For orangeade, take two sour

MY HERE was happy family al
the West Thirtieth street mo-
lice station. in New York the
other night which was the out
growth of persecution. When the
summer began the cats around the
building began to make declarations
as to the summer games, and midnight
vaudevilles were held on handy roofs
and in convenient alleys. They became
somewhat of pest and received as.
saults from people who were inclined
to regard them as disturbers of the
peace. The police, when coming in
from the II O'Clock post, would fire.
quently take a fling at some Thomas
cat who happeded to be making a de.
tour of the street in search of
chorus.
Finally things reached such pass
that cat was as good as gone when
he appeared in range of flying club.
Frequently a fusilade would occur that
sounded like q tenement house falling
down. So unerring became the aim OF
some of the policemen that they would
kill a feline serenader at thirty PAGES
with their clubs. The boys OF the
neighborhood took hand in the
sport and the man who has the con-
tract for collecting dead animals in
that district was in a fair way to make
a small fortune Then the neighbors
complained and Policeman Shay deter
mined to subdue the cats by more hui
name methods. Night after night
when he came in from his post he
would bring scraps of meat, crackers
and other foods, which he distributed
in front OF the station house judicious-
ly. At first the prosecuted animals
came to the feast gingerly, but after
week or two they came out in droves
shortly after midnight and partook OF
the supper spread before them by the
animal-loving cop.
AS time went on the cats came to
know their benefactor and they pass
ed around the word that he was al
right" Those who came to sing re-
manned to eat and when they had eat
en- they went quietly away. Feline
animosities were forgotten, and now
they gather on the front porch as
though they owned the place. The
other policemen have suspended hos
tilities and the war has been declared
off. Sometimes ten or twelve sleek
looking tabbies can be found doing
around the entrance, waiting for Shay
to come in and 1t is a dangerous
thing TO attempt to disturb any OF
them.

~ N UNUSUAL story of animals
~ comes from a farm near Star
ucca, Pa. A farmer noticed
one Of his COWS making re-
peated and furious charges at dense
thicket on the farm. The animal,
which seemed Infatuated, rushed at
the underbrush again and again, strik-
ing the thicket with its horns and
believing long and hard. An investi-
cation by the owner of the animal
showed that he was fighting a big
blacksnake and trying to stamp it 10
death with her fore feet. The thickst
was an isolated clump of laurels and
the snake did not seem disposed to
leave it and trust its life in the open
country.
Finally the COW lowered her head
and attempted to impale the snake OH
her horns. In an instant the snake
sprang on the cows head and coiled
itself about her horns. The COW was
dazed for an instant and then set eff
on run, occasionally kneeling to rub
herself against the ground. but she
was unable to rid herself OF her enc
N.Y. The COW seemed finally to real
ize that all her efforts were useless
and set off at a full gallop. The men
on the farm made an effort to follow
her and turn her back. When corner
ed she would charge everything in
sight. She beloved herself hoarse
with terror and foam came from her
mouth and blood from her nostrils.
Her sides were distended and she pant
ed as though her very sides would
burst. Whenever the men approached
to kill the snake the poor COW, half
craZed, would start off again, tossing
her head in the vain effort to shake the
snake off. But the reptile kept its
hold with wonderful tenacity. 1t was
not seen to strike the COW, but it
seemed to enjoy its ride and to take
pleasure in torturing the animal that
bore it, Occasionally the snake would
half untwist itself and its head would
play before the cows eyes. On these
occasions the poor animal would bel
low with terror and go backward in
an endeavor to escape from the snake.
Finally the brute dropped from sheer
exhaustion and painted out her life.
The snake was Immediately dispatch
ed and on being measured was found
to be over six feet in length

