A Dog That Buns a Press- A' dog runs the entire ma chinery of a printing office is a novelty. Yet there are many persons who can testify that Plymouth, Wis., possesses such an animal. Gypsy is the name of this remarkable dog-engine, and he is the property of Messrs. Carroll & Bowers, pro prietors of the Plymouth Re view. Gyp, as he is known to the children of the town, is a gigantic two-year-old English mastiff, weighing 140 pounds, who has been taught to furnish the motive power for running the presses of the Review office. A large wooden wheel, eight feet in diameter, was built ex pressly for Gyp's accommoda tion. At the word of command the intelligent canine enters the wheel and begins his work. To the wheel is attached a belt connecting with the presses in the next room. In two hours Gyp has run off an edition of 1,000 papers on a Prouty power press. He also runs a Jones Gordon half-medium job press, and, in fact, all the presses of the office except the small card press, which goes by foot power.

Bears the .Tha Kind Yob Hate Always Bought mmm i o i m 1 Bought, and wliicli has been A 9 has borne tne signature oi Signature of , Make Companions of Your Boys. How many fathers there are in this country who never think of making companions of their boys cannot be estimated, and yet the need is. always great. The father who invites the con fidence of his boy, who makes a companion of - him and who A. makes him feel that he can al ways come to him in evil as in good report, Will rarely have any cause to complain of his son. The great trouble is that men as a rule know too little of their boys, but this would not be the case if they made com panions of them as far as pos sible. Boys as a rule are afraid of their fathers. No boy should be afraid of his father there should be respect and admira tion for the father born of love and duty but it is an awful thing for him to be in constant dread of the parent, and yet this is the case with many of them. The man who makes a companion of his boy ; who partakes Of his youthful pleas ures ; who can always find time to exchange views with him, has an opportunity to correct his mistakes and give the boy the benefit of his experience, but where there is no compan ionship between them this can not be. done. The father who never has time to sit down and talk with his boys about their own af fairs, however simple may be the subject, makes a mistake which sooner or later he will discover, and the discovery is generally too late for correction. Men sometimes miss their chance to shape and mould the character of their boys simply because they have neglected their companionship . Fisher man and Farmer. Mr. J. E. Davis called at this office yesterday morning to ad vertise a buggy and harness which he found near his house Saturday. He had hardly left the office when Mr. Dan Mc Gougan, who lives near' Mr Davis, called to say that he had found a horse, wandering about near his place. Neither knew what the other had found. Mr. McGougan says that he found the horse Saturday and that Sunday a man called and recog nized the horse and carried it away. He returned shortly afterwards, however, and leav ing the horse with Mr. McGou gan, said he did not want it, departed and has not been seen since. The man did not re member his name and said" he had been on a spree The horse and buggy, which evi dently belong to the same per son, are first-class ones. There is evidently some mystery if not rascality connected with it all. Fayetteville Observer of Thursday. o Sears the Signature a ASTORIA. The Kind You Haw Always Bought A Paradise in Bmiis- On by train into interior Cuba a region of abandoned farms, ruined plantations and deserted villages. jMatanzas Province is a desert of ashes ; Santa Clara, a widlernes,s of weeds ; the province of Santia go, a jungle.' The ruin and the desolation are the terrible auto graphs of rifle and torch. Royal palms guard the . plantation re gion, useless sentinels ever since the day in which $60,000,000 of sugar cane became drifting ashes. Nine miles from Guan abana the train came to a wash out, stopped, giving us time to wander about the country Not an inhabitant was visible yes, in one of the ruined haciendas 1 did find one family.1 Father, mother and daughter had been living oh potatoes and fruit for more than a year. Meat and money they had not seen since the beginning of the insurrec tion. The lonely ones living there were worse off than Arabs in the desert, for - they had neither horses nor salt. Learning that they actually beheld an American, they fell to the ground and kissed my boots. Then they wanted to know if what they had heard was really true that President McKinley was coming to live in "Cooba" and was to furnish all the "Coobans" with codfish and cornmeal and coin forever. After that, at every plantation I visited, I found pacificos liv ing in the same tombdke se clusion, the ghostly apparitions of a paradise in ruins. Havana Letter in Leslie's1 Weekly. Muchin Little. Some butterflies have as many as 20,000 distinct eyes. Many insects her r a id breathe with the same apparatus. There are three newsy little American papers in Manila. The Salvation Army was thirty-three years old the other day. The London Mail calls the Philippines "the jewels of the far east." Some one. has exported a ton of Irish turf for an Irish fair at San Francisco. Nearly all skin diseases are supposed to be caused by mi croscopic insects. The pantries at Windor Cas tle contain gold and silver plate valued at $7,500,000.! The American Bible Society has sent 3,500 Spanish New Testaments to Santiago, Cuba. If a man were to leap as far in proportion to his size as a flea, he could jump seventy-six miles. Ex. What Man's Body Contains- There is enough fat to make from four to eight pounds of candles. Enough gas to fill a gasmeter of 3,049 feet. Enough hydrogen to fill a balloon that would lift him self. Enough iron to make five carpet tacks. Enough carbon to make 9,3G0 lead pencils. - Enough salt to provide a din ner party. A bowlful of sugafT Nine and one-half gallons of water. Phosphorus enough to make 8,064 boxes of matches.- Ex. Notable Balloon Ascension- "A remarkable balloon as cent," says the Scientific American, "was made at the Crystal palace, near London, on September 15, by Prof . Ber son, of Berlin, and Mr. Spen cer. The large balloon reach ed an altitude of more than1 five miles, the exact height being 27,500 feet. This altitude has been only once exceeded, aud that was by Glaisher and Cox well in 1862, wThen they ascend ed 37,000 feet. A complete equipment of instruments was carried, and the observations and scientific results were most satisfactory." Whistled for 95 Hours and died- Buffalo, N. Y., Jan. 4. Charles Memberger, 27 years of age, who was found lying by the New York Central, tracks last Friday, with his skull fractured is dead. On the evening on which he received his injuries he began to whistle, although he was wholy unconscious and remained so to the last. He whistled all sorts of tunes and without cessation for 95 hours. A Oelestial Usher's Error- . In Chinese visiting etiquette the rank of the caller is denoted by the size of his card, says the Chicago Inter-Ocean. Thus the visiting card of a high man darin would be an immense roll- of paper picely tied up. The late Admiral Porter, of the United States navy, once en gaged a full-blooded Chinese servant, and Mrs. Porter imme diately thereafter held a recep tion. John Chinaman attended the door and receded with dis gust the small pasteboards of the visitors, and, with an opin ion of his own of the Admiral's friends, pitched the cards into a basket, and with scant ceremo ny showed their owners into the drawing room. But pres ently the gas man called with a bill a big piece of cream-colored paper. This card satisfied John. With deep reverence he received it. With low salaams he ushered the bearer not only into the drawning room, but, with profound genuflections, to the dismay of the gas man and the horror of Mrs. Porter, right up to the centre of the room, where she was receiving her distinguished guests ; and then, John, with another humble bow, meekly retired, supposing that the owner of the card last received was a person of high distinction. 1 Working Night and Day, The busiest and mightiest littlething that ever was made is Dr. King's New Life Pills.

