A gentleman farmer in Amherst coun-
ty, Va, had two dogs that disappeared
at the same time and in very mystic
rious manner. They were seen one day
chasing a rabbit. After that no clew
could be found that gave the slightest
intimation of their whereabouts. Day
after day passed, and the dogs were
given up as lost; but at the expiration of
three weeks a negro came to the farmer
and told him that a sound like the whin-
ing of dogs could be family heard at a
point on the roadside where the red clay
banks rose to some height on either side,
just where a sort Of blind ditch had been
made across the road.
The farmer and his sons lost no time
in providing themselves with picks,
spades, ETC., and repairing to the spot
indicated, where, after listening intently
few moments, the sound described was
heard. Then they set to work with a
will and ere long came to the poor,
wretched creatures entombed alive in a
sort of hollow which they had dug in
their frantic efforts to release themselves.
With such energy had they worked that
they would have succeeded had they dug
in the opposite direction, toward the
road, but they were digging all the time
into the bank, further and further from
the road, toward the field which stretched
away to the foot of the mountain. They
had been three weeks without food
water or light. One was never quite
strong, and lived only year afterward
but the other is alive, and is fat and thirty
ing and frisl1y.--Philadelphia Time

A startling pronheov.


Nothing in the future appears more
probable than that within the lifetime of
persons now living the industrial SUI
premacy of Great Britain win pass away
with the exhaustion of her coal fields.
Switzerland, Italy and the Scandinavian
peninsula are destined to become the
great manufacturing districts of Europe.
This extraordinary industrial revolution
will be brought about by the transmits
sion and distribution by electrical means
of the inexhaustible and permanent wa
ter power In those countries. More than
q year ago in Switzerland a wooden man
ufactory with $4,000 spindles, with the
usual complement of auxiliary machin-
cry, was operated wholly by electric
power conveyed from o distant stream,
deriving its never failing supply of wa
ter from the melting Of Alpine SHOWS.
In the new era the Swiss republic may
not improbably become the foremost In.
dustrial nation of Europe. Electrical

Condition of nnytI.

The country is naturally rich, but not
rich enough to support the hordes of
shameless, self seeking politicians anx.
lous for their own enrichment. The
cause for their appearance in such num-
bers is easily explained. The many revo-
lutions, with their concomitant murders,
pillages and conhagrations, have de-
stroyed industry and labor, and have
closed all the avenues to the attainment
of competence by honorable pursuits.
OF what use is it to the peasant to plant
cane or to cultivate coffee when at any
moment the general of the arrondisse-
mept may force him to abandon his crops
to bear arms I'm support of some one who,
in the set terms of the usual proclama-
ton, has "raised the standard of revolu-
ton against the most odious of tyrants?'

To prohIbIt Mesmerio Exhlbitions.

In different European countries medi-
cal and legal societies have petitioned
the authorities to prohibit all public ex-
hibitions of ''mesmerism" by any person
whatsoever, and to forbid the employ
ment of hypnosis by any person not a
physician with special knowledge of ner-
Nous diseases. The use of hypnosis by
physicians should be limited to thera-
peutic purposes, or for the instruction OF
medical students, and as for these ends
the lower grades of hypnotism are, ao'
cording to Bernheim, sufficient, no in.
furious consequences need follow. Foi
his own protection the physician should
not use the method except in the presence

One anecdote told by Mr.. Stevens of
the way in which Stanley disposed of the
Egyptian officer who was convicted of
having plotted to hand the expedition
over to the Mahdi, is worth repeating.
Stanley, who was suffering with acute
gastritis, had himself carried in a chair
outside the tent. Turning to the incrim-
mated officer he said:
"We have come through o thousand
difficulties to save you and yours, Mean
while you have been plotting to destroy
us. Depart to Cod"
Saying these words, he pointed to q
bough of tree, where justice was done
after the fashion of Judge Lynch.-Pall

The total food consumption per year
in the United States amounts to 81, $780,
100000. 1t is estimated that 2 per cent.
of this is adulterated, or 800, 600, 900, OF
which 80 per cent. is harmlessly doctor

is an annual output of food containing

What Fors signify.

Night or morning fogs, or in winter
persistent fogs, often signify calm and
settled condition of the air and the prev
alence of fair weather. Heavy dews,
especially in the autumn, likewise por-
tend fine weather, but usually of shorter
duration. Fogs appear usually in one OF
two conditions-either the air is nearly
saturated up TO a considerable height, oil
else is unusually dry, except in stratum

Social Opportunities Are Equal.

There is no good reason why the me

banjo if he is so inelinedl none why he
should not keep himself clean and re

as wide to him as to the salesman in a

A LOVE BRIEF.
Give me short words and sweet-yet strong a,

sweet
In which TO speak the love / bear to thee,
Who art not slow of wits keen sense to see
How in small Goals Of fire glows the white heat:
While, as in straw's tall blaze that lights the street.
But sinks at once 20 naught, small warmth may
be-
SO, what makes love OF worth full oft shall flee
From large, long words where sense like sound, Is
fleet
Wide as the sea, and deep, my love boast,
Nor gauge It by wild streams that brawl and
rush
To iaunt and fling their pride forth in fall
And by my words, as types, think that most
It's length and breadth and depth thy cheeks
shall flush
With rose tlnts pure as thy sweet name call

A Frog That Dies of ola Age.

A frog in Nicaragua, colored red and
blue, fearlessly hops about in the day
time. It has perfect faith in Its warning
color. No snake OF bird viii touch it,
tor It is disgusting to the taste, and the
sooner It Is recognized the better.-Cath-

Greek Architecture and Modern Genius.

We may as well concede that in archi-
lecture, sculpture and poetry the Greeks
have not been surpassed by nations Of
modern times. But this concession COW
ers only a small space in the boundless
field of human effort Within the in
closure of those Grecian walls that house
our patent system are wonders that seem
to belong to a different world and to a
higher order of beings than the world
and the men for whom Homer sang.
We copy some of the beautiful forms of
Grecian architecture, but we add to our
buildings the results of ages Of scientific
PROCESS. In heating, lighting, draining,
ventilation, the elevator, and a thousand
devices that promote comfort and en-
hance beauty we have made more prog
ress in the present century than was
achieved in all preceding ages.-New Or

1t is good form not to mind If you
friends are bit shabby, but TO be salts
fed because they are your friends, and
curiously enough, although riches are
appreciated, it's good form not to envy
anybody their gold, but to make the
most out Of ones own possessions, and in
the matter of costly banquets and rich
gifts to take the viii for the deed.-Ex.

The treatment Of boys at school is in
every way infinitely improved, COM
