On Helvellyn, in the county of Cum
berland, England, a monument has JUS
been erected to the memories of mar
and dog. The man was killed in 1s0'
by falling from one of the high crags or
the ridge that joins Standing Edge tc
the summit. This dog, little yellow
rough haired terrier, was his companion
and was found watching over the re-
mains three months afterward. She had
given birth to puppies that were found
dead by her side. 1t is believed that
she maintained hfe by bits of oarrion
sheep not unfrequently found on the
hills, The accident was probably caused
by false step during hail storm, as the
man, Charles Cough, was returning to
Wythburn, where he lodged, from fish
Ing excursion in Patterdale. The dog
died few years afterward.
'THAT gold ring said the owner OF
it, in New York, ''is made of African
gold, and came to me from trader on
the gold coast of West Africa, who got
it somehow while trading with one OF
the tribes. There is very delicate fancy
work on it. Yet it was all done by the
native African workmen with the rude
tools that have been in use among them
from time immemorial, and which con
sist of sharp pointed pieces OF iron OF
steel. 1t is encircled, as you see, with
the signs Of the Zodiac, like some Other
ancient rings found there, and it is be-
lieved that they got these signs from
Egypt many ages ago. The probability
is that it was magical ring, used by the
priests of the tribe in the worship OF
Mumbo-Jumbo."
WHILE cleaning out an old we'll on his
premises Adolphe Berthalot, French
restaurant-keeper of Marengo, Iowa, re-
Gently discovered tin tobacco-box con-
tanning a necklace of diamonds set in
gold, two ruby and pearl rings and six
pairs of gold bracelets, the whole valued
at 81 800. From the appearance of the
box and the jewelry they must have lain
in the well for good many years. The
clasp of the necklace bears the initials
X. M. and the date October 3, 1901. The
stones, though small, are of the first
water and are the work of first-class
lapidary. Berthalot turned over his
find to the city authorities to be held fol
identification, failing which the articles
will become his property.
THE fact that horse at full trot il
sometimes, at all events, entirely in tho
air without any of its feet touching the
ground, has been proven by an instanta
neous photograph taken by M. Often
helm, vice president of the Versailles
Photographic Society. The picture
shows the horse trotting in dog cart
with single occupant, and the shad-
ows on the ground clearly demonstrate
that all its feet are in the air. The legs,
both fore and hind, are spread, the right
fore and left hind legs being advanced,
while the left fore and right hind legs
are pointing backwards. The left fore leg
is little bent at the knee.
ONoNDAGA, the premier sire of Milton
Young's McGrathiana farm, was in 1884
deprived of his sight, the reason given
for the mutilation being the horses un-
governable temper, which made him un-
safe to his kind as well as to his atten-
dants. And now the story comes from
Kentucky that the original operation,
which consisted of puncturing each eye.
ball with needle, could not have been
complete one, as after all these years
the horses sight has been returned to
himl The case as quoted by the Ken
tuck.ans is without a parallel in the his.
tory of the horse anywhere.

local authorities.
THE imperial court at Leipsic, which
is now the supreme tribunal in Germany,
has just given judgment in case which
has been proceeding for nearly 200 years.
