Very early begin to instill into him
lessons of restraint, but only for the
briefest periods, for the creature is as
yet weak in brain and will power, though
strong in instincts and impulses.
The master or trainer must not be as
sociated in his mind with unpleasant
ness, but with the reverse. Do not,
therefore, punish him, but let him learn
almost unconsciously that certain actions
and certain pleasures are connected.
He should soon learn his name, should
always come when called, but not be
summoned too often, especially If play
ing. 1t is well to carry a bit of biscuit,
cheese, etc, to reward him for coming
at first, Later pat of appreciation will
suffice.
The trainer should never undertake
what he is not reasonably sure of accom-
plishng; and the first aim should always
be to secure the dogs attention and in
terest, and to make the accomplishment
pleasant. But he must know what is

That Ended the Lesson.

There is a charming young widow
in South Minneapolis who retains a
flve-year-old girl as the only pledge
of her dear departed, says writer in
the Tribune Of that town. The little
one has just begun to learn her alpha
bet. A gentleman called upon the
widow the other evening. OF course
the fond mother wanted to show off
her child. Taking up a newspaper
and poir ting to the big letters in an
advertisement the mother said:
"What letter is that?"
"a" responded the child.
what comes after A?"
"B."
"And what comes next?"
&C." lisped the little one.
The inquiry was pursued still fur
Their, but along toward the end of the
alphabet the little girl lost her bear
ings and never answered question.
Finally the gentleman thought he
would put a few questions He began
with this one:
what comes after To"
The child looked him straight in
the eyes as she answered.:
"A man to see mamma.
The lesson in English literature
was not prolonged.

Mountain-Top Observatories.

OF late the importance of getting
high up in the air in order to study
some phases of the weather has been
specially recognized, and the number
of mountain obServatories constructed
for that purpose is fast increasing.
There are four such ObServatOries
in France, one being on the celebrated
Pic du Midi. There is a meteoro-
logical observatory on Ben Nevis in
Scotland, from which full and regular
reports are issued, and a very i'm
portant one on the mountain called
the Sonnblick in Austria.
In this country we have such an
observatory on Pixies Peak, at an
elevation of more than fourteen
thousand feet, and another on Mount
Washington, sixty-three hundred feet
high. The latter has been closed
during the winter for several years,
but there is now a good prospect
that it will soon be in operation once
more the year rouud.
The loftiest of all obseryatories
will be one that is to be constructed
on Mont Blame.
The great importance of these lofty
weather stations arises from the fact
that in lowlands and valleys the
heavy, dust-laden air, while yielding
to the impulses communicated to it
from the freer currents above, is so
much subjected to the local influences
of the surface with which it is in con-
tact, that only with exceeding diff
f1culty can any conclusions be found
as to the general causes of weather
changes. On mountainous one
stands immersed in the free at
mosphere, and can study the aerial
motions and currents to better adj
vantage. One great difficulty to be
overcome is the severity Of the winter
season at great elevations. The OBJ
servers have to face winds of terrific
force, to contend with enormous falls
of snow, and to endure intense cold.
Electricity has partially solved the
problem by enabling such instruments
as the thermometer, which measures
the velocity of the wind, to telegraph
automatically their records to a
station at the foot Of the mountain.
Mr.. T. Proctor Hall has suggested
an ingenious method by which the
barometer on a mountain-top might
also be made to telegraph down the
changes in the pressure Of the air,
while thermometer, in like manner,
should transmit to the observer in
formation as to the temperature pre-
yailing thousands of feet above him.
But whether men have to live all
winter on the mountains, or succeed
in getting the required records by
automatic electric signals flashed from
the exposed instruments, it is evident
that such observations will in future
be obtained, in one way or another,
with increasing regularity, because
only with their aid can the science of
the weather be perfected-Youth's
Companion.

be treated accordingly. Let the dog be
gradually introduced to louder and loud
er noises, never being allowed to escape,
but being made to see that no harm is
meant him or can happen to him AS
to whether it is worth while to attempt
to cure the worst cases will depend
much on other circumstances, as the
dogs breeding, general intelligence,
nose, etc. 1t may or may not be in
herited.
Though we have spoken chiefly of the
training of hunting dogs it is simply be-
cause that is usually more elaborate!
All training is based essentially on the
same principles, for the mind of the
trainer and that of the dog are relative
constants, while the circumstances are
the variableS.
In every instance the dog. from the
earliest period. must know the trainer
as his master, as one who knows his own
mind and always is to be obeyed. But
in order to insure this, the principles we
have already endeavored to enforce
must be faithfully and intelligentiy APP
piled, and it is very important we re-
peat that nothing be undertaken that
cannot be performed. and every a ivance
in instruction approached by slight
graduation and re4uent repetition. All
sound training must constantly keep in
mind the individuality of the animal
The assumption that all dogs can be
treated just alike is as erroneous as that
all Stomachs may have the same diet
A dog kept constantly in kennel an
never attain his highest psychical devel-
opment, and it is the authors ex perience
that it does every dog good to bring him
into the house occasionally for short
periods and allow him to mingle with
the family, 1t raises the ANNA in his
own estimation and attaches him to his
master. for whom he will have increased
respect

must be confessed that days work on
actual game often quite transforms some
puppies But, as rule, ten or twelve
months will be quite soon enough to
introduce puppy to actual work.
Most puppies need a good deal of atten-
ton before they are perfectly steady on
point, and to wing and shot, as their
natural tendency is TO secure the game
when they have found it. How best to
overcome this is not always easy to de-
eide. The dog must tie encouraged tc
remain steady while his trainer moves
up. Often the assistance of second
person to flush the bird will be useful,
while the dog is approached and en-.
couraged, but not allowed to rush on
In this case check-cord may be useful
to he employed as little as possible.
The example of reliable old dog is in
valuable. Some form of check that will
make the dog defeat or punish himself is
preferable to direct administration of
punishment by the trainer.
Gun-shyness is but an exaggerated
form of fear of unusual noises, and must

Enormous Power ofWater.

