LIFE sApED Br a DOG.
Barked Until lie Attracted the Attention
Of the Police.

Ut tne fOilcss
A little wandering, homeless, com
mon dog, dodging every one it met
on the street lest blow should be
aimed at it, used to nothing but kicks
and curses from the great animal called
man, has at last shown its worth in a
way that will assure it hereafter per-
manent home among friends, says the
Louisville Courier-Journal.
Louis Carr, a painter, was painting
the rear Of vacant house belonging to
J.. Store. in Clay street, between Green
and Jefferson streets, one day recently.
He was far up the ladder, just under
the roof, and painting vigorously to
finish up by noon. rather than go all
the way down TO move the ladder to
another place he was reaching far out
and painting. Suddenly he discovered
that tho ladder was slipping and,
having no time TO descend, he caught
the caves Of tho house with his hands.
The ladder aiippod from under his
feet and fell 10 the ground, leaving
him helpless hanging about 30 feet in
mid-air. He called loudly for help
time and again, but no one heard the
cries, and being at the rear Of the
house could not be seen.
The little dog heard him, however,
and sneaked around the house to see
what was up. He saw there was a
great deal up and began to bark loudly.
AS he would sit beneath Carr his banks
would ring out sharply for moment
and then end with long, passionate
howl. He would then run around the
house toward the Clay street police
station, which il directly across the
street. give few sharp barks there
and run again to his old position under
the dangling man, whore he would
send out his plaintive appeal more
desperately than before.
This attracted the attention of the
police, and, although not understand
ing dog language, they easily guessed
there was something wrong. Accord
ingly several of them ran over to the
house, and patrolman Frank Haffner
opened the back gate. They took 10
the situation and the ladder was soon
under the mans feet, go he descended
with safety.
Carr said that he had been hanging
from the caves for about 10 minutes,
and had not help arrived when it did
he would surely have fallen from slieel
exhaustion. He declares that he will
keep and raise the dog with care anG
Tenderness aud hereafter if any one
wants d good fight on his hands al
be will have to do will BIZ TO hit Carr

ROPES GRoT IN THE OCEAN.
A Marine Plant with Three Hunare,
Foot stem.


Philadelphia Record.
The largest marine plant, and probably
one of the highest plants known on this
globe. is IL gigantic sea-wecd, the nerco
cystis, the stem of which has been found
to grow as much us 800 feet long. 1t
was first discovered not far from the
Alaskan coast, hut has since been found
floating in various parts Of the Pacific
Ocean along the American and Asatic
shores. This seaweed grows in IL very
curious manner. Large quantities of it
are found at little distance from shore
and at depths not exceeding 300 feet.
On loamy bottom large thickcts of this
plant take root, and stem of the
thickness of ordinary cord grows upward.
At its top there is a pear-shaped balloon,
which grows with the stem, and when it
reaches the surface Of the water it often
measures six feet and more in length, with
n diameter of four and one-half feet.
This balloon has, of course, an upward
tendency, and Keeps the stem growing
until il floats on the surface of the water.
From the top of this balloon Il large tuft
of strong, thick, spadc-like leaves grow
ont, which originally are not more than
two feet long, and which grow and split
hhtl rum tht hhliobh u rDSe-lihe sroWtn
of from SO to G5 feet in diameter covers
the water. This gigantic weed grows in
such quantities that near the shore large
| meadow-like islands are formed, which
impede navigation. The natives of the
Aleutian Islands make manifold usage of
this plant. From their strong dried stems
they make ropes 30 feet and more long,
| while balloons of this weed furnish them
with large vessels after they are dried,
the smaller ones being used in their boats
to bail ont water. The long leaves, after
being dried, are cut into narrow,strips and
used for wickerwork, the making of bas.
kets and similar furniture.

much grntified. as he would come in closer
contact with the needful and the erring.
One evening he entered his private
apartment and sat down before the table.
Over 1t hung woman's picture which he
had done In his leisure moments. 1t was
an ideal face, charming in its youthful
simplicity. The brow was low and broad,
over which the hair waved loosely. The
eyes were large and sweetly grave and
the mouth seemed ready to break into
smiles. This face, stamped indelibly on
Chesterfeld's memory, was his tailsman
and guide.
A year crcpt by and no light was thrown
on Johns fate. He was thinking of him
one evening as he sat alone, his head
buried In his arms. 1t had been u long,
| irksome, unsatisfactory day and he was
| tired and weary.
Suddenly hand was laid on his Shout

debonaire and smiling as gracefully as
ever.
"McCree,' he exclaimed, starting up:

Neal exclaimed.

a portion of the year there. There was
something familiar about her face, an
intangible resemblance that | could not
explain ofunderstand. The other was hei
sister. A dear little girl, with blue eyes
and soft light hair. Her name was Juliet

When Love, our great Immortal,
Put on mortality,
Aud down from Eden's portal
Brought this sweet world to be,
AT the sublime archangel
He laughed with yelled eyes,
For he bore within his bosom
The seed of Paradise.
He hid it in his bosom.
And there such warmth it found,
1t brake in bud and blossom,
And the rose fell on the ground:
As the green light on the prairie,
AS the red light on the sea,
Through fragrant belts Of summer
Came this sweet world to be.
And the grave archangel seeing,
Spread his mighty vans for flight,
But glow hang round him fleeing
Like the rose Of an Arctic night;
