THEIR FOSTER FATHER.
How a Dog Looked After a Brood of
Young Chickens.

As he story goes, the mistress of a
dog is also the keeper Of hens. One OF
these was setting up a ''clutch'' of
thirteen eggs, and Don, the black-and-
tan, soon became very curious to know
why she stayed in the barn so closely.
The dog. as it appears, had formerly
been given to teasing the hen, snatching
her food away from her, and otherwise
making himself a torment; but this in
%tercourse had gradually turned into
friendship, n the two would some
times be seen lying and squatting side by
back porch.
During the three weeks that the hen
sat on her eggs Don used to pay daily
VISITS to the barn, and sometimes he
would stay with her by the half hour.
Then the chicks came put of their
shells. Don was intensely interested. All
day long he scarcely left the barn. The
next morning when the hen stepped off
the nest and with a c1uck called her
brood after her Don followed.
The hen fell to scratching, and the
fluffy chicks darted hither and thither.
picking up the tidbits which the mother
had uncovered.
Good said Don to himself. 81 can
help in this business and to the terror of
the chickens he ran in among them and
began turning up the soil at a lively rate.
Then he sat down and waited.
The mother hen called back the chicks
they picked 1t clean. Then the dog took
another turn. And so the good work pro-
ceeded, to the great delight of all parties.

Samuel Barnitt, a young man Of 20 years

Der is in the ten-mile road race of the Iro-
quois Wheelmen, which was held yester-
day on the Boulevard, broke the fork Of
his wheel while nearing Charles street
towards the finish of the race, and had a
bad fall from which he received fatal in

irving there.
He sustained a conclusion of the brain
and was badly cut about the head. blood
flowing freely from his ears, nose and
mouth. His left eye was closed and
swollen to the size of a small apple. The
ambulance surgeon upon examining him
said the eyeball was tut, and if he had
lived the sight would have been entirely
destroyed.

bicycle store at No. 465 Boulevard where
he was attended by friends while waiting

SEEING THE FUTURE

A so-called magician in London has been
coming money lately by showing people
pictures of their future life. One strong
man saw himself depicted as an aged.
worn-out wreck Of humanity, broken
down with care. A woman in robust
health saw herself transformed into a
gloomy invalid. There was a trick about
It, of course, but every visitor went away
feeling heavy hearted and respondent.
There are thousands of men and women
today who would be filled with similar
terror if they could only see the future
in store for them unless they do some
thing at once to prevent it. They are ner-
vous, weak, tired, languid, exhausted in
nerve power and physical strength. They
are sleepless, and awaken tired and unre-
freshed, without energy for the days
work.
When people get to feeling like this it
plainly shows that their systems are bad
ly run down. These symptoms are the
sure signs of malaria, of debility, and the
best a TO get rid of them Is to. take
q pure, medicinal stinu1ant which will
pufld up the strength. The best stimtilant
is pure Whiskey, but it must be absolute
" pure, and there is only one whiskey-
Dufy's pure ~malt-which fully nswer
TINS description. This whiskey drives u
malaria, n builds up the whole sys-
tenn. 1t makes weak, weary people strong
ana we'll. All grocers and druggists keep
Duffy's pure malt whiskey. There Is no
otner whfskey k Duffy's. and nothing
else that can possibly take it's place..

A CANDIDATE INJURED.
James Dufy Thrown From

C10s
James Duffy. the Democratic candidate
for Freeholder of East Newark, met with
a serious accident this evening. He was
makinga tour of the polls in a cab, n
while going up Davis avenue the cab
overturned, throwing the candidate
through one of the cab windows
crushing him between the cab and the
ground. The flying glass and the splin-
tered fragments of the coach severely cut
the unfortunate mar about the head and
arms and body. Several of his front
teeth were knocked out. As far as could
be learned no bones were broken.
The accident occurred in front of the
new school building in course of erection
on Davis avenue. A deep trench, sub
sequent to the laying of the sewer pipes,
and the driver says that 1t was not guard
ed in any way. He jumped from the
coach in time to escape injury.
Duffy was removed to his home on
Third street. where it was reported that
his condition was not considered serious.
Albert Volk, of Kearny avenue, a bar
tender employed by Jacob Burg, was chal-
lenged while voting in the Third ward
of Kearny yesterday afternoon. Volk
tbereupon became enraged and threat
ened to blow Mulligan's brains out. at
the same time reaching to his hind
pocket as If to draw a weapon Mulligan
lodged and the election officers scattered
in all directions.
An officer was summoned and volk was
arrested and taken TO the town police
station. He Vas searched in a cautious
manner while the officers in charge held
their breath. Their fears were allayed,
however, when the pocket was found to
contain only a purse.
He was paroled to appear this morning.

PAIN AND FISHES.
Experience Seems to Justify the
Claim That They DO Not uffer.

SoOAAH uG%1 ~
Claim That They Do Not suffer.
All fishes Ia nerves, and in some re-
spects fishes are extremely sensitive. A
fish that has buried itself in sand or mud
so completely that only the tip of it's tail
fin is above the bottom will feel upon
that the slightest touch and Instantly
dart out of its sandy bed. A fish is very
sensitive to movements in the water sur
rounding it. A shadow falling upon the
water will startle a fish into flight. But
sensitive as fishes are in some respects,
it is probable that they do not suffer pain
from injuries received, says the New
York SUM-"
Fishes are extremely sensitive at the
nose. A fish that had in pursuit of prey
run Its nose against a rock might shake
ITS head violently, perhaps in pain but
fishes sustain serious injuries from actual
wounds without showing any Indication
of pain. In fact the Indications tend
to show that they do not suffer.
A fish that has been hooked by an ang-
Ter, but has escaped, perhaps carrying off
a nook in its mouth, may a few minutes
afterward bite again a. another hook.
such instances are not f~nfrequent. In
such cases the hook would probably be
concealed by the bait and the fish would
not be likely to see It, but the fact that

fering great pain. A shark from who's
body all the viscera had been removed
has continued to feed.
Sensitive as fishes are about the nose
many of them use the nose in pushing
stones and gravel about in building a
nest for the female to spawn in. The
salmon VIGOROUSLY often wears its snout
down to the bone in ~excavating a cavity
for a nest, and often wears off its tail
to a mere stub in brushing out stones
and gravel. Yet such fishes frequently
recover from their injuries and return to
the ocean.
