3i 1 " " " A BAY KNIGHT T'N ROTFS. " tie Saved His Blaster's Little Daughter From the Attack of a Savaco Cur. The bay Jack is one- of a dozen hunters Which Mr. James B. Dill keeps in his j Stable at his home on Harrison . street, j Orange. His fad is breeding hunters, j The other morning Mr. Dill was stand ing just inside the stable door talking to bis groom and had Jack's bridle in bis hand. Suddenly he heard a scream and rec ognized the voice as that of his little daughter. Jack, the bay hunter, heard It, too, and he must have recognized it, for quicker than it takes to tell and be fore Mr. Dill realized what had happen ed, Juck had jerked the bridle from Mr. Dill's hand, backed out of tha stable and was running across the stable yard. Mr. Dill followed, and what he saw was cal culated to make him follow pretty rap Idly. His little daughter was being at tacked by a dog a big, ugly, yellow cur that did not belong around the place. 8he had seen her father return from his ride and had started from the house to the stable to meet him, as was her cus tom. The strange dog had sprung at her. Its teeth were tearing her dress, and she was vainly struggling to release herself. What Mr. Dill saw Jack, the bay hunter, saw, too, and he must have had the same appreciation of the little girl's danger that the father had. Running until he reached the little girl and the dog, he reared up on his hind legs and then brought his fore feet down with crushing force on the vicious cur. The dog released ita hold on the girl's cloth ing and fell, but Jack had not finished his work. Turning just as the dog was about to rise again, be let fly his hind legs and gave the cur a kick that landed it in a heap against a stone fence full 10 feet away. Then Jack's work was done, and he waited for Mr. Dill to come tip. Mr. Dill found that his little daughter was not injured, though badly frighten ed. Then he went over and took a look it the dog. It was dead. Then he went orer to his bay hunter, Jack, gave him an affectionate slap or two and placed his little daughter on Jack's back. The i banter eeemed to appreciate the conipli- j taeat and neighed with delight as he etarted for the stable, where Mr. Dill told the groom to give him "the best in the boose and plenty of it."

Some of them may beooroe plain, ordi nary; everyday doorkeepers of the house or senate. There is one man watching a senate door these days who has occupied that one' position for 14 years. For years be fore be began this work he was similar ly employed in the house of representa tives. The pay of a doorkeeper ia not very large, and the distinction which at taches to the place is absolutely nil. Tho work is not arduous, however, and the nun who fulfills it does not' have to use either his hands or his brains to any ex tent a fact which Eeeiua to have had weight with some of tho doorkeepers. If the parents of the lads who are now running about tho capitol at the beck and nod of senators and representatives were to be glided by the experience of persons who have' held these positions, they might display less anxiety to con demn their offspring to an undesirable future. Cor. New York Times. Setting; Type by Wire. Donald Mnrry, a newspaper' man of Sydney, has invented and patented a de vice by means of which an operator in New York, with a keyboard before him like that of an ordinary typewriter, can not only produce typewritten copy in New Orleans, but, it 3 claimed, can op erate a typesetting machine here and deliver his matter thus in lead ready for the forms. Not only that, but the samo operator, by using a number of telegraph lines, can Bet up the same copy simulta neously in a dozen different places. In this operation any ordinary currents are need, such as are capable of being relay ed and are subject to all conditions of ordinary telegraphy. The work can bo done with the same speed as an ordinary typewriter is operated and dispenses with all clockwork mechanism, synchronous ly moving type wheels and other cum brous devices. It is said to be capable of manipulating some SO different char acters. Press and Printer. Cordite Versos Gunpowder. The days of gunpowder as a charge Cor naval guns are numbered, as some experiments just concluded at the gov ernment proof butts, Woolwich, appear to prove a decided superiority for cord fte. k. 6 inch quick firing gun was loaded with 29 pounds 12 ounces of the ordinary black gunpowder and yielded a velocity of 1,890 feet per second, with pressure strain on the gun of 15 tons per square inch. The same gun was Charged with 14 pounds 8 ounces of cord ite and gave a velocity of 2,274 feet per - second and a pressure of 15.2 tons. -More .. important still, after 250 rounds had been fired, there were no signs of cro- . aton, London Telegraph. .

