Talking Dogs.

There are but two recorded Instances
Of dogs having been taught to articu-
late words in such manner that they
would resemble those uttered by hui
man being. The most famous of these
cases was that of the celebrated talk
ing dog of Zeitz." The owner OF this
intelligent canine, a small boy, living
at Zeitz. Saxony. imagined that his
dogs voice strongly resembled certain
words and sounds made by men.
Acting on this point, he soon trained
the animal, big Saxon mastiff, to dis
tinctly utter some twenty-odd German
words and about half n dozen from the
French language. Although the young
trainer devoted much time and patience
to the queer task, he never succeeded
i'm enlarging his pets vocabulary above
thirty words.
The rival of the famous talking dog
of Zeitz" was exhibited in Holland in
171S Besides pronouncing several
words, the Holland beast could articu-
late the names Of all the letters of the
alphabet except 81" I'm" and "n."-

Colors Used by the Ancients.

Few colors were employed beside in
digo and purple, and these were OBJ
tanned for the most part from the veg
etable kingdom; but their purity was
so great that they have kept well to
our times, after having undergone fol
centuries the action Of the air and the
sun. This fact is particularly remark
able in the Egyptian tombs; the stone
has been disintegrated by weathering
while the colors have been preserved
The color that we met most frequently
is q mixture of a reddish-brown oxide
Of iron and Gay, known under the
name of Pompeian red. This color
which has resisted for four thousand
years the sun OF Egypt and the action
of the air, is equally proof against
acids. The Egyptians reduced 1t by
rubbing between stones under water to
a degree of fineness that we cannot OBJ
tain nowadays by chemical precipita'
ton. An equally precious yellow pig,
ment, also much used, was formed OF
a natural oxide of iron mixed with
much clay, chalk and water, and brown
ed by the action Of the heat; the mix.
ture Of the two colors gives orange. For
this yellow color, gold bronze or gold
leaf was also employed. For blue, they
used a glass colored with copper min.
erals; this pigment was not less perma'
nent than the preceding, even acids
having very little effect upon it. The
artists regarded their colors as imper,
ishable.

The illuminate of Mercury

A popularity of illuminate Of mercury
is that 1t produces shock to which all
other substances are sensitive, and its
supreme value as an explosive rests in
this fact, and in the known liability
Of all explosives to be detonated by
more or less distant explosions. There
is current Of sympathetic influences
In these terrible chemical compositions
that is as strange as 1t is dangerous.
What Is required to produce explosion
is the rapid generation Of great heat
along with large quantities of oxygen.
In gunpowder, for instance, the nitrate
of potash-saltpetre- which is the chief
Ingredient, Is practically imprisoned
oxygen, and when 1t is decomposed
along with charcoal an immense heat
Is developed, which causes the gases
to expand suddenly-hence explosion.

A Nation of whistlers.

We Americans are probably the
greatest whistlers In the world. There
are apparently two reasons for this.
One Is that we are the most nervous OF
people-we have got to be doing some
thing, we can't go down stolidly at our
work like Europeans or sit silent and
contemplative, so we work of our
fidgets with whistling. The other rea-
son Is that we are really a cheerful and
expressive people, in spite of all that
has ever been said to the contrary.
The national whistling habit has re-
suited in the production of a great num-
Der of really skillful and musical whist
lers. With one consideration and an
other, there Is a tremendous amount of
whistling. 1t seems cheerful, and
sometimes, to the whistler, 1t Is really
cheerful; but only to the whistler;
that's the trouble; a man may work of
his own nervousness in this way, but
he infiicts 1t on all who hear him; for
an ordinary whistler's performance
gives absolutely no pleasure to any one
but himself.

some Ex planstion Of Our csrIous Ex'
periences While sleeping.
The causes and classification Of
dreams Is q subject that. although It
has been discussed from time imme-
mortal, seems to be as little under
stood, beyond certain point, as 1t was
ages ago. At the hypnotic congress,
held In Paris recently, much time was
spent in considering this question, and
though some interesting theories were
brought forth the sayants were but lit
tie wiser when the discussion ended
than when 1t began. "a.
A compatriot of Ibsen, DR.. Mourley
Void, professor Of the University OF
Christian.a, gave the result of numer-
Gus experiments made upon himself
and others who had lent themselves TO
the cause OF science In trying to ascer-
tain the dividing line between the role
played In dreams by the cutaneous and
muscular senses and between the true
images Of the day and the phantoms of
the night.
You rarely dream, this savant says,
that you are lying down, but generally
that you are standing or sitting in q
way corresponding to the position Of
the member which makes its impress.
sion upon the mind. For example, II
one dreams that he Is standing on tip
toe, it will be found that his toes are
pressing hard against the footboard Of
the bed. Dreams Of walking, running,
dancing and the like are always pro
duced by the position Of the feet.
| Another of this doctors theories 10
that when we dream our minds to a
certain extent become as they were
when we were children. In support of
this he says that when dreamer with
half-awakened sense sees his hand be-
fore him he instlnctively begins to
count his fingers. This Is because the
dormant senses reduces the sleeper
mind to childish state Of feebleness,
and 1t Is in infancy that our first les
sons in computation begin upon our
| fingers.
The visual impressions Of the day
form another class Of dreams. DIR.
Mourley Void Is Of the opinion that
happy days are followed by pleasant
dreams, and vice versa. Everyone
knows, however, that this is not always
the case.
At the conclusion of the learned Nor
wegian's address one Of the Oldest OF

