My wife tells me, says a writer in

In Mrs. Olive Thorne Miller's volume.
Our Home Pets" is told a story of a
dear collie dog and his gratitude. The
dog, 1t appears, was a great pet in the
family OF a colonial soldier, and was
particularly noted for his antipathy to
Indians, whom he delighted to track.
On one campaign against the French,
the dog insisted on accompanying his
master, although his feet were in o
terrible condition from having been
frozen the previous winter. During
the fight, which ended in the famous
Braddock defeat, the dog was ever be-
side his master; but when it was over
they became separated, and the soldier,
concluding that his pet had been
killed, went home without him.
Some weeks later, however, the dog
appeared In his old home, separated
from his battlefield by many miles of
thick forest. He was tired and worn,
but ver his sore feet were fastened
ncat moccasins, showing that he had
been among Indians, who had been
kind TO him. Moreover, he oon proved
that he had changed his mirsl about
his former foe, for neither brides nor
threats could ever again induce him TO
track an Indian

The First White Man Who Ever Accom-

 Charles T. NGylor, an American pros pector who left the city of Chihuahua eight months ago fer a trip across the Sierre Madre mountains and through the wild and dangerous coun- tyy inhabited by the Yaqui Indians: arrived at HerInosillo, Mexico, re- gently
 His trip was made in the search of silver and gold. and was the most des perate undertaking imaginable. Mir. Naylor's route from Chihuahua was by way of Tomochic, the town which was entirely depopulated in an attack made upon the inhabitants over a year ago by Mexican troops, who nasSacre6 the men, women and children.
 AIr. Nayior stated that in the noun tains west of the fated town he came upon Q band of about two hundred TonocLic braves who had an almost impenetrable rendezvous upon which all attacks Of Mexican soldiers had proved futile. Unon observing that NIT. Naylcr was an American bent upon a peaceful mission, he was well received. He spent two weeks with the Iomochics and then entered the Yaqui country. It was there that he met with difficulties. He was captured by band of Yaquis and held prisoner for several days pending decision of the chief as to what disposition should be made of him. After several solemn councils by the chief with the other prominent mem bcrs of the tribe, Mir. Naylor was placed upon horse and with two wounded Indians as guards was started across the coun- try toward the west. He passed through number of villages, and was never permitted to tarry longer than one night at single place.
 At t,3e western confines of the Yaqui country his guards left him and he made his way with great difficulty across the mountains to Hermosillo MT. Naylor tells some maI velous stories of the mineral richness of the Yaqui country and states that the number of the members of the Yaqui tribe has been greatly underestimated. He claims to have seen fully three thou sand armed braves. Some of the h. dian towns contain handsome chapels and buildings, all of Aztec architec- ture. Mir. Naylor is the first white man that is known to have crossed the Yaqui country. There have been nu- merous attempts made, but the Ya- quis always interfered. This is the only tribe in Mexico which has never been conquered.

A Chineso Ten Legend.

There is strange Chinese legend concerning the tea plant Accorlingt to the story, there once lived 9 very pious hermit who passed the greater part of his time in prayer and vigils. He was, however. unable to keep awake as long as he wished, and often found his eyes closing while he was in the very midst of his devot;ons. This naturally an- noyed him, and one day in a 1t of wrath against this weakness of the flesh, which he seemed unable to over come, he cut off the offending eyelids and cast them upon the ground. But his action had been observed by god, who immediately caused tea shrub to spring up from the spot where the eye lids had fallen. It is in reference to this, according to the legend that the leaves of the tea plant arc shaped like eyelids, fringed with lashes, and pos sess the power of warding off sleep.

A UNIQUE FACTORY.
Where Medicine and Food Is Msnufac-
 tured for Dogs.

