v>-\ -1 A Dog as Postmaster's Assistant | A little po3to?Bce near Witmer'e, on i the main line of the Pennsylvania Rail- | road, enjoys the unique distinction of uejug me oniy omce in toe counwy wherein a dog officiates as assistant postmaster. Postman Mussleman's canine assistant is a little St. Charles spaniel called Beauty, upon whom has devolved for five years the task of bringing from Witniers station, a halfmile distant, the bundle of morning papers from Philadelphia. Two bundles, a large one and a small one, are thrown ofi at the Btation. Regularly every morning Beauty trots over the fields to the station and patiently awaits the arrival of the tram. When the two bundles are thrown oft Beauty seizes the smaller one in her mouth and trots directly nome. &ne never maKes a mistake, always taking the smaller bundle; neither does she loiter along by the roadside, but covers the distance between TVitmer's and the croB8-roads postoffice at a speed that would do credit to Nancy Hanks herself. Beauty has been assistant postmaster almost ince her birth, and could hardly be eplaced.?Philadelphia Record. A S: rpent of the Sea. Chancellor Rnnd, of McMaster University, recently received by express a box, which, when opened, was found a snake some niue feet long, of slender build, and of a dull mud color. An accompanying letter explained the arrival. Last May, while on the way from the Philippine Islands, the Theodore H. Rand, a shin named after the Chancelor, was caught in a heavy gale off the African coast. Everything was battened down, and yet, after some hours, during which the seas ran bodily over the vessel, the helmsman felt something like a rope around his leg, and looking down, was horrified to find this anake. The ship at the time was more than a hundred miies off the shore. WSS closely battened, and bad not been in port for some weeks. Many theories have been raised to account for the reptile's presence, some thinking it had been washed aboard during the storm; others, that it had lain dormant lince the ship left port, and others suggest* ing that a genuine sea serpent had at last been fouDd. The Captain forwurded the snake to the Cbanceler as a curiosity.?Toronto (Oanuda) Empire. An Old Lady's Way.

In Paris alone there are several hundred. The Americans exceed considerably the French in average stature, yet it is this country that has produced the greatest number of real dwarfs?that is, so far as the fact can be determined in the absence of statistics. Bpain, Italy and Greece cannot be numbered among the giant producing countries, though the people are of good average stature and well formed in general. The qusstion of climate and food is and has always been intimately connected with that of height. It is only natural that the peoples of Germany, Scandinavia, England Scotland should be taller than those about the Mediterranean. The life of their ancestors was harder. They passed a more active existence in forestj and in the ch<ise. The comparatively easy life of the inhabitants of warmer countries, with a greater proportion of vegetable food, produced contrary results, the effects in either case being prolonged from age to age by heredity. The occasional appearance of dwarfs among a people above the average size, or of very tall men and women among a people smaller than the average, as in Prance may, perhaps, be attributed to Bome ancestral peculiarity reappearing in the family after the lapse of Beveral gen- i t:??

A story told recently was of a big burly fellow who used to drive a team from the Kenuebec Valley into Piscataquis County, selling crackers for a bakery. On one of the outlying farms on his road lived a small man who had won almost a State reputation for beat*- ? ua fko nor^^lof ing OlS CrCUltUlOi UC 1UVW wuv who did not know him, and bought a barrel of crackers to be paid for when he came back along on his return trip. By that time the peddler was posted on the peculiarities of his customer. He was told at the house he was out in the field and went to seek him. When he asked for his pay the little fellow cocked his head on one Bide and looked up at him with a leer. "Who are you?" he lisped. "I don't know you. I never bought any crackers of you." Tae peddler grabbed him by the collar and began to swish the air with him. "Don't know me, do you? Ain't acquainted with me, hey? Don't know who I am? Never bought any crackers of me, hey?"

It consists first of a "charging machine," which is a powerful crane iet directly before the furnace. When in use the furnace doors are automatically opened, a huge mass of white heated metal is seized by a long steel arm having five projecting claws, and immediately the metal ia worked down to the required dimensions through a set of rollers, and is then carried to a second set of rollers, where it is cut into lengths to be used for building beams. The set of rollers comprise a portion of the machine, which is capable of handling 6000 pounds of metal, and will do the work of 150 men perfectly. It is the second largest machine of its kind in the United States. ?Son Francisco Chronicle. i The Useful Hesqnlte.

A MESQCTTE (PB080PI8 JT7LIPLORA). dant shrubs of the desert regioo from western Texas to central Arizona. L. H. Dewey, in a report to the Secretary of Agriculture, says of this characteristic vegetation of the desert region, mentioned that it varies in size fiom a straggling bush two feet high to a well formed tree fifty feet nign, witn a mint two feet in diameter. Away from water it seldom becomes much of a tree. It is of such slow growth that it is almost impossible to count the annual layers. The wood is very hard and brittle, and it is commonly said that it is easier to break it with the back of the az than to cut it with the blade. The mesquite forms the chief wood supply of the re* gion, In the streets of San Antonio it makee probably the finest wood pavement in the country. The fruit of the mesquite, or mesquite beans, is prepared in various ways for food. t, Came Abundant in New Ensland.

