A Remarkable Dog,

The following peculiar incident is
told by a Baltimore man as occurring
to his fox terrier: Zone day, while the
cellar door was open, the dog descended
in search of rats at about O'Clock. At
$50 the dog was searched for and
thought lost No further notice was
taken in the matter until the next morn
ing at l 1 O'Clock, when was attracted
by dog yelling. After a careful search
i'll the cellar, which revealed only a
pile of sand by the wall, I noticed the
dogs nose protruding through an inch
board at the top window of the cellar
looking into the yard. | went immedl-
ately up stairs and removed five bricks
from the pavement and pulled the dog
out After a careful inspection l dis
covered he had dug under the founda-
ton OF the house in the sand, which
had caved in on him. Finding no other
means of escape, he dug up to the sur
face, distance of six feet, and on ar
irving at the brick surface, which had
been recently paved, dug toward the
window, distance of three feet, and
had nearly eaten through the board III
his efforts to free himself. He was near
ly exhausted when found, having been
26 hours underground. One eye was
entirely closed from sand, the other
nearly SO. baltimore Sun.

TIE FOOD OF THE FUTURE.
Not Unlikely That It May All BE Made
by Chemical Processes.

i
"Do you mean to predict that all our
milk, eggs, meat and flour will in the
future be made i'll factories9"
''Why not, if it proves cheaper and
better to make the same materials than
to grow them? The first steps, and you
know that it is always the first step
that costs, have already been taken. 1t
is many years, you must remember,
since first succeeded III making fat di-
rect from its elements. do not say that
we shall give you artificial beefsteaks at
once, nor do I say that we shall ever
give You the beefsteak as we now obtain
and cook it. We shall give you the
same identical food, however, chemical
~, digestively and nutritively speaking.
It's form will differ, because it will
probably be a tablet. But it will be a
tablet Of any color and shape that is de-
sired, and will, think, entirely satisfy
the epicurean senses Of the future, for
you must remember that the beefstealz
Of today is not the most perfect Of pic
lures either in color or composition.
''Tea and coffee could now be made
artifcialiy, continued the professor,
'.if the necessity should arise, or the
commercial opportunity, through the
necessary supplementary mechanical in
ventions, had been reached. -
''And what about tobacco?"
.sThe essential principle Of tobacco,
as you know, is nicotine. We have OBJ
tanned pure nicotine whose chemical
constitution is perfectly understood, by
treating salomine, q natural glucoside,
with hydrogen. Synthetic chemistry has
not made nicotine directly as yet, but it
has very nearly reached it, and the la
boratory manufacture of nicotine may
fairly be expected at any time. Conine,
the poisonous principle of hemlock, has
been made synthetically, and it is so
close in its constitution to nicotine and
SO clearly Of the same class that only
its transforma into nicotine remains
to be mastered, problem which. is net
very difficult when compared with 9th
ers which have been solved. The parent
compound from which the nicotine of
commerce will be made exists largely i'll
coal tar. From an Interview With
Professor Berthelot the French Chemist,
in McClure's Magazine.

THE RETIRED BURGLAR.
His Fondness For Little Children Gets Him
Into Trouble.

Into Trouble.
81 always was fond of little chill
dren,' said the retired burglar, "and
once I served a term Oh that account. j
had gone into house i'll the western
part of the state and rummaged about
down stairs, and finally got up and got
into room where there was a man and
his wife and a little baby, all asleep.
The baby was in a cradle that stood at
the foot Of the bed. Not far from the
cradle, standing against the wall, was
the bureau transferred whatever there
was of value in the bureau, and then
turned to the baby. l couldn' help it.
I turned my light on the kid to look at
him, and it woke him up. He stared at
me little, and then he began to smile
and double up his fists at me.
"Well, he looked SO funny that I
ehucked him under the chin, and that
seemed to tickle him immensely. He
threw up his legs and his arms and
laughed more'n ever and tried to say
something, but all he could say was
'Goo-o-o, but that was enough. You
have heard of women SO tired you could
not wake ZEN up firing a cannon in the
next room that would wake up in min
ute if the baby turned in its cradle?
Well, when this baby said 'Goo-o-o,' its
mother not only woke up instantly, but
she began to get up before she was fair
ly awake, and all the time she was look
ing toward the cradle, and she saw the
light long before could douse it. Then
she screamed, and made q great break
for the door.
''But the man got there before l did.
and besides being very quick he was
very ablebodied and not the least bit
afraid. In fact, he was a better man
than 1 was, and the upshot of this bust
ness was that l got four years and six
months just for stopping to chuck g lit

An Edison Invention Idle.

Ten years ago Mr.. Edison applied for
a patent in his own country for new
method of generating electricity, which
is now made public. 1t consists of a
furnace on which is placed an iron pot
or crucible, through the closed cover OF
which a stout rod Of carbon passes down
to near the bottom OF the crucible, where
it is surrounded by dry metallic oxides
OF other compounds capable of attacking
carbon under heat and i'll rareied air.
The closed crucible is connected with an
exhaust fan by an exhaust pipe. This
invention seems to have been abandoned
by Edison. At all events, it has not as
vet come into practical use.-London

A New Umbrella Stand.

A funny incident of drawing room
meeting was recently noticed. A grave
looking gentleman. with an unusually
tall hat, entered, and seeing no rack IN

behind the door. Pretty soon another
grave man entered with large, drip
ping umbrella, and peering anxiously
for the usual receptacle saw i'll the

eyesight was probably poor, for ne mis-

FREE COINAGE OF
SILVER.

FREE COINAGE OF
SILVER.
The free and unlimited coinage of
silver, the product of American mines,
at the old ratio of 16 of silver to I of
gold, is the only solution of and
remedy for the disturbed and unsatis-
factory condition of trade, manufac-
ture and general business of the coun-
try The surreptitious act of 1873,
divorcing silver and gold in our none
tary system, was a crime of untold
magnitude. 1t was the rankest kind
of class legislation in favor of the
wealthy against the producers OF
wealth, and hostile to the prosperity
of the United States. 1t was an act
of treason because done at the instance
of European syndicate and for bribe
money, "giving aid and comfort to
our country's enemies" To shield
the guilty parties, the well authenti-
Gated facts, often published, have been
vigorously denied.
The Enquirer will continue to ex-
pose this objectionable crime until
right and justice are done the people
by the full restoration of silver to its
old companionship with gold. We
need the assistance Of the people IN
disseminating the truth, to which end
we invite all in your selection of pa

THEN AND NOW.
It's funny what q different thing

It's funny what different thing
1t is when you are busted
FROM times when you could squande
wealth,
And fellow humans trusted
For smiles and kindly things, which cost
Them not single cent,
And return for what you did
You'd scofn to think was meant.
But get there, and you soon will find
That those who drank your wine
When you can only put up beer
Are certain to decline
But why, when you've no funds for beer,
You offer them your hand
They coldly nod and pass you by
Is hard to understand.
1t must be that they re made that way
And can't help acting mean,
And likely that their souls so small
1t never could be seen
AS fit, when they are dead and gone,
With toes turned to the daisies,
For any better fate than that
OF everlasting blazes!
