Just after the religions exercises were started one of the officers of tho association went to old ilay hevr and said: "Look here, old man, there is something the matter with that spring water." "Think so?" "Yes, I know it. Tastes bad and smells awful." "Wall, I v-'t dfspute your word. Man's got a r.-,ut to his opinion in this here neighborhood." "But can't something be done?" "I don't know but thar mout." "What would you suggest?" "Wall, I reckon the best thing to do as a starter would be to take the dog out." "Take the dog out" the officer gasped. "What do you mean?" "Mean yon had better pull out the dead dog, an' give the watsr a chance to prove its innocence." "Is it possible that you knew there was a dog in there?" "Of course I knowed it when I seed him in thar." "Why didn't you take him out?" "Well, it's old Andy Patterson's dog, an' me an' Andy ain't on good terms, you know. Andy is mighty funny about m3 property. I found the dog, the same one, in my fcpringhouse once, an' I pulled him out, an' pulled him putty hard, too, an' Andy got mad an' chunked me round a good deal, an' since th.it I alius let his property alone." Pittsoorc DLsnatch. Puritanic Horror of Klsslnj. Many ridiculous anecdotes are told to illustrate Puritanic horror of this pleasant and natural salute one of Rev. Brown, an English divine, who was known as the au thor of a Biblical Concordance. He court ed his wife teven years before he asked if he might kiss her. "Just as you pleate," she answered demurely. "Let us first ask a blessing," he said, after which he kissed her. "Why, it's good!"' he exclaimed. "Let us return thanks." They were married in a few weeks. That brings to my mind the saying of a young woman concerning a suitor whom she had rejected. In summing up his qualities she said: "He was good looking, he was educated, ho was devoted, he sent me flowers. I always thought I'd love a man who sent mo flowers but," she con cluded in a tone of disdain, "he hadn't sense enough to kiss mo when he had a chance!" Kate Kauffman in Jenness-Mil-ler Magazine.

Bowie, not James, conceived tho idea of tho knife. The invention was the result of an acci dent. Col. Eezin P. Bowio was a planter in Opelousas, La. "While hunting wild cattle he attacked a young steer, which in throwing up its head struck his hunt ing knifo in such a way as to knock it through his hand, making an ugly cut between the thumb and the forefinger. On returning from the hunt ho repaired to the blacksmith shop on Ids plantation, determined to have a knife which would be a protection against such accidents. Picking up an old file he ordered the blacksmith to make a knife of it having a cross piece betwixt hilt and blade, bo that it would be impossible to be entire ly driven through a man's hand. In this way did tho bowio knifo originate, and it was never intended for other than a hunting knife: but James Bowie im proved tho original weapon, and brought his own knife so prominently into notice by the use ho mado of it in personal en counters that the improved weapon be came known as the bowie knife. New York Ledger. Tho Oldest VosroI Afloat. The oldest sailing vessel afloat! "What must she look like and what is her history? She is 110 years old, built in Baltimore in 1780. Her name is the Vigilant. She has since then been a coaster, a peaceful common carrier of merchandise, a slaver and a pirate, and now today she doc3 good service as mail carrier between St. Thomas and Santa Cruz, in the "West India Islands. Her owner, Mr. S. Penthany, of Santo Cruz, was in Bangor and displayed a picture of tho old craft which was taken as the vessel was rounding a coral reef under full sail. The picture is a good one and the lines of the craft are well brought out. "How much of the original craft is there now?" asked the reporter. "The keelson and main tributors of the hull which are laid in the construc tion of her are still there," said Mr. Pen thany, "and they are good for many years to come." 9 "What a story would tho history of this old craft make! Bangex News. An Illuminated Fountain. The apparatus employed in the electric fountain in Lincoln park, Chicago, is qmto simple. A number of arc lamps with horizontal carbons and each provid ed with a parabolic reflector are located in a vault or cavern beneath the fountain pool.

By means of colored glass slides interposed between the lamp and the lower open ings in the spouts a great variety of beau tiful combination effects are Eecured. "Western Electrician.

