Dogs Kill a Dog. A. C. Heffenger tells in ti e American Field how an old fox hound was done to death by the pack of which lt was a member. The hound was called Clay, and was owned by N. Q. Pope, who kept it in the White Oak Hill Kennel at Po land, Me. The dog wa? a prize taker, and always got a place when lt ran In the annual trials of the Brunswick Fur Club. After the annual hunt at Bruns wick, Me., in which Clay proved better than all the younger hounds, the dog was taken back to Poland and put in the yard, with the rest of the pack. McGregor, keeper of the hounds, heard a row in the yard, and coming down, found that the pack had pitched upon the champion hound and killed lt by chewing its throat and chest Wolves have been known to kill their fellows In a similar manner. A wolf showing signs of pain is set upon and killed by Its comrades. A male fox, when it finds a female fox in a trap, attacks and kills it A cow, bellowing with pain, is set upon by the herd and gored to death. Whether the attacks are to ai.d the one In pain or not is not known by students of natural history. Buoy Suggested by a Boy. It is stated in the Boston Post that the inventor of the whistling buoy, "that godsend to the sailor," got hie first idea of the device from seeing a small boy pushing an ordinary tin horn mouth downward Into a hogshead of water. The air thus compressed was forced rapidly through the small end, with a whistling noise, and that same principle is now embodied in all the ap paratus supplied by the Government, the rising of the tide or action of the waves driving the air into the horn.

"Sometimes," said the old soldier, "we got considerable many potatoes, and then again we wouldn't have any at all for weeks; very likely nothing Lut hard bread and coffee and pork, and maybe corned beef, and perhaps beans; but whether we got them often or seldom, potatoes were always more or less of a luxury. "When potatoes were issued by the commissary, when we came to draw our rations, would of course get a cer tain quantity, proportioned to the num ber of men we had on duty in the com pany. If we had forty men the pota toes we got, when we came to count them out, might number sixty. If there were sixty potatoes for forty men obviously some of them would have to be cut in two, or else they would have to be given out two to some men and one to others, and that is what waa done; a man got two small potatoes or one big one. For myself I preferred two small ones; but of course I took whatever was given to me, and said nothing; but I liked it better to get two potatoes, so as not to risk everything in one package. I have known a big handsome potato that a man had car ried gravely to his tent, filled with de lightful anticipations as he went along, to turn out bad Inside. "There was no greater test of a cook's management than the way he gave out potatoes, and the man who could do this to the satisfaction of everybody waa a good deal ot a man. It is im possible to give everybody exactly the same quantity, but an effort to get as near to this as possible, a spirit of fair ness, was recognized instantly, and no body expected more. The potato he got might not be so big by a quarter as the one he saw put on the plate of the man ahead of him, but he said nothing; somebody had got to have tue other potato, and it might just aa like have come to him. "But something more than fairness was required to give out the potatoes successfully; a man had got to keep the run of what he had given out and the number of men supplied, and have some idea of the number of potatoes left and the number of men to come. He could give himself some margin by Issuing the big potatoes first; on a pinch, along at the end, he could give out to three or four men a single one of the biggest of the smalled potatoes, instead of two. But he must know whether there were any men who had not come yet and whether they were, likely to turn up or not, and he must keep the run of all these things with out stopping to think, aa he forked up the potatoes from the camp kettle and put them on the plates held out to him by the men as they passed. And gen erally he came out just right. More than once I have known him to put the last potato on the last man's plate. "But he did not always bring things out with that nicety. I have known as many as three men on the end of the line to be left without any potatoes. All gone. Well, now, there was a sit uation. No potatoes issued for a month wn-~ ?ri none *.* .

ELWOOD BY JENN' .HEN first Edith Lor ing realized the sad trat h that she was orphaned, that the father who had lavished upon her all that wealth coald yield had died a bankrupt at an unexpected crisis in the finan?ai world, the doable shock seemed more than she could bear. Fer a time it paralyzed ber energies, bat when at last tho dread question, What should she do? was put before her in all its unvarnished plainness, pride and her own strength of will came to her rescue, and sho answered, brushing the tears from her bright eyes and holding erect the regal head : "Anything rather than live depen dent upon others. I will work." Then, when the weary days merged into weeks and months, and she finally sought and obtained a position as governess in Mrs. Elwood's family, and bade farewell to her old home, where she had spent so many happy hours to enter upon the threshold of her new life, it seemed as though a hand of iron had grasped her heart and clutched it in a vise. She lived two lives-an outer life, in whioh her sweet voice never wavered, and where she wore a smile whose hollowness the children, her little charges, oould not fathom ; and au inner life, which sometimes grew to such agony that almost it betrayed ber ; but the tears rarely roso beyond the fountain-head. And though at times the crown of thorns sho daily wore pressed hard upon the tired young brow, she car ried it unllinchingly. At first, as the days brought each their fresh burden and every hour seemed to give birth to some new and harder duty, a hope, unbidden, shone ever through the darkest clouds that Douglas Ballings would release her ere her thralldom became unbearable. In bygone days, though no positive engagement bound them, his words, his every act were unmistakably the words and acts of u lover. At her father's death she had heard nothing from him, but each day some fragrant dowers had been sent her, which she felt assured could come only from him. Then followed the announcement of her loss of fortune, and from that day she had heard nothing of the recreant QQVO fr?o I? rvrrro VT? V? * /?

