DOG EDUCATION IN CHICAGO.

Bozzie II, a dog, we'll known in
Chicago for its remarkable intelli-
gence, astonished a party of school
teachers at the Rowland club lunch
con recently, by doing intricate sums
and spelling words, by barks, of
course. Its master, who was present,
did not take part in the tests, the
sums and words being put to Bozzie
by educators who never saw her be-
FORE For instance, one teacher ask
ed the dog the result of multiplying
q by 8, adding 2, dividing and SUBJ
tracing I, and Bozzie barked six
times. The dog did sums of this
sort until the teachers became tired.
They then placed figures upon a
piece of paper and the dog barked the
proper numbers. Her master did not
see the figures in any case.
The spelling was done by barking
as many times as there were letters in
the word. The teachers couldn't un-
derstand how Bozzie barke1 for mute
letters as we'll as for the other, but
her master explained that the dog
took no account of the spoken letters,
but only of their numbers. The
teachers were perplexed over the feat
and sent the owner out of the room,
but Bozzie barked correctly just the
same. The owner has a half sister
of Bozzie which he believes is still
more wonderful.

ONE OF woMEN's WAYS.

Most women hate to spend new
money" says an observant salesman.
"I haven't the faintest idea why this
should be so, but I've noticed it often
right here in the store.
A woman will make purchase
and pull out her purse to pay the bill,
but it she happens to have to part
with clean, crisp note in making UP
the amount she looks greatly annoy
ed. I've seen women with fat wads
of bright brand new bills fustered
when they came to pay for purchases
because they hadn't sufficient old
money to meet the charges. They
would dig out the contents of their
purses and stow the crisp notes to one
side, and if they couldn't scrape up
the sum. In few cases I've known
them to go out without buying.
"Others will give utterance to lit
tie feminine exclamations of dismay
and will hastily pay for the articles
selected in new money. Then they
will march off with quite a show of
indignation, just as if they had been
inveigled into spending the money.
"I know one man who always takes
his salary home in beautiful, clean
certificates. He has caught on to
this popularity of the sex, and he
says it saves him all kinds of money"

rHE HAPPY FARMER AND THE CITY MAN.

Oh, the happy, happy farmer, who lives seven
miles from town,
Has no furnace in the basement that must now
He doesn't have to hurry out to catch the train,
and then
Work behind desk and worry as the slave of
No superior berates him for the small mistakes
he makes.
He is notdenied employment for some little rule
And he needn't. when he's weary from the duties
of the day,
Hurry to some distant station, dodging footpads
on the way.
Oh. the happy, happy farmer, he just hustles out
And goes shivering for the kindling, which he
Then. while He' nav Is getting breakfast, he runs
out to milk the cows
And to pry the frozen hay up from dusty, musty
mOws:
Oh, he milks away at Bossy, and his hands are
cracked and sore.
But he thinks with kindly pity of the pale clerk
And he curries dow the horses, and. at last, all
In to BREAKFAST with odor of the stable in his
nose.
Oh, the happy. happy farmer doesn't have to pay
To landlord who is heartle when he comes to
The luckIess clerk is worr ed when some other
man than he
Is promoted to station where he knows he
And his wife-his poor wife-nags him just be-
cause she cannot fly
To perch beside some neighbor who is roosting
rather high;
He must walk an aisle from morning till they
close the doors at night,
And goes home to find the water in the laundry
frozen tight.
Oh, the happy. happy farmer wades in snow up
to his knees
Out to where the wintry demons have been over
turning trees,
And he chops and nearly freezes while the mad
winds howl away,
And the echoes of his mauling ring among the
trees all day;
The gets in his boot tops and the frost bites
at his ears,
While the noises he produces are the only sounds
he hears.
And at night he thaws the pump loose and goes
out to do the chores,
Where the snow. in long, thin ridges, filters
through the stable doors.
Oh. the happy, happy farmer, what careless
life he leads
Instead of always buying, he just raises what he
needs;
His neighbors don't ignore him if he's not as
rich as they
All he has to do his work and keep the old gray
wolves away:
The coal man and the plumber never crowd him
to the wall
He just keeps forever paying for farm imple-
ments, that's all;
And at night he needn't dress and blow three
dollars for the treat
OF beholding q performance that's worth fifty
cents seat. -Chjcago Times Herald.

HOW DIAMONDS BREAK.