"Yfcs, rm a doctor now," said a bird fancier to a reporter, as he dropped a capsule into the open month of ahull dog: ho had "between his knees. "Yes, sir," he continued, patting the dog, "I'm a real doctor now; that is, as far as dogs and birds go. Can I cure them if tey are sick! Well, you just try me. Xever lost a patient yet, and some of my cures are marvelous. Does it pay? Well, I'just reckon it does. Do you soe that bull dog? His iiver is out of order, and it will take just three days to cure him. At $1 a visit and one visit a day that makes $3 not bad for curing dog's diseased liver, eh?" "Is $1 your regular fee?" returned the Ecribq, taking a seat on a bos of dog biscuits. "That's my vi siting fee. Of course, if I take the dog hero with me the owner has to y)ay board for it. "Surgical operatiouB? Bless your soul, wo have plenty of that sort of work. It was only-Monday that I amputated a dog's tail. But that's nothing; wo cut tails off every day or so. It's a society fad,jou know, to have dogs with short tails. Then we clip terriers' ears, but thero'6 not much skill in that. You would laugh if you could see some of the ladies who bring dogs hero to have their tails cuL They go'on terrible, and if tho purp happens to yell, which, of course, it does, thuy stop np their ears and run away." ONE OF MANY CASES. "Do you allow people to see you at work?" "No, not generally; but when these fine ladies (mo down nothing will do but they must see everything. Whitt! here comes one now. Just listen. "Good morning, Mrs. H. How's your aog today?" "Oh, doctor, Toodles is awfull Didn't Bleep all night and forsook his milk and bread this morning. Please see what you can do for him!" The dog was passed over. It was a fat pug so fat, in fact, that it could hardly walk. Yet it carried its pedigreed tail in thoroughbred style from without a velvet coat which encircled the dog's body and was fastened underneath with tiny pink bows. Tho dog doctor pqueezedhe pup's throat and out came his tongue. "Tho dog's bilious," said tho doctor, with a knowing wink. "You've been feeding him on candy." "Just a tiny bit, doctor. Oh! say he'll get well!" Tlio doctor looked thoughtful a mo ment and continued: "Yes, I can cure him, but if he gets over this tako my advice and don't give him any more sweets." "I'll never do it again, doctor. Will I, Toodles?" appealing to the dog. "Then tako this bos of capsules and (give him one three times a day. Wait, Fll give him one now, and you can see how I do it." Taking tho dog between his legs the doctor pressed his lenees about its neck j and opened its mouth. Then tailing a capsule in his mouth ho dropped it down the dog's throat, way out of bight. "I can never do that in tho world, doctor," said the lady despa'jringly. "Can't you do it in any other wa3r?" "You might put it in a piece of meat, Iut my way is the best." 'Til try the meat way first. How much, doctor?" "Ono dollar, pleaso, and twenty-five cents for the medicine." "My! how reasonable you are. Our family doctor charges mo $3 each visit and tho medicine always costs about $1.' So handing tho fee over she departed with Toodles in her arms. HOW TO FEI- D DOGS. "They aro tho people we make a living off of," said tho doctor as soon as she was out of sight "Sho overfeeds her dog in tho first place and stuffs him with cake and candy. A bull dog couldn't stand such treatment. The result is tho dog gets sick. Can you bl.uno him? You'd get sick yourself. And if ho isn't treated at once ho dies. Dogs should bo fed but twice a day a light breakfast and a hearty dinner. "Puppies should not be fed oftener, Irat in either cane never overfed. It not only makes tLo dog lazy but sick. Meat ehcmld never be given to puppies. It givos them distemper. A largo bono now and then, however, is beneficial, as it aids toothing, and when broken up and stcallowed aids digestion. Some people think a good plateful of meat is all a dog requires. Wrong again. Show mo a dog brought up on meat and I'll venruro to say he is worthless. "Tho proper thing to feed a dog with is what you call dog cakes. They aro simply tho wasto meat chopped up with eonie cornmeal and well done vegetables and baked. What kind of patients do dogs make?' queried tho reporter, t "Best in the world," rejoined the doc tor. "It is really a pleasure to physic a dog. Yon know they can't say anything, oven if they do growl a little. "No, I never was bitten by a sick dog. They seem to know that I am doing all I can to mako them well, and I think ap preciate it." "Tliat was an oxcellont method of giv ing pills I noticed a few moments ago. but how do you manuge when the medi cine is in liquid form?" "Nothing easier in tho world," an swered the doctor, removing a splinter from a setter's broken leg. "Tako the dog between your legs and forco ifc mouth open by pressing the finger and thumb on either wdo of the throat. Then hold out one corner of tho mouth and pour the medicine in there. It makes a natural funnel. Of course the dog's head must be held aloft to keep the medicine from spilling. In case the dog is vicious put a muzzle on him and proceed the same." Washington Star.

