A living example of dogs fidelity is
presented by that noble Newfoundland
owned by the late Oscar G. McCulloch.
He is large dark brown fellow and is
well known to the congregation Of the
Plymouth church. He was generally
permitted to attend church services dur
ing the life Of his master, and in fact
was considered privileged character
about the institute. On rare occasions
he was even dignifed with place at
the Rev. McCulloch's feet in the pulpit.
At the meeting of the National Assacia-
ton Of Charities last year at Plymouth
church this dog appeared regularly every
morning and afternoon upon the ros-
trum with his master.
The dog still goes to church and walks
about the room as though he were look
ing for somebody-no doubt he is. FIRE.
quently he curls up under seat in the
auditorium at the beginning of services.
and if anybody attempts to take the seat
over him he offers prompt protest that
settles matters. This dog is very popu.
lar about the church and is as digni6ed
as any potentate under the sun, but
when it comes to a question of personal
rights the handsome canine is decidedly
patriotic. Indianapolis Journal.

A desperate fight between man and
shark occurred recently in Manukau
harbor. Mr.. Henry Jacobson, who is
employed at the North Manukau Heads
as beacon light keeper, was out in his
boat about six miles down the harbor
when it was struck by squall and
swamped and the occupant left in the
water. jacobson dived and endeavored
to relieve the ballast, but without sue
cess. He then grasped an oar, and being
a good swimmer struck out for land;
but as strong tide was running he was
swept down the harbor a distance of
three miles. At that point he was at
tackled by large shark, which grabbed
at his hand. He protected himself. how
ever, with the oar, which he tried to ram
down the sharks throat.
The fish then made circle around
him, and renewed the attack. By this
time, however, jacobson had his sheath
knife drawn, and desperately stabbed
the shark, ripping its side open, so that
the water became red with blood. A
further attack was made, when Jacob
son again stabbed the monster near the
tail, and it swan away. At that time a
boat came in sight, and jacobson, ex-
hausted, was hauled into the boat, hav-
ing been in The water two hours and
thirty minutes. Zealand Herald.

A Mule Incident.

A characteristic incident occurred
yesterday afternoon in connection with
Isaac Cochran's sale of horses at the
Eagle hotel. A pair of mules were
brought out, hitched to wagon antl
driven by Harry Cochran. "This is a
fine pair of mules" said Auctioneer Nc
Farlan. "Just drive them up the street
to let the people see how nicely they can
travel" After going a short distance
they were no longer of one mind, but
one wanted to go one way and one the
other. In their efforts to part company
they nearly ran into Il colored man, who,
trying to get away, fell into the water
trough. Then they displayed their speed
by running off out East Gay street,
throwing their driver, Harry Cochran,
out and badly breaking the wagon.
They were caught out near the nurseries.
The mules were not sold that day

Carried a Earn on His Back.

Matthew La Page, of Woodhaven,
had small barn he wished to move to
another site. He told Cyrus E. Smith,
superintendent of the Woodhaven pub
lie schools, of his plans, and explained
that it would cost him considerable to
put the building on a new foundation.
Smith laughingly offered to move the
barn for nothing. La Page ridiculed the
idea. when Smith asked to be shown the
spot to which the building was to be
carried. Upon learning this he visited
the barn, which is shell. weighing
about 500 pounds He rugged number
of ropes so that he could take the weight
across his shoulders. Harnessed in this
fashion, the man of muscle lifted the
barn with ease, carried it twenty five
feet and set it easily on the new founda-
tion.-New York World.

A French chemist. who has been Civ
ing considerable attention to the problem
Of heating and lighting from a single
source, has devised novel stove, which
in appearance resembles an ordinary
heating stove. 1t is so arranged inter
nally that the waste Of heat is utilized
for the generation of electricity. This
is secured by number of rectangular
boxes of sheet iron, containing the nee
essary metallic elements for furnishing
the current. These elements are in
sulated by asbestus, and the cooling is
effected partly by the shape in which
the metallic alloys are cast and partly
by circulation of air.
The current obtained is not great in
amount, but the result of this attempt
seems to be favorable. Accumulators
are used for storing up the electricity.
and as the beating is required for much
longer period than for lighting, the cleo
trical energy, which would be lost dur
ing the hours of daylight, is saved. A
point of considerable moment is that the
heat utilized in this way is waste heat,
so that any portion that can be recov-
cred in the form of electricity is so much
gain.-Philadelphia Record.

The Brain Jar of the Military Step.
DR.. Colin, regimental physician in the
French army, has published the results
Of his Investigations into the effects of
regular marching in disciplined bodies
upon soldiers. The regularity of the
step causes the indefinite repetition of a
shock of the bones and brain, infinitely
more deleterious than an irregular walk.
and to this regular repetition of the
shock to the same parts of the body are
due the peculiar aches, pains and illness
es of the troops.
In a one day march, no says, this
shock is repeated 10000 times, and often
the strongest men, who can walk the
same distance without difficulty when
not in line, succumb to the strain in two
OF three days. DR.. Collins preventive is
rubber heel in all military boots. This
heel has been tried at his instance in the
French infantry, he says, and the result
has been found to be great relief to
the soldiers. The experiments with the
rubber heel are still in progress.-Medi-

Some Alleged Big Salaries.

