BROOKLYN'S LATEST GAIN.
The Quaint ld Plantation of Flatbush
Which the lgga Town Has Absorbed.
The beautiul old Dutc town of
Flatbush, whth tas just been added to
Brooklyn, is one if the oldest and most
interesting setyWents near New York.
The statemenljhai been made that it is
even older thin Brooklyn. The facts
are that BrooUynpot a Dutch charter
in 1053, where (ii)V. Petrus Stuyves
ant granted a pant for Flatbush in
1051, but both towis date earlier than
those years, anj lrooklyn was the first
one settled. I
It was in 1530 according to the
almanac of th lrooklyn Eagle for
1893, that three ctizens of New Am
sterdam went orerto Gowanus and the
Wallabout (now tie Nineteenth ward
of Brooklyn) anl taught land of the
Canarsie Indians, vho claimed all that
shore. They built loon afterward, and
thus began the stttement of Brooklyn.
Cornelius Dickson established a ferry
between our Peel sip and what is now
the foot of Fultof street in KM3, and it
was called thejfetry to Breukelen,
after the name o a place in Holland.
It was 1646 (somesa; in May and some
say in June of thai year) when schepens
were elected overhere, and the Dutch
governor and co(ncil recognized the
formation of a givernment across the
river. They had given the whole of
Conynen (Coney) iiand to Gvsbert Op
Dyck two years before that, in 1644, but
without surrendering the government
claim upon the fpheries there. Ten
years later, in 16(4, Flatlands, Flat
bush and Brooklyn organized a militia
company to scare away robbers and
pirates. So Flatbifch first comes into
the history of Brooklyn just two hun
dred and forty years earlier than the
bigger place swalloved it up.
Flatbush was theti Midwout or Mid
dle Woods and its settlement had been
begun in 1651. Some persons insist
that settlers went there as early as
1634, two years before the first New
Yorkers went over to Breukelen, but
1651 is the first reliable date in the his
tory of the old Dutch farming village.
In that year Stuyvesant granted a pat
ent authorizing the people there to
maintain a village.
To-day the old town is the seat of a
tremendous real estate flurry, on ac
count of which the old farms have been
cut up by streets and parceled into lots
which are advertised on all sorts of "easy
terms" and for apparently very cheap
prices. Trolley lines run out through
the once noble main street of the vil
lage and far beyond, and the confusion
of a transition period makes the place
very shabby. But some old Dutch
houses and many noble and beautiful
mansions of a colonial period still
stand there beside country seats of
grp.at sine and later da-te. Lovers of
the antique and the historic in archi
tecture have long been making pilgrim
ages to Flatbush to gloat over the
quaint fanlights, the old half-doors
and the gable windows, and to revel in
the pursuit of splendid mantels, and
andirons, and door knockers, and the
the like, few of which have been part
ed with by their owners.
A DOG'S KNOWLEDGE OF
TIME.
Day A
Bow Animals Tell the Time of
iioston Hubject
How do dogs know the time of day?
some one asks the writer, and pro
ceeds to relate some stories to prove
that they do know it. One of these
stories is about a collie who starts
every afternoon to meet his master,
who always comes on the five-thirty
train. Trains are continually coming
and going, and whistling and ringing,
but Pete pays no attention to any but
this one. As soon as its whistle is
heard he begins to bark joyfully, and
never makes a mistake. Another dog
became so much accustomed to going
to the schoolhouse every morning with
his little master, that when the boy
was absent for several weeks, the dog
still went on going to school, arriving
punctually at nine every morning.
Moreover, he never went Saturday or
Sunday.
With regard to the first case, says
the Chicago Times, it might be replied,
perhaps, by a skeptical person, that
the dog was more likely to be able to
distinguish the special whistle of the
locomotive which drew the five-thirty
train, than to know it by the hour of
day. And yet, the writer has no sort
of doubt that dogs do know when a
certain hour arrives at which some
thing regular and accustomed takes
place. The second case seems to prove
this very thing. There is a case on
record in which a doctor, who was ac
customed to visit a certain village at a
certain hour on a certain day each
week, always found a dog of his ac
quaintance waiting for him outside the
town, and it was proved that the dog
never came to the place at any other
day or hour.
Evidently, all that can be said in ex
planation of such eases is that animals
are susceptible of having periods or
cycles of time established in their in
telligence by use, and that their igno
rance of timepieces only serves to make
the instinct the keener. It is well
known that men who have never pos
sessed watches, and who work or hunt
habitually at 'a distance from clocks,
are very expert at estimating the lapse
of time. Perception of this kind un
doubtedly may le cultivated in an in
telligent animal as well as a man.

