The bulldogs tenacity Of grip is pro-
verbal, but he also possesses grip of
quite another sort, one which enables
him to stick to his oruers in spite of
untoward circumstances. The Allan
ia Constitution gives an example of a
dogs faithfulness. "Stub's" master
had gone away for the night and had
left the dog to guard his apartments.
In the evening the house caught fire,
and before the fire engine arrived the
blaze had gained firm hold and little
could be saved. Some of the men dis.
covered the dog and tried to coax or
drive him from the room, but Stub
held his post. His would-be rescuers
did all they could to tole him out, but
he would not bulge. Warning growls
showed that he would use his teeth II
the men resorted to force, and finally,
in their efforts to save the dog, the
firemen turned two streams of water
on him. Even this did not dislodge
him.
The dogs master was found and no.
tilted of the fire. When he reached his
home the roof had fallen in and the
building was a mass of flames. He
gave one clear whistle, and Stub, who
had defied fire and water and all hu.
man inducements, bounded out of the
house, and the next instant was lick.
ing the hand which caressed him.

FRUIT Is PACKED IN PEAT,

French Com pany In Mexico Solves a
Most Difficult Problem.
What is considered highly impor-
the matter Of the shipment of fruits.
1t Is believed that solution has final
ly been found of the problem of trans
porting delicate tropical fruits long
distances.
The experiments have been made by
a French company, under the auspices
Of the French government. The ship
ments have been made from Guiana
and the island of Guadeloupe, in the
Lesser Antilles, to France, and the
outcome is declared most satisfac-
tory.
The success Of the new system
means much for Mexico, as it would
blaze q way for new branch of in
dustry that must be source of great
riches to the country.
The secret Of the new process is the
development of the fruit in a particu-
lar kind of peat or turf. that, namely,
which is known as yellow Dutch peat.
Pineapples, bananas, mangoes, sapO-
tas and other delicate fruits have been
taken when in perfectly ripe condi.
ton, enveloped In the fbrous sub.
stance, and, after several weeks spent
il transportation. have arrived at
their destination in a perfectly fresh
and sound condition.
Peat, as is known. is vegetable mat
ter more or less decomposed, which
passes by insensible degrees into lig-
mite. The less perfectly decomposed
peat is generally Of a brown color.
that which is perfectly decomposed is
often black. Now. moist peat, 1t has
for some time been known. possesses
a decided and powerful antiseptic
property. This is ascrit ed to the pres
ence Of gallic acid and tannin. It is
manifested not only In the perfect
preservation Of ancient trees and Of
leaves. fruits and the like, but some
times even Of animal bodies. Thus in
The Western news., 1904-12-28

some instances human bodies have
been found perfectly preserved in
peat, after the lapse of centuries.
For the new method Of shipping
fruits light brown and consequently
only imperfectly decomposed. peat is
taken in certain state of moisture,
and the fruit is Theoretically inclosed
therein. A certain degree of humidity
is maintained until the fruit Is ready
for unpacking.
1t Is said that no offensive odor is
communicated to the fruit. but 1t must
be remembered that the full details Of
the process have not been made
known by the French shippers, and It
is possible that there may be some
Interior treatment of the turf that
prevents the fruit from being robbed
Of any Of its delicious SAVIOR.
A successful outcome in this mat
ter would be of exceeding moment.
The gourmets Of Europe and Of the
United States who have never left
their home country are unaware Of
the true flavor of the finest tropical
fruits. No way had hitherto been
found for shipping these fruits with
their full richness Of taste. In order
that they may not arrive in state of
putrefaction after journey they have
to be picked not only immature. but
before the pulp has reached its full
development. and when the fruit is
still fbry, and no artificial means is
known whereby a fruit plucked in
this condition can ever be brought to
a condition Of real maturity. Without
maturity the full flavor does not exist.

SELF.sUPPORTIN0 OLD WOMEN.

