The weather has been damp, with but
little rain in the ' interior, and with 1 the
warm atmosphere, the grass is growing
and the Stock is in fine condition, and
as a result the meat markets are abund
antly supplied with the best at former
quotations.
In the matter of finances, the string
ency spoken of before, has not let up in
the eastern states. Banks and larger
industrial institutions are forced to suc
cumb to the outside pressure, and a
closing down of all kinds of projected
enterprises throughout the country has
been the result. The throwing out of
employment of about 2000 men on rail
road constuction in Washington is the
reBult of too much reaching out on a
pinching season, which has partially
ended in setting men adrift on worth
less paper, so to speak.

Women and Their Doss In Faria. -
Women here, as in London, have an
insatiable mania for carrying or leading
by chain pug dogs of all degrees of uli-
easv One -afternoon -during a showef
of ram, one was seen walking along the1
Qua! Jemmapes, . where a number of
workmen had just finished discharging
cargo ot coal from a banre. The lady
held in one hand an umbrella, with
which she carefully protected from the
least drop of wet an ugly little dog with
gorgeous blue nbbon round its neck.
By her side trotted her daughter, a little
girl about 8 years old, her shoes not so
waterproof as . they might have been,
who, deprived of the protection of the
umbrella monopolized by the dog, was
rapidly getting drenched.
As she was about to cross the bridge
which spans the canal ; one of the coal
heavers went up to her and said, "Allow
me, madam, to relieve you of your dog,
so that you may carry your girl to the
other side. The woman accepted the
offer, but when the party arrived at the
other end of the bridge the coal heaver
threw the pug into the canal, telling its
mistress at the same time, "That's a les
son to you not to shelter a dog while
your child is getting wet."
The woman screamed and soon a crowd
collected, to whom she pathetically nar
rated the assassination of her pet. Two
policemen at her instigation took the"
coal heaver to the station, but the super
intendent declined to formulate any
charge against him. All she could do.
he told her, was to bring a civil action
for the value of her dog. She left the
station "apparently much dissatisfied
with the decision." Paris Cor. London

( All Watches Compasses.
A few days ago I was standing by an
American gentleman when I expressed
a wish to know which point was the
north. He at once pulled out his watch,
looked at it, and pointed to the north. I
asked him whether he had a compass
attached to his watch. "All watches,"
he replied, "are . compasses." Then he
explained to me how this was. Point
the hour hand to the sun, and the south
is exactly half way between the hour
and the figure 12 on the watch. For in
stance, suppose that it is 4 o'clock.
Point the hand indicating 4 to the sun
and 2 on the watch is exactly south.
Suppose that it is 8 o clock. Point the
hand indicating 8 to the sun and the
figure 10 on the watch is due south. My
American friend was quite surprised
that I did not know this. Thinking that
very possibly I was ignorant of a thing
that every one else knew, and happening
to meet Mr. Stanley, I asked that emi
nent traveler whether he was aware of
this simple mode of discovering the
points of the compass. He said that he
had never heard of it. I presume, there
fore, that the world is in the same state
of ignorance. Amain is proud of hav
ing been the home of the inventor of the
compass. I do not know what town
boasts of my American friend as a citi
zen. London Truth.

A Farmer on s Bicycle.
The New England farmer of today Is
much given to the covered carriage and
horse that holds his head high. I sus
pect that the reliable bat somewhat de
liberate ox satisfied his ancestors. I met
one farmer near Holyoke driving his
cow home from the pasture on a bicycle
thai is, the man was on a bicycle and
the cow was ahead of him on foot.
though she looked as if she would appre
ciate a bicycle, too, as he was speeding
her along on a rather lively trot. I stop
ped him and askedtiim if there was any
show for a farmer to make money in
that section, and while the patient cow
leaned against a tree and caught her
breath he replied that there was none
whatever.
His grandfather had made money on
the farm, he said, but he could not.
Then be called to the cow to "hump her
self,'' and went spinning down the road
with the long suffering beast making
desperate efforts to keep from being run
over, it occurred to me tnaspernaps
his grandfather did not pick the stones
off the farm with a bicycle and a pair of
tongs. Cor. New .York Tribune.

The Massachusetts board of health has
examined 76 samples of water and 836
samples of ice from . 53 localities, with
the result of showing that, contrary to
general benef, ice may be nearly as im
pure as the water from which it forms.
The crystallization of the water forces
out the color, salt, and most of the mat
ter in solution, and clear ice from pol
luted sources may be comparatively free
from impurities and the probability of
hiding disease germs.
But in snow ice and. ice formed by
flooding the impurities become entan
gled, so that freezing gives no purifica
tion. The public is warned by the board,
therefore, that ice is unsafe for domestic
purposes when obtained from a source
polluted by sewage beyond that which
would be allowable in drinking water.
and that in general it is much safer to
use for drinking, water and for placing
in contact with food that portion of the
ice that is clear, Arkansaw Traveler.
