The Dumb Restauratenr.

Some years ago / was stopping in a
western town. During the night fire
alarm was sounded and crowd quickly
gathered at the scene of the confiagra-
ton, which was in building occupied
by a grocer, the basement being used as
a restaurant. The firemen soon had a
stream of water playing on the burning
building, which flooded the floor and
soon began to trickle down TO the res
taurant below. The proprietor, who was
asleep, was soon aroused by the con-
fusion incident to a fire, and in a half
dressed and half dazed condition rushed
up the steps and into the street shout
ing at the top of his voice: 81 can't
speak, l can't speakr The ludicrous-

The Emperor's Dog.

Ii was dark, and down retired street
in Paris man rode alone on horseback.
Suddenly the horse stopped as iffright-
ened. Then man rose from the pave
ment in the middle of the street and
jumped to one side with cry. The
rider was angry, and exclaimed: "Are
you drunk, man, that you lie about in
the middle of dark street to get your
selfrun over?'
"You might better lend poor fellow
hand than scold in that way" eX-
claimed the other al had 800 francs
i'm gold in this bag, carrying it to pay
bill for my master, and the bag has
broken and it is all lost over the street
If you have some matches they will do
me more good than your curses"
ATS no easy task to find lost money
on night like this" said the rider,
dismounting. 81 have no matches,
but perhaps can help you. Have you
any of the pieces left!''
"Only one" replied the unfortunate
fellow, with sob.
''Give it TO me-" said the other.
The poor man hesitated, but the
stranger repeated the words in a tone
of authority, and the last coin was
handed to him.
The stranger whistled and great
Spanish mastiff stood beside him.
He held the coin to the dogs nose and,
leaning to the rough pavement, said:
'F'ind them"
The dog shifted the gold piece and
began the search.
One, two, tn rec; he began bringing in
the coins and dropping them into his
masters hand, while the poor servant
stood by in silent wonder.
Thirteen times he returned with
twenty-franc piece. Then, after Il long
search, he came back empty, with a
grunt that seemed TO say: 'There are
no more"
ave are yet lacking one piece" said
the stranger. "Are you sure there
were just go iIanos?"
"Sure as sure can be, sir" the servant
replied.
''Then look in the bag again. There
must he one left there"
The man looked and sure enough
found the last gold piece still there.
"Oh, sir" heexclaimed, as the stran-
ger sprang into his saddle, you are my
deliverer. Tell me your name that my
master may know who has done him
such a service"
~ have done nothing said the
stranger. "Tell your master that the
one who helped you has very good
| dog by the name of Joie."
1t was some years afterwards, when
France had seen troubled times and
the royal family was no more, that the
master was telling the incident to a
party of friends, one of whom had
been employed in the palace.
| 'Joie, Joier' he exclaimed, "There
never was but one dog of that name
and there never was more remarkable
and faithful dog than he. He always
accompanied his master when he went
in disguise about the city"
"Who was his master?' they a II
asked.
The reply was brief: "The Emperor

Most of the breeds OF fowls that
have topknots are good layers. But
they can not protect themselves from
hawks and owls where these abound,
because their head covering prevents
them from looking upward. The best
guard against hawks and owls is to
keep few guinea hens, which will
rase their peculiar and boisterous clamor
every time they see strange object in
the sky, and thus give warningtO to other
fowls to seek shelter from the threaten

1t is known that there is considera-
ble difference in the length of gesta-
ton of domestic animals. A French
scientist believes that il is in some de
gree due TO the warmth or cold to which
the dam has been subjected. Cold
weather he finds retards CESSATION. The
experiments showing this were made
with rabbits, which breed readily at all
seasons, and whose usual term of gesta-
ton is only six to seven weeks.

to fit metal blunt tip over the horns

horn to make them a good fit is pain

Whether the water for the cows
should be artificially warmed or not
