upon those mysterious pillars of rock,

forth, and stalks in silence up his dark

DOG WITH A HISTORY.
He Has Covered 10000 Miles in Life
of Four Years.

One of the most travelled dogs on rec
ord is Donnie H., black-and-tan dachs-
hund, which is exhibited at Cruft's
show in London. Donnie is the prop
erty of an officer in the English army,
Capt MacMahon, and in a life of lit
tie more than four years has travelled
some 10000 miles, 5000 of them on
horseback. He has traversed land and
sea, crossed deserts and mountain
ranges, and been, with his master, a
participant in many deeds of endurance
and adventure.
Donnie was born September IS, 1892,
in England, and when seven months
old was sent to Capt. MacMahon in In
dia by friends. The journey, first by
sea, then by land, through Sind to
Beluchistan, during a time of great
heat was the first test of the puppy's
endurance. He stood it well and soon
be gan his journeys on horseback, a
mode of travelling to which he seemed
tc take naturally. He accompanied his
master on long riding tours through
Zhob and other parts of Beluchistan to
Simla, and from Peshawur to Cabul.
In the spring of 1894 Capt. MacMahon
was appointed British commissioner of
the Beluch-Afghan boundary commits
sion and took Donnie with him
through the Gomal valley to the Afghan
frontier. Here dog and master re-
manned for more than year, enduring
together extremes of heat and cold,
hardship and privation. Then came an
other horseback journey through India
and voyage from Bombay to England.
Later return to India again and jour
rey through the southern part of the
country, something of a pleasure trip
this time, Capt. MacMahon being on the
staff of the viceroy. This was followed
by more travels and hardships in the
wilds of Afghanistan and a trip to the
Persian boundary. Dog and master
are now both in England.
Donnie is a most expert equestrian.
With his hindquarters against his mas.
ter's thigh, and occasionally leaning
against his body for support. he rides
without even steadying hand The
horse may walk, trot, canter or gallop.
but the dog is not disturbed He even
maintains perfect equanimity during q

FOR YOUNG PEOPLE.
A HERO.

He was perfectly certain, he always said
(And story books must be true).
That somewhere over the meadows led
To the den of robber crew.
So adown the lane with his sword and
shield,
One beautiful summer day,
And over the fence to the buttercup fed
He merrily took his way.
And he laughed no! no! as he went along.
And put on his fiercest looks,
And he made up a kind of battle-song,
AS they do in the story books.
But the dragon that lived in the buttercup
field
And guarded the robbers den
Came up and shifted at his sword and shield,
And opend his mouth-and then,
SO somebody tells me, this brave little man
(Oh, sad to relate, but trueD
Dropped helmet and all. turned tail and ran,
AT the sound of that terrible Moor
Still, robbers there must be left to fight
And dragons there are, no doubt;
And it's glorious fun if the weatheris bright,
And-there aren't any cows about!

BarbeI Wire TeIephOues.

Clarence and John Taylor, living a
nile apart on the Taylor farms in East
Dickinson county, Kan, have solved
the communication problem. Attach
ng fine telephone instruments to the
oarbed-wire fence that connects their
places, they have an easy method of
communication. During the recent
storm, when weeds and debris were
piled on the fence, it made no differ
ence in the transmission of sound and
they talked with ease. They will ex-
tend the line 21a miles to Pearl Station,

ket reports and news by telephone.

ments will doubtless be put in, making

They dismissed the matter for the time
being and went about their work.
Later in the day the bird was seen
to be hanging dead outside the hole. a
slipnoose on the end of the string which
ii had been using to build the nest was
tightly drawn around its neck and part
of one wing. A photograph was taken
on the spot and an examination made.
1t was evident that the bird had drawn
the string into the hole until nothing
hut the slipnoose remained outside, then
for some purpose had flown quickly out,
and in so doing had passed its head
through the moose. The force with
which the moose closed around its neck
must have strangled the bird Instantly.

