| 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 a
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 well that they are now growing
up and almost old enough to under
stand the story of their mothers
heroism, which capt. Wocdalls 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, wiz ed haired
TERROR. After he had been in the
family for a few months stranger
was introduced in the shape OF fluffy
little black King Charles spaniel. Jack
and the new arrival-who was called
Queenie-became firm friends, sleep
ing in the same basket and eating
from the same plate.
Queenie was devoted to the fire, and
would lie inside the fender anil go to
sleep peacefully. Whenever Jack
found her in this dangerous position
he would look at her for oment
and then, taking her by the neck,
would place her on the rug
One evening he came to his master
with a look of anxiety making a pc
culiar noise, half bark, half whine.
He looked at his master for a moment
and then left the room. Returning
again he made the same noise and
started for the door, looking back at
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 dog
| led the way through several passages
and finally into the kitchen, walked up
to the range, and placed one paw on
the oven. The fire was out for the
maids had gone to bed, and on open
ing the door there was Queenie at her
last gasp. She had not been burnt
but simply suffocated.
Every effort was made to revive the
dog, while Jack stood by with look
of the most intense anxiety on his
face. But it was no use, and the
little body was taken into the garden
and laid upon the lawn. Jack gave
one glance at his friend, put his nose
to hers, then ran off. He was not
seen again for three days, when he re
turned dirty, bedraggled and lame
Never did he ever enter that kitchen
again. He had made a noble effort
to save his friend, and it was not
his fault that the density of one mans
comprehension had prevented his sue
ceeding.

The cases on record in which dogs
have 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 a reward for the
noble act performed by Bulge, span
lei. in in recent Hoboken fire. Bulge
lived at 413 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 well a!ighI
Mr.. SENS, the landlord and owner 9f
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 aghaAs at
the flames, and then. realizing that her
family was in dire danger, she dashed
through the fire and in moment re-
turned carrying badly blistered
puppy. Her anxious face wore look
of quiet triumph as she left the little
creature In q 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 a 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 perishing
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 a week. OF all the
live stock in that building the only
creatures saved we're the two pup
pies, and they oweu their lives not to
man but to what, in this instance at
least, proved to be the nobler animal.
Mother love was the cause of the
death of Daisy, beautiful little fox
TERROR, the daughter of Mouse, noted
prize winner, the property of Col. G.. A.
Stevens, millionaire. Daisy belonged
to Capt Woodall, who has charge OF
the barges of the New Jersey Ice COM
pany. Daisy was the mother of four
puppies, which were born on New
Years day and she was the proudest
parent in all New York state.
In the second week of January last
Capt. ,,oodall made the discovery that
one Of the puppies was dead, and when
Daisy was away he threw the little
corpse into the Hudson, but the tide
was low and there was no current to
carry it away. When the mother re-
turned to her litter she instantly saw
that one was missing. She went wild
with anxiety, and raced from barge to
barge looking for her lost puppy.
At last she caught sight of 1t bob,
blng up and down n the water, and in
an instant she was after 1t. She

The physician is such busy man
that he sometimes overlooks a valu-

REVIVAL OF THE STONE AGE.
Much of That Material Now Used In
London Building.

The "stone age" Is fast reviving in
London, though in a more welcome
form than that of old. There Is a
growing tendency to spend money
more freely on business premises, and
consequently architects, generally
speaking, are enjoying more scope In
designing structures with imposing
elevations. To obtain the most hand.
some effect white stone has become
the favorite and wherever monetary
considerations will permit this Is al
most universally stipulated for In
specifications.
"If this liberality continues" said a
prominent contractor, London will
within a comparatively short period
become the finest city in the world.
architecturally speaking. At the pres
ent time twothirds OF the contracts
in our hands specify for the use Of
stone frontages."

Sonic Timely Topics Discussed.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: l desire
to express myself with regard to two OIL
three things through the medium Of The
National Tribune:
First, there seems to be a growing senti.
ment in favor of service pensions, and the
proposition to pension all honOrably-dis-
charged soldiers meets my most cordial ap-
proyal: but l would insist on fair and
just graduation. 1t would manifestly be TN
fair, if not unjust, to give men who served
only 100 days or six months the same
amount that is given to 4 veteran who was
three or four years in the service and
nearly always on the firing-line.
The term veteran is rapidly losing its
Old-time dictionary Significance. 1t once
had meaning and meant something
when applied to an old soldier. A veteran
is one who has been long exercised in
anything, especially i'll military life, and
the duties Of soldier; long practised or
experienced: as q veteran officer or sol
der" Now it means anyone who has
served a few days in the array. Those who
seryrd from GO days to six months are in
veterans are not distinguished any more
from novitiates.
In my opinion the soldiers of the war
of the rebellion are more generously dealt
with than the soldiers of any former war
OF course, everything is-not properly equal
lied and adjusted. Some may be getting
too much and others not enough, or none
at all. And the widows of prominent Of
fcers are pensiOned ut too high Il rate.
Fifty dollars month should be the maxi
mum for any Generals widow. There is
no reason why the Government should pay
these widows a pension sufficient to float
them through society on the topmOst
wave of any fashionable set of the 400
variety. Besides, they nearly all have
properi.r' and an income, and could live
comfortably and quite respectfully on a
$50 pension.
The old comrades have not been back
ward in asking and demanding their just
crepitude produced by hard service in the
field. And for this tltY have frequently
been uhiustly criticized, / think; but Com
rade Joseph w. Rufufil ,rOf Sheldon, Mo-.
in The National Tribisne of Feb. &c,
makes claim that feel impelled to con-
denim. Speaking for himself and others in
his neighbOrhO0d, he Stlinks The National
Encampment should is< held in Washing
ton, and that the u. S,ilfevernment should
pay our way there and back" This is
certainly very unreasonable claim. The
q. A. X. is voluntary, association, and
no one is compelled to attend it's annual
meetings. The GOvefMnent has nothing
whatever to do with IT, To ask the Gov
eminent to pay for tie transportation of
old soldiers to meeting of the Encamp-
ment and back home is most unreasonable,
and will tend to desbeh the prejudice
which some people have against the sol
der, even in his best estate-T. M.

Consul SINNERS departure from Mar
