Zuna,s Clever Ruse.

''The other day I witnessed an
amusing instance of canine sagacity
worthy of commemoration in print. ]
was staying with friends who have
varied collection of Blenheim spaniel
and her five puppies, fox terrier and
two fine deerhounds. This happy fam
lily are allowed to spend part of the
day in the drawing room, and they
conform to certain rules OF boundary
lines and amicable agreement among
themselves. The hearth rug Is the
favorite 'coigne of vantage with them
all. Zuna, the deerhound, sauntered
in one morning and found every ap-
proach to the fire blocked by the
slumbering forms of her companions.
She tried gently to scratch a passage
for herself, but was repelled with
growls. So, apparently suffering from
extreme lowness of spirits, she retired
to distant corner of the room, but
not to sleep. For ten minntes she
crouched there, ponderlng silently,
then, suddenly bounding up, flew to
the window, and barked as ifan invad-
ing army were in sight. OF course
every one, human and canine, fol-
lowed in mad haste. The hearth rug
was left unocoupied, and Zuna quietly
trotted round, stretched her huge
form before the fire, and in an instant
was snoring heavily, leaving US all
staring out into vacancy-emphatical

LeprOsy OH the Increase.

"'Leprosy has been on the increase
in the United States for the past ten
years." said DR.. E. W. Munshall, of
New Orleans, at the Arlington. Every
little Is said about it, but Louisiana
has had to provide separate hospital
for them, as has California. There are
a good many cases of genuine leprosy,
and the number has been increasing
until very recently because no cure
has been known. Now, there is a cure
that l believe will prove an absolute
specific, and the reports l have re-
ceiyed from it in Mokalai, the leper
island. are such that 1 will be sur
prised if it does not practically Danish

was discovered by DR.. Goto. Japan.

it has already received royal sanction

reliable authority that cases have been

Life of a Cannon.

La Nature contains short note in
which the horse power of cannon is
calculated. An italian cannon of one
hundred tons, with charge of $50
pounds of powder and shot weighing
about two thousand pounds, will give
an initial velocity of 253 meters per
second; the length of time during
which the powder acts is less than one
hundredth of second, from which it
follows that the horse power developed
is about seventeen million. The writer
adds that after about one hundred
shots the cannon is put out of service,
and its total active life is therefore
only one secondl In large modern
cannon the horse power runs as high
as twenty-four million. If the writer
had carried out these calculations still
farther. he would have found that,
after all, this "a, 900, ,000-horse power
does not represent large amount OF
energy, as it would be just sufficient
to rum thirty-one incandescent lamps
for only one day.

Trailing Arbutus.

When skies are flecked with heecy clouds
And snowdrops star the ground,
Behold the misty April woods
With blushing beauty crowned!
In every deep and dusky glade,
In dingle's mossy gloom,
The trailing arbutus displays
The glory of its bloom.
All! would you know the legend sweet
OF how it came to glow
With such soft and rosy hue,
Though once twas like the snowf
A robin building in the oak
Beside the ruined mill
At sunset told it all to me
With many liquid trill.
One morning in the diamond dew
An angel of the spring
Went flying DER the wood and dropped
garland from her wing.
Then came maiden newly wed,
The veil upon her hair,
And pressed her cheek against the noWers
And left her bushes there.

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Truth loves to be looked in the face.
A sunbeam in the heart is bound to
light the face.
One who boasts of his honesty will
bear watching.
Fine sense is not half 30 useful as
common sense.
A covetous rich man may be said to
freeze before the fire.
He that wants the earth will be sure
10 get it when he dies.
A boy all his life is the object of
some ones suspicious.
There is nothing in mourning loss
that cannot be restored.
Many supposed giant he's turned
out to be only shadow.
Love never has to be watched to see
chat it does honest work.
Arguments are like bones with dogs,