Where Medicine and Food Is Manufac-
 tured for Dogs.
 One of the two factories of this coun- fry for the making of patent food and patent medicine for dogs has been de- scribed in the New York News The founder of this novel esta blishInent was a Scotchman. He was employed in London kennels. studied the needs of dogs, thought out special treatment for them, and finally took out patents on food and medicines, and in his unique business amassed fortune.
 On the second floor the visitor enters the receiving room of the raw mate rials. Thousands of pounds of butchers scraps are brought here in the course of a month. Oatmeal in wholesale quantities and tons of herbs are used. The old-fashioned dog's bane, boEeset, catnip and beet root, under various scientific names, find use as food or as medicine
 The second floor is occupied by four curious machines with great cylinder attachments After the fat and the meat have been sorted, they are ground separately in these machines, and then placed in great wooden tubs where various mixtures are added.
 The next process seems so much like the ordinary bakers work that one is quite disposed to taste things, and when the round and square cakes of a tempt ing brown have been taken from the brick ovens, one really envies the aristocratic dog. After cooling, the biscuits arc packed in neat pasteboard boxes.
 According to size these boxes are la- belled for pet dogs, for greyhounds and for St. Bernards. There are spec tally prepared dishes for cats. Suffi cient food to keep pussy for two days may be had for five cents. But it costs a pretty penny to keep dog. A large dog must have six or eight cakes beside a quantity of meat. The meat costs probably abont ten cents and the cakes are four cents apiece.
 The most interesting department is that of the patent medicines at the top of the building. The mixture of herbs and chemicals are boiled in great ket- ties, and the liquid is brought up to this floor to be put in bottles of various sizes and labelled ''cure for mango" ''liniment for sprains, and ito prevent badness" Sure cures for seventeen diseases, and pills as we'll as liquid med icines are made.
 This curious establishment also makes dog collars, dog soaps, crates for carrying or shipping dogs, dog brushes and combs, blankets and mack intosh waterproofs with hoods, for <rravbouOdc

A RUSSIAN EMPERoR's METHOD.

How He Replenished and Maintained tho Imperial Treasury.
 7 Among other expcdients to raise money, Ivan resigned the crown in favor of Tartar khan, who was bap- tized under the name of Simeon, says the Gentlenan's Magazine. Ivan feigned to withdraw himself from pub lie affairs, but in realty he held on to them, and made the new czar call in all the charters formerly granted to the monasteries and bishoprics and all the charters were cancelled. The curious interrcgnum, or by what other name it should be designated, lasted nearly year, and then Ivan declared he did not like the new regime, and dismissing the baptized heathen, again took up the seepter which, as matter of fact, he had never really discarded.
 He issued fresh charters to the monas- teries, but was careful to keep back several fine slices of the revenues, ex- torting from some of them fifty thou sand and from some others one hundred thousand rublcs annually. We shall see, as Ivan character is unfolded, that this spoliation of the monasteries was not the only thing in which he resem- bled our own merry monarch, Henry VIII. He would send his agents into the various provinces, there to buy up at low prices the whole of some partic- ulnr commodity for which the province was noted.
 After retaining the monopoly for awhile he would sell for high rate and even compel merchants to buy at the prices he named. He followed similar course with foreign imports, creating a monopoly and forbidding others to sell their stock until he had disposed of his own. By these means he cleared two hundred thousand eubles in year.

A Yankce skipper's Cordwood.

Capt. Robbins had an experience with the peculiar taxes in Sicily, says the Portland (Me.) Press. He took over a cargo of oil from Philadelphia to Marseilles and had thirty cords of ordinary four foot firewood to pack the oil barrels with to prevent their roll ing. It is called by the sailors ''oil wood" He paid for this wood one hum dred and fifty dollarf in Philadelphia. He did not sell in Marseilles because he expected to get more for it in Trapani But the dealers there offered him only fifteen dollars for the whole of it, say ing that the enormous tax upon it would not allow them to offer more. He declared that 1he'd bring it back to America before he'd sell it at that price, and so he did, and it is here in Portland now, after travelling eight thousand miles over the ocean, and it may go three thousand more. because if he can't get decent price for it here he will take it back to England, where he is going from here with spool wood There he can get about one hundred dollars for it. England doesn't want cordwood. She has got enough coal, and less is paid for cordwood there than here
