Panic Created by the Singing Insects
Dogs Fight the BUYERS.
There was funny occurrence last
fall at Baltimore. A sailor on an oyster
pungv. which had been cruising about
the oyster grounds off Mogothy River
landed with a MISUNDERSTANDING
watermelon under his right arm. The
mariner entered n nearby saloon and
laid the piece of fruit down.
1t being little late in the season for
melons a crowd gathered around to look
at the sailors find, and several of them
emphatically expressed doubts as to the
soundness of the melon. The sailor, in
nocent of what was inside it, said, to
prove the melon was in good shape. he
would plug it before carrying it to his
best girl, to whom he intended to pre-
sent it. He did so, and upon extracting
piece of the rind about 100 wasps flew
out and made things lively about the
place.
1t seems that the melon was some
what ovcrripe, and while lying neglected
In its bed family of wasps had bored a
small hole in one end of it and taken up
their abode therein. The man who
brought it to town rushed out of the
place with several of the insects settling
down upon his face, and in his hurry he
knocked over an Italian fruit stand, fell
On cat, which was nearly crushed to
death, and nearly knocked two police
men into the dock, The restaurant man

THE GUARDIAN ANGEL.
A Lullaby.

n
eapy, sleep and dread no harm; clasped in
that protecting arm,
Not breath Of III shall come TO thy angel
guarded home.
plder eyes may weeping waken, older hearts
may grieve forsaken,
Thou art safe in Graded rest birding in a hap
Py nest.
IT'S a weary world no doubt but thou hast not
found it out;
crly love has sheltered thee, from q thousand
perlls free.
Coming to the world stranger thou hast
known nor fear nor danger;
Little king from morn TO night, ruling in thy
sovereign right.
Golden head on pillow laid; violet eyes meath
silken shade;
Dimpled hands and dainty feet: cheeks like
roses, flushed and sweet
Gift OF gifts to mother given, making home an
earthly heaven,
Meath the spreading angel wings, where the
child's own angel sings.
Far and wide the angels fly, sweeping down
the starlit sky.
SOIue to watch DER beds of pain, some TO hover
DER the main.
This to bid bright dream perish, that sunny
hope to cherish,
But the dearest angel still guards the house
hold pet from i'll.
Here and there are brawl and strife, there and
here is buoyant life
Dancing feet that trip to measure, hearts that
throb with gayest pleasure.
In the baby's day is calm, isles of peace in seas
Of balm,
And the baby has no care, yet too young for
guile or snare
Life shall bring thee many a grace, baby, in
this holy place,
Health and wealth and youth and fire, love and
Joy and hearts desire.
Never in the time TO be shall the angel turn
from thee,
Never, till the heavens are dim, cease to chant
thy cradle hymn.
As watch the angel light IN that guardian
form tonight,
Something dual battles thought, strangely are
my fanciCs wrought
Gould the look be less Elysan il the radiant
heavenly vision
Wore no rinions floating wide, wore no beauty
giorified,
Only looked as mothers do when the mother
heart breaks through
Eyes that were the babys sky, though nc
ser:Iph waited nigh!

A Stream of Words.

Every body knows in general way
how much more talk than work is done
in the world, but few people realize the
fact until it is reduced to figures. A
speaker Of average rapidity will use
about one hundred words a minute, and
in conversation the rate is about the
same. Now suppose the average talkel
talks four hours a day he will repeat
"a, 600 words each day. equal 20 twelve
columns of the Globe or to forty-eight
pages of book of ordinary size. In {
year he will have uttered words thai
will fill 1880 pages, or thirty-five vol
umes of 500 pages each, and in thirty
years l.05O volumes will be filed will

WORTHLESS DOGS.
CANNES of All Varieties Are DegeneratinG
Into UseIessness.

CANNES of All Varieties Are DegeneratAnG
Into Uselessness.
When th@ cog was of real service to
man, for defense, sport or what not
and was valued as such, and When'
moreover, he depended for his main
tenance solely ON the consideration OF
his lord and master, it was natural that
he should attach himself to this one be-
ing with perfect singleneSs OF deVotion'
The large majority Of dogs are kept
nowadays not because OF any service
they render. but for the sake OF their
appearance Like the link-holders still
to be seen above the doorway OF certain
London houses, what was once a utility
is now preserved merely as an orna-
ment. Theoretically, no doubt, even III
town houses, people keep dog as a
means of defense, but in most cases
they really value him as decorative
appendage. This applies particularly to
the more handsome breeds-the st. Der
nard the colly, the mastitf and the rest.
Indeed. such are the strange diverSitles
of human taste that even SO unpromls-
ing specimen of canine beauty as the
bulldog will be sought after by the IN
itiated for the sake of his good looks.
And it is only fair to suppose that the
discerning creatures recognize their new
position in the scheSne of things. May
we not see, indeed, now and again III
their mournful and downcast expression
a conscious sense of degradation? Look
for example, at the nobly formed St
Bernard that gloomily follows the pro
cession of fashionably dressed misses ii
the park. Can not the dullest observer
perceive signs of an infinite boredom,
His pcnsive and melancholy eye suggests
! that he has had full experience OF the
tedium vitH and is peSsimist of tn
| darkest shade.
While the gr'ander sort of dog has thu
been morally degraded by being turne'
into Il useless laclley, the breeds tina
| have happened to suit the capriciOu
and Grant fancies Of animal peter
