Saved by His Dog.

On the night OF the lllh and 18th of
September, 1872, chosen band of six
hundred Spaniards made an attack
within the lines of the Dutch army.
The sentinels were cut down, the
whole army surprised and for mo-
ment poweress. The Prince of Or
ange and his guards were in profound
sleep; hut a small spaniel dog"
says Mr.. Motley, "who always passed
the night upon his bed, was a most
faithful sentinel. The creature sprang
forward, barking at the sound of hos
tile footsteps, and scratching his mas
ter's face with his paws. There was
but just time for the prince to mount a
horse that was ready saddled, and to
effect his escape through the darkness,
before his enemies sprang into the
tent. His servants were cut down, his
master of the horse and two of his sec
retaries, who gained their saddles a
moment later, all lost their lives, and,
but for little dogs watchfulness,
William of Orange, upon whose shout
ders the whole weight of his country's
fortune depended, would have been
led within a week to an ignominous
death. The prince ever afterward
kept spaniel in his bed-chamber. p

Who Spilled the Ink?

Who spilled il? There were only
three in the room. There was Jip,
going out of the room with his tail up.
There was doll, Polly Alkaline, on the
chair, looking very innocent. She
could not have done it. And there was
Bessie, with great black splashes on
her dress, looking at the inky puddle
on the floor. Bessie had put the ink
stand on The stool. Jip had run against
it, and knocked it off. Bessie was get
ting Polly Dolly ready to make speech,
when she heard doggie bark. AS she
turned she struck her foot against the
chair, and fell, full length, on the very
edge of the black puddle. 1t did not
hurt her bit; but oh, her dress and
oh, the carpet! Bessie jumped up, and
said to Jip: I" You naughty, bad doyi
What shall do to you?" Jip did not
wait to see, but put up his tail and ran
away. The little girl stood looking at
the carpet minute, and then ran TO
call mamma, leaving Polly Dolly with
her arms hanging over the chair, quite
helpless. Mamma came in the greatest
hurry. How did it happen?" she
asked, working away with sponge,
and looking 50 sorry. Zip ran against
the stool, mamma, and upset the ink.
| called him naughty, bad" Who
put the inkstand on the stool?" said
mamma. 1t belongs on the table"
" | wanted the big books" said Bessie.
Polly Dolly was to make a speech,
and / wanted to stand her up high. l
put the inkstand on the stool, so
could slide the books off the table"
" Then it was naughty Bessie, not
naughty Jip," said mamma. "Jlp
knew no better. but Bessie knew that
the stool was no place for ink" How
sober mamma lookedl 81 didn't think"
said Bessie, hanging her head. You
must think" said mamma, working
away, and don't blame another for
your fault. "-Sunbeanl.

The Kiwi-KiWi.

Wouldn't little bird look funny if
he didn't have wings?' said Puss. She
and Johnnie were sitting on the porch
watching some robins. The robins
were hunting worms near the porch.
" A bird wouldn't be a bird if he did
not have WINGS" cried Johnny. "Oh,
yes, it would" said Uncle Fred. Their
uncle was sittinr in a chair near, read
ing his paper. He had heard what they
said. 81 can tell you about bird
that has neither wings nor tall" went
on Uncle Fred. "Oh, Uncle Fred,
you never really saw bird like thatr'
cried Puss. Indeed l did," replied
her uncle. " saw such one when |
was in New Zealand. 1t is called the
kiwi-kiwi, or apteryx, and is a very
queer bird indeed. 1t would make you
laugh to see one" cit makes me
laugh to hear about it," said Johnny.
" How large is il?" asked Puss.
" About the size of full-grown hen"
said Uncle Fred. cts feathers are
very soft and pretty. The New
Zealanders use them to trim their
dresses. The skin, with the feathers
on it, is used to make the mantle of a
Ouioi' NV peiooH vi lower Oruer Is
lowed to wear one. The kiwi-k iwi
has a very long beak. When it is rest
ing it puts its beak down on the ground;
then it looks like ball on three legs.
The bird is fast runner, and the ma
tives pursue him at night with spears
and torches. 1t does not move about
much in the daytime. 1t is a night
bird. II lives on worms, and uses It's
bill to dig them out of the ground"
" And don't it really have any wings
or tail?" asked Johnny. He could not
quite believe bird could live without
wings or tail. NO." said Uncle
Fred, hardly sign of either" my,
but IFS a queer Bird" said johnny;
and Pussy thought so too.-Ow Little

Soldiers &uooet.
Answers to Correspondents.