"Miss Loring," a sweet, childish voice crien, interrupting hei reverie, "momma nays will you not join us in a ride? There is a vacant seat in the sleigh, and sho should be very glad to have you fill it." "Certainly, dear; I will be there in a moment," and, rising to her feet, she donned her outer wraps and hast enod to meet Mrs. Elwood in tho hall below. Before the door stood two sleighs, ene that belonged to her hostess, the other a beautiful little cutter, with a pair of prancing steeds, held by a groom in full livery, while in tho drawing-room tat its owner, waiting for MissElwooJ, the daughter of tho house, who had this winter made her debut ia society. Edith, unconscious of any one's presence, ran hastily into the room to fee if Mrs. Elwood awaited her, and for a moment the blood surged up in a glad tide, for there before the open fireplace 6tood Douglas Ballings, aloue. He had como then at last; but her outstretched hand drops to her side, her look of happy surprise vanishes, ns sho reads in his face only utter amazement at ber sudden appar ition. In a moment she realizes it is not she whom he seeks. "Pardon me, Mr. Railings. I thought tho drawing-room deserted, or expected to find only Mrs. Elwood. I imagined you were abroad." "I returned only last week, and this is a most welcome surprise. May 1 not tell you how very glad I am to find you? Are you visiting Mrs. El wood?" "I am residing here permanently, as Mrs. Elwood's governess. Good morning." "Staj', Edith ; why are you so cold? Let me bs your friend-do something, anything, to lighten your burden." "Thank you. My own shoulders are sufficiently broad to bear any bur den laid upon them. Once more, good morning," and in another mo ment Ed:th stepped into the sleigh beside Mire. Elwood, aud was whirled from his sight. As he turns a moment later to meet Miss Elwood, there is a perplexed look in his face which ha eau scarcely hide in the smile of wel come he so well knows how to assume. But she detects nothing beyond the seeming delight which he can so well express in courteous wordu; and springing lightly into tho sleigh by his side, as tbs groom releases the horses and they speed off as au arrow sent from its bow, she feels only hon ored by his preference and his com panionship. Two days later a little note is placed in Edith Loring's bauds. It is a polite invitation irom M Railings to accom pany him that i ?rnoou to drive, which sho as polit' and formally de clines. Occasion she heard his name mentioned tho household; learns that his aft? >na to Miss El wood are growing irked ; sees the happy fluwh ru ou- j her brow a* mention of his name, .*ad wonders at the icy indifference with which she hears it all. Sometimes for n moment the old pain throbs and surgee, but she bravely tights it book and comes j forth conqueror. In all these months she rarely meets him. Once, as sho is passing through the hall with her little charge-1, she unexpectedly confronts him. In his old, wiaatag way-a manner which TORIES. And let him wign! I'll hold my soul, To-night!

