The waiter wandered off to the kitch-
Ell and held an animated conversation
with the cook. Pretty soon he came
back and put a plate of dark-red meat
in front of the customer and began to
pay close attention to the electric fan.
The customer turned the meat over
curiously with his fork. He inspect

The Valiant Hear.

One Of the sorest evils with which
man or woman can be afflicted is de-
spondency. 1t curtails the powers Of re-
sistance to the evils that threates, and
sistance to the evils that threates. and
magniflss the foes that assail. 1t pre-
sents a yielding soil to the seeds from
which proceed half Of ths smaller
evils that assail mankind. A hopeless
soul Is the n most open to the wiles
Of the destroyer, and 1t is in the depths
Of dependency that the final traces
Of manhood asd womanhood are
thrown away to complete misfortunos
that have gone before. There is Mt
such times everything in maintain
ing n bold front. Misfortunes them
selves scampcr away before n valiant
heart, literally as we'll as q hound
will down before q determined eye.
There have been many instances in his
tory where nothing but the pretense
of q power that was not actual has
compelled terms in-battle which could
not otherwise have been obtained,
and the wholesome result solely OF
the maintaining of a bold heart has
been celebrated in prose and verse
under the familiar story Of Robert
Bruce and the spider:-Domssttc

Using Loce~ot,ve. to Lay Pipes.

Va1u8 A.OcOMOt1vee to Lay Pipes.
A great engineering scheme made a
start toward success here to-day. The
plan is to lay IN S-inch iron pipe under
the Detroit river to bring natural gas
from Canada to this city. On the
American side ut a trench runnig
down to the river.
This was lined with a wooden trough
fabricated with soft soap. In the
trough lay the main. At. the river end
of the main was Il conical plug design
ed to keep the water out and serve
as Il sort of p%iOwshare for turning
aside the soft mud Of the river bottom
tor the main as it is hauled across.
Attached to the end of the cone was
the great steel cable which had been
strung r the bottom of the river.
On the opposite side of the river was a
huge snatch block, through which ran
the other end of the cable, and was
then attached to three locomotives.
by mean of tug whistles the sig.
nal for the locomotives to start was
made. 1t tool but n moment to hide
400 feet of 1t In the river. This after
noon a second section of 500 feet was
attached and the engines again start

they stuck.
Another one was then brought into
play, and the four moved along nicely.

Tn. British Museum Cat.

One of the best known and most
popular domestic pets in London Is the
British museum cat. 1t is just about
twelve months ago since the animal
which had apparently strayed from
somewhere. attached itself to the por.
ter's quarters, facing Great Russell
street. Being a large gray, beautifully
marked cat, be was encouraged to re-
main instead Of being unceremoniously
driven of, as assuredly would have
been his fate had he been possessed OF
fewer personal attractions.
Lately the cat has considerably ex-
tended the sphere Of his rambles. He
occasionally invades the reading room,
where he receives the attention Of q
stroking from even the most reserved
and studious habitues. At nights the
animal parades the galleries, and by
an odd fancy seems to prefer the Egyp-
tian room, where so many embalmed
sanctifed specimens Of his tribe are
exhibited.-London Letter.

A Noble Dog.-A dog belonging to q
channels hunter, being on the glaciers
in Switzerland with an Englishman
and his master, observed the former
approaching one Of the crevices In the
ice to look into it. He began to slide
toward the edge; his guide, with a view
to save him, caught his coat, and both
slid onward, till the dog seized his mas
ter's clothes, and preserved them both
from inevitable death.
A Serious Dog.-A London dog was
accustomed to 60 almost daily with q
penny in his mouth to the bakers and
buy q roll for his breakfast. One day
the bakers man, in a Joke. gave him a
roll Just out of the oven; but Rover did
not like hot rolls. so he instantly drop

baker! He never went back to that

The Horse. Power Of Scent.

There is one perception which a horse
possesses to which little attention has
been paid, says TAFT, and that is the
power Of scent. With some horses 1t il
acute, al with the dog; and for the
benefit of those who drive at night,
such as physicians and others, this
knowledge is invaluable. I never knew
1t to fail, and l have ridden hundreds
Of miles Of dark nights, and in con
sideration of this power Of scent this
is my simple advice: Never check your
horse ut night, but give him a free
head, and you may rest assured that he
will never get of the road, and he
will carry you safe and expeditiously.
In regard to the power of scent in q
horse, I once knew one of a pair that
was stolen and recovered mainly by the
track being made out by his mate
and that after he had been absent SIX
or eight hours.

Eloquence interrupted.

During a political campaign a we'll
known lawyer in a western state was
addressing an audience composed prin-
cipally of farmers. Like a wise
speaker-and a shrewd candidate-he
tried to suit his speech to the occa-
sion.
In a tone which he evidently con.
sidered both cordial and honest, and
with a winning smile, he began:
my friends, my sympathies have
always been with the tillers of the soil.
My father was a practical farmer, and
so was my grandfather before him.
I myself, was born on a farm, and was
SO to speak, reared between two stalks
of corn"
Here his eloquence was rudely inter-
rupted by the trumpet tones of a
farmer in the a of the hall.

A cor,lla.s vermif,rm Ann.nd,x,

Tho giant gorilla. Gumbo. brought to
this city from Lisbon some time ago
and placed Oh exhibition, died about a
fortnight ago, and his body was turned
ever to three professors of the Harvard
medical school for dissection. The au-
topsy showed that the beast died of
tuberculosis, or Consumption the
spleen. kidneys and liver exhibiting
the effects of the disease as we'll as
the lungs. The brain was small, weigh
ing only II ounces, or about one-third
that of a man. The temporal muscles,
by which the lower jaw is moved, were
six times the size of the corresponding
muscles in man. The muscles of the
spinal column and chest were remarka-
bly, large. Gumbo had a vermiform
appendix ten inches in length, whereas
In tue human species 1t rarely measures
more than three. His height was 5 feet
6 inches, his weight was 16S pounds,
but these figures give no idea of his
muscular strength. His arms were
three feet long, and the hand measured
nearly a foot more. The muscles Of the
arm in texture reSembled wire rope.
The most surprising discovery, how
ever, was u sort of pouch or bag in the
chest, in front of the lungs, and CON
nected by means Of an independent
valve with the trachea. or windpipe.
1t was by u of this hitherto un-
known organ that the gorilla was able
to omit his peculiar shrieks and roars.
Gumbo's brain will be studied more
carefully by the aid of the microscope.
