There is n great deal of money, con-
siderable time and any amount Of pa
tience expended on dogs in the city of
New York. Why n man wants TO keep
dog in a great big, hot close city the
year around is enough to stagger the
reasoning faculties But men do keep
them and go to any amount of trouble
and expense to do So According to
the city statistics there are now about
seven thousand licensed dogs in New
York, and, according to general i'm
pressions, there are some ten thousand
unlicensed. There are dog refugees,
dog hospitals, dog doctors, dog fan
ciers, dog peddlers dog catchers and
dog stores-all of which represent a
good deal of money. Outside of the
usual ladies' pets it always seemed to
me to be cruelty to animals to keep
dog in a city. There are fine hunters,
worth considerable money, kept in
flats the year around all over town.
They don't see the country FIVE days
out of the year possibly, and some of
them never see it. The inconvenience
and annoyance of these dogs to other
people greatly increase the wear and
tear of every day existence. Dogs are
the bette noir of the New York land

They are So Rare That They VIII Soon
Command Premium.
Few people who handle pennies every
day are aware of the rarity of the one
cent piece of 1877. The coinage, as re-
ported by the mint for that year, does
not appear small, for the mint year ends
June 80, and does not therefore indi-
cate how many Of coinage bear the
calendar year for that date. Thus the
coinage for the year ending June 80
1876, including half of the year 1875,
and the coinage for the year ending
June 80, 1877, comprised half of the
year 1877.
Business during 1877 was at very
low ebb and little demand existed for
pennies. Few were minted. therefore,
while in 1875 and 1878 the call was ur-
gent. 1t is doubtful il the exact num-
ber stamped "1S77" is known even to
the mint officers themselves. An in
quirer was informed by then in Febru-
ary, 1878, that less than ten thousand
had been stamped. This would mean
nm Issue of less than n million. In
point of fact, however it is probable
that the actual coinage was far less.
coin collector began in 1881 record
OF the number of pennies passing
through his hands, and took the per-
centage of 1877 to the other dates. In
1881 he found the percentage'to be .004s,
in 1889 it was .0034, in 1888 it was .0032,
in 1884 it was .O02s. The record was
abandoned after that, but from time to
time examinations were made which
showed the percentage had moved
nearer the zero point.
An examination of quart of pennies
collected this year from a slot machine
showed but one of the 1877 date. I'm
fortunately, the examiner did not learn
how many pennies there were in the
lot, so the present percentage can not
be given.
In n bankers window on Nassau
street, near Ann, is frame containing
sixteen of 1877 date, showing that one
man at least has awakened to their
rarity. One collector who has been on
the lookout since January, 1878, has
secured eighty-four Of this date Look
over your change hereafter and pick
out all the 1S77's, as they are becoming
valuable, and being a current coin no
collection will be complete without
one.-N. Y. Commercial Advertiser.

Ride and Tie.

"Ride and tie" is an old Salem say
ing. Two men would start out on a
journey with one horse. One would
ride specified distance, then, dis
mounting and tying the horse, he would
walk on to the next changing place,
where he would find the horse tied and
waiting for him, having been ridden
there by the man who started out afoot
And SO the whole distance would be
traversed, each one riding and walking
in turn. The item "Ride and tie and
go to Boston" is found in an old ac-
count book, at charge of -four and
six-pence. ."-Boston Transcript.

"A lake has wonderfully temper
ing effect on the climate. Thus, ac-
cording to M. Forcl, the quantity of
heat accumulated in the lake of Gene
va during the summer of 1889 was
equal to that given off by the combus-
ton of $1,000, 900 tons of coal, or the
amount carried by coal train 1,12O

the heat is discharged into the air of

producing milder temperature in au-
tumn and winter.

A Blaze in the Lumber Exchanges
Building Causes Heavy Loss.
MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, Feb. 26, 8 A. M
The fire that started in the Glare Speaker
paint works, on Fifth street, last night at

be the most disastrous fire Minneapolis has

ably under control. but the damage to

be fire proof, and burned fiercely. The
water did not reach above the seventh or
eighth stories, and the firemen were nearly
powerless. st. Paul was called upon for

FINALLY CONQUERED.
MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 30, z p. M.--After q
fight of eleven hours the fire department
succeeded In confining to the four upper
stories OF the lumber exchange the flames
which il was thought at one time would
certainly consume the building. The structs
ure looked Like veritaDle ice palace after
the fire. The walls as high as the hose can
throw water six or seven stories, are covered
q foot thick with ice, and the sidewalks
against the building are piled five to eigha
feet high with ice, formed from the wates
running down from above. The Losses have
been greatly exaggerated, being placed az
high as 100000. The total loss, however,
foots up $l02, 200, practically all insured.