KILLED HIS HANGMAN.
An Executed Murderer Revives and
Has His Revenge.

mas Ills Revenge.
Everybody remembers when the
great Texas murderer, Dick Masters,
was hanged" said e. NJ. Cary, of Wa
co, at the Centropolis, "but the strange
death of Sheriff Winters, who sprung
the trap, has been kept out of the pa
pers. After Masters body was cut
down, the county physician pronounced
the murderer dead, the sheriff ordered
four deputies to carry the body to his
private laboratory, where the sheriff
used to pursue his medical experiments
alone. He was bound to dissect the
powerful, well-developed body Of Mas
tiers, so he shut himself up with the
corpse and went to work.
"The sheriff moved about briskly,
making great clatter with his instru-
ments. Several times he went to the
windows and peered out, but the neigh
borhood was deserted. He soon dis
covered that the drop on the scaffold
had not broken Masters neck, and the
sheriff thought that was fortunate, as
he always had experimental on the
restoration of life whenever opportu-
nifty afforded. He laid down his in
struments and began to try to restore
life. The evening shadows drifted into
night. 1t was a noisy town. and the
shouts and laughter Of jewellers could
be heard everywhere. Several times
the crowds passing the sheriff's room
thought they heard the sounds of scuf-
fling, and more than once a muffled
shout was heard. But the pleasure
seekers on the streets passed along
without giving thought to this.
''On the following day Sheriff Win
tiers failed to appear at his Office. No
body had seen him since he locked him
self in the laboratory with Masters
body. Finally the mayor Of the town
and several deputy sheriffs went to
the laboratory, but rapping at the door
nor shouts would bring any answer.
Then they broke open the door. The
sight before them nearly turned their
hair gray. The room was a total wreck.
The furniture was strewn about the
room, smashed to pieces, and every
thing bore evidence Of terrible strug-
gle. Sheriff Winters lay on the floor,
dead, and the marks about his throat
showed he had been strangled. A few
feet away lay the dead body Of the
murderer, Masters. The faces and the
garments Of both men bore evidence
Of hard fight. The only conclusion
that could be arrived at was that Mas
ters had revived, and on regaining con-
sciousness and strength he had attack
ed the sheriff and succeeded In killing
him before he died himself. All this
happened in the jail of Rio Grande
County."-Kansas City Times.

The Turk in his home lives In a sort
of mental and bodily stupor. He does
not read much, but, curled on a divan
and smoking cigarettes, he looks out of
his windows and dreams. If you call
you are most cordially received, and
cigarettes, coffee, preserves and cakes
are served. Your talk has no flash, no
body has read any vital news, nobody
is original; everybody, with an over
towering civility Of phraseology, con-
verses as though all used the same
manual of conversation. If dinner is
served 1t comes In metal dishes on a
large tray. Neither knives nor forks
are commonly supplied. Put only the
right hand into the dish. When the
repast is over ablutions follow at a
marble fountain in another apartment.
Mutton and chicken are the chief
meats. The Turk makes many an APP
petizing dish. He is an artist in cook
ing vegetables, and equally as great In
preparing sweets.

nationalities are mixed in a confusing
way. Only half the population is Turk

Jewish and European. 1t is all jum-
ble of colonies. in juxtaposltion the one

Fr The Peasant Turk.
The Turk is majestic. He admits only
four vocation fit for him-rhat Of a
government officer. soldier priest
and an agriculturist. He is just enough
OF an agriculturist to raise in each in
stance for himself, leaving his empire

gary and Russia.
The Turk OF the country-the peas
ant, the farmer-whom power has not
corrupted nor oppression debased, is
said to be good deal OF a man, an up.
right man. His sobriety is proverbial,
for he lives on black bread and cold
water. He knows nothing of the dram
shop. He is clean in his habits, and
yet he lives in what amounts to a hole
In the ground, without furniture or
windows. Generally speaking, he
takes but one wife, and If he takes
second he treats her kindly and adores
his children. His kindness to animals
Is beyond praise. He is generous, rare
ly refusing aims; he is hospitality itself.
