Fido Was an Expensive Passenger.

Fido Was an Expensive Passenger.
A lady boarded a street car the other
evening with pet dog which was slightly
overgrown. His paws were covered with
mud, and he seemed to be on springs.
''Madam," said the conductor, "you will
have to leave that dog on the platform; it
is against the rules of the company to al
low dogs in the cars"
'I don't care if it is. He shall not ride
on the platform. He is not feeling just
right this evening, and it would be inhu-
man to put him out in the cold," returned
the lady.
GA number of gentlemen are out there''
"Gentlemen! Why, 1 smelled tobacco
smoke when 1 passed them. You don't
suppose would put my Fido on level
with them, do youa"
eff the dog stays in here will suffer-"
"You need have no fears on that score
If Fido does anything wrong you may
hold me responsible for it,"
The conductor here started to collect his
fares, and Fido at the same time concluded
to give an exhibition of his freshness. The
first thing he did was to jump upon the
lap of an elderly lady who wore new
black silk dress.
sect away! get away. you brute" she
exclaimed, as the dog began to poke his
nose into her face.
"Come, Fido, don't disturb the lady,"
said his mistress, and the dog jumped down
and came back to her But he apparently
liked new black silk, for moment later
he was again up in the lap of its wearer.
She pushed him to the floor, and glancing
down saw dozen marks upon the front
breadth Of the dress left by the dogs paws.
Indignantly she arose, gave Fido her seat,
and called the attention of his mistress to
the fact that her dress was ruined.
"Wcll, collect your damages from the
company" was the tantalizing reply,
The matter was laid before the officers of
the company, and they, without hesitation,
assumed responsibility for the damage
done.-Roston Herald.

plural Names of Edible Fish.

A few days ago l was asked by a foreign
er, "Why do you say two herrings' and
two soles' and not two Gods and two sal
mons?'" do not think my answer was
very satisfactory, but the question suggest
ed the thought that there are several cases
in which it would be difficult to say wheth
er there is anything like consensus of
opinion as to whether plural form of the
name of a fish is admissible We all speak
of soles, behring's, sprats, lampreys and an
chovies; the singular form never, believe,
doing service for the plural. No one, l
think, says mackerels, Gods, salmons.

plural,-Notes and Queries.

Poetic Solicitations,

In our salutations we are poetical and
pious without realizing it. "Goodby,' ,
which falls SO fippantly from our lips, is
really "God be with you," and GOOD day
means 81 wish you good day-a happy,
prosperous day." The Ph@necians on
meeting used to ask, "What occupies
your" Another of their everyday phrases
meant to express joy and pleasure was,
"Flesh, rejoice"
Every day on our streets we hear the pet
phrase of the Germans, "Wie gehts?" chow
goes it?) or "Auf wiedersehen" Till we
meet again). And the italian fruit dealer
at the corner calls to his comrade in his
native tongue, "God give you good NOR
row."
The ancient Irish mother upon entering
a house says, in her own language, "The
blessings of God be on this house"
peace be with you," is the Hebrew
benediction, and the answer is equally
beautiful, with you be peace. Mrs. M
L. Rayne in Detroit Free Press.

The Great Earthquake of Port Royal,

The Great Earthquake of Port Royal,
The 18th of June, 1892 the day of the great
earthquake, was exceedingly hot; not
cloud was in the sky and not breath of
air stirred At about 1.40 a. m. slight
trembling of the earth was felt, and this
was shortly followed by a second shock
somewhat stronger than the first and ac-
companied by hollow rumbling noise like
distant thunder At this most of the
people began to run out of their houses,
but a third shock at once supervened, and
in about minute-for it is said to have
lasted nearly a minute-four ffths of the
town was in ruins and the sea rolling over
it.
The streets on the north side, on the
brink of the harbor, where sand had been
most steeply banked up, were the first to
fall, sinking at once into four or five IA
thoms of water; next fell the church and
tower, and then Morgan's lines, on the
south side, on the verge eft the sea, to
which many had fed for safety, suddenly
disappeared, the sea rolling completely
over the place where 1t had stood.
Then the whole of that portion of the
town where the ship channel had been sank
at once into deep water, while the houses
nearer the central rock sank, some up to
the caves others up to the first floor and
others again one Or two feet only, accord
ing to the distance at which they were sit
uated from the waters edge. About 1,600
persons are said to have persisted. Colonel
A. B. Ellis in Popular Science Monthly.

Queer Icelandic Beliefs.

The orthodox Icelander believes that the
earth has an opening through it from pole
Ito pole-in other words, that it is the ex
act counterpart of a gigantic bead. Ac
cording to their idea all waters which flow
to the north are drawn thitherward by a
suction created by the oceans tumbling
downward through the hollow, which they
firmly believe exists. Their authority for
the curious belief is the "Utama Saga" a
semisacred work written early in the
Fourteenth century.
If the ancient volume is to be relied
upon, one Bjorn Liefson, fisherman who
was driven northward by fierce gale
about the year 1891, is the only human be
ing who has ever seen the spot where the
waters of all oceans plunge downward
and are not seen again until they have
passed entirely through the earth and
again appear bubbling and frothing like q
mammoth spring at the south pole.-Chi

WHY SDats Are Worn.

Spats are used by men who varnish their
boots and who do not care to have then
light trousers blackened with the varnish.
In England they are worn when the
weather is wet and occasionally for the
sake of warmth when men 60 upon long
drives. They are also often worn with a
frock coat but never unless the wearer is
going with a coaching party or expects to
attend the races. The man who walked
into drawing room with a pair of big
drab or red spats on, such as are commonly
worn in New York, would be laughed at
in London. There is no reason at all why
women should wear spats, because they do
not protect their skirts in any way from
contact with their shoes, and they are a
particularly ugly and unattractive affecta
tion.-Brooklyn Eagle.
