A FAITHFUL HORSE.
An Instance of Remarkable Devo-
tiOn and Animal
Courage.

Instances of the self-devotion of ami
mails In the service of their masters are
not uncommon, but they generally have
to do with some sudden, instructive
deed of courage. Passive faithfulness
unto death, among beasts as among
men, is the rarest form of self-sacrifice.
The story of the horse of n certain SER
geant in the northwest illustrates the
courage of animals in its noblest form.
Sergt. Parker, member of the Cana
dian mounted police, waited a day or
two after the departure of his men, in
order to receive some government dis
patches, of which he was to be the
bearer. IL was winter on the prairie,
and every trail was hidden beneath the
snow, but as soon as he secured the pa
pers, he pushed on alone, hoping TO re-
join his company by forced march.
BY nightfall he had lost all sense of di-
rection, and when he resumed his jour-
ney next day he felt that his search was
hopeless.
Still the dispatches were important,
and he had been trusted with them.
For six days he wandered about, starv-
ing and frost bitten. Then snow-blind-
ness came upon him, and he lay down
to die.
His faithful horse did not desert him,
but stood like n sentinel at his masters
feet. For a day and night it stood
there, and on the morning of the sec
ond day of it's watch a mail-carrier saw
the motionless figure. He approached
and discovered Sergeant Parker.
1t was nearly fortnight before the
rescued sergeant regained conscious
ness. His first question was after his
horse. The emaciated beast was
brought into the tent where its master
lay, and at once began to lick his face.
Two days later the horse was dead.

PACKING SARDINES.
How an Interesting and Important
New England Industry
Is Conducted.

The packing of small herrings, or, as
they are often called, american sar-
dines," is an important industry in
Maine. In that state there are so fac
tories, which give employment to
large number of hands during four or
five months of the year. The annual
output is estimated to be of an average
value of $3,000,000, and about half of
this amount finds its way into the pock-
cts of the factory employees in the form
Of wages. The fish are caught in
seines scattered all along the coast for
distance of about a hundred miles.
After the fish are taken in sailboats
to the factories they are thrown into
strong brine, where they remain for
some time. They are then laid on iron
crates and conveyed to an immense
oven, where the crates are laid on re-
volving shelves. After 90 minutes cook
ing the fish are ready for packing.
There are two methods of packing, one
In oil, the other in mustard. The
ground mustard is mixed with vinegar;
for oil packing cotton seed oil is used.
About gill of oil is put into can, and
then the baked fish from the ovens are
carefully packed into it and the cover
snapped on. The pans then go TO the
sealer, who sits in front of little fur
mace in which his soldering iron is
plunged. Selling the can, he runs the
heated iron around the cover, holding
the solder just in front of it, and seals
the can so rapidly that the eye can
hardly follow his movements. The
sealed cans are thrown into bath OF
boiling water, in which they remain for
two hours. If any of them leak the
tops will bulge out, and these go back
to be resealed. After the cans are
cleaned with sawdust they are packed
into cases and put on the market as
genuine American sardines in pure olive

Ground Floor bedrooms,

There is danger in the porous charac-
ter of plaster ceilings, which are
often very thin indeed. The ordinary
ceiling Is "only a porous diaphragm
permeable by gases with considerable
freedom" The vitiated air of sitting
rooms therefore frequently finds its
way through into bedrooms. The Brit
ish Medical Journal asks any skeptic
to compare his bodily and mental SEN
sations after sleeping in such n room
and in one situated over similar room
well ventilated and not occupied or
Illuminated by gas during the even
ing" The remedy, it says. is to have
bedrooms on the ground floor and liv-
ing, working and cooking rooms up
stairs. But how about noise ?-London

ADVERTISING.
IL Has RevOIutionized Business and
Benefted Humanity.

Benefted Humanity.
Advertising is indeed one of the great
developments of the age. 1t has revo-
lutionized business and made 1t possi-
BILE to accomplish in few years what
otherwise would have taken genera
tions to compass. Today the advertis-
er, through the medium of the public
press, can introduce his article to the
entire public almost literally at n
bound. Such a servant at the sellers
elbow has naturally made business
vastly different from what it was sew
eral hundred years ago.
1t is no longer necessary, as 1t was
in previous generations, to confiBe
ones commercial transactions to linn
tied area. In fact the manufacturer
of today regards the world as his field,
and there are quite number of pro-
prietary articles, widely and favorably
known in every quarter of the civilized
world, which have been introduced dur
ing the lifetime of their present pro-
prietors, who are men only in the
prime of life
Without advertising, by which it is
possible to reach and influence hun
dreds of thousands of persons simulta-
neously, such n result could not be ac-
complished in several generations. If
indeed it could be accomplished at all
Nor has this advertising benefited the
seller only. 1t has brought to the
knowledge of the buyer the hundreds
of improvements and articles by which
life can be made more pleasant, by
which the health can be preserved, the
palate gratified, the intellect fed and
satisfied.
1t is no exaggeration to say that no
/ force has conduced more to knit the
world closely together nor made our
mutual interdependence more apparent.
1T is but the simple truth to assert"
says a recent writer, that the loss Of
the information which the advertise
ments furnish would be one of the
greatest imaginable misfortunes to civ
ilization."-Self Culture.

CHughf the General.

One of the regular army officers tells
a story of how the old stringent army
regulations once went against General
Scott. One wet afternoon that soldier
was caught in the rain in Washington.
He was in full uniform and was well
known, so, no cab being near, he bor-
rowed an umbrella. Arriving at his
hotel, an under officer approached him
and calmly remarked
General. you will consider yourself

PROPERTY IN HAWAII.
Sugar Planters Are on the Flood Tide
of Fortune and Are Get
ting Rich.

Senator Clark, of Wyoming, who has
been in the Hawaiian islands this sum
mer, speaking of the conditions there,
says:
The sugar planters are on the flood
tide of fortune, for the profits on cane
are heavy, and everybody in the busi-
ness is getting rich. Coffee planting
has not been so profitable, but ] think
that eventually it will be made to pay.
The material development of Hawaii
has been greatly accelerated by annex
alton. Coming under our flag has been
of enormous benefit. 1t has given con-
fidence to the people and the guarantee
of stable government brightens the

royalists are forced to admit that
American supremacy in the islands is
the best thing that could have hap
pened.
