An Argument Against Dogs.
Observing men are of the opinion that
an ordinary dog—and he ts always hungry
—will eat and destroy in twelve months
the equivalent of that which, if given to a
well-bred pig, would make him weigh at
the expiration of that time, 300 pounds
E ma; 280.000 such pigs would aggregate
000000 pounds of pork, now worth at
the home shipping station more than
01.700,000; requiring to transport them
more than 2 800 cars carrying fiftteen t* ns
each, or a train more than sixteen miles
long. This would build 0 40D school houses
and churches, worth 0500 ends, or would
pay ths aversee wages of 14,000 school*

Venice is the home ol the VenlUan, end
also where toe gondola has its nests end
rears its young. This is the town where
the "Merchant ot Venice" me 1 to do busi
ness, end the home of "Bhy lock,” a broker,
who sheared the Venttlan lamb at the
corner of the Rialto and the Grand Canal.
He is now ao more.
Venice Is one of the best watered towns
in Europe. You can hardly walk n block
without getting yonr feet wet, anises you
ride in a g indola.
The gondola is a long, slim back, with
out wheels, and is worked around through
the damp streets by a brunette man, whose
breath should be a sad warning to ns all.
He ii csilcJ the gondolier. Sometimes he
sings in a low tons ot voice and in a for
eign tongue. I do not know where I have
met so many foreigners as I have here in
Europe, unless it was in New York at the

The Italians are quite prond ol their

that if Venice wonld ran less to art and

my respect. Artie ell right to a certain

New York Tribune.
Jay Gould csrefnlly read yesterday altar-
noon toe pnbllsbed dispatch from Fort
Jervis, in which it was asserted that be
•till owed a cobbler at Alligervlllf, in Ul
ster connty, for necessary repairs to bis
shoes when he was engaged in surveying
the connty over a quarter of a century ago.
His eyes twinkled wltb fan when be looked
ap from toe newspaper clipping which a
Tribune reporter had handed blm.
• Ridiculous," be remarked. “Why, I
used to mend my own shoes. In (boss
dava every fermer'e eon was taught to
maks snd cobble his own boots. I shouldn't
beve thought of (pending money on some
thing I could do myaell. I we* only six
teen years old then. A man by toe name
of Snyder advertised f. r en engineer to
surrey the county for a map. I remember
well when I went to work for bim. He

I told to* farmer after I bad eaten
my breakfast whet Snyder bed
told me to do, end 1 took ont my book to
make the entry. The farmer squared off
at me at once, and from him, end after
wards many tthers, I Darned that Snyder
waa in very bed repute in a financial way.
It pot ms on my guard, however,and when
my work was done I refused to give it np
before I was paid. Snyder had no money,
snd iba result was that another young
man, Mr. Tilaon, end I completed the sur
