TALKING DOG.

A Warrington Pug Which Can Say
One Word.
Perhaps the most intelligent dog in
Washington was owned by Mr.. Kot-
zebue, the Russian minister. 1t is an
Esquimau, descendant of the famous
dogs owned by Lieut.. Peary. 1t got
fall last spring which resulted in a
slight lameness. The dog was placed
on soft mattress and tended with the
most loving care.
The injury was such small affair
that the physician began to wonder at
the slowness Of the recovery. After q
few days he could find nothing wrong
with the creature, who had good ap-
petite and was apparently well, only
he refused to rise from his couch and
walk. At last the physician made up
his mind that it was deliberate case
of sham, that the dog enjoyed the care
he got as an invalid so much that he
was loath to go back to his old life.
So, one day, his doctor put him on his
feet, spoke sharply to him and con-
graduated himself on the conclusion
he had come to when he saw the ami
NAL walk off with the utmost ease.
Washington Is the home Of another
wonder in the shape of dog. 1t is a
pug owned by Miss Ellis. One is al
most afraid to announce what it's chief
accomplishment is, but impossible as
1t may sound, the actual fact is the
dog Is talking dog, and says
Mamma" with as much distinctness
as talking dolls display, 1t is a marvel
of q dog. wise beyond belief. and, al-
though it does not say anything but
Mamma" it looks as though it could
say almost anything If it had mind
to.
Care of the teeth of dogs forms an
important branch Of medical treat
ment. Many dogs have their teeth
cleaned regularly, and, of course, near
ly all old dogs have their teeth ex-
tracted. In few cases the teeth have
been filled. but this industry is not car
ried on with dogs to the extent that it
is with horses.-New York Press.

there are cases Of 'gooseberry' ready
to be opened
'Why, old shipmate, wouldn't dis.
appoint you for the world"
And now the chief mate came into
action. He was on in that piece. He
hauled up the mainsail, lowered the
jolly boat and rigged up chair for the
fat old skipper ,hoisting him up from
the main deck and lowering him down
into the attendant boat. -Four appren-
tices pulled the fat old man to his
chum and the sucking pig.
In less than an hour there came a
fog SO dense that you might cut big
chunks out of it with rusty sheath
knife.
Said the mate to the second mate:
"We will lose the old man and make a
fast run home"
Call up all hands and make sail,
boatswain!' yelled the chief mate.
I'VE will,' was the ready response.
Don't wait to shave or curl your
hair: we've got to catch the captain"
That sucking pig was the cause of
the Star Of China beating the Colorlbo
forty-1ive days from tho Cape home.
The clipper. under the care of her old
officers, was kept moving all the time.
At night, as well as day, when she
couldn't carry it she dragged 1t. There
was no taking in of canvas at dusk.
When the ship had got home at last,
John Allan, the old Scotchman, put
two and two together. He heard of
the episode Of the sucking pig. He
made a just conclusion. What he did
was to retire Capt. Harris on half-pay
and promote Chief Mate Phillips to
captain and Second Mate Stent to CHIEF
mate, while at the same time he or.
dered his other shippers not to he quite
so sluggish in stays.-New York

cupation and Health.

There are occupations which men do
not shun as they do work no gas
house." said a life insurance examiner,
(which we consider far more hazard
Ous. You will be more likely to find
old men in . gas house-men who have
worked in the business for many years
than in a brewery. In the brewery
men look robust and strong; they have
every external appearance Of health
and would be looked upon by the aver
age man as good risks But the fact
that one rarely sees an old man in the
business shows that the calling, coup
led with the habits which 1t creates,
has q tendency to shorten life. The
iron worker is another who is q less
good risk than the gasmaa it all other
things are equal. The fine particles Of
metal which find their way into his
breathing apparatus have an effect on
his lungs, and strong men In that call
ing frequently develop pulmonary con-
sumption. In fact, all trades and 0c-
cupations which require working in
dust are detrimental to longevity and
will kill much more quickly than work

dumps-just like all outclassed race

The cventful day came at last. John
Allan, Il shipowner Of the old school,
bought the ship for $4,000, and dirt
cheap she was ut the price. He had a
regular fleet Of old frigate-built ships
trading between London, Calcutta, Co
lomlo and. intermediate ports, and had
amassed large fortune.
One of the ships, the Hur Karu,
CHindostanee for Messenger) had been
lost OH the Madras coast, and, having
great attachment for her skipper,
Capt. Harris. who had made much
money for him in the past, lie bought
the clipper ship for him. But. while
he put new captain in charge, he re-
tanned the services Of Chief Mate Phil

