be taught to gather flowers for its mas
ter as a certain Gordon setter named
N0rah.is said to do. Her master, Mon
sieur Barbat, writes of her in the
Chasseur Pratique: In June, 1895, in a
walk beside the ponds of Liton, Savoy,
a friend and | tried to reach some wat
er lilies with our canes, but without
success. Seeing still finer blossoms
out in the water, | called Norah. and
threw stones toward them in order to
induce her to go for them. She seem

and coming and going brought flowers
enough to fill the basket. The guards
present could hardly believe their eyes.
The dog lowered her head beneath the
water so as to cut the stems at a GER
tain distance from the flowers. This
same dog was useful to her master in
another way. One winter morning she
entered his study with a stick of wood
held between her jaws. She deposit
cd the wood in the fireplace, went down
the steps and brought another. and
continued her occupation until the
supply of wood seemed to her sufficient,
when she returned to her place by the
fire to enjoy the results of her labor.

Aluminium Bronze.

Aluminium bronze, which is likely to
come more and more into use. is an
alloy composed in Germany of 80 to IS
per cent of aluminium and 5 to 10 per
cent of copper, of golden color, which
keeps well in the air without soon be-
coming duh and changing the color.
1t can be cast eX~cellently, can be filed
well and turned, possesses an eXtraor-
binary hardness and firmness, attains
a high degree of polish and is NAL
leable and forgeable. The technical
working of the material is not essen
TALLY different from that of iron-in
fact, the metal is, especially in a warm
condition, worked like iron on an anvil,
with hammer and chisel, only that the
temperature to be maintained in forg-
ing lies between dark and light cherry
red. In case the articles are not forged
in one piece, and the putting together
of separate parts is a necessity, rivet-
ing, and, in particular soldering have
to be reSorted to, with hard or soft
solder. Besides forging, the bronze is
well suited for enclosing. After fin
ishing the pieces, the metal can be
toned in different ways, as may be de-
sired, by treatment with acid.

The Pail Mall Gazette, having had
access to the official archives of the
custom house at Les Verrieres, pub
fishes the following example of duly
scheduled imports: A missionary was
returning to Basel from Patagonia,
bringing with him, not as the fruits
of his labors, but merely for the pur-
poses of science, a collection of Pata~
gonian skulls. The custom house OF
flcers opened the chest, inspected the
contents, and informed the owner that
the consignment must be classed as
animal bones, and taxed at so much
the pound. The missionary was just
ly indignant; therefore the officials
agreed to reconsider the question.
When the way bill had been revised,
it appeared in the following form:

When Men Die Fastest.

There are q great number of curious
superstitions as to the time Of day
when a dying person is most likely to
draw his last breath, and the tide, the
moon and the wind have all been sup
posed to have some share in the mat
ter. According to the British Medical
Journal, Raseri, who has analysed 25,-
Ala cases of death and 36,515 of birth,
where the exact time of day was not

deaths occar in the early afternoon Ito

In Albert D. Richardson's Beyond

a quarter of a century ago, occurs a
passage which, in the light of recent
events and their Interior possibilities,
seems almost prophetic. He points to
the fact that the Spirit of Progress"
emerging from Egypt and China, has
passed on through Greece and Rome
and Western Europe; across the At
lantic, through jamestown harbor,
owe Plymouth Rock, and on to the Pa

Whether equal suffrage is to be en-
Joyed or merely endured by women, 1t
has been for some years conceded to
them in Wyoming, Colorado, Utah and
Idaho; and just now South Dakota has
come rear to adopting it In the form
of a constitutional amendment. 1t is
noteworthy that in all these new and
sparsely settled communities of the
West the women are much less numer-
Gus than the men, and are probably
the more highly valued for their rar-
ity. In many localities they are chosen
as directors or superintendent of
the schools, and in Idaho two of them
have been elected to the legislature.

Mr.. Stead reports in the London
Daily Chronicle that wherever he goes
in Europe he finds the governing
classes understanding, and to some ex-
tent using, the English language. At
the court of st. Petersburg it is the
household tongue; the car, the car
lisa and their children habitually use
1t in conversation with each other.
There is an old saying that the tongues
of earth are many, but of heaven only
one. Then the growth of language
toward universal use-and the English
language is making it-may well be
reckoned a growth toward the divine

Her Sweet Way of Making Her Grand
daughter Comfortable.
A girl who visits New York frequent
ly stops while in the city with her
grandmother, says the New York
Times. The grandmother is an old
fashioned housekeeper and one thing
upon which she lays emphasis in her
household affairs is regularity. The
meals are always on time and she likes
the members of her family to be ready
promptly. 1t is something of a trial
to her that her granddaughter should
sometimes after a theater party or 9TH
er festivity sleep over breakfast time.
The granddaughter knows this and she
makes a great effort to be up in time
and make up her sleep if she needs it
in the afternoon. The other evening
she had been out very late and grand
mamma sympathized. The child
mustn't try to get up this morning.

Whether it would be we'll to have an
extra session of congress called after
the fourth of March is now a much dis
cussed topic. The present congress,
the Fifty-ffth, and the Fifty-third
were both summoned in extraordinary

grows out of the long period which or
