Every Gift but Speech.

Mr.. S. G. Harris, horse dealer
of Vincennes, Ind, is the owner of
wonderful dog. 1t is Scotch
collie and seems possessed of almost
human intelligence. Mr.. Harris and
Boz gave private exhibition in the
board of trade building the other
morning. His performances-th
seem to show too much intelligence
to be called tricks--amazed ev-
erybody. Bank bills and coins of
various denominations were placed
on the floor and the dog was re-
quested to take his choice. He i'm
mediately picked up $40 bill,
which was the largest in sight.
"What piece would you give me,
Boz?" asked Mr.. Harris.
Boz selected nickel and dropped
it into Mr.. Harris hand. Mr.. S.
A. Kent came in while the dog was
performing, and said: "Boz, l want
you to bring me five dollars and
half" Boz picked up a IS bill and
a fifty-cent piece, gave Mr.. Kent an
I'm-on-to-you expression, and trot-
ted over to Mr.. Harris with the
money. Find Mr.. Richardson" !"
was the next order. Boz trotted up
to that gentleman, looked up into
his face and wagged his tail. "Pick
his pocket" said Mr.. Harris. Boz
grabbed Mr.. Richardson's handker-
chief out Of his coat pocket and
trotted off with it. II want SIS,
said Mr.. Kent. Boz picked up a
$40 and S. bill. Bring me the
rest of it." Boz barked and growled.
His next performance was to bring
hat from the window and a piece
of paper from the waste basket in
the corner, and he also gave an i'm
itation of the way the clown dog
prayed in the circus.-Chicago News.

Very Nearly in the Soup.

The managing doctor of private
asylum in Russia lately had COM
plants laid before him by one of
the patients, who was considered
convalescent, as to the poor quality
of the food which was given, par
ticularly the soup which he stated
was half water. The doctor, think
ing it was not unlikely that the
cooks took advantage of the weak
intellects of the patients to tamper
with the food, and acting upon the
suggestion of the man, who had
laid his complaint in very coher-
ent manner, at once proceeded to
the kitchen to inspect the soup,
which was boiling in a huge caul-
dron over the fire. He lifted the
lid and was about to take out a
small quantity to test it, when he
was startled by the patient, who
had followed him into the kitchen,
whispering into his ear: "Do you
know, doctor, you are so nice and
fat you would make a good strong
BROTH" The man then seized him
by the shoulders, preparatory to
throwing him into the cauldron.
The doctor knew that it would be
useless to struggle with the lunatic,
who was tall and powerful. With
great presence of mind he said qui-
city: Il quite agree with you, it is
an excellent idea, but | fear my
clothes will spoil the flavor of the
soup. Let me first go and take
them off," The madman seemed
to see the force of this reasonable
and permitted the doctor
to leave the kitchen. BY this means
be was able to call for assistance
and have the man placed under
arrest.-London Globe.

SuLKY HORSES.
Queer Kinks Taken by Fastidiom
Racers.

Talking of Elkwood's dislike for
a heavy track reminds US that horses
generally have whims such as the
general public, who only see horses
on race days, would hardly believe.
Many great raceho-ses cannot race
in mud, but Elkwood's case is as
much whim as inability. If.he feels
the ground wet he will not try. He
sulked deliberately in the race for
the Monmouth cup last season,
when a little shower just penetrated
the ground for one or two inches.
The famous gelding Parole was full
of odd notions. If on the day of
race he missed his pail he knew a
race was coming and would fret
himself into lather, until Matt
Byrnes learned to trick him by leay-
ing the pail in his box.
Years ago Mr.. Jerome had good
horse called Gen. Yorke, by Planet,
who would savage his best friend,
but would never touch man whose
breath smelled of whisky, and, bad
as he was, his negro groom, who
often used to "revel DER nights"
and get locked out, used to stagger
into Yorke's box and sleep unmo-
Tested. Everyone has remarked
Eurus' inclination to swerve into
the rails at the finish of a race. In
fact he has tried to jump them. The
horse seems afraid of the rails. The
same popularity was remarked 80
years ago of the renowned English
horse Fisherman, who subsequently
went to Australia. It was remarked
that Fisherman would not 60 we'll
next the rails, as he fancied from
his long stride that he was getting
shut in and would not try. Fish
erman also had a whim about
weather, and whether training or
racing he could not be got to do
his best under sunny sky.-Spirit
of the Times.

