A CHAPTE? ON DOGS.
flow to Care for to —Early Education
Beneficial.
If every dog in the world were killed
it would throw a large credit to the fa.-
vorable side of the world’s finances, so
far as dollars and cents are concerned.
The feed of dogs, their taxes, and
finally their depredations, foot up a
large amount. Still the world does not
live for dollars and cents. And how
manya child would mourn its amus—
ing pet, how many a lock and house-
hold miss a. faithful friend and de-
fender! Burglars, foxes, vermin gen-
erallywould rejoice at canine extinc-
tion. But men who have been pulled
by dogs from Alpine snowdrifts, res-
cued from drowning, delivered from
infuriated bulls or from the burglar’s
pistol, are not going to vote against
the dog. N 0 dog should be trusted to
run loose at night unless the owner is
absolutely sure that it will not leave
his premises, or bite an inoffensive
stranger. This is so hard to determine
that it is safest that every dog should
be tied, during the night at least. This
rule would decrease the , ravages in
flocks of sheep wonderfully, as such
butchery is generally done at night.
If every dog runnnig loose. at night
could be shot with impunity, it would
be an excellent law, in sheep-growing
districts at least.
If you own a good dog, do not kick
him outdoors when you go to bed and
tell him to shift for himself. ' He can-
not be expected to remain a good dog
long. Get a tight, large dry goods box,
cut a. circular hole just big enough for
the dog to pass through, in one side of
the box near the end, ~Nail aloose flap
of carpet above the hole to keep out
the _wind. Put on a sloping roof of
matched boards and set the house in
an Open shed on the south side of a
building. A dog with such a residence,
although it is cheap, will learn self
respect. Now get several rods of heavy
wire and fasten it near the dog’s house.
a little higher than your head: so it
will'not be an obstacle, and carry it
out to a tall post and fasten it taut,
about six feet high. String the ring of
the dog’s chain on it before fastening
it. It is then but a. second’s work to
snap or unsnap the chain from the
dog’s collar. The animal can have a
fine run out to the post and back, in-
suring health and cleanliness, and the
way he will make the chain jingle
along that wire will make you‘ admire
the contrivance. Give the dog an oc-
casional bathwith flea. soap, or a rub-
bing with bagging. Insect powder,
also, will kill fleas if dusted dry into
the hair. A dog‘s food should be va-
ried, with not too much meat, though
a bone is always a boon to him; table
scraps, johnnycake made of meal and
fine middling-s, with a little bone meal
in it and dried beet root; stale bread
from the baker’s will piece out the
dog’s menu. Remember, also, that
pure water is as important as food.
For all purposes of the former the
Scotch collie is the choice dog. He will
not only drive stock by instinct, but is
a good watcher, fond of children, and
often a game hunter of vermin, squir-
rels, etc. Terriers—Scotch, Irish, fox,
bull and other sorts—are valuable ani-
mals, not only for hunting rats, but as
house dogs to detect robbers they are
unequaled. They are a generally safe
and a gamey, amusing pet. Fox hounds
render an excellent service to poultry
raisers; but setters, pointers and such
pets of hunters cannot be trusted
around poultry. They are better kept
on the chain, being often snappy in.
disposition. Beware of Spitz dogs and
degenerate Newfoundlands, as they are
prone to bite, and seem especially lia<
ble to hydrophobia. A pure Newfound-
land makes a noble protector, especial-
ly for children when near the water.
A thoroughbred St. Bernard is the no
blest and safest of canine companions,
but they are too highepriced for the
average farmer.
If possible, get a. dog in his youth,
and train him up in the way he should
go. Old dogs will not attend school, or
at least will ignore their lessons. When
training a young dog, do it all alone by
yourself, so nothing will distract him;
let him know you are in earnest, enlist
his goodwill, reward him when he does
well, and do not weary him with a long
lesson, and you will succeed—C. H.
Crandall, in Country Gentleman.
THE SHAH’S HIGHWAY.
A “'ord Picture of tic—Emanuel of Approach
to a Great Capital.
The Shah’s highway, considered as
an agreeable promenade, or merely as
a necessary avenue of approach to a
great capital, cannot be considered as
a. shining success. Straight away in
front of us, as far as the eye can reach,
it stretches over a level plain, and up a
slight rise, bounded on one side by the
arrow-straight line of iron telegraph
poles. The sky is slightly overcast; a
fierce wind blows in our faces, bringing
dense clouds of dust, which rise at
times to a great height in the distance,
often taking the form of waterspouis
or of towering columns of smoke; once
enveloped in one of these traveling
dust storms, there is nothing to do but
to hold our heads down. and with eyes
tightly shut ride through it, emerging
on the other side white-bearded and
powdered like millers. Sometimes we
try to avoid these encounters by riding
,over the rough and broken ground on
one side. There are many wrecks by
the way of what were once stout ships
of the desert, 'as well as the last rem-
nants of horses, mules and donkeys,
lying where they gave up the struggle
for life. The only birds in this dream
landscape are the ravens, which hunt
in couples, and fly up from the road
croaking hoarsely as we- approach}
There is not even a hard bank of earth
or a. stone large enough to sit upon
when it is time for lunch, and one can
only styuat ignominiously in the dust.

CHICAGO, J an. 18,—Apart from the politi-

to invite proposals for the purchase of

BORDEAUX, Jan. 18.--The French steamer
Equateur, Captain Moreau, from Rio Ja-

Yesterday afternoon. After the customary
sojourn for custom house formalities she‘
proceeded in company with the tenders
upon which the passengers and mails had
been transferred, As she steamed slowly
“P the river the officers entered the safe
room with the object of removing valua-
~ 1’19 POStal parcels, when a violent explo-
sion occurred shaking the vessel through-
out. The safe room, adjacent cook’s gal-
ley and steward’s cabin were all shattered. ,
The galley bulkheads and thick iron
plates of the lower deck Were bent and
broken. ,
Two sailors were killed outright, one
had his face shattered so badly he cannot
mm, and another was less seriously in-
jured. -
The'plate glass in the port holes for a
long distance from the saferoom was atom-
ized. The commissary of the port of
Bordeaux opened an inquiry. The con-
census of opinion is that dynamite e-x-
ploded the moment one of the men killed
lifted a package of ostrich feathers, quan-
tities of which Were scattered in the vicin-
ity and other packages rent open. The
wrecked galley was nearly hidden by
ostrich plumes.
DYNAMITERS AT LANCASTER, PA.
A Heavily Loaded Bomb Found
‘ Against. the Police Station.'
LANCASTER, Pa, J an. 18.——-Great excite-
ment prevails here over the discovery yes—
terday of a. dynamite bomb which had
been placed against a four-story building
adjoining the police station. The bomb
contained half a pound of dynamite, en-
cased in lead pipe carefully closed, with
nitro-glycerine caps and fuse. The latter
had been lighted but for some reason had .
failed to burn. There is no clue to the
dynamiters, whose object in trying to
blow up the building is unknown.
Dynamite to Intimidatc Him.
SALEM, 0., J an. lS.-—'\Vhen John Evans,
one of the leading coal men of this sec—
tion, came to his office in this city yester-
day he found a bomb lyiug‘ against the

two inches in, diameter and ten inches
long, with a charred fuse running
through ascrew plug, was loaded with
dynamite and blasting powder. Evans,
with other operators, has been having
trouble with miners over the question of
wages, and the only explanation of the
bomb business is that some of the miners
sought, by wrecking his building, to in-
timidate him.