Secretary Harry Pullman, of the
Pittsman Baseball Club, who has been
in this city on a visit for some time,
smashed and utterly destroyed $500
diamond at the Louisville Hotel. IT
was such an accident as will not hap
pen to diamond once in ten thou
sand times, so Mr.. Pullman feels that
it is outrageous fortune" with a
vengeance.
Anywhere but in Louisville" he
said, 1t wouldn't have happened
old hard-luck Louisville" and he
thought of the erstwhile Colonel's
long years of struggling in the Ma
tional League against the baseball
demon of i'll luck. The stone was
set in ring which had been given
him by the members of the Pittsburg
team. 1t was of the fiery white va
riety, and for its size-a little more
than two carets-was unusually val
liable and handsome, The gold claws
which held the stone in place were
heavy, and one would suppose would
have given the stone ample protection
against any injury it might receive in
fall. Mr.. Pullman was bathing at
the time. He had had his hands in
warm water, and the ring was stillon
his finger. He started to take it off
and had withdrawn it from his finger
when it slipped and fell from his
grasp to the marble floor of the bath
room. 1t happened to strike at the
one point necessary to cause its des-
truction. However, the fall would
not have affected it in the least were
it not for the fact that the gem was
warm and the marble floor was cold.
The conditions were just right for
such an accident, and the stone fall
ing on the fatal point was shattered
and ruined. 1t was split in two as
evenly as if 1apidary had done the
work. The upper part was still held
in place by the gold claws, while the
lower half lay against the base of the
settings.
G. P. Kendrick, who saw the ring
after the accident, said that he had
in his whole experience as a jeweler
heard of three such cases, and that
such accidents to diamonds were gen.
orally rare.
"About twenty-five years ago a
Louisville woman broke large dia-
mond in identically the same man
ner. She was washing her hands in
warm water, and let the ring fall on
a cold surface of some kind. Some
years ago saw another case of the
kind in the Hoffman House lobby in
New York. A gentleman took a
stone valued at about 81, 900 from
his wallet to show some Of his friends.
It slipped from his hands and fell to
the marble floor. It was literally
shattered. Mr.. Pullman could have
hit that diamond of his with a ham
mer hundred times and it wouldn't
have made any impression lspsHaiitr
A skilled lapidary can take diamond
and after close study can determine
its grain. Then by slight blow can
chip it in the direction he wishes.
Mr.. Pullman's ring SO happened to
fall on the grain and was just at the
right temperature to smash. Louis

IN THE WHITE HOUSE.

The country has read with much
satisfaction that the late President
Mckinley managed to accumulate at
least S25o, 900 during his lifetime of
hard work and incessant activity to
leave for the support of those depen-
dent upon him. The amount is small
gauged by modern standards of
wealth and particularly so in COM
parison with the fortunes accumula-
ted by many persons less industry,
ability and real worth in mercantile
and industrial pursuits.
The sum mentioned is much higher
than the average accumulations of our
chief magistrates. Several of these
have died poor and insolvent. Some
through an apparent lack of saving
habit and others through misfortunes
in business. Among them were James
Monroe. Thomas Jefferson, Andrew
Jackson, John Adams and General
Grant. Jefferson owned large es-
tate in Virginia and other property at
one time, but lost it all and died COM
paratively poor. johnson was rated
to be worth $50, 900 when his presi-
dental term expired, but he lost near
1y all of it through the failure of the
Freedman's bank.
The illustrious statesman who was
"frst in war, first in peace" etc.,
was also the first of our Presidents in
point of wealth, considering the pur-
chasing power of the standard cur
rency of his day. At his death Wash
ington's estate was valued at $780,
900. President Arthur's wealth was
estimated at $500, 900, but he would
hardly be considered as rich man as
Washington, for all this difference.
Buchanan ranks pretty high in this
regard, with a fortune amounting to
$3.50, 900, which he left to nieces and
nephews. Mrs. Polk was left with
about $I5o, 900 and Mrs. Garfield
$40, 900. Martin Van Buren helped
to bring up the average with the
handsome sum of 5000, 900, which he
continued to save from business in
vestments, but not from his salary as
President. John Tyler left the White
House as he went into it-a compara-
lively poor man, but with enough to
live in comfort.
The same might be said of John
Adams and also of Millard Fillmore,
but the latter became wealthy through
a second marriage. Franklin Pierce's
property was valued at $50, 900, and
he left no one to inherit it. Madison
was accounted rich among the men
of his day, but his money was squan-
dered by Mrs. Madison's son, Payne
Todd, and the widow became a poor
woman. How much Grover Cleve-
land had managed to accumulate at
the end of his second term no one
really knows. He is now estimated
to be worth about $3.50, 900. These
facts speak volumes in favor of the
sterling honesty of men conspicuous
in American public life. = Leslse's
Weekly.

