The Hark of Dog.

There is an old saying that when
ever dog barks without any apparent
cause the death Of some human being
in the neighbOrhood Is surely foreshad-
owed. and owing TO an incident which
has Just occurred in Quebec many
credulous persons are inclined to be-
lieve that there must be some truth In
this ancient superstition.
Charles Brulard. a mechanic. 20 years
old. after spending a splendid day in
the country, returned In the evening to
his mothers home, and as he entered
the kitchen he said:
"Do YOU notice how all the neighbors'
dogs are barking tonight? You may
think me queer. but | look on 1t as
warning, and l am sure that l shall
die tomorrow"
His mother tried to reason with him,
but he went TO bed, and next day In
stead Of rising as usual he remained
in his room, and when night came he
died. as he had predicted that he
would. The exact cause OF his death
is unknown, but the general opinion Is
that fear killed him.

UnexpIored Canada.

Onc-third of the Dominion Of Canada
has never been visited by white men.
The unexplored region, much OF which
IS extremely fertile, comprises 1850
600 square miles.
This amazing condition Is officially
announced by the director OF the geo
logical survey Of Canada. There are
many districts hundreds OF miles In
extent without railroads or even postal
facilities. \ considerable portion Of
this unexplored region is uninhabita-
BILE because OF the extreme cold. The
territory exclusive Of this arctic region
includes, however, about 100000
square miles.
During the past year the government
has made unusual efforts to explore
and develop this virgin territory. Spe-
cial efforts are being made to build
railroads, and the government is offer
ing unheard of inducements TO any one
who Will start such an enterprise. Mil
lions Of acres Of land are offered as a
bonus. one road has already been
proposed to be known as the Mani
touln and North Shore railway.

Heat and Butterflies.

Professor Standfuss of Zurich has
been studying the effects Of solar heat
and temperature on butterflies. More
than 10000 butterflies were subjected
to close examination. Some degrees
more or less change the nature and
looks so much that they take on every
appearance of having been born In a
warmer or colder climate. On one &C.
casion, 1t being very cold In Swltzer-
land, a butterfly common there sudden
ly began to look like a butterfly from
Lapland. Others subjected to a higher
solar temperature changed and looked
like butterflies from Corsica or Syria.
The experiments. which are to be con-
tinued, led to the production Of butter
files Of an entirely new type, some be-
ing Of a very beautiful description.

HoId MusollnO.

An amusing anecdote Of the Italian
brigand Musolino's daring and cool ad-
dress is published by the Neapolitan
journals. His father was recently
believed to be dying, and Muse
limo had to adopt n bold stratagem In
order to visit him. He simply despoil-
ed a priest of his ecclesiastical vesture,
which he donned himself. Thus cloth
ed and with his features "doctored' n
little he was able to spend several
hours at his fathers bedside, though
several military senunels were near
the cottage. AS he was leaving he
passed a patrol In search Of himself,
in reply to whose salute he uttered a
fervent God bless you"

NEW SHORT STORIES
CockreII's Lost Check.

Senator Cockrell is out $2l-that IS,
he thinks he Is. but he is not sure.
The circumstances are peculiar.
The senator was member in 1888
OF what is known as the assay com
mittee' by members OF congress. The
function OF that committee, which Is
composed of members Of the house
and senate Is to visit the mint at the
city of Philadelphia. They go into the
vaults where the coin is stored after
being manufactured, and after picking
out coins promlscuously they weigh,
measure and test them 10 determine
whether the specifications of the gov
eminent for their casting have all been
complied with. The work has never
been considered Onerous. and the as
Segment to the committee has been
sought. On the particular occasion re-
ferrcd To the senator AT the close OF the
work in Philadelphia received check
from Mr.. 4. Loudcn Snowdcn for $2i
for his expenses and services rendered.
IL was the night before the return OF
the committee TO Washington, and on
his way to his hotel the senator was
jostlcd and on reaching the hotel
found that he had lost his pocketbook.
The senator has n lingering rec0llec-
ton Of being somewhat backward
about admitting the robbery to his
colleagues and says It Is barely posi-
BILE that he swallowed his loss without
disclosing It. In time the matter pass
ed entirely out Of hiS mind.
But a short time ago II was recalled
to him by the receipt Of letter and a
package sent from Philadelphia. The
letter stated that In tearing down an
old house I'm the tenement district OF
the city a pockctbook was found under
one of the floors. The pocketbook
contained the check for sol The sen
ator took 1t to the treasury depart
ment. and the officials looked up the
records to learn If the amount had
been paid After n search through
many n dusty ledger the officials found
the record OF the check in question,
and an entry showed that 1t had been
presented and paid. The senator says
It is possible that later he had another
check issued in place OF the one which
had been stolen. I'm any event the
check itself makes a souvenir which
he will gladly retain.

CHOICE MISCELLANY
A Fortune Waiting

A fortune awaits the man who VIII
invent a good substitute for leather.
Nobody has yet succeeded in approach
ing II, unless It be an inventor who
has just patented a fabric which he
proposes to use in particular as a ma
terial for the inner soles of shoes and
boots, though it may be employed FOR
other purposes. 1t strongly resembles
what is known as split" sole leather,
but Is much cheaper and claims to be
superior, being waterproof as well as
stronger
The manufacturer OF this imitation
leather uses the fine sole leather dust
given off by the bufting rolls used
upon sole leather. Hitherto this dust
has been Il waste product, but the new
invention combines It with gum and
employs IL in this shape to form n
coating on one or both sides Of canvas
or other similar fabric. AS II dries n
Sprinkling of dry leather dust Is added.
and the fabric thus treated Is passed
between rollers. so as TO cause the
leather dust to be firmly imbedded In
the fabric and combined with 1t.
The result is a material that looks
much Ike leather and is very durable.

College Graduates Increasing.

The graduating lists Of the American
colleges this year show an increase OF
% per cent. 1t seems probable that
all the institutions of learning will
have more than their usual quota Of
students next fall. From time to time
the demand for college men In all
branches of business as well as In the
professions is gradually increasing.
Our colleges graduate men and women
with practical as well as artistic Ideals.
A notion prevails that girls who have
been so fortunate as to complete a
course In college do not make good
wives. This notion is devoid OF COM
mon sense. The more brain a man or
woman can put into his or her work
the better that work will be. This
rule holds as surely in the responsible
work of housekeeping, in social rela-
tons and in domestic economy as In
agriculture, the arts, mechanism, law,
medicine or theology.-Success.

that progress will move cannot now be

desirable to build in thoroughly safe
