Reason In the Lower Animals.

We have a fox terrier whose happi-
ness was complete until Dodgerfield
came. She is very affectionate, conse-
quently very jealous. If looks and
growls would kill, Dodgerfeld would
die many times q day. Both dogs eat
from the same plate, but not at the
same time One day last week we fed
Dodgerfield first. The fox terrier was
vcGy hungry aud begged hard for first
dinner Dodger seemed to cat more
slowly than usual, and Nettie watched
dolefully
Finally hunger got tho better Of her
honesty, and she barked sharply three
short barks. Dodger left mis- plate and
sprang to the window, looking excitedly
up and down the road. NetGe looked
neither to the right nor the left, but
made straight for the plate Of food as
soon as Dodgers back was turned. If
this was not an exhibition Of reason and
human intelligence, then mankind in
general possesses large degree Of ami
NAL instinct. Dog Fancier.

MUSIC AND MICE.
a Suggestion Of Novel Trap Eject of
Piano Playing on Rodents.


a Suggestion Of a Novel Trap Effect os
Piano Playing on Rodents.
Truth Of London suggests that as
mice like. music thero is an independent
fortune awaiting the man who will in
vent a small music box which when
wound will run all night, since such a
contivance would serve TO call mice
into traps and would be TO the mico
what decoy is to a flock Of ducks or a
looking glass to tiger. After this sug-
gestion, which is not untrue to nature,
Truth goes on to say that music that
sounds out of kilter to q critics ears
would also drive mico from the house.
If the Truth writer had even actually
seen a mouse under the influence of mu-
sic, he would never have made that mis-
take. Neither would he have said Fan
accordion would also make the agile ro-
dent desert the house as be is said to
desert the sinking ship. Whether mu-
sic affects rats 10 a question not yet set
tied by students of natural history.
AS to the actual doings Of mouse
when listening to music, it has been OBJ
served that the playing Of piano, even
the tum tum of a beginner learning his
first tune, will cause mice of the COM
mon house variety to run-up and down
behind the plaster of house, causing
it to rattle in way Gt to disturb the
most earnest student. One night half a
dozen persons were gathered in the par
Tor Of an Adirondack home listening to
a skilled player, who, as a woodsman
said, "oOuld make a pianner talk,
when it was observed that the mice
We're acting in an unusual manner. Tho
ordinary conduct of mice when they
hear piano music is to merely rattle the
plaster, but on this night they squeaked
and squealed and ratified the plaster as
they had never done before. The rush
of the rodents died away after the mu-
sic stopped, but it was hours before the
last squeak was heard.
One of the human listeners was a boy
who had some little skill as a harmon
icon player, and he went frequently tc
the woods. where, with the aid Of the
instrument, he succeeded in calling
chipmunks, red squirrels, and on one
occasion a woodchuck, besides WOOD
mice, including the deer mouse, ant
the smaller birds. The mice chiefly ran
about the player, with now and then {
squeak, but sometimes a low strait
with slight modulations would seem Il
drive them insane, and then, withou
hesitation, they would run over TIN
) player rs if he had been a stump Th
squirrels were less demonstratiye.

GOOD COPS AS EASY MARKS.
A Retired Bunko Mans Idea of the Value
of Regularity to the Crook.

A Retired BunlSo Mans Idea of the Nalue
of Regularity to the Crook.
An old time crook stood on Broad
way corner, in the Tenderloin district,
late one night recently, watching a
young policeman trying the store doors.
The policeman did the work with great
care and regularity.
That's a careful copper, the crook
volunteered, addressing a man who was
standing few feet away.
Eyes, " replied the other Evidently
he wants to gain the good opinion Of his
superiors.
The old time crook laughed.
cit would surprise you," he contin-
ued, wouldn't it, to hear that that sort
Of careful cop is a dead easy mark for
thievesF'
81 don't sec how, " returned the citi-
zen.
Easy enough, " retorted the crook.
cts your careful copper that can be
easily spotted. The man who is going
to do Job knows just where he will be
on his post at certain time and can
figure out jest how long the coast will
be clear and the job can be carried on.
The careful cop goes at his work just
like clockwork. Now, with what some
persons would call a bad cop it's differ
ent. The crooks are afraid Of these
bad cops, the fly fellows that take big
chances and stay off post when the
roundsman isn't around. They can
never tell just where a bad cop is OF
when he will jump out and catch them
at their job. See? There is no known
system of keeping track Of 'em, because
they don't do business themselves by
any system, those bad cops don't. "
Then the old time crook walked into
saloon and got a drink, leaving the
citizen ON the corner wondering. Tit
citizen learned the identity Of the crool
when he narrated the incident later Il

fellow was retired bunko man. -Nev

AARON BuRRs FARMHOUSE.
She Building, which Is over a Century
Old, Still Standing.

Old, stnl Standing.
o.. tho corner Of Hudson and Charl-
ton streets is frame building which,
10 critical eye, would seem to be
tnmbling down, or rather would ap-
parently be if it were not held up by
the adjoining building. The window
frames, which once were square, are
quite out Of plumb, dropping downward
on tho south side. The ceilings are low
on every floor, and on the Hudson street
front the first floor, which is little
above the sidewalk and reached by a
few steps, has been transformed into
couple of small stores, while the en-
trance to the upper floors is gained
through a door on Charlton street. An
extension has been erected on this side
to the main building so rs to cover the
lot.
The building was formerly the farm
house of Aaron Burr and was located
on the top Of Richmond hill, through
which Varick street was cut When
these streets were laid out, the old
farmhouse was brought down to the
road. which is now Hudson street, and
placed on a vacant lot, then and now at
the corner Of Charlton street. Opposite
to it was placed another frame house,
which had been removed after the great
fires Of 1885 and 1S45, from Chambers
street, where it was known as the "Old
Brown jug " This removal had been
caused by the extension Of the fire linn
its in the lower portion of the city. A
few years ago the "Old Brown Jug
building was condemned and torn down.
In its place a brick structure has been
erected. But so far the old Burr house
has been spared, for, although it is out
Of plumb, the building was so strongly
constructed that there is little danger o.
its falling.
For many years the old house was oc
cupied by an old time leather heaC
watchman, - who, after his retiremen
from that service, employed his time II
making leather travelling trunks, whicl
he sold on this corner, occupying tn
upper floors with his family. At hi
death, few years ago, the family, lik
many of those who formerly resided i
Greenwich village, removed to the NJ
per part of the city, and the buildin
has since ceased to be inhabited by on
family. New York Mail and Express

Du sraurler liked the Fashions.

It was inevitable, as the principle ex-
ponent Of topical art by pictorial satire,
that Du Maurier should hold pretty
strong opinions about women's dress
and fashions generally, and it is fact
that he was by no means a deorier of the
productions Of the modern modiste. On
the contrary, he admitted a very warm
admiration for his feminine contempo-
raries-small waists, pointed Shoes big
hats and all-and felt a constant pleas
ure in delineating them. And as for the
children of this fortunate country, he
would say he could think Of no painted
or sculpturod children Of the past who
were more charming-at least to him.
And this, from an artist who never for
got that he was French by birth, was
praise indeed -Lady's Pictorial.
