franks latchkey dis
pensed with bcll-ringing and servants.
"Wait a moment in the parlor," said
Frank, "while / call Mable."
And so saying, but with big weight
upon his heart, Frank pushed onward to-
ward the sitting-room. As he threw
open the door before him, however, he
was suddenly confronted by a lady in
full travelling costume, and u glance be-
yond showed him a marvellous array of
trunks and travelling bags.
"Mable, my dear
A gloved hand held out toward him a

"Yes, Mable; here / am, safe and

ALITTLE LIGHT.

Twas but little light she bore,
While standing at the open door;
A little light, feeble spark
And yet it shone out through the dark
With cheerful ray, and cleaned afar
As brightly as the polar star.
A little light, gentle hint
That falls upon the page Of print
May clear the vision, and reveal
The precious treasures doubts conceal,
And guide us TO an open door
Where we new.regions may explore.
A little light dispels the gloom
That gathers in the sbadowed room
Where want and sickness find their prey
And night seems longer than the day,
And hearts with many troubles cope
Uncheered by one slight ray Of hope.
o. sore the need that some must know
While journeying through this vale Of woe
Dismayed, disheartened, gone astray,
Caught in the thickets by the way,
For lack Of just little light
To guide their wandering steps Alright.
IL may be little we can do
To help another it is true;
But better is little spark
OF kindness, when the way is dark,
Than one should miss the road to heaven
For lack of light we might have given.

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
TITS VERY MEAN TO STEAL ONES sEnvAN

TITS VERY MEAN TO STEAL ONE s SERVANT.
Women who are engaged in keeping
house believe that the meanest thing the
members of their sex can do is to steal
their servant girls, and it is pretty gener-
ally conceded that they are right Moth
ing can be more despicable than the theft
of a good servant girl by the offer of a
half-dollar or so more per week in wages.
Supposing, for instance, that a woman
engages a good girl for general housework
and teaches her, through hard work and
patience, the rudiments of cooking, wash
ing, ironing, etc. She has engaged the
girl at nominal wages because her services
are worth but little. Just as soon as she
has learned something a smooth neighbor
entices her away by an offer of more
money. Is there any adequate punish
ment for such women! If the reader will
return twenty-five favorable answers to
this query she will be presented with an
oil stove. There can really be no adequate
punishment for such women Chicdgo

Cross Country on a COyuse.

John Allen, of New York, accompan.
led by his wife, is riding coyuse from
New York city to san Francisco. In the
party is Professor Z. II. Platt, French
riding master. Mr. Allen told a reporter
of the Salt Lake City HeJah that the
start was made three months and three
days before he reached that point. ''We
crossed over TO 'ersey," explained Mr.
Allen, "cut across the State TO Easton,
Penn, instead of going northward as the
railroads do, passed through Iohnstown
just four days before the flood, struck
Greensburg, Penn, and then travc,ed
through the country, missing all the cities
until we reached indianapolis. We
crossed the Mississippi at Hannibal and
the Missouri at Kansas City, and after
making a short stay there pushed ON to
Denver, following the line of the Kansas
Pacific Railroad. Up to the time we
reached Denver we put up at lodging
houses every night and stabbed our horses,
but after leaving the Colorado capital wa
began roughing it in dead earnest. We
packed our supplies in wagon, pur-
chased fine span of draught horses and
started well prepared for camping out.
The route taken was over Berthous Pass
to the Hot sulphur Springs, thence to
Hayden, from there TO Meeker, then to
Nemal, the Uintah agency, Fort Du-
chesne, Heber and Park City TO Salt
Lake"

Greater advance seems to have been
made in Russia in the displacement Of
wood and coal as fuel than in almost any
other part of the world. Naphtha dregs
are used everywhere, and the railroads
and manufactures have adopted the new
fuel to the exclusion of the usual articles.
It is fully 80 per cent. cheaper than
either wood or coal, occupies much less
space in storage and can be handled more
readily. It's use has already become
common for domestic purposes, and it is
rapidly supplanting all other means of
furnishing heat.
