TEACHING THE GUITAR.

Putting little fingers
Where they ought to go:
For you cannot tell her, and
II does no good To show.
Little hands so soft and white,
Must not go too far.
Bless me. this is pleasant
Teaching the guitar.
Halt an hour of teaching
Still she can not see;
So, To show her better, you must
Take her on your Knee.
Pretty lips are tempting, but
Must not so too far.
Bless me, this IL pleasant
Teaching the guitar.
Still the hands are awkward.
Still she can not see,
And with pretty little pout
Turns her face to me.
Could help but steal kissY
Did 90 too far!
Bless me, this is pleasant
Teaching guitar.
Now the lessons over,
Little fingers tired;
Curly head up close TO mine,
Old guitar is fired.
Understanding perfect,
Eve not gone too far;
Bless me, it is pleasant,
Teaching the guitar.

NEW USE FOR A DOG.
A Big Newfoundland Trained by Its
 Owner to Steal Smaller Canines.

A Big Newfoundland Trained by Its
 Owner to Steal Smaller Canines.
 Gabe Weston, a faro dealer rooming on Kearney street, near Washington, San Francisco, is the possessor of two silky Scotch terriers. He has had the little animals for several years, and in that time the pride of possession deep ened into genuine affection. The littlo dogs, Mac and Minnie, were brought to this country when puppies by one of Weston's friends. Every morning. Wqs- ton takes his dogs on short ramble through the streets, and the other morning entered Union square. While the owner was pacing up and down t5e gravel walk enjoying a cigar the dogs ran around in the grass. Weston no- ticed a suspicious-looling stranger pat NMac" on the head and then walk away, looking back at intervals with a beguiling smile, as though to coax the dog to follow him. ''Mac," however, did not budge. About fifteen minutes after the stranger went away big Newfoundland dog came bounding into the park and commenced sniffing dDOu6 Ollc bSTTlcIS. DuQOcHly I1iC D1t5 dog seized "Mac" in his mouth and darted away. Weston gave chase and being somewhat of a sprinter he pressed so hard on the Newfoundland that the animal dropped the terrier within half block of the park and got away. After assuring himself that ''Mac" was uninjured and that ''Min- nie" was not stolen in the excitement of the pursuit of the thief, Weston went home. Later he said to an Ex- aminer man: "I think it was a new plan for stealing dogs. That man en- tered the park, sighted out the dog he wanted, patted it on the head and body so as to give it his mark, as it is called, and then sent his big brute after. The Newfoundland was guided by scent, as he would have been if hat or handkerchief or anything of that kind had been sent for"

WILD CATTLE AND DOGS.
Domestic Animals That Have Gone Wild
 on the Sandwich Islands.

Domestic Animals That Have Gone Wild
 on the Sandwich Islands.
 Humphrey B. Kendrick, the Cali fornia collector of archaeological and other curiosities, who has for many months past been at Kona, in the dis tant island of Hawaii, in the Sandwich group, and is now in'this city, says that one thing in the Sandwich islands att tracted his attention and made a lasting impression upon him. That was the great number of animals gone wild, says the San Francisco Examiner. These were taken there soon after Navigator Cooks discovery. Some wandered away, and now there are inn mense bands They comprise wild cattle, wild dogs, and wild hogs. He is not certain but the latter have always been there, but if so, these and a curi- ous little wild goose are the only indi- genous creatures.
 ''The wild dogs hunt ill packs" he said, ''and are exceedingly ferocious. When domestic dogs go wild, they be- come in time great deal like wolves. These inhabit the higher mountains, and are so vicious that they will some times attack men if they are on foot. If they are on horsback they don't usual ly do it. The dogs are of various colors, and they are pretty good sized.
 Large numbers of wild cattle are also found in the Pine mountains, that is up as high in the mountains as the pines grow. They graze up as high as the snow line. I have some friends near Kona engaged in the stock busi- ness, and they shoot down good many of the wild cattle and use the meat for their men. There are vast bands of them. They are very fleet, but they are in good condition most of the time.
 "The hogs that so long ago went wild have grown small and run to snout and tusks. They are very sav- age. In many respects they resemble the peccaries. Away over south one of the small islands are large bands of wild horses"

DOCUMENTARY FLOWERS.
Interesting Facss Concerning the Cyca-
 daceous Plants.

