Tried to Drown His Rival.

Some time ngo u family living ut Now
Mills, Berwick, got a collie dog pup and
put him alongside u kitten, and tho pair
seemed to get on very well for n time.
jealousy was not long in springing up,
however, and few days ago the puppy
was seen to lift tho kitten in his mouth,
carry him to the back of the house, and
looking around to see that no ono observed
him, drop tho kitten in tho ashpit. Pussy
was recovered, however, and like an in
valid, received double share of attention
for some time after. This must have still
further intensified the dogs jealousy, for
his next move was oven moro remarkable
Ono day the dog was observed to lift the
kitten in hi, mouth and proceed by O cir
ouitous route to Whitadder bridge about
300 yards from the dwelling Trotting to
tho middle Of the bridge, no halted, put
his head through between tho motal up
rights and dropped Tabby into the river
from height Of 90 feot. He then began
to jump and bnrk, evidently an expression
of satisfaction at tho success Of his muir
dcrous plan. The noise tho dog was max
Ing served to attract tho people of tho
house, who, on going to the bridge, found
the cat struggling in tho river. 1t was
rescued, but how the pair will got on in
future remains to be n.--Westminstcr

How the Family Laundering Is Done II
Various Countries.

The hardest worked washerwomen in
the world are the Koreans. They have
to wash about dozen dresses for their
Husbands, and inasmuch as every man
wears pantaloons or drawers SO baggy
that they would como up to his neck,
like those of clown, they havo plenty
20 do. The washing is usually done in
cold water and often in running
STRAINS. The clothes arc pounded with
paddles until they shine like q shirs
front fresh from Chinese laundry.
The Japanese rip their garments
apart for every washing. and they iron
their clothes by spreading them OH q
hat board and leaning this up against
the house to dry. Tho sun takes the
wrinkles out of the clothes, and some
OF them have quite lustor. Tho Japa.
nese woman does her washing out of
doors. Her washtub is not moro than
six inches high and is about us big
round as the average dishpan. She gets
the dirt out Of the clothes by rubbing
them between her hands. She some.
times uses Japanese soap, which is full
OF grease, and works away in her bare
feot.
Tho Chinese girls do their washing
IN much the same way.
The pretty short haired beauties of
Siam wear their gowns when bathing
i'll the river and wash them while tax.
ing their bath. When they have finish.
ed, they trot up the steps of their float
ing houses, and, wrapping clean sheet
round their bodies, they slip off the
wet clothes and wiring them ont to dry.
Tho washing in Egypt is usually done
by the men. The Egyptian washerman
stands naked Oh the banks of the Milo
and slaps the wet clothes, with noise
like the shot Of pistol, Oh the smooth
stones at the edge of the running water,
and such fellah women as wash pound
the dirt out Of their clothes in the same
way.
Frenchwcmen pound tho dirt ont
with paddles, often slapping tho clothes
upon stones as tho Egyptians do.-Pear.
