The jury went out to deliberate. and

The coroner was amazed "I shall

testimony was positive that Andy Boil

Eyes, replied the foreman, and the
testimony was equally positive and IN
equivOcal that the deceased was of sound
mind and in full possession of all his
faculties just previous to his death,
and that while in this condition he
called Andy Boiling "a liar It stands
to reason that if he had not meditated
seIf-destructiOn he would not have
been so rash. He knew what the con

Attention.

It is impossible to Overestimate the
effect of simple earnestness and con
centration in the affairs of life.
"I sometimes wonder where I should
be now. if 1 had always given my whole
mind to my work, said a middIe-aged
man, engaged in a pursuit for which he
had no particular love. He occupied
fairly good position, as 1t was, and was
swel1 respeckit, but the something
beyond, which he might have attained,
had his energy and force of viii been
stronger, would always haunt him:
Larkin Dunton, a practical educator,
says in writing about this very point,
that he once asked boy a question in
regard to his enjoyment of a certain
study, and received this reply:
cob, the time spent on that doesn't
amount to much, for the teachers don't
care anything about it. D."
That carelessly spoken reason would
exactly touch the root of many a SINH
lar matter. The teacher has no inter
est, no stimulating enthusiasm, and so
the boy has none. A clerk is content
WITH doing mechanically the liberal
amount Of work required of him, and
his employer feels no interest in open
ing before him the way to a better pO-
sltIOn. There Is no affair Of practical
life, no matter however unimportant,
which is not marVellOusIy influenced
by earnestness or slOth.
"Why don't you mend your harness
some rainy day, instead Of tying it up
with strings 2" asked some one of a boy
who had taken a summers contract to
drive milk wagon.
"Oh, he don't care, said the lad,
pointing to his employer. who sat on
the fence dangling his feet, and smok-
ing, "he'd as heves 'twOuld be all string,
if 'twOuId hold together"
But the time came when it did not
hold together, and then boy and man
parted, while river of spilled milk
rolled between, and neither could rea-
lie that it was only their common
"shif lessness' which had been the cause
Of the separation.
The Indians, with their fOndness fO1
symbolic titles, called Phil Sheridan,
he-little-man-that-m business"
Very few men deserve to wear the
name after him, but those who have
any intention of succeeding to one re
hectinp faint degree of its Iuster will
need to throw an exceeding earnest
ness into every act of their daily lives

could be brought together and presented,
that would reasonably insure the dogs a
place, if, indeed. such a one has not
been provided.
An instance Of higher intelligence. dis
played by dogs was displayed in a spaniel
owned by Mr.. William Mackin, govern
ment official of Quebec. Spot was accus-
toned to play with kitten, whose flower
like face gave her the name of Pansy.
Spot would take Pansy's head in his
mouth and gently roll her to and fro. One
Sunday morning the two were at play,
and, as it proved, the dog was too rough,
for when ne let go of the kitten she did
not scamper away as usual. The dog
capered about her, running backward and
forward, to entice her to play. But the
kitten did not move. Then Spot came
to her, turned her over with his nose,
leased her with his paw, and began to
show signs of great uneasiness. He
would pause, then begin again to coax
her to get up.
At length he seemed to realize that
Pansy was dead, and that he knew the
mean ng of death, it's sense of loss, and
also its practical results, he proceeded
to show.
With every evidence of distress he car
ried her off to the side of the walk.
There he dug a hole, put the kitten in it.
covered it carefully with earth, and went
away. When the family returned from