"At least, Edith, let me explain." "Explaio, Mr. Railings? I cannot understand, sir, what explanation is necessary. Allow me to assure you I consider none due me." This is all that passed between them until one morning, when Mrs. Elwood has given her a holiday and she has taken advantage of it for a quiet walk, 6he hears behind ber a quick tread, and io another moment Mr. Railings had accosted her. "This is a most unexpected pleas ure, Miss Edith. Will you allow me to join you?" "I came out, Mr. Rallinga, to be alone, and I should prefer it." "Edith, lieten to me ; I must speak. Why do you avoid me? "When I left this country for Europe I wrote -you a little note, explaining why I was called away, leaving you my address and begging you to write to me. No letter reached me, and ou my return 1 heard of your added misfortunes. I could hear nothing more. When 1 found you at Last, so bravely earning your own support, it gave mo a new respect for you. I know full well how little worthy I am to ask a favor at your hand, but at least let me try to win back some of the friendly feeling I feel assured you once gave me." "That I will not deny, Mr. Railings ; nor will I deny that, for a time, I missed my friend; bnt I have so schooled myself that that feeling has grown into callousness. The rose, once blighted, cannot reblossom ; the heart onoe trampled upon bears the cruel impress forever. I have learned at least contentment, and let me beg that this shall be our last interview." "Have you indeed grown so hard, Edith? When I knew that you had lost everything, and was dependent solely upon the labor of your own brain and hands, I longed, darling, oh, so earnestly, to say to you : 'Ooma to me. Let me share your bnrden, or lighten it all I can.' You have judged me cruelly, Edith. I am not so base as you imagine. I have enough for both. Let me try to win back at least a little of tho old feeling, with the hopo that at a later day I may plead with you to be my wife." For a moment Edith wavered. There was a ring of truth in his words sha _?u\, un tue wuria was true. Can you think thut I, living in the house with Miss Elwood, can be ignor ant of tho attentions you have paid her? Nay, do not attribute this to personal feeling, for, believe mo, it is a matter of indifference, save that your conduct ia unworthy a gentleman." "In visiting Miss Elwood, if I have erred, it has been through my love for you. I have gone there hoping to see you, yearning for the knowledge that you were well at least, and longing to break through the crust of ice in which you infolded yourself. I admire Miss Elwood only as a friend, and do not for one moment flatter myself she entertained a different feeling toward me. This is folly, dear. Look at me once, Edith, with your old, frank gaze, and if my eyes speak falsehood, banish me forever." "It is hopeless, Mr. Rallingp. I have ceased to care for you. If I did not know how small a matter it was to you I should say, 'I am sorry,' but in the long month? when a friendly word would have been, oh ? so welcome, only eilence met me; and if, as you say, a mantle of ice infolds me, it is beoause I have so long lived banished from the bun that ita rays can no longer pene trate tho frozen interior. It is best __ ?? so. "You call it best, then-best that tho heart, ouce 6o warm and true, should become an iceberg ; beet that your faith shonld be converted into skepticism, your belief into unbelief. Rest happy in your creed, then, Miss Lori og, but take care lest you do not wreck yourself against the sharp rocks of suspicion." Six months later. Edith Loring, sitting in her school room,'ia inter rupted by Miss Elwood. "Oh, Miss Loring," she says, "Mr. Railings has been thrown from, his horse and badly injured. They fear he will not live. Is it not ead?" "Very sad," was the quiet reply, but as she spoke the words the ice seemed breaking from her heart, and she foll fainting to the floor. During all the3e months she had scarcely heard Douglas Raliings'a name, and; to her surprise, his absence from the household had been but casually mentioned ; and Miss El wood, in her daily round of pleasure, seemed to have no time to note that such was the case. His words were tjue, then, when he told her he had been to her only as a friend. Could it be that it was she who had honored him, and not ho her ! When consciousness returned, and with it the memory of their last meet ing, her coldness and indifference, his earnest, loving words, she knew she had deceived herself, and tho love she supposed buried beyond resurrection was deeper, truer, more iutense than before it had been tried by tire. Por>r childi Sho was weary of the fight, and now she could never tell him that she owned herself worsted in the battle. But ono evening a few weeks later his onrd is put into her band. She has learned ero this of his re covery, but she is amazed when she goes forward to welcome him to see what an impress his illness has left upon him. Pale and worn, he stands before her with outstretched hands, but it is with the old tone be speaks. "Little one, I came to Hod my wife, Is she here?" . Her answer was nit word-3poken, but with her fair head pillowed ou hi? breast, he needed noue; and when, two months later, he claimed bis wife, Mia* Elwood stood wi.h her afc the altar as'her chosen friend.