HOW THEY ACTED.
Various Characteristics Shown by Peo-
pie About an Injured Dog.

pie About an Injured Dog.
Humane Officer Wright Yesterday aft.
ernoon brought to the police station an
unfortunate black dog who had been run
over on Spring street, near First, by an
electric car. The poor animal, fine
cocker spaniel, had a paper in his
mouth and was trying to cross the
street. He lodged one car and ran
right into the other one. The rear truck
of the car passed over the poor animals
right fore and hind legs. After the acci-
dent the wounded dog managed to reach
the sidewalk, and, frenzied with pain,
be crawled up the staircase leading to
an employment agency. A man at the
top OF the stairs saw the poor beast, and
instead Of helping him, cruelty kicked
the animal back down the flight.
A lady who had seen the accident and
had followed the wounded dog, wit
messed the exhibition of cruel abuse,
and burst into tears at the sight. She
tore off part of her dress to bandage the
mangled legs of the brute. Some one in
the crowd, which had gathered, sug-
gested that the coloring in the dress
material might be poisonous, and lit
tie boy named Rice tore up his handker-
chief, in order to supply the humane
lady with bandages. Officer Wright
happened along at this juncture and
carried the dog to the receiving hospital.
There Tootsy, the police dog, and Kid,
the stub-tailed reporters dog, showed
their sympathy for their wounded col
league by nosing about him and licking
his wounded limbs. Prof. w. E. Gould
<hn NJ
had him taken to the home of some
friends, where the animal will be
cared for

FOUND NOT GUILTY,
Henry Beckley Cleared of Charge of
Perjury Yesterday.

Perjury Yesterday.
Henry G. Beckley was up for trial in
the United States district court yester-
day on charge of perjury. This is one
OF the suits that grew out of the feud
existing for long time between the
Beckley and Met cCarthy families, who re-
side down near the Mexican border, and
Collector OF Customs John R. Berry of
San Diego. States Attorney Allen and
George Denis appeared for the prosecn-
ton, and Major Donnell for the defense.
At hearing before the United States
commissioner, Beckley claimed that he
had not seen certain alleged smuggled
horses prior to July 8, 1890, and it was
claimed that this statement was false.
Quite number of witnesses were ex-
amined, and yesterday afternoon Judge
Ross gave the jury instructions to find
verdict OF not guilty, which they did,
and so the Beckleys score one on the
McCarthys.

Mr.. J. P. Blaize, an extensive real es-
tate dealer in Des Moines, Iowa, mar
rowly escaped one of the severest at
tacks of pneumonia while in the north
ern part of the state during a recent
blizzard, says the Saturday Review. Mr..
Blaize had occasion to drive several
miles during the storm and was go thor
oughly chilled that he was unable to
get warm, and inside of a hour after
his return he was threatened with a
severe case of pneumonia or lung fever.
Mr.. Blaize sent to the nearest drug
store and got bottle of mberlain's
Cough Remedy, of which he had often
heard, and took a number of large doses,
He says the effect was wonderful and
that in a short time he was breathing
quite easily. He kept on taking the
medicine and the next day was able to
come to Des Moines. Mr.. Blaize regards
his cure as simply wonderful. 30 cent

NOT FAITH BUT DOODLE,
A Case Where Faith Did Not Fill
the Bill,

A Case Where Faith Did Not Fill
the Bill.
The ways of Christian science faith
healers are not as absurd as their doc
trines.
A woman OF this city recently went to
one of those physicians who prescribe
only faith and wanted to learn the
methods.
The healer explained that the basis of
the method was absolute faith. eff you
are sick and l tell you you are we'll, :"
said the healer, "if you have faith
enough you will be we'll at once"
Some other conversation was had,
and the visitor said she would take a
course of instruction. The healer ex-
planned that there was a charge of $25
for the lessons. "You have absolute
faith in what you preach?" queried the
pupil.
ooh, absolute" was the healer's re-
ply.
"Well, then," answered the scholar,
"you give me the instruction, and at
the end OF the lessons you Just say to
yourself, She has paid me the $685. and
if your system is correct you will have
the money out OF faith.'
The healer did not see it in that light,
however, and at once became very in
dignant and abusive.

Musical Signaling.

It is theory which seems to have been confirmed by practical experiment that pure tone of voice, such as that used in singing, penetrates to much greater distance than mere noise. This idea has given rise to Q new system of marine signaling, to be used either at night or in foggy weather, and based en- tirely upon the action of successive musical tones.
 A limited number of combinations of notes can be made to carry on all the conversation necessary between ap- preaching vessels to avoid collision, or between lighthouses and dangerous points of the coast, in order to prevent wrecks.
 Four notes, for example, serve to ask, (Which way are you headingr and two others mean, II am steering southeast.
 The system can be employed on large scale by means of machinery, consisting of keyboard, on which the operator would play, and speaking apparatus. It is expected that by such apparatus communication may be established at 8 distance of two miles. The invention can be adapted to the Morse code of sig nals when it becomes necessary to spell out names and words. Youths Com panion.

rreat,nent ot ne Ear,

The human ear is d much more deli cate organ than most people suppose. It is extremely dangerous 10 interfere with it by use of earpicks or any of tho vari- ous instruments used for the purpose of cleaning it from WAX. Tie w:.A is a natural secretion, anu unless the ear be- comes diseased it docs not accumulate any faster than is necessary 10 protect the passage from the entrance of insects and various particles which might other wise be forced in and tend to interfere permanently with the hearing.
 The greatest care is necessary in wash ing the ears of little children. They should be washed outside, but on the in- side only so far as the finger wrapped in soft towel will go. The practice of forcing a hair pin or any other hard in- strument into the car passage is fraught with danger of injuring the membrane, causing permanent deafness. Earaclle is nalady of childhood and causes most distressing pain. The simplest remedy for it is 10 take little cotton dipped i'll warm sweet oil and put it in the ear passage.
 A danger that may arise from doing so simple thing as this IS that minute particles of the cotton may be left in the ear. To prevent this, some physicians advise making a little wal of the cotton and wrapping it in the finest and thin nest linen cambric that can be founo, and dipping this in warm sweet oil. In case of intense pain a few drops of hot laudanum or camphor may be used with the oil.
 When foreign bodies get into the ear they should be removed by swinging them out with warm water. To attempt { to remove anything from the ear pas sage by forcing all instrument in is a rash thing for any one except an aurist to undertake. The best medical prac- titioners refuse 10 treat affections of the ear or eye, but send their patients to specialists. York Tribune.

There are some points which are val. uable in horses of every description. The head should be proportionately large and well set on; the lower jaw. bones should be sufficiently far apart tc enable the head to form an angle with the neck, which gives it free motion and 8 graceful carriage and prevents it bear ing too heavily on the hand. The eye should be large, little prominent, and the eyelid fine and thin. The ear should be small and erect and quick in motion.
