A Newfoundland named (War. tw-
longing to myself, had often listened
with much interest to stories of rescue
of drow ning persons by dogs, says An­
drew* lung in Longman’s Magazine. I
hap[>en to possess an engraving of
LandseerVi “Member of the Humane So
ciety.” Oscar would oontemplate it fur
hours, aud study the pose in the mir­
ror. One day two little children were
playing alone on St. Andrew’s pier, and
1 whs sketching the ruins at a short dis­
tance, Oscar running about on the pier.
I happened to look up and aaw Oscar,
as if iniMivertently, but quite deliberate­
ly, back one of the children iJolinny
Chisholm by name) into the watsr,
which is there very deep. The animal
then gave three loud howls to attract
attention, lie had been taught to give
••three cheers for Mr. Gladst-ms,”
jumped into the water, meued the
child, and carried him, “quite safe, but
very wet,” to the local photographer’s,
obviously that the deed might be com­
memorated by art. Nobody saw the
Iveginning of this tragedy except my­
self.
Oscar, when brought home, deliber­
ately rapped out “Humane Society”
with his tail on the floor, but, much a«
I appreciated his intelligence, I could
not, in com mon honesty, give him a
testimonial. This preyed on his mind;
he accompanied a party to the top of
St. Rule’s tower, and deliberately lea|Mxl
from the top, l»eing dashed to pieces
at the feet of an eminent divine whose
works he had often, but unsuccessfully,
entreated me to review in an unfavor­
able sense. His plan was to bring the
Ivook, lay it at my feet, and return with
the carving knife in hi« mouth.

“Why?”
“One of them comes in here yester­

replied thecuatodiau, w rapping up a tan

“How?”
“She remembers that the last hard
rain was July 21, and y esterduy when
the suu is «hilling «he comes in here and
asks me if any umbrella is left on the
train that day. Of courae there is.
Find some every rain. I «ay: 'Yer;

that don’t tell anything. She says she’s

“How do you know it isn’t her uni-

“Cause to-day the traffic manager
sees heron the train with that umbrella,
and hear.i her tell another woinan how
she got it, and he fetches it in here just

The old saying of the recruiting aer-
geamtA that, “the lx*t. soldiers come
from the pl ova - tail” Is hardly correct
when looked ut, in the light, of modern
military cx|>ericnce. It is quite true
that in the past regiment» recruited
from the country district« have again
and again made themsel vex cofiapicuou«
for gallantry and endurance, but uhc
changed conditions of modern warfare
appear to have enabled the town-bred
soldier to rather more than catch up
with his country-bred comrade. Sta­
tistics «how that he ix more rapidly
promoted, that, he in more (rrtlle in re­
source, more adaptable to circum­
stance« and quicker in learning the <!•
tails of his buxine«*, while the i in prove»!
conditions of town life w*ni to hav<
plai*d him nearly on n [Mir with ragard

two opinion« on the nubjectr—the best
soldier« come from Pari«; and when it
ix remembered that after t.lu* practical
dcHtrurtion of the regular French army
at M«tz and Sedan the victorious vH-
erans of (iermiuiy were held at bay for
five montlia by the raw leviea mostly
drawn from the French towns, then*
seems but little doubt that the French
opinion is correct.
Different
The yard is the British and Ameri­
can standard of leugth. Down to 1824
the original standard of Britain, (and
from which ours w<is copied) wus a
rod, which had been deposited in the
court of exchequer, London, in th»* time
of Quern Elizabeth. In those »lays, says
the St, Louis Republic, ull measures
intended for general use were taken Ut
the court of exchequer to I m * » xamiEcd
by the projwr officer. Thatoflbfial took
the proposed measure and plac«»d it
l*arnilcl with the r.tandard, and if found
correct placed certain mark.* of identi­
fication upon it. By an act. of parlia­
ment in 1’24 the old Elizabethan stand­
ard was superseded by another, which
had been constructed under tfie direc­
tions of the Royal society 64 year*
previous. This act provided that “the
straight line or distaiwe lietwrcn th»
centers of two points in the gold studs
in the brass rod nowr in the custody
of the clerk of the houxe of cviuinons
shall lie the genuine standard of the
yard measure in Great Britain.” The
net further provided that the measure­
ments of the rod must ix* mads when
the temperature of the bra»« rod wax
at 62 degrees Fahrenheit.
That standnr»l was de»troyr»1 by f n*
in 1834 and the coinmiasion appointed to
replace it made the yard measure now
In use. The new standard was de-
posited in the house of parliament in
1S55 and authenticated copies of it are
in the |K*M*Msion of our government
officials at Washington.

