Dog That Kept Flock Together 70,
Two Years.

A dog in New Mexico, returning one
evening with his sheep to the fold,
discovered that his master was still
in his shanty and kept very quiet, says
the Christian at Work. The next even
ing it was the same. But after pen
ming up the sheep the dog smelled about
the door, scratched. barked, and even
howled, as he was getting very hungry.
But his master did not move. The dog,
true to his appointed duty, went out
with the sheep on the third day, but
that night when he drove the flock into
their pen, the last one to attempt to
get In became the victim of the dogs
appetite. This method of providing for
his own wants became a part of the
faithful dogs daily duty. Every even
ing the last sheep to try to enter the
fold was seized by him and served for
supper, and breakfast, and dinner the
following day. The ranch to which the
dog belonged was in a solitary part
Of the territory, and out of the track
of travel or visitation.
For two years from the time of
the masters death, as ascertained by
data left by the latter, the faithful
dog attended the flock committed to
his charge, and had fresh mutton for
his supper every night. The flock was
not decimated by this steady drain
upon its resources. On the contrary, it
increased in numbers, and when, at
the end of two years from the time
of the death of the proprietor, the ranch
was visited and the remains of the own
er were found, the dog was still at his
post of duty, jealousy guarding his
flock and driving them to the best pas
lures every day and to the fold at
night, before which he slept to keep
the wild sheep-eaters of the plains
Mt safe distance.

THE SPOTS ON THE SUN.
What the Scientists Think About TheiI
Influence on Our Weather.

The vexed question of the influence or
sun-spots on the weather seems to be
as far from settlement to-day as it was
ten or twenty years ago, says the
Youths Companion. So great an au-
thority as Lord Kelvin has recently eX-
pressed a doubt as to whether the CO.
medicines noticed by students of this
subject are not, after all, deceptive and
misleading. Other investigators, how
ever, continue to think that real con-
nection exists between the spottedness
of the sun and the condition of the
weather on the earth.
Among the latest contributions to
our knowledge on the subject are those
made by Mr.. w. L. Dallas, who has in
vestigated the weather records kept
from 1856 to 1879 on board ships in the
Bay of Bengal, and by DR.. p. Polls, who
has reviewed the records of Ga years
at Aix-la-Chappelle. Mr.. Dallas con-
cludes that, as far as the Bay of Bengal
is concerned, the heat is greatest when
sun-spots are most numerous. DR..
Polls, on the other hand, finds that at
Aix-la Chappelle the warmest seasons
formerly conceded with the smallest
number of sun-spots, but that since
1878 change has apparently occurred
and now it is hottest when the sun is
most spotted. DIR. Polls also finds that
the number of thunder storms gener-
ally increases with q decrease of the
sun-spots.
These facts and differences are partic-
ularly interesting just now, because
from this time on we are likely to sec
the sun-spots rapidly decreasing in size
and number for several wears to come.

The War Clouds.

Not in years have so many menac-
ing war clouds in the heavens OF
international politics obscured the
rays of the sun of universal peace, as
have hung heavily over the world
during the past few weeks. The
Armenian atrocities, with the pros
pective interference of the powers in
behalf of the prosecuted sufferers;
the insurrection in Cuba, which bids
fair to grow into the full dignity of a
revolution; the Venezuelan contro-
versy, with its ugly threatening to
embroil the United States in war
with England and possibly to draw
other great nations into the contest;
the trouble in the Transvaal, where
the sturdy Beers are so stubbornly
defending their political liberties
against British interference; the
probable recurrence of the Haytien
revolution; Emperor Williams saucy
challenge to Salisbury; the disagree
ment over the Alaskan boundary;
these international differences, all
following so close upon the heels of
the Chinese-Japanese war in the
East, indicate ar alarming state of un-
easiness and unrest among the nations
and lead one to think that the time
of perpetual peace is not yet here.
War is in the air, and it seems with
in the range of probabilities that
Europe will be shaken within the
next few months. The advance in
methods of warfare and the improve
ments in arms and equipments are
not fully realized, and war will be
necessary to awaken the world to all
the horrible possibilities of modern
warfare. a single exemplifcation
Of it, however, should be sufficient to
ripen the time for compulsory
submission of all international con-
troversies to an international court of
arbitration. Talk tending in this
direction, in the American congress,
is right. The United States, the
nation whose name is the synonym
for the greatest civil liberties, should
lead the world toward international
agreement for their mutual govern
ment, just as it is in the advance of
the whole world in the matter Of
national government.