THE HEIGHT TO WHICH BIRDS FLY.

The aeronaut Hergesall, Of Strass-
burg, saw, in one of his ascensions,
an eagle at height of 5000 metres,
and in another, two storks and buzz
zard at goo metres. Larks have been
seen at 1000 metres and crows at
400. But these are exceptional
heights. Birds are rarely seen above
1000 metres, and very few above
400. Birds have been released from
balloons at heights varying from 600
to 1000 metres. In clear atmos-
phere they flew directly downward,
remaining near the balloon, however,
if the sky were cloudy. Pigeons
were released from a balloon thirty
miles away from home in cloudy
weather. The first pigeon returned
home in three hours, the second in
four and the last took nearly a day.
In clear weather they reached home
from that distance in about three
quarters of an hour.

JACK KISSED HER.

Jack-don't you envy him kissed her
While taking walk in the square
So sweet she, he couldn't resist her,
And ought she, you fancy, to care?
And should she be mad as a hatter2
Or should she have given it back2
Or should she pass over the matter,
And say: "Oh, twas Jack; only Jack! J"
Is the hue of her cheeks indication
OF furious anger, or not?
Or due to some slight irritation
Ger choosing so public spot2
Were she kissed in the hall, would she mildly
Protest: "Please be good-there's papa!'
And is she now speeding on, wildly,
To seek her protecting mamma?
Is Jack to be blamed for his action?
Are you holding him deep in disgrace?
Supposing he saw distraction
OF "Try, If you like" on her face!
I'll add, as the close of my ditty,
Ere spinsters regard her as lost.
And gossips deplore: what pity -
That Jack-clever Jack-was Jack Frost.

WATER PUMPED BY THE SUN.

Professor E. B. Cowgirl, editor of
the Kansas Farmer, has contracted
with the Solar Motor Company. of
Boston, for a solor engine which will
be put at work upon his ranch hear
Great Bend, by April 1st, pumping
water for irrigation purpose. The
Kansas Farmer gives an illustrated
description of the solor motor. In
appearance it is like a huge umbrella
lined with looking-glasses and in
verted with its mouth toward the sun.
In this umbrella are 1888 mirrors,
which take up and concentrate by re-
Election $40 square feet of effective
sunshine upon given point. At this
point is a boiler filled with water, and
the concentrated rays of the sun
quickly make steam in this boiler,
which is then carried to an ordinary
steam engine. At sunrise the ref1ec
tor is faced toward the sun. A clock
is then started, which moves it with
the sun, keeping the reflections at all
times bearing upon the boiler. Means
are provided for casting the reflections
to one side when steam is not wanted
but, if the operator so wishes, the
motor will operate from sun-up till
sundown with no attention save that
of Cling. The Santa Fe Railroad is
said to have ordered number of
these motors to be used in pumping
water at different places in Califor-
MIA. A motor which has been at work
near Pasadena for more than a year
is able to lift 400 gallons of water
every hour, work requiring about
eleven horsepower. Professor Cow
gill says one of these machines placed
under the hot sun of Western Kansas
will irrigate at least 200 acres of land.
1t is proposed, when the machine is
in operation at his Great Bend farm,
to call meeting of all those interest
ed with the view of considering wheth-
er or not the problem of Western ir-
rigation has at last been solved.

HOW TO MEASURE CORN, HAY, &C.

This rule will apply to a crib any
size or kind. Two cubic feet of good,
sound, dry corn in the ear will make
a bushel of shelled corn. To get,
then, the quantity of shelled corn in
a crib of corn in the ear, measure the
length, breadth and heigth of the
crib, inside Of the rail multiply the
length by the breadth and the pro-
duct by the height then divide the
product by two, and you have the
number of bushels of shelled corn in
the crib.
To find the number of bushels of
apples, potatoes, etc.. in a bin multi
ply the length, breadth and thickness
together, and this product by eight,
and point off one figure in the pro-
duct for decimals.
To find the amount of hay in a
NOW, allow 5I2 cubic feet for a ton,
and it will come out very generally
correct.
