Dust catchers in Berlin.

Health officials of Berlin have been
experimenting with a curious looking
device to ascertain if the street dust
contains microbes calculated to spread
infectious diseases among the resi-
dents. The apparatus, which is af-
fixed to pillars in the most frequented
streets, looks like tin chimney top,
with a scoop-shaped opening at the
top
1t is watched all day long by one of
the street cleaners, who climbs up
and Chaps on cover whenever there
is the least possibility of rain falling.
The dust arrested by the scoop as
it is driven past in the atmosphere

THE MISSOURI MULE.

A mule from Chulu brought $3.50
on the st. Louis market few months
ago. This mule from Chulu has as
many ancestors as anybody, but from
now on, as Mr.. Folk would say,
nothing doing. OF course, everybody
knows that Missouri leads the world
on mules, and Chulu town leads
Missouri that's why we talk. A mule
colt will bring from SIS to $50 on the
streets of Chulu, about 81 a pound.
They are seldom offered for sale,
however, as a mule was never known

worth his five-yearold price. He
can always do anything he could eve,
de. At thrty-fiye he looks the same,
acts the same, is the same a. d

thirty y-second, twice removed accident

His noble ears and mealy nose.
His elistening coat ard polished
toes
His fine straight legs and ribs Of
steel
His muscles tense as when You feel

His tendons Of the STRENGTH it brings
TO twist q million catgut strings.
I:e drags the battle engines forth
And proud to prove on field his

He dies like one Of noble birth

To divorce mountains from their

He dies at last a giant king
Of all the creatures earth can
bring,
And leaves no child his praise to
