Doqs Like Jellyfish.

when | was down at Cape May, the
other day" said a clergyman, 81 saw a
dog run up to a big jellyfish that lay
on the sand and begin to cat it
greedily. The dog was a collie, valu-
able animal, evidently. A life guard
rushed up, and, with a kick, drove it
away from it's horrible repast The
collie depa. d regretfully morsels of
the clearcolored jelly clinging to the
edges of its lips. The life guard told
me that dogs have a great fondness
for jellyfish, and that they frequent
the beach at all hours, looking for
them. He makes it a point to drive
the dogs away, for there are many
varieties of jellyfsh that are poison
Gus. The guard said that he knew of
two good dogs that died this summer
through eating jellyfsh, and he
thought that good dogs should not be
allowed on the beach except with muz-
slcs that will prevent them from eat

Told of Deaf Irish Dean.

A dean whose name may not be
given is nearly stone deaf. says Tenn
pie Bar. His deafness is said to lead
to malapropos answers. Staying at a
friends house, he was asked if he
would like to have pair of slippers
His face assumed an expression OF
portentous solemnity, and he made
reply: That question must be re-
served for the general synod" On
another occasion he was asked what
family he had. "Twenty-six, and an
immediate prospect of a considerable
increase" He thought he had been
asked as to the number of children at
his school. Just one more story of
my deaf dean. He is reported to be
famous for changing horses, and not
to be particularly lucky in horseflesh.
Some one asked him how Mrs. -
was. The reply was peculiar: She
is vicious in the extreme; she won't
stand the curb, and is strongly in.
clined to run away" Needless to say,
he was not referring to the good gray
mare. who, no doubt, was going very
steadily in double harness.

dations OF Society.

The dispute now raging in France
over the government proposal to re-
duce the term of compulsory service
in barracks to two years is one. as we
believe, of extreme significance.
France being at once the most mill
tary of nations and the one most sus-
ceptible to new ideas, her example Is
almost sure, sooner or later, to per-
suade Europe and it seems almost
certain that she intends this example
should be set. The older generals, it
Is true, and probably a majority of
the officers, are bitterly against the
scheme. They say that the French
character is inherently opposed to pas.
sive obedience, and that it takes at
least three years to bring the con-
script to the necessary attitude of

If he will remain to be a non-commis-
stoned officer, and ask, with a persist
ence that rather disconcerts the treas
ury where, il the sous officer is to be
retained by higher pay, the money is
to come from.
They see that the socialist idea of
substituting the Swiss system of
trained militia for that of regular ar.
mics gains ground yearly among the
pcasantry, and they believe that it
Will be directly promoted by the abol-
ton of exemptions. which will render
the entire cultivated class, who now,
to the number of 81 900, serve only for
one year, bitterly hostile to barrack
life. The consequence. they predict,
will be a further general reduction to
one year. and then the adoption of the
Swiss system of an armed militia
trained as soldiers for six months only
aud though excellent for defense, use
less for conquest, or, indeed, for any
work beyond the frontiers. The colo

TEN must be given up, and the foreign
policy of France placed upon an en-
tircly new basis and directed to I'M
thought-of ends. They fear, too, we
fancy, though they keep back this ar
gument, that the soldiers. being less
of caste. will be less willing to put
down rioters and that the populace
will regain that right of revolt" which

Nerves" Of Machinery.

1t is known to most craftsmen that
not only their own muscles, but the
tools with which they work are some
times seized with something like
"Cramp." Old violins, for instance,
at times, take fits of refusing to give
out the mellow sounds which are
their wont. even though played upon
by n Joachim or Sarasate; and then
sCrape he never so cunningly, the in

probably some temporary molecular
arrangement has affected it. Edged

the behcsts OF the most skilful crafts

THEY WAVED THE GREEN.
When Germany FIourishcd Erin's EN-.
blem by Mistake.

S'S'' ~
There is good story going the
rounds about an incident at the
Laughery club annual meeting at Gin
cinnati which did not get in the regu-
lar accounts of the proceedings which
appeared in the newspapers. There
was a debate arranged as to whether
the American, German or Irish flag
should float from the clubhouse. Wade
Ellis was to talk for the American
flag. A. j. Conroy for the Irish flag,
and Judge Lueders for the flag of the
Fatherland
The judge makes a flowery speech.
as is well known, and hearing he was
to be called on for the address he went
around to all his German friends and
arranged that when he was to unfurl
a German flag which he was to have
concealed about his person, all the
Germans were to arise to their feet and
cheer. The flags the speakers were
to defend were given to them in ad-
vance, wrapped up in paper, and the
judge got his with the rest. Just
when he got to the fitting place in his
speech he unwrapped the flag, un-
furled it and waved it to the breeze.
But the unexpected happened. The
Germans sat unconcernedly in their
seats, and the Irish members were on
their feet, cheering vociferously for
the green flag of old Ireland. The
judges arrangements had leaked out.
somebody purposely switched the
flags on him. and then went around to
the different members concerned and
tlXed up the denouement.

New Type of Steamship.

Consul j. C. Freeman writes from
Copenhagen: "a company has been
formed in this city for the construc-
ton of a trial steamship of a new type
The inventor is Capt H. c. Ishoy,
who has taken out patents in the
principal countries. In this new form
of steamer the screw is placed under
the bottom instead of aft Tho hull
is materially changed in form, being
fatter, and the ships draft thereby
considerably lessened. 1t is claimed
that saving in the consumption OF
coal of about 20 per cent will be
effected. The inventor believes that
with the same amount of fuel the
speed will be greatly increased, and
finally that this form of craft will be
much steadier and more seaworthy."
