A TERRIERS REVENGE.
Summoned His Faithful Friend AM
Obtnincd Satisfaction.

Summoned His Faithful Friend an
Obtained Satisfaction.
This dog story was told by a lady who
vouches for it's accuracy. Remarkable
AS it is, she affirms that it is the truth,
the whole, truth, and nothing but the
truth.
An up-the-state family had two dogs,
bulldog and q black-and-tan, BE-
tween which there existed every evil
dence OF deep friendship. The family
went into the country one summer
some 16 miles from home. They took
the black -and-tan with them, but left
his companion at home. They had not
been esta blished in their summer quar-
ters more than a few days befoe the
small dog had managed to pick quar-
rel with the neighbor's bulldog, in
which the black-and-tan got much tie
worse of the argument-so much so
that when he disappeared after the bat
tie his OWNERS were much worried.
They searched high and low, but no
trace of that small dog could be found
The next morning there were seen
coming up the road, side by side, the
lack-anGt tan and his faithful COM
paulion, the bulldog from home. The
two marched straight past the hotel,
where the family we're staying, and
halted in front of the home Of the
hlack-and-tan's enemy. In some un-
known manner the country bulldog
was summoned and immediately his
city contemporary fell upon him. The
struggle was severe and prolonged, but
the issue was never in doubt. The
country bulldog was completely con-
quered and retired in as good order as
possible under the circumstances. The
victor, once his task completed, wheeled
about, and without a stop retraced the
16 miles to home. The black-and-tan
crawled into the hotel with every m
dication of complete satisfaction on
his diminutive countenance.-N.Y. Y. Mail

LAKE MICHIGAN ALWAYS OPEN
How 1t 10 Made NavieabIe All the
Year Around.

How 1t IL Made NaviGabIe All the
Year Around.
Navigation on Lake Michigan is never
closed. Steamers run back and forth
across the lake and between the ports of
the west shore of the lake during the
entire winter with remarkable regular
ity. The first attempts at winter navi-
cation ON the trans-iake routes were
made by the Detroit and Milwaukee
Railroad company and by the now de-
funct Engelmann Transportation COM
pany many years ego, and the success
of winter ventures became established
as the character of the steamers was inn
proved and developments were made in
marine enginery. Now winter nayiga-
tion proceeds almost uninterruptedly,
Und the new car ferries steam back and
forth with little regard for weather or
for ice. The success of the car ferries
On Lake Michigan and the car ferry
which defies winter in the straits of
Mackinac is probably the cause of the
announcement that negotiations are in
progress looking to the constr truction of
ice-breaking freight steamers that will
enable their owners to keep them in
commission on the Lake Superior and
lower lake route during the winter.
The report is without foundation.
There is a vast difference between the
navigation of Lake Michigan from one
shore to the other, and along the west
shore, and the navigation of the great
lakes throughout their lengths and
through the inter-lake channels. Ice
breaking is expensive, and occasionally
the ice foes defy the crushing powers
of the best of the so-called ice breakers.
One of the car ferries was recently
stalled by foe near Menominee which
defed not only the steamer, but the ex~
plosive power of dynamite. The trouble
of winter navigation on the chain of
lakes would occur in the inter-lake
channels and in the canals. Owing 10
the clogging effects of the ice it would
be almost impossible to operate canals
during midwinter.
Another and very serious bar to
general lake navigation in winter is
the prevalence of snowstorms, during
which nothing whatever can be seen.
Snow is more obstructive to the sight
ttan fog, and during a driving snow
storm it is impossible to see anything
ahead, even in the daytime. Winter
navigators on Lake Michigan, who are
never out of sight of land for any great
length of time, experience their chief
ANNOYANCE fl ON snowstorms. They
! manage to steam into port when sno"
is flying thick because of their familiar
ity with the route, but they OCCASION
ally get into trouble while they are
wrapped in "the tumultuous privacy OF
the storm"
1t does not follow, by any means, that
because winter navigation is successful
on Lake Michigan it can be made sue
cessfm in the upper and lower lake
service. Winconsn.

