oauoe for Measuring sootfaIl.

The Pittsburgher who resents the timeworn variations of the soft coal smoke gibes now has his chance to prove that they are unjustitied, or re- main forever silent By new inyen- tion it is at present possible to measure the sootfall of any city as accurately as it's rain or snowfall may be meas ured. Already this soot gauge. tried out in England. has proved what the tourist long suspected that London. with all it's yellow fog, has far purer air than the North of England factory cities of Birmingham. Manchester and tho like. Not only have Pittsburgh and other slandered American cities the opportunity to whiten their sooted regulations, but the manufacturer. too. may now establish accurately the ex- act proportion of his contribution to the civic soot; for the new device judges the quality as well as the amount of sootfall and is quite capable of distinguishing between the factory. furnace and kitchen range.-Literary Digest.

 Thank you for taking care of him I am at the Royal Hotel" He nodded, and with Pitchoune under his arm pushed his way through the crowd and out of the bazaar.
 He could not interview the dog him. self, although he listened. amused. to Pitchoune's own manner of speech. He spent the latter part of the evening composing a letter to the minister of war, and although it was short, it must have possessed certain evident and telling qualities, for before he left Al giers proper for the desert, Sabron received a telegram much to the point;

magnetically drawn by her thoughts into song which she played softly through. Pitchoune heard and turned his beautiful head and his soft eyes to her. He knew that tune. Neither drums nor trumpets had played it. but there was no doubt about its being fit for soldiers. He had heard his master sing it, hum it. many times. It had soothed his nerves when he was a sick puppy and it went with many things of the intimate life with his master He remembered it when he had dozed by the fire and dreamed of chasing cats and barking at Brunei and being faithful dog all around; he heard again beloved voice hum it to him. Pitchoune whined and softly jumped down from his seat. He put his fore paws on Miss Redmonds lap. She stopped and caressed him, and he licked her hand
 That is the first time I have seen that dog show a spark of human gratitude, Julia. He is probably beg ging you to open the door and let him take a run"
 Indeed Pitchoune did go to the door and waited appealingly.

Homesick.

Pftchoune was a soldiers dog, born fn stable, of mother who had been dear to the canteen Michette had been une vrais viyandiere. a real daughter of the regiment
 Pftchoune was worthy son. He adored the drums and trumpets. He adored the fife. He adored the drills which he was accustomed to watch from respectable distance. He liked Brunei, and the word had not yet been discovered which would express how he felt toward Monsieur le Capitaine. his master. His muscular little form expressed 1t in every fiber. His brown eyes looked it until their pathos might have melted heart of iron.
 There was nothing picturesque to Pitehoune in the Chateau d'Esclgnac or in the charming room to which he was brought The little dog took a flying tour around it, over sofas and chairs, landing on the window-seat, where he crouched. He was not wicked, but he was perfectly miser- able, and the lovely wiles of Julia Red mond and her endearments left him unmoved He refused meat and drink. was indifferent to the views from the window. to the beautiful view of King Rene's castle, to the tantalzing cat stunning herself against the wall.

 "Ah!- breathed Miss Redmond in- differently.
 She slowly went over to her piano and played a few measures of music that were torture to Pitchoune, who found these ladylike performances in strong contrast to drums and trumpets. He felt himself as a soldier degraded and could not understand why he should be relesated to a salon and to the mild society of two ladies who did not even know how to pull his ears or roll him over on the rug with their riding boots and spurs. He sat against the window as was his habit. looking watching, yearning.
