Fcroolous wnd Dogs.

The general belief of the wild dog tribes of India is borne out by two stories told by Colonel Baldwin of their attack ing the bear and tho tiger which put the fact beyond doubt A bear was found by an English officer standing at bay be. fore the dogs He had killed one, but his hide and body were torn in strips by the bites of the pack. In tho other the fresh bones of a tiger were found from which the flesh had been eaten Onopaw still remained whole, and close hy lay the freshly killed bodies of three wild dogs which had fallen in the fight
 Remembering not only the strength and activity of the tiger but the aston. 'ishing pluck with which, even when wounded, t will constantly charge q hue of elephants and endeavor to scale tho howdah which is, in fact fort with an armed garrison-it is difficult 10 oYerestimate the courage of the wild dogs in meeting and destroying such an antagonist, We think 1t extremely pro pablo that future observations of the courage of tho wild dog may justify D statement once made, perhaps without sufficient evidence, that they have an inherent hostility to q larger felina, and are necessarily on the watch to destroy their whelps, 50 that the species are tho instrument by which nature keeps down the superintendent felinp of the wilder ness.

Miss nuntipgton's First Opera Part,

Miss Agnes Huntingdon tells very in- teresting story of her first appearance in opera 1t happened in New Haven some six years ago, seid Miss Huntington. "The opera was Goralga, and sang the rolo of the holy duchess, The first words of my song were oh, holy VOW. The ladies of the chorus and were sup. posed to be on visit to the shrine and slowly wended our way down a steep mountain side Arrived at the shrine the chorus knelt, and the closing lines of their song was my entrance cue, stood upon platform fully 10 feet high wait ing until tho song closed and you can imagine was frightfunyneryous. While l was waiting hero the comedian ad dressed me, informing me that the stage manager of the theater had been killed one year before at exactly the spot on which was standing. the platform hay ing given way.
 This was rather a cheerful piece of information to give to person who was ready to drop from fright but l nerved myself for the effort and sang my song well enough to receive an encore, al- though don't think 1 could have stood up had not supported myself on staff carried used very little makeup in this scene, and tho conductor of the or chestra told me eFterward that looked like ghost fronl the front. one of the results of that comedian's brilliant speech.

A Backward Season.

A cool spring has greatly interfered with the selling of eeasonable goods. Shoppers are not inclined to buy freely of cottons and summer silks whenInany are still wearing furs and heavy fiannels. The weather is a great factor in selling goods, as all dealers know, but the effect is felt more among retailers than job bers and wholesalers The two latter classes sold freely in anticipation of the season, but the retailers have not got rid of much that they then bought, 6w ing to the dilatoriness of spring.
 The business through March and April was not mp to expectations. But just about so much must besold anyway, and the bulk was simply shifted to May and June. Each shopper buys, more or less, as she needs tho goods, and the need of summer garments or many for spring has not been felt yet. But warm days must come, and with their coming stocks will move that may now seem stationary. Dry Goods Economist.

The Rockies From Denver.

It surprised mo to discover that Den yer was a city of the plains. There is nothing in the appearance of the plains to lead one to suppose that they tilt up like Q toboggan slide as they do, or that Denver is a mile above the sea level, as it is. But a part of it's enormous good fortune is that althoughitis a plain city it has tho mountains for near neighbors
 "a long peaked and scalloped line of purple or pink or blue or snowclad green, according to when they are viewed. There are 200 miles or more of the Rock ies in sight ill clear weather. As there are but 56 cloudy days in the year, and as these mountains elevate and inspire even the dullest souls, I think we can forget that 1t is g city of the plains and ever associate it with the mountains ereafter.--Julian Ralph in Harper's

 A reception was to be held the follow. ing night. 4 solution of nitrate of sil- yer had been obtained, and with this powerful caustio pictures and letters were drawn upon the fair bosoms and naked arms of the beYy of pretty dam- sells Only by wearing high necked dresses and long sleeves could the disfg- uring marks be concealed.

A dog died Tuesday with full evidence of intentional suicide. The dog was a collie owned by Frank Austin, prom inent citizen of Eckerty. It seldom left hoIne--neyer without him, and he never without it. But he had business in Louisville. The dog followed him despite his efforts to drive him back. When the man got upon the train, the dog ran to and fro along the track and at last sat down and cried piteously. This was continued until another train approached, when he laid his neck upon the track. and the head was seyered.- Cor. Indianapolis Sentinel.

Not until recently have the inhabitants of Russia known the use Of beds, except ing in the case of the luxurious patri- clans who were ablo 10 purchase them. The peasants slept on the large bake ovens to be found in nearly every house. while the soldiers were provided with q sort of cot without bedding. The mid dle classes and the students, on the other hand, contented themselves with wrap ping 8 blanket about them and lying down near rather primitive looking stoves.
 Not so long ago beds were introduced into the boarding schools which abound in that empire, and now the use of beds has become rather general As is usual in this absolute monarchy, the introduc tion of these articles of comfort had to be brought about by a special edict from the czar of all the Russias, and as q mat ter of course the servile schoolboys and others who have been allowed to use them by royal behest naturally look upon his lighness as g great benefactor They might well do so, for never before have tho babies even known the exist ence of cradles, cribs or eots.-House Et,t-,,fsi,;,,sy Tav-ioy,r
