to celebrate the Fourth and everyone was
loaded with good supply of enthusiasm.
Crowds began to pour into the town as
early as I o'clock from the surrounding
country. The $50 train had about five
carloads Of passengers crowded into three
cars The 9.40 north-bound train came in
two sections, heavily loaded. The south
bound excursion train brought 13 carloads
and the regular train followed with five
carloads. The Junior Order American
Mechanics Band was kept busy escorting
the delegations from the depot
At this time the town was filled with
merry visitors and Loockerman street
looked more like Broadway. The town
was decorated with flags and bunting while
the small boy occupied his time firing
shooting crackers and torpedoes.
Chief Marshal Reedy was kept busy as
signing the different organizations to their
positions on Queen street and Governors
avenue, where the parade was formed. At
II o'clock the procession began to move,
resting on Loockerman street in the fol-
lowing order:

Language of the Dogs Tail.

All dogs wag their tails when
pleased, and the movement is gener-
ally understood by their human asso-
ciates as an intimation that they are
very happy. The chief delight of wild
dogs, as with modern hounds and
sporting dogs, is in the chase and it's
accompanying excitement. and conse-
quences. When the presence of
game is first detected is invariably the
time when tails are wagged for the
common good. ! The wagging is almost
an invariable accompaniment of this
form of pleasure, which is one of the
chiefest among the agreeable emotions
when in a wild state. Owing to some
inosculation of the nervous mechanis.n N
the association of pleasure and wag'
ging has become SO inseparable that
the movement of the tail follows the
emotion, whatever may callit forth.

the work of Joseph Loew, the most
noted counterfeiter that the Austrian
government ever knew.
When an application is made for a
pardon in Austria the red tape policy
of that country compels the applicant
to address the emperor with all his
titles. Emperor Ferdinand had about
forty titles. Loew engraved all of these
names, together with his petition for a
pardon, on cherry stone.
The letters were so fine that it re-
quired the aid of a powerful micro
scope to decipher them One day when
the emperor visited the prison Loew N
person presented a cherry stone to the
emperor and told him what it con-
tained. The emperor made an exam
ination and was so amazed at the work
that he gave him an unconditional par
don. Not only did he pardon him, but
gave him position as detective to
trail down counterfeiters. Loew was
well informed man in all the arts and
rascalities of counterfeiters, and in
