A Dogs Memory.

The following, remarkable at all events
as feat of memory, was told by the
owner of an Irish water spaniel. His
master was out walking with him at the
beginning of the long frost in 1885,
which set in about the middle of Janu-
airy. He went on frozen milldam,
where of course the water was very
deep, and accidentally dropped his
snuffbox through little round hole in
the ice. The dog was dreadfully dis
tressed at not being able to get it, but
was obliged to go home with its owner,
who thought no more about the matter.
Two months afterward, when the frost
had gone, he and the dog passed by the
same place. The dog paused opposite
the spot where the box had disappeared,
seemed to think intently for a minute,
then plunged. in, dived to the bottom
and returned with the snufrbox in his
mouth.-London Tit-Bits.

Experiment Stations.

The first agricultural experiment sta
ton in this country was established by
Connecticut in 1875. The example was
soon followed elsewhere. The appropri-
alton by congress of $4,000 per annum
to each of the states and territories
which have established agricultural col
leges or agricultural departments of col
leges has led to the establishment of new
stations or the increased development of
stations previously established under
state authority, until there are now agri-
cultural experiment stations in opera
ton in all the states and territories ex-
cept Montana and Idaho. During the
year new stations have been established
in Wyoming, Oklahoma and Washing
ton. Of the fifty-fve stations in the
United States, fifty receive their support
wholly or in part from the United States
treasury. The results and processes of
their experiments are given to the pub
lie not only in the station bulletins and
reports, but also in thousands of news
papers and other periodicals.

all in vain, for the judge abided by his

TO JEsslE's DANCING FEET.
How. as q SPIDERS web is spun

How. as spiders web is spun
With subtle grace and art,
Do thy light footsteps, every one,
Cross and recross my hearth
Now here, now there, and to and fro
Their winding maxes turn;
Thy fairy feet so lightly go
They seem the earth to spurn;
Yet every step leaves there behind
A something when you dance,
That serves to tanglo up my mind
And all my soul entrance.
How, as the web the spiders spin
And wanton breezes blow,
Thy soft and filmy laces in
A swirl around thee fowl
The cobwcb meath thy chin that's croesco
Remains dcmurcly put,
While those are ever whirled and tossed
That show thy saucy foot;
That show tho silver grayness of
Thy stockings silkcn sheen,
And mesh of snowy skirts above
The silver that is seen.
How, as the spider from his web
bangles in light suspense.
Do thy sweet measures flow and ebk
Sway my enraptured sensel
Thy Autt'ring lace, thy dainty airs,
Thy every charming pose
There arc not moro alluring snares
To bind me with than those.
Swing on! Sway on. With easy grac
Thy witching steps repeat!
The love dare MOTTO thy face
] offer at thy feet.

Few Gold Coin counterfeits.

Nearly all the counterfeit coins afioat
are silver pieces. As the whole process
of making gold coins is more expensive
than making silver ones, SO it is more
expensive to counterfeit gold than silver
coins. There are always a good many
counterfeit silver dollars floating about,
although during the last few years there
has been no perceptible increase of them.
There are comparatively few spurious
gold pieces out. Interview in New York
