This morning Mr.. Ike Jones was
telling a party about the accidental
killing of a valuable pet bird dog
belonging to the family, and which,
he said, was the smartest dog he
ever saw-possessing almost hui
man telligence. The dog had his
faults, like all dogs, and his great
est fault was that he would chase
rabbits when out on a bird hunt.
And this indirectly brought about
his death, for while Mr.. Henry
Jones and a gentleman friend were
hunting hear Glidden a rabbit
jumped up and this dog gave
chase. Mr.. Jones called the dog
back and, intending to fire a shot
over the dog to scare it, he accident
ally hit the dog and killed it. The
mortally wounded brute limped
up to his master, laid down at his
feet, looked up in his face as much
as To say. "You didn't intend to do
it" and died.-Columbus Tribune.

Chinese Tea Transported Through Russia
 The Siberian News. of Tomsk. is one of the few newspapers published in Si- beria, and gives some interesting par ticulars in regard to the transportation of Chinese tea through Russia. The Tomsk newspaper says proudly that in the first twenty days of last January no less than 19,000 sleighs loaded with tea passed through the Siberian city Every sleigh carries usually five bales of tea, packed in OK skin, each weigh ing from 100 to 160 pounds. The men sleep on the sleighs during the trip across Siberia, which lasts nearly one year. It would be shorter to send the Chinese tea by sea; but in this case the custom house duties are high, while they are comparatively small on tea imported by the land route. Russian merchants, who have long had most of the European tea business in their hands, are greatly disturbed over the great growth in public favor of the Ceylon teas which are distributed from London.

Tortured spanish Prisoners.

In view of the inquiry which it is understood has been granted by the Spanish government into the charges of torturing prisoners in the casemates of Montjuich, in Spain, it may be of interest to set out some of the items in the indictment made against the authorities. It is said, in the first place, that a reward of 10000 pesetas was offered to any jail official who could extort an aYoWal of guilty from a prisoner. Acting under this stimu- Jus the jaiIers are stated to have forced the wretehed creatures under their control to run round their cells day and night for eighty hours at a stretch, heavy whips being used to keep the victims awake. The officials are also said to have deprived them of all food save salt stock fish and ardent spirits, confession being the price of a glass of water. Not a few paid it, saked their thirst. and, it is contend ed, were summafily shot. It is further alleged that wedges were driven under the nails of the prisoners with ham, mers and allowed to remain until the nails sloughed away. Even more hor- rible mutilations are stated not to have been uncommon. One of the most cruel devices was, it is affirmed a machine like a divers helmet. fitted with a tube allowing the victim to breathe, while a screw compressed slowly the sides and top thus pfoduc- ing inconceiyable agony. One pris- oner. Morass is stated to have under gone this torture more than once, and to have been driven mad by it.
