The Waterloo Dog. On a w et day in the autumn of 1811, an oflicer of the regiment then quartered at Chatham, while studying a plan which had been brought for his inspection, had his attention attracted by the pite ous cries of an animal in distress. On going to the window to ascertain the cause, ho saw a man cruelly kicking a half starved dog. Speaking to the man having no effect, he gave him a half crown to release the poor animal, and the officer, returning to his occupation, thought no more of the matter. But as the evening drew oh, he heard a low whine at the door, and thinking it might bo the dog of a brother officer, he opened the door, when, to his sur prise, he beheld the wretched dog he had befriended. He jumped on his ben efactor, and expressed his gratitude in every way he could. Food was offered him" which he refused, but was satisfied to be allowed to remain all night' on the door-mat near his friend. In the morning, the servant, seeing a strange dog, turned him out, but he remained in the street till the oflicer coming at night found the poor animal lying on the steps, and all attempts to drive him away proving useless, he allowed him to enter the house, and gave him the namo of Shag. from that time Shag never willingly left his master. The regiment, in 1815, embarked for Belgium, and the dog was forgotten till the oflicer, when in the boat going on board the ship, dis covered Shag snugly hid under his cloak. He gave orders that the dog should return with the boat. As the boat left the ship's side, poor Shag's howls fell ipon hi3 master's ears. In the middlo of the night, however, he was roused by something junking on him, and he was nearly smothered by the caresses ' of his dog, which had found his way into the ship. On land ing, and the march of the regiment, the dog was lost sight of, and was not seen again until the 18th of June, when just before the battle the dauntless Shag was at his master's feet. He seemed to understand that hi3 master could not attend to him, and only showed his sat isfaction by a brisk wagging of the tail. During that terriblebut glorious day the officer was dangerously wounded. lie was carried to a farm-house, where he was nursed until he was well enough to be moved to Brussels. On the even ing of his leaving, the farmer heard a low whining under the window. On open ing the door, in rushed the dog, who, after visiting every room in the house for what he sought, stretched kimself with a piteous howl on the bed tho ofli cer had occupied. Feeling sure that the faithful animal must belong to their guest, the good farmer and his wife de termined to take Shag (for it was he) to Brussels. At first he was unwilling to leave, but an idea seemed at length to strike him, and ho trotted on before them. At the entrance of a narrow street in the town, he showed evident signs of uneasiness, till, laying hold of a woman's dress, he I'ulled her to the door of a house. Tho door was opened by a soldier, and immediate- Shag rushed between his legs up stairs, and to his unspeakable joy, onco more in tho presence of lm beloved master. They returned together to England, and Shag for many years was the faith ful companion and friend of the Water loo hero. A Boston Love Scene. There was a scene at Music Hall one morning dur ing the Her. Mr Murray's services. During tho early part of the exercises a handsomely attired lady, with a prepos sessing face and a pretty figure, was ob served to be carefully scanning the vast congregation from different parts of tho uouse. After having apparently in spected the jieoplo on the iioor of the hall, sho hurrried up to the first bal cony, and opening one door after ano ther, and had nearly comjileted her re view of the people here, when her piercing gaze alighted upon a man who was comfortably seated by the side of a temale of attractive aprearance. The lady, who had 3pent nearly half an hour in gazing into the faces of the congre gation, had now apparently found whom she sought, for, with a "tiger's fierce bound, she sprang upon the man, and, seizing him "by the arm and wildly glaring in tho face, sho screamed: "I've caught you, sir; Ive caught you at last! Did you think you could deceive mo thus ?" Then, turning tho darts of her pierc ing eye3 on his female companion, she was about to give her a piece of her mind, when the man, who was apparent ly a wayward husband, Beized tho en gaged Amazon by tho arm and they left the hall followed by the gaze of the as tonished spectors of the scene, who ev idently understood the meaning of the flurry. Conversation at Home. No man should allow the cares of life to rob him of mirth and elacticity. Business life should bo liko an elastic sponge, to re ceive all the experiences of dailv life the little stories of tho street, the nudges of fun