DOGs AS POLICEMEN.

During the Boer war one heard
a good deal of dogs as scouts, but
they have now actually been en-
rolled in Denmark and Belgium
as part of the police force. They
are mostly drawn from the collie
breed, and it takes about four
months to tram them to their
work. They can cleverly climb
walls after a disappearing fugi-
tive or catch him by the neck and
hold him fast without hurting
him till help arrives. These hum
BILE additions to the police force
are not only used for tracking
special criminals, but are on duty
every night from 8 O'Clock till .
the next morning, accompanied
by a policeman. In Belgium they
are used in the prisons to prevent
attempts at escape, and since this
plan has been adopted there has
not been a single prisoner willing
to test the powers OF these canine
wardens. London Tat!er.

ONE HAT IN 25 YEARS..

Moses Ashby, aged a years,
went into store on Bank street
yesterday and bought working
jumper and hat, says the New
London Telegraph. Mr.. Ashby
said that the hat was the third
Sunday dress hat that he had
purchased during his life. The
hat he was wearing when he en-
tered the store, he said, had done
him service for twenty five years
and cost $1.65. The old man lives
in Poquonoc, and walked from
his home to the ferry in Groton.
He is as lively on his feet as a
man of 40, and on finishing his
purchases and learning that he
had three minutes to catch the
ferry he left the store on a trot.
Mr.. Ashby attributes his good
health to the fact that he works
every day and abstains from the
use of liquor, tobacco, tea or cof-
fee. When he asked for work
ing jumper he looked with aston
lShment at the clerk who asked
him if he wanted it for himself.
"Certainly,I want it for myself, "
he said. 81 work every day, and
have been in the woods every day
this year that it did not storm. |
have cut and hauled twelve cor DIS
of wood this winter. | want the
jumper plenty loose so that | can
have plenty of room in it to swing
my arms. Everybody can live to
be as old as me at my age if they
stay out in the air. have never
been obliged to wear glasses and
don't think | ever will. When |
was young | used to go coasting
and whaling, and | have never
been sick except with the grippe
and whooping cough. ! have had
the grippe seven times, and the
whooping cough, why l had that
only a few months ago"
The suit Mr.. Ashby wore he
said cost him $40 forty years age
and still appears in good condi'
ton. He left the store saying
that clothing men would not get
rich if all men were like him.

A REGULAR BOARDER.

That frog should travel mile in
order to return to its accustomed
home shows more intelligence than
frogs are generally credited with. The
Philadelphia Record is responsible
for the following:
Three years ago farmer named
Anderson found a large frog in front
of the spring house, and, when the
milkmaid opened the door to put her
pail OF milk in the spring, the frog
hoped in behind her.
Goodness said the maid, "but
you're big fellow"
1t was big fellow. From his nose
to the ends of his extended legs the
frog measured fifteen inches. II hop
ped out of reach of the girls hand,
and partially buried itself in bed OF
clay in the darkest corner of the
spring house. There in a stupor, nei
ther eating nor drinking, it remained
until the spring. Then 1t departed.
Each autumn since then the frog has
appeared at the first sign of frost, and
made his winter bed in the spring
house. This year he came as usual.
But the farmer desired to make an ex-
pertinent on him. He was awakened,
lifted from his warm clay nest, placed
in a wagon and carried to place q
mile down the road. There he wai
left.
Before evening he was back again
The milkmaid found him at sunse
seated before the spring house door
waiting patiently to be let in.

Since mas got Christian Science us

No hot old mustard plasters upon our
chests are stuck:
She never puts the ginger upon the
stove to boil,
Nor doses up us children with that old
castor oil.
She Just says: 'Look here, children
no need for you to squall,
You think your stomach's aching?
There's no such thing at all
Since mas got Christian science she
doesn't use whip
TO punish as, but simply takes FUCKERS
IN her lip,
And thinks and thinks right at us, un
til she near goes blind,
And then she says she whipped us by
whipping in her mind.
That is the absent treatment, but any
one can see
That it doesn't make connections with
such boy as me.
But pa NOW he is different. Wher
he's at home he'll say,
"You children best be careful and no
be bad to-day"
You Just believe we're careful, 'caus
