The Bark Explained.

A gentleman had left his dog at his sis.
ter's while abroad for a few months, and
ON his return the animal was so excited
that he was not surprised to hear him
barking in the night. The barking was
SO persistent that the owner put on his
dressing gown to go down stairs and pat
Rover on the head to soothe him. He was
no sooner in bed again than the noise re-
commenced. So he made another journey
to point out, with some asperity, that the
repetition of the offense would call down
serious consequences upon the delinquent.
He was just doing when the barking
started more furiously than ever and con-
tinued until he made third journey with
the walking stick.
Soon after, the disturbance began once
more. Fortunately the gentleman was
too sleepy to get up again, and at last he
went off to sleep, vowing to sell the dog
next day. When the morning came, how
ever, his sister hoped that he had not been
reused by the barking Other new parrotl
1t was always initiating the dog at night,
she said.-Chicago News.

African Currency.

In Africa there are several varieties Of
unusual money. The following incident
gives an example of one mode of using
currency: ..,5.. ..,,......s.
In west Africa there was an Industrious
king, Kamrasi by name, of the Wanyoro
tribe, He sent off an. expedition provided
with 800 paajembe, q kind Of iron spade
money. The expenditure of 2 majembe
per diem would provide fortheexpedition.
With them was carried a magic horn,
which protected them from danger.
East central Africa furnishes another
form of spade, or hoe money made of ham
mered iron. This is made and used by
the Bari tribe, who trade with PEG
pie from the interior. This hoe is of no
practical use, except as a portable form of
exchange, after barter being converted
into weapons and ornaments. At Urus,
central Africa, is another form of cur
rency in the shape of a fiat cruciform in
got of copper, 9A inches in length.
Spears formed a currency in use near
Stanley Falls as recently as 1895 The
iron spear DIS very well made. In the shaft
is an ornament. The whole thing is feet
inches in length and could well be used
as a weapon. 1t is q recognized currency
at Lower Lomamu. A smaller, object is
from the same district, of a graceful shape,
but of no use except as money.-Good

GENTLEMAN JACK.
4 Short story of a Mining Camp In
Nevada.

They called him Gentleman Jack.
He came to the mining camp at Vir-
ginia City one summers day and asked
the superintendent for work. The miner
looked at his questioner's white hands,
frail figure and neat fitting clothes and
smiled. But the man insisted, and finally
the superintendent consented to allow
him to remain.
That night, when the miners returned to
camp, the newcomer was introduced to
them as Jack, the only name he gave His
companions smiled as the superintendent
had smiled, and one, turning TO his fell
lows, said, Gentleman Jack"
Jack took his place in the mines and
performed his share of the labor His
comrades gradually came to respect the
man who, evidently unaccustomed to the
life they led, yet adapted himself to the
conditions as they knew them. Time and
time again they sought to assist him, but
he would not permit it. Neither did he
talk of himself. Once they happened to
hear him refer to Chicago, and it was I'M
derstood it was his former home.
Six months passed The miners were
one day using dynamite to remove tho
rock. After the explosion Jack was found
lying on the ground, crushed by the
weight of huge bowlder. Tenderly they
bore him to the hillside. They thought
him dead The blood oozed down his
pallid face His eyes were closed. AS
they stood about him the eyelids raised,
and smile spread over his features fol-
lowed quickly by terrible look of pain.
His lips quivered, and, bending low, his
comrades heard murmur of words.
Mother, 1 have not forgotten" was
what he said, and then, in long drawn,
suffering sounds followed the words, "Our
Father-which art in aforementioned
be thy name-thy will-be-done-on-
! earth-as''- And then, though the lips
continued to move, no sound was audible.
Those who watched knew, however, that
the prayer was finished.
The eyes again closed, the stained,
bruised lips smiled-Gentleman Jack
was dead Who he was his comrades did
not know. But somewhere waiting

TRAINING A CHILD.
The Way to Do Ii According to Froe-
beI-and others.

"Well," said Mrs. Cruiser emphatically
as her spouse looked up from his evening
paper, Il have all along commended,
Stephen, that the methods you use to rear
John are obsolete, and not only obsolete,
but calculated to ruin the boy. Everlasting
nagging will never make him the man we
both want him to be. "
But, Mary" protested Mr.. Cruiser,
with look of mild surprise on his coun-
tenance, Il am sure
Don't interrupt me, please. l have
just been reading one of those excellent
books by Froebel the great educator. If
you would only follow his advice, stephen,
