Dogs at st. Bernard.

Although the tunnels which now
connect Switzerland with Italy have
greatly decreased the Importance of
the st. Bernard and other passes, es-
peciaIly during the eight months of
snow, it is still deemed advisable to
employ ST. Bernard dogs. It is no
longer customary, however. to send
out the dogs alone with baskets of
food and drink; a man always accom-
panies them.
These dogs are not really of the IA
NOUS old ST. Bernard breed That
originated in the fourteenth century
through a cross betw cen a shepherd
dog from Wales and a Scandinavian
dog whose parents were Great Dane
and Pyrenean mastiff The last pure
descendant of this tribe was buried
under an avalanche in 1916. Fortu-
nately there were found subsequently
at Martigny and on the Simplon Pass
a few dogs which by crossing with
mates from Wales yielded the modern
st. Bernard dog, which is physically
even stronger than his medieval
namesake and shares most of his
traits

II Was All a Misake

A Springfield (Mass) woman grew
suspicious of her husband and be-
lieved him to be in the habit of kiss
ing a pretty servant girl in her en-
ploy, so she decided to watch him
and catch him in the act. She heard
him enter the kitchen quietly one eve
ming when the pretty esrvant girl was
out She Immediately placed a shawl
over her head, and, with matches in
hand, entered the dark kitchen by the
back door and was almost immediate
" seized and kissed in the most ar
dent manner Bent on administering
d terrible rebuke, she tore loose his
embrace and struck a match. There
stood the servant girls beau.

Dug All Day for a Fox That the Laird
Had Seen Entering Hole Ten
Years Before.

The following up of a report is often
as improbable as the search for the
end of a rainbow, or the childish at
tempt to scoop the moon up from a
roadside puddle. 1t is, however, a
satisfying exercise of natural instincts
on the part of born hunters. In
"Raiderland" Mr. S. R. Crockett gives
an instance of this readiness to take
up a clew and follow it to the end.
A south country laird, with his man
John, was riding to market. The laird
and John were passing a hole in the
moor, when the laird turned his thumb
over his shoulder and said: John, 1
saw a tod (fox) gang in therei"
Did We, indeed, laird?" cried John,
all his hunting blood instantly on
fire. Ride ye your lane to toon; I'll
hawk the craituT oot,
Back went John for pick and spade.

How Boss Tweed Abjecty Begged
That He Put Stop to the Prose
cuton and Offered Him an
Immense Fortune.

In 1872 Samuel j. Tilden undertook
to overthrow the so-called notorious
Tweed ring in New York City. To
aid in that work Mr.. Tilden became
candidate for the legislature, to which
he was elected, and there he was
largely instrumental in bringing about
the impeachment proceedings against
two judges of the state supreme court
who were accused of having been
mere servants of the Tweed ring. Mr..
Tilden was also the leader of those
who undertook the criminal prosecu-
ton of Tweed, and it was chiefly
through Mr.. Tilden's marvellous power
of analysis that it was possible to
demonstrate that Tweed's share in

Light on Care Of Dependent Children
In ST. Louis Conference.

intendent Of the Sockanosset School
For Boys of Howard, r. l., in an adj
dress before the seventh annual SEES
sion of the national conference on the
education of backward, truant. delin-
quent and dependent children, which
recently began its sessions in st. Louis.
'sRather show him how useful he can
become. Lead him to think that good
is expected from every one and that
he amounts to something" This was
the keynote of this session.
The speaker defined state indus
trial school as an institution provided
and supported by the state for the care
and instruction of delinquent children
sent there by the authorities for cause
and whose object it is to fit them as
law abiding citizens, independent OF
the condition that was their undoing.
