II tried many things with NO sue

Dogs Are nf Little Use.

The use Of bloodhounds as q detec-
tive agency has of late years been
exploited almost to the proportions OF
fad. Yet when put to the test OF
actual experiment the result has been
humiliating failure. The experience
of Canton and CharlerOi is still fresh
In public recollection. Numerous other
cases where bloodhounds have been
put upon the trail have been reported,
but the record upon their achievements
has been suspiciously silent The sue
cess of bloodhounds in slavery days
was no doubt due to two conditions,
neither Of which Is present to-day.
The dogs were carefully trained for
the purpose for which they were used
and were pure bred. The so-called
bloodhounds used to-day are seldom
of straight breed and almost invariably
unframed
The Lorain case, where a citizen was
arrested upon the sole fact that the
dogs, being taken to the house, went
to his bedroom, contains an example
Of their use which 1t will be well to
avoid. Whatever faith may or may not
be placed in their instinct, 1t Is GER
tainly not enough, without corroboIa-
tive evidence, to justify the arrest and
humiliation of any person. Governor
Pennypacker must have had some
thing Of this possibility In mind when
he vetoed the bill authorizing sheriffs
to purchase bloodhounds for the pur-
pose of tracking criminals. Even Il
the use Of brutes In such cases was
not subject to the charge Of barbar-
Ism the danger Of a fearful mistake
ought to require the production Of
strong corroboratiye evidence before
an arrest is made-PittSburg Dis

A QUALITY TO CULTIVATE.
Characteristic Incidents Illustrating
American Kindness.

A little boy went up Chestnut street
in Philadelphia the other day, carry
ing a bag containing $500 pennies
from a bank to his employers once.
The bag burst, the coppers We're
strewn about the street, and the poy
set up a wall for help.
Traffic was suspended in that DOCK.
Scores Of people stopped to help the
boy find the pennies, and motorhen
checked their cars to aid. A gooo
many must have gone into their own
pockets rather than search the pave
ment When the boy finally dehVereu
his charge he had not only the o,oOo
pennies with which he started, pui
1853 more.
A building was being torn down Oh
Monroe street in Chicago. An ola Wo-
man came, with others, to gather up
the broken and discarded lumber. Sne
made up a huge bundle, so large 1hat
she could not lift it upon her head
to carry it away.
AS she stood looking about for heip,
a man, who from his dress seemed 10
be a prosperous merchant or lawyer,
came along and saw her difficulty. At
the same time truckman saw It, ana
descended from his seat The two
men lifted the bundle, helped the old
woman to balance it, and then went
their ways while she went hers.
1t was done as matter of course,
with no posing or professions, just as
the search for the Boys lost pennies
was undoubtedly conducted in Phlla-
delphia. There was the need, and 1t
was met by the first corners IN the
prompt and kindly American way.
Prince Henry of Prussia and otner
foreign observers, whose stations ana
duties have given them opportunities
to note the conduct Of street CROWDS
i'm many nations, have said that the
American crowd is the most good-hu-
mored and kindliest in the world. Such
incidents as those recited above prove
the accuracy of the observation.
This kindness is a quality of which
the American people may Well be
proud, and which we ought to cult
vate even more. If it We're deliber-
ately extended there would be less
heckling of employers by trade unions,
less vituperation Of unions by employ
ers, fewer strikes and lockouts, less IN
dustrial strife-tionkQm' &c.. &c &c
dustrial warfare, less danger to pros
perity ard more peace and profit for
us all.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

BIRDS MAKE MISTAKES.
Dangers of Contact with Civilization
and Uuna tura1 Conditions

and Unnatural Conditions.
Probably in a state of wild nature
birds never make mistakes, but where
they come in contact with our ciyiliza-
ton and are confronted by new con-
ditions they very naturally make mis-
takes. For instance their cunning il
nest-building sometimes deserts them
The art of the bird is to conceal its
nest both as to position and as to ma
terial, but now and then it is betray
ed into weaving into its structure
SNOWY and bizarre bits of this or that,
which give its secret away, and which
seem to violate all the traditions of
It's kind. have the picture of a rob
ms nest before me- upon the outside
of which are stuck a small muslin
flower, a leaf from small calendar
and a photograph of a local celebrity.
A more homogeneous use of material in
bird architecture it would be hard to
find. | have been told of another rob-
ms nest upon the outside of which
the bird had fastened a wooden label
from nearby flower bed, marked
Wake Robin" Still another nest
have seen built upon a large, snowy
foundation of the paper-lil1e flowers Of
Antennaria, or everlasting. The wood
thrush frequently weaves a fragment
of newspaper or white rag into the
foundation of it's nest. EVIL cOmmu-
nications corrupt good manners" The
newspaper and the rag bag unsettle
the wits Of the birds
The phoebe bird is capable of this
kind OF mistake or indiscretion. All
the past generations Of her tribe have
built upon natural and. therefore, neu-
trail sites, usually under shelving and
overhanging rocks; and the art Of
adapting the nest to It's surroundings,
blending it with them, has been high
ly developed. But, phoebe now fire.
quently builds under our sheds and
porches, where, SO far as concealment
Is concerned, a change of material,
say from moss to dry grass or shreds
OF bark, would be an advantage to
her. But she departs not a bit from
the family traditions; she uses the
same woodsy MOSES, which In some
cases, especially when the nest is
placed upon unevenly sawed timber,
makes her secret an open one to all
eyes.-John Burroughs in Century.
