THE BAD BOY A MARTYR-THE DOG COLLAR IN THE SAUSAGE A PATENT STOVE THE TATA-NT TESTED ! HIS PA A BURNT OFFERING -12 ARLY BREAKFAST! ''Ha! Ha! Now I have got you." said tlie grocery man to the bad boy, the other morning as he came in and jumped p. mi i he counter and tied the end of a ball of tu ,ne to the tail of a dog, and "sicked" the dog on another dog that was following a passing sleigh, causing the twine 10 play out until the whole ball was scattered along the block. "Con demn you, I've a notion to i ! oke the liver out of you. Who tied that twine to the dog's tail?" The boy choked with emotion, and the tears came into his eyes, and he said he didn't know anything about the twine or the dog. iJe said he noticed the dog come in, and wag his'tail around the twine, but he sup posed the dog was a friend of the family, and he did not disturb- him. "Everybody lays everything that is done to me," said the boy. ci.s be put his handkerchief to his nose, "and they will be sorry for it when I die. I have a good notton to poison my self by eating some of your gluecose sugar. " "Ye?, and oidc cvfcry.thing tliat is mean. The other day a lady eame in and told me to send up to her house some of my country sau sage, done up in muslin bags, and while she was examining it she no ticed ometln'ng hard inside the bags, and asked mo what it was, and I opened it, and I hope to die if there wasn't a little brass pad -lock and a piece of a red morrocco dog collar imbedded in the sausage. How do you suppose that got in there?" and the grocery man looked savage. The boy looked interested, and put on mi expression as though in deep thought, and ri:ally said, "I -suppose the farmer ' i at put up the sausage did not strain the dog meat; Sau sage meat ought to be strained." The grocery man pulled in about half a block of twine, after the doe: had run against a fence and broke it, and told the boy he kneir perfect ly well how the brass pad lock came to be in the sausage, but thinking it was safer to have the good will of the boy than the ill will, ho offered him a hand-full of prunes. "No," said the boy "I have swore olf on mouldly prunes. I am no kinder garten any more. For years I have eatea rotten peaches around this store, and everything you oould n't sell, but I have turned over a new leaf now. Since fa has got to be an inventor, we are going to live high." "What has your Pa invented ? I saw a hearse and three hacks go up on your street the other day, and 1 thought you had killed your Pa." "Not much. There will be more than three hacks when I kill Pa, and don't you forget it. Well, sir. Pa has struck a fortune if he can make the thing work. He has got an idea about oal stoves that will bring him several million dollars, if he gets a royalty of five dollars on every cook stove in the world. His idea is to have a coal stove on castors with the pipe made to telescope out and in, and rubber hose for one joint, so you can pull the stove all around the room and warm any particular place. Well, sir, to hear Pa tell it, you would would think it would revolu tionize the country, and maybe it will when it gets perfected, but he came near burning the house up, and scared us half to death; this morning, and burned his shirt off, and he is all covered with cotton and sweet oil on, and he smells like sealed dressing- : . "You see Pa had a pipe rriade and some castors put on our coal stove, and he tied a i-ope to the- hearth of the stove, and had me to put in some kindling wood and coal last night, so he could draw the stove up to the bed and light the fire without getting up. Jla told him he would put his foot into it, and he told her to dry up. and let him run the stove busi ness. He said it took a man with brain ti run a patent right, and Ma she pulled the clothes over her head and left Pa do the fire act. She has been building the fires for twenty years, and thought she would let Pa see how good it was. WelL Pa pull ed the stove to the bed- and touched. off the kindling wood. I guess, mayf be I got a bundle of kindling wood that the hired girl had put kei-osene on, cause it blazed up awful and smoked, and the blazed bursted out the doors and windows of the stov and Pa yelled fire, and I jumped oat of bed and rushed in and he waathtf scartess man you ever see, axd you'd a dide to see how he kicked when I threw a pail of water on his legs and put his shirt out. Ma did J not .'get burned, but she was pretty wet, Sand reuy weiauu dollars royalty on that stove - and take the castors off i&nd let it remain stationary. Pa says he will make it work if he burns the house down. I think it was real mean in Pa to get mad at me because I threw cold wa ter on him instead of warm water, to put his shirt out. If I had waited till I could heat water to the right tem erature I would have been an orphan and Pa would have been a burnt of fering. But some men always kick at everything. Pa has given up bus iness entirely and says he shall de voe the remainder of his life curing himself of the different troubles that I got him into. He has retained a doctor by the year, and he buys lini ment. by the gallon." "What was it about your folk get ting up in the Middle of the night to eat? The hired girl was over here after some soap the other morning, and she said she was going to leave your house." "Well tba't was a picnic. Pa said he wanted breakfast earlier than we were in the habit of having it, and he said I might see to it that the house was awake earlier enough. The other night I awoke with the awfulest pain you ever heard of. It was that night that you give me and my chum the bottle of pickled oys ters that had begun to work. Well, I couldn't sleep, and I thought I would call the hired girls, and they got up and got breakfast to going, and I rapped on Pa and Ma's door and told them the breakfast was get ting cold, and they got up and came down. We eat breakfast by gas light? and Pa yawned and said it made a man feel good to get up and f wrt Wnru. .dovKrht-1 iiiH waj no useu toun tc iui, -wv I r 1 J 3 J T I Ma she yawned and agreed with Pa, cause .he has to or have a row. Af ter breakfast we sat around for an hour, and Pa said it was a long time getting daylight, and bimeby Pa looded at his watch. When he be gan to pull out his watch I lit out and hid in the store room, and pretty soon I heard Pa and Ma come up stairs and go to bed, and then the hired "girls, they went to bed, and when it was all still, "and the pain had stopped inside my clothes, I went to bed, and I looked to see what time it wasarJ was two o'clock in the morning. We got diuner at eight o'clock in the morning, and Pa s iid he guessed he would call up the house after thi3, so I have lost anoth er job, and it was all on account of th t bottle of pickled oysters you gave me. My chum says he had col ic too, but he didn't call up his folks. It was al he could do to get up his self. Why don't you sometimes give away something that is not spiled?" The grocery man said he guessed he know what to give away and the boy went out and hung up a sign in front of the grocery, that he had made on wrapping paper with red chalk, which read "Rotten eggs, good enough for custard pies, for'iS cents a dozen." Hydrophobia For some time M." Pasteur, the French investigator, has been exper imenting with a view of discovering whether the fatal infection of rabies can be disarmed of its power by inoc ulation. It is said that he now pos sesses four dogs which are proof against the infection, whatever may be the method of inoculation used Or the virulence of the matter, while, other dogs inoculated with the same virus invariably perish. The experi menter raises the question whether these four animals owe their impuni ty to spontaneous reooveiy from a mild attack, which may have escap ed observation, or whether they are naturally refractory to the disease One of the three dogs which he inocu lated in 1881 survived, . and though inoculated iu 1S32, he did not become rabid. The importance of finding a remedy for all forms of hydrophobia is magnified by,two facts brought to light by the researc hes of M. Bert. One of these is that even if the saliva of a mad dog does not communicate rabies it may prove fatal by produc ing serious local iu juries in other words, the secretions of rabid ani mals have poisonous properties over and above the special rabic virus. The second fact is that it does not fellow because a dog which has bit ten any person does not die, that the animal is free from rabies, These conclusions will add to the terrors of the disease. But there is some con solation in learning from.lL Bert that the mere salivas of rabid dogs do not always communicate the deadly virus, nd apparrently never communicate it unless they contain the mucus from the respiratory or gans, which seems to be the fatal portion of the salvia Tornadoes.