During the first term Jackson was
on the supreme bench of the state
The two men had difficulty about
a military election, both being can
didates. On the day when Jackson
arrived at Knoxville to hold court
Sewer came also, mounted block
in the square and denounced Jack
son in unmeasured terms, calling
him all the names in the early vo-
cabulary. There could be but one
result, and that evening Jackson
challenged him. Sewer accepted,
and then came a question as to
where the fight should take place.
Jackson wanted to fight on the
Cherokee Reservation and Sewer
in Virginia. AS a result letters
passed between them in which the
word coward had the most frequent
use. Finally Jackson started for
Virginia and notified Sewer. He
reached Virginia first and remained
several days awaiting the arrival OF
his opponent. Sewer not appear
ing, he started for home, meeting
his rival on the way. They met in
the road, exchanged several shots,
neither one being hurt. when friends
interfered. They never forgave each
other, and there is still a tradition
that this was the most disgraceful
episode in the history of the state.
HENRY CLAY AND THE TOUGH.
Henry Clay once invaded the
blue grass region of Tennessee to
make speech. When he arrived
at his destination a tough-looking
specimen, evidently in the last sta
ges of whiskyism, stepped from the
throne, slapped the great orator on
the back and said in southern ver-
nacular:
"Howdy, Mr.. Clay?"
"The great man shook his head
and replied, "Be kind enough to
turn your head that may see your
profile"
The man averted his face while
the Pickering torchlight enabled
the observer to study him closely
for several seconds.
Twenty years ago." said Mr..
Clay, "you had not begun to grow
that long beard and was smooth
faced-eh?"
"That's right"
"You were not then a cyclops,
but had two whole eyes-eh?"
That's right, l reckon"
"Ah! then you sat on jury be-
fore which l pleaded a case, and your
name is. Am l not right2"
II reckon you are, suah."
''Yes, yes; I remember you per-
fectly, and, continued MIR. Clay,
"you had one other characteristic,
which / now recall-you were then
a gentleman.-N. Y. Herald.

Salt as a Luxury.

"Dr. Hibberd talks about paying
SO Tin California, where the gold
fever first broke out) for five pounds
of barley to make a feed for his
horse" remarked G. l.. Divine, fore
man of the composing room of this
Office, and of paying So for having
his hair cut and being shaved. |
have an experience in high prices
that will beat that or anything that
occurred during the last war. You
remember Bret Harris story of the
'Outcasts of Poker Flat? Well,
it's little like that. In the winter
of 1854 l was in the mines on the
north fork Of the Salmon river, in
northern California. The Salmon
mountains were covered with about
sixty feet of snow. No pack trains
could get into US and provisions of
all kinds were running short. Flour
sold as high as 81 so pound. We
were absolutely out of salt and the
men were fairly wild for it.
Theodore McMichael, of Phila-
delphia, had store at the forks of
the Salmon, and one day in rum
maging about he came across eight
or ten small sacks of salt that had
fallen behind a partition in his
store. The news of the find spread
like a prairie fire, and the place
was besieged with men bowling for
salt. McMichael said he would do
the best he could to make it go
round, and that money would buy
it. He began weighing it out by
the ounce, each ounce of salt requir-
ing an ounce Of gold to take it.
Gold was then worth SIG an ounce,
so that he sold his salt at the rate
of $256 a pound and everybody was

A Start in Life.

AtGreensboro, N. c., they pointed
out an old darkey who, they said,
had just got married and was going
out on a piece of rented land to
make a start in life. / followed
him out to his cart, to which was
hitched an old and fatted OK. His
bride, a coal-black damsel of eight
cen, sat on a bag of corn in the cart
and held to the rope lines around
the ox's horns. The cart contained,
in addition, a skillet, a kettle, ten
pounds Of side pork, and jug con-
tanning two quarts of molasses.
There was a tick for a straw bed, q
hens feather pillow, and an old
blanket. This was their outfit.

