Best dog I ever shot over, unless ‘twas your old Bingo. By the way, you don’t go out any more yourself. What's the reason. Bing getting old and lazy?” The small man opencd his penknife and thoughtfully scratched at a splash of mud on his trouser-leg. “No, I don't keep any dog now. Old Bing is dead.” “Dead, is he? Well, well, he was getting along in years. A general breaking down, I suppose.” There was a pause, and the little man scratched away industriously. “No, it wasn't that. I'll tell you about it,’’ said he suddenly. “You see, the last time I had him out we were on Smith’s farm. You know the place, just over the county line. You remember that big corn- field where the willows grow over the creek and the railroad cuts through one corner? Well, we were down there, and Bing, being thirsty, ran across the track, in among the willows, to get to the water. I thought there might be birds there, and I was too far behind for a shot, so I called him back. Just then a bird got up beyond him, and I shouted to him to charge. “You know I don’t see very well, but I thought that he wasn’t minding, so I shouted again. The old fellow hesi- tated for a moment, then he dropped down, and just then the train came around the curve and—and”— The small man’s voice faltered a little when he went on. “You see I thought that he was farther away, but he was right on the track, and he had obeyed me at the cost of his life. Some- how I haven't cared much for hunt- ing since then.” The little man shut his knife with a snap and looked out of the window, and the big man exclaimed, “Well, well, by Jove! Poor old Bing!’ Then the big man blew his nose violently, muttering that that was the only way to dislodge those cursed cinders, while the little man wiped his glasses upon a chamois-skin polisher and sighed. Chicago Herald. A Reifer Adopts a Young Caribou. Some weeks ago a son of J. Francis, of Moro, saw what he supposed was a big rabbit with a heifer in the field. The cattle was pastured in a back lot near the woods. The boy, as he ap- i, saw that it was not a rabbit. He easi caught the animal, which proved to be a young earibou, and car- ried it home in his arms. It was ap- parently a day old, and was weak and staggering. A nursing bottle was se- cured, and the little caribou was fed on milk. Very soon it followed the boy about the room. It was allowed to nurse from a cow for some weeks, till it grew so boisterous, butting and striking its foster mother with its feet. that the farmer feared the cow might injure it, and now feeds it with milk by hand three times a day. All this time it has evinced a fondness for its first foster mother, the heifer. The little fellow is flourishing, to all ap- pearances. It is very tame, and de- lights to be led into the woods, where it will run and play. But at the slight- est unusual noise it will immediately scamper home. It is a buck, and its horns are just coming through.—Port- land Argus. Where Romeo Counts the Stripes, — A peculiar custom obtains in Brit- tany whereby a marriageable young man can easily ascertain the dowry which attaches to any young lady. On certain fete days the young ladies ap- pear in red petticoats with white and yellow borders round them. The num- per of borders denotes the portion the father is willing to give his daughter. Each white band represent silver, and denotes 100 francs per annum, while each yellow band denotes gold, and betokens 1,000 francs a year. Thus a young man who sees a_ face that pleases him has but to glance at the trimmings of the petticoat, and, with- out any bashful or suspicious inquiry, he can learn what amount of money accompanies the wearer. | HE OFFENDED THE CZAR. And the Punishment He Recelved was a Terrible One. Frogere, an actor at one of the minor theatres of the boulevard of Paris, had entered into an agreement with the manager of the French theatre at St. Petersburg, where he had the good for- tune so greatly to please Paul I. that he sdon became a distinguished favor- ite of the monarch, recounts a writer in the Boston Globe. It was at the imperial dinner table when one of the guests lauded the Emperor at the expense of Peter the Great. “That is robbing Peter to pay Paul,” said the Emperor, turning to his favor- ite; “is it not so, Frogere?” ‘ “Certainly, sir,” answered the latter, “To satisfy Paul we may rob not only Peter the Great, but also Peter the Apostle.” “And, pray, why so?” asked the Czar, quickly. “Because,” said the actor, “Paul in his anger has frequently commanded, ‘Go and bear the cross throughout the world, more especially in Siberia.’” It was in the middle of winter, ubout midnight, when Frogere was aroused from his sleep by a loud knocking at his door. He jumped from his bed. opened the door, and saw to his amazement an officer and a file of sol- diers enter the apartment. The former produced a warrant from the Emperor banishing