WHY WE LIKE DoGs.-And why do people keep such lots of dogs themselves and go in such numbers to see other peo- ple's dogs? queries Popular Science News, and then proceeds to answer. Be- cause the dog Is at once the most sincere hatterer and the most successful cheerer that the human race ever had, IA good dog always gives us the feeling that we men and women are a sort of gods. No other animal does anything of the kind. The cat treats us as an inferi. or, and the horse will treat us as dear friend, not divinity. The dog, more. over, imparts something of his peculiar gayety to us in way that Is irresistible, He mingles his suggestion of gayety with his hattery for he not only leaves his dinner untasted to walk with us, but the mere fact that we are apparently giving ourselves the pleasure of a walk raiseS him into such a delirium of delight that the sight of it puts all our dumps and blues to such reproaoh that we shake them of in very shame. And when we don't walk, but sit moodily at home, the dog curls up lovingly at our feet, and looks up now and then into our eyes, and "glides into our darker musings with a mild and healing sympathy" Yes; there Is solid reason for the. fondness of men for dogs, and 1t will never come to an end until either men or dogs become very diff ferent beings from what they are now.

Day after day, day after day, in tho
came rut till little interest rcmaina in
tho work, and tho mind and body arc
gradually robbed OF energy aud healthy

tho prolonged straln Is likely to result
in health failure; nervous symptoms
appear, cares that were once lightly

At the first email beginnings OF ncrv.

Stage OF Water and Movements of Boats.
The River Interests.
The %fcrryboat Climax 10 laid up un.
der tho Union bridge on account Of tho
ice.
The receipts at the Pittsburgh wharf
during the past year amounted to S50,-
900, more than any year since 1874.
The river remains about on a stand
still. with about five feet in the channel.
Tho ice was passing slowly yesterday
and the fears OF 4 closed river were ex-
pressed by nearly all rivermen. A
gorge has formed between tho channel
pier OF the steel bridge and tho Island
shore, which sends tho floating ice in q
straight line for the whariboat, which
Is often struck.
President James A. Henderson, OF
the Pittsburgh and Cincinnati Packc,
Company, was in tho city yesterday,
says the Cincinnati Commcrcial.Ga

tho secretary and treasurer OF the com.
pany, held a consultation with Superin-
tendent Ellison with a view OF deciding
on tho matter OF building a DOW boat to

definite was decided upon and the mat
ter was postponed until next week,
