A Dogs Strange Instinct.

This experiment was tried few years
ago with a young Ohio foxhound: Hav-
ing noticed the dogs talent for finding
his way through the streets of large
city, a number of sportsmen agreed to
try his skill by harder test, and one
evening put him in a box and took him
away on night train, after making sure
that he was altogether unable to guess
the direction of his trip. A hundred
miles south of the Ohio River they left
the train at place called Kings Noun
tain, and the same night took their
prisoner to farmhouse in the hills,
about seven miles east of the railroad.
Here the dog was locked up in q dark
stable and carried to hunting ground
in the adjoining fields the next morn
ing. After guiding him in a zfg-zag
course through hedges and gullies the
experimenters then turned the dog
loose and sat down ON the ridge of a
hill to watch his movements. At first
he seemed rather afraid to stray too far
away, thinking, perhaps, that he would
be recaptured at the first attempt to
leave his kidnappers, but finding they
showed no disposition to interfere with
his freedom, he made his way across a
bushy ravine, and then struck a path
leading in the direction-not of the
farmhouse or the next railway station,
but due northeast, toward the valley of
the Licking River and his far-away
Ohio home. That was the last the
guests of the Kentucky farmer saw of
their dog that day, but before the end
of the week he turned up all right at
the door of his master, ninety-five miles
in bee line from the place where he
had been turned loose.
So much was certain, that he could
not have retraced his trip by 3 scent.
The car that took him away from the
Ohio Valley was down in Texas by that
time; there were at least twenty small
rivers and brooks to cross before he
could reach the end of his journey or
any point south of the Ohio he had ever
before seen in his life. Could the
smoke of large city have guided him
back? There were other smoky towns
all around, and, besides, dogs will re-
turn to solitary farmstead in the hills
Just as quick as to city home.-Chi-

had been wounded l knew what was in
store for me. He would get some small
satisfaction for his humiliation by put
ting me to the torture. The courier
did not wait to go with US, but rode off
to notify small party which had been
sent off in another direction.
During the entire day I had been
passive, and betrayed no anxiety, tell
ing the guards that I had friends at the
fort who would pay the chief big ransom
for me. This lulled their vigilance, and
they treated me more as a guest than a
prisoner. Another friend had been
working in my interest during the day,
but did not discover it until an hour
before the courier arrived. A bottle
of whisky had in some manner come
into possession of the guards. The bot
tie was kept out of sight, and it was
only when their demeanor BETRAYED
them that 1 knew what they had been
up to. None of them was drunk, but
all were happy and quite good natured.
1t was after o'clock before we were
ready to set out. The five ponies and
the station horse were brought up and
anu 1ulS WOGh WAS
doEe by three of the warriors, while
the other two were gambling tor
blanket. l sat about ten feet away
from them. There had been no time
since noon when l could not have cast off
my bonds at will. There had been no
opening for escape, but one was made
now in a manner totally unexpected.
The two gamblers got into a violent
dispute, and the three warriors ap-
preached to quiet them. Some one was
struck, and this led to quite a row.
The instant it began cast off the
thongs, whirled about, and at one jump
was beside the pony. Five seconds
later was in the saddle and digging
his ribs, and believe was out of the
grove before 1 was missed. Every
horse followed mine and went to the
south as fast as horse-hesh ever trav-
eled the plains. Half a dozen shots
were fired after me from the grove, but
they only added to our speed. The
run lasted for ten miles before the pace
WAS decreased, and when night fell J.
had added six or seven more. To mid
night kept jogging, bearing to the
left to approach the fort from the east.
From midnight to daylight rested,
and at sunrise next morning was run
onto by wagon train and escort pro-
ceeding to the fort.

What Would He Say?

Exercise, with both men and women,
is question of intelligence consid-
Grafton of kind and quality, rather than
of degree. The subject has for women
peculiar embarrassments and limita-
tions, particularly in the close, house
bound life of the city. In the country
there are the natural morning duties,
with the open windows and the flooding
sunlight; the walk to the depot or for
the mail, quiet and calming; long piaz.
zas. In the city nine women out OF
ten are victims to the morning gown
and slippers. A mans hat, coat, and
gloves hang in the hallway, always in
readiness. What would he say if boots,
trousers, and coat were to be changed,
after an hour, before he could get out
for breath of air?
While many women still follow the
traditions of delicacy and helplessness
that have for so many years enshrined
and enfeebled their sex, yet they have
come, all the same, to understand,
through the efforts of many of their SIS
tiers who must perforce be strong, that
a poor physique puts woman at odds
and at the mercy of others when the
stress Of life comes. In the new creed
TO which women are given allegiance it
will come to be an article in time that
weakness, unless inherited, is sin. The
young woman of the future will fulfill
the poets ideal: "She gave him her
hand it was not helpless one. "-HGr-

The Photograph at Clinics.

