Rruse Humanity.

Once in the city of Vienna there was 6
 dread of hydrophobia, and orders were given l to massacre all the dogs which were found unclaimed or uncollared in the city or su- ! burbs. Men were employed for this pur- pose, and they generally carried short
 stick, which they flung at the poor pre- scribed animals with such certain aim as either to kill or maim it mortally at one blow.
 It happened one day that, close to the edge | of the river, near the Ferdinand's -Brucke, l ed dog, but with such bad aim that it fell ! into the river. The poor animal, following | his instinct or his teaching, immediately plunged in, redeemed the stick and laid it at \ the feet of it's owner, who, snatching it up, dashed out the creature's brains. Which was the brute?
 We may surmise what the Athenians ! would have done to such a man from the l fact that they banished the judge of the Are opagus because he flung away the bird which sought shelter in his bosom.
 There are men in whom there is no spark of gratitude or generosity. There are others who appreciate benefits received and are happy in making grateful acknowledgement. Rev. J. W. Asheman, one of the most elo- quent divines of Detroit, Mich, writes, March Sd, 1888: eIn 1884 visited Chath- am, Ont, to lecture and preach. l was in agonizing pain (the result of kidney disor- ders) and unable to dine with my host. l explained to Judge Woods what was the matter He asked me if I was too preju- diced by my medical education to try War ner's Safe Cure, adding: Although I have never tried it, I can take you to gentleman whom it has helped wonderfully"
 'I used twenty-five bottles ot Warner's Safe Cure and was in better health than for twenty five years. have everything to lose and nothing to gain by making this state- ment, save the approval of good cons science"
 There are tens of thousands of people in
 this country who have gained the approval
 of good conscience in like manner, and are not too bigoted to do good.

The New Webster school and Alleged
 Befects.
 The new Webster school was to have been done by April 1, but it is not yet finished. There are some who state that the building should not be accepted by the board of edu- cation, because, it is alleged, that Contractor Hogan has used inferior material in it's con- struction, many of the bricks in the old building having been worked into the new structure.
 It is claimed that these old bricks are soft and that water soaks through to such an ex- tent as to discolor the hard finish on the walls. Major Strong of the school building committee said that the contractors atten- tion had been called to the defects and he had promised to remedy them.
