Deadly weapons Carried by Miners.

In the Century there are several pa.
pers devoted to the Pennsylvania coal
regions. Henry Edward Rood writes
of"A Polyglot Community" He says,
concerning the foreign miners:
The first purchase made by Slovak
or Polack is revolver, by italian or
Sicilian a stiletto; then the newcomer
buys silver watch, and after that is
secured he begins to save money. II
the Slovak or Polack is particularly
thrifty, he postpones purchasing re-
volver for several months and carries
in one pocket round, hard stone,
large enough to crush mans skull
and in another piece OF iron filched
from the colliery scrap-heap. The
italian or Sicilian too poor or too
penurious to afford stiletto buys,
begs or steals long file and sits down
in his shanty or by the roadside, with
two or three stones and grinds ii to
keen edge and needle-like point.
Then he fastens the blunt end in q
corn-cob and has ready for use
weapon OF no mean possibilities.
Once armed, however, and provided
with a watch, the foreigner manages
to live at total expense Of about SO
a month and this may be regarded as
q liberal estimate in most instances.
The remainder OF his wages is saved
toward the purchase of vineyard ora

Horse wisdom.

II your horse is very tired, give
him little rest before he is fed.
Rub him we'll all over, his legs par
ticularly. fs
Feed few carrots, aud at least q
third less oats, and the horse will do
better, besides they cost less to raise
than oats. t.t eH|
II your horse bolts his feed, put q
few cobble- stones in his Manager or q
handful OF shelled corn we'll mixed
with the oats.
Low hangers best for horses.
The runaway horse has to have his
first run. Avoid it by never being
careless.
Horses, like men, are happier after
O good meal.
The grain ration does horse more
good if fed three times per day,
than all at once, or two feeds. Feed
it after hay and water. Farm Journal.

Rewarded with silver Medal for Hi 4

The following story can be vouched
for, and in recognition Of the timely
action of the dog, the Alliance Assur-
ance company, with whom the prem

silver medal to Zulu, fully realizing
his sagacity In preventing what would
otherwise have been u disastrous fire,
with considerable danger 10 the oc.

Sunday morning lately reused by an
outbreak OF Are, which had apparently
been smouldering for some time be-
tween the floor Of the dining room and
ceiling Of the room below. He, after
repeatedly scratching at the bedroom
door Of one Of the servants, succeeded
in waking her. Thinking the dog
must be unwell, she let him into her
room, and got into bed again, but was
not allowed to sleep, as Zulu, sitting
close by her bedside, kept talking"
to her las she describes it) so vigor-
ously that she suspected something
must be wrong. On getting up the
dog appeared so delighted that she
followed him out Of the room, and on
looking into one Of the rooms dis
covered the ceiling burning.
Upon rousing the owner of the house,
who Immediately had the fire alarm
rung (which was fortunately close at
hand, Zulu, seeming TO know he had
done his duty, rushed upstairs to his
mistress, and left the house with the
children, evidently satisfied that he
had fulfilled his part On the fire
brigade's arrival it was found that the
fire had taken serious hold, and only
required more air (which would have
been given in another ten minutes by
the collapse Of the hearthstone, etc.
to burst into flame In several places.
The damage by heat and smoke was
very great, and had air been admitted
nothing could have saved the entire

The Kind Expressmsn and the Pigeons


Walking some time since, says q
correspondent OF the Boston Herald,
/ noticed an expressman throwing
oats to the pigeons which descended
from Q building to feed upon his
bounty. One perched upon his wrist
to peck oats from his open hand.

like that in Venice, where I believe
some one left money for the purpose.
He had heard Of 1t through some Of
his lady pstronesses.
A few days later I met him, when
he told me that on going home one
evening he found young pigeon ap.
parently dying on his doorstep.
He took the little bird in, fed and
warmed 1t, and in a few days II left
by the open door, entirely we'll.
Going home ut evening he found the
same pigeon at his door. II entered,
remained all night, and few of again
in the morning. This it continued to
do for some days, and Is doing now.
1t seems to me, said my bird-ioving
friend, that pigeons have minds, for
il remembered my house. II certainly
had heart, for II was grateful for my
tenderness, which cannot be said al.
