RETREAT FOR DOGS.
A Queer English Institution Patronized
by Queen Victoria.

by Queen Victoria.
Some twenty-seven years ago such
home was made at Battersea, a part of
London, by benevolent lady. Since
her death it has been carried on by an
association composed of many OF the
nobility.
During the last year IL, 1881 dogs have
been admitted to the home, most of
them being brought in by the police.
Over 1,5OO were restored to their own
ers, and an equal number found new
homes. Most of the animals are gath
cred from the streets, where they are
found wandering, and if sick or injured
are painlessly destroyed. The dogs to
be killed are placed in an alright
apartment large enough to admit 100 at
time, for sometimes a large number
must be disposed of at once. and by
means of apparatus chloroform is intro
duced, and the poor creatures quietly 60
to sleep never to waken.
A crematorium has been erected in
connection with the home, which is the
common grave of the dogs destroyed,
and the bones are afterward sold, the
proceeds being used toward the ex-
penses of the institution. One of the
waits, noble great Newfoundland, now
owned by lady who is interested in the
home, begs upon the wharves, and the
last year collected in box suspended
from his neck about twenty-five dollars,
which, no doubt, from grateful heart,
he was most happy to present to the
home.
Connected with the dogs home is a
cats house, where stray Tommies are
cared for and pet Tables are boarded
to accommodate their indulo MT owners;
and as more than $3.50 dollars was last
year received for board, it is quite
evident that this institution is appre-
ciated.
The Queen and the Prince of Wales
are the patrons of the home, the former
giving fifty dollars every year towards
its support. No dog is allowed to be
taken away from the Institution unless
it is claimed or sold; all who enter the
door of this home may reasonably ex-
pect forever after a comfortable, happy
life-Well-SprinU

HE WAS FORGIVEN.
A Wee Boys Mother Couldn't Stand His
Calm Resignation.

A Wee Boys Mother Couldn't Stand His
Calm Resignation.
A Lewiston little boy declared phil
osophic independence and accepted the
consequences in so matter-of-fact way
that it may make story, even if it is
not so very funny. His mother dressed
him up in new flannel shirt and sent
him to school. The shirt irritated his
cuticle, or, in other words he, itched.
When he came home that night he was
cross, and very cross for so small boy,
and he declared he and the shirt had
parted company forever. The next
morning, as the mother prepared to dress
him for school the boy drew the line at
the shirt NO" said he, II don't
wanter wear that shirt" A brief debate
ensued, in which the boy appeared to
have formed his opinion and to have de-
clded to stick to it. The question, when
put to the house, was carried by the boy,
who would not don the shirt.
''lf you will not wear it." said his
mother, 81 will send you back to bed"
Back to bed he went. He got no din
ner. Afternoon came. A neiphbor
went into see him, his mother telling
her that she had bad bow upstairs.
The boy lay there in bed wide awake.
his little cheeks flushed with the situa-
ton, but showing no sign of change of
heart.
Don't you want to go to school3's
asked the neighbor.
SCHOOL, was the reply. 81 shall
never go to school again"
Don't you want top
Yes, but l can't. I've got to stay

FOR LETTER WRITER'S,
HOW to Begin Business Communicate
to a w. anan.

How to Begin a Business Communication
to n w snan.
The Courant has recently received
several inquiries as to how to begin a.
business letter to a woman, who is onIv
known by the letter she has written;
that is, how to open a reply to a
stranger.
A good deal depends upon the way the
woman writes. If she signs her letter
IA. Smith" and you only know she's a
woman because of feminine hand
writing, then reply to "a. Smith, no
Mr., Mrs. or Miss, and, in your letter,
either go right ahead without any affec-
ton or else say: Dear Sir" The pre-
sumption is that "a. Smith is either
man. or a woman who wishes she was
a man, and will be proud to be called
Sir.
On the other hand, if your letter is
signed "Arabella Smith," then it is for
you to reply to Arabella Smith as a
woman, but if she does not indicate
whether she is Mrs. or Miss land she can
put those in parentheses, if she dislikes
either being Mrs. or being Miss, then
1t is safer for you to begin your letter
right off with business than to stop to
call her Dear Either, for you may guess
wrong. Miss says Webster is the
title ''for a young woman or girl. :"
Madame" says Webster" is the title
for lady, especially an elderly or
married lady" and the Imperial Die.
tionary'' says it is ''for married wom-
an"
If Arabella happens to sign as Mrs. }
Arabella Smith, you can safely address
her as Dear Madame but. if she
signs as Miss .Arabella Smith, then
there is need of very nice discrimina-
ton. There is loud call for the gifts
OF seership. If you call her dear
Madame" you are assuming that she is
"elderly'-an assumption that is the
more thoroughly resented according as
1t is the better grounded. The nearer
right you are, the greater the error. If
you call her Dear Miss and she isn't
young enough for that title to fit. then
you are open for criticism again. The
safe course is to address the unknown
this way: Miss Arabella Smith. NV
Dear Miss Smith, your letter is re-
ceived." or else miss Arabella Smith.
your letter is received" The indis-
criminate use of Madame" is a mis-
take, and it is sometimes wise to delhi
crate about the use of ssDear. Hart

AT HEART.