-New York Ledger, WOMAN'S WORLD. PLEASANT LITERATURE VOR FEMININE READERS. DRESSMAKING AN ART. Writing on the subject of practical dressmaking .'in the Woman'u Home Companion, Mary Katharina Howard says: "The day has come when dress makers can and do look upon their calling as a profession that commands respeot. They are now, rightfully termed artists, and are just as much entitled to the name of artist as the men and women who create life-like statues from marble, or who with pen cil and colors reproduce nature with master strokes, providing she does the work conscientiously, with careful thought and study, with always a re gard for the eternal fitness of things. No class of women anywhere has ac complished as much and made as mnch progress with so little help as have the dressmakers. Artists, doctors, law yers and people in all professions have recourse to libraries whose shelves aro filled with books containing valuable information and assistance in their lino, but there is a curions dearth of literature on subjects useful to either the professional or amateur dress maker. While wo have raauy Ameri can and foreign fashion jouruals suf ficiently versatile-and fetching in thcr styles of fabric and details of cut in dress, there is nothing to tell how to out, fit, baste and sew, or the whys and wherefores of doing certain things in certain ways to obtain the best re sults. Dressmakers are prono to sel fishness, and keep good points they may discover in their line to them selves, while in of.her professions more liberality is shown in this particular, and new ideas aro published and spread broadcast for tho good of all inteiested in the same lino of thought and study. "Until this narrow-mindedness is over come, and dressmakers become more altruistic, they will labor to a disad vantage. Many women who have talent for creating handsome, stylish and well fitting gowns are denied the opportunity of showing their ability in thie line, ali for the want of oppor tunity to educate thoir propensities, and a friendly, sympathetic baud of encouragement from those whose knowledge is sufficient to lead the less fortunate. Dressmaking, when not properly understood,means the hardest and most wearing drudgery in which a woman can engage. But properly Btudied, and practiced accordingly, is made comparatively easy and very re munerative." HOUSEWORK FOB GIRL GRADUATES. In these days when so many young women look lorward to a career, the nnobtrusive sphere of the home is of ten overlooked. Passing by all that might, from the standpoint of sentiment and filial piety, be said in favor of the old-fasn ioned, and at present, much despised occupation of housework, let us look at it from a purely business point of view. Here is a family in moderate cir cumstances, livinsr in a New England eldest daughter, school, has a io leading dry , at a salary of sr duties oc t*yn in . .e week, from antil six in the 'venings until nino nndajs and four c are available for ork, family inter- * .ee, :-.oxWuonges of social life, and for self-culture. As she has no board to pay, her inoome of-five huu dred dollars enables her to dress well, and though she spends money freely, ?he has already a nice little sum laid by in the savings bank. Meantime her mother with the aid of an indifferent girl, to whom she pays three dollars and half a week, and whoso board and waste amount to as much more, cares for the household, sending out the washing and ironing. Suppose the daughter should give up ker position in the store in order to help at home, having persuaded her mother to dismiss the maid of all work, and to pay her what would thus be saved, namely, seven dollars a week. Her duties in this capacity, shared by her mother as in the past-for in a family of seven one pair of hunds can not well do everything-would leave her free for at least three hours every afternoon; sho would also havo all her evenings, and, as a rule, ono or two mornings in each week, she would find un hour or more at her own disposal. In these leisure hours sho would find time for her own sewing, including 'dressmaking, and thus would be able to save the amount of her dressmaker's bills-probably fifty dollars in tho course of the year. There would still be ample time for study and for social duties as well as for benevolent and charitable work. AU told, her income above her expenses would be less than at present by about one hundred dol lars; and, if she were earning money in order to aid in the support of the family, this sum would be worth con sidering. But, under the circum stances, she might well regard her loss in dollars and cents as more than over balanced by the gain iu freedom from confining hours, and in leisure for the cultivation of her mind and for efforts in behalf of others. Nor would the advantage b? all on one side. The mother, relieved of the worry of inefficient time-serving "help" by tho intelligent, interested service of her daughter, would grow young again in the delightful com panionship and sympathy of the lively, loving girl. It is net claimed that housework is as remunegative as some other employ ments, ror that the position of a "do mestic" is suited to the taste or to the social standing of tho average Ameri can girl; but where remunerative em ployment is sought, as it so often is, not from necessity but in accordance with the enterprising fashion of tho day, some such business arrangemeut as has been outlined, which has its parallel in at least a few homes, grati fies tho spirit of independence while it fosters the domestic tasto and knits together tho members of the family iu the bonds of mutud helpfulness.

