A gentleman who has had a good deal
of experience in the management of dogs
says that the most vicious brute can be
speedily conquered by any powerful odor,
especially a pungent odor like ammonia.
He tells how he once won a wager on
haudling a dog that few persons could
approach. 1t was in a little town in
Canada. The conversation being ON the
subject of dogs, the proprietor of the inn
where he was stopping laid a wager thai
his visitor could not put his hands upon
n dog chained up in the back yard.
IAN right" said the visitor, "but as a
matter Of p~recaution for the protection
of my hands 1 will go upstairs and put
on a pair of gloves"
"Iputo on q pair of old bucllssiKin GLOVES -
says the gentleman; in telling the story,
a n satnessfed the right hand with am
mona. We then went out to the dog,
and at my approach he rushed from his
kennel with open mouth. AS soon Is he
got within reach l thrust out my right
hand. Instead of biting it he turned
tail and ran back into his kennel. Then
I went to the kennel, and putting my
hand inside made him come out again.
The secret of the matter is that q dog
can't bite without drawing in his breath,
and as he does so he inhales the ammo
MIA, which partially suffocates him and
subdues for the time being his biting
propensity. Some dogs may be subdued
with cologne New York Times.

Breeds, a little station on the Toledo,
Peoria and Western railway, was thrown
into great excitement when John Rync
came dashing into town on a blackboard
declaring that he had been chased for
five miles by a crazy mare. His own
horse was covered with foam and showed
the effects Of a hard drive.
Ryno said his attention was attracted
by the running of a horse behind him,
and he saw that a white mare was fol.
lowing his blackboard about 100 yards
away. The animal kept up a peculiar
~squealing. as if in sharp pain or deer
anger. She came up rapidly, and wher
within fifty feet Ryno, to his horror,
saw that the brute was suffering from
rabies, as a stream of green saliva ran
from the mares jaws. The eyes and
nostrils were d~istended, and the hideous
squeals became more pronounced.
Ryno lashed his horse. His W ami.
NAL had begun to tremble, and whinny.
ing with fear broke away at her highest
speed; but the mad mare gained and was
soon biting and swapping at the buck
board wheels, at Ryno and at his horse.
Ryno beat the brute in the face with his
whip stock, but to no effect. He sayt
the awful &c lasted fully five miles. A
passenger train on the Toledo, Peoria
and Western came along about then,
and h mare, with a hideous squeal,
leaped q low hedge and ran after the
train. Reno watched the race until the
horse and train were lost by a curve. II
is now believed that the mare chased
the train some distance, but fell in q
fit and was subsequently killed by sec
ton men.-St. Louis Republic.

THE LADIES SPOKE FRENCH.

Unfortunately some of Their FeIIop
rrxyeisrs Did Also.
A beautiful example of the sublime
faith,some people have in the superiority
of their attachments over those of the
people by whom they are surrounded,
and Of the confusion which occasionally
ensues when it transpires that such faith
has beer misplaced, was presented in a
railway car recently.
A Indy and gentleman, the spic-and-
span ewness of whose apparel and be-
longings and the fawlessness of whose
courtesy to each other bespoke their
freshly welded state, were speeding
along in the express from Boston. At
n of the stations they alighted and
presently returned, accompanied by a
young lady who was evidently the sister
Of the bride. During their brief absence
their places had been taken by new
corners and it was necessary for the
party to distribute itself through the

separated by the aisle, and GRAINED their

tones sufficiently loud to be easily heard

French was not that of the salons. 1t
had probably been acquired in the
nursery from some voluble bonnie. But
it proved all sufficient for the transmits
sion of the most confidential tales of the
young wife's brief matrimonial career.
1t transpired that she was on her we'd
ding journey, and not having seen her
sister since the day when she started out
in a rain storm of rice and slippers she
had much to impart, and the particulars
were thrilling. They talked in the
what thin, fine voices which are charac-
t~eristic of Down east maidens, and
which penetrate like a child's treble.
When an occasional stop was made
they were too interested to pause, and
did not even lower their tones, they felt
so sure everybody else in the car could
only understand United States. The
wife had disclosed the whole history up to
the present time when the train came to
a stop in the Grand Central depot. Then

lady who had been sitting near by ex-
changed o few sentences relative to their
luggage and plans and spoke in correct

In London there is a joke going the
rounds of the clubs under the lbelous
guise of an American joke. They tell
Of the cremation of a certain Yankee,
who, just before yielding up the ghost,
expressed the wish that his dead body
should be committed to the flames. Ac-
cordingly therefore the corpse was duly
conveyed to the crematory and, in the
presence of a large o of be-
reaved friends, consigned to the glowing
chamber in the midst of the roaring fur
mace The corpse had been in the fur
mace half an hour, when the sorrowing
friends, impelled by a morbid curiosity,
slyly opened the door and peered in to
see how the melancholy work of crema-
ton was progressing. Thereupon, to
the surprise of all, the corpse sat up in
the coffin, stark. blue and shivering, and
cried out; PLEASE shut that door-you
know very well 1 never could stand a