that you poke into peo ples's ribs all these"things, gentlemen, you should take home with you. The day's work should be as fuel to the evening's entertainment. Your temper ought to be a fire which cheers, like the open fires which give light, warmth and ventilation. It is as bad to have a close social atmosphere in tho house as a room full of noxious gas, for, when the explosion comes, it is enough to teach your children to take the roof off. Can you not teach your children to talk by furnishing them happy themes? Chil dren are very quick-witted. You can't make every boy an orator, but vo don't think there is a boy who cannot bo made a very agreeable and ready talker if fur nished with agreeable themes. Domesticated Buffaloes. James McKay has six buffaloes on his grazing farm at Long Lake in Manitoba; two of these are calves brought in from the West last fall; the others are older, some of them full grown. They feed with cattle during the winter, accomjm ny them to the river for water every day, and are the first among the herd to enter the warm stables for shelter at night. The buffaloes, from natural iustinct, are conscious of an approach ing storm sometime before felt, and re tire to comfortable quarters sometimes an hour or two before the storm, arises. Toronto Globe. A swett little boy only eight years old bless his little heart walked into the scene of a teachers' examination at Oswego, and bawled out, "Annie, your "3 low is down to the house!" In most places "a stone's throw," "five minutes' walk," etc., are used for meas ures for short distances. In Dubuque, however, they speak of a place as being "within the bawl of a mule." The. Spring Appetite. About this time of year a large pro portion of the people in our northern climate even those of pretty vigorous health begin to lose their relish for food. The breakfast bell has no music in it. Lunch is a bore, and it takes them some time to make up their minds what they can eat for dinner. The man charges it to the "muggy spring weather," or else concludes that he is "getting bilious." Whatever the cause, he feels, as the old fashioned folks would say, "kinder gin eout." And so, in the American fashion, he goes on dosing. He eats rhubarb, or takes salts, or drinks alo or "root and yarb" tea. Or, if he be poor and gullible, hb swal lows two or three kinds of patent medi cine anything to disturb and punch up, as it were, poor mother nature. Now this is all a very bad kind of nonsense. Even the physicians have made wonderful jrogress within the past ten years toward a practical recog nition of the fact that nature rarely needs inedicine to help her children out of trouble. There was a pound given twenty years ago, where an ouneo suffices now. Intelligent people have learned that a wise regulation of diet, with physical warmth and cleanliness, and plenty of either rest or exercise will 2revent or cure all ordinary disar rangements of the systen. No one who has put thought into his eating, and ob served the effects of food or drink upon himself, as every sensible man should do, need ever do violence to his system with physic. But there are men who will iudulge heartily in meats and heat and fat-making food all winter make no change when spring comes, and then wonder what is the matter with their appetite. The air, the skies, the face of the earth, all chauge, and all the con ditions of living are altered; but they stick to their beef and ham and mutton and hearty food just the same in April or May as in December or January. Na turo brings them xip with a round turn, and says: "Give mo a fair show if you won't treat mo right I'll be reveng ed." And so the man has a "spring ap petite," and drenches himself with bit ters or peppers himself with rnlls. at is a great pity tuat common sense in these matters should be so uncom mon. If a man isn't hungry, why should he eat? If ho can eat breakfast and rel ish it at 11 or 12 o'clock, but can only force down a. few morsels at 7, why shouldn't ho conform to the situation? Not a fifth part of the civilized worJd breakfasts in the arbitrary and senseless fashion in vogue in this country. Many a man and woman would find their ap petite equal to a jilate of oranges, or a dish of oatmeal and cream, or a plate of hominy and sugar in tho morning, who cau't eat clicks, fried potatoes and grid dle cakes. A head of lettuce and a slice of bread and butter will often be relish ed for lunch where hot soups or cold meat would go untouched. Fish and eggs are plenty and cheap, aud they af ford a great variety and combination of dishes, especially adajited to tho season. Another point is too often forgotten: Spring means renewed activity. If the city men who have huddled in ill-ventilated cars all winter, will walk to and from their business, or far enough to