NELLY BLY,, one of New York 8
brightest newspaper writer's, has
told US of one form of public drink
ing INDUCED in by wealthy ladies
in that city. The favorite resort is
Delmonico's, that high-toned res
taurant, where, for many years past,
as occasion offered, have been wined
and dined the highest dignataries
of the land, and which is respecta-
BILE to the last degree. Situated in
the midst of the finest shopping re.
gion of New York, the ladies of the
city as we'll as those of suburban
towns who come here to shop, find
it the most convenient of places to
leave a parcel, wait for train, or
make an appointment with a friend
for lunch-the lunch often being
but the excuse or means of getting
the favorite beverage. Usually this
is served in coffee cups which serve
to conceal both the character and
quantity of the article ordered from
those present who might disapprove.
But while it is something to con-
cede even that much to public opin-
ion, the harm to the individual is in
no wise lessened the effect is the
same as though taken more openly,
it being no infrequent thing to see
on the streets of New York certain
of these ladies in a condition which
men facetiously term "half-seas
over" Nelly Bly,, who visited Del
monico's to investigate this matter
and was in the confidence of one of
the waters, saw a number Of the
cups replenished the second time.
In the ultra-fashionable circles of
New York, together with those a
trife less easily circumstanced, but
whose ambition it is to follow in
the footsteps of the first as closely
as possible, it has been custom of
the last winter to serve callers with
cups of tea favored with rum,
teaspoonful to each cup. Said one
young lady, II thought it horrid
tasting stuff at first, but now | have
quite come to like it"
Of course che would, just as he
or she who first originated the idea
in the liquor interest fully intended.
There is seldom a widely fashiona-
BILE "fad" of this description whose
hidden motive might not be traced
to some we'll laid plan of unscru-
pulous personal advantage.-Ex.

The w. G. T. o., What it Il, and What
Its Objects Are.

The Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union was organized fifteen
years ago. The issue OF the Wom-
ans Crusade movement inaugurated
in Hillsboro, Ohio, where a few
soul-stirred leaders, with psalms
and prayer went forth to war against
the saloon, as being the greatest
enemy of the home.
It is union of christian women,
comprising in its national organi-
cation of forty departments of work.
It numbers IA, 900 local auxiliaries
and $50, 900 members in the United
States. More than this, the white
ribbon, the badge of sisterhood, is
fast betting the globe, through the
worlds w. C. 7. u, and the noble
army of Missionaries. It's objects
are, to educate the young in princi-
Piles of total abstinence, and in the
scientific effect of alcohol and other
narcotics upon the human system !;
to educate, also, public sentiment,
and awaken from apathy, in regard
to the social and medicinal use of
alcoholic liquors; to- reform the
drinking classes by moral environ
ments and influence, and, lastly, to
remove by law, all obstacles that
''lead into temptation"
The liquor traffic, with all which
it contains, is an organized conspir-
acy against the peace and purity of
our homes, and sobriety and virtue
Of our sons and daughters. The
w. C. T. U. is an organized protest
from the guardians of these homes
against this conspiracy.
Mrs. Ward. nee Elizabeth Stone
Phelps, said of this mission of wom-
an: "What individual mistakes
may do with it, the work of saving
tempted men and women from this
form of ruin can be made the sense
of the deepest growth of womanly
character, and the sweetest blessing
of womanly content"
There is department in the w.
G. T. U. which directs its efforts to
that class which the churches do
not reach. They are the guests that
were invited to the rich man. 8 feast,
and did not come to it, but they
are the poor and wretched who were
sought for in the bye-ways and
alleys afterward, to partake of it..
"It is not the far-off entreaty, but
the hand-to-hand and heart-to-heart
work that tells the most effectively"
Many wanderer, apparently lost
to all sense of moral influence, by
the touch Of kindly hand, will
evince by the moistened eyes that
the heart is not yet hardened be-
yond the hope of redemption.
