The Intelligent Eskimo Dog.

The much referred to intelligence Of
the Scotch collie, which is a sort of first
cousin of the Eskimo dog, is undoubtedly
even surpassed by that of bis arctic rel
alive. Some Of the characteristics of
the Eskimo draft dog are almost incred-
ible. Any one who has observed them
finds it difficult to deny him the credit
of reasoning power. / had one dog
which persisted in feigning lameness or
sickness in order to shirk duty. He
would suddenly begin to limp dread
fully and look back at his driver with a
most pitiable expression. He succeeded
several times in arousing my sympathy
and being released from the harness
until one of my Eskimos assured me
that it was all trickery. After that I
punished him whenever he tried to shirk.
and in every case it would be days be-
fore any sign Of lameness would be seen.
He had a trick of slipping out of the
harness, in which he was an expert, and
made his escape from the ropes in d man
ner which would make a spi1itualistic
medium green with envy. This dog
through Sinking his work had incurred
the enmity Of the rest of the team, and
they resented repeatedly his unwilling
ness to meet his part of the teams OBJ
legations I saved him several times
from the fierce onslaught of his col
leagues after he had run away from the
sled.-A. B. Schanz in Milwaukee SEN

sailed without Her husband.

An interesting story is told Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Haggard while they were travelling
in this country in the spring of 1891. 1t
is said that while in Mexico, at Vera
Cruz, they arranged to sail north along
the Atlantic coast to New York. While
waiting for the steamer Mr.. Haggard
took small coasting boat and made
several voyages up and down the Mexi-
can seaboard in search of curiosities and
traditions, and became so interested that
he forgot the flight of time and the sail
ing day of his vessel.
Mrs. Haggard thought her husband
had been captured for a ransom, but
with the courage SO characteristic Of
her felt certain that he would turn up
all right somewhere; SO when the steam
er was ready to sail for New York she
went aboard and proceeded on her way.
When Mr.. Haggard reached Vera Cruz
and found neither steamer nor wife he
took the railroad, and as fast as steam
could take him returned to New York.
There in the corridor Of hotel husband
and wife were reunited. Ladies' Home

A Family of Dwarfs.

The appearance Of a dwarf on the
streets recently attracted considerable
attention. He was from Admission. and
was the smallest man seen in Rome
since the days of Tom Thumb. His
name is W. F. Darnell, and his Lillipu-
tian appearance is something remarka
BILE. He is sixty-four years old, and is
4 feet and 4 inches high and weighs
ninety-eight pounds. He has the face
and every appearance Of an old man,
but when he is seen walking the OBJ
server is constantly reminded Of the
small boy.
Mr.. Darnen came to Rome in search
of assistance for his son, who is afflicted
with spinal trouble. His son is twenty
one years of age, and is thirty-seven
inches high and weighs forty-four
pounds. On election day Mr.. Darnell
carried his son to the polls in his arms
and both voted. There is another son
who is twenty-four years Of age, and is
forty-seven inches high and weighs
ninety -eight pounds, the same as his
father.-Rome IN. " Tribune.

Freakish Actions of a Spring.

The greatest curiosity in West Vir-
ginia and one Of the most wonderful
freaks known in the south is a spring at
Northfeld-that is, it is located at North
field during two months Of the year and
at some other place during the other ten.
The Virginian end of this wonder is en-
gagged in active business during the two
hottest months of the year-from July l
to Aug. Sits basin being as dry as the
proverbial chip the remainder of the
year. This phenomenal fountain is no
toy water jet; neither is it a s'seep'' or
'sspouty place. On the contrary, it is
gusher.
The ten months silence and two
months activity of this Virginian oddity
is not the only phenomenon it presents.
It works on the intermission plan, spout
ing column Of water of huge dimen-
sions for fifteen minutes, then relapsing
into state of inactivity for the same
length Of time. The going and coming
Of the water are preceded by strange
roaring sound not unlike that of heavy
train passing over trestle. The size of
the stream does not seem to diminish
from year to year, being always sufici-
emily large to turn an ordinary fywheel.

Loading a mississippi Steamboat.

They loaded the lower deck inside and
out; they loaded her upper deck where
the chairs for the passengers had seemed
to be supreme, and then they loaded the
roof over that deck and the side spaces
until her sides were sunk low down near
the rivers surface, and she bristled at
every point with boxes, bales, agricul-
tural implements, brooms, carriages,
bags, and, as the captain remarked,
.sHeaven only knows what she amt got
aboard her."
The mates roared; the negroes talked
all the time OF sung to rest their mouths;
the boat kept settling in the water, and
the mountains of freight swelled at every
point It was well said that twenty or
binary freight trains on a railroad would
not carry as much freight as was slowed
aboard of her, and did not doubt the
man who remarked to me that when
such boat, SO laden, discharged her
cargo loosely at one place it often made
a pile bigger than the boat itself. Julian
Ralph in Harper's.

Lacking in Enterprise.