Shops That Shut Down For the First Time
In Their History.
Hardly a day passes but the Amer
ican people are sadly reminded of the
fact that q free trade administration
still reigns over our country, and that
the free trade plot to ruin the industries
Of the United States still drives manu-
facturers, farmers and labor down the
road that surely leads to poverty and
financial embarrassment.
A most remarkable result of the de-
tration is shown in the following ex-
tract taken from tariff reform. daily
paper:
"Today, for the first time in the his
tory Of the britannia shop, the principal
departments shut down on q Saturday
toward the latter part of November, a
time that is always recognized as the
busiest month in the year.

departments are running today, but the
most of the employees are taking day 8
vacation.
Even the f1atware furnishing room

next Work is also slack in the other
silver factories, and the Oldest employees
are conjecturing as to the causes for this
state of affairs -
The Meriden Britannia company is
we'll known throughout the country as
one of the oldest, as we'll as the largest
concerns engaged in the manufacture of
silver plated wares, and its fiatware
branch has been a large and important
part of its trade.
The fiatware has always been consid-
cred a staple" Knives, forks and
spoons are necessary articles in every
household and cannot be regarded as
luxuries, and when people cannot afford
to buy them it looks as though the
times were so bad, and the people so
poor, that folks were obliged TO use
their fingers in place of forks. The
Cleveland paper says that the Oldest
employees are conjecturing as to the
causes for this state of affairs. - This is
wrong. They are through with "conjec-
turing" They know what ails the coun-
try. They are intelligent men and are
very we'll aware that the Democratic
free trade administration has robbed
them of their work by destroying Amer
ican industries.

The workings Of the German Wilson
tariff continue to disturb business In
this section. Merchants report consid-
erable falling off in their sales from
those Of last year, which has been rather
discouraging to them. The lumber bust
ness is dull, Canadian competition hav-
ing nearly ruined it. One Of the largest
manufacturers Of lumber has announced
his determination not to purchase logs
this winter, which will be heavy blow
to timber owners in this region, as it
deprives many of our farmers Of the
means to obtain ready cash as heretofore.
This town also possesses one OF the
largest sole leather tanneries in the
state, which in a few weeks will close
its doors for an indefinite period, thus
throwing out of employment l25 men.
The cause of this suspension is claimed
to be overproduction, but what has been
the cause of overproduction? Never in
the history of the tanning business in
this town has there been any difficulty
in marketing the leather produced in
our tannery until the Democratic party

tration of the financial policies of the
nation. This blow will fall heavier on
business than any other, as it was the
chief industry here, and will reduce
nearly every employee to idleness.
The triumph of the Republican party
on Nov. B tended to enliven business in
every circle wherein foreign competition
does not come, but where our business
men find the cheaper products of Canada
and the old world coming into competi-
tion with our home products there are
stagnation and loss and always will be
until the grand triumph of the Repub-
lican protection party in 1896 shall
sweep out of existence the last vestige
of the Democratic free trade business

the time when this nation shall be

cratic party in every branch of govern

Able Liszt.

Franz Won Liszt was a great pianist,
perhaps the greatest pianist ever known.
He was born in Hungary in 1911, and
made his first appearance in public in
1920. He studied in various places for
a few years, but was continually giving
concerts, so that publicity became his
chief instructor. In 1927 his father
died and he became teacher of the
pianoforte. Between 1885 and 1847 he
travelled all over Europe; in 1847 he
became hof kapelmeister Cor director
Of the royal concerts) at Weimar; in
1851 he went to Rome, and from 1870
he lived in Rome. Pest and Weimar.
He died at Baireuth, Bavaria, July 81,

in 1865. The title was honorary, but
Liszt received the tonsure and wore
thereafter clerical garments, though he
gave concerts, taught as before and fol-
lowed his previous manner Of life.

Without a Shadow.

The most famous man without a
shadow" was Peter Schlemihl, the hero
of a story of the same name by Adelbert
Won Chaisso, German novelist. Peter
sold his shadow to little man in gray
who proved to be the devil. The con-
tract was disastrous, and Peter Schlemihl
is name given nowadays to any one
who makes a bad bargain. But others
than Schlemihl have lost their shadows.
In the Lay of the Last Minstrel Lady
Buccleugh's father is mentioned in
passing as having lost his shadow to the
devil when he studied the black art. In
fact, all who studied magic were be-
lieved to sell their shadows to satan.
