A good Eskimo leader dog is wonder
of intelligence. he is not guided by line
or whip, but merily by words and motions
of the hands. If, whom the team is rapidly
moving, he is suddenly called upon to halt,
it stands to reason that if he stopped alb
ruptly the rest of the team and the sled
would run over him or would become en-
tangled in snarl. He therefore, when
commanded to halt, makes a curve to the
right or left and faces to the rear, moving
slowly until the sled can be stopped. He
then looks with bright eyes at the COM
mander, waiting orders, and a motion of
his hand suffices to make him change the
direction in which the outfit is going. The
leader. at last in some instances, I have
observed, is extremely proud of his re-
sponsibility, aud as consequence, main
tains an exclusive demeanor toward his
colleagues. He sleeps by himself and
growls when approached by what he con-
siders his inferior. It is customary to feed
him separately and encourage him in his
vanity, and it is conventional rule never
to submit him to PHYSICAL punishment.-A. A.

A bill has recently been presented in
congress requiring the Secretary of the
Treasury to provide for the calling in Of
all ragged, worn and soiled paper money
new bills to be furnished in place of the
old and unclean notes. It is surprising,
when one thinks of it, that some such &C.
tion has not long ago been taken, for not
little of the paper money daily passing
fom hand to hand has become extremely
repulsive IN appearance, and is ever sug-
gestive of disease-spreading power.
In any provision made for the calling
in of the old and soiled bills the bank must,
of course, be the principal Intermediates,
hut they would in most cases be only too
glad to substitute new bills for all the old
ones which come over their counters, could
sufficient facilities be afforded for obtain.
ing new bills from the Treasury depart.
ment. resolution now before congress ia
designed to give more deserved prom
inence to this matter, and it is to be hoped
the measure will be promptly adopted

CHAPTER OF THEORY.
Ii By ANY Chance This is the Dis
ease, How Did 1t Get Here I?

Admitting for the sake of argu ment
that the Cause OF the seven deaths has
been cholera, the authorities are ct q loss
to know how it eucered the city.
There are three distinct theor ies-a the
Org for each set OF cases. In regard to
the first sst-the death of the woman
Lewis aud her three companions, sup
posedly from eating craba-the theory IL
advanced that perhaps she picked up
from the Hackensack River q mattress, a
piece OF clothing, or some other article
from the cholera ship recently anchored
OH the Quarantine station In the Lower
Bay. Her ~boathousa is on the river bank
and II anything in this nature fioated to
her habitatinn it is safe to say she would
have taken it from tue water, as is the
'longsnore habit, for It's apparent value,
not thinking of the possibility of DANCE .
The fruit theory is advanced in refer
ence to the deaths of Morton, Mrs. Smith
and Grove. Morton was employed in
New York handling foreign frat. He
took some OF it home aud partook freely
OF 1t. as did his wife and children and his
s~istsr-in-law. Grove eat of tho fruit
growing in the City Hospital yard.
The Ihtrd theory. that In relation to
the sickncss of Mrs. Black of Fisk ave-
nue.. il that the germs were taken into
the system by the drinking OF cistern
water. 1t is said cistern water is almost
exclusively drunk in this neighborhood.
There is also the hydrant water there.
but it 10 seldom used for drinking pur-
poses, it is said.
Again In the cases OF the four deaths
at the boathouss it might be that the
germs had entered the crabs in the
Hackensack River and been %sdevoured by
the people at the boathouse in them.
But MS they were boiled. this is not
scientifically probable. Morse seld ON or
never left the city.

A HUCKSTER's SCHEME.

How He Raised Twenty-Five Chickens
From a Pair in an Hour or Two.
Some time ago u Trenton huckster,
finding trade rather dull in the city,
bought 9 load of crockery ware and
started out to sell 1t through the coantry.
He got quite a distance from home before
he sold it. and finally he had out one
piece left. He came across a lady who
wanted IL badly. but she had no money.
He told her he would take rags or old
iron, but she did not have any,.
He then asked IL she had any
eggs. She said she had net, but she had
SOME chickens. He cold her she might
have the article Tor 4 pair OF young pull
let's, and the decker was soon made. He
put the chickens In his wagon and start
ed on his way home. Presently he came
by q farm house, where there were a
number OF chickens III the road, and he
stopped, got out and began 10 chase
them. The farmer came out aud very
reasonably inquired what he meant hY
doing so. The reply was that Que of
his chickens got out OF the wagon,
aud he was trying TO catch it: SO the
farmer turned In and helped catch the
chicken, which wAs also placsd In the
wagon. This operation was repeated
several times-so often, in fact, that by
the time the hucEster reached Trenton
he had twenty-five fowls in his wagon,
and their owners helped him CATCH every
one OF them except the two he traded for.
He claims he didn't steal q single
chicken of the los.

yIcIoRIA's LOVE OF FLOWERS.

Bowls of Roses Decorate Her Dinner
Table at Old Windsor.
Queen Victoria is a lover of flowers
but her table decorations are of the
simplest. A few bowls Of roses or other
simple blossoms. cut in the beautiful
garde us at old Windsor, and the rest Of
the decorations laid upon the table, in
plain glass troughs, straight aud curved,
constitute, as q rule, the who'll adorn-
ment Of the royal dinner table, the only
notable exception being the magnificent
silver-gilt punch bowl which stands in
The state dining room, aud is crowned
with flowers on great occasions.
For ordinary dinner pRrtfes, however.
the Queens table Is decorated with
excellent taste but great simplicity, the
one inhexible rule being thaL upon no
two consecutive occasions shall they be
IN tins same style. The Queen is an
admirer of orchids. but does NOT profess
TO be Il cannoisseur Of those freaks" of

There is a prof set on foot among the
Hoboken Library Trustees to erect u new
building for \ free library in that city.
The present quarters of this library in
the basement Of the Second National
Baud building are entirely inadequate
for the increasing demands of the
library.
1t has been the aim of the trustees and
the librarian. Thomas f. Hatfield, TO get
more commodious quarters for the past
year. Mayor Pagan was consulted, and
although he expressed himself heartily in
favor of The movement he refused TO lend
his aid to any project calling for an ex-
penditure of money by the city. He
offered the use OF the armory OF the Sec
ond Regiment to the trustees. but they
declined to accapt 1t. Tha armor would
not make an ideal library.
THE SITE DESIRED.
Now it Is SAID that the trustees are en-
deavoring to secure the northeast corner
of Fourth and Garden streets on which to
erect as handsome q bnilding as the
funds at their command will allow. THIS
corner is at present occupied
which have osen repeatedly set on
is in litigation and tue Library Trustees
will make al effort to nave it condemned.
Librarian Thomas I. Hatfield is enthusi-
astic over this site. He said It was the
best that could be procured. It was III
the most central portion .of the city and
within easy reach Of all the patrous of
the Free Library.
