The Dog That Went to the Poorhouse.


An incident which would seem to
prove that Il dog learns to understand
the language of his country was re-
lated by che willing to vouch for its
truth. And this is the story:
A dog had come to be very old in
a family in a country village. One
of the family remarked on Il certain
day as the dog lay IN the room:

Eccentric RACES.

Handel knew his own power, as
every great man knows, and it is not
surprising that he was thought to be
proud. Nor could such a noble in
tellect be else than earnest and thor
ough. In a recent work on the great
composer, the author, Frederick j..
Crowest, writes that Handel, when
at work, was often rough and per-
emptory.
He would deal out torrents of abuse,
wen tings vos mixed, to understand
which one required to be intimately
acquainted with at least English,
French, German and Italian. Yet
these RACES were healthy outbursts of
great mind, not morbid, jealous
feelings. Such fits of wrath led to
amusing scenes. How he Numbered
and roared at Cuzzoni when she re-
fused to sing an air which he had
written for her, and only did so from
fear lest he should give effect to his
threat to throw her out of the win
dowl
What a rating, too, he gave the
poor Chester printer, Jansen, who
assured Handel he could Sing al
sight"
"You schoundrel! Tit not you tel
me dat you could sing at softer"
Yes, sin" said the affrighted
chorister, land so can, but not al
first sight"

Amateur Editing.

There is a newspaper man in this
town who was once novice at the
intricacies of the Fourth estate"
One day he was assigned to write up
common story. He had watched
the city editor good deal and saw
bim always draw his blue pencil over
sheets of copy. AS usual thing q
city editor draws a single line through
half the first paragraph of an article.
This tells the compositors that it is
to be "leaded," or the space between
each line of type is to be widened.
Two lines mean double the space.
which is generally used when a very
severe accident occurs. But this
young man didn't know this. He
thought those blue lines simply meant
that the copy had been read by the
editor, and that it was all right.
The city editor happened to be out
just when the young man turned in
his copy. The young man read his
article over carefully, drew three
lines up and down the sheets with a
blue pencil he found lying on the city
editors desk and sent the copy up to
the composing room. 1t was only "a
common police story, and the fore
man wondered what the city editor
was about when he wanted three
leads between each line of type in
such an unimportant story. But he
set it up. The city editor after
awhile came back. He saw the heavy
loaded proof on his desk. He was
paralyzed and asked the managing
editor if he had loaded that story.
That gentleman knew nothing of it..
When he found out who did it, he
called him to the desk.
Young man." he said, what pc
sition do occupy on this papers"
why, city editor, sirl" said the
young man, who was puzzled at the
question.
The city editor took up the report
ers half edited copy.
"Then take my advice and don't
try to edit copy when I chance to
step out. Do you know what it
means to draw these lines in copy
MOI Well, it means that great ac
cident has happened, and that it mu (
be loaded to attract the readers eyes.
1t was not unkind advice, and the
young man took it to heart well
Today he is city editor, and the
man who advised him one of the best
known editorial writer's in fine state

The greatest earthquake that has
ever occurred within the limits of
the United States since the discovery
of America began in California at
2;30 o'clock on the morning of March
26, 1872, and continued until the 4th
of April, during which time the s'l-'-
face of the earth was continually agi-
tated, not being perfectly quiet for
as much as single moment The
most remarkable thing in connection
with the whole affair Especially
when we consider that Mount Loa,
Sandwich Islands, and Mount Hon !,
Oregon, were simultaneously agitat-
ed) is the fact that the region around
San Francisco did not receive a single
vibration. The entire face of Inzo
county, Cal, was changed, and 81
persons killed.-St. Louis Republic.