Since that time, however, they have begun to appear again; serious depredations are reported down through that district and over into the Canadian provinces, and considerable numbers of bears are shot.?Lewiston (Me.) Journal.! "Weighbridge." English farmers, many of them, have opposed the American plan of selling cattle by live weight. They preferred to estimate the weight of a steer after measuring its "gritb," or the distance around its bbdy. There are farmers whose practiced eye could come very close to tbe exact weight after knowing the girth and noticing the general shape of the animal. It was, after all, much WEIGHING PLATFORM. like estimating the amount of milk given bv a cow during the year. A good pair of scales in either case will quickly show the weakness of the "guess" system. Recently laws have been passed in .England making the scales the legal recorder of live stock weight. As a result, manufacturers have devised many new patterns of scales for weighing animals. The illustration shows one popular style, largely advertised in English papers. The English call it a "weighbridge," just as they call an elevator a "lift." The animal is driven into the cage, where it cannot step off the weighing platform. At some public places tnese "weighbridges" are fitted with a penny-in-the-slot fixture. The farmer drives his steer or sheep on the scales, drops bis penny in the hole and out comes a tag with the weight printed on it and certified to for correctness.? Rural New Yorker.

I have eaten apples all my life, but never learned how to make the best use of them till last winter; it is worth living half a century to tind out the real, value of the fruit. Now we eat apples half an hour before our meals inetead of afterward. We eat all we want before breakfast and before diuner. The result has been 60 decidedly in favor of the fruit diet that we have very 1 1_ J? -a ^ nni_ _ * iurgeiy uroppeu meat. i ne acnon oi me acid is then admirable in aiding digestion, while if eaten after meals the apple is likely to prove a burden. We follow the game line in using grapes, pears, cherries and berries. If disturbed by a headache or dyspepsia in summer, I climb a cherry tree and eat all I can reach and relish. In order to have cherries all summer I cover a dozen trees with mosquito netting to keep off the birds. Currants and gooseberries I find very wholesome eaten raw from the bushes before going to the dining table. Natrje has prepared a large amount of food already cooked, exactly fitted for all demands of the human system. Our kitchen cooking never equals nature's. I am by no means a vegetarian or a fruitarian, but I am convinced that we have oot yet measured the value of fruit as a diet with milk, ejfgs and vegetables. Some one being told that such fruit would not give a . workman muscular strength, pointed to' ' to his adviser's oxen, saying, "Yet these oxen eat no meat."?American Gardening. Tripe. Te have been challenged to pronounce in opinion on the dietetic virtues of tripe, an article of food which is largely consumed in certain parts of the country, especially during the' winter months. Tripe consists of the soft muscular walls and mucous membrane of the stomach of ruminant animals, with a small proportion of'delicate omental fat adhering, '?? " Vi?nroMr all fihrmi* nnrt.innn iJVUJ TTU1WU) UVTT V* wvkvww of the serous covering, or peritoneum, have been removed. From frequent experiments it has been proved that tripe stands high in the list of albuminous substances that are quickly acted on by the gastric juice and reduced to a state ot solution, and has, therefore, acquired a reputation for digestibility. But plain boiled trip' in itself is a very insipid article of food, and in order to make it palatable the art of the cook has to be , invoked, wuicn, wnue ma&iug it uiuic /'savory," causes it often, when so served, to be an offense to the stomach. The usual mode of serving tripe in thia country is to boil it with milk and onions, and there can belittle doubt that such a combination is not particularly digestible. Tripe is also sometimes fried \n batter, but unless very carefully cook ed it k apt to become leathery. If only plainly boiled in water it requires a considerable amount of condiments in the shape of salt, pepper and mustard to make it acceptaole to the palate. Therefore, tripe as usually cooked, though an excellent dish for strong stomachs, is, owing to the ingredients added to it, not always so suitable for persons of weak digestion as has been supposed.?-London T * 1 (Uautci* Infinitesimal Penmanship.

He told the Times man something about live stock in Japan. Until twenty years ago, he said, no flesh meat was used as tood in the Mikado's domain, but since Euro* peans have taken up their residence in that country and have successfully used cattle both aa beasts of burden and for food, tome of the same have come to the conclusion that there is something good about beef alter all, and also that it's easier to work oxen than to work one's self. But tbeir stock is the scrubbiest ikind, Mr. Child says, and he cannot see any indications for its betterment. In fact he is of the opinion that before many years go by what few , cattle are now in that country will have beeu slaughtered for food. The JaDanese will only eat the heifers, believing that a plague would be the result of eating the beef of a steer, so that their breeding possibilities are obscured by their superstition.?-Kansas City Timet.
