This Dog Chews Tobacco.

"Old Peter jenkins, of our town, has
the only tobacco-chewing dog I ever
heard off, says Bristol (Pa.) man in
the Philadelphia Record. ''The dog is
now over ten years old, and, so far az
anybody knows, he has been slave to
the habit ever since he was puppy.
Peter himself says ne doesn't remem.
Der how the pup acquired the taste;
maybe he was born with it. At any
rate, Peter never takes chew without
offering one to the dog if he is around,
and the dog never refuses. If Peter
should happen to forget he would soon
be forcibly reminded of his oversight.
It is a curious thing to see the dog
lying with his head in his paws, work
ing his jaws over juicy quid. He swal-
lows it, too, and 1t never seems to make
him sick"

was so morose that Me ndes questioned
him until he confessed the reason.
He was in love with his employers
daughter and she with him. The mas
ter printer had risen from the case
himself, and his present fortune and
social position did not warrant expec-
tation of a rich son-in-law, SO that the
young printer had been confident and
serene until, having decided that there
was no use in waiting longe-, he had
recently asked for the young Woman's
hand.
Then he had painful surprise. The
girls father was financially embar-
raised, it appeared, and penniless
son-in-law was not to be thought OF.
The favored sutton must have six thou
sand francs, at least. So the poor fel-
low was in despair and talked about
drowning himself. Mendes himself
was pretty hard up in those days. He
advised the disconsolate lover to APP
peal to Victor Hugo for assistance.
The young printer naturally objected
that Hugo had beggars on his hands
and would not be likely to do anything
for total stranger. But Mendes in
sisted and the printer complied.
On Mendes next visit, two weeks
later, the young man met him at the
station and showed him 5000 francs in
bank notes which Hugo had sent him
with these words:
ct ON not r;ch inst now. Please ex-
cuse me. Here are 5000 francs"
The printer said that he would
marry his Clementine next month. AL
though her father had demanded twice
the sum he could not refuse when he
learned Of Victor Hugo's part in the
affair.
So they were married. How long or
how happily they lived together Mr..
Mendes neglects to state.

FAMOUS IN ENGLAND.
Father Dolling Who breaches Amid
Glitter and Splendor.
Yet He Lives and Works In the Midst
Of the Utmost SqualOr and Most
Grinding Poverty in the
City Of London.

It is rather hard to say for what Rev.
Father boiling, of London, who cele-
brated his fifty first birthday the other
day, is most famous. Probably it is
not as an orator, although he is admit
tedly one Of the best speakers in the
church of England, or for his actual
accomplishments, although few men
in Great Britain have made a more
striking success of their life work, but
on account of the two seemingly con-
Trajectory elements in his makeup
that are the strongest-his insistencc
of glitter, richness and splendor III all
matters connected with worship and
his preference to live and work in the
midst of the utmost squalor and the
most grinding poverty to be found in
London.
His church down in grimy Poplar is
like palace inside, and it's altar blazes
with crosses and candles and golden
utensils and is decorated with rare
flowers, but for years the father him
self slept every night in room in
tenement-house separated only by q
rotten partition from another larger
one, which he had fitted up with ham
mocks as 'shelter' for men and boys
too poor to pay for a nights lodgings.
He is one of the most uncompromis-
ing ritualists in England, but when he
called on the bishop of Winchester to
ask for his first living" he had to pawn
his watch to pay his railroad fare. He
dresses in cassock and berretta and
receives confessions like any Roman
Catholic priest, but he is not the least
enthusiastic participant in the nightly
football games that he organizes for
the delectdtion of the boys in his parish
and in the rules of which his assistants
instruct them.

don to begin his good work among the

At one end of the main structure of
Copan, as the acropolis of the city is
called, broad pyramid, which at one
time was crowned by some public
buiding-a temple or palace-rises to
a height of about IS feet. On the
western slope of this pyramid is the
hier oglyphic stairway, originally at
fording access from square orplaza
below to the temple above and sys-
tenn of terraced courts beyond. At
some time in the past, however, land
slide swept away the symmetry of
two large faces of the pyramid and
brought down the upper steps of the
great staircase in an almost indistin-
guishable mass of debris which COM
pletely buried the lower stairs, so that

and the fragments which were re-

A GREAT MONUMENT.
The Hieroglyphic Stairway Found
at Copan, Honduras.
Cinest Specimen Of Aboriginal Amer
lean Architecture i'm Existence
Its Beauty II q Puzzle to
Archaeolo4ists.

The remarkable hie1oglyphic starr
way at Copan, in Honduras, not far
from the boundary of Guatemala, is in
many ways the most important and in
teresting monument of aboriginal
American architecture that has ever
been brought to light by the excava-
lions Of the archaeologist. Ten years
ago it was practically unknown, but
since then it has been uncovered and
studied as whole by the various Co.
pan expeditions of the Peabody mu.
scum of American archaeology and
ethnology at Harvard, under the d.
rection of George B. Gordon, whose
elaborate report en- the discovery and
restora ton of the stairway-just is
sued to subscribers by the museum au-
thcrities-affords much incidental in
formation concerning memorable
prehistoric civilization that may prove
to be older than even the Assyrian or
the Egyptian-that of the ancient
Maya people which once dwelt in the
plains and valleys of Central Amer
lea.
How many hundreds-or thousands
of years old the hiercglyphic stair
way really is, even the archaeologist
hardly ventures to guess. 1t is prin-
cipal feature of the ruined acropolis
of what is known to be one of the most
ancient cities on the American con-
tinent, the annals of which, however
were no more than a shadowy legend
even when the Spaniards came to
Mexico; and in spite of the fact that
the steps of the stairway carry, craven
in series of picture characters or
hieroglyphics, what is apparently
some kind of continuous chronology
ical record, these "glyps" are still, for
the most part, quite undecipherable,
and the record which they contain is
as yet little more than an archa eolog-
zeal puzzle-though to solve it might

H.arehox Kills q Viper.

