DOG OF TIE IRON MASK.

Although Only an Asistocratic Statue 1t
Deceived the Street Mongrel.
A relative who lives in one of the one
time fashionable mansions now be-
come students boarding houses, in the
south end, tells me pretty good story
OF dog, says reporter for the Boston
Post. In the yard, where fountain
was once known to play, but where now
dust gathers, is an iron statue of dog.
The iron dog watches and guards the
old fountain, but he in his turn has an
admirer and adorer. The other day,
hunting for another dog to go out and
play tag with him, came young street
mongrel. He was unaccustomed to the
ways Of aristocracy, and in his simple
ignorance supposed that anything that
looked like a dog was dog.
Up to the statue he bounded barking
and wagging his tail. In stately i'm
mobility the iron dog gazed on out into
vacancy. This did not deceive the
other. He had seen plenty of dogs as
sumo just that naughty and distracted
manner when they did not care to fight
Wishing to show his iron friend that he
appreciated his attitude, but assuring
him OF no evil intention, the dog from
the street kept on barking and wagging
his tail. He even ran around his friend
a number of times to show that there
was no ill-will-as is the manner of
dogs. But the dog of the iron mask did
not bulge. My relative says that he is
sure that even if the street dog had
brought around a, cat to chase the iron
dog would have remained unmoved. A
red Irish setter came out finally and
called the street dog away. The latter
went with distinct traces of reluctance
in his manner. He liked the style of
that iron dog and had rather play in his
yard with him.

Unique Methods of Reasoning Which
Some People Adopt.
Charles Daniels, a member of con-
gress from Buffalo, served % years on
the New York supreme court bench
before he was elected to congress- Re
Gently, in talking over old law cases
with a number of lawyers, says the
Troy Times, he told a story which was
a dazzling illustration Of the unique
methods pursued by some people
to arrive at conclusions. The case
III question was that of a man named
Greenfield, living in Oswego county,
who had been convicted in the lower
court of the murder of his wife. The
case was carried to the court of ap-
peals, which reversed the finding OF the
lower court. A special hearing was
ordered by the governor. This was
held at Syracuse, and Judge Daniels
was called upon to preside. In examin-
ing the jurors, one man said that he
was prejudiced in the matter. When
asked if he had CLEANED his prejudice
from the papers OF by talking with in
terested parties or by hearsay, he re-
piled to every question that he didn't
know a thing about the case, but that
he was nevertheless prejudiced. He
was excused, but Judge Daniels was
not satisfied, and he sent the sheriff
and had the juror brought to him. He
asked him where he had gained his
prejudice. The fellow replied: 81
don't know anything about the case,
but the lawyers made such idiots Of
themselves in examining the jurors
that | knew the man must be guilty.
HORSELESS SLEIGH INVENTED.
VIII Run ON Snow and Ice and Even in
the Water.
Motors for horseless sleighs are among
the latest novelties at the patent office
They are light, powerful affairs, and
can be run by an amateur as easily as
those attached to horseless carriages
The sleighs are designed, says the New
York World, to run either on the snow
or ice. A pair of spurred wheels is
arranged between the runners, anu
with a little lever the driver can adjust
them so that they viii work on the soft
snow just as smoothly as upon ice One
inventor has also provided against the
danger of breaking through the ice.
His sleigh is formed something like a
boat, and is perfectly water tight If
the ice should break the sleigh would
float, and the ice spurs would act as
paddle wheels in bringing you to shore
again.
One patent is for a sleigh that may be
rowed across the ice. On the end of
each oar is heavy weight with sharp
steel point to cut into the ice Another
rowboat for the ice is rugged with slid
ing seat and legs with sharp spurs,
which catch into the ice and shove the
boat forward each time the rover pulls.
Considerable speed is obtained by this
arrangement, although the rowing is
not as easy as upon the water.

The Red Man and the Bike.

Jack Ross, an upper farm Indian.
traded his horse to some white man for
a bicycle. Very impatiently he waited
for the mud to dry up SO that he could
try his new steed. Finally he started
out to make his first trial Going down
by the river, he selected nice, smooth,
grassy slope. After getting on and off
few times, in the usual graceful man
ner of beginners, he was finally firmly
seated in the saddle and wabbled around
in great shape for time. But fate was
after him. In his wabblings he hap
pened to head the machine down hill
toward the river. He was delighted at
the ease with which he ran the machine
and did not notice where he was headed
until he was about ten feet from the
steep bluff that hung right over the
deep water of the river, but it was then
too late. He gave wild yell, pulled
back on the handle bars and shouted,
"Whoal' but to no avail, and the next
instant Jack and the wheel made a
graceful curve and plunged into the
deep, chilly water of the Siletz river,
with the wheel on top. Presently very
wet and thoroughly disguised Indian
crawled out on to the shore, dragging a
bicycle out after him, and now the
wheel is again for trade. - Lincoln

Things We Ought to Know.

That many lung troubles come
from superficial breathing. Deep, full
breaths should be drawn and the
lungs fully expanded.
That the house should he thor
oughly ventilated at all times and
seasons.
That a damp cellar will cause
many kinds of sickness, and great
attention should be paid to the
proper airing and draining.
That buckets of unslacked lime
placed here and there in cellar will
absorb a great amount of moist ure,
rendering the air of the cellar dry
and wholesome.
That an application of cologne
water or ammonia to the stngs o.
mos quitoes, bees or hornets will
cause immediate relief.
That the stings should always be
removed from wound by forceps OIL
gentle pressure.
I. That a good knife should never bt
| used for stirring potatoes or Other
vegetables when frying, as the heat
| destroys the temper OF the steel.
That knives should be gently
rubbed with oil before they are pu
away for any length of time to pre-
vent them from rusting.
That little borax in baby's batl
| will prevent the skin from chafins
and from breaking out from the heat
| That kettles should be washed a

While elegance is not sacrificed, the
fashion in house furnishing has in the

toward a more comfortable mode of fit

less of conventionality, more of the
common sense element to be found in

to this tendency to combine beauty with
utility, availability with comfort, Dec
orator and Furnisher says:
The stiffness has gone from our draw

even more apparent in the apartments
devoted to home rather than to social

A cRIPPLE'S CHAIR.
How One Was Made with the Aid of Old
RicYclea.

How One Was Made With the Aid of Old
Bicycles.
A use for useless bicycles has at last
been found, the useless wheel, or rather
wheels, being converted into wheeled
chair for invalids and cripples. An ex-
ample of this conversion of old cycles
appeared upon the paths of jackson
park recently and attracted no end OF
attention.
Its construction was simple in the ex-
treme. Two old, hard tire bicycles had
been utilized From these the handle
bars, pedals, crank hangers and saddle
posts had been removed. This done, the
steering heads were fastened together
with a clamped bar. Then came the
part of use to the cripple A light and
easy chair was hung between the frames
and securely clamped to the tubing. A
foot rest was added, and the chair was
completed at cost of a few hours of
labor and trifing expenditure for an
iron bar and clamps. The bicycles were
rescued from an old junk heap.
When the chair appeared in the park,
a thin, pale woman was seated in the
chair, which was pushed along by a
man, who applied the force necessary
for propulsion to the back of the seat.
The chair was moved and guided as
easily as if it were the most extensively
constructed invalid's vehicle. OF course
| people stared at the queer looking affair,
| but neither the man nor the woman
seemed to mind being looked at and re-
| manned in the park for several hours
