A Four.Legged Thief.

A butcher in Berne was astonished
one day recently at seeing his dog run
into his shop and lay down at his feet
the sum of two hundred and fifty francs
in the shape of a two-hundred franc
note and one fifty-franc note. He car
ried the money Immediately to the po-
lice Office, but it was not until some
hours later that the owner was dis
covered. Another butcher sent notice
that he had suddenly lost two hundred
and fifty francs and could not discover
the thief, as it had happened while he
was alone in the shop, and had been in
his hand moment before he lost it.
The dog thief, according to the Berner
Zeitung, had paid visit to his colleague
in the shop Of the owner Of the notes,
and when the owners back was turned
had stolen the money and scampered off
with it to his own master. It is possible
that the dog had come to his own con-
clusion about the value Of the bank
notes.

Worship a Log.

There is a log ofyellowish colored wood
standing just outside of Chi Hua gate,
Pekin. This log has remained in its
present position since the fall of the
old Wing dynasty. 1t is in good preser-
walton and has commanded the respect
of all classes and conditions Of people.
Insects in China usually make inroads
on timber in a. very short while, but
they are said never to alight upon this
sacred tree trunk, and it is true that
they have not left a single trace Of their
work upon it, while the timbers in every
direction are perfect honeycomb of
insect work. The Chinese people believe
that the log is the habitation of some
god, and on that account gather and
worship at it's base at least once year.
Among the higher classes the day for
this unique species of worship is the first
of each succeeding month unless that
day should happen to be new-moon
day. October of every year the en-
peror commands the board of ceremon-
les to appoint committee to pay theD
respects to the deifed log.

INCREDIBLE STORIES.
Told Concerning South America by Walter
RALEIGH and Other Travellers.

| Told Concerning South America by Walter
Raleigh and Other Travellers.
It was in 1850 that Raleigh pub-
lished the highly-colored story Of his
Discovery of the Large, Rich and
Beautiful Empire of Guiana" Mos:
writer's of the day were led by Indian
reports to affirm that the golden city of
Manoa, upon the banks of Lake Pari1ae,
was to be found near the Maroni river
in what is now known as French Guiana.
Wherever it was, Raleigh did not hest
tate to inform Queen Elizabeth that
these reports were true. Finally, the
Spaniard, Martinez, who had a most
brilliant imagination, declared that he
had spent nearly a year IN Manoa, OF
which he gave an elaborate description.
He said the city was of enormous size
and it's population almost inrumerable.
/ Not less than three thousand workmen
could be seen at their daily toll in the
principal street. The emperor's palace,
built of white marble, ornamented with
gold occupied a beautiful island.
Three artificial mountains environed
the palace. One of them was Of solid
gold, another of silver and the third Of
salt, which was protected in some mys-
ferrous manner from dissolution. The
palace was supported on columns Of ala
baster and porphyry. Around it were
galleries of ebony and cedar, the wood
work lavishly inlaid with gold and
precious stones. Two towers guarded
the entrance, each twenty-five feet in
height, and surmounted by immense
moons OF silver. Two living lions were
attached to the foot Of the columns by
chains Of gold. In the palace was a
large square, adorned with silver foun-
tains and vases, into which water ran
through four gold pipes, The king was
called Ell Dorado, on account Of the
splendor Of his costume. Among the
mountains all around were inexhausti-
BILE mines, the source of this splendor.
European credulity was strong enough
to give life for years to such nonsensical
yarns, says the New York Sun, and
probably no traveller in the Maroni VAL
ley from Crevaux to Brunette has failed
to contrast the actual poverty of the re-
gion with the glittering descriptions Of
Raleigh and Martinez.

A STRANGE STORY.
The Killing of a Great Serpent No LESS
Than 11S Years Old.