Frogere to Si- beria. He cried, threw himself upon the floor, tore his hair and exclaimed: “What crime have I committed to de- serve such punishment?” He received no answer. He begged for a few hours’ delay. In vain; the officer would allow him only time to pack up a few clothes and linen. Scarcely was the operation finished when he was surrounded by the sol- diers and carried outside the house, where a coach was in waiting. He was then lifted into it—more dead than alive—while two soldiers, with drawn swords and cocked pistols, took their seats on each side of him. How long the first stage lasted Frogere was unable to tell, the vehicle was so thick- ly covered that not the least ray of light could penetrate. The door of the coach was at last opened—it was broad daylight. His eyes, however, were bandaged, and he was led into a miserable hut, the doors and windows of which were closed as soon as he entered. The officer dismissed his guide and ordered the soldiers to leave the room and wait outside. Being alone with the prisoner he said, almost in a whis- per: “Frogere, we must now part. I have accompanied you the first stage, and you will hence be under the in- spection of another officer. Be careful not to speak a word. I risk much even in giving this caution; but I am your friend.” Poor Frogere melted into tears. In- stead of replying to the question he only bewailed having to undergo 4 punishment for an unknown crime. “An unknown crime?” said the off- cer. “Don’t you, then, know what you have done? Have you forgotten the sarcastic jest you made at the imperial table? It has offended the Emperor; you are punished because there was so much truth in it. You have noth- ing to hope. ‘Tell me, then, quickly what I can do for you.” “If that be the case,” said poor Fro- gere, “I have nothing to ask.” “And your money d trinkets,” re- joined the officer. “@an I lodge them safely for you somewhere until you return?” “My return?” gasped Frogere; “then I am not exiled for life?” “Of course not—only for three years. Take courage; they will soon pass away—and then’— But at this moment the soldiers en- tered, and, bandaging his eyes, they lifted him into the vehjcle, and away it rolled again. By Frogere’s estimate, as well as he could tell, he had travelled three days and nights. His eyes were bandaged as before, but instead of being led his guides seized him and carried him for some time, until they placed him upon a wooden bench. At last he heard soft whisperings, and then quick steps approaching. His hands were suddenly seized and tied behind his back. In another moment his coat was torn off his shoulders and his breast laid bare. Frogere now thought eternity instead of Siberia was to be the goal of his journey. “Take aim!” was the command of one whose voice he thought he knew— “Fire!” and several shots were at once discharged. Frogere fell senseless to the ground. He was raised, unwound- ed, and while he was borne along he became sensible of a division of sol- diers marching past him. Having been placed upon a chair, his hands were unbound and the bandage removed. He then found himself in the same room, at the same table, and in the same company, where that unhappy bon-mot had escaped him. Opposite to him sat the Emperor. The astonishment, terror and doubt alternately reflected in the poor actor’s face so greatly excited the risible facul- ties of Paul that the entire company joined heartily in the mirth. Frogere fell in a swoon. The whole terrible trip had only last- ed twenty-four hours. The Emperor had accompanied him in disguise all the time, and found immense delight in the prisoner’s painful sufferings. Though used to comedies, it was long before the actor recovered from the sad dreams of the imperial farce. Pepper and Birds. An eminent Prussian ornithologist, who has beep making experiments, states that cayenne pepper in the food of canary birds will slowly change their color from yellow to red, but that the pepper defrauded of its irritating and oily principle has no effect. The subsequent addition of olive oil re- stores the vehicle necessary to color. Wholly white hens were colored by the pepper food. These hens lay eggs with a very bright red yolk, and them- selves possess the remarkable prop- erty of foreshadowing a change in the temperature by a decided change of tint. When fed with alkanet root the birds become violet-red in color. Sealing Wax As a Hardener, Engravers in Germany harden theiz tools in sealing wax. The tool is heat ed to whiteness and plunged into th¢ wax, withdrawn after an instant, ang plunged in again, the process being repeated until the steel is too cold te enter the wax. The steel is said te become after this process almost as hard as the diamond, and whea touched with a little oil of turpentine the toole are excellent for engraving. nrsestine th EEE EE aE — THE ORIGINA?: OLD LINE — Quaker Co.