ITS HERMIT TENANT OP TODAY. Alfred de Rodt, a Swiss Nobleman, Re producing the Experience of Alexander Selkirk Tragedy and Komnnco of tho Spot Immortalized by Defoe. Copyright by American Press Association. In the south Pacific. 400 miles off the Chilian coast, lies the little rocky island of Juan Fernandez, where romance and tragedy, those deities usually more fond of effete lands, have worked their pict uresque and fateful ends, and kept the eyes of the world fixed upon this insignifi- nn IUX TO THE SHOP.E. cant spot. This is the historic island which Alexander Selkirk trod "monarch of all he surveyed," the island which afforded the color locale of the immortal "Life and Ad ventures of Robinson Crusoe," tho island which has attracted and now keeps as will ing prisoner a restless Swiss nobleman, Alfred de Rodt, and it is the spot of earth which, almost alone, seems absolutely to resist the domination of man. In the nature of things, since on Juan Fernandez no flourishing colony has ever token root and no event of benefit cither i precept or practice has transpired, one would have expected interest in the island itself to havo grown fitful and cold. Yet people, with or without reason, havo taken a quite different view of it. No traveler ever visits Valparaiso without looking out eagerly for the Robinson Crusoo island, aifrl when shipping hound from Chili round Cape Horn or from California, as well as vessels sailing between Chili and Australia, ceased to break their voyage theie loud and wide spread was tho disap pointment expressed by passengers and sailors alike. History touches Juan Fernandez at arm's length. Its discovery may reasonably be associated with the exploratory period of the Pacific. Who was tho first Spanish or the first English navigator to set foot there is not positively known, but it is generally accepted that about 1503 a Spanish pilot named Juan Fernandez visited and gave his name to tho island. Uon him the fer tile vullojs and delightful climate made so deep an impiession that ho obtained from the Spanish government a grant of tho island and stocked it with goats and pigs, meaning, no doubt, to make there a home for his old age. Ho never carried out this plan, however, and tho island soon reduced to its own state of wildness the animals he had brought. Previous to that time no quad ruped had lived there. It is to Juan Fer nandez, therefore, rather than to his own exertions (although both he and his biog rapher, Defoe, have made much of them) that Alexander Selkirk owed his ability to live there. At the time of his landing on the island the ii regular surface and the mountains one of which, El Yunque, rise3 3,000 feet above the sea were overrun with the descendants of Juan Fernandez' live stock. So we come io Robinson Crusoe, the king of the island. His story caunot bo told too often. The book of his life will never die, but its perpetuity depends more on the innate curiosity mankind has for strange modes of life than on it. s-:mp direct and absolutely admirable style. Alexander Selkirk, a native of the fish ing village Largo, in Fifeshire, Scotland, sailed in September, 1704, as sailing master of the ship St. George, commanded by Thomas Stradling, on a voyage to the coast of America. There is little doubt in the minds of even the kindest historians that this wa, a buccaneering voyage. That was a buccaneering age. Tho ship put in the b3y now called Cum berland bay, on the northeast side of the island, for fresh water. Juan Fernandez, it should be stated, was a favorite resort of tho Pacific freebooter and known to all initiates. While on shore Selkirk and his captain quarreled. They were only restrained from exchanging blows by the fear of the mutiny their example might precipitate, but Selkirk, whose disposition seemed to bo to harbor malice, decided to abandon the ship and remain on the island alone. Resolution failed him, however, when ho saw the ship about to put to ten; he ran to the shore and pleaded to bo taken on board, but the captain hardened his heart and sailed away, leaving Selkirk alone on the island. He had his clothes and bedding, a gun, a small quantity of powder and ball, a Wa&& 'iga--fe n it-i'i VA rcV Cs-T' w&KSf u t- skxKK- i THE SEA ROSE. hatchet, knife and Settle and his Bible. Plenty of tho necessaries of life wsro all ahout him, and considering what was is his mind for Selkirk confidently expected to be taken off by the nxt buccaneer- his situation was not so deplorable nor he him self such a hero as Daniel Defoe has made him. Yet, unknown to himself, he was doomed o live there, with no society but cats and the kids he tamed for four years and four months. The tide of buccanornng had sought another -a, and the Spanish gov eminent was taking ssrere mea-ures to re stram its flow around their possessions. One 3np onlr in all these year arrived ia port, -ad that a Spaniard.

