A Bright Little Canine IV a Befriended by an .athletic Toaag Woman. The other day a well dressed man and woman were walking in one of the up town streets. Attention was attracted to them by the anucs of a blue Skye which capered from one side to the other, leanmsr at their heels in the mot-t extravagant spirit Sat long after some boys were teas ing a aog in an area. A young wo man, whose heart goes out to all the things that have four legs and cannot talk, put on her hat and jacket and went to the rescue. It was the same dog, now lying in an evident stupor. The young woman picked up tbe dog and carried it to the apple woman at the corner, whom she bribed to take care of it. The dog revived and won the apple woman s heart. She took him to the stand every day, where he kept sen try and warned off the boys. His funny capers and cheerful spirits made him known to everybody in the neighborhood. He became, the espe cial friend of the athletic young men wnoee training ground is back of the old woman's apple stand, where they let him in for a fine run. On Sunday evening he darted across the street with a bark of joy to an approaching couple. He leaped at their sides, he tugged at their clothes with every expression of a dog's de light. -Why. it's Bruno I" they ex claimed, and at the sound of bis name the dog leaped higher than before. You see, said the woman, "he was our dog. .We were fond of him, but he would chew up things." "When he chewed op a young lady's $7 bon net ana we bad to pay for it," added the ma a, "we felt we must get rid of him," resumed the woman, "so we fed him on biscuit soaked in whisky until he was drunk; then we took him out to walk so we could lose him." "No. wedon't want him any more," said the man. "Yes, he is very fond of us; goodby, Bruno," and this couple of amiable heathens passed on. bruuo has been 6tolen now. and the apple woman, the athletes and the neighborhood mourn.

The coal mines at Wang-ean-sblh are very; interesting. There are here three seams of 24 feet, 3 feet and 14 feet, which are at an angle of 50 de grees, nearly due south. A perpen dicular shaft has been sunk 106 feet with no fault. The first 25 feet were through alluvium, thence through quartzite and a few bands of shale in quartzita The shaft is being deep ened at the rate of four inches per bouv. Yr sng nnhih ia 0017 vm miles from the line of railway and sue miles from the iron mines. In summer a creek comes within half a mile of the works, and it was up this that the heavy .machinery was brought to the mines by the follow ing ingenious process: A raft drawing only an inch to the ton was constructed, and, the ma chinery being shipped, was dragged up the creek till it grounded. Then a dam was built behind which caused it to float, and this was successively and successfully done until the ma chinery was got to within a half a mile of the mines. Hand porterage took it the rest of the way. -Invention. A Kamw Escape For Batters It is not generally known that Oli ver Stevens, the present district at torney, once saved General Butler's life. It was at the Charleston con vention, more than 30 years ago. General Butler's course in the con vention bad been conspicuously bold and courageous, and bis antagonism to certain elements had been notice ably unrelenting. Jack Cavanagh, a well known figure at conventions and caucuses in those days, after many bloody threats, finally one evening loaded up his revolver and himself and made .for General Butler's quar ters. He would have found the gen eral unprepared and unable to defend himself , and he undoubtedly would have shot him, but Oliver Stevens intercepted Jack and spirited him away and t the same time sent word to General Butler.