The f rugjj Servians just now aro torn by conflicting emotions. King Alexander and his erratic, disreputable father have managed between them to alienate what littlo love had been left ia Servia for the Obrenovitsch dynasty, and if the Kara georgevitch pretenders were reasonably respectable and fairly disinterested they could obtain the throne without much difficulty. But Prince Arseneand Princo Peter are, in their way, not much to bo preferred to e.sKing Milan and his son. They are ambitious, autocratic, extrava gant and heavily in debt, and their morals will not bear severe scrutiny. They are surrounded by impecunious Russian nobles niid loose people of both sexes, ail of whom will have to be lib erally provided for iu the event of the Karageorgevitch restoration out of the national treasury, and, to crown their disadvantages ia the eyes of the Servian farmers, they claim tho retrocession to them of the enormous estates which were formerly the private property of their house, and which were Confiscated to tha stte when the head of the Kara georgevitch family was assassinated and all his relatives were kicked out of the country. On tho whole, therefore, Arseno and Peter would be more expensive than Mi lan and Alt-zander. As the question is mainly one of money, tho latter will in all probability remain in Belgrade, the establishment of a republic being entire ly out of the question. Meanwhile Mi lan poses as a patriot. lie pines for Paris and its supreme delights, which it is im possible to enjoy in semibarbarous Bel grade, but a stern sense of duty keeps him at hia son's side. Privately he is haggling with the ministers as to the sum which shall be paid him to clear oat. He has hinted tlir.t if his price be not paid he will liavo himself appointed general issimo and inspector of the army and set tle permanently hi the country. The ap palling prospect thus opened is likely materially to hasten a settlement. Bel grade Letter, LOST IN ALASKAN WILDS. An Explorer's 23tT-cgKrl of Ills Compan ies' Atvlco Cofcts Him Ills 1.1 jo.

The Snail Dos Tlilrty Thousand Teetn. Don't believe a word of it, do you? Well, that makes but little difference it is on the authority of one of tho most noted of the modern school of natural ists, and that is snflicient. In tho pe culiarity of teeth and month tho snail is the most wonderful of all the created creatures, and it has been truly said that it is fortunate for mankind that Eomo of the larger of the wild animals ere not similarly constructed. The mouth of the snail is armed with a won derful organ in the shape of a rasplike tongue. This tongue resembles a long, narrow ribbon, coiled in such a manner that only a small poition of it is in use at any one time. Thickly distributed over tho entire surface of thisribboniike organ are an immense number of very minute but strong and sharp teeth, de signed in a manner which admirably adapts them to the purpose for which they are intended viz, that of rasping off the edible portions of the vegetation upon which the owner of the rasp feeds. The number of these teeth, as tinted in the opening and also in the heading, is perfectly incredible, one species hav ing been Bbown by actual count under the microscope to possess not less than 30,000. St. Louis Republic. Historic Brass Knocker. Trie3 light as air have interest some times, and apparently nothing is too trifling to feed American curiosity. A new brass knob has just been placed up on Mr. Gladstone's front door in Down ing street. It replaced one which had done the state , much service and had been grasped by tho bands of a century of prime ministers, from Pitt upward. Hearing of this treasure trove, an en terprising and sympathetic antiquary purchased the discarded knocker- for 5 shillings, and it is now upon its way to New York, accompanied by half a mile of attractive personal legend, for exhibit tion in the United States. Huntly (Eng land) Express. Illuminated Lifebuoy. Some trials have just been made art Kiel on board of the German war vessel Wortil with an electrically lighted life bnoy, the invention of Captain Melter. The bnoy was . thrown overboard when the vessel was proceeding at a speed of abont 16 knots. For a space of about 13 seconds it was lost in the eddy currents caused by the twin screws of the vessel, but then reappeared. The new lifebnoy will be found nsef ul at night, and tho experiments resulted so successfully that it is probable that it will be adopted gen erally in the German navy.
