THE DOG THIEF.

His First Trick Is to Make the DoA
Afraid of His Name.
Necessity, however, is the mother of
invention. A modern dog steale1
adopts the following tactics: He sees
a thoroughbred dog and decides to steal
him. But first he must find out the ami
mails name, and under no circum.
stances will he steal him until he has
found it out. Having secured the ami
NAL, he ties him in room and calls
him by his name several times day.
The dog, hearing the name, raises hie
head and wags his tail, but instead of
the expected caress he receives show
er Of blows from his brutal new owner.
After he has been treated this way sew
eral times he naturally conceives an
insurmountable repulsion for his own
name, and as soon as he hears it he is
sure to sneak off with his tail between
his legs.
There was much talk some time ago
about a case Of fraud in which an adul-
terated, or dyed dog played a promi.
nent part Some young sportsmen:
members of an amateur club, had ar
ranged to hold a coursing match at
Leva1lois Perret. Among the grey
hounds entered was one which at once
attracted the attention of veteran
sportsman. He fancied that he had
seen the dog before, and a few mo-
ments' examination convinced him that
the animal was a celebrated greyhound
that had won several matches. And
yet he was puzzled, for the color was
not the same. Suddenly happy idea
struck him. He insisted that the dog
should be washed before the race was
run. With equal insistance the owner
Of the dog refused to do so. "There is
no rule in our society,"" he said, (which
calls for a proceeding Of this kind"
The other members of the club then be.
came suspicious and the result was
that the dog was washed and actually
proved to be the "crack" greyhound,
whose name and fame were known
throughout Europe, and whose en-
trance as competitor in an amateur
match was manifestly a fraudulent
breach Of the club rules. By the use of
a stain or dye he had been deity trans.
formed into an apparently new dog,
and had not the veteran sportsman
recognized him he would assuredly
have won all the prizes.-New York

A Singing Mouse.

A good deal Of skepticism prevails
among the ignorant as to the fact of
there being singing mice; but having
kept such songster for four years, I
am in position to speak with author

the surface and handed over to me.
Thus commenced an acquaintance
which soon ripened into intimacy, and
which was only terminated by her
death. There was no doubt about her
song; a pretty, bird-like MARBLE, ris-
ing and falling alternately, and of suf-
ficient power to carry from the top to
the bottom of the house when al was
quiet. In appearance she was just an
ordinary house mouse, with the usual
well-groomed coat, the usual cascade
Of whiskers, the usual beady black
eyes, and an elegant tapering tail, like
the rest of her tribe. It was her song
alone which singled her out from the
dumb millions of her fellows, and this
song she poured out almost without
irtermission during her waking hours.

been exercised over this matter, and
some have thought that bronchitis, by
narrowing the air passages, produces
noisy wheeling, which enthusiastic
admirers have dignifed as song. 9th
ers, with greater probability, have sug-
gested that every mouse is a singing
mouse, but that on account of the dull
ness of our ears we only hear the
bass-voiced vocalists, while the shriller
melodies Of the great majority are I'M
noticed. Every one knows that the
squeak of bat is not heard by every
one, and that one party in a converse
ton on country walk may be almost
deafened by chorus Of bats while the
other may hear nothing of the noise.
Certain it is that dissection reveals
nothing abnormal in the vocal appa-
ratus of the singing mouse, and doubt
less a very slight difference in the
quality of the vocal cords would re-
suit in a mouse with voice sufficient
ly bass to bring the sound within the
compass of our hearing powers.-St.

l Lady Takes an Unusual Course
IIndo1. Erxinor CI.ou.a4.-

"A Lady Takes IN Unusual Course
Under Trying Circumstances.
In st. Paul recently lady was sud-
denly awakened in the night with the
consciousness that somebody was
prowling about her room. She soon be-
came convinced that it was burglar.
Her husband was sleeping by her side,
and she knew that his clothing and
jewelry, the latter valued at over $7OO,
would probably fall into the hands Of
the thief. But she kept perfectly quiet
and permitted the fellow to take what
he could and depart, preferring the
loss Of the money and jewels to the
risk Of having her husband shot, as he
probably would have been had he been
awakened. .~5~
There is no record Of the husbands
remarks on the discovery of what had
happened, but cold, common-sense
view Of the case will commend the
lady's conduct. It might have seemed
more heroic, perhaps, for her to make
fuss, rush for the intruder and wake
her husband out Of sound sleep to
find himself confronted by an armed
and desperate man; but she coolly
weighed the merits Of the two courses
opened to her and preferred to keep

ETIQUETTE OF AFRICAN KINGS.

Travellers on the Dark Continent Should
Court the Favor of Dignitaries.
In African travel it is always wise
20 visit the biggest chief in any part
Of the country. One can always learn
from other chiefs at a distance who
they are and something of their charac-
ter. In approaching them always send
word OF your coming, and get, if posi-
Die, information in advance of the feel
ing OF the chief toward the whites.
Upon nearing the village send on ahead
TO announce your arrival, and wait un-
I'll your messenger returns with some
OF the villagers to escort you to their
chief. Greet the chief civilly and ask
him to send one of his people to show
you a good place for your tent, if you
decide to camp in the village, which I
hove done invariably in this country,
though it is not always advisable in
every part of central Africa. When
you have rested the chief will come to
see you. Then state to him your bust
ness, talk frankly with him and ex-
plain plainly your needs, whether you
want guides or to buy food.
I seldom stayed in place more than
one day, and generally the first night
called the chief privately into my tent,
had long talk with him and gave him
present, consisting generally of good
cloth, four yards of Americana, four Of
wide blue, four of narrow calico and
about an egg cupful of beads, and
sometimes an empty bottle or two. In
Varlably I received next day the CO.
operation OF the chief in every way and
also big goat or sheep or bullock, and
fifty or sixty pounds of flour. Some
times l gave a small additional present
before leaving. If the chief took
fancy to any particular thing and I
could spare it I did so. Sometimes one
wanted sheath knife and another
hat. Old Kambuidi was determined
matches and needles, which I gave
him; and as I had previously given
him cloth I suggested, as a feeble sort
OF joke, that, as he now had cloth
and sewing materials and light, he
might sit up at night and make shirt.
Immediately the old fellow replied: "It
is the candle is interfering with my
success. Here, take back the candle
and give me the Shirt I finally
yielded and gave him a much-patchei
garment, which satisfied him.