Gray-Haired GRANDMOTHER Who Find
Work for Their Feeble Hands.
The little grandmother in clean, stiff
white apron, and gray hair so smooth
that it seemed to be actually stretched
across her old brow, was more offend
ed than pleased to be told that she was
attractive because she was Old-fash-
ioned. But old-fashioned she certain
ly was, and attractive, too, sitting in
the sunlight of window where few
brave red geraniums were growing, as
she wound ball after ball Of strips of
cloth for rag carpets. In the same
corner Of part of the building in the
West Side district of New York where
the Charity Organization Society pro-
vides employment for INDECENT women
sat half a dozen others, none of them
as quaint nor as "spick and span" as
the little grandmother but all of them
just as busy with the raw material for
rag carpets.
And out of this charity work, de-
signed to furnish an opportunity for
earning little money to women not
strong enough for harder labor, has
grown quite an industry-the making
of rugs. 1t is a curious anomaly that
women who are among the poorest
and most helpless in the whole city are
important in the making of an article
that Is constantly In demand by the
dealers Of the very highest class who
handle this sort Of goods.
Remarkably pretty and very service
able are the rugs which are made by
these old women Of the West Side, but
l must give credit for that to Mrs.
Hinsdale, who is manager of this part
Of the establishment. The rugs made
here are of the sort that are desired
for the floors Of summer cottages, or
for rooms which are fitted with fur
niture Of the mission style. They are
woven as rag carpets are, but are
more carefully designed and made OF
better material. The old women have
only part in the making of the rugs,
as the cutting of the cloth and the
dyeing and weaving are done outside

Try him they did, with the result
that individually he did more to aid

Kosciuszko it was who by his knowl-
edge of engineering constructed ram

who planned and completed the works
at West Point.
At the close Of the war he returned
to his own Poland that he might aid in
bringing to her the blessings of liberty
that he had already helped another
land to win. But his fight was in vain.
At the siege of Warsaw, when he fell
covered with wounds, when the Rus
slams were entering the city. he ex-
claimed, 1.-The end of Poland"

Of the cause of liberty. From the par

own the words and deeds Of her brave
patriot have gone through the whole
world, animating other lands to love
of liberty. One act will not measure
the value of a mans service to the
cause he fights for. Warsaw fell, but
Thaddeus Kosciuszko's memory will
live as long as man remembers the
name Of liberty.
It is not the name Of the victor that
the goddess of fame inscribes on hel
golden tablet. It is the name Of hin
who fought for right.

The emptiness Of ages In his face
And on lis back the burden of the world.
Who made him dead to rapture and de-
spair.
A thing that grieves not and that never
hopes.
Stohd and stunned, brother to the OK?
Who loosened and let down this brutal
jaw?
Whose was the hand that slanted back
this brow1
Whose breath blew ont the hight within
this brain7
II this the Thing the Lord God made
and gave
To have dominion over sea and land:
To trace the stars and search the heav-
ems for power;
To feel the passion Of Eternity
Is this the Dream He dreamed who
shaped the suns
And pllared the blue armament with
Hight?
Down all the stretch Of He'll to its last
gulf
There is no shape more terrible than
this
More tongued with censure Of the worlds
blind greed
More filled with signs and portents for

More fraught with menace to the uni

Are Plato and the swing Of Pleiades?
What the long reaches Of the peaks Of

The rift Of dawn, the reddening Of the

Times tragedy is in that aching stoop;
Through this dread shape humanity be-
trayed,
Plundered. profaned and disinherited
Cries protest to the Judges Of the World.
A protest that is also prophecy.
o masters, lords and rulers in all lands,
Is this the handiwork you give to God,
This mOnstrous thing distorted and soul
quenched?
How will you ever straighten up this
shape;
Touch it again with immortality;
Give back the upward looking and the
light;
Rebuild in it the music and the dream;
Make right the immemorial infamies,
Perfidious wrongs. immedicable woes?
o masters, lords and rulers in all lands,
How will the Future reckon with this
Man?
How answer his brute question in that
hour
When whirlwinds Of rebellion shake the
world?
How will it be with kingdoms and with

With those who shaped him to the thing

When this dumb Terror shall reply to
God,
After the silence Of the centuries?
