CANINE MEMORY.

A gentleman who is great traveller
and s1l.T .si..,---.--
he is much attached, arrived one day
in the CITY of Florence. His dog was
for some reason Entrusted 10 Inc GsIG
Of the porter at the station, and in the
excitement of the crowd and under
the unusual experience Of being sep
arated from his master, who generally
kept the animal with him, Bruno was
moved to make his escape. The most
careful search was made, and before
going to his hotel the traveller went
to the police station to notify the gen
darmes of his loss. It was more than
an hour before he reached his hotel.
When he got there he spoke OF his
loss, so that if anything was heard OF
the dog it would be understood that
the animal belonged to him. To his
astonishment the porter said: But
your dog is here, sir. He came be-
fore you, and we did not know to
whom he belonged" "The dog is
here p repeated the gentleman in
surprise. "How came he here {"
"He ran in, sir, about half an hour
ago. and, after snufing about the Of
fee for awhile, he ran upstairs. l
gave orders to have him driven out,
but the boys have been busy, and he
is up there somewhere now" The
traveller, of course, went upstairs at
once, and there on the mat before the
chamber numbered a. lay Bruno, who
spraug up with the most frantic de-
monstrations of delight at finding his
master again. The gentleman re-
membered that two years previous ne
had been with the dog at Florence
and had stayed at this hotel. He did
not remember that he had occupied
this particular room, but on reference
to the hotel register such was found
| TO be the fact.

"F1LTHY LUcRE."

In New York week or so ago the
police dragged a dirty, foul-smelling
old beggar out of tenement house
that was on fire. He had been hurt
and had to be taken to a hospital.
The probabilities are that he had not
had bath in twenty years. At the
hospital the attendants removed his
clothing. His legs and part of his
body were "plastered with 81, 81, IS
and SO bills" amounting to several
hundred dollars in all. Imagine those
bills going back into circulation and
being handled by people who wet
their fingers in their months as they
turned the bills over And the prob
abilities are that there are tens OF
thousands of bills in circulation which,
if their history were known, are not
less loathsome than the bills taken
from the body and legs of the old
miser in New York. Isn't the idea
enough to disgust anybody with. the
dirty, pulpy, greasy, foul-smelline
old bills?
Torn and dirty bills are not per
mitted to circulate in Great Britain
If a nation were to be judged by its
paper money, we should stand con
victed of being very dirty and i'll
smelling people.

GIRLS SHOULD BE DIGNIF1ED.

- 1{S>S tszes eese ss...~tlaia.s we.., se.fd
on the woman's page OF the Boston
Herald concerning the behavior of
girls, and the frequent cause of COM
plant against them for bad manners.
There is still something to be said,
but on quite another side of the mat
ter, and that is the need that girls
should be exacting in the manners of
the young men who are their COM
panions, as we'll as they should be
careful of their own.
Quite how far girls are responsible
for the behavior of the men with
whom they associate one cannot say,
but it is in much larger degree than
is generally supposed, and it is not too
much to say that girls cannot be too
strict in their demands. Little lapses
of manner should not go unrebuked,
else larger ones may follow.
Of course it is conceded that the
girl requires little courage some
times, and the young woman breads
to give offence or have herself dubbed
naughty and disagreeable, but this
should not for a moment deter her
from holding her associates of the
other sex to the standard of manners
which she should set high.
Some young men have an abomin-
able practice of touching young wo-
man unwarrantably; they will take
hold of her arm on the street to help
her over gutter or up stair when
there is not the slightest need for as
sistance. 1t is only exceptionally ex-
pected nowadays that a man should
offer his arm to a lady with whom he
is walking at night.
At dance not long ago young
girl seated herself, following a waltz,
in large arm chair, whereupon her
partner perched himself upon the arm.
Instantly the girl arose and, not dar-
ing to say anything, rebuked the Of
fender by look. The young man also
rose up quickly and begged her par
don. 1t is quite safe to say that his
manner will never be lax in the pres
ence of that girl again.

her with her fan, which was attached
10 IIeI UCLL Uy q 1asnSH S1.S-s 49,
She should have detached the fan and
handed it to him outright. The fan
ming was perfectly admissible, but
the too apparent familiarity was un-
pleasant in this case.
Girls should not only be digniled
in their own behavior, but command
dignity from those by whom they are
surrounded. Besides, young men
really often err through ignorance,
and if they are of the right stuff, and
are worth making friends of, they
will be grateful for little lessons Civ
en- with a courtesy that is yet abso-
lutely unmistakable.

DON'T WAIT FOB THE FUNERAL.

her Paisley shawl with great care.
''Now, there is poor Mis- Brown, y
she added, as she pinned her Sunday
bonnet into the green veil. How

said to-day Iwouldn't t wonder one

broke, he acted just as if Mis- Brown
did it herself on purpose, and they
all caught it, like the measles or the
whooping-c cough.
And the minister a-telIing how
the deacon brought his wife here
when t want nothing but wilder
ness; and how patiently she bore
hardship, and what good wife she'd
been Now, the minister wouldn't
have known anything about that if
the deacon hadn't told him. Dear,
dear if he'd only told Mis- Brown
herself what he thought l do believe
he might have saved the funeral.
And when the minister said how
the children would miss their mother,
seemed as though they couldn't stand
it, poor things Well, / guess it is
true enough. Mis- Brown was always
doing for some of them. When they
were singing about sweet rest in
heaven, l couldn't help thinking that
that was something Mis- Brown
would have to get used to, for she
never had none of it here.
"She'd have been awful pleased
with the Mowers. Ihey were pretty,
and no mistake. You see, the deacon
want never willing for her to have

prettier sight to see good cabbages

things, like sweet peas and such.
"What did you say, Levi? Most

SO it is l must have got medita-

needn't tell the minister anything
about me. If the pancakes and the
pumpkin pies are good just say so as
we go along. 1t amt best to keep

1t has been said that thunder storms
are influenced by the moon. Nearly
I2,o 900 observations collected by Ha-
zen in the United States in the year of
1884 show preponderance of thirty
three per cent. in the first half of the
lunar month. The greatest number
of thunder storms come between the
new moon and the first quarter the
least number between the full moon
and the last quarter. This is, per-
haps, the only satisfactory evidence
that we have that the weather is at

this case the effect is so slight that it