Among the many uses which have
been proposed for the photograph one
has been found that is likely to become
practical. A prominent London hos
pital surgeon has lately employed the
photograph to record the characteristic
changes in voice sounds which mark a
variety of diseases. The experiments
were entirely successful, for the ma
chine reproduced the characteristic
vocalization of some diseases with real
istic effect. The whoop of the wAoop-
ingcough and the intervening criOs of
the little patient, and also the hoarse
utteranees of those suffering from acute
or chronic diseases of the throat or
lungs were wildly reproduced. This
new application of the photograph to
the purposes of diagnostic and chemical
instruction will revolutionize chemical
teaching in medical colleges, since it
will be possible to place series of
cylinders in every medical lecture-room,
which would give students q ife-like
reproduction of the characteristic sounds
of persons suffering from the many
throat and lung diseases.

Instinct Of Bees and Ants.

How insects, and especially bees and
ants, find their way back home is one of
the marvels of natural history. says a
writer in the st. Louis Globe Democrat
My wife keeps bees, and my little boy
has taste for entomology and is always
making experiments of one kind or
another with them and other insects.
He has been trying to find out how far
away q bee can be taken and not get
lost, but has not yet succeeded. I live
in the country, fourteen miles from the
court house, and during the summer
that boy has been In town with me q
dozen times, and on each occasion he
brought some bees along in little tin
box. He colored their wings with violet
ink, so that lie would know them again,
and let them go in the heart of the city.
The first time he did it he released six
bees at the Biddle street market. and I
believe they got home before we did,
because they were all on hand attend
ing to business the next morning, Just
as though they took q fourteen mile
journey every day. Occasionally bee
fails to come back, but in nearly every
instance they return in a few hours.

the fifteen walked in on me.
When an Indian is in good luck he is

An Intricate one.tion.

Some years ago two farmers of Polk
County lost their wives by death, says
the Des Moines Leader. They naturally
felt lonesome. and in due time began to
think a second wife in each household
would be a most excellent addition
thereto. They were neighbors and
friends, and each had family of chill
dren, including one or more grown
daughters. After careful consideration
each took the others daughter as his
second wife. Through these marriages
children were born to each. These
children now reside In Polk County.
What was the relationship between the
two men and their wives, and In what
relation did the children stand to each
other and to the old folks? The old
farmers were father-in-law to each
other and also sons-in-law to each other.
Who will carry out the relationship OF
the mothers and their children?

Greeley Ate with His Printers.

When Mr.. Greeley received presents
of fruit from the gentlemen" farmers
around, says the Tribune, he invariably
sent upstairs to the composing-room for
Tom" Rocker and had him take some
to %the boys"
ANY remonstrance would be met by
the reply: Il can get it; you can't.
Take it up and give it to them"
During campaign times, when the
men were unusually hard at work, Mr..
Greeley used to go to the composing
room, give a ten-dollar bill to the fore
msn, and say, There, let's have q
gorge"
A piece of clean paper was laid on
the imposing stone, the table was set
and food sent for. and Mr.. Greeley
would share the ilnprovised meal with
the men, laughing and joking with
them. He was known as The Printer"
among them. That name stuck to him
after man went TO the Office of the
NelD Yorker on some business, and was
told by the official whom he saw: %Oh,

An Episcopalian Horse.

Rev. DR.. Broadus, an old Baptist par
son, famous in Virginia, once visited a
plantation where the darkY who met
him at the gate asked him which barn
he would have his horse put in.
Have you two barns?" asked the
doctor.
"Yes, sab, replied the darkey; @dar's
de ole barn, and Mas'r Wales has jes
build new one"
Where do you usually put the horses
of clergymen who come to see your
master?"
"Well, sab, if dey's Methodis's or
Baptists's, we gen'ally put 'em in de ole
barn, but if dey's 'Piscopals We puts
'em in de new one"
well, Bob, you can put my horse in
the new barn; I'm Baptist, but my
horse is an Episcopalian."

ing: Children, without doubt, prefer
to be ruled just as true soldier accepts
proper discipline. They really like to
be made to mind In firm. just way.

emily much fatigued. His experience
with a nest of large black ants have
been equally satisfactory, for some
marked ants have found their way home
after being released more than mile
distant from the hollow tree in which
they lived. How they do it is aquestion,
but they generally dc, and so it is likely
the travels of both ants and bees are

Epidemic of suicide In Paris.

