ONLY NEEDED THE COLD RA1n
Sense Of New York Policeman Headed
of Mad Dog Scare.

Policeman Harmon OF the Coney
island station nipped mad dog scare
In the bud the other day, and by the
application of little common sense
saved not only the crowd on the beach
on Seaside park, but the dog itself
from anything worse than an uncom-
Portable Is minutes. The dog was a
brindle bull belonging to Mrs. Garrett
Smith of Quincy street, Brooklyn, and
when it began to act queerly on the
beach scare seemed imminent
Harmon saw the dog and got to It
just about the time that the animal
collapsed. He picked 1t up In his arms
and started on the run for the Coney
island station. o..
Heat prostration. Nothing worse"
was his diagnosis when Mrs. Smith
begged to be told the trouble with her
pet. '" 'nF
In the station Harmon carried the
dog into Capt. Kelley's room, and
Lieut.. Nedwell turned on the cold
water in the captains bathtub. When
the tub was full they dropped the dog
into 1t: In a few minutes it regained
Its senses, and in Is minutes # was
all right again.-N. Y. Times.

THE CENTER OF THE EARTH
How the Zuni Indians Have Marked
the Supposed Spot by q
Crude Shrine.

In the Zuni cosmogony, the earth
is conceived of as fat. and shaped
like pancake. Being a chosen peo-
pie OF the gods they were commanded
early in their tribual career to go TO
the exact center of the world, and
there build their homes; and one OF
the most interesting legends of the
people relates the story of their wan
derings in search of the middle place,
and tells how they knew it when they
reached it. It is about 200 yards south
of their village In western New Mex
leo, 80 miles south of Gallup, on the
Santa Fe route. 1t is marked by
crude shrine, built like bake oven,
out of fat stones. Two large remoy-
able fiagstones close the entrance,
which faces the rising sun.
On the top are number of concre.
tionary formations. known to the In
dians as thunder stones. In the In
terror are large numbers of feather
tufted prayer sticks, and several earth
enware vessels filled with sacred
meal Numerous ceremonial dances,
In the nature OF rainmaking rites. are
performed around this holy place.

Importance of the Cache.

Men whose business takes them into
the wilds have to be very careful
about their supplies. It is of vital ne
cessity that they should be able to OBJ
tain provisions when required, and
that these should not be too far away.
The Canadian dominion government
surveyors, who were running the
fourteenth base line, located cache"
on the Mclean river, a tributary OF
the Athabasca. The supplies were
taken In during the winter. when the
swamps were frozen, and placed on
platform solidly built OF logs, about
ten feet above the ground, so as to be
out of the reach of bears and other
animals. The depredations OF hungry
animals who have destroyed caches"
which their unfortunate makers
thought secure have resulted in more
than one terrible tragedy by starva-
ton in these trackless WILTSHIRE

Subscriptions to the fund for a mon

closed last night with total sum sub
scribed of $G4C.7O. 1t is a great sum
to be raised in this way for such a
purpose, considering that the sums
subscribed are, with few exceptions,
from five cents to one dollar. No such
universal expression of sentiment by
the people of Cairo and neighbOring
towns, has ever been heard Of, and it
is earnestly to be hoped that the occa-
sion will never again arise, that will
call for it.
The money will be deposited today

Why He Knew.

The mild,mannered man was so well
informed about past. present and fu-
ture dates of suffragists' meetings
that some one ventured the opinion
that his wife must be one Of the chief
supporters Of the cause.
You're away off there" said an
other. THAT chap isn't even married.
He's hotel clerk, and has had to add
suffragist meetings to his church,
fHeater and political calendar for the
benefit of women travellers. Out-of
town women who want to be up with
the procession place those meetings
at the head OF New York's attrac-
tons. They haven't time to look up
dates for themselves, so the accom-
modating clerks keep tabs for them"
