DOGS AS TRAVELLERS.
they Seem to Possess Some Peculiar
Power Which Guides Them to
Their Destination.

In the old days of the James river
canal fine setter was taken by his
master on a packet boat which was
so crowded that the dog was put in
the captains cabin to be out of the
way. His owner reached his destina-
ton after nightfall, and had taken
so much wine by that time that he
was carried off the boat, and no one
remembered his setter.
Next morning the captain took the
dog on deck with him, but was mucn
afraid he would jump off to the tow
path and try to return that way, ami
so handsome an animal would have
been in danger of being stolen.
Carlo, however, lay perfectly quiet
but with an air of listening that at
tracted notice. Toward noon he
heard the sound of the horn of Il
packet coming from the opposite
way, and as the boats passed each
other he made leap and was next
heard from as having got off at the
place where his master had stopped.
and as having gone at once to the
house where he was a guest.
Could human intelligence have sur
passed that?
This same dog lay on his masters
grave and refused food until he died
from starvation. But | do not give
this as a case in point.

He was locked up in the car with the

afterward he reached his former
home, coming by an inland route, as

Fact That 1t Was Not Agree

L am sorry to say that soldiers in
the civil service did not always con-
duct themselves on strictly honor
able principles. Many times unnec-
essary suffering was caused helpless
women and children and poor, old
decrepit men. Cruel, uncalled-for in
suits were even offered them on too
many occasions; doubly cruel be-
cause their victims were helpless to
defend themselves, and must suffer
indignities from those who should
have considered themselves men.

une.
The most of us could plead guilty
to some acts that could not be pro-
nounced just right. But l never could
be heartless enough to modest un-

let the egg and the ring fall into

How are you going to do it?
1t is the easiest thing in the world,
If you do it in the right way. All
you have to do is to flick the corner
of the card with the second finger of
your right hand, and if this is done
exactly in the direction of the level
of the card it will fly out and let the
ring and egg drop into the glass. The
water in the glass will prevent the
egg from breaking.
A similar trick may be performed
with card and a coin balanced on
the forefnger of your left han Tile
coin must be placed exactly Il the
center of the card, which will be over
the tip of your finger, and when you
flick the card away the coin will rest

tied the neighbors began to call, and
it was then that the fact was discov-
cred that Wing was absolutely devoid
of any ideas as to the ushering in ar
out of guests. So one morning the
ladies determined to instruct him.
Providing him with a tray, Miss An
derson went out, rang the bell, was
shown into the parlor and waited
while the calm Chinaman carried her
card to Mrs. Anderson.
This was repeated several times,
until the ladies were quite satisfied
that Wing was perfect in his role.
That evening at $50 the bell rang.
Wing shuffled majestically to the
door, while mother and daughter
hung breathlessly over the banisters
to watch the result of their teaching.
They heard gentleman's voice
ask if the ladies were at home. They
saw Wing present his tray and re-
ceive card with an air which made
them mentally pat each other on the
back, and then they saw him draw
a card from his sleeve.
"Mine!" gasped Miss Anderson.
"The one we used for the lessons!"
Wing compared the two carefully,
and, returning the one which the
caller had just handed him, he re-
marked blandly: "Tickee no good.
No can come" and calmly shut the
door in the fact of the astonished
guest.-Little Chronicle.
