Dogs as Fire Alarms.

Nature has so fashioned the dogs
nose that the nasal bones are convO-
luted and rolled in scrolls. upon which
his olfactory nerves are spread so that
the entire space from his eyes forward
is a most intricate and delicate smell
ing machine" and the largest which
has been given to any living crea ture.
The organ is extremely sensitive. es-
pecially in the spaniel breed.
One OF these little Jewels in the house
will not only instantly warn all inmates
against intruders. but will be the first
to discover by its sensitive nose. that
most deadly and dreadful Of all ele-
ments-fre-which comes creeping
stealthily upon the unconscious sleepers
and suffocates them in their beds or
arouses them only to die a horrible
death in the sitting, smoke filled halls
and stairways.
No spaniel or hunting dog can rest
an instant while the slightest puff of
smoke is irritating his sensitive nostrils.
He will fret and whine and increase the
volume of his alarm until the house
hold is aroused, and do all this long
before any human being can detect the
faintest odor of smoke. He is indeed a
most prompt, speedy, reliable fire alarm
which never fails and never gets out OF
order while his life lasts.-N. Y. Herald

THE ELECTRIC HEARsE.
CInnging Gongs and BreakuecL Speed
En- Route to the Cemetery.

The San Francisco and San Mateo
electric railway company has put on a
funeral car and proposes to carry the
dead from any point along its line TO
any of the four cemeteries for $40, or 81
less than the Southern Pacific rates.
The funeral car created a sensation
along the entire route, the first patrons
of the new venture being the Knights
of Pythias.
No 80. the new electric hearse. was
side-tracked at the corner of Fifth and
Harrison-sts. few minutes before noon.
The preliminary trip from the car-hOuse
to this place attracted great deal Of
attention.
At the corner Of Fifth and Harrison
SITS IL took only a few minutes to col
lect a large crowd Of Sunday sightseers
and by the time the undertaker's hearse
arrived bearing the remains Of Napoleon
Bonaparte LaZard, the deceased Pythian,
eight or nine hundred men, women and
children blocked the street. They
surged curiously around car No. 81 as
it stood there waiting for it's silent pas
senger. When the hearse was driven
up the crowd drew back respectfully
and left a little lane for it's passage up
10 the big sliding door in the side of
the car. The six pallbearers who accom-
panied the hearse quickly lifted up the
coffin containing the body and slid it
gently in through the open door,
Then, with uncovered heads, they
climbed in after II and closed the fu-
neral draped door. The conductor rang
the bell twice, the motorman changed his
gong with a noise that seemed somehow
strangely out of place, turned on the
electric current, and the dead man
started on his last journey. Meanwhile
the mOurners, members OF the Pythian
order, had arrived in carriages following
the hearse. They boarded an ordinary
| electric car that was also waiting, and
a moment later the crowd drew back
at the sound Of the gong and the car
followed No. 80 and its lifeless burden.
1t was hard to realize that the two cars
rolling rapidly along the street lined with
| gaping spectators were a funeral train
the shouts Of children along the route
the sharp changing of the gongs and
| particularly the speed OF the two cars
were so totally dissimilar to the accus-
toned solemnity of such parades. Peo-
| pie hurried to the windows of the houses
| along the line, and a few even waved
hanckerchiefs, as If ii were a gala occa-
| sion of some sort. At Thirtieth-st. a
! short stop was made to wait for n re-
| turning car to pass, and in a minute an
| other curious throng was push
| ing and jostling around the funeral car
| with the morbid eagerness that a crowd
| always possesses to get a glimpse of a
! coffin After leaving Thirtieth-st the
| line gets out into the open country, and
| with the disappearance Of the crowds
| of spectators the changing Of the gong
| ceased. Still the speed with which the
| two cars rolled along toward the Gene
] teries gave an undefnable sensation
that there was something out Of place.

Hotel snnerrtitinn.

A short, heavy set man entered the
Holland house yesterday and wrote his
name on the register. AS he dropped the
pen he closed the register with a bang.
Don't do that" exclaimed one Of the
clerks, hurriedly opening the register
again.
"why not? Too much noise?" asked
the guest.

II am not superstitious, but II is we'll
known that a shut register means a
poor business. You cannot find a hotel
clerk in town who will not say the same
thing"
What cures the evil once it is done?'
asked the guest.
Keep the register upside down for two
hours" said the clerk. II will wager
that not a register in one Of the big
hotels is closed four times a year unless
II is done by guest before the clerks
can prevent It,"
