A Dogs Education.

Given an equal amount of intelligence
at the start. dog which has been well
trained is worth twice as much as one
untaught. 1t is as true of dogs as of
men. Education counts.
Do not undertake to teach a puppy
unless you have a large stock of patience.
Unless you can control your temper and
be persistent in teaching your best
course is to buy dog already trained.
But if you want real dog love and con-
fdence take the animal in his puppy
hood, as soon as he is able to feed him
self, and your efforts will be crowned
with a greater success than ever comes
otherwise. No dog ever loves any one

him the wisdom and power of the world.

make him understand what this means
by allowing him to see his food in your
hand. Teach him nothing else until he
knows perfectly what that means and
obeys it.
When he comes to you pat him and

fond Of praise and equally fond OF theii
own ways If you tell your dog to come
to you make him do it. If he never dis

A half-open switch had done the busi- ness. We bobbed and bumped along for few yards, and then the car tilted over and went down an embankment.
 We were all pulled out of the wreck after a bit, and found had broken leg and some lesser evils I was laid on the grass beside the lawyer, who was for time unconscious, but presently he came to and briskly observed: "Open swltch-train derailed-culpable carelessness-won't settle for a cent under five thousand dollarsI''
 He seemed to feel of himself for two or three minutes to find out how badly he was hurt, and then continued:
 "Worse than I thought for! ltappears that both legs and this left arm are broken, and think can also plead in- ternal injuries. I'm good for six months in the hospital, even if pull through. Damages not one cent less than ten thousand dollars, and don't be in hurry to settle at that figurer'
 There were people rushing about, still engaged in the work of rescue, and three or four of us were grooming and taking on close by. but the lawyer was in no wise rattled. lie was evidently sinking, however, for his voice was much weaker as he said:
 Papers, cards and envelopes on the body to identify it by, and they'll tele- graph my wife and ship mangled re- mains home by express. Hurt worse than thought for. Quite sure I'm go- ing to die. Will drawn and everything in order, and left note on my office desk for my wife to sue for twenty thousand dollars in case of my death. Clear case, and jury won't be out five minutes"
 If he said any more didn't catch it. I was just then busy figuring up my own damages and grooming away in four languages. By and by the people came with doors and shutters to carry us up to the depot. As two of them were ready. to pick me up, said:
 ''l think the lawyer here is hurt a good deal worse than I am, and you may give him the preference."

One hundred years ago Mir. Marr, of Cape Elizabeth, Me, set out willow slip, which grew to be a good-sized tree. MT, Marr was an obliging sort of per son, and he kept his grindstone-one of the few in that vicinity-under the will low by the roadside for the convenience of his neighbors. Some of the neigh. bors were ungrateful yokels, for often, when they had done grinding their axes. they would try their blades upon the shelterng tree, so that it's beauty was spoiled and it's life endangered. Then Farmer Marr drove lot of spikes into the trunk, covering the heads art fully with bark, and when the neigh boring vandals had spoiled a few axes they quit trying edges on the willow Marr and his neighhors are all dead and forgotten these fifty years, but the will low still fiourishes, and the ax marks are obliterated, while the protecting spikes are grown deep in the heart of the great trunk.-N.

 Five men who were working near were severely injured, some of them it is thought, fatally, the engineer and fire- men of the locomotive being among the latter.
 The locomotive was completely wrecked.
 The accident occurred while the train was moving out of the station towards Blissville. It was what was known as the working train and eousis ted of a lo- comotive and number of flat cars. There were six men seated on the car di- ractly behind the locomotive. They re- ceived no warning of the explosion, and were blown in all directions.

His sole talent was his mouth, but so long as he was in the senate and used his slngle talent from time to time in denouncing the demo- cratic party the republicans talked about him as if he was a patriot, a sage, a philosopher, a great thinker and a leader of men. He dropped out of the senate after being there eighteen years, and, like a stick withdrawn from a pond, left no hole behind him. Many republican newspapers have expressed the most contemptuous opinion of him since he was beaten for reelection,
