DOG WINS CASE FOR MASTER
New York Man Charged with Drunk
enness Given His Liberty for
Saving Animals Life.

Moved to l~eniency by the dumb but
eloquent appeal Of a sagacious dog,
Recorder Stanton, Of New York, Ie-
Gently ordered John Ostrander dis
charged from custody. He had been
arraigned before the recorder on a
charge of drunkenness. About a year
ago Ostrander found a little yellow dog
lying on the veranda of his home. He
took the animal in. and since then the
DOG has shown the deepest affection for
him.
During the summer Ostrander has been
in the habit Of taking the dog TO the
Bath bridge" which extends into the
Hudson, and there permitting his pet
to battle. The other day however, the
tide being strong, the dog had difficulty
in keeping afloat, and Ostrander, fear.
ing for its safety, dived off the bridge
and brought the animal ashore.
Dock hands near by. seeing the mans
condition. supplied him with a quantity
of whisky, and went on their way. The
effect Of the spirits, combined with the
%ducking, had left Ostrander In a sorry
plight, When Recorder Stanton heard
the mans story he complimented him
upon the act and said that if he had
been kind enough to save a dogs life a.
the risk of his own, he should be dis
charged.

CRAZE UNDERWATER
When Heritage Is Scant in Australia
the Animals Dip Into Shallow
Pools for Weeds. 4.

While on a cattle station in western
Australia Mr.. Henry Taunton had an op.
%portunity of seeing a remarkable in
stance of the way in which animals can
adapt themselves to their surroundings.
He describes it in "Australind."
On the upper reaches of the river there
was a large pool just fordable at mosi
times, but in a dry season very low
Among the horses making their run III
the vicinity of this pool, and old marc
and a bevy OF foals and yearlings used
to come down every day in the long, dry
summer, when the heritage was scant
and scorched into dryness. They waded
into the pool until the water nearly
reached they heads, and stood there for
hours, diving to the bottom for a mouth.
ful of succulent weeds, which they
chewed at leisure with their dripping
heads above the water.
The first time | witnessed this strange
sight was during a dry season when !
was riding with the oyerseer in search oil
some strayed stock. AS we approached
the pool. my companion babe me keep
quiet II | desired to see something well
worth looking at. AS we rode quietly
up to the pool saw a group Of horses
standing in the water, and disappearing
from time to time as they ducked their
heads below the surface. Ny wonder
was oon at a n end when | saw one OF
their heads suddenly come out with a
mouthful of dripping weeds. No sooner
was this mouthful disposed Of than the
head disappeared in search of another.
The oyerseer told me that during q
long drought some five or six years prev.
ious, when hardly a vestige Of feed was
left on the run, and bush fires had laid
bare the sand-plalns, the old mare had
discovered that there was plenty Of
luscious feed at the bottom Of the pools,
which could be procured by diving for
It.; and having once put her discovery
into practice. she continued to do out oil
preference what she had been driven tC
do by necessity.
The several generations of foals which
she had reared had all followed her ex-
ample, although none of the %full-growD
horses had Joined the amphibious group,
Here, then, seemed to be a new variety
of horse In evolution which, If left undis.
turbed, might breed and separate from
the run, perhaps to survive through
droughts severe enough to oXterminate
all others.

SHIPPING FRUIT IN BOXES.
The Practice Is a Good One and Should
Be Adopted by Fruit Growers
Everywhere.

The relative advantages Of barrels
and boxes as packages for fruit were
given a very thorough discussion at the
recent meeting Of the Western Horti-
cultural society. The advantages of
the boxes are chiefly, that they can be
made and obtained more easily and
cheapiy, and that fancy fruit generally
sells for a higher price in them as it can
be packed solid in nice ever rows, like
oranges; also the export trade is accus-
toned to this kind Of package, and 1t sells
more readily and for a higher price
abroad.
The principal disadvantage is that it
requires an expert packer TO put in fruit
In this way. 1t is also true that there
is practically no opportunity to work in
uneven or poor fruit in a box. 1t de-
ponds on the point of view whether this
is to be classed as an advantage or a dis
advantage.
AS to barrels, they are increasingly
expensive and difficult to get, and it
requires skilled labor to make them,
Their principal advantages seem to be
that 1t does not require skilled labor 10
fill them, and that they are easier to
move because they al be rolled.
There seems to be a good deal Of
conservative clinging to an old-fash-
Toned custom In this respect despite the
fact that barrels tend to bruise and in
jure fruit. West of the Rocky noun
tains, however, barrels are no longer
used, partly because they cannot be cas-
lily obtained and partly because only the
very choicest fruit is shipped, and boxes
are preferable for this grade.

MANY FREAKS OF ICEBERCS
Fishermen Of Newfoundland Possess
Curious Faculty Of Smell
ing Them.

The fishermen OF Newfoundland pos.
sess the curious faculty Of being able,
as they say, to smell" icebergs, and
thereby escape many encounters with
them, relates P. T. McGrath, in Nc.
Clure's. Really. however, the fact is
that the approach Of a berg is heralded
by a sudden and decided cooling of the
atmosphere, which these experienced
mariners o o perceive, and are
warned by. But oftentimes a vessel
will run into a nest Of them. and may
have to be towed TO safety by her boats.
A frequent cause Of disaster Is that,
the submerged section Of a berg being
caught in the grip OF a current, the
mass moves steadily against wind and
sea and crashes into the craft before
she can escape.
The same circumstances cause the
remarkable sight sometimes witnessed,
Of foes driven one way by the wind,
while bergs cut a wide swath through
them in another direction, impelled
by the currents. The lee Of a berg is
often a favorite shelter from storm,
and Arctic steamers. northern whalers
and Newfoundland sealers frequently
adopt the move %expedient of ~anchoring
to bergs which experience shows them
to be surely balanced.

TEE LAUGHING PHILOSOPHER.

-
There was a great philosopher
Lived years and years ago;
And ouch a merry soul was he
They called him Laughing Joe.
For laugh lie would throughout the year,
Let things go wrong or right;
Let Fortune smile or Fortune frown.
His heart was ever light.
And little children every day
Would gather round his place
To listen TO his hearty laugh
Or see his smiling face.
But gloomy-minded people said :
They thought II was o hame
A man should be disposed to laugh
AT good and bad the same,
At last they gathered In a crowd
And pulled his dwelling down;
They hustled him around the streets
And drove him from the town,
To find a home beyond the sea
Upon a foreign strand,
And never dare to set a foot
Upon his native land.
But when they chased him from the realm
Those people llttle knew
What even one good-naturcd soul
And smiling face can do.
Now children seeking after Joe
Wo:ld round the ruins stray.
And gricvc because the people drove
Thelr laughing friend away.
And long before a year went by
Those bad-behaving men,
Sent messengers across the sea
To coax him back again.
And out they ran with prlncely gifts
TO meet him at the shore.
And begged him there 10 live and laugh
In peace for evermore.
