Falling into Line.

Some novel instances of intelligence
and human-like traits in animals
have recently come under our notice.
A terrier dog at Yverdon, Switzer-
land, pays regular visits at Lausanne,
going over and returning by train,
and always getting out at the right
stations. A cat at Montreux, which
can open doors, heard another cat
outside mewing to get in. No one
answering the request, it rose from
the chair on which it was sleeping,
walked across the room to the door,
opened it and let it's friend in. A tow
horse on Boston street car, when
his turn to work is about to come,
quietly drops back behind his fellows,
so as to be last in line and evade the
work ne was to do. A horse, stabbed
with his mate and third horse; stole
hay from the stranger to give to his
mate, while he was contented with the
ration that had been allotted him; and
- horse in team, nibbling some rich
grass on his side, gave at intervals
mouthfuls of it to his companion,
which could not reach 1t. Popular

Montenegro's Sudden Spring.

The "Jack-in-the-box bow is prac.
ticed by the Prince of Montenegro,
who is said to be the LATEST monarch
in Europe. The Prince is young and
active, but he is too lazy to get on his
feet to bow to his subject when they
cheer him. So ne had a carriage made
with powerful strings, under the
seat which the Prince always occu-
pied. The artisan who made the
springs was afraid they wouldn't be
powerful enough, and SO he made the
strongest springs ever seen in Monten-
egro.
On the first fete day after the car
riage was completed the Prince of
Montenegro rode through the streets
to his capital. The happy people be-
gan to cheer him. He touched a but
ton on the carriage seat, so that he
might be lifted to his feet and bow
The seat rose SO suddenly and rapid
ly that it threw the Prince of Mon
tenegro out of his carriage. The acct
dent gave rise to the the false report
that an attempt had been made to
assassinate him.-New York Jour

AN EYE TO BUSINESS.
Why Big Man Submitted to Abus,
From a Little One.

From Little one.
About midnight one night three men
were standing at the corner of Wood
ward and Jefferson avenues, apparent
ly waiting for car, says the Detroit
Free Press, when O quarrel arose and
q little fellow in gray suit began to
berate a much larger man in the most
vigorous manner, while the third party
acted as q witness:
"You miserable cur" Kissed the lit
tie fellow, "you--"
Hold on" expostulated the big
one, "you have no"
"You low-lived scoundrel; you liar;
you thief" continued the little man;
"Say, now, come off," begged the
other party.
"You coward" went on the little
man, and kept at him in the same
style until the big man walked away,
followed by the third party, leaving
the little man cursing like q trooper.
On the other side of the street the
big man stopped and his friend caught
up with him.
"What the deuce did you take that
sort of talk for?" he exclaimed angri-
ly. "Why didn't you smack him in
the mouth?
81 couldn't do it," replied the big
man.
"You must have been afraid of him,
guess" said the other sarcastically.
"No, | wasn't, but had good reas-
ons not to hit him."
"What in thunder were they?"
"Well, you see, ] just got him this
morning to take out an accident pol
icy in a new insurance company pve
taken charge of, which pays him $50
q week in case he gets hurt and, by
George, | didn't want to queer my
own company right on the start by
humping the little cuss out of sight
and sticking the company for $500 or
| $500. OF course | didn't like his talk,
but my motto is business before plea
sure, and | kept my hands off. See?''
The other man saw, because he had
an eye for business himself, and the
twain walked off up towards the Cam
| pus Martius.

TeIegraphIng With Cannons.

When the first vessel completed the
passage of the then new Erie
canal, in 1925, there being no such
thing as telegraph in those days, the
news was communicated to New York
and to Buffalo by cannOns placed
within hearing of each other all the
way long from Albany to each OF the
other cities. The signal was, passed
along in this way from Albany in
fifty eight minutes. The experiment
was a costly one but was a success in
every particular.-St. Louis Republic.

NIAGARA STOPPED FLOWING.
The Water Froze and the Falls We're
Dry for Short Time.

Dry for a Short Time.
It seems almost incredible, says the
Toronto Globe, that at one time in
it's history the greatest and most
wonderful waterfall in the world actu-
ally ran dry. Nevertheless, it is an
established fact that occurred on
March 20, 1913, and for few hours
scarcely any water passed over
Niagara Falls. The winter ofthat year
had been an exceptionally severe one,
and ice of unusual thickness had
formed on Lake Erie. The warm
spring rains loosened this CONCEALED
mass, and on the day in question
brisk east wind drove the ice far into
the lake. About sunset the wind sud-
denly veered round, and blew a heavy
guile from the west. This naturally
turned the ice in It's course, and,
bringing it down to the mouth of the
Niagara River, piled it up in a solid,
impenetrable wall
So closely was it packed and so
great was it in force that in short
time the outlet to the lake was COM
pletely choked up, and little or no
water could possible escape. In a
short space Of time the water below
this frozen barrier passed over the
falls, and the next morning the people
living in the neighborhood were treat
ed to q most extraordinary spectacle.
The roaring tumbling rapids above
the falls were almost obliterated, and
nothing but the cold, black rocks were
visible in all directions. The news
quickly spread and crowds OF specta-
tors tiocked to view the scene, the
banks on each side of the river being
lined with people during the whole
day. At last there was a break in the
ice it was released from its restraint,
the pent-up wall OF water rushed
downward, and Niagara was itself
again.
