In the Low Lying Portion of the City
Prepared for the Water.
K All day long yesterday the mer-
chants in wholesale districts whose
places of business are in the low
LYING districts of the central portion
OF the city had every available man at
work moving goods out of the cellars.
The business men along Water street
from Eleventh to Fourteenth, whose
cellars can be reached by a thirty five
foot stage, were all moved up early in
the afternoon. On the square bounded
by South, Main and Fourteenth streets,
where many of the largest wholesale
houses in the city are located, looked
very much like a New Orleans leyee,
especially on South street east of the
B. C o. freight depot. Boxes and bar
Lrels blocked the sidewalks and in q
number of instances were piled in the
street. Some merchants on the east
side of Main street took the precau-
ton to move all their goods out OF
the cellars, but it is hardly probable
that the water will attain height
sufficient to reach the cellar level.

Hundreds of people visited the wharf
! yesterday, commencing early in the
morning and continuing until late at
night Some contented themselves
with viewing the water from the curb,
but others visited the row of stones on
the wharf and tried to find some mark
on them that would indicate the stage
of water Nine times out OF ten they
were disappointed, as about one out of
every ten marks is legible, and they
went away vowing vengeance on the
wharf committee.
Much drift passed during the day and
caused some delay in the boats and
forced the ferry TO tie up. The water

Handle depot early in the afternoon.

Our buttermakers, NJ. j. Goodnow
OF this city and w. J. Lancelot of the
Washington township, Carroll coun-
ty creamery are somewhat elated over
the result of the butter test at the
State Fair. M. j. Goonow's butter
scored 95 points and w. j. Lancelot
953 points. This, considering the
temperature of late and the state of
the milk during fly time is excellent
and we do not wonder that the boys
feel good.

everything going smoothly and har-
moniously. There was plenty OF in
nocent amusement and all report lots
of fun. The receipts were SIG Os and
the net proceeds, SILL. The society
has been striving bravely to meet its
obligations before conference and this
almost leaves them free, only a few
dollars remaining unpaid, which they
are determined shall be cancelled.

Playtime In the sena,-.


Senator Butler once had a bill appro-
priating $4,000 to build a monument on
the NIoore's Creek battlefield, North
Carolina, which was an especial object
of Senator Wolcott's fun.
"Can the senator tell me the date Of
the battle?" he asked Mr.. Butler.
ut was the first battle of the Revo-
luton, 20 days before the battle of
Lexington" was the reply.
"But cannot the senator tell me the
day and the yearY persisted Mr.. VOL
cott
Mr.. Butler was stumped. 81 can tell
the senator tomorrow" he finally re-
marked
"Then," replied Mr.. Wolcott, ST will
let my objection stand until tomorrow
also"
A few minutes later Senator Wolcott
relented. and Mr.. Butler made another
effort to get the appropriation agreed
to. This time it was Senator Lodge
who objected.
ooh, don't object, Lodge" said VOL
colt in stage whisper; he'll put the
date of the battle forward year if
you are Jealous on account of Lexing
ton"
But Mr.. Lodge continued to object
and the monument bill remained on the
MISUNDERSTANDING Post.

The shortnes. ot Life.

What always strikes one so forcibly
i5. l think. the shortness Of human
life, compared with other works Of
nature. The longest life-how short
1t is! And half of it one can hardly call
life, being spent in sleep, which is
not real existence.
a French preacher l heard once
brought the shortness of life strongly
before me by relating in his sermon
how a saint, in olden days, wishing to
impress on himself the rapidity of life's
race, when he came to years of dis
cretion, placed so marbles in glass
jar, each marble to represent year Of
human life, taking so years as an out
side limit very far exceeding that.
Then, taking another glass jar, from
the first one he took the number of
marbles representing the years he had
already passed, and placed them in the
empty JAR and then year by year ex-
tracted a marble from the other, till,
more rapidly than he could have
dreamed, the two jars contained 40
marbles each. Then still more swiftly
did each year seem to speed away, and
what had so short time before been
the full jar became the nearly empty
one, till three, two and then only one
marble remained, and life, which
had looked SO long at starting, had
swiftly and silently melted away.-C.

TRAINING WATcHDoGs.
The Method That Is Used by Ger
man Instructor.

Hssh hhStTuCloTs
Although it is generally believed that
watchdogs are Ito the manner born"
it seems that certain amount of train
ing helps very much to turn out real.
ly good one. This system of training
has developed into regular business
in Berlin, where one Herr Straus has
an academy from which watchdogs
are turned out by the hundred every
year.
His system is educational and is ap.
piled to almost every kind of dog. He
first teaches the animal obedience by
training it to perform certain tricks"
at command and then trains it to dis.
tinguish between visitor and bur.
glar and what part of mans body
should be attacked to render the man
helpless.
Outside of the gate the trainer places
dummy representing the burglar. and
to the latch is attached string. BY
means of the string the gate is opened
slowly, until the head of the dummy
becomes visible, when the dog is
taught to fly at it's throat. Herr Straus
is very particular about this. He makes
his dogs attack the throat or the upper
part of the body always. Sometimes a
real man well padded takes the place
of the dummy, and Of course he is well
paid for his services.
All dogs, it seems, may be made good
watchdogs, but the St. Demands and the
Russian wolfhounds are the best where
property of great value is to be guard
ed. For dogs not so fierce as they are
a different system of training is used.
They soon learn to guard anything
committed to their care, but are not so
quick to attack an intruder as the
fiercer dogs are.-Philadelphia Times.

Horseshoes are Of uncertain date and
have caused some discussion among
military historians. Nailed shoes were
not known by the Greeks. for Keno
phon gives minute instructions for
hardening the hoof. Nor did the Ro-
mans use them. Nero had mules shod
with plate of silver fastened by
crossed thongs to the hoof. With Pop
paa. his later wife, it is said these
plates We're of gold. The earliest posi-
tive evidence of nailed shoes is fur
nished by the skeleton of horse found