I did not believe, however, that malaria could show such ag gravated symptoms. It never occur red to- me that analysis would help solve the trouble, as I did not pre sume my difficulty was located in that portion of the body. But I con tinued to grow worse. I had a faint sensation at the pit of my stomach nearly every day. ,1 felt a great de sire to eat, and yet I loathed food. I was -"constantly tired and still I could not sleep. My brain was un usually active, but I could not think connectedly. My existence was a living misery. I continued in this condition for nearlv a vear: never re iron. pain, never tor a moment happy. Such an existence is far worse than death, for which I con- f.-ss I earnestly lunge i. It was while suffering thus that a ii iend advised me to make a final at ; ;jipt to recover m h "a in.

Among the passengers in a po.rlor car an the Lake Shore road the other day was a handsome woman whose husband shared the seat with her, and who would have been picked out as a quiet, sedate, absent-minded man. The seat opposite was occupied by a flashingly-dressed 3-oung man, with a lady-killing twist to his mus tache, and he was considerably sur prised when the husband handed him a daily paper :witb the remark : ty of excitement around the country, I observe," The young man was busy with the pap; r for half nn hour and then, the husband offered hhu a popular maga zine. This . ntei lauied him for an hour, and. he se:iieeiy closed the book when the good mnn reached over with : "Have a cigar. Thes-- are Havanas and 1 kno; you will one." prm.e enjoy The young man accepted "with thanks ami naturally made his way t" the smoking car, where he put m nearly another hour, but without the other s company. When - he turned be was greeted with: ! "IVrha'ps you'd like to look at the latest .nove! '. Very entertaining assure von."

In times past when a loafer sat and stared at my wife as a steady job I got up at the end of an hour and broke his neck. This made me much trouble and expense, and I changed my programme.

An interesting discovery, of much importance for geological and archae ological science, ha recently been made in a coal mine at Bully-Grenay, in the French department of Pas de Calais. A new gallery was , being pierced , when a cavern was broken into, which discovervd tho fossil ro maius of five human beings in a fair Htate of preservation a. man, two women, and two children composed the group. The man measured about jewiv'm t-tWi&Mwfo sad, the children "four feet and rather less than this. -In addition. Borne frag" ments of arms and utensils of pertri rled wood and of stone, with numer ous remains of mmamals and fisht were brought to light. A second subterreanean chamber inclosed the remains of cloven human bodies of large size, several animals, and a large number of various objects, with some precious stones. The walls of the cave exhibited drawings repre senting men fighting with gigantic animals. Owing to the presence of . carbonic anhydride a third and larg er chamber, which appeared to bo rmpty, was not searched. Five of the pertritied human remains-will bo exhibited at the mayoralty of Lens. The remainder of the bodies which have been brought to the surface are to be conveyed to l.illo, there t await a thorough examination by the ex- mrts oi tne of the Faculto des Sciences. !

M. and P.M. At. present still another designation is used that of M. when twelve mid day is to be distinguished from 12 P. M.

Any watch or clock can he adapted to the S3"stem by simply putting the extension of the hours in a circle just inside of those already on the face. The ex terior numbers will then be cj insulted up V2 o'clock (noon), and tho interior ones for the remainder of the day. Lumberman. Mr. Richard Proctor makes a strange suggestion in a late number of his paper, to the effect that tho spreading of so large a quanity of iron over the surface of the earth as modern science is doing is likely in the future to exercise a very decided influence of its own, upon electric currents and magnetic storms, and in this way to exercise, a very mag teriol meteorological influence. Hie network of rail ways and tho substi tution of iron for wood all over the country is going on stead ity.au din a rapidly increasing, ratio. Even the Western prairies are being netted in all directions by wire fences, and in calling attention to this fact Mr. Proctor thinks that hero 'is a problem that science will soon havo to solve.