The city editor sat at his desk gloom

not enough enterprise, and unless some
thing occurs in the next ten days I'll dis

them salaries. Mind that, now," and the
city editor once more relapsed into gloom.

why Musicians "Tune Up"

A correspondent asks, "Why do must
clans tune their instruments after in
stead of before coming into the orches-
traT'
It is a mistake to imagine there is no
tuning of the instruments before coming
into the orchestra. Violinists, double
bass players and violas Gf professionals
or good amateurs keep their instruments,
as rule, up to concert pitch, the differ
ence of temperature, the loosening Of a
peg or variation in the tension of the
strings necessitating another tuning
when in the orchestra. Strings Of cat
gut are materially affected by moisture,
which swells them laterally and tends to
shorten them. Damp heat sharpens the
strings, while dry heat fattens them.
Concert rooms, according to the state
of the weather, experience both condi-
lions. Hence SO much tuning and play
ing as soon as in the orchestra is neces-
sary to get the instruments accustomed
to the temperature of the room. Wood
wind instruments, such as oboes, clari-
nets and bassoons, sharpen from the
swelling of the wood by the warm,
moist breath of the performer. The brass
instrument also sharpens by the heat Of
the performers breath.-London Tit

make considerable money. Those under
the up town and down town elevated
stations do so, as matter of course, be-
ing patronized by the thousands going
to and coming from work and forming
distributing points of house delivery.
But I refer more particularly now to the
little shops that have board out in
front, on which are arranged the morn
ing papers and evening papers at their
appropriate time of the day. An extra
stock is sometimes kept inside. The vend-
er sees the outside business through the
window perhaps, but you don't notice
that or pay any attention to it.
The customer grabs his paper as he
goes along, leaving the price on the
stack, and the subsequent proceedings

is all there is to it. These small stands
are also distributing points. You leave
an order at the nearest stand, and the pa
pers come up your dumb waiter in the
early morning along with your milk,
etc., and the bill is pinned to a paper at
the end of the month. These stands get
their stock from the big newsdealers.
who deliver their supplies by wagon,
and the little retailer has no direct con-
nection with the publication Office. He
returns his unsold copies and gets the
rebate through the same channel. This
rebate is paper for paper.

told me he paid the rent of his store out
of the sales on that little board out in
front. And yet the newsdealer is be-
tween him andN the publication office.
This dealer, or wholesaler, protects his
customers by SO restricting the number
of stands that they are practically in
monopoly Of certain territory. That
is why lots of other people don't run
stands. They couldn't buy the papers.
AS it would not pay them to run up and
down several miles to and from the
newspaper offices, the dealer is king

The Income Tax OF. 1864.

The heaviest income tax ever levied by
civilized government was that imposed
upon the people Of the United States in
1864, when, perhaps for the first time in
human history, patriotism was so strong
a passion that men really paid a tax
which they might have evaded. A. 7.
Stewards income tax in one year was
$4,000, being Is per cent. Of his income.
One millionaire of this city who, alarmed
at the long continuance Of the war, go
disposed of his wealth abroad that for one
fiscal year it yielded no income, gave q
true account of his affairs to the col
lector, and in accordance with the latter's
advice paid in full tax estimated on his
income Of the year before.-New York

appearances are sometimes deceptive
and popular impressions erroneous, SAID
DR.. Tracy, of the health department..
"What now?" asked.
81 had a friend, physician FROM Con-
necticut, call on me the other day. On
one of his tramps about town he had
strayed down in the Tenth ward, which
is bounded by Division, Rivington and
Norfolk streets and the Bowery. Tt is
the banner tenement house ward of the
city. There may be dozen houses in
which less than three families live, but
most of the dwellings are double decked
tenements, holding from twenty to sixty
families to the house. Children swarm
like bees, and it is probably the most
densely populated spot in the United
States, perhaps the globe. My friend
thought that the mortuary record must
be frightful.
"When I told him that it was about
the most healthful district in New York,
and with nearly the lowest death rate Of
any ward, he would scarcely believe me.
Take the Nineteenth ward, between For
tieth and Eighty-sixth streets, east Of
Sixth avenue, which is mainly filled with
the homes of the rich and well to do, the
death rate is 81. 82, while in the Tenth it
but 1878. The death rate in the old
Ninth, or the village which contains
but comparatively few tenements, is
1884. The First, Fourth and Fourteenth
are the three most unhealthful wards in
the city, the rate being $500, $3.50 and
1854 respectively. In the Twelfth ward,
which comprises all of Manhattan Island
north of Eighty-sixth street, and which
contains the largest population, having
within it's borders about 225,000 souls,
the rate is 1928.
GAS I said, casual observer would
consider the Tenth ward the most un-
healthfu1 in the city, owing to its crowded
tenements and its geographical situation
The Twenty-6rst ward, bounded by
Twenty-sixth street, Fortieth street,
Sixth avenue and the East river, con-
tains much Of the aristocratic quarter Of
the town, but the death rate is $3.50. In
fact, the Tenth ward, with its 10000
Russian Jews and Germans, has the low
est death rate of any ward except the
Third-a small ward, containing but
1900 population, and whose death rate
is 1896. New York Herald.

aracian Sculptures.

The Greeks, who manifested the high
est superiority in the most diverse
branches, may be cited to prove the want
of parallelism between the development
of the various elements of civilization.
Their literature was already brilliant in
the Homeric epoch, but modern discov-
cries in archaeology show that in the
same period their sculptures were grossly
barbaric and were simply crude imita-
tons of Egyptian Assyrian work.-Gus-
tave LIE Bon in Popular Science Monthly.
