Friendship Between Horse and Dog.

Friendship Between Horse and Dog.
A plumber at Narragansett had horse
" years old, which was used for carry
ing around his masters material when
chat was necessary, but spent most of its
time in small pasture A fox terrier,
also belonging to the plumber, was an in
separable companion of the old horse
When the old horse was harnessed to the
cart the dog was on guard to see that
nothing was stolen from the cart. In
the pasture the dog was always shifting
around the horse and was never so de
lighted as when the horse would begin tC
rcll in the grass, which it often did, APP
pauantly to please the dog, which would
jump about in every direction and bari
Tor pure joy.
At night when the horse was put in thu
barn the dog always entered with it
friend and slept on the animals body
One day the neighbors heard the mos
dismal bowls coming from the pastur,
and found that the old horse had died
There was the terrier on the dead body
bowling out its sorrow and misery. TIT
dog remained with the body until it wa
removed forhRrial. New York Tribune

The momentous question whether it
should be lady superintendent or wom-
an superintendent has been decided by
the trustees of the normal college The
executive committee had recommended
that the bylaws of the college be amend
ed by designating one of the professors
woman superintendent.
Commissioner Lummis said he pre-
ferred lady superintendent. While there
was no DOUBT that woman superintend-
ent was correct, still he thought the term
was not generally applied in institutions
of as much Lightly as the normal col
lege. He made an amendment that lady
be inserted instead of woman.
Commissioner Hubbell said woman
was better form than lady. Mr.. Lum-

In 1874 Lieutenant Brunei of Dieppe
introduced his,pecket life saving lines, Of
which already upward Of 3,340 are being
ased in France, where they now rescue
annually some 2SJh lives. Nevertheless
these admirable inventions are almost
unknown in ourempire. Brunels small
pocket line consists of wooden float,
round which some 80 feet of stout cord
is wound. The. other end Of the cord
terminates in an efficient grapnel armed
with four small hooks The whole ap-
paratus complete weighs only five
ounces and is the most convenient of all
life saving lines. HenceI urge it's adop-
ton everywhere, especially for officials
and others engaged about our coasts. and

A Magnetic Deteoter.

A clever continuance has been invent
ed for the detection of small pieces of
magnetizable metal, such as needles,
tacks, steel and iron chips, etc., that may
have entered the human body unawares
and hidden themselves in the skin or
deeper tissues. The instrument was de-
yised by DR.. J. B. Williams and consists
essentially of partially astatic combi-
nation Of small magnetic needles sus-
pended within a glass tube. the tube be-
ing covered with tinfoil to minimize
electric action, except for a small space
through which the needle can be OBJ
served. 1t is claimed that the instru-
ment is sufficiently delicate to detect the

or iron wire at a distance of six inches
from itself.-New York Telegram
