LESSONS FROM TEE DOGS.
Mans stanchest Friend eInculcates the
Value Of Fidelity.

From the New Orleans Times Democrat.
1--WE may learn a good lesson from our
good friend the dog now and them" said a
man who is always befriending members of
the canine tribe, land we should remember
the fact at times when we are inclined to
quarrel with some of the more worthless
members. Already we have learned a los
son In constancy Of friendship from the dog
and men Of letters have scarcely praised
the virtues Of mankind more than they
have praised this virtuous attribute of the
dog. The dog Is good friend to his mas
ter. a faithful companion who shares his
masters fortune whatever 1t may be. No
dog was ever known to desert his master
because fortune or fate had shifted him
from the palace to the hovel, from affluence
to grinding poverty. The dog will remain
fast when other friends higher in the scale
Of animal development will desert ana pun
away to where the pastures are greener,
But I was thinking more particularly
OF another good example which human kind
may find in the dogs conduct, and 1t IL q

CEDARs OF LEBANON.
Only About Four Hundred Of Then
Sill Live.

0AAA AANSs
From Scrbner's.
There are only about four hundred OF the
Cedars of Lebanon left. High up on the
rocky slopes Hadrian sculptured his impe-
rial anathema against all who should cut
these sacred trees. The Maronite peasants
almost worship them, and call them the
"Cedars of the Lord" and recent gov
ernor of the Lebanon has surrounded them
by a great wall, so that the young shoots
may not be injured by rowing animals. Yet,
century by century, their number grows
less But If the cedars are few in number,
these few are of royal blood. They are not
the largest Of trees, though some Of the
trunks measure over forty feet around.
Their beauty lies in the wide-spreading
limbs. which often cover circle two or
three hundred feet in circumference. Some
are tall and symmetrical, with beautifu!
knotted. with inviting seats In the great
forks. and charming beds on the thick
foliage Of the swinging boughs.
The wood has q sweet odor, Is very hard
dar is remarkable. A dead tree Is never
seen, except where lightning or the az has
been at work. Often a great bough Of one
tree has grown into e neighbor' ana the
sible to say which is the parent trunk, Fer.
haps the unusual strength and vitality OF
the cedars are due to their slow growth.
When a little sprout, hardly waist-high. is
said to be ten or fifteen or twenty years
old one cannot help asking, What must be
the age Of the great patriarchs Of the
grover It is hard to tell exactly. By the
aid of a microscope have counted more
than seven hundred rings on bough only
thirty inches in diameter. Those who have
studied the matter more deeply think that
some of these trees must be more than
thousand years old Indeed. there Is moth

RELICS FOUND IN PARIS.
for Underground Road On
earths Fossil Remains.

Paris Correspondence Of the New York Tribune.
Biologists, naturalists and paleontofogists
have been supplied with new documents by
the excavations and subterraneau galleries
made during the construction Of the Paris
Metropolitan underground railroad. which
is rapidly converting the subsoil Of the cap
ital into a sort of gigantic rabbit warren.
With commendable foresight NJ. Btenvenu.
the engineer in charge Of the work. has
given instructions to all the laborers under
his orders to report at once any relics.
bones. animal or vegetable remains they
may discover.
The underground operations Of the Metro
politan system are as yet not half COM
pleted, but already seven or eight hundred
interesting objects have been unearthed,
and scientists are employed by the city to
collect and classify them. Teeth Qf q
squat have been dug up beneath the PLACE
de rOpera. and in a stratum Of the chalk
heights Of Montmartre gang OF workmen
found the skeleton and trunk of mann
moth. At Grenelle couple Of laborers dis
covered the skeleton Of a mammoth mixed
up with those Of a rhinoceros, hippopota-
mus and an antediluvian bull. Sharks
teeth are found in profusion.
At Moulineaux the bones of huge tapir
and ossary fragments that seem to have
formed part of the skeleton of a gigantic
bird have been brought to light. Beneath
the Place de la Bastile layers of barnacles
and mussels have been discovered imbedded
in slick. Vast deposits Of gypsum have
also been discovered. and the geological
formation of the beds is such as to lead
scientists to the conclusion that Paris was
once perforated with thermal springs like
the geysers Of Iceland.
No vestiges of antediluvian man have yet
been discovered. such as were found some
years ago In the caves near Mention, but
the French biologists are keenly alive to
the opportunities afforded by the excava-
lions Of the Metropolitan railway. and hope
to find human remains OF the tertiary Pc
Rod. Special instructions have been given
to the workmen to look out not only for
bones and relics. but also for traces or I'm
prints on rocks Of any animals, for M. Ber-
thelot the eminent chemist, who eagerly
follows the progress OF the excavations
from scientific standpoint. declares that,
owing to the radio-activity of certain
bodies. 1t would by no means be improbable
to discover in the subterranean strata of
Paris images sort OF natural cliches. as
1t were-of antediluvian life traced upon
walls Of rock.

lesson which we may ponder with profit ut
this season Of the year when ones diet De-
