DOG INTELLIGENCE.
The Clever "MaIamutes" That Carry
the Mails In Alaska.

The Clever "MaIamutes" That Garry
the Mails In Alaska.
The Eskimo begins to train his dog
for sledge work before it is a month
old. One of the most interesting fea-
lures of Eskimo villages are puppies
tied to the pole of tent. They pull
on the rope with all their puppy
strength in the effort to break away
and join in the frolics of their elders.
Not until dog bred for mail service
is one year old is it put in training for
the trail. 1t begins by running ten
miles with the team; then it is dropped
out. Next day it runs the same dis
lance. Gradually the distance is in
creased until it reaches its fifteenth
month of life, when it becomes part Of
the regular service. The life of a mail
dog is from three to four years. No
greater punishment can be inflicted
than to lay a dog off from service.
When unruly they are often threat
ened with lay-off, and with almost
human intelligence they seem to un-
derstand the disgrace it implies in the
eyes of their fellow workers on the
trail. All fight to be leaders. A con-
slant spur to an unambitious dog is
the outsider" who will quickly take
away the leadership not only in the
mail service. but in teams maintained
chiefly for the pleasure of the sport.
The intelligence Of the malamute is re-.
markable, its scent wonderful, its in
stinct, as a rule, unerring.
Some dogs are better trail followers
than others, as some are better lead
ers. In a blizzard the best of them
lose the trail, but invariably find it.
When on the trail they never eat but
once day, then at the end of jour-
ney. After feeding, like weary chill
dren, they fall asleep and are never
quarrelsome. It takes on an average
twenty pounds Of food day for a
team Of eleven dogs on hard route

Oriain of the Postal Gard.

In 1869. while Professor Emanuel
Hermann Of Vienna was. seeking a
vast amount of information by CORE
spondence for his notable book. 1.-THE
Guide to the Study of National Econ
omy," the thought occurred to him
that many advantages would result
from the adoption of a means of cor.
respondence cheaper than the sealed let
ter. On Jan. &c he went before the
Austrian post director with his idea,
an open, stamped card, and his sugges-
ton was almost Immediately adopted.
Within month the Austrian postal
authorities printed and sold 100000
postal cards and thus established this
indispensable means of communication

A Great Lawyers Method.

Writing of Civilian Leaders of the
Confederacy" in the Louisville Courier.
Journal. John Goode says of Judah P.
Benjamin:
''The first time met him we dis
cussed the practice Of law, and in the
course of the conversation he asked me
what we considered good fee in my
part of the country, to which l replied
that We considered $500 very respect
able fee. He smiled and said: when
I practiced law in New Orleans if a
man employed me charged him a re-
tainer. If he came about the Office
much charged him a reminder, when
had done some work in the case
charged him refresher, and when it
was all over charged him fnisher."

COSTLY MATTRESSES.
The Kind That Ars ussd on the Dis
Plate Glass WAGONS.

The Kind That Ars Ussd on the Dis
Plate Glass Wagons.
Probably about u costly a sort Of
mattress as any is one that is made
not to sleep on at all. but to spread
on the long. broad table or platform Of
the wagons built for carrying plate
glass.
These mattresses, which are made Of
curled hair. are very thin. scarcely
thicker than comfortable, and must
be made with the greatest care to in
sure perfect uniformity of thickness
A lump anywhere would be likely to
break the plate of glass resting upon
1t. and there would be still greater
danger If the weight Of two plates Of
glass was rested on the lump at once.
A mattress for plate glass wagon
costs. according to size. from $50 to
$50. In use the corners Of smaller
plates carried on it cut into the tick
ing covering. and sooner or later it has
to be made over. Simply to make over
such mattress costs from $50 to $50.
On the table topped and mattress
covered. glass wagons the biggest
plates are carried with confidence and
safety. The table is built to remain
absolutely rigid. and the thin but uni
form mattress protects the plate from
jar.
Before plate glass store fronts had
come into common use. when the han
ding Of big plate was counted as
good deal more of q job than it is now.
they used to carry a great pane of
glass in sort Of frame, which was
put on the wagon with the glass in it.
At it's destination this frame or sup
port was worked carefully across the
sidewalk to the store front, where the
glass was dislodged from it to be set.
and altogether the setting Of great
plate of glass was then quite an I'm,
dertaking
Now, with the setting Of such plates
common daily occurrence and with
men skilled in the handling of them.
they simply carry big plate out and
lay it on their mattress covered table
topped wagon and carry it to where
it is to go and there slide it off, to rest
it for moment on blocks on the side
walk, and then they pick it up and
carry it to the window front.
Then they run under the lower edge
Of the glass lifting straps. by which
men standing inside the window as
we'll as men standing outside can lift
on it when the glass is put into place
in the window frame. There again it
is raised on blocks until the straps can
be withdrawn, and then the blocks are
taken out and the glass secured in
place, all this being done with great
care, but still with comparative ease
and quickness and with certainty, and
in these times great panes of glass
are thus moved and set on all but the
windiest days.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

PRESENCE OF MIND.

A Msdhouse Doctors Experience With
His Crazy Cooks.
A celebrated Scotch physician tells a
story of madhouse doctor whose
presence of mind alone saved his life:
"a great friend of mine was for a
considerable time the medical superin-
tendent of lunatic asylum near Glas:
gov.
Zone night in making his customary
rounds he had occasion to visit the pa
tients in the kitchen, who were pre-
pairing the dinner. There were seven
of them, all big, sturdy fellows, who
were believed to he harmless. The
keeper only looked in upon them now
and again, feeling that his constant
presence was unnecessary.
1.-The doctor unlocked the iron barred
door Of the kitchen and went in
among the lunatics.
"There We're five large boilers con-
tanning scalding water ready for max
ing the days dinner for the patients.
Zone of the lunatics pointed at the
boilers full of hot water and, laying
his hand upon the doctors shoulder,
said, Doctor, you'll make fine pot
Of BROTH And the words had no soon
er been uttered than the other six mad
men shouted in a voice of delight,
Just the thing and, Selling the doc
tor, were in the very act of putting
him into one of the large boilers of
scalding water when the doctor had
the presence of mind to say, but not q
second too soon:
"'Capital broth! But it would taste
better If took my clothes off,
'The madmen, with a yell of delight,
said Yes and the doctor asked them
to wait moment while he went and
took his clothes off. But as soon as he
got out of the kitchen he turned the
key in the door and ordered the keep
er to see to the lunatics being put un-
der restraint.
'"The doctors presence of mind saved
him, it is true, from terrible death.
but he died shortly after raving mad.
The experience had destroyed his rea-
son."
