Victim of the Fire Habit.

A popular young physician living in
the neighborhood of Boston recently
took unto himself bride, and at the
same time bought horse from one OF
the townsfolk. He was very proud of
both investments.
Soon after the happy young couple
had returned from their first trip to-
gether, and while the honeymoon was
still young, Doctor Newhusband took
his wife to ride. He was showing her
something of her new home when sud-
denly the fire bells changed.
"Do you suppose the fire is anywhere
near our house?" exclaimed the bride.
"Oh, I'm so afraid" and she drew
closer, still closer to his manly breast.
Don't be afraid, dear" he answer
ed, "we've an excellent fire depart
ment."
At that moment the engine turned
into the street ahead of them and went
tearing down the road. Their horse
gave Jump and followed as fast as
possible. In vain were all efforts tC
check the beast Through the town
the procession flew, the engine in the
lead, but hard pressed by the buggy
with its terror-stricken little wife and
struggling husband. The townsfolA
stared in wonder, and the busybodie:
declared that the doctors new wife wa:
evidently flyer.
When the fire was reached the horse
stopped of his own account, and th'
couple returned to town.
The next day the man who sold the
horse, happening to meet the doctor,
carelessly remarked: "Oh, forgot to
tell you that that animal used to be-
long to the chief of the fire depart
ment. You will find him q good trot

STARVING RATS.
Grewsome Scene on Board Deserted
Vessel on the English Coast.

A correspondent of the Newcastle
(England) Chronicle, describing scenes
on the Northumberland coast, tells 9
curious story about rats: "What a
scene of devastation did st. Mary's
Island witness as the resultA> OF the
breaking up of the Gotheuburg City:
l was one of party that went on board
that ill-fated vessel few days before
she broke up, and saw sight to be re-
membered. l shall never forget it.
To all appearances, as we approached
her, the vessel might have been sail
ing comfortably out of harbor, save for
the absence of any apparent life on
board of her But we had no sooner
put foot on deck than we were immedl-
ately attacked in such a manner that
such of us as had got on board had to
make tracks for the rigging, while the
rest of us fell back into the boats.
Rats! / never saw so many In my
life and never hope to again. Great,
hungry, lanky, lean-looking rats, many
of them with their tails chewed of,
swarmed up from belowin never-ending
thousands, squeaking and squirming
over one another in a manner slcken-
ing and horrible to behold, particular
ly to those of us up in the rigging. At
last we cut off some loose ropes, knot
ted them into convenient lengths, and
so armed we descended and attacked
the rodents, eventually succeeding in
beating passage to our boat. Any
one would have supposed that they
knew by instinct the impending fate of
the vessel. for they ne sooner saw US
over the side than they began to
swarm down the ropes and try to en-
ter the boat, and it was only with DIFF
fculty we were able to beat them off
before casting the boat clear; and they
squeaked in horrible manner in their
anguish and mad frenzy as we rowed
away from the vessels side. They were
too far both from the island and the
mainland to swim ashore. They could
not feed on the timber and coal, SO
that was washed ashore to warm the
shins of the coast-folk. While every
other part of the vessel seemed to go
to splinters, the deck-house, strange to
say, came ashore on the island intact" I"

Navajo Hunting.

Living almost wholly upon game as
they do, the Navajos cannot be pre-
vailed upon to taste either fish or rab-
bit. / have known some very ludi-
crous things to happen when meanly
mischievous Americans deluded Nava-
jos into eating either of these forbid
den dishes; and sometimes there have
been very serious retaliations for the
iu-mannered joke. Rabbits are Won
derfully numerous in the Navajo coun-
try. being molested only by feathered
and four-footed enemies; but the In
dians who would fight to the death
sooner than touch a delicious rabbit
stew is greedily fond of the fat and
querulous prairie dog. That whole
region abounds in "dog-towns," and
they are frequently besieged by their
swarthy foes. A Navajo will stick a
bit of mirror in the entrance of bur-
row, and lie behind the little mound
all day, if need be, to secure the COW
eted prize. When Mr.. IuS0 ventures
from his bedroom, deep underground,
he sees familiar image mocking him
at the front door; and when he hur-
ries out to confront this impudent in
truder, whiz! goes chalcedony-tipPed
arrow through him, pinning him to
the ground so that he cannot tumble
back into his home, as he has a wonder
full faculty for doing even in death; or a
dark hand darts from behind like light
ming, seizes his chunkysneck safely be-
yond the reach of his chisel-shaped
teeth, and breaks his spine with one
| swift snap.-iSt Nicholas.