Where shall we roam, when ways are sere,
and gray
The sky looks down, and sounds Of revel are
AS breezy means upon lonely moor;
When music's harmonies bring tears, and all
The faces of our friends grow cold with life
That, like ghost, appears and vanshes?
Space holds no spot so gentle and so bright
That there we lose the chillness of the mock
That we shall never know our origin,
Nor whittier bound, nor grander lore than
yet
Heroes of intellect have fought to win,
BY inches measuring the universe.
No region seen nor answer heard can bring
Peace and brave pride; but in the soul and
heart
Are powers for miracle and healing joy,
Are telescopes more subtle than for stars,
Are answers without words to all our love,
Though not sign for blasphcmy or fears.
Rose Hawthorne Lathrop, in Harper's
Monthly.

SUBSCRIPTION LAWS,
Decisions of the United States Courts on an
Interesting Subject.

decisions OF the united states Courts on an
Interesting Subject.
DIR. Tuckerman, editor of the Work
man, Cleveland, has taken some pains
to collect and compile the decisions of
the United States courts on this subject,
and gives as the result of his investiga-
ton the following:
1. Subscribers who do not give ex-
press notice to the contrary are consid-
cred as wishing to renew their subscrip-
tons.
2. If subscribers order the discontinue
ance of their periodicals, the publisher
may continue to send them until all ar
rearages are paid.
8. If subscribers neglect or refuse to
take their periodicals from the post
Office to which they are directed, they
are responsible until they have settled
their bills and ordered them discon-
tinued.
4. If subscribers move to other places
without informing the publisher, and
the papers are sent to their former ad-
dress, they are held responsible.
5. The courts have decided that re-
fusing to take periodicals from the Of
fee, or removing and leaving them I'M
called for, is prima facie evidence of in
territorial fraud.
6. If subscribers pay in advance they
are bound to give notice at the end of
the time if they do not wish to continue
taking it; otherwise the publisher is au-
thorized to send it, and the subscriber
will be responsible until an express no.
tice, with payment of all arrearages, is
sent to the publisher.
The latest postal laws are such that
newspaper publishers can arrest any one
for fraud who takes paper and refuses
to pay for it. Under this law the man
who allows his subscription to run along
for some time unpaid and then orders it
discontinued, or orders the postmaster
to mark it refused" and have postal
card sent notifying the publisher, leaves
himself liable to arrest and fine, the
same as for theft.

CHINESE HUMANITY,
The Queer Proclamation Issued BY the Coy
ernOr of Ninpn0.

The Queer Proclamation Issued BY the Gov
ernor of Ningpo.
The great officials of China, being all
learned men chosen from among the
scholars of the Kingdom, are able to
write their proclamations in the most
approved style, and often drop into
poetry" in formal state documents.
This official poetry is not rhymed, but
is kind of six-syllabled blank verse.
The Governor of Ningpo, one of the
most beautiful and picturesque, as we'll
as one of the most learned, of Chinese
cities, has recently issued a very inter-
esting proclamation of this sort. 1t is
addressed to the farmers upon the rich
plains about Ningpo, which are famous
in the history of Chinese agriculture,
and a very humane and delightful proc
lamation it is. 1t runs as follows:
Frogs are produced in the midst of
your fields; although they are little
things, they are small human beings in
form.
"They cherish lifelong attachment
to their native soil, and at night they
melodiously sing in concert with sweet
voices. Moreover, they protect your
crops by eating locusts, thus deserving
the gratitude of the people.
''Why go after dark with lanterns,
scheming to capture the harmless and
useful creatures? Although they may
be nice favoring for your rice, it is
heartless to fay them. Henceforward
it is forbidden to buy or sell them, and
those who do so will be severely pun
iShed.
"Sparrows, too, sing at their season
sweetly in the trees. They are not like
wolves, tigers or leopards, which may
take to injuring men when they grow
large. Why go out with nets to catch
them from the hills and woods?
''Know that for the strong to slay the
feeble for food is the way of wild beasts
and rapacious birds. Resist the desire
OF your mouths and stomachs for savory
meats, and thus act in harmony with
Heaven, which loves to preserve life.
''Both these kinds of creatures you
ire forbidden to catch henceforth. Do
not flatter yourselves that after this
warning the punishment for disobedi-
once will be mild. Youths Companion