are passed. Plin1immOn seemed to know
that only kindness was meant him, and
submitted willingly to the preparations.
The area to be operated on was then
rendered insensible by hypodermic injec-
iections of cocaine, and then the knife
was applied. Three times a day the
wound was dressed, and after "a time
when the dog was brought, without a
word he would lie down and raise his
paw for the doctor to begin. The wound
happily healed by first intention, and in
three weeks Plinlimmon was we'll.
Plinlimmon is the most expensive dog
in the country. Mr.. Emmett paid $4,000
for him in England. He is a st. Ber-
nard, tawny orange with white mount
ings, a gigantic fellow, and as Fritz's
friend and companion he has larger
number of friends and admirers than any
other dog in the country.
The next most popular dog recently
died of the now popular disease, heart
failure. This was a mastif owned by
Mr.. Moore, of the Melrose kennels, Mas
sachusetts, who paid $4,000 for him on
the other side. The prices paid for dogs
are enormous. A common price is $3.50
for a valuable hunting dog, and puppies
$25 and $50. One of the most common

When Girls Should Be Silent.

Would a weIl-bred girl, possessed of
any feeling whatever, possessed of the
slightest sensibility or sense, divuIge
the fact that she had been proposed to
by a man, and that she had refused
him have asked the question of
several girls, and also of several mar
RED women, and while their answers
are varying I am confident, from what
I know Of their characters. that the
well-bred girl of honor and sensibility
would never, upon the weightiest pre-
text, disclose what had passed between
herself and a man upon so delicate a
subject. The unsuccessful sutton is a
man who receives very little sympathy,
and usually there is none more deserYs
ing of it than he.-St Paul Eye.

dogs shall go muzzled or with a leader
The fox terrier belongs to stables, woods,
and lanes. But he is with US and is very
much at home.
Of all breeds of pet dog none has met
with such general favor as the skye. But
skye is comprehensive term. The true
sky Q is not, in fact, pet dog at all. The
real skye is a long bodied, low dog, with
a gold and blue hard why coat, and a
terrier head built for killing. But all sorts
of combinations of Yorkshire and Scotch
terriers have resulted in a harmless silk
en-, long haired pet dog, which goes by
the name of skye.
A rarer. but one of the most lovable
dogs, is the cocker spaniel. There is a
lively group of these dogs in almost all
the fine stables.
The most ultra fashionable dog is the
caniche or French poodle. The poodle
allows for costume, as it were, by shear
ing the long frOwzy coat in whatever way

the fancy Of it's owner may dictate. It
used to be the mode to give him leon
inc appearance, but later styles make of
him a dude. He has rings of curls about
his legs, and not unusually he wears on
one Of his legs silver bangles.
Authorities on dogs say that there is
no difference In intelligence among diff
ferent breeds, but the caniche and the
collie seem more human and teaehabIe.
Mr de Ruiz, the Consul from Ecuador,
has long had a poodle which he calls
Puck, that came to him in q touching
way. The car carrying dogs to the pound
one hot summer day was passing along.
1t was so full that the dogs were in
heaping. writhing mass. Suddenly over
the heads OF all and over the tall board
bounded white poodle who ran
to Mr. de Ruiz as he was passing,
leaped to his knees and looked
up in his face. There could have
been no more eloquent plea for protec-
ton. Mr.. de Ruiz inteFposed and Puck

There is 8 young girl under a distin-
guished doctor here in town at his pri-
vate hospital. None the less she does
not hold to his school of medicine, as
she intimates through lively pup she
has with her.
What does Homeopathy do?" she con-
tinues, and the dog jumps up and runs
bounding all over the chairs, much to the
Doctors delight, although his profess
siOnal intelligence has been challenged
by the little brute.

church they expressed their surprise at
not being met as usual by the dog and
cat.
Dogs are now so completely members
of the family that they share the politics
and prejudices of the family. A young
woman from Canada is an ardent Tory,
and her black-and-tan is just as Jealous.
Gladstone gives you this piece of
cake, she says, and the dog turns up his
nose with an unmistakable sheer and
walks away.
"No, Lord BeacOnsfeld left it to you in
his will" and the dog runs back wag-
ging his tail and eats with the greatest
satisfaction.
What would you do for your cOuntry?"
she asks, and he throws himself notion
less on the floor. He would die for the
country.
But what would you do for your mis-
