Uo Sang In Court to Convince the Judge or Ills Ownership. A very unique and amusing trial de veloped out of a suit of replevin for a dog, brought by 1. E. T. Brady against John A. Levi, ia Justice, Shan non's court the other morning, says tho Kansas City Journal. Both parties claimed the ownership of the dog, and uftor several witnesses had been examined on either side the judge was tit as great a loss to decide the question of ownership as at first. Mr. Brady's attorney, however, stated that they could prove the elaimantship beyond doubt by the recognition of tho the dog for Mrs. Dr. Brady, and she was accordingly summoned. The dog Im mediately jumped from his place in the prisoner's dock and showed with every demonstration of ratline joy his recog nition of his mistress. In consideration of the adverse testimony this was still not convincing u tho 'judge, so Mrs. Brady agreed to give a last indisputable proof of the dog's ownership. She suited that if she would sing a certain son;; the dug, in response to his training, would join in with her in his dog fashion nnd voice and sing the song through. This she did and at the first words of the song the dog leaped for joy ami fulfilled his part of the duet to the astonishment of the spectators and the court. No further evidence wns taken and the dog returned homo with Mrs. Brady bv ortlcr of the pniirt' FLOCKING TO NEW ENGLAND. French ruiiinliuiia to I be Number of Half a Million Now Over the Herder.

An exploring party is about to under take a very interesting mission in Cen tral Africa. The Due d'Uzes will lead the party, and will be accompanied by lour white comrades and fifty Sengalcse soldiers. They are to be taken up the Congo river as far as Stanley Falls on one of the steamers of the free state. At Stanley Falls they expect to hire fromTippu Tib and his nephew, Uochid, two hundred and fifty porters, and then they will plunge into the great forest east of Stanley Falls, with the inten tion of muking their way to Lake Al bert Edward. Their route will lie a good way south of Stanley's route when he suffered so many hardships in the same great for est, on his way to A llicrt Nyanza. Un doubtedly the party will find tribes of natives t hat have never been heard of be fore. Tin' most interesting part of their work, however, will Vie in the basin where Lake Albert Edward gathers the streams that are among the headwaters of the Nile. This lake is as yet known only ou its north and east sides. Stam ley solved the question which so long puzzled geographers, as to whether the lake flowed into Albert Nyanza and was therefore a Nile tributary, or whether its waters fed the Congo. lie found that the Semliki river curries the waters of the lake into Albert Nyanza and the Nile, and along the east bank of this little river he discovered the wonderful snow-clad mountain range of which the now famous Hnwenzori Is the crowning feature. It is not known as yet, however, how large Lake Albert Edward really is. and this will be one of the questions for the present exploring party to settle. They also expert to make a thorough study of the hydrography of this region, so it may be known how far south anil west the basin of the Nile extends. It is probable that the great forest hides in its gloomy depths more than one of the sources of the Nile. In a geographical sense the work which this expedition it to undertake is one of the most interest ing enterprises which yet await tho e plorers of A friea. HlHsillifli fuses. II.