daceous Plants.
 These plants possess a special inter est, inasmuch as they present us with what is one of the earliest and most rudimentary kind of flower. Like all the lower kinds of Towering plants they bear two sorts, the so-called male and female flowers. Now when one of these flowers are examined, says Long, mans Magazine, one might well feel surprised, if unprepared for what pre- sents itself. Both kinds are, as might be expected, of the simplest form, the male flower consisting merely of sta mems bearing pollen sacs-
 When one of these sta1nens is in- spected 1t is SC en to be but an ordinary leaf modified; nay, more, the pollen sacs (born on the back surface like the ''fern seed'' on the fern leaf are obvi- ously but the little spore cases of the cryptogams; yet, further, we open one of them, and the pollen grains themselves proves to be but the little spores of the lower plants. The whole flower is, in fact, nothing but the modified spore-bearing leaf of the higher crypto- grams. The female flowers on close examination prove similarly to be but bearing leaves also modified, though Tn different direction. What, then, has happened? Very little, in point of fact, though much in point of significance. The spore which pro- duced the little plant requiring fer tilization (which latter we observed growing smaller and smaller) simply now no longer falls off, but remains att tached to the parent leaf and awaits the pollen that is carried to it by the wind; all that previously took place in the marsh below now takes place in situ in the production of the seed. That is the whole plan in brief
 The great end which nature accom- plished when she evolved the first flowers was simply to enable cross-fer- tilization to take place without the aid of water. This was the feat which revolutionized the vegetable world. The Towering plants were at last and henceforth independent of aquatic con- ditions; they took full possession of the land, and the other forms, dependent on water for fertilization, began slowly but surely to give way before them.

QUICKER THAN ELEcrRocurIoN
How Nineteen Chinese Pirates Were Re-

How Nineteen Chinese Pirates Were Re-
 gently Beheaded in Six Minutes.
 Not long ago on the Chinese coast, says correspondent of the London Daily Graphic, foreign vessel, the Namoa, was boarded by band of pi- rates. Having got on board in the darkness they murdered the captain and threw him overheard, then secured the other officers and passengers, com pletely footed the ship and managed to get safely away with their booty. The matter becoming known the Chinese authorities at once took steps to dis cover and arrest the marauders, and in due course the whole band of nineteen were captured and summarily con- demned to be beheaded. The ghastly scene of the carrying out of the sen- tence took place at Kowloon, near Hong Kong. The doomed men were drawn up in a line on their knees, with their hands tied behind them, and at a distance of about five yards from each other. So they await ed the executioner's sword. It was suggestive of the executioner's skill, born, no doubt, of constant practice, that the whole nineteen were behead- ed within six minutes. A bold-looking villain was the chief of the gang. He died, as nearly all the Chinese do under such circumstances, apparently with out the least fear. In fact, just before his head rolled to the ground he de- clared aloud defantly that if it were possible for him to commit another murder he would not hesitate to do it. It happens often when a Chinese crim- inal is sentenced to be decapitated that his friends supply him with little opium, which, possibly, mercifully pro- duces stupor and renders the doomed wretch partially insensible to his hor- rible position. The final scene is en- acted thus: When everything is ready the executioner's assistant seizes the long pigtail of the condemned man, and at one blow with his long, sharp sword his chief sweeps the head off.

snain,s Mercurv Mines.

Tn the mercury mines of Almaden, Spain, the quality of the mercury inn proves and the quantity increases the farther the distance traversed. In the deepest gallery the mercury seems to run from the rocks as resin from the trees. On being taken from the pits the ore is smelted in vast furnaces. Distillation is effected through a long and complete series of tubes, formed of thick jars, with a long narrow neck, fitting into each other. In the lower portion of these jars there exists kind of small reservoir, where the drops of mercury produced by the evaporation of the metal in state of fusion are condensed. These drops are then col lected, and, with the aid of small pipes, stored in large iron barrels. A strong and penetrating odor, which irritates the eyes and nostrils, escapes from the jars and barrels

GROWS AND RAVENS.
They Are Equally Birds of III Omen Any where.

They Are Equally Birds of III Omen Any where.
 "As much as have studied the hab- its of the American crow" said a man to a St. Louis Globe Democrat re- porter, 'I never found anything dis agreeable about him. I have often wondered where a crow gets its won- derful vision and power of scenting danger. They are queer birds, always looking down on one with an ominous eye that bodes no friendship. I never realized what awful and evil intelli- gence these birds have until I studied another type of them-the raven of In- dia. When I travelled in India three years ago 1 made many journeys on pack animals through long, dreary sec tions of territory. It was then that I perceived their wisdom.
 ''On more than one occasion our lit tie party was followed for hours and days by ravens, hungry swarm that kept certain distance. but never lost sight of us. began to wonder why we were shadowed by these hungry birds. Some of the natives said that they were watching for some of us to fall by the wayside. As an experiment I shot a dog and left it lying. These miserable vultures attacked it at once, within stones throw of us. I should wonder little but that the American crow has the same tendencies and only awaits a scarcity of grain to show them"

A MINK TRAGEDY.
The Mysterious Close of the Life of a
 Cruel Animal.