S. p, WMTsFIELD.-A soldier is not
required to be in INDECENT circumstances to
be entitled to pension under the act of June
81 1890 If he has sufficient disability he il
entitled to pension, whether he be rich or
poor. widows of soldiers are required to
be dependent upon their labor for a support
to be entitled t. pension under that act.
@. NJ. W., CABor.-.If you have only few
hundred dollars pension money, we would
not advise you to invest it in southern or
western speculations. II you expect to pur-
chase home with 1T in few years you had
better deposit ii in some bank where it will
be safe aud where you can get it on demand.
All the banks in Montpelier are regarded as
safe, and will pay you interest at four per
cent on deposits remaining longer than six
months.
G, H., HUNTINGrON.-The old soldiers are
not dying as fast az you think. The men
accepted into the United States service
were subjected to a thorough medical ex-
animation, and those found suffering from
disease, were rejected. Then the exposure
and hardship of the service during tine four
years of war killed the puny and left only
the healthful and strong at the close of the
war The number now living, as shown by
the last census, is 1,450,00O. The pension
Office estimate was 1,246,OS9 This estimate
was generally regarded as too large, but the
returns show it to have been too small.
s. p, MoRETowN.-The printed letter you
rec vsd from the commissioner OF pen
sions, with two blank cards enclosed, ON
wnlcn TO state the date of your enlistment
and discharge from the service, has nothing
to do with your claim for pension. Such
letters have been received by nearly all the
soldiers in the state since the first of De-
cenber, some addressed to soldiers that
eel during the war or since We believe
this is the third time that Vermont has been
flooded with thousands of these letters and
cards. III you answer it the pension Office
Will not accept your statement as to date of
enlistment aud discharge, but will always
obtain such information from the records in
the war department. The better way is to
give 1t no attention.

10000 barrels in 1889. For this eztraor-
binary falling-of no explanation has been
vouchsafed. 1t may be owing to the
rigor of the law or it may be lack OF
popular thirst or radical change IN the
popular drink. At all events, the Hand
book, boldly vouches for the accuracy OF
the figures. At the same time the sale
in Missouri has run up from 16 hundred
thousand to Is hundred thousand bar
rels, and perhaps to the friendly officer OF
Missouri, Kansas may be indebted for
its own exposition of temperance.
Thanks to the frankness of the organ
of the brewers the friends of temper
ance in Kansas may well congratulate
themselves on the statement which goes
forth to the country showing the admir-
able enforcement of the prohibitory law.
For whether the law be good or ill-ad-
vised, its enforcement, so long as it is a
part of the constitution of the state, is the
best proof of the staunchness and integri-
ty of the people and their officers, and
at the same time an evidence that pro-
hibition is sustained by the popular SEN
timent Of Kansas.-RaHSas City Star.

Beer in Kansas.

That truthful and interesting publica-
ton, the Byesgey's Handbook, contains sta
tistical information which Will not be par
ticularly gratifying to Prohibitionists
outside few favored localities. 1t ap-
pears from these statistics that nearly q
million barrels of beer were sold in the
United States last year, an increase of
about two million barrels on the year
preceding. And it further appears that
this increased proportion was pretty well
distributed, very few of the states show
ing decrease. Nearly one-third of the
beer was sold in New York, and the ratio
of sale follows closely the population of
the states, notable exceptions being the
prohibition commonwealth of Iowa and
Kansas. The total sale of beer in Iowa
last year was $1,000 barrels, decrease of
$4,000 barrels since 1889, a very encourag-
ing sign when taken in opposition to the
election of Democratic Governor last
fall.
But the most interesting figures are
those which belong to Kansas. 1t is
shown by the Handbook that with the ex-
ception Of Arizona and Alaska, less beer
was sold in Kansas than in any other
state or territory of the Union. The total
sale was only 200 barrels as against
