DUDE, DUDINE, AND DOG.
An Incident Showing q High Degree OF
Canine Intelligence.

In front of Grace Church the other
day l was fortunate enough to wit
ness a delightful example of canine
intelligence, says writer IN tne
New York Press A young man IN
Chesterfield coat, bell-crown SILK
hat and white spats over patent
leather shoes, was am bling innocently
along and airing setter dog. lie
met pleasing young woman In
blue bonnet and they stopped TO
chat. The dog, left to himself, ln-
veStigated the vicinity TO the END OF
his chain, and then proceeded 10 de-
scribe a number of concentric circles.
At the end of the fifth circle he had
chained up the TWO young people In
a close embrace. The situation was
embarrassing for both, and equally
so for the dog. The man struggled
valiantly and the dog pulled hard,
with the result that several hundred
people collected to witness the unique
spectacle of two well-dressed young
people vigorously embracing each
other in bread daylight Sexton
Browns successor stood within the
doorway of the sacred edifce and
grew purple with Indignation. The
more the young man struggled the
closer he was drawn to the young
woman. Suddenly the dog stopped
pulling, and evidently made up his
mind that something had to be done.
Then, with a reproachful look at his
master, he deliberately turned and
proceeded to trOt back over the
course he had taken, unwinding the
chain. When at last the young peo-
PIE were tree, the crowd cheered.
The man petted the dog and the
young woman escaped inUo restau-
rant During all this time it never
occurred to the young man to follow
around the dog and unwind himself.

The destruction Of fish and game
in New York is exciting much at
tent on No less than twenty-five
bills to amend the game laws have
been introduced in the Assembly, reg
ulating the time and methods to be
used. All the States can well afford
To call attention to the subject The
States and the general government
stock the streams with fine varieties
Of fish, and then permit vandals. with
seines and nets and dynamite, to de-
stroy them by wholesale. The time
has come TO call a halt. The finest
fishing lake in the world is Lake
Erie, and had it not been for the
laws OF Canada there would to-day be
no fish in Lake Erie worth the seek

Frozen-Then on Fire!

Like the application of ice to the small of
your back, is the sensation produced by the
chill that precedes the fever of malaria. Then
comes the roasting stage, when every vein
throbs and is scorched as if with liquid fire.
Then you well nigh dissolve in exhausting per-
spiration that leaves you limp as wet dish
rag. These alternating torments are not re-
medable permanently with Quinine, which is,
moreover, a most damaging cumulative poison.
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters drives out the foe
and repels its further attacks. 1t is the leading
medicinal safeguard against malaria all over
the continents of North and South America,
Guatemala, the Isthmus of Panama, Mexico
and Australia. 1t regulates the liver, stomach,
bowels and Kidneys enriches tho blood, and
promotes appetite, sleep and digestion. 1t is
not only a medicine, but an effective cordial
welcome to the most delicate palate. Rheumat-
ic tendency is counteracted by it.

In the legendary lore of Canada
the devil plays prominent part.
He does not appear as the strong
angel, who fell through pride, the
enemeY of God, but as the medieval
devil of monkish legend, the pretty
prosecutor of man. Ia the rural dis
tricts of Canada, Satan is supposed to
be very active, says Blanche L. Mac
donell in the popular Science Monthly.
His company may be looked for
on all occasions. The accidental
appearance OF a little child in the
room often betrays the presence Of
the evil spirit, as the poor innocent
is sure to bewail itself vigorously.
The prince of darkness may be met

young man who excels all the rustic

gloves TO conceal his claws, and disre.
CARDS the trammels Of conventiOnality
by keeping his hat on his head to hide
his horns. He selects the prettlest girl
in the room as his partner, but his
choice is usually the village coQuette,
whose vanity or levity has exposed
her to the evil influence. In the
midst of the gaetY a piercing cry is
heard. A strong odor of birthstone
becomes perceptible, and she at

window, carrying with him some use

escape with "a sharp scratch OF claw,
particularly if she should happen to
wear a cross or a crucitlx. Canadian
rustics never answer "Entrez" when
a knock is heard at the door; they in
variable respond "Ouyrez" This is
founded upon an old legend of a
young woman who replied "Entrez"
to such summons, when the devil
came in and carried her of.