get up a good glow every day, they would soon notice a change in their rel ish for food. If the women would get out into tho air spy around tho mar kets for nice things to get the home ta ble out of the old familiar ruts visit their children's schools walk for the fun of it, or evea to see the spring open ingsthe change from the nerve-rasping perplexities aud stifling air of the house would revive their interest in the tho bill of fare. We are all too prone to sit still and "se9 the wheels go round" in the same old fashion in matters religious, polit ical, social, industrial and gastronomi cal. If some of the pretty pious mot toes that adorn our homes could be traded off for the "golden text" "Va riety is tho Spice of Life" and the use ful trutn it embodies could bo applied as it ought to be, there would be a good deal more fun in the world, and more good digestion, and therefore, it would be less of "a dog kennel of a place," than the dyspeptic philosopher declares it to be. Golden Hide. A Stheet-Cak Mysteky. There were five passengers on a Woodward avenue car going north yesterday four women and a man. The man was long-bodied and his eyes had a squint, but yet no one suspected him of beinjy a fiend. It so hapjened that one of the women sneezed, and the man made a dive un der a paper parcel on tho seat and held up a glass eye between his thumb and finger. "Who sneezed her glass eye out?" he blandly inquired as he looked from one to the other. There was an awful silence. The women turned red or pale, and cast sly glances at each other, and then at the false eye. "Which of you sneezed?" softly in quired the man while ho held tho eye half way across the aisle. "I didn't," replied one and in a min ute all denied the act. "Well, I have two natural eyes, as you can all see," continued the man, "and of course I have no use for this. It seems to mo that the owner should claim it, as she may find it very difficult to procuro another as good. I will leave it on the cushion and turn my back to all of you." "And I will leave the car!" exclaimed one of tho women as sho pulled tho strap. They were all of the same mind, and as they walked away from each other, each one looked back and mused: "I wonder why on earth she didn't claim it?" Detroit Free Press. Mystery Solved. Two vears ao a man by the name of John Ofedheimer, a German, was suddenly and mysteri ously missing from the Washington Village division of tho Heights. He left a family, consisting of a wife and six children, the youngest child but a few weeks old, and the oldest a girl scarcely thirteen years. Tired of wait ing, they soon mourned for their pro tector as dead, and the mother set about the real problem of providing for the family. They had been left quite des titute. Recently, as this little family were seated at their frugal breakfast of p-rvidget the postman left a letter al dressed to the widow of John O'eJ heimer. It boro the stamp of the Uni ted States Treasurer, aad was sealed with wax. It contained an official no tice from the Treasury Department in W ashmgton that a United States Con sul in Australia had forwarded to the Department a trunk filled with tho ef fects of her late husband, who died in that country. Along.with this proper ty was also 84,000 in gold. Letters of administration were taken out and the proper papers, signed and sealed, were forwarded to Washington. The Bine Umbrella. In the language of commerce, blue, as a color, is looking up. Strange as it may appear, it has taken mankind over 4,000 years to discover the merits the true blue, as it were of tho azure ray. This is the more strange as Nature has set him an example of her love for blue a blue sky is overhead and three fourths of the earth's surface, "tho sea, the blue, lone sea," is of that color; acd a3 an example of the eternal fitness of things, the prospect of the whole na- tion looks jiarticularly blue at present. , Blue eyes denote a peaceful tempera-' ment; a blue light ahead signifies that all is safety and serenity (on a railroad) ; the famous Blue Laws were solid, sober and sombre, and a nose of blue shows a frigidity of temperament that pertains to a dweller in the North, as the poet says, to the Laplander: "With blue, cold nose and wrinkled brow Traveller, whence comest thou?'' And, lastly ,.a man with an habitual blue cotton umbrella overhead is cer tain to be a man of calm and unruffled demeanor, a man whose deportment is as far above censure as his blue um brella is above his head. No man with a blue umbrella is ever seen in a hurry. He never figures in a divorce case. He rarely has a lawsuit, and feverish-speculation enters not into his thoughts. His walk and conversation are alike slow and circumspect, and no visionary railroad schemes or joint stock companies emanate from the head