ROADSIDE TREES.
The Practice of Planting Orchards
Should BE Quite Popular.

euAtS
This is receiving more attention in
some parts of our older states and de-
serves much more than it gets any
where. Our public lands are so near eX-
hausted for homesteadS, that the su-
perabundance of land in the United
States will not allow us to be wasteful
in its use. In Germany the planting of
forest trees by the roadside is no longer
a practice. The highways are a con-
tinuous garden. The owner of ada
cent land has charge of the roadway
fruit; but the roadway officials assume
charge of the care and protection of the
trees. The railways are now following
the growing custom, and planting APP
piles and pears along the side of their
tracks. There are a few sections in the
United States where apple and cherry
have for some years been the common
road trees. The fruit, so far as | can
see, is no more subject to molestation
than that which grows inside the lines
of strictly private ownership. found
near Ithaca, n. Y. choice cherries by
the side of the road; and the trees were
loaded with undisturbed fruit Pos
sibly most of US would consent that
wen half of such fruit should refresh
the wayfarers, if we could utilize the
streets, and have half the product as
compensation for the planting. In this
section of the state apple trees line
some of the roadways, but more atten-
ton is given to ornamental shrubbery,

A WONDERFUL TREE.
1t Produces Glue. Towels, Cloth, Tin
der and Bread.

anna
Did you ever hear Of a tree bearing
glue, towels, cloth, finder and bread?
There is just such Il wonder. 1t is
found on the Pacific islands and it is
called the bread-fruit tree.
1t is about as tall as a three-story
house and the branches come out
straight from the tree like so many
arms. They are covered with leaves
nearly two feet long and deeply gashed
at the edges, while half hidden among
them are the fruits, growing like apples
Gil short stems, but larger and having
thick yellow rind.
This fruit is like bread, and it is in sea-
son during eight months of the year, the
natives finding good living in it. They
gather it while it is green and bake it
in an oven. Scraping off its outer black
ened crust they come to the loaf, which
is very much like nice white bread.
But it must be eaten soon after baking,
else it grows harsh and loses its pleas
ant taste.
AS for glue, it oozes from the trunk of
the tree and is found useful for many
purposes; the leaves make excellent
towels for the few natives who care
TO use them; and from the inner bark of
the tree kind of coarse cloth can be
made. Besides this its dried blossoms
are used for finder in lighting fires, and
the wood is in great demand for build
ing purposes.

BIRD HANGS ITSELF.
Strange Event at Edison's Laboratory
at Orange, n. j.

ut Orange, y. j.
A strange event happened at the Ed
son laboratory in Orange, n. j., recent
~, which puzzled the great inventor
and left the question as much in doubt
as ever. 1t is thought by some Or
Rngeltes that an English sparrow com
united suicide on the walls of the lab
oratory; by others ;hat merely an ac
cident occurred. The facts are as fol-
lows: In the end OF the loft in one of
the laboratory buildings is diamond
shaped arrangement of holes. These
holes were left there for ventilation
purposes and were made by leaving out
certain bricks in the end wall of the
house. They proved capital nesting
places for the sparrows, and several of
the birds were not slow to make use of
them. One day the workmen around
the building noticed a sparrow which
was making a great to do over the re-
pairing Of a nest. The little fellow flew
IN and out of the hole, collecting all
kinds of shreds and patches and inter-
weaving them with the old work of the
nest. Finally the bird secured a long
piece of grocer's cord, such as is used to
tie up small packages, and flew with it
to the nest. The worllmen saw the bird
enter the hole with the string trailing
after it. Then as the part of the cord
still hanging out of the hole was sub
mitted to several continued jerks they
concluded that the bird was interweav-

GRAY MANS PATH.

rocks which wall the coast, is an eX-

some supernatural power had hewn for
itself a private pathway through these
towering cliffs, so that it might at will
visit or summon the spirits of the
deep; it is a grewsome place, particu-
larly at night.
The passage is at first very narrow,
but widens somewhat below. 1t ex-