FIRE INSURANCE AND ARSON.

The Nsnber OF Incendiary Fires Reg
ulates the Premlums-
Tho loss of property in the United
Stntes by fire has declined steadily
since 1898. In that year the total loss
was s167, 100000. The year following it
was $142, 100000. In 1895 it was $l4O.-
600, 900, and in 1896, 12O,OOO,OOO. At the
came time the value of material proper
ty subject to destruction by fire steadily
increased. The total fire losses paid By
insurance have been decreasing for tho
last four years in the some ratio. In
1893 they were $1O5, 900, 900; in 1894, $685.
100000; in 1895, is84 900, 900, and in 1895,
SIC, ,OOO,O 900.
Massachusetts, while it contains no
company ranking higher than fifteenth
in the amount of assets held by Ameri-
can and foreign companies doing Sbusi-
ness in the United States, has, in con-
sequence of its excellent insurance
laws and their strict enforcement, an
average premium rate of sl.O5 per 500
fire insurance. Iowa pays $1.72 per
500, the difference being because OF
the greater risk in the western state
through the operations of incendiaIies.
This has led to the organization in Iowa
of the Property Owners' Fire assoca-
duction in premium rates through the
suppression of incendiarSm. In Mas-
sachusetts the Office of state fire Elar-
shal WIS established many years ago.
The year previous there were only ~
convictions for incend ihrism, although
the number of incendiary fires wns L.
ITO. In 1896 there were only 635 OF
such fires, while the percentage of con-
victions to arrests was SO. Though the
rule is not universal, it may be said gen
orally that the fires of incendiary origin
are more damaging than those which
arise from accident or neglect. The
reason of this is TO be found IN the fact
that incendiary fires are started usually
at night or in the early morning, when
| they have n chance to spread.
1t is popuiarly supposed that the pre-
portion of incendiary fires to the total
number is larger in the big cities than
| in rhe country districts, but the OPP
posite of this is true. Moreover, a fire
once started, whether of incendiary'
origin or not, in a house, barn, store
house, Or isola ted building in the ccrE- .
| try, usually entails upon the insurance,
companies total loss, while a total loss
in city fire is extremely rare. In
states CT counties in which there are
| laws against incendiarism, and suc!,
laws are vigorously enforced, the fro
| risks Of the companies are very much
reduced and the premiums charged are
| more moderate than elsewhere. II.
New York city, for instance, there has
been a steady reduction in insurance
rates and rebates, and there are indic:-
tions Of like reduction N Brooklyn.
There are $50 fire insurance companies
in the United States, and the total
| amount Of risks written IN year aver
ages $50, 900, 600, 900. The disburse men's
of American fire insurance companies
and of foreign companies having Ameri-
ca n branches amountto s150.00O,OOO in =
| year. of which sum 10000, 900 is for
losses, $4,000. 900 dividends to rtocL-
holders, and the balance expcnse-.-N.

weaknesses and necessities of the poor

some sailors clearinghouse keeper.
and his business is to board incoming

most of the men will have deserted ths

e1ulled. The runner usually carries a
large bottle of bad whisky, which he
offers to his prospective victim. After

the fairy tales told him, some OF which
even a child would discredit, and by all
manner of arguments is finally induced
to desert the ship.
Sometimes the sailors get the cap

due them, and sometimes they don't. At
any rate they fall into the hands of the
runners and then their troubles begin.
"The first thing the runner does is to
get Jack a new berth. The skipper Of
the ship, as is customary, gives the
sailor $50 or $50 of his wages in advance.
This money passes through the hands
of the runner, and the portion OF it that
Jack finally gets is hardly enough to
get drunk with. Then he sails penniless
and bound for long voyage, and when
he reaches port he goes through the
same thing over again. IN. Y. Journal.

The king of Khotan, in central Asia,
made overtures for the hand of the
daughter of the emperor OF China, and
his suit was favorably entertained.
But there was something from China
which he coveted even more than the
fair princess and which he had failed to
win by war. So he induced his bride
elect to secrete in the long tresses OF
