Suicide of a Dog.

The tenants of Nos. 10, - and IA
Forsyth street, were badly frightened
by dog, which they thought mad.
Henry Wesley, the janitor of No. -,
saw the animal first, and he says it's
eyes bulged, its mouth frothed, and
its mouth snapped as it began to circle
around him on the sidewalk. He
picked up child that was playing
near and running into the house,
darted into room on the ground floor
just in time to save his life and that of
the child. For the dog, a small brown
cur, came with bump and growl
against the door. Then the dog went
up to the roof, the people in the house
shrieking the warning to keep out of
the way.
A few minutes later the dog leaped
off the roof to a shed five stories below
and broke its legs. A man in the shed
was frightened out of it by the thud of
the fall, but his wife from the window
above shrieked to him to hurry back
out of sight of the infuriated animal.
A policeman came and shot the dog.
Then reporter arrived and began to
inquire among the neighbors about the
history of the dogs madness. 1t is
possible he was mad, if despair. hun
ger, thirst and ill-treatment can affect
the canine brain. For one of the
women remembered that the dog had
been seen on the roof for three days.
Sometimes it had scratched at the
doors for food or water, but it got
more. The women drove it off with
brooms and the men hurled at it the
next thing at hand. 1t was pretty
clear case of animal suicide which the
janitor might have prevented with
drink of water or morsel of food.-

Cycling is the sport of sports, and
it is continually broadening its sphere
of usefulness, says the New York Tri-
bune. The reasons for its ever-increas-
ing popularity are manifold, the prin-
cipal one being that there is no other
method of locomotive that is at once
so practicable, cheap, speedy and
pleaswable. To many the bicycle is
necessity; to all it is continuous de.
light. The father will cut down his
expenses, the wife will curtail in con-
Quoting the household and the children
will sacrifice anything to get bicycle,
and generally the machine proves a
blessing to all concerned in its owner
ship.

'how car lou keep us IN such sus-
pense?"
"Well," replied Arthur, ''it's rather
a long story, but you shall have it as L
got it from your father. Tho Thursbys,
you know, are very old family. They
date back further than the Conquest.
The Jarl Malise Thursbigh, for so it
was originally spelled, is said to have
been Norwegian, who came to Scot
land some time about the year 1000
A. d. His grandson Magnus was
knight in the First Crusade. He
fought under Hugh of Vermandois at
the battle of Antioch. During a
desperate charge Magnus' heavy Nor
man horse stepped on wounded
Turk and crushed his foot.
'In the heat of battle Magnus could
not stop for one man, though he did
remark the noble countenance of the
Moslem over whom he had ridden.
But after the Turks had been driven
back, and he, like true knight, was
caring for the wounded scattered over
the plain, he came across this same
man, Magnus cared for him, nursed
him tenderly, and they struck up quite
friendship. Noureddin, the Turk,
was man of affluence and nobility
of character. Before they separated
they exchanged weapons, Noureddin
taking Magnus' heavy Scotch clay
more, and Magnus the simitar of the
Moslem.
'"rhey met again at Ascalon, this
time Magnus being prisoner. The
chiyalrous Mussulman treated him like
prince and had two jeweled breast
pins made by Damascene artisan,
showing a sword crossing a simitar
over heart of gold Each took one as
a keepsake, and solemnly swore-a
strange compact it was that when the
male line of either failed all the earth

The total earnings from passenger

Switzerland has always been fore
most in the cause of charity. Recently
a society has been formed which has
most commendable objects. The State
subsidies and the police authorities
assist the operations of this society,
which has been founded for the purpose
of aiding poor travellers. In the canton
OF Aargua refugees are now provided on
the main thoroughfares at regular in
tervals, where bonafide travellers on
foot, who are seeking work or who are
passing through the country for legi-
innate purpose, can obtain refresh
ment and nights lodging. The
Berne Consul says the beneficial re-
suits of the scheme are likely to cause
its extension throughout Switzerland.

A sparrow's Gratitude to a Bow,

1t is a rare occurrence for animals
in wild state to select q man for a
companion and friend, yet well-authen-
ticated instances when this has been
done are matter for record The
following incident is vouched for by
young woman who is close and ac-
curate observer:
"Last week my brother IA lad of
twelve) killed snake which was Just
i'll the act of robbing a song sparrow's
nest. Ever since then the male spar
row has shown his gratitude to George
IN truly wonderful manner. When
he goes into the garden the sparrow
will fly to him, sometimes alighting on
his head, at other times on his shoul-
der, all the while pouring out a
tumultuous song of praise and graft
tude. 1t will accompany him about
the garden, never leaving him until
he reaches the garden gate. George,
as you know, is quiet boy, who loves
animals, and this may account, in a
degree, for the sparrow's extraordinary
actions. Louisville Courier-J ournal.