The enormous power OF stream Of
water forced from hydraulic nozzle,
under from 200 to 800 feet or more Of
draulic mining in this State. is some
thing almost beyond belief. The
quantity of water passing through
these nozzles in single day of min
ing is immense. A stream of 400
feet vertical pressure delivers blow
of upward of 500, 200 pounds-equiv-
alent to about 1000 horse power.
Louis Glass, who for sixteen years
was superintendent of one of the large
mines in this State, says that he has
seen an eight-inch stream, under 311
feet Of vertical pressure, move in a
sluggish way a two-ton bowlder at a
distance of twenty feet from the noz-
Zle, and that the same stream, strik-
ing rock of 500 pounds, would throw
it as man would throw a twenty
pound weight. mo man that ever
lived" adds Mr.. Glass, could strike
bar through one of these streams
within twenty feet of discharge, and
human being struck by such
stream would be pounded into a
shapeless mass" Mr.. Augustus J.
Bowie, of this city, the author of a
standard book on hydraulic mining,
says it would be absolutely impossi-
BILE to cut such stream with an AK
or to make an impression on it with
any other instrument. Mr. Bowie
adds that, although never to his
knowledge has man been struck by
stream as it comes from the pipe,
several accidents have occurred where
miners were killed by very much
smaller streams at a distance of $50
to 200 feet from the nozzle. Professor
Christy says he has often tried to
drive a crowbar into such a stream,
and it felt as solid as a bar of iron,
and, although he could feel the
point of the crowbar enter the water
for perhaps half and inch, the bar was
thrown forward with such force that
it was almost impossible to retain it in
the grasp. An ak swung by the most
powerful man alive could not pene-
trate the stream; yet it might be cut
by the finger of a child, if the child
were seated on railway train moving
parallel with the stream in the same
direction and with the same velocity.
That velocity would be considerably
more than a mile a minute. The
statements presented in the above
summary will not astonish engineer
ing experts; the average citizen,
however, is accustomed to regard
water as the least destructive liquid
that can be put in motion, and he is
familiar with no stronger manifesta-
ton of it's power than the yelvety
touch of stream from the city
faucet. 1t might occur to military
man that such powerful agent
might be made a most terrible mill
tary agent for offense or defense, at
short range, if it could only be
brought to bear, as indeed it might
be, by powerful steam engine in a
beleaguered fort or on board a battle
ship with an enemy close alongside
Great Divide.

HOW TO TRAIN DOGS.
DIRECTIONS FOR THE EDUCA-
TON OF CANNES.
For Practical Purposes Puppies May Be
Treated Like Rapidly Developing In
fants -Obedience and Right Doing
Should BE Made Pleasant.
Restraint Must Be Gradual.

Two extreme views have for q long
period been entertained in regard to the
the training of the dog, says DR.. Yves ey
Mills in the Popular Science Monthly,
the one that he is a wild wayward crea-
ture to be "broken;" the other that he
neeks no special correction if properly
taught from the first. Neither is quite
correct.
puppy full of life tends to do exactly
as his impulses move him, TIL the high
est motive power, desire to please his
master, is substituted 1t follows that
puppy cannot be too soon led to under
stand that he has a master-kind, hon
est, intelligent and firm.

We have heard of a country grocer
who sells coffee, ready ground, in sir-tight

would be we'll, and If rural housekeepers
would buy coffee in that way they would,

enough jars for every purpose, and save
enough in coffee aroma to pay for them.
This is getting the jars for nothing.

serves its form. Granulsted sugar is as
cheap as any kind. A funnel with large

~
The facts of the case are that one of the
cellars in the Harrington building on East
Centre street was cleaned out yesterday,
The dirt taken out had been previously
saturated with coal oil, vinegar, molasses,
and other liquid supplies usually handled
by grocers and when thrown upon the
street in front of the place from which it
was taken a terrible stencil arose from the
heap. People who passed the place while
the work was going on said the smell was
such as arises when cess poor are being
cleaned, Men who stood at the corner OF
Main and Centre streets to await develop
ments of the assessment appeals were
obliged to move sway.
Shortly after this vile stuff was taken
from the cellar it was carted down Centre
street and dumped upon the crushed stone
recently put on that street just west of the
Lahigh railroad.
The dumping and shoveling gave the
stencil renewed strength and people who
had occasion to pass to and from the depot
we're disgusted with the smells.
The parties who dumped the stuff upon
the street say that the Street Committee
gave them authority TO do so.
Whoever authorized 1t should be dealt
with as individuals who dump filth upon
the streets should.
Let the Sanitary Committee act in this
case.