He immediately lighted a signal fire and waa taken on board of one, the Duke, a pri vateer from Bristol, the pilot of which recognized in Selkinc an old friend. Other wise they might have returned to England without finding out who the castaway was, for Selkirk's tongue, by long disuse of conversation, had thickened to mere gibberish. On bis return to his native village he en joyed greatly for a few days tha society of his friends and relatives. But it was for only a few days. Those long and solitary months on Juan Fernandez had left a last ing impress on his character. He was hap piest alone. So in the upper part of the garden atta'.ed to his father's house he formed a kind of ca e, or grotto, and there he sat in solitude gazing out upon the beautiful bay of Largo, or wandered through a secluded valley called the Kiel's den. After a few years the desire for the sea again took possession of him, and he died a lieutenant on board H. M. S. Wey mouth some time in the year 1723. The island had again resumed its wonted quiet, the only footfall that of the clam bering goat the only sound that of the falling tree, lofty and primeval, or the hor rid rumble of the earthquake. No human being came there until 1750, when the Span ish government established a colony con sisting of thirty-five families and a small garrison, hut the settlement had hardly been established when it was destroyed by an earthquake. The sea rose and over whelmed tho houses; the governor and his family while at dinner were washed away by the waves, and only a few survivors, by clambering to the highest places, saved themselves to relate the melancholy tale. These events had given Juan Fernandez a bad name, and when it became the prop erty of Chili that government took ad vantage of it to create there a penal settle ment for political offenders. It had al ready been used as suoh by Spain, and Chili appropriated it to the same purpose during the war of independence, which listed from the year 1811 to 1S18. After the Chilian republic was established an effort was made to colonize the island, but its tragic fate was not yet worked out. The small penitentiary that remained was al most totally destroyed by an earthquake in 1S35. and the Chilian government, after making another vain attempt to colonize the island, gave up and withdrew the gar rison. Thus Juan Fernandez had shaken off with the same cose castaway, colonist and criminal. Nevertheless its fascination spread across the vast leagues of water and drew thither other colonists, other lovers of solitude. A ,o THERE HE WILL RE1LA.IX. century earlier a Spanish pilot had fixed on this spot as the home for one man, and there were not wanting individuals who shared his belief that one person could live there and cultivate the island without as sistance There came an adventurer from the United States who rented the island from Chili and made the unsuccessful ex periment. And again in 1877, when the government of Chili offered to rent the island to tho liighest bidder, he was found in a Swiss of noble family, Alfred de Rodt, who had fought on tho side of the Au&trians in the war of 1866 and on the French side in tho Franco Prussian struggle, and who after a life of trouble thought to find a place of content ment in this Robinson Crusoe Island and rest there till his death. Into the enter prise he put all his fortune, fuily $50,000, brought a few colonists with him, and yet he has failed; his money has vanished, his colonists departed, and he is a physical wreck, nis term of lease expired in 1885, but he cannot resist the spell and fascina tion of the island. Thero he will remain till he dies. And all the while the beautiful grass grown and forested island smiles in the southern sun, produces fruits and cereals in abundance, and will lure to her breast another colony or another hermit. As fair and smiling it looks today from the point on the hill road called Selkirk's lookout as it did in Robinson Crusoe's day. A few years ago tho officers of a British ship erected a tablet to Selkirk's memory at this point, just where in a gap in the trap rock a magnificent view of the whole island can be had and of the sea north and south, over which the exile must often hae watched with dilated ej es for an approaching sail. Willis Steell. Iiirely Times for Dallas Police. The police of Dallas, Tex., had a lively time recently.

