Canine Intelligence.

A striking instance Of canine fntelli-
gence IS reported from Paris. A male
schoolteacher named Dillaz was way
laid one evening near Charenton bridge
by two roughs, who set upon him and,
after rifling his pockets, flung him Into
the Seine. A collie dog that happened
to be near, without being encouraged
to do so by any person-indeed there
were none who saw the circumstance
at once plunged into the water and,
catching the man by the coat, aided
him to keep afoat until the river po-
lice, attracted by his cries, arrived to
his assistance. II. Dilaz was subse-
quentiy able to furnish the police with
a description which led to the arrest OF
his assatlants.

When tho Poor Ride In Coaches.
In the east side tenement house re-
gion coaches are associated with only
two things-weddings and funerals.
The coach b an indispensable feature
OF the wedding. and only the very
poorest ane buried without the attend
ance OF mourning coach.
The whole block knows when wed
ding is to take place, and everybody Is
on the watch when the coach and pair
come dashtng around the corner to re-
ceive the bride. The vehicle draws up
before the narrow entrance to tene-
ment and presently ts entered by the
bride, BAH hidden In her white veil
and all nodding with orange wreaths,
while q gaping crowd looks on. Tie
horses are tashed, the coach turns an
other corner, and In three minutes the
bride Is at the place Of ceremony. The
ceremony over, the coach this time
swallows up both bride and bride
groom. Everybody Is charmed at the
sight The gossips are busy for day

American Drums Excel.

ever know that Americans were the
greatest drur1 makers In the world"
said a man In the business "Fact
Not only do they make the most drums
but they make the finest drums too.
And there's a great deal more to the
manufacture Of drum than you would
think. Of course the cheap variety
doesn't amount to anything. They're
simply toys. There Is just as much
difference In drums as in any other
musical instrument though most peo-
pie wouldn't think SO. The drums re-
ouired In orchestra and band WORK
have a certain sharpness Of tone, while
those used in corps and military WORK
must have q duller tone, and the drum
must not be so sensitive to the touch.
~And how many parts do you think
a we'll made drum consists Of? Wrong.
It has 24s pieces, not including sticks.
hooks and belt. Everything must be OF
first quality, too, for drum must have
tone first Of all, and It must be con-
structed to withstand rough usage.
Great business is drum making and In
teresting too"

This Horse Knew.

A doctor was returning bone from
visiting a patient Late one night In
company with a clergyman, when the
horse stopped short at one Of the most
dangerous grade crossings within the
dty's limits. Absorbed in lively con-
versation with his clerical friend and
seeing no gate down, be mechanically
touched the horse with the whip and
urged It by his voice to go forward.
But the spirited animal for once would
not respond and instead Of obeying
stepped briskfy aside and turned his
head as far as possible from the train
which Just then whizzed by at the rate
Of forty miles an hour.
It was q close call for the occupants
OF the carriage, who sat breathless
through the moments Of terrible sus-
pense, but the horse. maintained It's
attitude Of q bali circle until the dan
ger bad passed. It seems the gate
keeper was asleep at his post and had
neglected his duty, but the delicate
ears Of the horse had detected the
sound Of the coming train--Boston

ODD ROCK FORMATIONS.
Two Queer Freaks Of Nature on thu
Island Of st. Helena.

Two Queer Freaks Of Nature on the
Island Of st. Helena.
There are at least two queer freaks
Of nature on the island Of St Helena
or rather four, for one Of them Is q
group Of three dguresknown the
world over as the "DeTirs Nose" and
LOT and His Daughters" Any one
who Is able to study the island as It Is
and not run wild over the Napoleonic
legends which have clustered about
that ''seabound rock" since the days
when the Little Corporal was housed
there In bis living grave will find much
that VIII repay for investigation, time
and study.
The uueerest Of the natural forma-
ions are the oddities above alluded to.
The first Of these initiative forms ts a
rocky promontory which has been
known by names which signify Old
Nicks nasal projection since May r.
1902, when Juan Castella and bis men
sighted the island Just in tme to see
the devil disappear beneath the waves
in the best harbor, leaving his noss as
q reminder Of what might happen
should the venturesome Spaniard seek
to take possession Of his Satanic mai
esty's favorite haunts.
"Lot and His Daughters are three
conical rocks which can only be con-
tured into representing man and two
women by a strong play Of the imag-
nation. According to the views OF
some writer's they are weather worn
statues Of colossal size, probably the
work Of some aborigines Of the island.
Their gigantic size, however, would
seem to preclude this idea. When OF
by whom they were dubbed "Lot and
His Daughters no authority has ven
tured to say.

DANGER IN SODA stPHONs.

They May Explode and Cause Injury
to Those Who May Be<Nenr.
Do you know that the sdphon bottle
ordinarily used for vichf, soda water
and other enefvescent drinks is usually
charged with a pressure Of from 120 to
16O pounds to the square inch? The
danger likely to result from an explo-
sion Of one Of these little household ar
tcles Is By no means inconviderable,
and yet the average person handles a
siphon as though It were the most
harmless thing In the world
There ase two or three things to re-
member In handling siphons: Never
keep your siphons near the range, for
the unusual beat Is more likely than
anything else to cause an explosion.
Don't subject the bottle to any sudden
change Of temperature whatever. For
instance. Il you keep your siphons In
the tce boz-and that Is the best and
safest pIaos for them-don't grasp the
glass part Of the bottle with Jour warm
hand, for the srdden change Of temper
ature Is apt 10 cause an explosion The
best way TO carry a siphon at all dimes
Is By the metal top at the head Of the
bottle. Il Is needless to say the great
est care should be taken not to drop a
siphon, for an explosion Is the 1nev-
table result When empty, the siphon
is Of course, quite harmless.
That these bottles are considered q
nreat source Of danger Is evidenced By
the fact that the courts inevitably hold
the bottlers strictly liable for all dam
ages resulting from the explosion OF
one Of them If even the slightest defect
In the manufacture Of the bottle can
be Observation-Disclosures Times.

On Lone Tree HiII.

On Lone Tree hill. in grip of death,
Ten thousand soldiers lie.
And groans and shrieks OF agony
Assail the leaden sky.
Wars dreadful scenes of carnage grim,
Dismembered limb and staring eye.
Wild calls for help and prayers to Him
Who "heeds the ravens cry"
To Him whose ways were peace and love,
Who died forgiving all,
Who taught the brotherhood of man.
Who 'sees each sparrow fall
His tender heart must heed such moan,
Such anguish and such woe;
He sends his angel Azrael,
Blest messenger below.
Peace vainly prays and wells her eyes;
Ahl not alone she sees
These sights and sounds of misery,
But over lands and seas
Are homes bereft and orphans left.
And Widows anguished cry;
And oh! ten thousand mothers hearts,
That break but cannot die.