They were formerly the grounds surround ing the old Jumel mansion, which is now known as Earle Cliff. They are Egyptian cypress, and have a history, like everything pertaining to this re markable mansion and its grounds. They were sent as a present to Napo leon Bonaparte from the Sultan of Egypt as a gift of honor, but arrived in Havre, France, after the battle of Waterloo. Stephen Jumel, who was in France at the time, and a personal friend of Napoleon, succeeded in gain ing an audience with the Emperor the night before ho was banished to the Island of St. Helena. Napoleon pre sented these trees to Jamel, who brought them to America on the dipper ship Eliza, which he had chartered with the hope of aiding Napoleon to escape to this country. These trees, when brought here, had their native earth still clinging to their roots. They were planted as described above, where they flourished and grew to a largo size,spreading out their peculiar branches wide over their adopted soil -a mute reminder of the decay of empires as well as people. I would recommend that the park Commis siouers remove them to Central Park, as they are probably tho only ones in country, and oertainly none other with such a unique history.-New York Times. (hicerest Town in England. The most curious town in England is Northwich. There is not a straight street, nor, in fact, a straight house m the place; every part of it has the appearauoe of having recently suffered from the visitation of an earthquake. Northwich, as everyone knows, is the centre of tho salt industry. On nearly all sides of the town aro big salt works, with their engines pump ing hundreds of thousands of gallons of brine every week. Ata depth of 6ome 203 or 300 feet are immense subterranean lakes of brine, and as the contents of these are pumped and pumped away the upper crust of earth is correspondingly weakened, and the result is an occa sional subsidence. Theso subsidences have a "pulling" effect on the nearest buildings, which are drawn "all way?,"giving the town an upside down appearance. - Answers. A Shrewd Rat. A rat was recently caught aliva on boord a British n ival vessel in a trap, and tho beast was thrown from the trap into the water without being killed. A largo gull that was follow ing in the wake of the ship to pick up scraps of food thrown overboard by the steward stopped several times, en deavoring to pick the rat up. Once the bird got too close to the rat's jaws and tbe beast grabbed it by tho neck. After a abort tight, tho rat succeeded in killing the bird. When the gnll was dead the rat scrambled upon the bird's body, and, hoisting one wing as a sail, and using the other as a rudder succeeded in steering for the shore. Whether the rat reached shore or not is a question, since the ship poon got out of right of ihe skipper and its craft. -Weekly Telegraph. Born Willi Hide Reversed* Thomas McKinney, a farmer living in the town of Union, N. Y., has ti curiosity that would provo attractive for any mu-eum. Last Wednesday his cow gave birth to a calf which had three legs behind uni one in front, the single limb being of unusual size, and tapering down from the breast. The skin of the animal was smooth, without a Bigu of bair. It lived only a short time, and ou being dissected it was found that the uudcr hide ol the skin was covered with a tino downy fur, tho hide having the appearance of be ing wrong side out. Mr. Mckinney will have tho animal stuffed.-New York Press. Tiniest Shears Ever Made. A clever workman in a cutlery fac> tory iu Sheffield, Englaud, has recent ly made a dozen pairs of shears each so minute that they all together weigh less than half u grui:). That is about the weight of a postage stamp. Each pair was perfect, aud would cut if sufficiently delicate material co nhl bo found.

Wo had gone up in the groat bay near the head of the lake, when the boys and dogs, rummaging around the woods and along the shore, started a deer and chased it onto the ice, and we had the most exciting chase Im mediately after I ever took part In. We did not harm the animal, and bad wo wished to do so we couldn't, for there wasn't a gun in the crowd; but we made him "make the effort of his life'' before ho broke the trocha we built around him and got away. When we sighted him he was making straight across the bay, which is five miles wide, end tie Ice was so slippery that he could not make anything like the usual time of his when they throw their souls into their heels, and scatter miles behind them with an easy indif ference most beautiful to witness. We played wolf on him. "Doc." Spalding, who was riding the ice bi cycle, shot straight ahead, and very soon passed him, and forced him to turn, and when he did turn there was a ring of skaters all around him, and for an hour he .played with us very much as a four-legged animal might. We got him running in a circle, but we were unable to catch him, for every time any ono tried it, that venture some individual either failed to get a hold on him, or, succeeding, was hurled as from a catapult along the ice, to tho great delight of all the rest. It waa the merriest skating party I ever witnessed, although the deer might not have seen much matter for merriment in it. But he was perfectly safe, unless hla wind played out before ours did, of which the event proved there was small danger. One wing of the circular trocha we had formed In the line got out of breath and slowed up, a gap was formed in the line, and the deer went through it like a Sash, and the last we saw of him was "hull down," and 20 ing as merrily as If freshly started.

When a nerve or a set of nerves supplying any organ in the body with Its due nutri ment grows weak, that organ languishes. When the nerves become exhausted and die? so to speak, the organ falls into de cay; What is to be done? The answer is, do not allow the weakness to progress; stop the deteriorating process at once ! Do you experience fits of depression, alter nating with restlessness? Are your spirits easily affected, so that one moment you laugh and the next fall into convulsive weeping? Again, do you feel something like a ball rising in your throat and threatening to choke you, all tho senses perverted, morbidly sensitive to light and sound, pain in ovary, and pain es pecially between tho shoulders, sometimes loss of voice and nervous dj-spepsia ? If so, you are hysterical, j*our uterine nerves are at fault. You must do something to restore their tone. Nothing is better for thc purpose than Lydia E. Pinkham'a Vegetable Com pound; it will work a cure. If you do not understand your sy mptoms, writo to Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass., and she will give you honest, expert advice, freo of charge. MRS.
