A Thief Deteetor.

"When we started / noticed" said one
Of q party of jewelers. who had camped
in the wilds of Canada, ''that one Of our
number was incumbered with large
box. The second day in camp two
watches disappeared, and each m member
of the party began to look upon the
others with silent suspicion. Finally, as
the thefts were repeated, a meeting was
called, and every man pleaded guilty.
No one up to that time suspected the
honest French Canadian lad we had en-.
gagged as a servant. He was questioned
and also entered a prompt and emphatic
denial. We all believed. his protestations
of innocence except the man with the
box.
Gentlemen, said he, somebody in
the party took those watches, and pro
pose to find out who. Ihave here thiei
detector, pulling out an electric battery
and winking at the crowd. IF there il
a thief among us this will point him
out Every man took his turn at the
battery. The boy watched the perform
ance in wonder. He had never seen
such queer arrangement before, but as
everybody who touched the coils escaped
without harm he stepped bravely 10 the
front when it came to his turn and tool
hold. A sudden change came over HIM
The owner of the battery had turned or
its full force, and the victim gave yel
of pain and horror, and fell to the ground
screaming: Save me! save mel tool
'em, but I'll never do it againr Jew

The Armenian Houses.

The Armenian houses of Armenia
proper are by no means comfortable
The poorer classes have homes thai
would hardly be considered fit for cows
in America, and in fact the COW lives
with the family. The floors are below
the level of the roadway, and there are
little windows about the size Of port
holes. Most of the houses are of one
story, and it is not uncommon to build a
house against the side of hill, so that
there will be no back wall Stepping
down into the house you find the COW
stable on one side and on the other the
kitchen and the private apartments Of
the family.
Each room has a stone fireplace, and
all the cooking is done with COW dung
mixed with straw There are no tables
and few chairs, and it is a curious thing
that large part of the heat of the room
comes from the animal heat produced
by the cattle in the stable which adjoins
the kitchen. The houses of the wealthy
and middle class of Armenians are more
comfortable, and in the big Turkish cit
les you win find Armenians occupying
palaces. In the country, however, they
have few of the comforts of Christen-
dom, and the chief furniture consists of
divan running around three sides of
the room covered with Persian rugs
and resting ON a carpet of gray felt

In writing Of the native dogs of Cen.
tral America Frederick Boyle brings for
ward a theory as to how dogs form the
habit of barking. He was discussing
with an old resident Of the country some
traits of the ''ooyote, as the native wolf
is called, but which more nearly resem-
bles the dog
Dogs win never go wild so long as
they can find master to serve, and
more especially trained dogs. The coyote
never barks, and only ga1ops when pur-
sued. In regard TO the first of these
points, says Mr.. ByanG remark made
by an old Indian struck me.
"Why won't these coyotes bark like
other dogssp / asked him, pointing to one
was trying to reclaim, land why do
they only howl and the pups gruntg'
His answer was, He won't learn"
"Not learnY said l. "What do you
meanY
"No," he replied, mot learn, for il he
were of an honest breed he would bark
to try and initiate his master, or at all
events the other dogs, but all barking
proceeds from dogs initiating their mas
ter's shout. The master shouts to frighteI
away cattle from his maize tield-the
dog barlcs directly; the master shouts tC
drive in cattle TO the corral, and the dog
barks also. In fact, the dog initiates his
master when he barks; he tries to speak
but cannot.
Igive this curious observation US the
only attempt ever heard to account fol
the barking of our tame dogs. No wild
breeds make any noise except howhng
and snarling, nor under the best cir
cumstances will they learn TO bark until
the third or fourth generation, a length
of trial which Mr.. Byam does not ap
pear TO have given the coyote.

During his stay at Fredensburg Prince
Albert, son of H. r. II. the Prince of
Wales, diverted himself by tormenting
the life out of the czar's favorite dog.
One day the emperor of Russia. as he
passed along the shore Of the Lake of
Esrom, which bounds the park of Ere
densburg on one side, perceived the
young prince in the act of taking up his
dog in his arms and throwing him into
the water. Half in sport, half in anger,
Alexander III, who possesses uncommon
muscular strength, went up to the
young man-who is his nephew, by the
by-and seizing him by the coat collar
threw him into the lake in his turn, say
ing:
Gas you seem to be so fond of water,
I'll give you "a taste of it for once"
Since this occurrence Prince Albert
has given the czar's pet dog a wide
berth.-La Morale Amusante.

A stimuIant to the Gas Industry.

Many of those who were interested in
the manufacture and sale of gas in this
country have been much exercised by
the threatened suppression by the cleo
tric light of the older illminant; but
there is now every reason to believe that
instead of injuring the gas industry, the
introduction Of electricity for illuninat-
ing purposes viii stimulate it to an un-
limited extent.
Not only has the fact been established
that the superior brilhance of electric
light in streets and stores where it is
used calls for more light in competitive
situations, where gas alone is employed,
but it has been demonstrated that the
use Of gas in engines as a motive power
to drive electric light machinery win
produce from five to six times the light
that could be obtained by burning the
same amount of gas in the ordinary way
through a burner. A new field has thus
been opened up for gas companies to
work, in which the electric light will be
their ally instead of their competition. -

Best Fodder for Cavalry Horses.

A series of experiments, made with a
view of discovering the best fodder for
French cavalry horses, has established
the fact that straw and oats are, in rea-
son, preferable to hay. 1t appeared that
when the ration of hay was reduced, and
that Of the straw and oats proportion
ately increased, the staying power of the
horses was much improved; they sweat
ed less and bore fatigue better. These
experiments have excited much interest
in military circles, and it is very gener-
ally recognized that there is imperative
need for complete and careful study Of
the question of cavalry forage. New

Rest little head, on my shoulder, so;
A sleepy kiss Is the only fare;
Drifting away from the world we go,

See where the FIRE logs glow and spark,
Glitter the lights OF Shad0wland

Are ripples tapping upon It's strand.
There where the mirror is glancing dim
A lake lies shimmcring, cool and still;

Silently lower the anchor down.
