dog, and though she made the most
heroic efforts to save herself and the
puppy, which she fondly imagined still
lived, it was no USE and after little
while she gave up the attempt as
bad job, and before help could come
she sank, carrying the puppy with her.
Capt. Woodall was almost as grief
stricken for his pet as Daisy had been
for her offspring, and offered big re-
ward for the two bodies, which were
secured by a boatman. An attempt
was made to bring up the three little
orphans on the bottle, which succeed
ed so we'll that they are now growing
up and almost old enough to under
stand the story of their mothers
heroism, which capt. WoodalPs little
son is never tired of telling them.
Another case in which a dog made
a heroic attempt to save the life of a
friend was that of Jack, wired haired
TERROR. After he had been in the
family for a few months stranger
was introduced in the shape of a fluffy
little black King Charles spaniel. Jack
and the new arrival-who was called
Oueenie-became firm friends, sleep
ing in the same basket and eating
from the same plate
QueenEe was devoted to the fire, and
would lie inside the fender and go to
sleep peacefully. Whenever Jack
found her in this dangerous position
he would look at her for a moment
and then, taking her by the neck,
would place her on the rug.
One evening he came to his master
with look of anxiety making pc
culiar noise, half bark, half whine
He looked at his master for moment
and then left the room. Returning
again he made the same noise and
started for the door, looking back al
every step. His master was busy just
then and took no notice until for the
third time he returned, when the mas
ter rose and followed him. The doc
led the way through several passages
and finally into the kitchen, walked VI
to the range, and placed one paw or
the oven. The fire was out for the
maids had gone to bed, and on open
ing the door there was Queenie at hel
last gasp. She had not been burnt
but simply suffocated.
Every effort was made to revive thu
dog, while Jack stood by with lool
of the most intense anxiety on hi
face. But it was no use, and thu
little body was taken into the garden
and laid upon the lawn. Jack gav'
one glance at his friend, put his nos
to hers, then ran eff. He was no
seen again for three days, when he re
turned dirty, bedraggled and lame
Never did he ever enter that kitchen
again. He had made noble effor
to save his friend, and it was no
his fault that the density of one man
comprehension had prevented his sue
ceeding.

In a moment Pope returned to the
deck. He was smoking a cigar. He
went to the wheel and looked at the
briggs course. Then with his seward
ly blue eyes he narrowly circled the
horizon. Crystal leaned against the
bulwark rail, and Laura a little at
loss took up the papers upon the sky

The square man came leisurely for

Who're the Cream Should Sour.

Some hold the view that, since the
cream has to be soured before churn'
ing. why not let 1t sour on the farmf
This is Objectionable for the follow

ers work to introduce and develop the
favor in the cream. which gives US
the fine aroma in butter which we, as
well as the consumers, so much desire.
2. The butter will be more uniform
In flavor when one man, who under

farmers all sorts of laFors come I'M

Chapter XX-Continued.


On the whole this mail booty was
not disappointing. Pope kept the
newspapers to read; there was no lit
erature in the little ship, and he be-
lleved these West Indian journals
would interest Miss Crystal. When
the bags had been thoroughly sacked,
every letter and parcel opened and
flung away, Pope read out the figures
he had entered and told the men how
much more they were worth in solid
money since eight bells had been
struck.
Are you satisfied" he said.
Yes, they were all satisfied.
Mark now, my hearts" he ex'
claimed, that this is only the begin
ming; this cruise isn't up until I'm
worth ten thousand pounds, and yell
all be rich men when that's been
brought about. You can fill your cans
and drink success; this is good days

Going aft. Capt. Pope met Laura
ascending the companion way from
her cabin. He stopped at once, with
his usual low bow and flourish.
Have you searched the mails?" she
asked.
YES" he answered, leaning oppo'
site TO her against bulkhead and
laughing, and adoring her.
What did you tind?"
Certain things proper to enrich

How can you have the heart to
steal, Captain Pope?"
Because, besides my hand, must
possess an estate to lay at your feet. u
This was put in rather Irish way,
and unconsclously there was a touch
of the brogue in his delivery. His
accent amused her and she smiled
and then looked up at Crystal, lit.
tie piece of whom she could just
catch a sight of as he sat on the edge
of the skylight.

Civic Pride.


Congressman Slayden Of Texas Is
telling his friends how he learned
from a little girl of years how much
New York people thought of their
city. He was at the house of one OF
his New York acquaintances, whose
daughter had begun to attend school a
few weeks ago.
"!And what have you been learning
az school Agnes?" he asked her.
Then she proceeded to tell him
about spelling and reading and her
other studies, but she seemed to be
interested in geography more than
anything else. The points OF the COM
pass occupied all her thoughts now.
"North's that way, teacher said,
and Agnes pointed her finger. TITS
not exactly right up Fifth avenue, but
a little that way"
NOW, don't you think the avenue
ought to have been built north and
south?" Congressman Slayden asked
"Oh, well, was the reply, and there
was not a trace Of smile, Il s'pose
they'll change north and south to ft
Fifth avenue before long."-New York

Effects of Feed on Teeth and Skull

Effects OF Feed on ! eetn ana okulh
Schwartzkopf, of the Minnesota Sta
ton, treating Of the influence Of feed
upon the dentltion of pigs, writes:
l. The order of succession of teeth
in our precoclous pigs runs the same
as in the primitive hog.
2. The times when the teeth appear
are variable, according to race, feed
ing and health. The same breeds
raised under the same conditions VIII
show the same appearance.
8. The form of the skull depends
upon nutrition, health and more or less
employment of certain muscles Of the
head and neck. Skulls of poorly nour-
ished pigs are long and more slender
than from those well nourished. Pigs
that are prevented from roofing will
acquire a short, high and rounded
head, while those that are forced to
root to secure a portion of their food
will develop a long and slender fc---
of head.