WILD btrt8i5 HIS FRIENDS.
The Queer Storlos Told About a Pioneer
Washington Rancher.
Among some visitors to Seattle the
other day was Peter Gallagher, a
rancher living three miles from Ren
ton, says the Seattle Press-Times. Mr.
Gallagher is one of the pioneers of the
sound country, and has lived on the
same place for twenty years or more,
taking up a quarter section as a home
stead from the government. By years
of hard toil he has cleared up and im
proved a splendid place, which, though
secluded from the outside world, is a
model ranch, of which the owner is
justly proud. Mr Gallagher is not
given to hunting and does not molest
wild game of any kind, and to this may
be ascribed the tameness of a number
of animals which make the woods in
that vicinity a home. One of these, a
black bear, has for a year visited his
stockyard almost daily and eaten with
the cattle, lying down among the
calves and displaying neither fear nor
ferocity. Mr. Gallagher goes among
the stock and frequently passes within
two or three feet of his bearship, not
only in the yard but in the woods. He
pays no attention to the bear and the
latter never offers to molest him on
the contrary, eats with evident satis
faction pieces of bacon and other scraps
from the table that are thrown out to
him. The bear is a handsome three
hundred pound fellow and appears to
enjoy the company of the cattle.
Other pets are a pair of fawns that
run around with the young stock on
the place, eating with the calves and
lying down among them as contented
as though with their own kind. They
evidently come from the vicinity of
Cedar lake, where considerable hunt
ing is done and from, which section
game is being driven. Mr. Gallagher
says he had rather part with the best
cow on his place than one of the fawns.
This is the second time fawns have
taken up their abode ai, this place, the
first pair coming there about five years
ago and remaining with his stock for
two years, even going into the stables
and being locked up over night. He
gave them to a neighbor, who in turn
presented them to friends at Snoho
mish and up the Skagit. This sounds
fishy, but not only is it vouched for,
but it is further said that wild ducks
and geese alight in hiB yard and show
no fear in his presence, though the ap
pearance of a stranger is the signal for
flight. Mr. Gallagher never hunts and
will not allow hunting on his place
nor interference in any way with his
pets, either quadrupeds or winged.
OUR GREATEST DEADHEAD.
The Poatmat.r o.nwl Has Itnllmltart
Fosses on All Kallroad Trains.
"The postmaster general of the
United States has at his command
greater number of railway mileages
free of cost than perhaps any man in
the world," said a railway passenger
conductor to a St. Louis Republic man
recently. "My ignorance of this came
near costing me my job a few years ago.
"Over in Illinois one midnight the
through train of which I had charge
was flagged at a little way station and
a red-faced man climbed aboard the
front passenger coach. The stopping
of my train at that hour of the night
made me mad to begin with, and 1 was
in no good hmor when I approached
my new passenger to collect his fare,
Then, when he shoved at me a much-
handled piece of pasteboard, signed by
the postmaster general and command
ing in imperious language that the
holder be carried free of charge on all
trains carrying United States mails, I
lost my temper completely. 1 was so
mad that I would liatcn te- no explana
tion from him, because I considered
him either a train robber or an impos-
ter, and I made him pay his fare in the
coin of the realm, for which I gave him
a receipt.
"I soon heard from my mistake after
I reached St. Louis. The post office
authorities and the railway people
came down on me like a thousand
brick. I learned from them that my
midnight passenger was a post office
inspector, and that every man in this
service is provided with a card from
the postmaster general commanding
the conductors of all railroad trains
which carry mail to pass the bearer
free. The name of no railroad com
pany or official appears on the card,
but the holder of it can travel on any
road in the United States as far as he
wants to go without paying a cent "
"There Is a species of fish In the In
dian ocean which have a very remark
able peculiarity," said a Philadelphia
naturalist. "This fish is provided with
a short snout, which it uses very much
as a sportsman uses a gun. Swimming
close beneath the surface of the water,
it watches the flies flitting about di
rectly overhead, and having selected
one to its fancy, suddenly thrusts its
head out of the water, and with un
erring marksmanship discharges sev
eral drops of water at its victim. Con
fused, and with its wings drenched and
rendered temporarily useless by the
watery projectiles, the insect drops to
the surface of the water, where it is
gobbled up by its voracious enemy.
These fish are said to be able to bring
down a fly in this manner from the
height of two or three feet."
BETTER THAN ABANK,
A Mailnan Don's ftllvpr fln, Which Ha

the following story to a writer for the

delegation of twelve or thirteen serfs
and their equally patient and uneom-
plaining fellow serfs, the burros. Then 1
the don mounts the head burro and the
procession takes the truil for the fam
ily mine, as it is called. The mine has
been in the potsesbion of the don and
his ancesstors for the pabt four cen
turies. It it nothing but t ruda. tunnel
Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report
.ABSOLUTELY PURE
in the mountain side. The entrance to
the tunnel is securely barricaded with
heavy timber doors, Which are securely
locked with three old Spanish locks,
the kevs to which are alwavs in the
possession of the don. When the mine I
is reached the don unlocks the doors.
He then directs his body servant to
swing his hammock beneath the
branches of a massive tree standing
at the entrance to the mine, which was
well grown sapling when the first
don of the family discovered the mine
four hundred years ago.
'I he peons are then set to work
getting out the rich silver ore, which
they put into baskets slung upon the
backs of the burros. It is but the work
of five or six hours to get out ore that
will be worth several thousands of dol
lars. The ore is free milling ore and
it is no trouble to work it. While the
ore is being taken out of the mine aud
put into the baskets the don is lying m
his hammock leisurely smoking cig
arettes. When the baskets are full the
don manages to pull himself together
long enough to lock up the mine and
seal the entrances and the cavalcade
then starts back and goes straight to
Chihuahua, twelve miles away. As
soon as they arrive there the don sells
the contents of the baskets, for which
he receives from twelve thousand to
eighteen thousand dollars in cash in
Mexican money. He gives his peons a
liberal tip besides their meager wages
which they divide, like the conscien
tious peons they are, between the
church and the pulque merchants and
reserve a small modicum to keep them
selves and their families partly clothed
aud fed until the don holds his next
grand rally, which occurs four or Ave
times a year. The don owns a mag
nificent hacienda, has a lovely wife and
two beautiful daughters, who have all
the pride of the true Castilians. The
hacienda contains over six thousand
acres and is one of the principal high'
ways leading out of Chihuahua, upon
which, like most of the land own
ers of the country, he pays little taxes."