For some time past as many as twelve
to eighteen suicides have been regis
tered daily at the Prefecture of Police.
Sunday the total was eleven. In the
Rue Berthe woman suffering from q
nervous affection put an end to her
existence by swallowing tincture of
iodine. A diamond merchant named
Cohen III the Rue Maubeuge blew out
his brains for reasons that have not
been ascertained. An old man of go in
the Rue st. Martin committed suicide
in similar fashion. In the Rue des
Boulets man hanged himself, leaving
behind him a paper on which was
written; NO work, no bread. l have
not eaten anything for two days.
Enough of this. En- route for the tur-
nip-feld." Starvation also induced o
widow in the Rue de Palikao to suffo-
cate herself and daughter, aged ID,
with charcoal fumes. Two young
women drowned themselves in the
Seine, and an individual in the Rue des
Pyrenees poisoned himself with lauda-
mum. The annual statistics show that
an endemic of suicides takes place
regularly at the commencement of
spring and autumn. Last April the
morgue was occasionally filed to over
flowing with the bodies of suicides.
Drowning in the Seine is most gener-
ally selected in the spring; in the
autumn preference is given to asphyxia'
ton by charcoal fumes.-P1tblic Opi7l-

seven, while they suffered no loss
themselves. They got the horses,
partly destroyed three stages, and kept

ing that escape to the fort was cut off,
rode to the west in hopes to outrun
our pursuers. Unfortunately for me, I
was mounted on my own horse, who
had done sixty-five miles the day be-
fore and was jaded. For three miles
he showed a good leg, but then he be-
gan to weaken. We were then on level
ground, and 1 held him up with voice
and spur for another mile, or until we
gained a spot covered with outcrop-
ping of rock.

not blame them at all. They were only
employees of the stage company. None
of them had ever been at close quarters

they missed me. Poor fellowsi Had

nc Las. IsuaaIo l,unt

Buffalo have become so scarce that
anything concerning them has interest
for the general reader. The Laramie
Republican tells of hunting party
starting out from Laramie in search Of
buffalo, accompanied by expert las
soers, Their object is not to slaughter
the animals, but to lassoe them, and
bring them alive to Laramie. A herd
has been seen by several different par
ties during the past year, and its haunts
pretty well located. 1t IS supposed to
be now ranging on Red Desert, in Car
bon and Fremont Counties, and that is
the objective point of the Laramie
hunters. The latter take with them a
grub wagon and ten saddle horses, and
expect to be absent four months. If at
the end of that time they should return
with a half dozen or more buffalo,
they will have a property nearly as
valuable as gold mine, and will in ell
probability start buffalo ranch on the
Laramie plains, after the style of that
owned by Hon. G. ]. Jones, at Garden
City, Kan.
Buffalo" Jones, as he is Familiarity
known, has very large ranch at Gar
den City, on which he has some two
hundred head of full-blooded and
graded bison. He has made a great
success at breeding them with native
cattle, and finds that the animal thus
obtained is in many respects superior
to the bison, the robe, particularly, be-
ing of lovely seal brown, and as fine
as genuine sealskin. Jones has been
trying to get hold of all the buffalo left
on the continent, and two years ago
purchased the famous herd owned by
party near Winnepeg, paying a very
large price for them.
The only other herd known to exist
in this country is one at Bismarck
Grove, Colo, numbering fifteen and
owned by Col. II. Il. Stanton, of Kan
sas City. They are not for sale at any
price. One bull in the herd, named
Cleveland" is said to be the finest liv-
ing specimen of race now almost ex-
tinct. These cases are mentioned to show
the importance of the expedition now
on its way to Red Desert, should its OBJ
ject be accomplished.
That the capture of the herd is feast
bic is shown by the fact that few
months ago a cowboy who ran across
them Iassoed one, threwit, and branded
it, after which he turned it loose, the
State law making it a penitentiary Of
tense to kill buffalo. The difficulty
the party will encounter will not be SO
much to capture this noble game as to
get them to Laramie after they are
taken, as they are the most stubborn
and intractaDle brute on earth. It is
probable that they will be taken to the
nearest railroad station and shipped on
the cars. There is scarcely doubt
that this will be the last buffalo hunt in
the United States-it certainly will be
the last in Wyoming if successful, and
if through its means the species can be
increased and perpetuated the expedi-
ton will not have been undertaken in
vain. A full-blooded American bison
is worth from $500 to $4,000, where
they can be bought at ALL