Chinese from Their Infancy Learn to Is- nora Any Hurh Tiling as Monotony. It seems to muke no particular diffcr ! ence to a Chinese how long he remains ! In one position. He will write all day ' like an automaton. If he is a handi craftsman he trill stand In one place from dewy morn till dusky ere, work ing away at his weaving, his gold beat- lna- or whatever it mav be. and do it wen- i1.iv. without nv variation in the monotony and apparently no special consciousness that there is any monotony to be varied. In the same way, says a writer in the Melbourne Leader, Chinese school children are subjected to an amount of confinement, unrelieved by any recesses or change of work, which would soon drive western pupils to the verge of insanity. The very infants in arms, instead of squirm ing and wriggling as our children be gin to do as soon as they are born, lie as impassive as so many mud gods. And at a more advanced ago, when western children would vie with the monkey In its wildest antics, Chinese ! children will often stand, sit or squat l in the same position for a great length of time. I In the item of sleep the Chinese establishes the same differences be tween himself and the Occidental as iu the directions already specified. Gen erally speaking, he is able to sleep anywhere. None of the trifling dis- ! turbances which drive us to despair annoy him. With a brick for a pillow he can lie down on his bed of stalks, of mud bricks or rattan, and sleep the sleep of the just, with no reference to : the rest of creation. He does not want his room darkened nor does he require others to be still. The "infant crying In the night" may continue to cry for all he cares, for it does not disturb him. In some regions the entire popula tion seem to fall asleep, as by a com mon instinct (like that of the hiber nating bear) during the first two hours of summer afternoons, and they do this with regularity, no matter where they may be. At two hours after noon the universe at such seasons is as still as at two hours after midnight. In the case of most working people at least and also in that of many others position in sleep is of no sort of conse quence. It would be easy to raise in China an army of one million nay, of ten million tested by competitive ex amination as to their capacity to go tc sleep across three wheelbarrows with head downward like a spider, their mouths wide open and a fly inside. The same freedom from tyranny of nerves is exhibited in the Chinese en durance of physical pain. Those who have any acquaintance with the oper- j ations in hospitals in China know how ' common or rather universal it is for the patients to bear without flinching a degree of pain from which the , stoutest of us would shrink in terror. IN THE HAYFIELDS. There the Artist Finds Sketches Detlf ued by Mistress Nature. I "St. Barnabas, mow the grass," is art old country saying; but, although St. Barnabas' day falls when the meadow are generally ripe for mowing, there is no crop so "tickle," as the Yorkshire farmers say, as the time at which it must be cut Itay must fall when the grasses are in flower. Walk into a hay field In the second week in June, says an English review, and you will see the pollen dropping from tho fescue and timothy, and the yellow from the but tercups lodges on your boots. Then tha beauty of a good meadow can be seen and understood. The trefoil and yel low suckling are ankle deep, and a little above rises the perennial red clover the white being not yet in full blossom. The true grasses reach to the knee, the growth becoming less dense as it rises higher, and the crown ing glory of beauty is the wild-eyed ox daisies more dear, however, to the artist than to the farmer. Dotted among the grasses are carmine meadow veching and a dozen other small le- guminosae, yellow weasel snout, but tercups and wild blue geranium. In a strangely beautiful picture of Durer'i which we once saw the artist had evi dently painted tho section of a hay fleld. One seemed to be lying on the cut grass and looking at the wall left after the last sweep of the scythe. Every flower, every stalk of grass was painted, the white daisies filling the top of the canvas. Not only sight but scent is needed to judge the maturity of the crop. In a walk through acres of "mowing grass" to determine the condition of the blossom, the fragrance of the odors from the almost invisible flowers of the grasses and of the tiny clovers, erowsfoot and trefoil that "blush unseen" in the thick growth at the bottom is almost stupefying, and ia certain in some eases to bring on a violent attack of hay fever at night. If the flower is fully out, then the hay must be cut, no matter how threaten ing tho weather, and no crop lies so completely at the mercy of the skies as does the hay. If the crop be short it cannot then be left to grow. The grass must fall while the blossom is upon it or the cattle will not eat i "Better let it spoil on the ground than spoil as it grow s" is a country axiom. For the latter is a certain lass, and a day's bright sun and wind may always dry a fallen crop. Moat lllttiic Observatory. A second attempt is to be made to build an observatory at the top of Mont Blanc. As the workmen who tunneled last year through the snow just below the summit did not come upon rock, M. Janssen has decided that the building Bhall bo erected upon the frozen snow. A wooden cabin was put ur as an.ex- porimcnt at the end of last summer, and u uunuury una curly iu me spring It was found that no movement had oc curred. According to a Lucerne cor respondent the observatory Is to be a wooden building eight meters long and four meters wide, and consisting of twe floors, each with two rooms. The lower floor, which is to be imbedded in tli snow, will be placed at the disposition of climbers and guides, and tho nppei floor reserved for the purpose of the ob servatory.