the name of Jeremiah Nason, who has
a fund of quaint philosophy concerning
the habits of sheep and men. fie
lived for many years near Dedham,
and is an authority on wool growing
and on the weather signs indicating
when it is proper to make changes in
clothing and to "physic the system."
"1 am seventy-two yeara of age," he
used to say, "hale and hearty, and
could drive a stagecoach to-day as well
as 1 did fifty years ago if there was only
one of 'em to drive. Why am I healthy?
Shol Every spring I take sulphur and
molasses for three days. I lay most o'
my health to that. Never drank any
kind of liquor except now and again a
little hard cider, and cider, let me tell
you, is a grcnt, thing for the stomach.
Besides, I never took off my winter
clothes until after the 'sheep storm,'
and theu I never was much of a one to
worry. That's what eats a man up
worry. If he wants a lot and can't get
it and he goes out into the cold with
his pores all open he's just likely to
catch a cold and die, but if he will just
trust to the good Lord, eat hreakfastut
daylight, put in a good, honest day's
work and go to bed at ten o'clock with
an easy conscience, he'll live out the
full span.
"I'm no believer in these new-fangled
ideas about microbes and the like. I've
never seen any of 'em. Why, the way
doctors talk you'd think we couldn't
eat anything that's safe. Microbes in
milk to give you consumption; mi
crobes in water to give you fever;
microbes in pork to give you a disease
called trickey something or other; mi
crobes in the air to give you smallpox.

reckon my plan is the best. My chil
dren and grandchildren are brought
up that way. The only bad habit I
have," and the old gentleman carefully
pulled a silver snuffbox from his
pocket, "is taking a pinch of this half
dozen times a day. Its mighty
comfortin'."
HIS HEARING WAS RESTORED.
But After Being Cured He Couldn't Even
Bear the Ticking of a Watch.
A well-known physician recently told
the following story to an Indianapolis
Sentinel reporter;
"A prominent Marion county farmer
discovered that he was gradually get
ting deaf. He couldn't hear the hired
man blast stumps with giant powder.
He came to my office and made signs
that he wanted his ears examined. I
examined them, and in an instant, al
most, found that his defective hearing
was caused by the gathering of a waxy
substance in the ears. When I re
moved that obstruction of the hearing
I was surprised at the result. The old
gentleman jumped from the chair
where he had been seated and put both
hands to his ears. He couldn't stand
the noise from the street and the least
sound startled him. He was one of the
most pleased men I ever saw. L'e went
away and it was several weeks before I
saw him again. He called at the office
with his wife and she did all the talk
ing. She hardly, raised her voice above
a whisper and every now and then she
looked at her husband in a timid way.
She said that for several days he would
not allow the least bit of noise in the
house, and that he butchered some
pigs before their time because of being
affected by their squeal His daughter
and her husband had lived with them
for two years and they had to leave on
account of the crying of their six-months-old
baby There were two
clocks in the house, one in the dining
room and one in the bedroom. These he
stopped on account of the ticking The
clock in the bedroom was an alarm
clock. It went off one night. He
ljumped from bed and nearly broke his
neelt by falling head first on the floor.
The woman said that she had to keep
the house as quiet as a country grave
yard for more than two weeks, for it
was that long before her husband be
came accustomed to hearing. His
daughter, however, has gone back to
the farm with Imr baby, and the clocks
have been started again."
Emperor William of Germany, it
seems, will not visit the theater on
Sunday. While, on his recent trip to
Italy the managers of the Theutro
Fenice, in Venice, gave a special enter
tainment in his honor on a Sunday, but
the audience wuited in vain for King
Humbert and tho emperor. It was
learned later that he had called in
stead on Countess Annina Morsinl, and
told her, according to Italian papers,
that he had not at tended a theatrical
performance on Sunday since ho had
ascended the throne.
Frnga Are Wonderrul.
The toad is a higher animal than the
frog, because it gives birth to little air
breathing toads, whereas the frog lays
eggs that produce fish-like tadpoles.
But the frog in certain respects is the
most wonderful creature In the world.
Think of a vegetable-eating fish with
gills that turns into an air-breathing
land animal, developing teeth and be
coming a carnivorous quadruped. That
is the life history of the frog.
