It Is a miracle nobody was killed out

shot at. Forty strikers were aroused
and both sides commenced to fire. It is
thoughVrioting has ceased, but the wild
est confusion reigns in Duryea.

He has earned a reputation a.A a valiant
man who Is cnlther afraid of birds nor

Last Sunday morning while Professor
Barnes was meandering alonj? the beau
tifully paved streets of Portland he was
startled by a vision of green. He looked
up and caught a glympse of an astonish-ly-pretty
young parrot flying from
branch to branch of a nearby tree. When
the professor saw this he made a silent
but powerful Vow, which concluded, with
the emphuttc statement that "Yon beau
tiful bird shall not escape me." But
there was another point to be consid
ered a dog who was after ' the same
object. The professor then addressed the
dog with, "Hie thee hence, thou wicked
animal," at th same time aiming a blow
at the dog which fell 10 feet short of
him!
.The dog became scared at the treat
ment he received at the hands of the
erstwhile gentle professor and ran yelp
ing away. Just then the parrot, who was
curious as to what was happening below
him, swooped down, but woe for him
and his curiosity The professor' threw
his hat over the bird with the eipert-
ness of a Buffalo Bill ahd made thM
curious bird a captive. He brought his
prize horn with ' him and it IS now

all that sort of thing. In this connection
I have been impressed by the remark
which we often hear about certain brands
of cigar for two years' or longer, : but
that the cigar was getting so bad that
he had concluded to quit buying it at all.
"It is nothing like the same cigar,1 he
said; "the taste has changed,-' and it
tastes like a mixture of cabbage leaves."
Now, he was altogether wrong about that.

good and the bad 8-cent cigar, and figur

close with the first lot made! They are
failures, having nothlnar In them to rec

out of which theyssre made would not
make decent "three-for." The higher
grades .of 6-cent cigars are mad as care
fully and with as much 'skill as th cigar
that are sold at a higher price, and I do
not mind saying that many of them are
really far superior in material, flavor and
method of manufacture. So many of
them, however, are, of the cheap kind
that the average is lowered to five years,
while the average life of the higher priced
cigars will run to a much higher figure."

Fket-Footcd Dogs.
Comparatively few people realise ot
what remarkable speed dogs are capa
ble, gome remarkable statistic In re
gard to this have been gathered by M.
Dusoller, a French scientist After
Pointing out th? marvelous endurance
shown by little fbxterrlers, who fol
low their masters patiently for hour
while the latter are riding on bicycles
or in carriages, he says that even
greater endurance Is shown by certain
wild animals that are akin to dogs.
Thus the wolf can rua between 60 ahd
60 mile In one night, and an arctic fox
can d quite aa well. If not better. Nan
sen met one "of these foxes on ths ice
at a point more than 70 miles northwest
of the Ssnlkow Territory, which Is feQ
miles from the Asiatic ' Coast
Estflmo and Sibeerian dogs can travel
45 mile on the Ice In five hours, and
there Is one case on record In Which a
team of Eskimo dogs traveled six and
one-half mile In 28 minutes. Accord
ing ia M. Rusolier the speed of th shep
herd dogs and those used in hunting
ranges from 10 to 15 yards a second.
English setters .and pointers bunt at th
rate of 18 to 19 miles an hour, and they
can maintain this speed for at least twe
hours.
Fox hound are extraordinarily swift,
it is proved by the fact that a dog of
this breed once heat a thoroughbred
horse, covering four miles In six and
one-halt minut'ea, which was at th rat
of nearly 18 yards a second. Greyhounds
are th swiftest of all four-legged crea
tures, and -their speed may be regarded
a equal to that 0' carrier pigeons. Eng
lish greyhounds, which are carefully se
lected, and which aro used for coursing,
are able to cover at full gallop a specs .
between 18 and 29 yards every second. ;
