Railroad Dog.

Napoleon is dog belonging to an
engineer on the Denver & Rio Grande
Railroad. He has been engaged with
his master for the past two years In
running locomotive. His apprentice
ship commenced at the early age Of six
months. His first trip was not sue
cess on account of fright This was
speedily overcome. He can now go
into the round-house where twenty
eight engines are domiciled, single out
and mount his own machine, and, in the
absence of his master or his fireman
defend it against all intruders. He
rides on the freman's side Of the cab
with his front paws and head hanging
out of the window, intently watching
the track. He frequently scents cat
tie mile or more distant. When they
appear in sight he becomes greatly ex-
cited, looking first at the cattle and
then at his master, as though trying to
make him comprehend the grav-
ity of the situation. On nearer
approach he sets up cry
similar to that of human being. Ii
necessary to come to a full stop, he
bounds out of the cab, runs ahead, and
loses no time in convincing the tres
passers of the importance of finding
some other stamping ground. When
necessary to communicate with help at
the pumping stations, frequently at
long distances from the track, note is
written and given to the dog; he de-
livers it speedily and returns with the
reply. Signals to start from his own
engine are readily interpreted by him,
but he pays no more attention to the
whistles and bells of other engines than
to cattle grazing on the sides of the
road His olfactory powers are so keen
that he has frequently given his master
timely warning against stock that, il
struck, might have resulted seriously.

Frenchmen Surprised at SnowbaIIs.

The first snow of the season reminds
an artist friend Of snowstorm which
he experienced at Avignon, in the south
Of France, year or two ago. No snow
had been seen at Avignon for twenty
years previous and the surprised French
men knew not what to make of it. An
amusing sight it was to see them try to
make snowballs and pelt one another.
Experience had never taught them the
art which hevery New England boy learns
as soon as he leaves his cradle, and they
handled the snow as daintily as does q
cat, when she lifts her paws one by one
in o surprised manner and shakes them
before she puts them down again. Two
American artists found great delight
in making snowballs and engaging in the
fray, and they soon put the entire vii
lage Of Frenchmen hors du combat.
You put stones in them" they cried
when obey felt the power Of an espe-
cially hard SNOWFALL. They were shown
chat this was not true, but they could
not understand how the Americans
could make their missiles 50 hard or
throw them with such force and ac-
curacy. The villagers of Avignon will
no doubt long remember their Waterloo
at the hands Of the two American artists.

Gently condemned all social and polite

ought to tell him that you are not glad
to see him, but that, on the contrary,
you are sorry to see him, and that you
wish he would go, This sort of brutal
frankness would not do in the pulpit,
as a critic of the clergyman has pointed
out. A clergyman might as well quit
preaching who would begin his sermons
as follows: "My selfish, mostly ignor-
ant and despicable hearers, I should
like to call your prayerful attention to
my text, but I know many of you are
thinking about other matters and that
you do not come here to learn piety,
but rather to show your good clothes

He Didn't Notice.

A gentleman, living in India, sus-
pected that his milk was watered, al
though his faithful native servant pro-
tested that this could not be, as the
milking was begun and finished in his
presence.
The master provided himself with a
lactometer and the suspicion became a
certainty. Summoning the servant, he
told him that the little instrument
floating in the milk could not lie nor be
deceived.

there is twenty-five per cent of water in
this milk"
"Your Lordship speaks the truth, .
answered the man, 'but how could |
tell lie? The milk was drawn in my
presence.
"Do you mean to say that you were
there all the time the animal was being
milked?"
"The- whole time, your Lordship.
Would I give those wretches chance
of watering the Sahib's milk?"
Are you sure there was no water in
the pail before the milking began?"
"Your Lordship, I made the man
turn the pail upside down and

over in his own mind, it occurred tt
him that the lactometer, being Of En-

His Last Concert.

One of the most pathetic of sights
was that seen in the Boston Music Hall
at the last concert given by Mario, the
once famous tenor. He was poor, and
the hall was filed with persons who
had been ardent admirers of his wonder
full art, and now that he had lost his art
were willing to put money in his purse.
The tenor tried one of his great
songs, but his decayed voice refused to
sing the notes. Again he tried, and
again he failed. Then, with sad
smile and slow, mournful movement
of the head, he suffered the orchestra
to play through the air, and retired
from the stage amid the silence of the
pitying audience.
Another pathetic story is told of
Bottesini, famous violinist, concerning
his last concert at Parma:
It was a rainy evening, and the man
ayers had forgotten to send carriage
for the veteran, who set out on foot,
and had gone some distance before a
passing friend perceived him and made
him enter his carriage.
Arrived at the concert-room, Bottesini
tuned his instrument and began to rub
his bow with rosin. The rosin crum-
bled in his hands, and, turning to his
friends with half sad smile, he said,
"See, it is SO that Bottesini, too, will
break up"
Then he grasped his loved instru-
ment and drew the bow across the
strings, but instantly stopped with q
wondering look, for he felt something
strange in the tone, his touch was an.
swered less readily and certainly than
of old.
Once more he tried, and once more
stopped, this time with smile, saying
only, aIt answers no more" His audi
ence perceived nothing unusual in the
performance, which they applauded as
warmly as ever, but Bottesini seemed
J to feel the shadow of death.
On the following day he was stricker
with illness, and soon after the wonder
full hand was stilled forever.