vN lex, a ram belonging to ]. Vail,
farmer near Newburg, N. Y,
u churns the milk of the farm anu
drives the cows to pasture. The
big churn has a dasher which is con-
nected on the outside of the dairy with
the wheel which Dick turns round I'M
til the work is ended. AS the butter
forms the wheel turns harder and
tnen Dick works with a will, bleating
as he works. He seems to know his
work is almost finished, and when at
last the butter has come he jumps off
the wheel and takes nap, but if COW
happens to low he is away in an in
slant to the pasture to find out what
is the matter He churns 120 quarts
of c"oa.u at time.
Dick takes the twenty-five cows to
the pasture in the morning and brings
.-.u4 nome at night. In the morning
he is frisky and allows them to loiter
and eat grass on the wayside, but at
night he is in a great hurry, and if
a cow stops he butts away numerically.
If one strays away he will keep all
the rest waiting until he finds the
truant, and with few butts he chases
them ali home.
III Tie luOulu VI Api II DiSh was
taken to the brook, thoroughly washed
and then shorn. The wool was weigh
ed and valued at IS. The farmers
wife sells it every other year. She
uses it each alternate year for herself
and family, spinning it on an old family
wheel, and then knitting out of the
yarn stockings for the whole family.
Dicks coat grows very fast, and by
June he has a heavy supply of WOOL
Dick is head boss of the barnyard,
and will butt anybody who interferes
with his rights. If he has weakness
it is for the farmers wife. She can
always do anything with him, having
taken him when quite young and
taught him to churn. At first the job
was not easy. Sometimes the most
stubborn look would come to his eye,
and he would halt and sulk, but little
would start him off again. He is, of
course, the pet of the whole family.

"a YOT man alone has artificial eyes
NJ these Gays. 1t is the fashion
4 now to supply glass eyes to pet
cats and dogs. In the east the
demand for artificial eyes for dogs is
brisk. 1t is largely due to the fashion
of making pets Of bulldogs and bull
terriers, which are now so popular.
At Newport, the other day, DR.. Rush
]. Heidelkoper put new eye in Mrs.
Frederic Nelson's pet brindle bull ter
rier. The dog had his eye dislocated
in fight some months ago, and as a
result he lost the sight of it. The ami
NAL seemed to realize what was being
done for him when the doctor perform
ed the operation, and never WINGED.
Artificial eyes for dogs have to be
made to order, but any optician will
procure them in a weeks time. OF
course, they must fit the socket with
perfect accuracy, so as not to cause
any irritation, and the dogs for whom
they are manufactured are of SO many
sizes and shapes that each eye is quite
different. AS all have to be made to
order, they are expensive, costing from
$40 to SIS.
dogs eye is usually much larger
than human beings, but it is not to
be compared in point of size with the
horses. A glass eye for horse is a
very big thing indeed. 1t is as large
as small tea saucer Many valuable
horses are supplied with glass eyes,
for of all animals they seem most
prone to eye injuries.
All the artificial eyes for animals
used in this country are of native
manufacture. There is big factory in
New York devoted entirely to the man
ufacture of artificial eyes, and here
most of those used for dogs and horses
are made. Usually several eyes are or
dered at once, as in the case of per-
son, because artificial eyes do not last
very long, a new orb being necessary
about once in six months This seems
a bit strange at first glance. but it
really is not, for the acid of the secre-
lions affect the enamel and cause a
roughening of the edges, which brings
on irritation. Thus the demand for
eyes is constant
A sample of the sort of eye required
by each horse or dog is kept in the
factory, so that at no time is there any
trouble in obtaining duplicates.

I0N OWN at Cape Cod old Captain
= Patterson, after sailing the sea
i for more than forty years, final
ly retired to a little farm near
BarnstaD.e, where he settled down,
with horse, cow and two or three doz-
en- hens. His COW, though lank and
stubborn creature, was said to come
from good stock, and when the Barn
stable people took it into their heads
TO have fair Captain Patterson &C.
termined TO exhibit mis- COW. But when
the day came for driving her to the
grounds the COW showed that she had
a mind of her own and would not
bulge a sep beyond the farmyard
gate. In vain the cd captain tugged
at the rope, pommeled her sides, and
pushed her HANKS. The COW wanted to
go to pasture and was bound she
wouldn't go to the fair
Captain Patterson's patience was
nearly gone when an idea occurred to
him. Though he was not strong
enough himself to force the cow to go
to the fair, his training suggested some
thing that was Tying the COW to the
gatepost, he went up into the loft of his
barn and threw down an old sail
stepped to dorrymast. Then he put
a horse blanket belt through an iron
ring, strapped the belt around the
COW, inserted an end Of the mast in the
ring and bound the mast to the side
of the COW with some fifty feet of rope
The wind blew ''quartering," and when
the captain united the cow and raised
the sail the canvas swelled out over
the cows back and away she went
siding" down the read, mooing and
lunging and trying in vain to stop her
self. Captain Patterson seized her tail
and, using it as a rudder, guided her
skillfully in the right direction.
With every fresh puff of wind the
obstinate cow would be hurried along
faster, while the dust blew up in clouds
and the sail tapped and tugged as Cap
tain Patterson held to the main sheet
With one hand and the cows tail with
the other. When they came in sight
of the fair grounds everybody ran out
TO see the remarkable sight of a cow
being sailed through the streets like a
ship. Cheers and laughter filled the
aid. and when the captain finally
whirled his COW around at the gate of
the fair grounds and brought her neatly
"up into the wind" the shout that
arose might have been heard two
miles away

