A DOGS CAREER.
The Long and Useful Life of Sport and
His Burial at Sea.


Recently there died in Boston, and
was buried at sea" with something
like funeral honors, dog who had
lived useful life, as well as an ex
tremely long one for his kind. His
name-a very inappropriate one, fol
he seems to have been dog of staid
habits and serious life--was Sport; and
he was believed to be twenty-five years
old when he died.
He waslSnown to bemore than twenty,
for it was twenty years ago when he
"a large bull-terrier, who looked then
as if he might be an old dog-was found
wandering about Il wharf in Boston.
He seemed to be friendly fellow, and
his appearance must have been favor
able, for several men who belonged to
sailing craft tried to coax him aboard
their vessels, and several storekeepers
also offered to adopt him,
He declined the advances of all save
the men who were in the employ of the
Sprague Towboat Co., which had an
Office on the wharf To this concern he
steadfastly attached himself, and was
adopted by the crew of the tugboat
Chatterton.
About half his time he spent on
board this tug, and the rest of it about
the company's office. 1t was here that
he developed his most useful trait.
About the company's premises many
cans of oil were kept, and for this
as well as for other reasons, smoking
was forbidden.
Nevertheless, not infrequently en-
ployes of the tugs and others came
smoking about the premises. Sport
early learned what the rule was, and
made it his business to see that it was
not transgressed. Whenever man
entered the Office with pipe or cigar,
Sport went at once to him, followed
him about watchfully, and if he APP
preached the oil tanks, would seize him
by the trousers leg, growing at the
same time.
This always had the effect to stop
the smoking, Sport was a large ter
rier, weighing fifty-six pounds, and as
the boatmen said, had head like an
anvil" lie never hurt any one, but
has been known to give a smoker a
slight pinch in the leg if he did not de-
sist from his smoking.
Towards the end of last February
Sport took trip down the harbor on
the Chatterton, and when the boat re-
turned, went up stairs into the Office,
lay down, and died.
The men placed his body in stout
box, weighted with CRATE bars. A
small flag was tackled TO the box.
Then the tug steamed with the box a
distance of ten miles outside the har-
Dor, and there the coffin was slid off
the gangplank into the depths of the
ocean.-Youth's Companion.

NORTHERN INDIA.
How the British Hold Upon the Land Has
Been Strengthened.


Been Strengthened.
On the 1st of January, 1892, by great
feat of engineering, England once
more strengthened her hold upon
Northern India. The Khojak tunnel
was then completed and opened for the
public traffic. 1t has been said that
England has her right hand upon the
HindooKush and her left hand upon
the KhoialS, for by means of the tun-
mel through the mountains she finds
herself within sixty level miles of Can
dahar. The political significance of the
undertaking is apparent at the first
glance; anything that facilitates the
movements of the troops stationed
in Northern India and the quick mobli-
cation of forces upon the frontier
strengthens the grasp of England's
two strong hands.
The station of New Chaman is at the
foot of very steep grade, where the
track winds in and out through the
dead, bare hills before it plunges into
the side of the mountain. Within the
railway yards at New Chaman are sixty
miles of railway lines piled up in neat
tenmile packets, with the necessary
sleepers and other accessories, ready at
a moments notice to carry the line
into Candahar itself, which could be
filed in few days with the red coats
and white helmets of the empress of
India. New Chaman is brand new
army post. A few trees have been
planted along the new-laid streets, the
barracks and buildings are freshly
painted, and the vegetables are Just be-
ginning to show in the public garden.
From the little station of Shela Bagh,
at the eastern entrance of the tunnel,
so steep is the gradient down to the
plain that one of the inspectors little
cars, which holds three or four people,
can coast the entire distance and swing
around the curves at the rate of thirty
miles an hour. 1t is an exciting coast
now rushing from the cool air of the
tunnel, out of the darkness into the
drizzling sunshine, and down the long
grades, creeping in some places, flying
ones ears getting WARNER all the time
as the valley is gradually neared. Then
about the last curve with rush, and a
long slide into the plain, up to the sta
ton of New Chaman.
If there is to be struggle between
Russia and England at any time in the
future, Afghanistan will be the seat of
war. Herat, Cubul, Ghazni and Can
dahar will be objective points in Rus
sia's possible campaign. Butat present
England possesses the key to northern
India, and the tunnel through the Kho-
jak range gives her the control of the
fertile valley of the Argand-ab, Can
dahar as base of supplies, and all In
dia behind her.-Harper's Weekly.

some twenty yards farther on there
was tuft of slightly longer grass,
and determined to get up to this be-
fore firing. However, just before we
reached it some half dozen birds came
from the direction of the other two
rhinos and settled on our cows back,
but we eventually succeeded in reach
ing the tuft. The difficulty now was
to get into sitting position and
ready to shoot without being seen by
the birds To do this | worked my
legs toward the rhino as l lay on my
side and gradually raised myself into
a sitting position, but at that instant
the birds saw me and flew up with
their usual cry Of alarm. At the same
moment the rhino raised herself on
her forelegs like huge pig, and then
realized that | was nearer than | in

yards separating us-but she did not
appear to see me. AS she remained
sitting In this position, without NOV
ing my body, which knew might at
tract attention, stretched out my arm
behind me for the four-bore, but did
not feel it at first, and thought that
for once my faithful Ramazan had re-
ceived rather shock to his nerves on
finding himself at such close quarters.
However, he put 1t in my hand at last,
after a delay of perhaps two seconds,
which appeared to me much longer,
and l quickly planted bullet on the
point of her left shoulder, which
knocked her over. Reloading before |
moved saw she was still down, but
making desperate efforts to get up;
but as she was lying on her left side,
with her broken shoulder under her,
she was unable to do SO, and | ran up
and dispatched her with shot in the
neck. Chicago Times.

The French aneroid barometer is a

mountain heights in the Catskills, is
said to have used instruments not of