Language Failed.

A costermonger, while trundling his
apple-laden cart down a London street,
was run into by a coaching party. The
coster's cart got the worst of it, losing
a wheel and its ruddy freight being
scattered all over the street. The driY-
er Of the coach came back to settle for
the damage, and expected to come in
for a volley Of choice cursing. But the
coster looked at his cart, looked at his
apples, looked at the coach, and finally
gasped out: ''Guv'ner, dere event no

A considerable number of exhibitors
prepare their designs with no thought or
desire or winning prizes, often dellber-
ately neglectlng to make formal entry upon
the list. 1t is frequently the case that
single horsemen or exhibitors in classes
commanding but $50 prize spend hum
dreds OF dollars for costumes and decora-
tions. A single horseman has used 10000
carnations, the most of them imported
from the famous pink gardens OF Coro-

Yet the average exhibitor makes liberal
expenditure OF time and money as con-
tribution to this lovely spectacle, drawing
upon limited exchequer, and 1t is fitting
that some substantial recompe should

III Judge Reynolds court this afternoon.
The citation and service could not be
found, having mysteriously disappeared.
NJ. C. Hassett and II. Y. Morehouse, who
were present as the legal repre- sentatives
of George Barron, contendeo that the loss
of the papers shut McKinstry out. as now
he had nothing TO move on. Mckinstry
claimed that the motion could be made
just as well on a copy of the original cita-
tion and service.
M. c. Hassert then presented an aft
davit to the effect that the board of direc-
tors of the Protestant Orphan Asylum had
not authorized J. G. McKinstry to appear
as the attorney of the institution, and
moved that the court set aside his motion.
The question was submitted to Judge Rey-
nolds without argument or McKinstry's s
part. In passing upon the point raised
the court held that an opposing attorney
had no right to question the authority of
another attorney in the case. If Mr.. Nc
Kinstry was appearing without authority
he would be subject to punishment for
contempt. The motion of Mr.. Hassett was
therefore denied.
Attorney McKinstry stated that he
wished to present counter affidavits and
asked leave to withdraw his submission of
the question. The request was granted
and Judge Reynolds continued all matters
until next Monday.

7ANGERMAN is IN Town.
Saws the Action of the Miners
Union Was Wholly Un
provoked.
Hale & Norcross Directors Determine
to Take Action Toward Protec.
tion of the Property.

III. W. Tangerman, superintendent OF
the Hale & Norcross mine, whose eviction
by the members of the Miners Union has
attracted wide attention, arrived in the
City yesterday in company with President
Jere Lynch OF the company.
President Lynch was considerably
wrought up oyer the affair, but declined
to discuss it further than to say that the
company will take care of the mine.
Superintendent Tangerman did not look
at all worried over his experience or the
result OF 1T. He said that during his alb
sence there is no foreman in the mine and
only an acting superintendent. He said:
81 have never broken any rule fixed by
the Miners Union, and their treatment of
me was wholly unprovoked"
At meeting of the directors, held yes
terday afternoon, it was determined to
seek legal advice and to take such measures
as shall secure the supremacy of the rights
of the stockholders.
Jere Lynch, president of the Hale &
Norcross Mining Company, left Virginia
City Saturday and arrived in San Fran
cisco yesterday forenoon.
He was seen at the Bohemian Club last
evening in company with A. Krause, one OF
the directors OF the company. President
Lynch apologized for initiating the
SPHINX. of Egypt, but positively declined
mining troubles at Virginia City. He said
that during his sojourn at Virginia City
he made a thorough exploration of the
mine and closely inspected the property
of the company.
He was asked: "What reasons have you
for supposing that a large body of ore
exists in the mine, which Mr.. Tangerman
would uncover if not hindered by adverse
interests? ?"
II cannot answer that question" replied
Mr.. Lynch. "On that matter my lips are
sealed. Here must be the sphinx
"Was the subject of resuming work in
the mine and restoring Mr.. Tangermau to
authority discussed at the meeting of your
directors to-day?"
1.-The directors held prolonged ses-
sion,n answered the president, "but the
proceedings of the session must be kept
secret for the present. Yes, all the di-
rectors were present"
Director Krause has agreed with Mr..
Lynch about the necessity OF keeping pro-
foundlv secret the transactions of the
board at the long session. Mr.. Krause
and one other director were with the presi-
dent in Nevada. Se~a
Mr.. Lynch was asked if he consulted the
authorities at Virginia City on the subject
of affording his superintendent the pro-
lection of the law, but declined to answer
the question.
In reply to the question as to whether
he had called on the Governor and Adju-
tant-General of Nevada at Carson, Mr..
Lynch said the Governor was not at the
capitol and that he did not sec the Adju-
tant-General.
President Lynch expects to return to
Virginia City before many days, but there
will be another meeting of the board be-
fore he returns.