"HE performance of the proverb-
ial bull in the china shop is well
Il known, but the other cay In St.
Louis one of the bovine kind
got loose on the levee and before it
was finally corralled it, severely in
jured Charles Tanary and stopped all
work at the Belt railway shops. The
animal became detached from a drove
which was being driven to the Ma
ticnal Stock Yards by way of the upper
ferry. The cowboys cid all in their
power to lasso the steer, but did not do
SO. 1t ran down among the cars and

and drive it back to the herd. This
resulted in chase down the levee
front and all the teamsters pulled out
! and gave the steer as much of the road
as it wanted.
In passing the Belt line shops the
animal suddenly darted through an
opening and into the place. Several
men are employed there and conster-
/ nation became general at the sudden
appearance of the unwelcome visitor
a couple Of wOrkmen ran at the steer
with hot bars of iron and soon re-
treated in the best order possible I'M
der the circumstances. The steer had
absolute possession of the place for
several minutes and jumped and sport
ed about as though it was delighted
with the surroundings. A workman
finally jumped down from window
and boldly started after the Infatuated
beast, but was caught before he could
reach another place of safety and
hurled high in the air by the steers
horns. He was thrown into such a
position however that the beast could
not again attack him. The animal had
stopped all work in the shop, and APP
parently he was not yet satisfied with
his achievements, but a minute later,
! by accident, succeeded in stopping the
machinery. In passing the big fly
wheel he slipped into the pit in which
the wheel was revolving. His body
acted as a brake and brought all the
machinery to a standstill. The ami
NAL was then in trap and the driv-
ers and shop workmen lost no time in
securing it with strong ropes.

PATIENT and ingenious man,

" PATIENT and ingenious man,
~ Herr Straus, Of Berlin, is en-
4 a gagged in a novel and unusual
business, something which he
has thought out for himself and which
is proving very lucrative.
1t has long been admitted that the
dog stands unrivaled among animals
for the intelligence he so markedly
displays, but, Notwithstanding this, it
seems that certain amount of train
ing is necessary to turn out what might
be called really good watch dog.
The fact seems to have impressed
Herr StrauS to an unusual extent, for
he has established in Berlin an acad-
envy where watch dogs are turned out
by the hundreds every year. For this
purpose he has invented system
whereby every dog, by judiclous april
cation, might finally develop into
good watch dog, and also an affection
ate pet. The system does not consist
of teaching the bow-wow a few tricks
which, however pretty they may look
in the drawingroow, are scarcely OF
value-but in educating the dog SO that
he may distinguish burglar from mas
ter, and treat them accordingly. Thus,
every dog placed under the care OF
Herr Straus is put through scientific
training and is taught, should occasion
occur, what part Of the mans body
must be attacked to prove most en-
couraging to non-resistance.
Before this can be mastered, how
ever, the value of obedience must be
instilled into the mind of every dog
sharing the hospitality of his master,
and consequently the recruit IS flrst OF
all taught such ordinary tricks as sit
ting on it's launches, jumping in ID IL
Gus ways over certain obstacles, and
carrying stones from one place to an
other.
When these simple tricks have been
properly grasped his canine pupils
Herr Straus proceeds to more import
ant instruction. A dummy represent
ing tramp is placed outside the gate,
and to the knob a string is attached,
which is held by an assistant. Slowly
and steadily the gate is opened until
the head of the dummy is perceivable
inside. The dogs are taught to ny at
this dummy as soon as they see IL,
and the educated dog promptly does
credit to his mastery springlng at the
throat of the imitation tramp. The
teacher was the victim of his own sys-
tenn not long ago. He dressed himself
in a ragged suit, and opening the door
of the room where the dog was made
a noise. The animal flew at him and
chased his instructor for several
squares.
