A Clever Terrier.

There is little blacl, and tan terrier
in Pittsburg who possesses something
very like rational power. In iact q
lady who knows him intimately de-
clares that he is uncanny in his intelli-
genee.
A few weeks ago, while this small
dog was being washed upstairs, one
of the ladies OF the household dscov-
cred in a corner of the parlor bone,
which the dog had evidently hidden
there. She threw the bone out Of the
window. When the dog came down
from his bath he went straight to the
spot where the bone had lain.
Either he was hungry or he was
suspicious. There was no doubt
about his feelings when he discovered
that the bone had been removed A
he turned and looked about the room.
his anger was shown by every part OF
him. 1t happened that the lady who
had thrown the bone away entered
the room at this moment with a do
mestic. The dog looked at both OF
them intently, and apparently read
the guilty secret of one of them
Alright, for he few at her the next mo
ment with great savageness and tried
very hard TO bite her. He was repulsed
happily.
| Surely the ability TO reason is shown
in the conduct Of this dog Pi''-.---

LULLABY.

All day the wee lambies are safe In the fold,
Downy ducks huddled away from the cold,
Brides asleep where young brides should be.
Snug In their nest in the old apple tree.
Slow, 10 and fro,
AS soft winds blow,
Baby shah rock to the SIeepland SO,
Baby shall sleep TO song sung low;
Low and slow
AS the wavelets flow
That only the rivers of Dreamland know.
Fall, little eyelids DER Baby's sweet eyes,
Shut out the daylight where wakefutness lies
Drowsiness' kiss seal the curtains of white,
Turn dawn into dark and the noon into night
Soft as a sigh
Sing hush a-by,
Slum berlend floats In adown the sky,
Sailed by a cloud, and IT drifteth nigh
There shall fly,
With by-low-by.
The baby that here on my heart doth lie

The last counterfeit half dollar put
out had thirty-seven cents of the real
quill about it, or nearly rs much as
the government puts in, and the
gang would have had to float tens of
thousands of dollars to make day
wages. 1t was harder work than Dig
ging potatoes, but there is charm
about beating Uncle Sam which never
grows stale.-Detroit Free Press.

The NIacduf Kilt.


An English princess doesn't marry
an earl every day, and especially an
earl who is direct descendant of that
Macduff who has been requested to
''lay on" by every tragedian, from
him who delighted the gallery gods
in the Bowery to him who received
kid glove applause at the swell play
house. If you have any sentiment at
all, and are a woman q do not ad-
wise it for mem, you will appear in a
kilt skirt of Macduf plaid-it is a
beautiful rich plaid, red background
crossed by dark blue and green lines
you have kilt of this and wear with
it scarlet cloth coat, and on your
head a scarlet felt hat caught up at the
side with the blackest of blackbirds
that ever was shot or served in pie.
You can then try and think that you
own the castle of Wemyss pronounced
Weems) where Mary, Queen of Scots,
met and loved Darnley-that you own
the old house near East Wemyss, where
Macduff was born, and you can think
that in the castle sweet Mary Beaton
talked with the other Maries of their
gentle and lovely lady. You can
Keep say luS OFcT W yOurScli thoSc iouT
lines that tell their names:
Yestre'en the queen had four Maries,
The NIGHT she'll hae but three;
There was Mary Beaton and Mary Seaton,
And Mary Carmichael and me-
If wearing the Macduff kilt would
only make the average girl as woman
ly and sweet, with as little knowledge
of things better left unknown, as had
three of these four Maries, it would
be good idea for the United States to
buy two or three cloth factories and
devote them to the making of the rich,
warm plaid, that the women of the ma
ton might be clothed in it, and catch,
not the fever of discomfort, but the
glorious summer of sweetness, amiabil-
ity and love. = Cor. Philadelphia

committee was appointed. 1t is the
purpose of this party TO open the cam

There are several very important
schemes under way for the Improvement
of inland navigation and the construc-

Ohio, also of the Allegheny, and the
slack watering of some small streams in

King Humbert, of Italy, never be-

young Emperor William has given him
during his recent visit to Berlin. Such
a carnival of dinners, drinks, late hours,
and cruelty early risings as the honest
Savoyard has been put through it will
take him all summer to recover from.
He is a sallow, unhealthy little man,
accustomedto to careful diet, regular hours,

this bout with tho lusty heir of all the
Hohenzollerns' thews and muscles ought
to make his physicians nervous.

Take it all in all, this year in Europe
will be an important one in naval and
military developments. 1t will be espe-
cially important to American naval
authorities, for on the showings made
by many of the vessels in tho British
navy there will be established standard
for those American built ships which
were copies after British designs. On
account of the importance of the re-
suits to be obtained, it is not at all un-
likely that the United States govern
nent will detail a number of officers to
observe the operations.
