Canine Sagacity.

Mr.. o. D. Everson Of this place has a
handsome dog that delights in the name
of Bushwhacker, and from all accounts
this same Bushwhacker possesses won
derful amount of sagacity.
Mr.. Everson's mother resides in Bry-
antville, about eight miles from this
place, and a few weeks ago she was sur
prised to see Bushwhacker at the door
whining to come in. Upon opening the
door the dog began to bark and appeared
to have something on his mind
He was told to lie down, but although
he had travelled so far, the dog evidently
preferred to stand up, and not until a
note was found under his collar did
Bushwhacker manifest any desire to
rest.
The place where the lady resides is
quite a distance from the postoffice, so
that the dog acts as letter carrier, max
ing the trip of eight miles every day in
the week.
Bushwhacker is great dog for rab-
bits, but whole army of the stubtailed
rodents might cross his path when he is
on the road with the mail and his atten-
ton would not be detracted from his
work.
He is faithful carrier, and if the re-
turn letter is not ready when he thinks
it should be he will start without it,
covering the distance from Bryantvilie
to this town at better rate of speed
than the majority of horses.-Brockton

Jimmy Murphy was a newspaper Of
fee boy, and Jimmy was a terror. He
did nothing in particular save smoke
cigarettes and beg for theater tickets,
and was known 10 all the reporters as
"Murph." One night he wanted to go
to certain show very badly, but had
not been successful in begging or steal
ing ticket from the dramatic editor.
He went up TO the theater about s
o'clock and stood around the gallery en-
trance in the hope that lie could in some
way gain admittance. The manager of
the theater came along in little while,
and noticing him standing there, said,
Hello, Murph!" and went into the
house.
Five minutes later "Murph" walked
up to the doorkeeper at the main en-
trance and said, Say, is de manager
in?"

The Gulf stream.

The question IS often asked, To what
climate of the United States? To its
supposed erratic movements is laid the
blame of every abnormal season. There
is every evidence that the Gulf Stream
is governed absolutely by law in all its
changes. The course through the ocean
is without doubt fixed. Its fluctuations
are by days, by months, by seasons or
by years, and they do not vary materi-
ally one from the other. Its temperature
changes, depending upon the relative
heat of the tropical and polar seasons,
and upon the strength of the producing
trade winds. The warm water may be
driven toward the shore by the waves
caused by a favorable wind, but the cur
rent remains in its proper place. The
warm water gives off a certain amount
of heat to the air above it, and if this air
is moved to the land we feel the heat.
The presence of the warm water on
the coast of Europe would in no way
modify the climate if the prevailing
winds were easterly instead of westerly.
If the prevailing winds in New England
in winter were southeast instead of
northwest, the climate would be equal to
that of the Azore islands, mild and
balmy. For the cause of abnormal sea-
sons we may look to meteorology. The
current is in its place ready to give off
the heat and moisture to the air when
ever the demand is made upon it, but
by the erratic movements of the air this
heat and moisture may be delivered at
unexpected times and seasons, and thus
give rise to the erroneous belief that the
Gulf Stream itself has gone astray.-
John E. Pillsbury in Century.

A Revolutionary Landmark.

An old Revolutionary landmark that
is fast crumbling away, and which for
many years has attracted much atten-
ton, is the Unruh House, standing south
Of Gorgas lane, and near the Wingo-
hooking creek, Germantown. 1t was
used as a hospital for wounded soldiers
after the battle of Germantown. The
red brick tiles of the roof, which were
imported from Holland, have all disap-
peared, and the walls are only partially
standing. The more modern structure.
which was built adjoining about the
commencement of this century, is still
standing in a good state of preservation.
and is at present occupied.-Philadel-

Millinerr EHects at the Table.

The millinery effects" may be regarded
as invading the teble when we read of an
arrangement of black and pink tulle
caught up with pink roses as part of the
table decorations at recent fashionable

assume that the effect in this case was
desirable. Noyicas will do we'll to avoid

The Ancient Manufacture of Copper

The ancient Syrians and Ph9nicians
are well known to have been active
traders in copper, and they manufac-
tured this metal into bronze by melting
it with tin. Learned antiquaries assure
us that the Phenicians actually came to
England and to Ireland in search Of tin
for this purpose, and few years ago
some curious bronze articles were found
IN several of the old mine workings in
Cornwall, which are believed to have
been left there by that ancient people at
a time when no bronze was either made
or used in England.-Chambers' Jour

A Country without Clocks.

We know that there must have been a
time when timepieces were unknown, and
that, even 10 this day, there are people in
this country-Indians, for instance-to
whom the sun is the only standard OF time;
but it is har1 to realize that such people
could be anything but barbarians- Net
Golden Days tells us there are civilized
countries where a timepiece can be dis
pensed with conveniently. Ia Liberia,
which is anything but barbarous in man
ners and customs, clock is rarely seen
in the farmhouses, and many Of the town
residents have no timepieces of any sort.
The reason is that the republic lies only
dogs north OF the equator; therefore. the
sun rises about 9 a. N. and sets about
p. N. all the year round, and at noon it il
vertically overhead. Therefore, it is very
easy 70 tell the hour Of the day with rea-
sonable certainty, and many people become
so expert in telling time by the sun that
they are rarely more than a quarter OF an
hour out of the way.
