VERY SMART BOY.
Thought the Horse Had No Right to Be
FooIhardy.


Canine intelligence is a something
that has oftentimes been the subject
upon which fiction has been founded.
The queer antics of the dog, and it's
seemingly keen perception at divers
occasions, are things that have brought
many philosopher to conclude that
this species of the dumb brute is well
nigh human
AT one of the evening entertainments
of the Carver combination common
poodle dog, If it did not show true I'M
derstanding of the situation, certainly
verified the sympathetic qualifications
that have so often been attributed to its
kind. During the entire performance
he seemed as interested as anv of the
spectators 1t closely watched the ath-
letes mount the tower and make their
high dives, followed them in their airy
flight before striking the water, and
seemed to smile all over when they arose
uninjured to the surface of the water.
But what seemed to attack its sensibili-
ties most was the act of the diving
horses. As soon as it saw that one Of
the horses was being led around to the
incline at the back of the tower, by
which they ascend TO their place, it be
came restless, and commenced to whine
pitifully. 1t seemed to strike it that
this was not as it should be; it grasped
the unnaturalness of the feature, and
expressed sympathy the best it could.
u painted, and the whine grew stronger
the nearer the horse came to the plat
form. When the horse stopped and
waited a moment, the dog actually
seemed to lose its breath. And as the
horse fearlessly made the plunge the
dog actually shuddered and seemed to
be on the point of collapsing. The horse,
of course, arose safely and swan to
shore. Upon seeing that the horse had
escaped uninjured the joy of the dog
knew no bounds. It barked and wagged
its tail and was as happy as could be,
and but for its master would have run
to where the horse was, presumably to
extend congratulations upon a remark
able escape Minneapolis Tribune.

Like all the little games Of combine
ton this is very simple after you know
how but have seen it tire the patience
of an eminent architect and even a great
civil engineer.
The solution Of it is indicated in the
illustration:
just lean the fourth match lightly
against the first in order to let the third
fall under the one which you hold. Then
lower the hand so that the third may
pass into the angle formed by the first
two. Now lift into the air the match
which you lold in your hand and the
others will come with it two on one side
and one on the cther.-Chicago Inter

Inter Ocean, p: The advice Of the
Mark Lane Express 'to hold your
wheat" Is coupled with Il brief summary
OF the situation, especially as regards
the seeding OF winter wheat. 1t partic-
u~larizes France, Russia, India and Aus
tralia. The lateness Of the seeding sea-
sou 10 France has lessened the acreage
there much more than the higher price
England. In Russia the spring or
ghirka sowing may De larger, but at least
only n falling off in azima or winter
wheat. or the Indian wheat prospect it
says that while the extent Of the famine
is still somewhat uncertain "there can
not be any wheat available for export
prior to April, 1885," Australia is dis,
posed Of with remark that 1t is import
ing California wheat, and has no surplus
available for shipment to Europe. No
mention is made OF Argentine wheat.
In the production OF wheat this coun-
try leads all the world, but next to the
United States come IN the order men
toned India, France and Russia, as the
three other great wheat growers. Aus,
tralia has a very considerable surplus
because it's population is sparse, while
Hungary and Italy, although large pro-
ducers, are not heavy exporters. Our
export of that one cereal was l57,29O,35l
bushels during the year beginning July
!, 1891, and our crop for that season is
set down as ~G0O,0OO,O0O bushels. The
aggregate value Of the wheat exported
was slGl,399, 1872, or s1.O26 per bushel.

MISSING RELIC FOUND.
Louisburg Cross of Harvard Said to Have
Been Located.

Louisburg Cross of Harvard Said to Have
Been Located.
There is considerable excitement
among the students and faculty of Har-
ward over the rumor that the celebrated
Louisburg cross has been discovered in
the rooms of Il certain secret society.
The cross is of real historic value.
1t was taken from the old Catholic
cathedral Mt Louisburg by the English
under Shirley in l745, and after a va
ried career in Massachusetts was put up
over the entrance to the Harvard libra
~, where it remained until about q
year ago, when it mysteriously disap-
peared.
Now it ia thought that it was stolen
by some candidate for admission to q
society, which requires all its neophytes
to do something the discovery of which
would cause the candidate to be expelled
from the college. The faculty has beer
putting forth every possible effort tt
learn the whereabouts of the missing
relic.

Hunting the VVild Goat.

The White Goat or Rocky Mountain
Goat as 1t indlscriminately called, is Il
species of big game rarely hunted by
eportsmen. This Is not 80 much because
of the difficulty Of killing the
animal, nor because of It's actual
rarity. 1t is IA stupid animal, easily shot
when once found. 1t ia not, however,
found in the usual hunting grounds, AS
are bear, deer, elk, etc. 1t is remote from
the common localities, but where found
is in goodly numbers. 1t range very
high up in the mountains, above timber
line usually. among rocks and cliffs.
This requires great labor to get to it, but

Andrew Putnam of Belvidere and a
man named Barabo started to drive
over the mountain from Montgomery
to Jay last week Monday. Just before
they reached the summit the horse got
into big snow drift. The two men,
assisted by a teamster from logging
camp, worked three hours but were
unable to cxtricate the animal. They
left some feed beside it and went down
the mountain to the house of Mr.. Hon
singer. When they went back the
next morning they found the horse SO
nearly frozen to death that they killed
it. Putnam intends to sue the town Of
Belvidcre to recover the value of the
animal.
Andrew Harrington Of West
Dandy attempted suicide last Mon

his milking pail and a new axe and
went up onto the scaffolding in the
barn, closely followed by young Har-
rington. The elder man seeing that
lie was followed, pushed the ladder
over, throwing the young man to the
floor. Mr.. Harrington then took the
axe and cut through his skull several
times with the corner Of the axe. His
relatives and FRIENDS who rushed to
the barn tried to i,issuadc him from
his suicidal attempts but could not
reach him. He finally dropped from
exhaustion and his friends then rushed
up and let his body down with rope.
A physician was Immediately sum
moned and dressed the wounds. 1t is
thought that he will recover. De-
spondency is assigned as the cause for
the deed.

tonic, this perfect spring medicine,
DR.. Grecne's Nervura blood and nerve

needs at this season. 1t not only pu-
rifles, but makes rich, red blood; it not
only strengthens and invigorates the
nervous system, but reorganizes and
revitializes theneryes by feeding them
with renewed nerve force and power.
1t is not only an aid to digestion, but
it creates regular, natural and health
