BRUTUS WAS SMART.

Knew when the Conversation Touched
on His Battle with Bruin.
A writer in the American Field tells
of fight between a black bear and a
mongrel cur that could boast not of
lineage or personal appearance. He put
up game fight, however, only to be
worstcd in the end by powerful stroke
of bruins paw. When the bear was dis
patched by the dogs master it was
found that Brutus, the dog, was very
badly used up, and he presented sorry
appearance. lie was carefully nursed
back TO health and strength again, and
proved useful in many hunting expe-
dition. Some time after the dogs adj
venture with the bear, one of the party
Col. B.-left home and remained
away for several years. When he re-
turned he found Brutus an old dog, bear
ing his honorable scars with the sedate
dignity of a worthy pensioner. At first
the dog did not recognize the colonel;
the memory of old association seemed
blotted out. One day, after having
been home about week, Col. b. and his
brothers we're sitting together talking
CT old times, while Brutus lay near by.
apparently doing. During the CONVEX
sation the incident wherein Brutus was
81 badly used up by the bear was
brought up; that memorable hunting
exploit was gone over, and the cour-
ageous conduct of the dog et toled as it
had been years before, The old dog re-
manned quiet while the events of the
first bear hunt were being discussed,
until his fight with bruin was reached.
At this point Brutus jumped up and
sprang toward Col. b. in demonstrative
recognition, showing that he had heard
the conversation, and that his memory
had been awakened by the recounting
of the unfortunate experience with the
bear.

dear friend. "They don't know, of
course" she thought, eXcusing them in
her own gentle way. Though 10 other
eyes it may seem poor and old-fash-

the first and the only home that ever
had" And, after the sad, tender man
ner of the old, who only have past and
an empty present without Turing flu
ture here, she fell a-dreaming of by
gone days, when her faithful John
brought her, a bride, to this dear old
home, which seemed so grand and beau
tiful then. How could it ever seem lone
ly and humble to her, when it was so
rich in thousand happy, blessed recol-
lections? Had not that been Johns
favorite rose bush? Had not she and
John planted that very mountain ash
together? And could the rooms ever
seem empty and cramped to her when
every nook and, corner spoke to her
sometimes of the living or of the dead
as eloquently as tongues could do?
Here is where she used to sit and
watch the fire on winter evenings, rock
ing the cradle as she knit. This dark
spot on the worn floor is where baby
Mary had spilled the ink while she sat
there writing to the soldier father far
away where the battle ragged or on the
long, dreary march. And here, beside
the old-fashioned table, on which still
Law the well-thumbed family Bible, she
had knels and prayed for 20 years with
John--prayed for her little ones in tear
full grief when he was gone-prayed for
them when they, one by one, slipped
from her arms out into the cold world,
and where she still nightly bent her
stiff old knees to pray for them and
theirs. fpa
Mother only loved the old house bet

Diffusion OF Powerful Odors,

1t is said that grain of musk is ca
pable of pertaining for several years a
chamber would contain 2,9S5,9 cubic
without sustaining any sensible dimi-
mutton of its volume or weight. Such a
chamber would contain 2,9S5, 1884 cubic
inches of space, each cubic inch con.
tanning 1000 cubic tenths of inches,
making in all 3,0O0,O0O,O00 tenths of
inches. Now, it is proba bic, indeed, al
most certain, that each cubic tenth Of
an inch of the air of each room contains
one or more particles of the musk, and
that this air has been changed during the
series of years an inconceivable number
of times. This being the case, it is only
natural that the imagination should re-
coil before attempting to compute the
number of particles which must have
composed that single grain of perfume!
Numerous as they must have been,
taken all together, they have no appre-
ciable weight or magnitude. True it
is that the human mind cannot con-
ceive of such "infinitesimal littleness."

FOR YOUNG PEOPLE.
MAMMALS RIoHT-HAND MEN.

Five OF them. all in row,
Dimpled and white as snow.
Sure and steady, always ready.
Glad enough to run:
Helping mamma In fun.
Tho first little fellow. you see,
Is short and fat as can bel
And he stands below the rest OF the row
And they above him
Look down and love him.
The next little helper to him
Is straight and proud and slim.
Just a bit naughty, not bit naughty.
He and his little fat neighbor
Are partners In their labor.
In the middle, in honest pride
Two subjects on either side
This king Is there. stately and fair.
A silver crown wears he,
And he wears It royalty.
Beside him. with languid grace,
The fourth man takes his place.
He's a bit OF a dandy, and not very handy
But he does his best,
As well as the rest
And last of them all in the row,
Stands the baby brother you know.
or you don't know, would not say SOD
For who cannot guess It, then?
Who are mammals right-hand men?

DOG KILLS HIMSELF.

when Little Ernest Wilcox Died His Pet
Was Found Drowned.
A touching story of dogs fondness
for his young master comes from St.
Louis, and is vouched for by those who
know the boys parents. Little Ernest
Wilcox and his pet st. Bernard were in
separable companions. They often went
swimming together, for Rover, the
pet, was not afraid of the water. A
few weeks ago Ernest was stricken
with typhoid fever, and, after lingering
for many days under the most careful
nursing, the bright little chap died.
All the time that Ernest lay sick abed
Rover was on guard outside the door
of the boys room. Nothing could in
duce the faithful canine to leave his
post. a ... s..
When finally the young master passed
away, and weeping friends and relatives
came and went, and every thing about
the house was strangely silent, Rover
refused to eat even the tiniest morsel
of meat, and scorned plateful Of juicy
bones as If they had been that much
sawdust.
Very late on the night Of little Err
rests death. there came the noise Of a
great whining from the room where
the dead boy lay. Investigation
showed Rover standing on his hind
legs in front of the cold young body of
his quiet master.
Two days later Rover was missing.

The desperadoes gave their names as
Samuel Hill, william West and John We'll

No truth, however, is given this statement,
as the officers claim they constitute only a
part of a Pittsburg gang OF professional
thieves.
The implements carried would prove the
latter to be correct, as in satchels carried
by them were found dark lanterns, false
faces. revolvers and a bottle of chloroform.
They had. when caught, four diamOud rings,
four gold watches and a dozen razors and
$212 in money.

were sent for. The citizens followed them
toward Indian Creek and four miles east

Firing was begun at once on both sides.
The negroes fle " from tree to tree trying
to escape the de adIy bullets. To their dis
may the special trim pulled past them and
stopped on the other side. The thieves were
now between two fires and they grew more
desperate every moment, but instead of
