Where Two Little Dogs Make Their

Jack and Floe are the names of two
dogs who belong to Won Schmid's dredger
that is now working in Oakland barbor.
They were born on the roof Of the
dredger's eDgine-room and have never
been off it for a moment during their
lives Yet they are perfectly happy and
show no desire to leave their limited home.
The mother of the dogs came aboard the
dredger when it was lying at the wharf
about two years ago and at once pro-
ceeded to make it her home. The men
liked her and put her on the roof. where
she was provided with a box to sleep in.
There was no way for her 10 get off. as the
only means of communication with the
deck is ladder, but she showed no in
clination to do so. and in a short time the
puppies were born. There were only two
OF them. and after raising them SO that
they could take care of themselves the
mother died and left them alone on the
roof.

to be talked of. About the beginning
of 1882 Arab was raised to the
rank of Pasha. and appointed Under Sec

This appointment was very popular with
the army, and was a direct blow at the
authority which England and France ex-
erclsed Jointly over Egyptian finance.

blank. He is perfectly contented with his
lot and has no desire to return to
his native country. He smokes inees-

exercise of any description, and in The use

He asks not converse nor cOmDanionshp
In the cold starlight where thou canst not CLIMB.

And binds the scattered ages with song.

sTUNa BY a sNAK E, BUT SAVED
Narrow Escape of Boy and Mule in
Camden County.


White Oak Station, Camden county, Ca,
Oct. 1S-On last Saturday evening was
visited by my son, Simon Brown, and his
family, who remained until sunset. which
made it late when they reached home. Be
fore leaving. one of my granddaughters
asked me to loan her my mule TO drive to
church Sunday. Her request was granted.
put the bride on the mule and her little
brother Fed, Is years old, rode him up to
his fathers place. Between IL and y
clock that night received a message in
great haste, that my little grandson and
mule had been bitten by a rattlesnalze
II was near about dark when the party
reached home, and of course the first
thing to be done was to feed the stock
In the stall where the mule was put was
a good sized meat box for a manger and
in that box was the snake The mule
stuck his mouth in to eat the corn. and
instantly Jerked it out. and repeated it
three times without eating any corn MY
grandson then put his hand down in the
box TO ind out the cause of the mules
falling to eat. and the snake bit him on
the back of the hand. He thought a hen
was setting in the box. but the sting
soon proved his mistake. and he called
TO his father that he had been bitten by
a snake. y light was produced, and on in
Nestgation, the RATHER was found well
at everything that came in his reach. DIR.
John Mchinnon was soon at hand and
went TO work with a will and certainly
saved the little fellows life. In the mean
time my two oldest grandsons were work
ing on the mule.
Now ] will give a recipe for rattle-snake
bites, which l firmly believe to be a SOW
eretgn remedy. My grandsons had just re-
turned from a store with some of the best
chewing tobacco that was to be had in the
country and not knowing what else to do
for the poor dumb beast, went to work.
cut up large plug, 4 inches wide and
nearly foot long, and put in a pot to 8
pints of water, and boiled it down until
the water was as strong as the tobacco
itself, almost black, and drenched him on
that as soon as it was cool enough not to
blister his throat.
Before the tobacco juice was cool
| enough to be used the mule was washed
| down with perspiration and in a perfect
tremble, or spasm, and almost in the act
of falling, and in ten minutes after he was
drenched he commenced biting the grass
and his system became quiet, and We all
| believe the decoction of tobacco has gone
long ways in helping to neutralize the
poison. DR.. Mckinnon made three deer
nelson's into his under lip exactly where
