THE TAIL OF A MAsTIFF.

l was the owner of @ mastiff about as large as yearling calf; but one day he went the way of all dogs, and employed a taxidermist to set him up in good shape. While this work was being done, the tramps began to put in an appearance. While "Jack" was living, not one of the fraternity got inside the yard. He had not been dead two days before we had call CTS. How they caught on I don't pretend to say, but that was the way it worked.
 When the dag came home he looked as natural as life. By standing him on the grass beside rose bush, any one looking over the gate would have sworn that "Jack'' was alive and ready to tackle an intruder. During the first day as many as five tramps halted at the gate, took look, shook their heads and passed on and three more were scared off next forenoon. Soon after dln- her dilapidated rair, fresh from long tramp, arrived, and as the first laid his hand on the gate, the second exclaimed
 ''No go, Bill, there's the dog I"
 Stuffed r replied the first,as he opened the gate.
 "How dye know?"
 "By the turn of his tail. Ever see big dog like that with his tail carried to the left '? Course he's stuffed"
 l gave the men a quarter apiece, and then went out to look at the big dogs in the neighborhood. Every one carried his tail to the right. Indeed, nine out of ten do, and that ragged and penniless old tramp was closer observer than the taxi dermist who had made life study of pos ing specimens. was so hit by it, that stored the dog in the garret, and fed every tramp who came for the next three months.

Corporal James P. Tanner of Brooklyn

Corporal James P. Tanner of Brooklyn, whom President Harrison has appointed commissioner of pensions, lost both legs in the war. He and six others had seven legs amputated by southern surgeon. It was done on the field after a battle, and they were left alone in little tent without care, food or water. Their cries for water, as Corporal James Tanner tells it, were heart rending. Just outside of the tent was poor fellow whose right side was al- most torn away by the fragments of shell, and their cries were too much even for him to hear. Raising his head from the ground, with his terrible agony depicted in hls poor white face, he looked around the field in hopes that he might see stray canteen. There was none in sight, but about fifteen feet away he saw an old apple tree, and underneath it a dozen or more partially decayed apples. Turning upon his left side he began to drag himself to- wards the tree. He would go on for a few inches and then stop to rest. He finally reached the apples, and putting a few of them in his blouse pocket he began to drag himself back again, and when he got to the tent he handed Corporal Tanner one of the apples and said: ''There, that's the best can do for you" Just as he was taking the last of the apples from his pocket look of agony came into his face, and with the exclamation, "My God P he fell dead.

 One of those strange romances of the war, which time>every now and then brings to light, has just been unraveled at Ro- chester, Pa. When the war broke out Frank M. Hodges, farmer, was living near Charleston, Miss, with his wife, mother-in-law, two sons, daughter, and two nieces. In the second year of the war MT. Hodges entered the union army, and, being wounded, was sent to the hospital at Helena, Ark. The family set out for that place, but when they arrived MT. Hodges was not there. The wife and her mother died soon after, and the children were brought north by friend, and the girls placed in an orphans home at Ro- chester, Pa., and the boys in simular in- stitution at Zelienople. The latter did not remain long, for they decamped in the following year without notifying the au- thorities. The daughter and the two nieces remained at the home until they married. Nothing was heard of the boys until 1877, when they turned up both farmers, one living at Grass Lake, w. Va, and the other at Sherman, Pa. They vis- tied their sister, and, to learn something about the property which their grand mother had owned Tn Mississippi, wrote to the authorities near their old home. The correspondence which followed resulted in the discovery of the missing father. living near his old home.

It was argued that if new men are put in the place of the inefficient who are to be removed it would be some time before any marked improvement could take place, as all new men would necessar- fly require considerable time to become acquainted with the duties But the old hands could take hold with full knowledge from the first.

The above scene is a fearful and faithful picture of what is taking place in all parts of the land constantly. The mother goes about from day to day feeling tired, weak, with bearing down sensation, and yet hoping that it is only some passing trouble. After a time her tired feelings increase, her appetite becomes poor, her sleep broken, and her complexion grows sallow. Too often she hopes against hope, and neglects to take the means in time which would bring her certain relief.
 One day she becomes faint, her muscles grow weak, her head whrls, and the doctor is hastily summoned. He examines her, shakes his head leaves medicine and goes away. Then pains begin to set in, and life that was burden before now becomes an agony. She gradually declines her pain becomes almost unbearable, and at last she dies, mourned by her children and friends.
 This is the course of thousands of once healthy and happy women.

 It is endorsed by the medical profession.
