one afternoon, during a shower
' i rain, one was seen walking along the
*' i jenunapes, where, a nmnber of
t’auk'H had jnst finislv" discharging

held in
one hand an jiinhrella, with
Sh she carefully profleted from the
least drop of wet on ugly h'ttle dog with
i gorgeous blue ribbon round its neck.
R,- her side trotted her daughter, a little
gj'rl aliont 3 years old, her shoes not so
waterproof ns they might have lieen,
who. deprived of the protection of the
umbrella monopolised by the do;
rapidly getting drenched.
jV.s she was about to cross the bridge
which spans the canal one of tho coal
heavers went np to her and said, “Allow
me, madam, to relieve you of your dog,
,0 that you may carry your girl to the
Other side.” Tho woman accepted the
offer, hnt when tho party arrived at the
other end of the bridge the coal heaver
threw the png into the canal, telling its
mistress at the same time, “That's a les
son to von not to shelter a dog while
your chUd is getting wet.”
Tho woman screamed and soon a crowd
collected, to whom she pathetically nar
rated tho assassination of her pet. Two
policemen at her instigation took the
coal heaver to tho station, hnt the super
intendent declined to formnlate any
charge against him. All she conid 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
Telegraph.
All Watches Compasses.
A few days ago I was standing by an
American gentleman when I expressed
swish to know which point was the
north. Ho at once palled out his watch,
looked at it, and pointed to the north. 1
asked him whether he had a compass
attached to his watch. "All watches,"
lie replied, “are compasses." Then he
explained to me how this was. Point
the hour hand to the sail, and the south
is exactly half way between tho lionr
and the figure 13 on tho watch. For in
stance, supposo that it is 4 o'clock.
Point tiic 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 tho snn and the
figure 10 on tho watch is duo south. My
American friend was quite surprised
that I did not know this. Thinking that
very possibly I was ignorant of a tiling
that every one else knew, and happening
to meet Mr. Stanley, I asked that omi
nent traveler whether ho wus aware of
this simple mode of discovering the
[Mints of the compass. Ho said that he
had never heard of it. I presume, there
fore. that the world is in tho same state
of ignorance. Amalfi is proud of hnv
ing been tho home of the inventor of the
compass. I do not know what town
boasts of my American friend os n citi
zen.—London Truth.

A Farmer on a Bicycle.
The New England farmer of today tv
much given to tho covored carriage and
horse that holds his head high. I sus
pect that the reliable bat somewhat do-
liber»te a ox satisfied-Ins ancestors. I met
one farmer near Holyoke driving his
cow home from the pasture on a bicycle
—that is, the man was on a bicycle and
the cow was ahead of him on foot,
though she looked os if she would appre
ciate a bicycle, too, aa he was speeding
her along on a rather lively trot. I stop
ped him and asked him if there was any
show for a farmer to make money in
that section, and while the patient cow
leaned against a tree and canght her
breath he replied that there was nona
whatever.
His grandfather had made money on
tho form, he said, bnt he conid not
Then he called to the cow to “bump 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 that perhaps
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 78 sample* of water atad 838
samples of ice from 08 localities, with
the result of showing that, contrary to
general belief, ice may he nearly as lm-
pure as the water from which it forma
The crystallization of the water forces
out the color, salt, and most of the mat
ter in eolation, and clear lea from pol-
luted sources may be comparatively free
from imparities and the probability of
hiding disease germs.
Hut in snow ice and ice formed by
flooding the imparities become entan
gled, so that freezing gives no purifica
tion. Thepublio is warned by the board,
therefore, that ice ia unsafe for domestic
purposes when obtained from apouroe
liollnted bj^&ewage beyond that which
would bo 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.— Arltansaw Traveler.
A Historic Cradle.
The Emperor William, his orothers
and sisters, his children and all his Ho-
uenzollorn ancestors born since 1723 have
***n successively rocked in the family
cradle of that illustrious home or en
throned thereon daring the court pro-
cession which adds splendor to each
royal christening. The ancient couch is
a clumsy structure of old oak, richly
carved, round whose four aides la ont in
Jurge Roman characters the text, “He
hath given his angels charge over thee,
th »‘ they keep thee tn all thy ways.
