Dog-Tight Gates.

According to q recent decision Of 4
Prussian court. the railroads in that
country must have dog-tight crossing
gates. or stand liable for any canine
Injuries resulting from failure to do
so. Some time ago, while the gates
were closed at railroad crossing in
Munster, an aristocratic hunting-dog,
In the active pursuit OF his vocation,
sluded the obstacle and struck the
track at that point simultaneously with
an express train. The train passed on
unscathed says Law Notes, but the dog
had to be picked up with a sponge.
In a suit by the owner to recover $50
damages for the taking off of his blue
blooded pet, the railroad company
claimed that it had performed its whole
duty in shutting the gates, and that II
the dog was so ill-mannered as to
climb over or crawl under in the face of
such a manifest desire to exclude him,
then the blame was with his master.
The Court, howe r, held that 1t was
the duty of the railroad to keep the dog
off it's tracks and appointed experts to
determine whether the barriers provid-
I'd were reasonably calculated to pre-
vent the passage of unwary dogs. They
repo oily TO the defendant,
and after a further reference to ex.
perts in canine pedigree to determine
the value {: the deceased, the plain
tiff was awarded $50, with interest
from the date Of the catastrophe.

No More Old Women.

Happily no woman is ever old now,
unless she chooses to be. The day is
passed when the mother is RELOCATED
to the back parlor and allowed ia
wear only black silk. with an occa.
sional black alpaca for dissipation
Nowadays the mother dresses just as
young as her daughters, and no one
can say that she or her looks suffer
from the change. She has as many
partners as her daughters If she
dances, and she usually does. Perhaps
1t is the change in the way of living,
as well as in the change of dress, that
has made a young woman Of the ma
iron, even aftel her fortieth year has
passed.

How to Toll an Oysters Age.

He who wishes may find out the
exact age of an oyster, though he has
not the telltale evidence in teeth. The
lines in the groove of the hinge of
the shell tell the Whole story, each line
representing a year. An oyster is OF
age at four years--that is, he Is old
enough to vote, take care Of family
and go to market. Going to market is
a disastrous undertaking, for four
year-old oyster Is particularly pal
atable. BY this 1t must not be sup
posed that after an oyster has passed
the four-layer period, and has five,
six or even ten wrinkles on his SHE'LL
he is a back number. Indeed, there
are records of oysters being eaten
Just after celebrating their thirtieth
birthday. and in most cases they form
ed delicious meal. Thirty is an un-
usual age for an oyster to attain, be-
cause few are given an opportunity
to live so long. II left to enjoy life
In his own way, it is quite probable
that the oyster would become an octo.

Horse Breeding in England.
Some idea of the attention paid In
England to the breeding Of the useful
horse as distinguished from the ami
nal used for racing may be gained
from the fact that at the recent London
show of the Shire Horse Society the
total value of the cash prizes for ex-
cellence in this breed alone aggregated
f1,227. There were seven classes for
stations, six for mares, and two for
geldings, and there were number OF
cups and special prizes as well There
are also breeders prizes, thirteen in
number for stations and mares, and
two for geldngs, with first prizes of E1O

Cake and Bread Boxes.


Cake boxes with double trays, that
swing out to afford easy access to
each, are considerable Improvement
over the old style. Bread boxes, too,
are much improved. \ patent one is
self-closing, and takes forever out of
the mouth that oft-repeated injunction
to the cook, Keep the bread box
shut" The bread receptacle is cylind-
rical in shape, and rcvolyes, pulling
open like the covers of some OF the
mail boxes, TO spring back into place
the moment the hand releases It..
These boxes are made sufficiently long
TO hold loaves of French bread, and
cost from $3.50 up according to size.
All bread boxes are made now with
ventilating holes, TO keep their con
tents from getting musty.

Few Climb Stairs Properly.

If one would avoid fatigue in climb
ing stairs, he must learn to do it prop
erly. A physician of repute tells how
this should be done. Usually" he says,
"a person will tread on the ball of the
foot in taking each step. This is very
tiresome and wearing ON the muscles,
and it throws the entire suspended
weight of the body on the muscles of
ing or climbing stairs seek for the most
equal distribution of the body's weight
possible. In walking upstairs your feet
should be placed squarely down ON the
step, heel and all, and then the work
should be performed slowly and de-
liberately. In this way there is no
strain upon any particular muscle, but
each one is doing its duty in a natural
manner The woman who goes up
stairs with a spring is no philosopher,
or at least she is not making a proper
use of her reasoning faculties. The
habit, too, of bending over half double
when ascending a fight of stairs is ex-
ceedingly reprehensible. In any exer-
ton of this kind, when the heart is
naturally excited to a more rapid ac-
ton, 1t Is desirable that the lungs
should have full play. The crouching
position interferes with their action,
the blood is imperfectly aerated, aud
there is trouble at once. Give the
lungs a chance to do their work every
wnere ana at all times"

Music and the Puritans.


Macaulay wrote as If the whole body
of Puritans thought it sin to touch
[playl the virginals." The Puritans
did, indeed, forbid all amusement on
the Sabbath, re-enact Queen Eliza
beth's statute against the disreputable
street MINISTRIES, and object to the use
Of the organ In worship; but they did
not object to everything pleasant, says
Notes and Queries. The organ was
In those days used not in the same
way as now, either in England or
abroad. Thomas Mace of Cambridge,
who was in York during the siege,
(1644,) says in "Musick's Monument"
that In York Minister the congregation
sang psalm tune accompanied by the
organ, a custom which he had heard
Of nowhere else. That custom is now
universal; but the ordinary use of the
organ in the seventeenth century was
to add brilliancy to the vocal music
sung by the choir. and all possible en-
bellishment by ford runs seems to
have been employed.
The Puritans objected to that style
of sacred musicj and so should we OBJ
ject II 1t were heard now. The result
was a blind rage which led to the de-
struction Of several cathedral organs,
and to a law that all organs should
be removed from churches; and as this
is popular knowledge, it has gradually
developed a legend that the Puritans
objected to all music, and that the art
was prohibited during the Common
wealth. Several musical historians
have stated or implied so much, but it
is an absolute and unqualified false
hood.
The practice of secular music was in
no way interfered with; and not only
Cromwell, Milton, Whitelocke. but al
so Hutchinson and others of the lead
ing Puritans were among the best
amateurs Of the day. And they were
not exceptions. Milton, in "Areopagi-
tica," (1644,) writing in Puritan Lon
don, says that lutes. violins, and gui-
tars were to be found "in every
house" Only the Quakers objected to
music in itself; and the art was -four