Some important experiments were car ried out at tho artillery range of Sir W. G. Armstrong, Mitchell Co. The principal object Df trial was a 6ix inch quick firing gun af 40 calibers of length on a mounting of new design, specially arranged to bo suitable for either the upper decks or the between deck bat teries of our new cruisers. Another feature of this trial was the use of cord ite, tho new smokeless gunpowder, which has been tho subject of extensive trial during the last twelve months and seems likely to make a complete revolu tion in artillery warfare. The proof of this gun was carried out by tho Wool wich authorities at Siiloth, when the remarkable velocity of 2,669 f. s. was obtained with a charge of cordite pow der. The programme began by firing five rounds with a charge of E X E powder and service projectile for rapidity. Tho total time of firing these five rounds was sixty-one seconds. The same eaperimeut was then carried out with a chargo of cordite, but after threo rounds the firing was stopped for a few minutes to remove a burr in the threads of the breech ac tion, caused by sand getting into tho gun. The first three rounds of thi3 series were fired in twenty-four seconds, and the second two in fifteen seconds. Five rounds were then fired with EXE powder (non-smokeless) and service pro jectile at a target which consisted of two casks lashed together with a flag above them, at 900 yards range. There being no wind the smoke hung a great deal, and tho firing was there foie directed by an observer who stood clear of the smoke. The five rounds were fired in sixrv-one seconds, the tar get being struck twice, the other three shots just missing. To show the advantage of cordite over the EXE powder five rounds were then fired with the former at the same target, the flag and siaff of which still remained upright, as the tide bring low the target rested on sand. It was found quite feas ible to fire -with the utmost rapidity, and yet, on account of tho smokeless quality of the powder, to aim each shot deliber ately. The result wa-; that out of the five shots the target was actually struck four times (which completely destroyed the casks and perforated the flag several times), and the last shot was only five 3arJs short; and these five rounds with the above remarkable accuracy were got off in tho supnsmgly short tjme of fifty five seconds. Five rounds with E X E were now fired, changing from one target to an other, three targets being placed at ranges f.00, 1,400 and 1,600 yards, and spread out so that the gun had to b traversed through a considerable arc of training in going frojn one to the other. The results were as follows: 1, 900 yards, hit target; 2, 900 yards, hit target; 3, 1,400 yards, fifty yards over; 4, 1,400 j-ards, hit target; 5, 1,600 yards, hit tar get, cutting flagstaff. The total time of these five rounds was 3 minutes and 43 seconds, but a few seconds' delay was occasioned by the cap of a cartridge case, which was only temporarily secured for these experiments, falling off in the gun during loading, which necessitated re loading. Five rounds of cordite, under similar conditions to the last series, were now fired at the 900 and 1,400 yards tar gets, the 1,800 yards one being no longer visible. The results were as follows: 1, 900 yards, hit target; 2, 900 yards, hit target, cutting flagstaff; 3, 1.400 yards, ten yards over; 4, 1,400 yards", five yards over; 5, 1,400 yarfis, twenty yards over. The total time for thtse five rounds was 1 minute 37 seconds. The gun was then fired with 5 degs., 10 dogs., 12 degs., 15 degs. and 20 dega. elevation, with charges of E X E and cordite, to tat the mounting, and except for a little difficulty in running out when at 20 dega. elevation everything went perfectly.