The Mysterious Close of the Life of a
 Cruel Animal.
 For couple of months have been trying to solve the problem of dead mink found lying in my barn on my return home. The mink had been dead but short time, and had no wounds upon it except at the throat where two small holes had let out it's life blood. How it came to this end has troubled me ever since, says a cor respondent of Forest and Stream. There were no cats in the barn, and the rats 'instinctively had left it" as we'll, during my absence from home. I at length concluded that two male minks must have had quarrel in the barn and one had become victim of the fight. -.'>----,--z --zss--.e E-- .- ' 7, The barn is close to the dam of one of my ponds, and had been frequented by minks in pursuit of the chickens which sometimes took up a nights lodging in it. But as they were re- moved to other quarters the minks must have had the building all to themselves. I skinned the body. which could not have been dead many hours, and the marks in the throat showed that only one firm and deadly grip had been taken. It is interesting to know that these cruel beasts have no bowels of compassion even for each other.

Antiquity of surpliced Choirs.

Surpliced choirs, wearing the vest ment now used under that name, date back to about the eleventh century, when that particular modification of the ancient alb and rochet was intro duced and the name was also invented At that time it was found awkward to put on the old narrow sleeved vest ments over the furred dresses which the dignitaries began to wear to pro- teet themselves against the cold and drafty churches; so the garment was made looser and the sleeves widened into the present well-known shape to get rid of that difficulty, and the name of sur pelisse (that which is worn over 8 fur dress) was given to the altered veStment.

What the King of the Forest Finds to
 His Liking.
 Lions and elephants were the game bagged by Mir. Selous, who, having spent twenty-one years in Africa, re- gently returned to London from Mashonaland. Mir. Selous confessed that he had killed one hundred ele- phants and twenty-five lions, says the London Graphic. His best lion story was about mail carrier in Mashona- land. The man in question was riding one horse and leading another (which carried the mails) when the lion made his appearance and his spring. The latter demoralized the mail complete ly. One horse was bowled over, the other broke away without his rider, and the mail carrier very naturally lost all interest in the mail
 The lion did not succeed in detain- ing either of the horses (they turned up next day at the fort, one very badly wounded, and without the mail bags), so he returned to the unfortunate car rier. Him the lion treed, and then sat down at the foot of the tree to await developments. Fortunately for the carrier they did not develop entirely as the lion could have wished, for the next day. caravan passed, and the lion stalked away into the bush, doubt less with an increased contempt for the refnements of civilization. The mail bags were not found for months afterward.
 ''Are lions fond of man meat?"
 ''No," said MT. Selous, ''they prefer donkeys. I think the donkeys remind them of zebras. They have no distaste for horses. But they will attack human beings. once knew lion to walk into camp where was staying and walk off with one of the police men. I've brought his skin home-the lions. I think it's in that corner-no, it isn't. I remember, I have sent it away to be cleaned"
 ''Lion hunting is dangerous, isn't it?"
 ''It depends. One learns to run few CT risks as one gets older. When I wound lion now let him go. When I was younger I used to go after him. I shall do so no more." ,sa.

DIDN'T PASS IN CHICAGO.
Fraudulent Bank of England Notes Which
 Were Accepted Tn Boston.

Fraudulent Bank of England Notes Which
 Were Accepted In Boston.
 During the last one hundred and eighty-five years commercials have been offered at the counters of the Bank of England averaging from ff- teen to twenty thousand dollars an- nually. In August, 1866, several notes on the institution for fifty pounds each were taken in Boston. They were of extraordinary excellence and deceived many experts, according to the Wash ington Star. About the same time notes of the same denomination were offered in Chicago to broker on Wash ington street, who subjected them to a critical examination. While he was gazing at the water marks by holding the bills between his eye and the light the person who offered them said he would leave them for closer inspection and skipped out. Similar fifty pound notes have recently been found circu- lating in Antwerp and many of them have fallen into the hands of emi- grants on their way to America. A large number of notes on the same
  dred pounds, dated August 16, 1883, have been offered from time to time and declared bogus. In the office of the treasurer of the United States at Washington two Bank of England notes are exhibited, framed on the wall, alongside of some artistic speci- mems of Uncle Sam's currency. The contrast is very striking. Whereas the bureau of engraving and printing here depends for protection against coun- terfeiting upon the elabOrateness of it's designs, the paper money which is as good as gold in England is so simple as to apparently invite imitation by the forger. There is a small amount of lettering and nothing else. How ever, the great financial establishment which sustains the credit of Great Britain depends upon the water marks in the paper it uses, to reproduce which would require a factory aRd the high est degree of mechanical skill. Fur thermore, the imitation of its securi- ties is so relentlessly punished as to seriously discourage the crime. Never theless, commercials on the Bank of England have been cashed more than once at the very counters of that con- cern. Such a thing happened not very long ago during hurry of business, it being day for the payment of div idends on the national debt. Advan- tage was taken of these circumstances to present twelve forgeries for fifty pounds each, which were cashed with out suspicion. Many limitations of the provincial notes of Ireland have been circulated. Likewise numerous coun- terfeits of notes on the Bank of France have appeared from time to time. Only a few months ago great quantity of fiftydranc and one hundred-franc bills were thrown broadcast on the market
