A Dogs SELF-SACRIFICE.
Tried to Stop Railroad Train 80
Save the Child of His
Master.

A maStif died of grief under tragic
circumstances just outside Montreal,
Canada a short time ago, reports the
London Express.
He was seen by the engine driver of a
train leaping up and down on the track
and barking furiously. The whistle was
sounded as loudly as possible, but with
no effect. He would not quit the line;
and just before the train came upon him
he gave a loud, piteOus moan, and
crouched right in the permanent way.
The train was stopped, and the officials
examined the case. The dog was found
dead, and under his body little child,
dead also. 1t was the child of the dogs S
master The little fellow had been play
ing on the track, and had afterward lain
there to sleep.
The dog had done his utmost to stop
the train. His last loud howl of grief
was when he found his efforts unavall-
ing, and stretched himself over the lit
tie ones sleeping form to die.
Many other instances might be given
of the dogs faithfulness unto death, but
these will suffice to remind those who
have never had personal experience of
canine devotion in this degree, and.
perhaps, are accustomed to value dog
life cheaply.
How can one best immortaliZe such
noble qualities as those Of that Scar
borough terrier. Could those devoted
animals who have died of grief them
selves say, it seems as though they would
have us be faithful TO all their kith and
kin. as they themselves were faithful
to us.
One more steadfast friend is dead. No
costly sculpture with gilt inscription is
expedient to perpetuate his memory.
Rather let the money go to some good
dogs shelter, and let us all remember
the supreme affection Of this Scar
borough terrier by exercising more
thoughtful regard for all the canine race.

LIFE ON OTHER PLANETS.
All the Progress of Science Has Not
Brought Us Any KnOwI-
edge of 1t.

Upon the question whether life-bear-
ing planets can exist in other solar sys-
TENS than our own the answer Of science
is clear and distinct, says Prof. Maun-
der, in knowledge. 1t is precisely the
same with Prof. NewcOmb recently
gave concerning the possible 1nhab-
itants of Mars: THE reader knows just
as much of the subject as do, and that
is nothing at ALL Within our solar
system we can indeed form some crude
estimate of probabilities; beyond it.
nothing. All the amazing progress Of
modern science, all the revelations made
by the spectroscope or by photography.
all the advance in biology have not
brought us one step nearer an answer
to the question, rs this the only in
habited world?" We stand essentially
where Whewell and Brewster did half
a. century ago, or we might indeed say
where Galileo and Capoano were 300
wears ago. We can indeed spin out the
discussion at greater length than our
predecessors, and can introduce far
larger number of more or less irrelevant
facts. but of serious argument, either for
or against, we are entirely destitute.

a SONG OF DAWN.

Say, have you ever heard
Earliest songs of bird
Ere in the early morn
Diamonds the fields adorn?
Health in the halmy breeze,
Music in all the trees.
Sweetly they carol now;
Slumberer, sleepest thou?
Tuning their sweetest lays
Caroling songs of praise,
Joy days, always,
Caroling notes of praise.
Songs of the early bird
Sweetest you ever heard
Morning begins to break,
Now We are wide awake;
Look how the daylight beams
Flowing in golden streams!
See how the darkness flies
Chased by the amber skies!
Joy on the ltghtest wing,
Making the echoes ring,
Singing, winging,
Praises unto their King.
Now that their song is done.
Watch for the rising sun.
Joy in the eastern sky
Millions in slumber lie.
Slumber and rest are past,
Welcome to day at last!
Let not the hour be late.
Labors of love await;
With buoyant JOY, it seems,
Brightly the morning beams
Night dreams, light gleams-
Wake in it's silver stream"'
May every coming dawn,
Ere it is past and gone,
Happy and cheerful be,
Joyous as this to me;
CloudleSs, except for rain
Nurturing golden grain,
Till when my day is done,
Then with it's setting sun
May the sSee; adngsteTs sing
Glad notes of joy to bring,
Singing, winging,
Sweetly singing.
Praises unto my King

Rise of the Mannish Woman
By DR.. Morgan Dix,
Prominent New York Clergyman.

One of the deplorable monstrosities OF
these degenerate days is the mannish woman.
Women, some of them, / mean, have come
down to the level of mere man. They talk like
men; they smoke like men; they swear, they
gamble, they drink, and do all things that men
do-even dress like men.
I saw woman in a street Car and she had
on mans cravat, mans overcoat, and waist
coat. She looked as much like man as
woman can look and wear skirt and long hair

Employers War on Unionism.

Employers War on Unicnism.
The Citizens Industrial association
of America, in session at Indianapolis
on Washington's birthday, adopted
unanimously and with cheers resolu-
lions that 1.-The propaganda of labor
unionism in the United States and the
everyday practical workings thereof
are revolutionary and subversive of
the rights of labor and of the employ
ers of labor and Of the laws of the
land; above all, they are destructive of
the rights and liberties of the great
body of the people, irrespective of their
utilization with unionism or with en-
ployers of labor" The use of the
union label was also condemned. Mes
sages of good will and approval were
sent to Governor Peabody Of Colorado
and Governor Dockery of Missouri for
their stand against strike violence.
