A DOGS SENSE.

A young girl was crossing the public garden the other morning upon the main path which crossed the bridge. She was accompanied by a magnificent mastiff, who strode along beside her in the most companionable sort of way, looking up into her face occasionally as 1T to remark casually that it was a very fine morning or to ask if there was anything he could do for her.
 The two crossed the bridge together. and finally came to the Charles street gate. Here the young girl. not wishing to have the care of the dog in the busy streets, turned to him and said:
 There, that is far enough now, Marso. You need not go with me any farther, but turn about and go back home"
 She did not take her hands out of her huff to point the way, and she spoke as she would to small brother in a pleasant, Conversational voice.
 Marco looked at her with his large eyes, then looked across the common, wagging his tail slowly as though he were thinking how very pleasant it would be to go the rest of the way. Finally he turned back to her again and with a movement of his head and eyes asked as plainly as though the words had come from his mouth: Please let me go little farther. it Is such a fine morning.
 No, uedI, III SoIHS SHOpplnS, you know" answered the girl. explaining the difficulty as if Marco were human. "Therell be crowds or people and I shall not know what to do with you. But go along now, there's a good fel- low, and I'll be back soon.''
 Without another word Marco turned and walked back across the gardens. He did not slink away, as some dogs do when sent back, but marched lies urely along with his head in the air, stopped a moment on the bridge to watch the children skating below, then trotted on toward Commonwealth avenue The Athenian watched him until he had disappeared beyond the gates, then resumed his own way, won dering whether Darwin loved dogs or not.-Boston Record.

In view of the fact that this and the Dupont plant in Della ware are the only plants upon which the Government can depend for powder at the present critical time there is alto- gether too much at stake to take any risk, and it would certainly be wise and prudent thing to do to take every pre- caution to prevent accident to this plant.
 Lieutenant Babbitt ordnance officer from Benicia, was at the plant at noon to-day to look after a shipment of 100 900 pounds of powder, which leaves tonight to be landed in Chicago within ninety-six hours.

ENGLAND's COAST DEFENsEs.

It can no longer be said that Great Britain is unprotected. The coast de- lenses were never more complete or eff ficient. Right round our shore stretch these many defenses, not isolated an1 therefore of little account, but forming a linked protection, with the telegraph or telephone at hand to respond at naval headquarters in London to the slight est warning, and from Whitehall there branch off private wires to the great ham and Sheerness.
 few words from any point on the coast be 1t an isolated coastguard sta- tion or a lonely guardship, may in an hour or two have led to orders of na- tional import being flashed over sleeping towns and villages to the naval com. com manders in chief at the coast and be- fore the outside world knows of impend- ing danger all the machinery of defense will be in readiness for any emergency. That this Is no exaggeration those may judge who remember the haSty commits sioning of the particular service squadron in January, 1896, when the German Elm peror'S ill-judged telegram to President Kruger set England ablaze with anger.
 Before even the Times announced the new squadron. "to do anything and go anywhere" as Mir. Goschen explained. the telegraph instruments at Whitehall had been vigorously ticking. and unknown to the public the admirals at Chatham. Portsmouth and Davenport had had their awake the preparations for commissions ing the ships had commenced and in a few days a squadron of powerful modern vessels was fitted out and ready for any task When the necessity arises no less promptly will the machinery of defense more extensive scale.-Chambers' Jour nal.

manded the previous question. The sub- stitute was then adopted without divi- sion.
 McMillin moved to recommit the bill. with instructions to strike out the bond provision and insert in lieu thereof the income tax provision, but withdrew it and allowed Bailey to modify the motion to instruct the committee to add the in- come tax provision as an amendment to the bill. the bond feature being retained.
 The motion was defeated-134, 173.
 The motion to recommit was defeated 134, 173.
 The vote was then taken on the final passage of the bill and it was passed-1S1 131. With six exceptions the Democrats and Populists voted against the bill, and two Republicans voted with the opposi- tion.
 Boutelle (R) of Maine, chairman of the Committee on Naval Affairs, presented the conference report on the naval bill. Cannon (Rl of Illinois made the point of order that the conferees had exceeded their jurisdiction in that they added over s500000 above the difference between the two houses and had also added provisions which were not in conference. With the point of order pending he moved an ad- iOurnment, which was carried.

PEOPLE FED ON sAwDUsT.

Some time ago. says the Family Doctor at the depot of Havre. the Government finely ground sawdust. The seizure was the result of numerous complaints made by bread consumers in the department in which, Havre is situated. Investigation two years bakers flour had been sys- tematically adulterated by the addition of a free sawdust The culprit was arrested. At his examination it was learned that. in one department alone, he had disposed of over 800 wagon loads, and that in vari- oils other departments his sales had ag- chased in Paris, and shipped to the vari- ous points where the culprit had sold it. His customers were mostly millers, who supplied the adulterated four to the bakers. The investigations and resulting prosecutions will involve a large number of milers and bakers.