man. There's a bit of the swag be-

skipper was to knock off now it isn't

Crystal sucked a moment or two
at his pipe in silence.

with an affected yawn, that this life's

values his neck and reputation. And

Saying this he moved away, and
stood beside the skylight, and, un-
perceived, looked down.
He witnessed a love scene, and In
voluntarily clenched his hands. Pope
had murdered blockader, he had
barbarously plundered an aunt. He

Doubtless she knew that her cousin

sank into the dusk past the face
glimering to the skylight.
Crystal took off his hat and wiped
his brow. The meteoric dust was very
plentiful over the mastheads, and the
horizon opened northeast against a
gentle play of violet lightning. The
square man was thirsty, he was also
hungry, and Grindal being too drunk
to relieve him his irritability increased
because he observed that the couple
in the cabin made no signs Of coming
on deck.
Quitting the skylight he walked
slowly forward. The gloom was deep
betwixt the rails, and all about the
neighborhood of the caboose, owing
to the lnky dye cast into it by the
shadowing OF the sails, and the dusk

The cases on record in which dogs
nave risked their lives to save their
fellow creatures are almost as numer-
GUS as the acts of heroism chronicled
in the annals of humanity. The finest
medal that was ever struck would not
have been too great reward for the
noble act performed by Bulge, span
iel. in in a recent Hoboken fire. Bulge
lived at Alb Fourteenth street, together
with fifty carrier pigeons, a dozen
fancy rabbits, and her own four pup
pies, only few days old.
Before the building was we'll aIight
Mr.. Seins, the landlord and owner OF
Bulge, managed to escape with his
family, but the carrier pigeons, the
rabbits and the puppies were forgot
ten. Bulge was absent at the time,
but returned half an hour after the
fire started.
For a moment she stood aghast at
the flames, and then, realizing that her
family was in dire danger, she dashed
through the fire and in a moment re-
turned carrying a badly blistered
puppy. Her anxious face wore a look
of quiet triumph as she left the little
creature in a place of safety and once
more returned to the burning building.
Again she came back with another
puppy, little more singed this time,
but also living. Her own hair was
now ablaze, but, unmindful of the
pain, she dropped the pup in the street
and started back again.
But young man who had stood by
watching her caught the dog in his
arms, and in spite of her frantic
struggles to return to her perishns
family refused to let her go. Had he
done so she would have gone to her
death.
So badly burned was the brave ami
nal, that an ambulance was called
and she and the pups were taken to
the dog hospital, where they were de
tanned for nearly week. OF all the
live stock in that building the only
creatures saved were the two pup
pies, and they owed their lives not to
man but to what, in this instance at
least proved to be the nobler animal

4 Probably Hopeless Fight.

It is the opinion of the Boston Post that trouble is looming up portentously before the new republican senator from Utah" MT. Shoot, who happens to be a high official of the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter-Day Saints" This trouble comes from that fact. Our Boston tontempoTary mentions that the Presbyterian general assembly has demanded his expulsion from the sen ate. The resolutions which this great and influential Christian body has adopted declare that the Mormon church persists in the active encour- agement and practice of polygamy, and that Smoot is ''in cordial sympathy with it as a divine institution" There fore, Shoot must go.
 However serious all that may be in other respects, it is not freighted with trouble for the junior senator from Utah. Tn this republic a man is ac- ccuntable to no human tribunal for his thoughts, sympathies or feelings. If two-t thirds of Senator Shoots col leagues could be convinced that he was living in polygamy, they would doubt less vote for his expulsion. It is possi- ble that such acttion might be taken
 on positive proof that he was a pro- moter of plural marriages. But both
 of those charges are denied by many
 of the best citizens of Utah. II is the right of a senator, as clearly as of a | private citizen, to believe in any doe l urine, no matter how inharmoniOus il
 may be with prevailing sentiments. A | our Boston namesake puits it, ii ! Shoot simply holds the doctrinal faitl
 that man should have as many wive:
 as he can support, but does not put his
 theory into practice, why is he any
 worse than good many other senator:
 who have queer and cranky notions but do not give offense by acting up tc | them ?"-Washington Post.

are being removed to the second story of the morgue to keep them from being carried away by the food" Now that the flood has subsided, the couserva- tive estimate is made that petty $20OO0 will cover tie total loss, and half of that will fall upon the munich pality in the way of damaged streets. There was no loss Of life. There is no 'morgue'-only an undertaking shop, as there is in every small city. News paper readers had given up hope of discounting the situation at Topeka, where every body felt sure that the losses would run into the millions. 1t is found now, however, that the 1C,GoG people who were homeless" were homeless for a few days only. The water having gone down, it is found that very few houses have been dam aged, actually. The great losses feli upon the small merchants. chiefly, who had stocks of dry goods and clothing ruined. The factories and mills. sup posed to be ruined, were not damaged particle-not a wall has given way. At Kansas City, Kansas, there was like exaggeration.
 h the aggregate, many thousands of people suffered great financial loss. many precious lives were lost, and some of the smaller communities will be long time recovering from the blow. But it is some comfort to know that excited correspondents have been discredited by later developments.
 And doubtless. the same stale of facts will be developed at. St. Louis. While immense losses will be wrought by the food in the Mississippi, it IS safe to predict that the damage will not be as great as now generally ap- | prehended.
 When a town is several feet under water it is natural to assume that the loss will be tremendous, but expert ence generally proves that a Hood is
 not as destructive as it looks.

As was to be expected. later news from the flooded districts of Kansas shows that the earlier reports were absurdly exaggerated. To be sure, the truth is bad enough.

But people were not drowned by the hundreds in every town where the streets were under water. and total bankruptcy for entire communities was not the result.
