DOG TIGHT GATES.
Precautions Taken because Ours
MuHt Not ne Killed BY Prus-
sian Railways.

According to recent decision Of a
Prussian court the railroads in that
country must have dog-tight crossing
gates or stand liable for any canine In
juries resulting from failure to do so,
says Law Notes. Some time ago, while
the gates were closed at n railroad
crossing in Munster, an aristocratic
hunting dog, in the active pursuit of his
vocation, eluded the obstacle and struck
the track Mt that point simultaneously
with an express train. The train passed
on unscathed, but the dog had to be
picked up with sponge.
In 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 IL
the dog was so ill-mannered as to climb
over or crawl under In the face of such
manifest desire to exclude him, then
the blame was with his master. The
court, however, held that 1t was the
duty of the railroad to keep the dog or
its tracks, and appointed experts to de-
tcrmine whether the barriers provided
We're reasonably calculated to prevent
the passage of unwary dogs. They re-
ported adversely to the defendant, and,
after further reference to experts in
canine pedigree to determine the value
ofthe deceased, the plaintiff was award
cd $50, with interest from the date Of
the catastrophe.

TOLLS PAID IN HoRsEsHoEs
survival OF a Curious Old Custom
building Up "A Remarkable Col
lection in England.

One of the most curious surviyals of
the custom of paying tolls exists at
oakham castle, in Rutlandshire. From
very ancient times whenever peer OF
the realm rides by the place he is re-
qured by the constable of the castle
to contribute horseshoe in lieu of
fine. These are then hung upon the
walls of room in the cnstle, which is
thought TO have been formerly used us
a chapel. The custom still obtains,
though nowadays noblomen who pass
through the town generally contribute
shoes of some precious metal, richly
decorated and bearing their coat-of-
arms. Quite lately the earl OF 0nslow
forwarded to j. L. Whitehouse, the con.
stable OF Oaltham castle, new horse
shoe, richly decorated, bearing the in
scription William Hitler, Fourth
Earl of Onslow."
Another nobleman who was driving a
tendem through the town short time
ago was called upon for the customary
shoe. When il arrived II was found t1
be Of pure gold and beautifully chased,
1t is now one of the most interesting OBJ
iects in the collection.

ARMY OFFICERS AT FIFTEEN.
Thnt Is the Age of Some of the Youth
full COIOneIs on AEuinRI-
dos STAFF.

From the American point of view
the insurgent leaders over in the Phil
ippines are all pack of boys" says
Louis Rodriguez, the Filipino, now re-
siding In New Orleans, who has applied
for the position of stenographer on
Gen. Otis staff, according TO the New
Orleans TimesD Democrat. 1T may sur
prise you to know that their average
age is between Is and 10, know near
ly all of them personally and many of
them are the sons of our old friends
and neighbors, so am not at all likely
to be mistaken. There is hardly a ma
tive officer in Aguinaldo's whole com
mnHd who has reached 80, and very
few who are over 25. know positively
that some of the colonels and minor
officers are boys between is and 19.
at should be borne in mind, however,
that young people mature much more
rapidly in that tropical climate than
they do in this country. There IS Is re-
gurded as an age of discretion and re-
sponsibilty, and not few marry even
younger. Severe, long-continued eX-
ertion is impossible in the latitude of
Manila and man of 35 ought to be pro-
vided against future wants. To that
end he has to begin early. Aguinaldo
chose boys for his officers because he
was shrcwd enough to appreciate the
military value Of the enthusiasm of
youth"

The London Field tells this story; A
rat was caught alive on board British
naval vessel in trap, and the beast was
thrown from the trap into the water
without being killed. A large gull that
was following in the wake of the ship
to pick up scraps of food thrown over
board by the steward swooped down
several times, endeavoring to pick the
rat up. Once the bird got too close to
the rats jaws, and the beast grabbed 1t
by the neck, After a short fight the rat
succeeded in killing the bird. When the
gull was dead the rat scrambled upon
the birds body, and, hoisting one wing
as sail and using the other as a rudder,
succeeded in steering for the shore.
Whether the rat reached shore or not is
the question, since the ship soon got out
of sight of the skipper and its craft.

PRETTY REGULAR.
Little Deviation from Schedule Time
I'm Mails Between New York
and London.

The reliability of the law of averages
is strildngly shown in the carrying of
the mails between London and New
York. This service has been In the
hands of an American line of steamers.
The returns to parliament for the year
1894 indicated remarkable degree of
regularity.
The distance from st. Martin's-le-
Grand-the site of the London post of
fice--by way of st. Paul's churchyard
and Blackfriar's bridge, to Waterloo
station, and thence by rail to the ships
side at southampton, is s1h miles;
from the dock ut Southampton to the
pier at New York, the distance Is 1909
nautical miles, and it is assumedthat
the New York post office is half a mile
farther-total distance, S,613h statute
miles.
The mails carried by the City of
Paris and by the City of New York, re-
spectively, covered this great distance
on an average, outward from. London,
in seven days, six hours and IS minutes,
while the inward journey to London
was made, on an average, in seven days,
six hours and So minutes. This regu-
larity was secured against all deten-
tions in the crowded streets of the two
cities, the difference in sailing routes
across the ocean, and the chances OF
fogs, storms and icebeFgs on the At
lantic.

Three Vermonters Appointed.

In President McKinley's list of appoint
ments for the volunteer service are found the
names of three Vermonters G. M. Brownell
to be captain, A. M. Mason 1st lieutenant
and Sanford f. Worthington ID lieutenant.
Cornelius M. Brownell is about q years of
age and is member of the influential Brown
ell family of Burlington. He holds respon-
sible position with the wholesale drug house
of Wells, Richardson & Co. During the
Spanish-American war he commanded Com
pany M, the swell Vermont company, at
Chickamauga. When the paymaster reached
the camp this company was selected out of
30 regiments there to guard the government
funds. At the close of the war, Captain
Brownell was called before the investigating
committee and created no end OF q sensation
by the manner in which he scored his super
ior officers for incompetency. He was also in.
terested in petition to have Lieut.. Col.
Mimms removed from the command of the
regiment. Later he acquired much publicity
through a newspaper controversy into which
he was drawn with Harry Dow of Rutland.
Sanford K. Worthipgton is resident of
Bennington, and employed in factory there.
Previous to the Spanish American war he
had been member of Company X, Vermont
National Guard, but for certain reasons had
left the company. When war broke out he
enlisted; and was made second lieutenant
over the heads of all the non-commissioned
officers. At Chickamauga he was in COM
| mand of the company much of the time ow-
| ing to the injury of the first lieutenant and
illness of the captain. At the muster-out OF
| the First Vermont he returned to his home
in Bennington, and resumed work in the
factory.
