A Dog Habit.

Have you ever thought why it is that
dog turns around and around when he
jumps up on his cushion or starts to set
tic himself anywhere for nap? Now
that you are reminded, you can recall
that you have seen dog do it many
times, can't you? This habit is about
all that is left to our tame little doggies
of the days long ago, when they were a
race of wild animals and lived in the
woods. Their beds then were matted
grass and leaves, and it was to trample
enough grass and properly arrange the
leaves that the dog always trod around
a narrow circle before he would lie
down. The dog of today keeps up the
same old habit, although there is no
longer any need for it, and of course the
animal has no notion why he does it. -

"A certain young man OF this county,
says the High Bridge Gazette, wanted to
marry his al best girl" but her parents,
who are quite wealthy, seriously objected
to the match. Thereupon the young man
became lawfully sick and had terrible
fainiing spells. A physician was called,
who pronounced his case hopeless and
said he would soon die. The father OF
the girl visited the patient, and the "hope-
lessly sick young man said II he could
only marry his "Mary Ann" he would
die happy. His dying request could GER
tauly not be refused, and, Mary Aun !"
having no objection, a minister was sent
for and the marriage ceremony was per-
formed. The knot being securely tied,
the patient a-ose from his bed well man.
II was great cure, astonishing the parents
Of the newly made bride. but not Mary
Ann and the physician, who knew all
about the trick.

HeImholta's Remarkable Brain.

In order to satisfy scientific men as to
the real cause of Professor Helmholtz' 8
death, says the London Telegraph's Ber-
lin correspondent, a post norton exam
nation was made at the desire of his
relatives, the chief results Of which are
as followsi AS consequence of the par
alytio strokes the left portion of the
brain was considerably softened, while
the right portion was perfectly normal
and sound. The brain displayed unusu-
ally numerous cerebral situations, such
as are known to be generally observed
in the brains of persons Of very great
intellect. The physicians and patholo-
gists who conducted the examination
were extremely interested in what
they saw, and cast Of tho brain was
Immediately taken. Other organs OF
the body showed some signs of disorder.
but in his lifetime the deceased had not
experienced any Inconvenience there
from.

l. the Long European Peace to End ?

II is a dismal prospect that opens be-
fore Europe this season. There is an evil
dent foreboding that the war which Is
raging between japan and China may
mark the beginning of the long dreaded
European war that has been STAYED off
for more than than twenty years. In
oltlcn times Japan aud China might have
worried each other 10 Corea for genera
ton without even a rumor OF their mutual
bucheries reaching European ears. To.
day al. that has been altered. Commerce
has linked nation with nation 50 closely
that every move in the Orient reacts upon,
the Stock Exchange of London and the
markets OF America and no one can say
how soon the conflagration IL the farthest
East may fire the powder magazines of
the West. England, Russia and France
are all deeply interested in the issue OF
the contest, aud it will take wary walking
on the part of the rulers of the world II
they are not to stumble into the yawning
gulf of war. The danger is serious, =

Pigeons.

1t has been found that pigeons bred
in long low barn fetch higher price
for shooting matches. The birds from
early habit, learned in their nesting
place, when loosed from the trap start
Immediately on a long, low fight in
stead Of wheeling in air, as some pi-
geons do. The habit makes them more
difficult to hit than other birds and en-
hances their value.

The lighthouse stands by the wave washet

And sheds its light afar,
While Ger tho foam the ships sail home,
Where quiet Ravens are.

And fog drops down on yonder town;

Amid the surging spray;

While years will glide away