BY means of electricity, glycerinc
and caustic soda can now be saved
from the detritus usually lost in the
manufacture Of soap. Hitherto there
has been great loss in the manufacture
of soap, because valuable ingredients
in the bi-products and the soap lye left
over could not be resolved into pure
forms. A method has now been invent
ed by some thoughtful persons In Eng.

a porous partition. and passing cleo

rum hydrate collects at one pole and
perfectly pure glycerine at the other.
Before the electplysis the color is
dark brown. but the coloFing matters
are rendered insoluble, are precipitated
easily filtered off, and the color then be-
comes light-straw. Owing to the enor-
nous quantities Of soap produced, this
item will prove very valuable one.

cheap, and cannot fail to lessen the
cost of the materials mentioned II 1t

The clipper ship Star of China,
owned by the Oolong and Howfong
line, Of No. 2 Leadenhall street. Lon
don had fallen into hard times. On
her mainmast. as she lay in the West
India docks was notice Indicative Of
her sale to the highest bidder on April
IL. 1875.
AS clipper in the carriage Of tea
she had made n record of rcnOwn.
Sixteen knots an hour. with the wind
abeam, was an easy achievement. She
was, in point of fact. the queen of the
ten fleet, thousands of golden SOver-
eigns having been won and lost on her
passages out and home.
Before the SueZ canal opened up a
shorter route to the Orient, the whole
of the tea trade was conducted in sail
ing vessels. with the exception. of
course, Of the caravan supply, all of
which was swallowed up by the Rus
slams, connoisseurs of tea, of which
they get the best brands, and of cham
payne, of which they secure the very
first vlntages.
Thus, the occupation of the clipper
ship Star Of China was gone. Her
owners had invested in a number of
iron steam tanks. such as true sailor
despises in the innermost cookies of
his heart, but which he is compelled to
sail in TO keep soul and body together.
And so it came to pass that the
saucy clipper was offered for sale in
the ignominious manner referred to
above. And the old girl looked as
though she knew she was for sale un-
der inglOrious conditions. She had
been dismantled. Her topgallant
masts and yards had be N sent down,
her jibboom had been rigged in, and.

ardent admirer of Helen Potter, she

much time and money in studying the
underlying principles of her art. She
has had instruction from some of the
best tutors of Boston, New York and
Chicago. For nearly ten years she has
been adding to the worlH's sum of
lightheartedness by delishting her
audiences with costume sketches of re-

burst of tragedy, all in harmonious
blending. She has given entertain

There are fifteen college graduates in
prison stripes on Blackwell's Island.
This fact was learned by a clergyman
of this city, who recently conducted
Sunday morning service at the peniten-
tiary, and it was ELECTED by his remark
ing to one Of the keepers that there
were great many intelligent faces in
the group Of prisoners confronting
him. The clergyman made mental
notes of some of the faces, and after
the service he pointed them cut to the
keeper, and asked if they were not col
lege graduates. Out of the five men
indicated by him, only one was COL
lege graduate, and, to the clergyman's
dismay, the keeper designated US COL
legc men three Of the most repulsive
and vicious-looking prisoners in the
group. One Of the most intelligent
faces in the throng was described by

Where Hotel Men Draw n Line.

Among annoyances to which hotels
are subjected is one which means ma
terial loss at busy times. This is when
person telegraphs or writes for rooms
to be reserved, and upon arriving in
town decides to go to another hotel.
Very frequently rooms which could
have been given to guests are vacant
on account Of this, and the careless
hotel patrons appear to be unaware
that they have inflicted any injury on
the house. Sometimes, however, when
q clerk calls upon them with a bill for
the rooms that they didn't occupy they
are open to conviction of wrong-doing
and settle the bill. The matter has
rarely been one of litigation, but the
hotel man has the best end Of it, and
the proprictors' national association in
tends to make it so understood when
ever it is necessary.-Hotel Gazette.