Hew at a Famoni Disaster Tarried to tha . Mrtnt hy ' "The news of a famous disaster or. the great Indian ocean was lately brought to the living by a sea gull," said a traveler, who was on his way to New Zealand, according to the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. "Some years ago the Indian liner At- i.v,,i ,Mn, K.tween Liverpool and ivi, Wt In the, Indian sea and all on board perished. At that time I was sailinir from London to -New South Wales via the Ked and the Indian eas. The boat I was on was the Tri tonia, a good sound vessel, and I had on enjoyable trip. While sailing in the Indian sea a sen gull was one day cap tured and about Its neck was tied a small note, which read: " 'Atlantis struck on the Ilarad rock. We are all lost. Father Coathe.' "This remorVable message was all that was ever found. The boat had sailed some five months previous, well stocked with merchandise and passcn gers, and had been duly Inspected and pronounced seaworthy. It must have been a terrific shock that caused her to sink. But the message was strange. Who Father Coathe was and how he happened to have a sea gull at hand will always remain a mystery. What wonderful courage he must have had, standing as he did on the brink of eter nity and there writing a message to the living. "We continued our journey to Sidney, where the note and sea gull were both delivered to the harbormaster, together with the evidence of the crew. This was afterward sent to England, where the knowledge was distributed. It seems to me that a few such facts as these would serve to build a narrative upon, and you can easily believe that It would be more interesting than fiction." DOG TRAINED TO STEAL. The Latest Curiosity of Crime la tha World's Metropolis. This curious account of the depreda tion of a felonous dog is from the Lon don 'Daily Graphic. Frederick Hamp ton, forty-five, described as a fish monger, of London road, Croydon, was charged on remand recently before Mr. Biron, at the Lambeth police court, with stealing and receiving a lady's silk umbrella, value seven shillings six pence, the property of Louisa Squires. The evidence already given showed that on Saturday the prosecutrix was walking along Kensington park road with an umbrella in her hand. She saw a trap coming along and a dog run ning behind. The dbg came toward her, took hold of the umbrella and shook it, and she had to let go. The dog then ran off with the um brella in the same direction as the trap. The prisoner, who was driving, was af terward arrested, and upon searching tlfe trap the policeman found seven um brellas, including the one identified by Miss Squires. 'A second case was gone into. Mrs. Henrietta Hay, the wife of Dr. Ray, of East Croydon, stated that at the begin ning of last month she was walking along London road, Croydon, in com- pany with tw0 other adi,,Si The wit ness was carrying a sunshade; a dog suddenly ran op to her, snatched her sunshade and ran after the trap, in which there were two persons That morning she saw the sunshade at the court. : Other victims testified., Eight um brellas were found at Hampton's lodg ings. The prisoner was committed. CITY COUNCIL OF KEMPEN. Dutch Simplicity Was Their Strong- Point, I.Ike That of Some Other Councils. Kempen, a town in Holland on the lower Rhine (the birthplace of Thomas a Ketnpis), is a famous residence of peo ple with small incomes. The imagina tion of these Dutchmen must be as lim ited as their incomes, judging from the droll stories that are told of them, says Harper's Young People. At one time a fire broke out, and much damage was done because the en gines were out of repair. The council met, and after much argument it was voted that on the eve preceding every fire the town officers should carefully examine the engines, pumps, etc. One of the greatest profits of the town was the toll exacted at the gates. The council wished to Increase the income, and instead of increasing the toll it voted to double the number of gates. This same council alsoordered the sun dial to be taken from the courthouse common and placed under cover, where it would be protected from the weather. But of all the queer things that are told of Kempen and its people nothing is so absurd ns this: Grass grew on th top of a very high tower, and the only way these droll Dutchmen could think of to get it off was to hoist a cow uj and let her eat it. The Palmetto rroving Useful. The graceful palmetto, that grows so profusely in the lower tiers of the southern states, has recently become a factor in the industries of the south, for its wood is hard enough to carve and its fiber is strong enough to maks excellent cordage and a useful substi tute for sponges. In Jacksonville, Fla., a factory has been started for the pur pose of making brushes and brooms of the fiber, and elsewhere sink brushes are being made of the wood, half of whose thickness is being converted into bristling points. The young leaves ol the tree make a salad that the people are beginning to appreciate, and the taste of it is likened to that of chest nuts. Boars knew about it long before the people did, and it is a favorite arti cle of diet among them the black bears climbing the trees and browsicu on tho fresh shoots as eagerly as they browse on watermelons. .Now Irj iu,.
