The Dog and the Law.

Once it is established that the nature
If the species is gentle and that every
dog is a law-abiding and p~eaceable
Bruno, then it becomes necessary, be-
fore liability for the vulgar transgres-
sions of a fierce Towser can be fastened
on the owner, that he should have pre-
vious knowledge of the unusual and
not-tO-be-expected feature. This is
called scienter, and until an owner has
this knowledge of his dogs viciousness
he is not responsible, though in the err
ror of its ways not acting as becomes
a gentleman of the dog species, or a
lady, as the case may be. To be more
accurate and exact, once a dog had de-
parted from the narrow path of recti-
tude and demeaned itself in ways other
than should obtain with a strictly prop
er and gentle animal, and the Owner
knows of it, then il loses status and
caste, and must be put down as Il vicious
animal, and the owner keeps it at his
peril. Lord Coleridge, it seems, was
anxious to reduce the law on the sub
ject to a nicely in the way of succinct-
ness and brevity, and he succeeded by
saying that ''every dog is entitled to
one bite" and the case has special ref
erence to spring lamb or veal. The ex-
preston is varied by making it Every
dog is entitled to one worry."-Green
Bag.

How S~erpents sleep.

One of the most curious facts with
regard to snakes is that their eyes are
never closed. Sleeping OF waking,
alive or dead. they r always wide
open. This is because there, are no
eyelids. The eye is protected only by a
strong scale, which forms a part of
the epidermal envelope, and is cast of
in a piece with that every time the
reptile mouths. This eye-plate is as
clear and transparent as glass, and al
lows the most perfect vision, while at
the same time it is so hard and tough
as to perfectly protect the delicate or
gan within from the thorns and twigs
among which. in flight from enemies
or in pursuit Of prey, the reptile so
often hIrriedly glides, as any close OBJ
server of the habits of the snake can
readily discover.-N. Y. Saturday
Evening Post.

AMERICAN SEWING MACHINES
Enough Produced Yearly to Do Worb
of Seven Million Sewers
by Hand.

There are made on the average in
the United States, it is computed, 5O0,-
600 sewing machines a year, and the
extent of the sewing machine business
is shown by figures which, if not sus-
tanned by official confederation, might
be thought to be eXtravagant. There
are 65 sewing machine factories in
the United States, with a gross capital
of 500, GOO, OOO, giving employment to TO-
900 persons and having annual receipts
of more than SIS, 0OO, 900.
The American sewing machine in
Gustry is sufficiently large to supply
not only the home market but the for
eign market as well, and nine-tenths
of all the machines made in the world
are produced in the United States, and
practically all of them are protected
by American patents and are the re-
suits of Yankee ingenuity, perse-
crane and discovery. In the figures
of the sewing machine business of this
country the important item of repairs
to machines is not included. 1t is a
separate branch of the business, main
tanned apart from the manufacture OF
machines, ard gives employment to 4
considerable number of persons.
American sewing machines to the val
ue of about S4,OOO,OOO a year are
shipped to other countries, and there
is practically no country where the
benefits of civilization are known in
which American sewing machines are
not in use.
During the fiscal year of 1897 Ameri-
can sewing machines to the value of
more than 81. GO0.09O-S1,0 75, 00O-were
exported from the United States to
Great britain. The American sales of
sewing machines to Australia last year
amounted TO $25O.OOO. These figures
were exceeded by the exports of Amer
lean sewing machines to Germany,
which amounted to S161.0G0 last year,
TIE machines being, of course, invoiced
at wholesale andnotatretail prices. and
a sewing machine shipment of S75O.0OO
in value 4 year represents a selling
value in Germany of certainly a mil
lion-perhaps considerably more. To
Mexico last year were sold sewing
machines to the value of $20O,O00, to
France S125,OC0, to Canada 100000. to
the Central American states $1OQ,O00,
to the Argentine republic 100000. to
the United States Of Colombia $4,000.
to Brazil S115.CO0, to other states of
South America collectively S11S.O0O,
to European states, exclusive of Eng
land, France and Germany, $4,000,
to Asia $4,000, to Africa s1S,gOO, and
70 the West Indies So, 900, though prior
to the Cuban war there was a large
market for American machines in
Cuba. 1t is computed that 100000 ma
chimes can do the same amount of
work as 7,OOO,0 900 sewers can do by
band.-Chicago Tribune.

OUR FLAG,

World-fashions change, tits often said,
The race by novelty is led,
But cur old flag, white, blue and red,
Shall keep these tints forever.
Clustering stars, like FURNISHED gold,
Shine from each softly-huttering fold.
With pride We gaze, with love untold
Rally to guard it ever.
thee We shed a nations tears,
And memories rise of long-past years
Or anguished struggle, bound with fears
To keep thee strong forever.
o fervent blue and brilliant red,
White blended with a starry spread,
For thy proud beauty brothers bled-
Hallowed art thou forever!
race, one mighty destiny!
One land stretching from sea to sea,
Thrilled by the same pure loyalty.
One flag for US forever!
Land of our eager, loyal love!
With eagle brain, with heart of dove,
Aspiring, tender, true, ye prove
A worldwide shelter yer.
Open thine arms unto the world
Tyrants from thrones may yet be hurled,
Yet ne'er shall be thy pennants furled,
Our banner floats forever.
Lydia. Wood Baldwin, in Good House
keeping.
