rhc Enectr of ArtiIIery.

It has long been q commonplace that
the effects Of artillery are mainly
moral" but for all that the introduc-
tion of new explosives. lyddite espe-
cially, and of quicker firing guns had
insensibly revived the belief In the
great material value Of artillery. 1t
would be gratuitous to say that artil-
lery has had a great downfall in gen.
eral estimation-among those who
have always taken sane view of its
uses we do not think 1t has--but we
may fairly say that relatively to artil-
lery the rifle has gained in reputation.
We know now that ayddite, although
It may make short work of mahdi's
tomb, is of little use against earth
works, especially when 1t falls on very
soft ground, and that the stories Of
men whose senses left them and whose
teeth shook in their heads because they
happened to be within quarter of a
mile of an explosion of lyddite were
mere moonshine.-- Spectator.

ANIMAL lMlTATlvENEss.
How n Bcssar's Dog Grows TO Ne
Like His Master.

zone OF the most curious traits to be
found in the animal nature" said an
observant citizen, "is that which grows
out of the unconscious imitativeness of
creatures Of the lower order. have
observed many instances Of where the
creatures Of lower order have taken
on the characteristics in some notice
able degree of members of the human
family. One might know, for instance,
the beggar's dog from the look Of the
dog, from the droop of the eye, the pa
thctic hang of the lip and a certain gen.
eral air Of dependency and hopeless
ness which seems to speak in the very
nature of the animal. I mention the
beggar's dog because 1t is a familiar
example. The beggar's dog never looks
cheerful, never smiles, never frolics,
but simply sits by his master and
broods and begs for whatever charity
may give.
II have seen the dog character mold
ed under happier influences, and the
dog became more cheerful. He was a
light hearted. free and easy sort of
creature and seemed to get something
Of the SUMMER side of things. am al
most tempted to say that If you will
show me mans dog will tell you
what manner of man the owner is,
with particular reference to tempera-
ment and his moods The melancholy
man, the man who grovels mentally
along the gloomier groves, the pessi.
mistic man who is always looking at
the dark side of the picture, all the men
who come within these unhappy classi-
fications rarely own q cheerful dog.
The dog unconsciously takes to the
ways Of the master and In his moods
initiates the masters way of thinking.
But turn to the dog Of the jolly,
cheerful fellow. Watch him show his
teeth in laughter when the master ap.
proaches. He is darting across the
yard and dancing and frisking around
the masters feet in the happiest way
imaginable, and he is up to all kinds of
pranks and does all kinds Of little
things to indicate the good nature that
is in him. He does as his master does
and seems to take the same general
view of life. These are small things,
guess, but they show just how impor.
tant ones way of thinking may influ-
ence ones dog and change his whole
view of life."-New Orleans Times.

A GOOD MEASURE.

1t is to be hoped that the sewer
committee to whom was referred the
ordinance providing for the sanitary
cleaning of cesspools, etc, will return
a favorable report. The ordinance
provides that in cleaning vaults cess
pools and grease traps, only air tight
suction tanks shall be used. The
tanks covered by the ordinance are
provided with air pumps. A vacuum
is formed and as the air is forced out
1t passes through a charcoal burner
where it is entirely deodorized before
being freed. Hence the atmosphere
is not contaminated by noxious odors
and gases as it is by the old method.
This process of cleaning costs no more
to the city or to individuals than 9TH
ar methods, and its superiority is so
manifest as 10 commend itself TO all
who believe in clean town.

Silently Awaited Death.

Robert Frizzle, IA years old, is dying
at Pottsvllle hospital from an accident
which occurred on the Pennsylvania Rail-
road. He was walking the tracks and
when the signalman in the tower, some
distance away, adjusted the switches for
passenger train, Frlzzle's left foot
was caught between the tongue of the
switch and the rail and held as in a
wise. He tried to attract the switch
mans attention, but his voice would not
carry to the tower, and he waited,
silently watching the train bearing down
on him.
The engineer saw the boy when the
train was right upon him, but was power
less to avert the accident. A second
later the boy was released from the
trap which held him, but the cost of his
foot, which was found after the train
had passed. still firmly held in the
switch, the lads body having been hurl-
ed forty feet to one side Of the track

Credit for the settlement is unani-