The Quen Visits The Sick. The royal women of Spain have not abandoned themselves to mourning over the terrible, crushing defeat of their forces by land and sea. The queen regent visits every day the sick and wounded soldiers brought home from Cuba. The conva lescents are conveyed in royal carriages about the royal park ; and her majesty pays for the sick, soldiers' food from her pri vy purse. Princess Mercedes of Spain refused to have her birthday celebrated by a state ball in the country's present suffering, .and requested that it should be noticed only by her appointment as president of the Red Cross society of Spain. She, further celebrated it by giv ing a dinner to the wounded Spanish soldiers that had been brought home . Valuable to Women. Especially valuable to women is BroTEs Iron Bitters.

If the time kept by any clock in the city should be accurate, it is that indicatec" by the tower clock at jthe Grand Central depot. Peeple hurrying to catch trains are able to see it from Thirdavenue, and those coming from Sixth avenuo get a glimpse of it before they have cleared Fifth avenue. To the sub urbanite, always in a huxry, a few minutes means a great deal. Often it means the buying of a cigar or a newspaper to keep him company on his half hour-ride to NewRochelleor Mount Vernon. No matter what it Is the tower clock is consulted. If he has five minutes to spare, and after spending three of the five min utes he excitedly rushes into the depot to find the train gone his wrath knows no bonds. He consults his own watch and the clock in the waiting-room and finds they agree, then he goes across the street and look at the tower clock, which is five minutes slower. He then wanders around the corner to spend the hour that lapses' before his next train, and misses the next one on purpose. To the attendants at the Grand Central the clock is a constant source of trouble, and about twice a day, as a rule, somebody has to set it right. The clock is all right, but the difficulty lies in the fact that no glass protects the face and hands. Pigeons and sparrows, attracted by the crumbs and sweepings from the cars in the railroad yard, make the depot a loafing place and a roost of the hands of the clock. One pi geon alone cannot affect Mie hands, but when two or three cluster to gether upon one hand, the works fail to lift the load, and the hand steadily drops behind. N. Y. World. Time Spent with the Barber. - "Speaking of barbers," remarked the club kicker, although, to tell the ,truth, nobody had mentioned bar bers, "I have just finished a fifty minutes' siege in one of those infern al tonsorial establishments. Fifty minutesl Just think of it. What a lot of things a man might do during the time he spends waiting his turn in a barber shop before he even has a chance to get shaved. I'll wager that on an average it takes twenty minutes of my time ' every day. Some days it's probably less, and some days a good bit more. But we'll say twenty minutes, anyhow. Now, I get shaved every day. There are three hundred and sixty-five days in the year, and twenty minutes every day would make let me see that would make seventy three hundred minutes in a year. Sixty minutes to an hour would be a little over one .hundred and twenty-one hours, and twenty-four hours in a day would make Great Scott! If anybody had told me I spent over five days every year in a barber shop I would have called him a fool." Philadelphia Record. Did Not Blame the Japanese. A pretty and talkative little girl, evidently her mother's pet, was rid ing in a Sixth avenue "L" train the other afternoon. Her mother ac companied her. The child often set the passengers laughing at her droll and ingenuous remarks. Presently a remarkably fat Chinaman, in full Chinese costume, entered and sat opposite the child. She looked at him in apparent amazement, and then, turning to her mother, with an air that she had "given it up," asked: "Mamma, what's that opposite?" "Sh -. That's a Chinaman, my lear," answered the mother in a low tone. - "The same kind of Chinaman papa says the Japanese are killing?" "Yes, my dear. Doa't talk so loud." The child meditated a moment and then said: "Well, I don't blame them." N. Y. Herald. Descendants of Molly Stark. 51olly Stark not only did not die Si widow because of the valorous bat tle of Bennington, but she lived to become a noble mother of Israel. At one time thirty out of forty of the children attending the district school in what U called the "Stark dis trict" of New Hampshire wera named Stark. They were all de scendants of the four children Molly bore to the hero of Bennington. Now, however, the name is almost extinct in New Hampshire, and in Manchester, the center of the Stark district, only two or three persons are left who bear that name. Molly Stark has a namesake now living in Alameda, Cat., a little girl of thir teen years, who is the sixth gen eration in lineal descent from the heroine of Bennington. Strong-Minded.