Men Lo«e Th »Hr Live* Through

Scientific inquiry is living directed to
the saving of human life in mine ex­
plosions. Dr. llaldane has established
the fact. that, the loss of life in colliery
accident« is far greater than it need
I m * when those who work in the mine«
and those who manage them have
clearer knowledge of the right thing
to do in the fave of the calamity. In a
recent mine explosion, where 57 men
and 30 horse« were killed, the cause of
death in every case wus proved to lie
not the want of oxygen in the air of the
pit after the explosion, but to com­
paratively slow (loixoning by carbon
monoxide. Sufficient oxygen to sup­
port life was left in the airways all
along the (rack of the explosion. It
appears that meu from want of knowl­
edge now go straight to their d<*eth
in endeavoring to escape. Dr. Haldane
is convinced that hundreds of men have
lo«t their lives by hurrying blindly to­
ward the shaft, or by not retiring to­
ward the face when they met the after­
dump. In many partsof the mine there
will I m », beyond the limits of the ex­
plosion. abundance of air to effect ffilu
tion of the poisonous<*arbon-monoxide,
on breathing which the men suddenly
lose the use of their limbs and finally*

Out in the wilds of Wisconsin in tlu*
little rural village of llartintow’n. Green
county,live« one of the most industrious
meu of the century, says the New Yoik
World. He is l’eter Haase, a cabinet­
maker. Tun y ears ago he conceived the
idea and ¡rejected plans in detail of the
most ingenious and elaborate combina­
tion liookcase and w riting cabinet in the
world. Having saved enough money to
support him the n mainder of his life,
he began the const ruction of not only
one of the*» * abiuvta but of 15, finishing
a certain part of each at the same time
before advamkng farther.
The cabinets arc inlaid w ith all of the
native woods, the boards having been in
his shop seasoning for over 18 yea’s.
When completed the 15 cabinets will
contain 4,00».d00 pieces of wool. Some
idea of the :mr required for the com­
pletion of this undertaking may be kid
by knowing that it would take a m: n
working eight hours a day one y ear to
simply sort and count u million pieces,
many* of w hich w ill have to be bundled
20 times by Mr. Haase before being per­
manently adjusted. The top of each
.•abinet is to contain 17,000 pieces and
each of the posts 4,000. The aged
workman figures that it will take him
six years to finish hix work and the ‘5
pieces of furniture will be completed
at the saine time.

Our Orators Mhonltl ll«»d the Declaration

Probably three out of four Fourth ol
July orators in their wpeeches this yeai
q nt ate d the Declaration of Independence
ax claiming that. “All ¡uen are created
free and equal.” The mistake has been
common in the |juwt and it ix ns preva­
lent now an ever. President« of the
United State*, members of congres«,
governors and a host of !«.**«• r light«
have made the blunder, and to their
number can lx* added editors and dis-
tluguinhed orator« like the late Henry
Ward Beecher. Nevertheless, the Dec­
laration dm* not say that “all men are
created free and equal,” and it would
not lie true if it did.
No p«*rxon i«
created free. Ho or she io subject f«»r
years to the control of parents or guard­
ians, «n<l natural laws recognize this
subjection ax right. What the Declara­
tion does say i« that: “All men are
created equal.” There may lx* some dis­
sent. from that doctrine, a» there la an
evident difference among men in mental
anti physic«I endow merit nt birth. But
while the Declaration of Inde|»rndence
is quoted ax saying they are, it had bet­

In first rate cookerv.
which is one <>f delicate combinations

is quickly detected by cultivated pal­

boxen ill the house. Pulverized dried
herbs that are wild in bottles or tin nr»*
of little value. For flavoring purj>os»*
they ar« hardly more effective than so
much dried dust. Sorrel soup, on ac­
count of it« pleasantly acid flavor, is
much in vogue in Euro|M*. llereit is al­