The story is being told in New York
that the proprietor of certain well
known morning newspaper has made an
offer to a successful publisher of Chi
cago to come to New York for five years
at an annual salary of 800, 900. Whether
this report be true or not, it has occa-
stoned good deal of gossip.
Perhaps in nothing more than in the
question of salaries is there SO much
said that is untrue. have no doubt
there are a small number of gentlemen
who are paid from SCI, 900 to 800, 900
year for their services, but whether they
are worth it or not is another question.
The tendency is always to exaggerate
ON the salary question anyhow, and it
is more than likely that not half the
sum mentioned is actually paid to any
man.
1t is the same way with the authors
of books A little while ago it was said
that Ward McAllister had received $685.
900 for his published volume ON sSSoci-
ETY. as Have Found It." Mr.. McAllis-
ter now comes forward and spoils this
pretty fiction by stating positively that
he received only about $3,700, and that
is why he hesitates about accepting an
offer made to him by Chicago firm Of
publishers. He says there is no money
in books.
The men who are paid 100000 year
in New York for any services whatever
are so few as to be lonesome. Those
who receive $4,000 could probably be
numbered inside Of hundred. Those
who receive 5000 year are of course
more numerous, but there are not enough
of them to cause any very general dis
turbance in financial centers. And L am
quite inclined to the belief that any man
who receives from $4,000 to $4,000 a
year as salary is, like the famous Reilly
who kept the hotel, doing exceedingly
well.-Foster Coates in New York Mail
and Express.

A New Musical instrument.

The pedal clarionet," as it is not very
happily called, stands an octave below
the bass clarionet, and in one of its two
varieties produces the lowest note yet
attained by any instrument, with the
one exception of the organ. Its tone is
wonderfully distinct, even in its deepest
notes, and it is far more agreeable than
that of tho double bassoon, with which
it is most closely allied in compass. It
has range Of three octaves. Its quail
ties were deliberately exhibited by Mr..
Bretonneau. of the Paris opera.-Bos-

Peel Elected Speaker of the House OF
Commons--Adjourme
LONDON, Aug. 5.-The new Parliament
met yesterday. Although the hour
for formal opening was 2 o'clock p. M,
groups of spectators assembled about the
Palace of Westminster as early as
o'clock in the morning.
A crowd at Carlton Terrace watched
Mr.. Gladstone start for the House of
Commons and greeted his appearance with
roars of applause. Mr.. Gladstone looked
much better than was expected and bore
himself steadily and firmly.
When Mr. Balfour, the government
leader, made his appearance, he received
an ovation. John Burns, the labor leader,
had mingled reception of cheers and
groans.
At the appointed hour the House of
Commons, in accord with the due and
ancient form, was summoned to the
House of Lords to listen to the royal com
mission summoning Parliament to meet.
The rush to the upper House was not
so dense or disorderly as some times in the
past, ana the Commons seemed very glad
when the antique ceremony was over.
After the return to the House of Com
sentative, of Blackpool, moved the election
of the Right Hon. Arthur Wellesley Peel
as Speaker. Mr.. Gladstone seconded the
motion in cordial tone, speaking of Mr.
Peel as his lifelong friend. The motion
was carried without opposition, and the
House of Commons then adjourned.

Reported That the Charges Against Him
Are Greatly Exaggerated.
WASHINGTON, Aug. Sit is learned at

grams from Europe in connection with the
arrest of Consul Ryder at Copenhagen are
incorrect.
The American Minister, Mr.. Carr, has
never reported to the Department that
Mr.. Ryder was guilty Of the charge, nor
has he ever recommended his recall.

press, and some Of them are known to be
unfounded. He has been for many years
in the consular service of the United
States; was gallant soldier, and is now
suffering from a wound received in the

While the Department did not feel war
ranted in withdrawing him from his post
under the circumstances, or evading the
results of legal investigation, his past
record called for suspension Of public
judgment till the pending trial was con-

VEGETABLE COMPASS.
A Plant Which Ii OF Great Value to the
Traveller on tho Plains.

A Plant Which IL of Great Value to the
Traveller on the Plains.
The compass plant grows in the
prairies of western North America, and,
as its name indicates, is Of great value
to the wanderer. It is dwarf variety
OF the osier, is perennial, attains usual
ly height of three feet six inches and
has head of yellow flowers.
The help it renders the traveller arises
from the fact that the long leaves at
the base of the stem, which are placed,
not fiat, as in plants generally, but in a
vertical position, present their edges
north and south.
OF this plant is attributed to the fact
that both surfaces of it's leaves display
an equal receptivity for light.
All the other known varieties Of It's
class are characterized by the presence,
on the lower surface of their leaves, OF
from twice to thrice as many respira-
tory vessels as are contained on the
upper surface, which is therefore the
most sensitive of the two to the int1u-
ence of light.
But both surfaces of the compass
plant are clothed alike, with an cpl,
dermis exceptionally receptive Of light
and the same instinct of its leaves that
prompts them to require an equal dis
tribution Of light upon either surface
causes them to assume a vertical posi-
ton, and to point their edges due north
and south.
Travellers, on dark nights, are said tc
feel the edges of the leaves to ascertain
the points of the compass, when nc
means are available for helping them
on their way.
