The Bull Dog. Disposition.

The bull dog is much more easy to train and control than is generally sup posed l am convinced that he possesses quite as much brain power as any of the larger dogs. His appearance is very much against his character for gentle ness and this has caused people to shun and avoid him, so that his disposition, however pleasant it may have been orig inally, has been made cross and savage by the treatment which he has received though he is even now much less ferocious than he is believed to be. No dog is ca pabie of greater affection than he, or shows more gratitude for any kindness Pure high bred dogs of any kind are hard to train, for the reason that they are too high spirited. The moEgrels of the street can be much more easily trained. because they can be much more easily controlled. Cor. Chicago Journal.

Handling Babies,

An article, "How to Handle Babies" ap- plicable to young mothers, is on the rounds. Some advice suitable to amateur fathers might not be out of place.
 Never get careless when you are in hurry to go down town, and throw the baby across the back of char like an overcoat; it is hard on the spine if it has one yet.
 Do not toot it like pile dr1ver to make it stop crying, as this only jolts more yells loose Don't trot around the room with it at night when it has the collie with it's head down and its feet up; see that you grab it right side mp and with care.
 Never be so thoughtless as to carry it by one arm or one leg, if you do not want any more noise in the house.
 Do not let it slip through your hands on to the floor, though you do lind it es hard as an eel to hold.
 In handing it to your wife do not be SO glad that you will let go of it before she has 8 clinch on it.
 If you stand it in the corners to get rid of it be sure that its feet are down.
 Never lay it upon the mantel piece, even for half an hour; it has no wings, but may have when you come back.
 Do not be guilty of tying its feet together and hanging it on the hat rack.
 If it jumps of your lap, always try tc catch it before it hits the Goor
 Avoid lifting it up by the ears as this pro duces enlargement of those ornaments.
 Don't bounce it up against the wall like Q ball and catch it; it may not like it.
 Do not balance 1t on your head with your hands in your pockets.
 If you find you must lay it across your lap to spank it, see that it is in comfortable position.
 If you feel that you have to sell it, don't A. w. Bellew in Yankee Blade.

A Duel with Paint Brushes.

One of the commonest ordeals to which novices were subjected in the painters studios in Paris was the paint brush duel. The two latest arrivals were stripped to the waist and perched on very high stools face to face at arms length. They were then armed with big brushes filled with color, one with Prussian blue and the other with crimson lake, and the duel began. Perfect strangers to each other, and having no insults to avenge, the combatants went very gingerly to work at the outset, anxious to keep their bal ance and avoid being daubed with paint. But, stimulated by the shouts of specta- tors, they gradually warmed to their work. A first blow was struck and re- turned; wavering, staggering and writh- ing, the opponents, with their bodies all splashed with paint, broke their brushes and rolled on the floor, where they ex- changed their blue and red sores in a hand to hand fight, which ended in the duelists fraternally soaping and washing each others wounds. -Morau-Nauthier. 1

Incident of the Franco -Prusslan War

We breakfasted on bit of chocolate cake and a sip of wine and rank and rough cigar, and after toilsome march, broken by the chance that the telegraph wagons happened to be going OUT way a few miles, we reached Gorge some min utes after 10 o'clock, and saw French man hanging by the neck beside well, his breast torn by rifle shots-a ghastly spectacle, to warn the people that they must not pollute the water to prevent the German soldiery from drinking it We pushed on, shade sickened by an object so repulsive. A beautiful bronze figure of an angel, the signal of the establishment of benevolent sisterhood, appeared above low trees on the right. There was a remote rattle of musketry in the same direction, and occasionally the grumbling, beyond wooded hills, of cannon.-Murat Halstead in The Cen turY,

Nowhere, even on the Nile, does the fig flourish as it does here in the Salt River valley. A cutting stuck down any place where it can get little moisture will grow most luxuriantly The writer hereof in setting out some trees had occasion to get few fig cut tings from neighbOr they were taken from a bearing tree and had fruit buds upon them. Those fruit buds matur- ed on the cuttings that season and the trees have born each year ever since. In other words, those cuttings have born crop each season from the day they were set out til the present. During each season they usually yield about three crops and sometimes get in an extra crop for good measure. The above only serves to point to an industry about which there can be no question as to the growth, and con tinuous growth, of the fruit, nor as to the quantity which it will bear. The art of curing and packing figs is rapiG- ly being learned in this country, and as their production is limited to comparatively narrow region of coun- try the market will always remain un- filled. Of course the raising and especially the handling of figs must be learned and markets must be made in new country like this, and some men will fail to make their trees grow well, while others will fail Co get the fruit on the market in good shape; but that there is in this valley the fin est region of country to be found any where for the purpose of fig culture remains an established fact and the careful, practical fruit grower and packer will always succeed in it.-Phe- nix Herald

Theories as to the Eskimo-His Lore of
 Home,

Why human beings have been found liv- ing in this lone land of desolation has given rise to no little theorizing and speculation, the bulk of which seems to be that they are cruelty forced to abide here by the supposed greater strength of the savages to the south of them. My own ideas are with the Ire spectable minority" which believes that they are found in these regions for the same req sons that we find the reindeer the musk OK and the walrus. that IS, it suits their peculiar temperament and disposition better than any other climate or condition possibly could, and they are no more forced into the frigid zone by other savages than the animals named are held there by the ante
 lope, buffalo or caribou of lower lat itudes. When they are taken from their hyperborean home they are as restless to return as the castaways in their own land are to get back to civilization, and singular enough, despite all their desolate surround ings, they are the most happy and contented race, savage or civilized, in the four corners of the earth, although it is the coldest cor ner. The tale told by Capt. Hall of the deep longing of the sick and sinking Eskimo, Kudlago, to see his land of ice and snow be- fore he died, and his joy on being carried to the deck of the Arctic bound ship when the first iceberg was sighted, is as pathetic as any ever told of the return of Arctic refugees to their land of flowers and forests, and clearly shows that patriotism and love of home is circumscribed by no parallels of latitude nor

Uncle sam's whitewash.

Excursionists who travel along the sea coast in summer are often attracted by the remarkable whiteness of the lighthouses, beacons and keepers dwell- ings, and they wonder how these guides to the mariner are kept in such shin ing condition during the winter as well as summer.