Than 1lE Years Old.
EARLY in January of the present year
a woodman engaged in chopping some
of the monster oaks in the northern
part of the great ''Blacl< Forest" Ger
many, and who had built fire against
a large dead log, preparatory TO partak-
ing of his middle meal, was surprised
to see serpent of gigantic proportions
crawl from the log as soon as the rot
ten wood had got we'll warmed through.
The day was bitter cold, and the snake
only made a few yards over the frozen
ground until his convolutions became
smaller and smaller, until he finally
ceased to wiggle and quietly coiled up
near large pile of brush. The sturdy
German chopper, who had been more
surprised than scared, waited until the
creature had become thoroughly be-
numbed with the cold, and then ap-
preached and dispatched him with his
ak. Measurements showed the Shiny
creature to be twenty-seven feet, six
inches in length, and nearly fifteen
inches through the body in the middle.
But the most curious part of the story
, is VoU 10 OG GCltl. OuSO DitCh VI tIC 41u~
mense head, which was eleven inches
in length and almost as broad, a little
gold ring had been put through the
skin. It was in the form of two rings
rather than one, being shaped not I'M
like figure s. One part Of the ring
was through the skin, while the other
was through a hole in a small copper
coin bearing date of 1712. One side Of
the coin was perfectly smooth, with
the exception Of these letters and fig
ures, which had evidently been cut on
it with a pocketknife, the workmanship
being very rough: "Louis Krutzer, B.
G. o. 1781.'' Some of the older inhab-
itants of the 'tBlack Forest" remember
hearing their parents tell of ''zrutzer,
the serpent charmer,' and they all unite
in declaring that this gigantic serpent
was formerly the property of the old
scharmer, and that it was at least one
hundred and fifteen years old when
killed by the woodchopper on that cold
January day of 1891.

Transcript
"Only my sincere goodwill to the
Transcripts leads me to take even a little
trouble TO state why hold that the pro-
hibition amendment should not pass. 1t
should not pass because it is unnatural,
wrong-headed and impossible un-
natural, because it attempts to bind the
passion OF drunkenness with an outside
law. instead of drying it up with an inner
grace of good morals and self-respect;
wrong-headed and ill-judged, because, as
the event is likly to show, after all the
expense, raneor and ill-blood engendered
in the debate, not only will this amend
ment fail to pass, but proofs will not be
wanting that, had it passed, it would
have been an aggravation of drunken
ness-an ally of practically free rum
impossible, because to eXterminate
drunkenness or any other sin is what
God never undertakes to do, and what
man never did nor can ever do. Law
represses; does not, can not, exter-
inmate. Local option and high
license repress, regulate, iii my humble
Judgment, and do not attempt the folly
OF exterminati1g, as the prohibition
amendment does. To cry out against our
present system that it fails to prevent
crying evils is only TO say that this is the
world, and to say that the proposed sys-
TEN will cure these evils is to say, in the
same breath, that this is not the world,
but heaven can not see in the new
amendment anything but the cid pro-
hibition law new-vamped, where what
is old was a failure twenty years ago,
and what is new is only an untried folly.
"There Is business aspect to the pro-
posed amendment which ought to make
sober citIzens think twice before they
vote once that way. The amendment,
if voted, would confiscate millions of dol
lars invested in breweries under State
law, not out OF the world, but out OF the
State, and Massachusetts, drunkards
would only get rum from Rhode Island
or New Hampshire, where they now get
it at home. To drive mad dog out Of
your garden into your neighbours may
show some charity to yourself but prec-
ious little to your neighbor.
These are my opinions. am

on the same right for myself.
What elain; is that the friends Of pro-
hibition by constitutional amendment
shall not pose either rs the pre-eminent
or the only friends OF Christianity, good
morals or philanthropy. to the exclusion
of men who differ from them. They are
in a minority in Massachusetts,; in the
civilized world they are 4 very small
minority. To discuss in the name Of
the Christian religion any question
throwing stones and mud at your opqo-
nents will only remind the Christian OF
what st. Paul says, that man without
charity is only as sounding brass OF

attention Of the public to the fact that
pure water is one OF the principal agents
in preserving health and insuring per-
feet comfort in household. The germ
of our most malignant diseases can be
traced back to impure water.
The filter works easily, and, ike
magic, turns the impurest water into
perfectly coEorless and absolutely pure
liquid.
This apparatus is attached TO the or
binary water-pipe and filters rapidly. Il
is displacing the old slow-working filters