A resident at Versailles, NJ Guignet,
sends to Nature a vivid account of a
duel he saw between hedgehog and a
viper. The two enemies knew very well
at first sight who was who, and eyed
each other as if they knew moments
inattention would be fatal. The viper
was the first to get tired of gazing and
it began to glide away. Just then the
hedgehog rushed for the viper's tail
and having nailed it fast with his teeth,
it rolled itself up. The hedgehog was
yerv careful, however, not to cut the
tail of. The viper curled back, and
delivered furious assaults on its ag-
gressor, wrestling and rolling with the
curled-up hedgehog all over the place.
At length the snake, wounded in hun
dred places, died. The hedgehog be-
gan it's repast on the tail Of its victim,
and was careful not to eat the head.

SECRETS IN CIPHER.
How Diplomatic Transactions Are
Guarded in England.
Dispatches Are Carried by Kings
Messengers Who Are Swallowed
by Government Detectives
While en- Route.

1t says much for the integrity of gov
TitBits, that all knowledge of our re-
cent important treaty with Japan was
successfully withheld from foreign ma
tions until the compact had been &C.
tually sealed, but the great care eXer-
cised in guarding diplomatic secret
renders a premature announcement
very rare indeed.
No government secret when first
born is ever committed to paper, ex-
cept on the rare occasions when min
utes of cabinet meeting are taken
and forwarded to the sovereign. AS a
rule, our ministers meet and transact
business without anyone being the
wiser, for no official of any kind is al
lowed to be present.
Once the government has decided
upon an important piece of foreign
policy it has to be transmitted to our
representative abroad, and for the
first time the secret is put in writing
in the form of ineligible cipher, the
key to which is already in the hands
of our ambassador. Inc men VINO
draw up these intricate cipher codes
are reliable officials specially en-
ployed by the government, and they
often obtain from $500 to e700 for a
single code.
The dispatch having been prepared,
it is given into the care of a kings
messenger, who wears attached to his
person bag fitted with secret lock.
To this lock there are only two keys;
one in the possession of the foreign
office and the other retained by our
ambassador, who must unlock the bag
himself or instruct his secretary to do
so upon the messengers arrival.
The journey between this country
and abroad is risky one, because the

name, connected indissolubly with it,
was handed down to future ages with a
certainty that it would endure as long
at least as the language continued to
exist.
But, curiously enough, at almost the
same time when the great roadmaker
was achieving Immortality, another in
ventor, with a no less obviously Scotch
name, was treading the same path to
linguistic fame.
The labors in the field of chemistry
which enabled Macintosh to perfect
and patent new sort of clothing-and
that in a time when travelling by stage
coaches rendered it particularly well
come-were almost as prolonged as
those which qualified his fellow-coun-
tryman in long life to solve the prob
lem of constructing a durable roadway
for wheeled traffic.
A third notable specimen of the con-
version of name into vernacular
word may be taken from France,
where DR.. Guillotin found himself eff
fecually, though not perhaps very
agreably, immortalized in connection
with the lethal implement which still
bears his name. The popular belief
that he persisted by the machine which
he had introduced appears to be erro-

Father Dolling's pulpit dcmeanor oc
casionally is rather startling. Recent
ly at one of his Portsmouth services he
was in the midst of a prayer when two
women entered the church. They evil
IDENTITY had dropped into the little mis-

the aisle, and the rustic of their silk
skirts and the jingling of the bangles
that both of them wore on their wrists
made no small disturbance. They had
hardly walked ten feet, however, when
Father Dolling jumped up from his
knees, turned in their direction and
beloved out: ''How dare you! What
do you mean by interrupting Gods SER
vice in this way?"
Before the frightened women had
time for flight the clergyman was on
his knees again and resuming his

OF MindaEao)
Moro villages ran up their war flags,
native force was quickly gathered, and
a small battle was fought, resulting in
the rout of the natives, who lost seven
men. When this was reported to Wash
ington the president cabled Gen. Chat
fee to stop the expedition, which is
under the command of Gen. George W.
Davis; but Gen, Chatfee replied that to
withdraw all the American forces
would ruin our prestige, and to with
draw part of them would be dangerous
so the president told him to use his
own Judgment. What the result will be
is awaited with considerable interest.
Gen. Chaffee expresses the hope that
a general war will be avoided.
The Philadelphia Ledger says of the
Moros: "Mindanao is the largest ISL

being far larger than any of the others.

dan belief that dea tn in battle insures

muster 10000 men, of whom 600 are
armed with rifles and the rest with
spears and bolos, both terrible weap-
ons at close range which the Philip
pine jungles enable their owners to Sc