on which descends the subdued light of a blue cotton umbrella. The umbrella that i3 wildly waved after a retreating street Car is not blue. No respectable blue umbrella serves as a prop to a man who is vainly searching for a koy-hole at two a. m. It is always tho nice, modern silk umbrella that is taken by surprise. It is the silk umbrella that keeps the rain alike from the just and the unjust. It is the model umbrella that shields the insurance agent, tho lightning-rod man and the sewing-ma-chino peddler, and to sum up the evi dence, what this country wants is to re turn to the honest and trustworthy shade of the blue cotton umbrella. Detroit Free Press. Tuu Faumek and the Counselor. A counselor in the Common Pleas, who was esteemed a mighty wit upon the strength of a chance hit, amid a thou sand flippancies, and his occasional bad jokes in bullying, bantering, brow-beating; ridiculing and maltreating women and other folks, in a late cause, resolved to hoax a clownish Yorkshire farmer one who, by his uncouth look and gait, appeared expressly meant by Fate for being quizzed and played upon; so, hav ing tipped the wink to those in tho back rows, who kept their laughter bottled down until our wag should draw the cork, he smiled jocosely on the clown, and went to work. "Well, Farmer Numskull, how go calves at York?" "Why, not, sir, as they dowi'you, but on four legs instead of two." "Officer," cried the legal elf, piqued at the laugh agaiust himself, "do, pray, keep silence down below there. Now look at me, clown, and attend. Have I not seen you somewhere, friend?" "Yes, very like; I of ten go there." "Our rustic's waggish, quite lacon ic," tho counsel cried, with grin sar donic. "I wish I'd known this prodigy this genius of the clods when" I on circuit was at Y'ork residing. Now, farmer, do for once speak true mind, you're on oath; so tell me, you who doubtless think yourself so clever, are there as many fools as ever in the West Biding?" 4'Vliy, no, sir, no; we've got our share, but not so many as w hen yon were there." A Scotch Story'. A certain minister having become much addicted to drink, his presbytery had to interfere, and get the minister to sign the pledge. The result was that the sudden reaction was too much for him, and he became so ill that the doctor was sent for. The doc tor said he must begin to take his toddy again. This the minister said he could not do, as he had taken the pledge. The doctor replied that he might get a bot tle or two quietly, and nobody but their own selves and the housekeer would know it. "Man," said the minister, "my housekeeper is worse than all the presbytery put together, so that would not do. However, it was arranged that the doctor should bring in the whisky and sugar, and that the minister was to make up tho toddy in the bed-room with the hot water he got for shaving iiurposes in the morning. The result was the minister got speedily well, and one day, on going out, tho doctor said to the ministers housekeeper, " ell, Margaret, your minister is quite him self again. " Ihere snae doubt of that, sir," she replied, "he's quite well in the body, but there is something gane wrong wi his upper story. "Whats there, Margaret?" asked the doctor. "Weel, sir, I dinna ken, but ho asks for shavin water six or seven times a day." An Old Family Indeed. A very searching investigation was carried on a few years ago in tho north of England by two families who were searching up their respective ancestry. The strife M as great between them, each determin ing to look into antiquity further than the other. One of the families, whose name was Spencer, employed an artist to paint an historic scene, representing the building of the ark and the loading up of the ship by Noah and his sons with a multifarious and various cargo. On the gang-plank leading to the deck of the ark two men were seen rolling up a large box, on one side of which was painted in large letters, "Relics, in signia and papers belonging to the Spen cer family." This was considered a cov'p d'etat hard to beat; but the other family, determined not to be outdone m the antediluvian pretences of their name, prepared, at great cost and re search, n record of their antiquity. In describing the exploits of one of their ancestors" at a very early day, who was represented as a man of some authority, this remarkable passage occurred.

It frequently happens that so-called remedies fail to produce a permanent effect. This is because they are merelv palliatives, and therefore do not remove the cause of the maladies, whose symp toms thev after a time cease to ameliorate. This is notably the case with opiates and sedative drugs. It is not so, however, with Mostetter s letters, which are a searching specific that con quers the disease as well as banishes it indicia.
