TROUT IN GLASS.

A little boy stood in front Of the
brook trout exhibit at the Aquarium
recently peering intently at the spec
kled beauties. He turned to the fish
expert who stood near him and said
ut seems pity to keep the beautiful
fish in these tanks. They would have
so much more fun In brook"
"They are much safer here" said the
wise man; especially these brook
trout. Do you know that not more
than one in every thousand of the
brook trout created lives to be more
than n mere baby? Why. the little
trout no sooner takes his first peep out
from the gravel where he has been
gaining strength for the battle Of life
than all sorts Of monsters attack him.
Frogs, weasels, chubs, lizards, water
snakes. herrings and minnows go for
the little fellow, and when he has
escaped these he has the larger trout
to fight or run away from To escape
all these he has to remain In shallow
water near the banks for a long time,
and when the little beauty has learned
all the tricks to save his life and has
become the one thousand to escape the
baby dangers the fisherman comes
along and tempts him with fly and
gets him. Now, isn't the trout in the
glass case better off?"
The boy thought he was.--New York

SAVED HIS HORSE.

The intuition and sense OF locality
Of the horse are we'll known, and are
found invaluable at critical times, as
illustrated in the following account OF
an actual occurrence sent to the Little
Chronicles:
My grentgrandfather lived in Yer
mont In the days when, If one wished
to go TO Boston. the journey could best
be made on horseback One spring,
just as the ice had cleared from the
rivers, he was returning home from
that noted place on his favorite horse.
1t was pitch dark when he reached the
river below where his. farm lay. He
crossed where the bridge had always
been, arriving home after all the
household had retired and did not dis
turb them. The next morning his
wife asked him how he crossed the
river.
"On the bridge, of course was the
reply.
"Why you are crazy, The bridge
went down stream when the ice went
out" exclaimed she.
II don't believe 1t and I shan't until
see for myself" said the worthy man,
starting up.
He went directly to the river and
there, spanning the stream, was one
rather narrow plank beneath which a
torrent Of muddy water poured His
plucky horse had In the inky darkness
crossed on that single plank.

A Warning to Busybodies.

People are discussing the sensa.
tional case of a Hamburg woman who
Is lying at the point of death after at
tempted suicide as the result Of the in
discretion of frank friend The day
before Christmas the woman's hus-
band purchased sealskin garment at
a fashionable Hamburg shop, ordering
1t to be delivered to a lady not his
wife.
The saleswoman who waited upon
him. happening to be an acquaintance
OF the wife, took 1t upon herself to
Inform the latter that her husband az.
parently loved another. Without stop
ping to investigate the matter the un-
neryed wife took what she hoped
would prove fatal dose Of arsenic.
It now appears that the husband pur-
chased the garment for the wife of a
business friend who had intrusted him
with the purchase because he was
good judge of furs
The officious saleswoman has been
discharged by her employers, and is
being sued for criminal slander by the
outraged husband.--London Mail

WORDS THAT DOGS KNOW.

"FIow many words are there in the
vocabulary of the average dog?" asked
the man who takes considerable inter.
est in that class of dogs having some
training. Here is question no man
can answer certainly, and yet believe
we may get within reasonable range
Of the truth by little reflection. Pet
dogs as rule have a much larger vo-
cabulary than any other kind. Train
ed dogs, the kind we find with cir
cuses and on the stage, probably come
second, and the others are ranged along
according to the lives they lead. Dogs
learn words much more rapidly than
we suppose. In the first place, this
animal is an awfully close observer.
Hearing a sound repeatedly it soon
learns to associate 1t with certain OBJ
ject Take the well-trained hound, for
instance, and he soon learns what is
meant by gun, shoot, hunt, deer, fox
chase and so on. Experienced hunters
can furnish many evidences OF the un-
derstanding of dogs when 1t comes to
the words and phrases most frequently
used in connection with the sport.
"0f course, all dogs become familiar
with the commands used in directing
them during the hunt, and under other
circumstances. A pretty example of
this fact. is found in the ease and ac-
curacy with which pointers and settlers
do their work on the field. While IL
cannot be claimed for hunting dogs
that they have a very extensive vo-
cabulary, they understand enough
words to go about their work inteli-
gently, and at times with precision
that is little less than marvellous. Pet
dogs, poodles, fox terriers and animals
of this kind have more extensive vo-
cabulary. An illustration of this is
found in fox terrier belonging to
Manager Bray, of the Orpheum Thea
ire, terrier Of royal lineage, having
come from the Kings kennels at Buda-
pest. Few words in common use around

ing of this pet OF Manager Bray and
