A DISAPPOINTED DOG.
He Was n Hunter and the Cash Ball in the Dry Goods Storei
 Fooled Him. ~'>

A young lady went into a large dry goods store on a shopping expedition having for a companion big, hand some dog. He was pointer, and the manner in which he trotted sedately along and kept out of everybody's way showed that he was as intelligent as handsome. The young lady having made her purchase. the shop-girl put the check and the money in wooden ball and sent it along the leash rail- way" relates Golden Days.
 At the first "whiz" the dog pricked up his ears, and the next instant he started after the ball as if he were morally sure it was some new kind of bird. Past the crowds of Christmas buyers, in and out and between hun dreds of people, the pointer dashed until the ball disappeared from view. Then he looked puzzled and then humiliated, and was coming back to his indignant mistress when the ball came whizzing on it's return trip.
 This time the dog expressed his feel ings by short yelps as he flew after his game, and this time he took the short route along the counter and fetched up in front of the shop girl, leaving behind him trail of dismayed shop pers. Then the ball was given him to investigate, and a more disappointed dog was never seen.

OYSTERS AND DISEASE.
The Green Color of Some May He Att tributed to Various Causes
 Nod Harmful.

Tn recent scientific work by Profs. Herdman and Boyce, entitled Oysters and Disease" they report the result of their Investigations on the cause which produces green oysters. Many epi- cures prefer their oysters to have the emerald hue, though there is a wide spread opinion that green oysters are not edible, says the Chicago Tribune.
 The investigators arrive at the con- clusion that there are several forms of greenness. Copper is said to be present in minute quantity in all oys- ters. It was found that the greeness American oysters contained about four times the amount of copper which is present in the whitest American oysters. Careful chemical examina- tion demonstrated conclusively that there is approximately more copper in the greener parts of the oysters than in those parts which are less green. The green color of the highly prized Marennes oysters was found to be produced by the presence of certain pigment and did not depend upon the amount of the contained copper.

AMERICAN BRIDGES.
There Are. But Few Beautiful Ones Among tue Multitude of Spans
 in Our Cities.

We have only to look at the bridges that good bridges are the rule rather than the exception in European cities, and that eminent beauty and monu- mental character, as illustrated by some of the newest structures, are compatible with the latest achieve ments of engineering in metallic con- struction. On the other hand, when we look at our American cities, we shall see good bridges rare exception. New York, for example, has but one good bridge of note, in the strict ac- ceptance of the term-the Washington bridge over the Harlem. The High bridge close by, is part of an aque- duct, writes Sylvester Baxter on "Art in Public Works in Century.
 Chicago, whose river gives it super abundance of bridges, outside of it's parks has nbt single one worthy of the name. Boston is another city of bridges, but most of these are inex- pressibly mean affairs. In the parks, to be sure, Boston has many bridges of striking beauty, representing a re- markable variety ip design One-the Longwood Avenue bridge, spanning the idyllic stream of the Riverway with a noble great arch-is for ordinary traffic rather than for park purposes. Some of the most deplorable of Bos- tons bridges cross the great channel which the railway tracks cut through the heart of the city. Of these, the Dartmouth Street bridge in particulafs hard by Copley Square and the public library and against the rich facade of the Back Bay railway station, isAso aggressively offensive, with it's steel truss-work of an excruciatingly dis torted shape, that any. expense would be iustifable to secure its replacement with something unobstrusively worthy of the site. But the tide in Boston ap- pears at last to have turned towards the construction of good bridges. A handsome new bridge for combined parkway and ordinary traffic across the Neponset is one token of this ten dency, but the most significant in stance is that of the great new bridge to Cambridge under construction across the Charles river. Particular pains have been taken to give nponu- mental character to this bridge which has received, prospe actively, the name of the most beautiful in the Uni | ted States.

NEW DOUBLE STARS.
Many Pairs Recently Discovered Which Arc AetssaaIy Associated
 ~' Together. "~.

