PATIENT AND USEFUL.
In the Rocky Mountain Country the
Hardy Little Burro Is the Set
tiers Rest Friend.

| Travellers to mountainous countries
are sure, sooner or later, to make the
acquaintance of those patient and long
suffering beasts of burden-mountain
burros. OF phenomenal strength on
the scantiest supply of food, the burro
is an important factor in the develop
ment of new countries. 1t can go where
the railroad cannot, and its footing is
secure when that of the horse and OK
would be uncertain. The load one of
these little creatures can carry is as
tonishing. The illustration shows one
with nearly cord of wood on its back
and this writer has seen one of the
most diminutive of these little crea-
lures going slowly but surely up per-
ilous trail in the Rocky mountains with
a cooking stove, bedstead, bedding, two
chairs, three valises, a small trunk and
a number of pots, pans and kettles and
tinware of all sorts on its back. 1t is
not uncommon to see them setting
forth on a long journey with a barrel
of flour strapped on either side and
other freight on their backs. One
meets long trains of them in the Rocky
mountains coming down from mines
at the very SUBMITS of the mountains
with hundreds of pounds of stout cam
vas bags on their backs Indeed, it
would be almost impossible to develop
some mines were it not for the assist
ance Of the donkey in carrying.supplies
to the mines and in carrying the ore
away, 1t is almost impossible to get

selves. Blows, kicks and curses are of

Tallow Candles as Medicine.

In France the peasantry still stick to
medicines calculated to turn the aver
age Doctors hair gray with horror.
Wine is an ingredient of every prescrip-
ton. In fever cases it is always the
predominant one. The French peas
ants faith in fermented grape juice is
truly beautiful. If his children are
stricken with the measles he gives them
beakers of wine, well sweetened with
honey and highly spiced with pepper.
For a severe cold he administers quart
of red wine and a melted tallow candle
mixed. For scarlet or brain fever he
gives eggs. white wine and SCOT well
beaten together, Not all their super
stitions are curious; some are pathetic.
A mother, for instance, often buries her
dead child with its favorite toy, or
lock of her own hair in the coffin, "that
it may not feel quite alone"

The Largest THERMOMETER.

Biggest of all thermometers in the
world is the one which Col Knight is
placing in the ground at Harestock,
Winchester, Mass, 1t is 20 feet long,
nearly twice the length of the long
est ever made. The object of sinking
such shaft into the earth is to take the
temperature of the earth at that depth.
To lower the thermometer it is neces-
sary to put up scaffolding at least 70
feet high. The instrument was raised
by means of steam cranes, and then
lowered carefully into the 7o-foot hole
which had been dug for it. The Their
mometer is made on the same principle
as the household ones, but, because Of
its size, several unusual difficulties had
to be overcome.

no avail. Thus fast. and no faster will
they go. 1t is impossible to think of
them as running away" under any
provocation, and even 'shying" is not
one of his weaknesses. He is as stupid
as he is faithful, and in his infinite pa
thence is due more to lack of spirit than
TO anything else. He is Joy to chill
dren, and will submit to any sort of
indignity from them, while he will not
only carry double" but even treble,
and if half dozen boys and girls could
get on to his back at once he would
carry them all, but the combined eff
forts of the six could not induce him to
go faster than his regular and snail
like gait.
The only time that the burro gives ev-
idence of having a slumbering lion in
his breast is when he wages warfare
against one of his own species. He
fights spiritedly and fiercely. What
calls forth these encounters is mys-
terry, but two of these little creatures
will sometimes sail in" and fight fu-
riously, using their teeth and heels
with powerful effect. When the battle
is ended they lapse back into their ut
ter lethargy and stupidity, and are
nothing but patient plodding beasts
of heavy burdens.-Detroit Free Press.

Dog Called by Telephone.

The Daily Telegraph narrates the fol-
lowing incident: "A lady passenger
who arrived at Redhill by train report
ed in great grief to the station master
that her little pet dog had been left by
accident on the platform at Reigate,
and would likely be either crushed by a
locomotive or lost The courteous Off
cial telephoned through respecting the
poodle, and the answer came imme-
diately that dog of that description
had just been brought into the police
station. The receiver was put to the
dogs ear, and the lady was asked to
speak to it. She did So The effect was
electrical. The dog barked cordial
recognition of the voice, and by its an
tics expressed great desire to jump
into the apparatus and traverse the
wire IN order TO get TO its mistress all

FIGHT WITH WILDCAT.
Hunter Was Getting the Worst of II
Until His Dog Took Part
in the Combat.

William Babeocl, one of the best
known trappers and hunters in Sulli-
van county, N. Y, is the hero of a thrill
ing experience in wildcat hunting. The
many swamps of the county are inhab-
tied by hundreds of these vicious
brutes, and hunters devote the winter
season to shooting and trapping them,
both for tine bounty and the excite
ment. Babcock started out early one
morning with one of his trained dogs
for a little hunt" in Flanagan swamp,
near his home. He had been out but a
short time before the dog had freed
a big wildcat. Babcock soon arrived on
the scene and fired four shots into the
body of the cat, but it did not drop, 1t
was in the crotch of the tree, and the
hunter supposed he had killed it, and
the forks of the tree prevented it from
falling. He accordingly laid down his
gun, and, remov wing his cartridge belt,
started to climb the tree to secure his
prize. When within q few feet of the
brute it emitted scream and shot
through the air. Striking on Babcock's
back, it caused him to loose his hold,
and man and cat went tumbling
through the limbs to the ground.
The wounded and now angered beast
did not for second loose its grip upon
his back, but kept biting him when
they reached the ground The dog was
waiting for them, and, seeing his mas
ter's danger, sprang upon the wildcat
with such ferocity that it let go Of
Babcock and pitched into the dog and
fierce combat ensued. They rolled
over and over. biting and growing,
Babcock all the time being afraid to
shoot lest he should injure his brave
dog. After long struggle the wild
cat, weakened from the loss of blood
from the shots of Babcock's gun, gave
up the fight and was soon finished by
Babcock and the dog. Both the hunter
and the dog arc terribly lacerated from
the claws of the wildcat.-N. Y. Sun.

knowledge is power" and age and
experience brings knowledge If not al

a West side schoolholise recently. when
enc of the boys trapped large gray
rat. At the noon hour he took counsel
with his comrades and they decided to
dispose of the rodent in sportsmanlike
style by giving him chance for his life.
The rat was evidently very old. but he
was also very fierce and quick to resent
any advances made by the boys.
They decided TO hold the exercises in
one of the narrow Railways of the
building. One boy stationed himself
with the trap at one end of the hallway

walls ready to smite the rat as he ran
by them
But when the trap was opened the
willy old animal took the offensive and
charged one of the boys, who imme-
diately danced around and yelled for
help. The others flocked to his rescue
and began pounding the floor and each
others toes in vain efforts to embarrass
the rat When they were thoroughly
mixed the gray-haired hero of many
battles slipped out Of the melee and
scurried down the hall, leaving them to
settle their own disturbance.-Chic
