SAVED A LIFE TWICE.
A Mastiff That Is Not Afraid OF
Cold Water.
New YORK sun.

New YORK sun.
Every day when Bill Burdge trudges
down from his little snanty in Navrsink
Highlands, \. j., TO the Shrew5ury River
to dig some clans he stops al the East River
Annex Hotel and Whistles. In answer to
his whistle a magnificent mastiff dashes out
to rub him with ex,raYagant signs OF well
come. "Clams, Dave" says Bill, and the
pair walk down TO the river. a few rods
from the hotel, where Bill churns uD his
clans while Dave sits on the shore and
watches, occasionally taking a few winks
OF sleep.
Dave is the property Of Sam John ION, who
runs the Annex Hotel; but the best affec-
tiOn of his canine heart is given to Bill
Burdge, the brakeH-dOwn veteran of the
war who does odd jobs in the summer time
ana digs CLANS in the winter Tor LIVING.
Dawes love for Bill is only eQu.led by
BilPs love Tor Dave, and the two are we'll
nigh iHseparabIe. The friendship ex ted
for years. but 1t has been closer and warmer
since last October, when Dave saved Bill
from being killed by TWO vicious bulldogs.
The Sun told then how the veteran. walking
downtown one Sunday, was attacked by
sam JOhnsOn's fighting bulldogs; how he
was pulled down and torn by the savage
brutes, who had almost killed him when he
shouted to Dave for help; and bow the
great mastiff, hearing him from his place in
the hotel, came to the rescue, fought off the
bulldogs, and saved his friends life. The
owner OF the bulldogs. who also owns Dave,
took care of Bill until his wounds were
healed and he was able to wander about
again with the mastiff for COMPANION.
The scars on Burdge's head were not healed
when, on last Friday, Dave again saved his
life.
After all the other clamdiggers stopped
wOrk on account of the thiuness of the ice
ice on the Shrewsbury River, Bill kept on.
Ii was his only way of making living, he
said, and, anyway, he guessed the ice
would bold out. So. disregarding the
warnings of the other men, be went out FRI
day on the ice and cut hole, Dave, of
course, going with him. AS h- was chop
ping at the hole there was a cracking sound,
and long shivcr ran along the surface of
the ice. Dave didn't like it. He shifted
and whined, and finally, catching Bill by
the coat, tried TO pull him back to the shore.
Bill says there Is no doubt about this.
'Shut up, Dave" he said. This Is all
right. If you don't like It, 60 ashore. Go
on now and lie down."
The mastiif, after few barks of remon-
Stance, trotted TO the beach and lay down.
Bill chopped his hole through and began
churning up the clans with his rake. He

Articles Left in the Cars.


A brown paper parcel of goodly proper
tions was turned in a: the lost-article bureau
OF the Wagner Palace Car Company a few
days age, the contents of which gave fair
idea of the kind OF articles that travellers on
the rail leave behind them in their forget
fulness. The bundle aforesaid contained
the collection Of lost articles made by the
conductor Of one sleeping-car for the month
of Decem Der. The variety of articles thus
accumulated was amusing as we'll as inter-
esting. When the bundle was united or the
broad table in the lost-article bureau, the
first thing that rolled out was a silver
handled shaving-brush. There was no ac-
campanying razor. the owner probably
having remembered to put that useful in
strument back in his satchel. A full set of
false teeth nestled cozily in aclaster of false
hair and small copy of the Episcopal
prayer-book was jammed against neat
leather-covered pocket flask. OF tooth
brushes and hair-brushes and combs there
were half a dozen each. Other Things in
this odd collection included baby's milk
bottle. pair OF ladies' slippers. Que patent
leather shoe once worn by man, wooden
undershirt, manicure set in russia morocco
case. two or three empty portemOnnaies and,
most singular Of all, dainty little bonnet
so attractive In form and color that 1t is a
wonder how any woman could have for

READING IN ICELAND.

Atlantic Monthly.
One naturally expects the clergy to be
more or less educated and to have books as
a necessary accompaniment. but one hardly
dares to expect much OF the ordinary farm
ers of so poor a land as Iceland, yet. in
spite of all draw backs, the IcelaDdic farmer
manages to have few books and some
times remarkable number. On my trip to
Hecla and Krisuvik | omitted no npportu-
nifty in looking over the books in the farm
houses.
Sometimes I found nothing but the Bible
and the pSalm-boOk or an old treatise on
farming or some practical religions work,
but little inquiry usually brought out few
volumes Of the old sages. At farm house
almost under the shadow of Hecla l found
on the chest of drawers in my bedroom
several school books - one for learning
Danish-a volume of tales and the usual
salm- book. AGAINST the wall hung port
folio partly filed with 1celandic news
papers.

a strong face, mighty, hawk-like nose, a
little fringe OF beard under his chin, and
sharp, penetrating eyes.
He thought there was a copy In the house.
and presently returned with a well-wnrn
volume published in Copenhagen liz 1872,
having part of the tiile-page printed in
vermillion. Other books were lying about
the room. A bunch OF newspapers pub
lished at Reykjavik hung against the wall,
and the first number of a new religious
newspaper was handed about as a specimen

curious case has been decided in a
French country town. la the year 1854 tie
famous Marshal Boufllers pledged himself
and his heirs or the eventual proprietors of

measures OF corn on condition that the lat

since the law regulating public instruction,
the clerical teachers had been replaced by
lay masters, who did not fulfill the first
part of the contract signed by Marshal
Bouffirrs. The Duke de Lewis Mirepoix
accordingly stopped the annual supply of
corn, but the mayoralty Of Crillon iLsti-
tuted proceedings against him.
The tribunal has decided that the Duke
de Levis-Mlrepnix, not being descendant
of Marshal BOuftlers or In any way men,
Der of the latteT's family, was not empow-
cred to cancel gift made by the Marshal,

: The Society for the Prevention of Cru

One Of the most enthusiastic members of
this society is NJ. Aurelien Seholl, the

his garden in the Rue de Clichy is throng ged
with dogs, cats and even members of the

TO care for the wants Of all these pets, and