Lick observatory reports the dis covery recently of over 100 pairs of double stars. These double stars ap- pear to the naked eye as single stars, but through the telescope their binary character is seen. It is known that in most cases these double stars are not simply two stars that lie in the same direction and appear to the eye to be close together, while in re- ality being far apart; but they are actually associated together, and re- volve round each other. h some cases four or five stars are so grouped round 9 single center of gravity The periods of revolution of many of the double stars have been noted. These periods run generally from 25 to 100 years, and the relative position of the two stars changes so slowly that observations covering many years, and sometimes several lifetimes, have to be made before full data can be had. For long time 1t had been known that the Giant star on Sun Sirius periodically moved aside little. just as if he were swinging a small companion in the celestial dance. The Washington 26-inch tele- scope was pointed at Sirius and it was plainly seen that he did indeed have mate, which, however, is much smaller than himself.

JOKES IN BRICK AND BRASS.
History as it Has Sometimes Been
 Made by. Wits.

4AcOC OJA s'Aso.
 Tn the year 1879 the Danes made a descent on Hamburg, then, as now, the great seaport of the German con- federacy But the good people of Hamburg had had warning of the con, templated attack. They were ready, and the Danish soldiers met with so hot reception that they were only too glad to make hurried departure, leaving many of their number dead and dying behind them as a result of the conflict.
 The Hamburgers struck ascoin to commemorate the event, and one of these coins has lately been sold, among a collection which belonged to q deceased collector i'll Berlin. On one side are @hese words: ..The King of Denmark has been to Hamburg. If thou would know what he achieved look on the other side'' You turn the coin over and the other. side is-a blank.
 There are more than one of these historical jokes to be seen i'll various parts of the world. A notable one is a monument in the market place at Coblentz.
 When Napoleon's conquering army marched through this city on it's way to crush Russia, French general erected this monument to celebrate his victorious progress, and on it carved an inscription setting forth the fac1 that Coblentz had been added to tht French empire, and signed with his own name A few months later and a Russian general entered the town, hot in pur suit of broken regiments of ystarvinf frenchmen. He saw the monument and read the grand inscription. He dit not blot it out, but. with grim irony ne carved beneath them, tSeen and ap l proved by me-" and he added his name So the words remain to this day. There is a curious old almshouse il the Herefordshire town ofLeominster On the outside wall is rude carvins or man armed with heavy hatchet Underneath are these words: '.He wht gives away all before he is dead. Ie him take up this hatchet and chop of his head" A former inhabitant of tn town was the builder of these aims houses. and so charitable was he tha at the age of about 60 he found him self penniless. He ended his days il | the very almshouse he himself ba. built, and before he died requested tha this amusing warning might be in scribed for the benefit of posterity.- : London Answers

Hebrew Excrusiveness.

Is Jewish exclusiyeness becoming a legend rather than reality? It would seem so, at least in Australia. The recently published matrimonial statistics of New South Wales show that in 1901 67 Jewesses selected hus. bands from the Church of England, 17 mated with Catholics and Il found their affinities in the Presbyterian fold. One hundred and fifty-one Jews united to Anglican wives, 62 to Catho- lies. 13 to Presbyterians. 12 to Mctho- dists, four to agnostics, and two to gationalists, while solitary son of Israel is returned as having welded a Baptist Altogether, out of 7s1 Jewish marriages, 341 were more or less mixed.

German Medical Go Had Some Trouble
 in Leaving Town

|
 in Leaving Town.
 The German Medicine company, which gave a vaudeville at the town hall during the past week for the pur- pose of advertising their medicines,
 made a very informal exit from our town yesterday. Saturday evening they announced that they would give
 minstrel show at the hall Tuesday
 evening but when they found that the
 business in Torrington, where they had
 another company playing, was paying better than the business in this town, l they immediately packed bag and bag
 gage and took the 12:43 train for Tor rington. MT Braken, the local livery
 man, had troubles of his oWn'' in try ing to make them settle for the use of his. teams for transporting trunks, etc.
 Finally, however, when they could see
 no other way out of it, they decided to
 pay the price demanded~by him.
 Mrs Henry McGann died at her late residence on the Heights Monday. The funeral will take place Friday.