THE LEARNED CONDUCTOR.
His Gentle Reproof of the Proud Boston
Girl Who Snubbed Him.

A story is going the rounds here at
the expense of young woman and a
car conductor who is graduate of
Harvard. The tale may or may not
be true, but it has not been my expe-
rience in life that that little detail was
held to have anything to do with the
circulation of a story. The hero of
the incident was and indeed still is q
handsome fellow of the romantic type
over which girls sigh at a certain stage
of sentimentality; and during the
palmy days of his university career he
basked in the smiles of beauty to an
extent which must have made his
come-down peculiarly hard to bear.
Now that he is punching tickets he
occasionally encounters one of his
former acquaintances, but it is to be
nize him. Not long since, however,
he was indiscreet enough to appeal to
the remembrance of the girl who fig
ures in the tale. She was going out to
Brookline in a horse-car and when he
came to take the fares he seems to
have been moved by not unnatural
albeit not overwise desire to be recog-
nized. He looked at ker intently, but
won nothing save the blankest of
looks.
81 am afraid you do not remember
me, Miss Blank" he said.
The girl drew herself up with Of
Tended dignity, all the frigidity of
frozen Boston in her air
81 certainly do not" she said coldly.
~Unless," she added, as if in after
thought, "you are our old coachman
Henry"
The red rushed into the face of the
conductor, and it is to be supposed
that he wished himself anywhere
rather than there; but there was GER
tain brutal wit and not little spunk
in the fellow, and he held himself up
wonderfully.
IL am not your old coachman,
Henry" he said, loudly enough to be
heard by everybody in the car, all the
passengers being by this time thor
oughly interested in the conversation;
"but perhaps it is not strange that you
should confoGnd me with him. because
that night that you invited me to the
leap-year ball at the Hightops' you
may remember that he was drunk, and
that had to drive you home. Fare
| please"
There was certain incisiveness in
the manner in which that fare was
rung in, and it may be taken fol
granted that he is not likely to intro
duce himself to any more of his former
young lady acquaintance, although i
cannot be denied that in this encoun
ter he had decidedly the best of it,

How Niagara Was Forn..

once upon time there was n beauti-
ful Indian maiden who was compella.7
by her family to engage herself to marr;-
hldeous old man of her tribe In her
desperation she leaped into canoe and
pushed 1t over the roaring breakers of
Niagara, preferring the angry waters to
the arms of her detested lover. But the
god of thunder, cloud and rain, who
watches over the harvest, dwelt in a
cave behind the roaring cataract. He
caught her just as her frail bark was
dashlng upon the rocks below and gave
her home for many weeks in his own
mysterious cavern.
From him she learned MANY new
things, among them why her people
died so often. He told her how an
enormous snake lay coiled up under the
ground beneath her village, and how he
crept out and poisoned the springs, be-
cause he craved the flesh of human be-
ings and could never get enough of it so
long as they died from natural causes
The maiden remained in the cave until
her ugly old sutton was dead; then she
returned, and the god killed the serpent
with thunderbolt. ' 's
The great dead snake was so huge that
when the people laid its body out in
death it stretched over more than
twenty arrow flights, and as it foated
down the waters of the Niagara it was
as If a mountain appeared above them
Its corpse was too large to pass the
rocks, so it became wedged in between
them and the waters rose over it, thus
fashioning the horseshoe, which remains
to this Washington Star.

1t has been found that dogs could be
trained to hunt truffles, and SO great is
the demand in France for the trufle that
many of the canine species are now, in
certain districts, possessed of this esti-
mable talent. The training through
which they pass in order to acquire a
scent is a decidedly agreeable one. To
begin with, finely cut or sliced truffIes
are mixed daily with their food, until at
length they develop a liking for the
flavor. .....
Afterward their owners conceal in
some portion Of u field where truffles are
supposed to exist little tin dish of filet
aux trntfes, covering the same with Il
few handfuls of earth. The dog is then
brought out and urged to hunt for the
dish, goaded by an empty stomach.
When he at length finds it he is caressed
by his master, and thus in the space Of
a few weeks he will readily learn to
hunt for the vegetable itself Washing
