A Dog With a Conscience.
A THrE STORY.
Laddie was a Scotch collie. He lived on
a large, 'beautiful green milk farm ; and hi3
business was to take the cows to and fro,
through the ahady lanes from the bsrn to
the pnsture, and from the pasture home
.gin at sunset. Laddie lilted this -work,
toad he did it as well as any man could. lie
seemed to know every cow by name. If he
were tn.d to take Buttercup to her stall, be
would go . arming- the cows and tingle out
Buttercup and drive her to her own piece in
the barn.
Ia was beca.use Laddie was so bright and
capable about everything he tried to do
that one day the idea cams into his min.
tress'e head that he could learn to do the
churning.
ISO she had a large wheel made, with a
broad tire ; and 'this wheel was attached to
the churn. At the end of a week Laddie
had learned his part. When the churning
wa3 to be done, he was called, and was ex•
pected to jump up on his wheel, after which
a strap was fastened to his 'collar to keep
him there' and his duty then was to tread
the broadtire els if walking. His steps
caused the wheel to turn the crank of the
churn. At thia task he had to labor until
the cream was changed into butter.
Laddie learned to do this duty very well,
but he neverlearned to like to do it. It
was dull business to waitron one spot and
never get anywhere. is head and tail
alwaye went down when he was called to
"Come and churn !" Ace in a while he
would hide away on churning morning.
One day Laddie came into ithe house,
looking very downcast and guilt.'. It was
not churning morning; but be went into
the milk room.where' the churning won al-
ways done, mounted the wheel and began to1
work with all his might.
His mistress wondered at this, and finally
!
discovered that Laddie had killed a hen. I
seemed very clear that he bought be ought
to be punished in some way, -and so he took;

' Mark Your Baggage.
" Mark all your baggage," that is the in-
junction to every man in any way connect-
ed with the baggage department of all rail-
roads. It means so little to the passenger,
and yet its fulfillment wonld relieve much
care on the part of the little army of men
who toil hard from one end of the day to
the other, and in hundreds of instances as-
sist very materially in facilitating mattera
when it comes to making close connections,
as is often the case in these days of rail-
roading.
A man who has made the handling of bag-
gage a study says:
Why id it so many people do not have
some' initial, name, or other identifying
mark on theietrunke and valises? Simply
because they have the greateat of faith in
the railway baggage men. That is si com-
pliment, but if they had any idea how great-
ly this would assist us in preventing baggage
going astray they might all poasibly be in
dueed to have some merk on their baggage.
Telescopes, dress Suit oases, and trunks in
these_days nearly all look alike to the bag-
gage clerks and handlers, and, it may be
said, also to the owners. Hundreds of in-
stancee could be cited of where two and
often as many as five persons claimed the
frame piece of baggage befere the checks
were put on. This generally results in a
searching through the boxes, whcoh is an
annoying procedure to the men as well aa o
the passenger. My advice ie : Mark yo ir
baggage."

When Women Become Strong.
There are startling examples ot the d
velopment Of the capacity in women f r
doing men's work. When families thr t
have been strong and prospered get star
ed down hill and the men die off or go to
seed or loee heart or health, it is not a
uncommon thing to see the women develop
under etress of circumstances a vtri e
vigor that meets the storm and weathe s
it.
Very able women are developed by d
fects in man, and, of course, when t e
wheel has once fallen to them and the r
wills have been trained to steering thiy
will not readily give up a place that tlity
have fairly won. Nor should they. T e
mischief, what there is of it, has be n
done; let the 'consequences abide. T e
chief mischief Is that, though a wom n
may como out strong in doing a man s
work, the man whose work is done f r
him, if there is one, is apt to come o t
weak. .
The White Pine.
According to Professor Spalding, t e
white pine tree seldom attains a heig
greater than 160 feet or a diameter f
more than 40 inches. A tree of this v
riety once measured by the division f
forestryof the department of agricultu
was 170 feet tall and 48 inches thic .
The tree was 460 years old. It was a
little sapling 50 years before Columbes
sailed from Palos.
It is' not an easy tree to propagate, no
many of the seeds being untertile. Xt
does not, as a rule, produce flowers aaid
cones until it is 13 or 20 years old. Dur-
ing the first decade of its life it will grow
about one foot every 12 months, and it
grows a little faster till maturity. A.
tree- 20 years old ought to be about l35
feet high, and at 30 or 40 years the age it
ought to measure about CO feet.
Can't Down Him.
"Somehow," she said, "1 never can see
you without thinking of truth." •
"Is that so?" he asked, being a fellow
who was always doing something origi-
nal.
"Yes. Truth crushed to earth will rise
again, you know."
"But what has that got to do with
me?"
"Well, you've been thrown down by
nearly every girl in this town, but I see
that von continue to come up smiling."

in salt the craft come alongside laden to
the gunwale. . A. sheet of canoe.' is then
put down from the ship's holt to the
small craft alongside, and the n en, with
their special wooden shovels, sta t throw-
ing up salt. Naturally a ship f 300 to
4110 tone in ballast is very high o t of the
water, and to see the men at wo le would ,
give one the impression that s much
salt falls back as is being thr wn up.
Nevertheless the ship is laden is ansin-

notwithstanding this primitive and ap-
parently abetted process of loading. •

A Structural Worker's Y rn.
But hear the iron men and t eir own
stories. A group of thein sat one night
in my presence and spun yarns.
"Out on the Louisville brid e," said
John as he took a fresh puff of •is cigar,
"the false work suddenly gave ay. The
false work, you know" (to me "is the
temporary wood bracing we .w rk upon
while building. The MCJi below' ould see
it buckling; the fellers on top k•ew when
they started to work on it 10 the morning
that It wasn't safe. All at once, as I say,
it went. One of the fellers mad a jnmp
for the river. It was 200 feet own, but
he tried It. As he jumped he interlocked
his legs (he had on big, heav boots).
Those boots' weight carried h m down
straight. He struck the wate on his
feet and wasn't hurt at all. A ew days
later he was out walking, sli ped, fell
three feet and' broke a leg. Th t's true.
I knew the man."

they, "that we should eat yo out of

-To Sleep Like a Top.
To "sleep like a top" has p obably
very different origin to that drich ap-
pears. "Top" is thought to be a corrup-
tion of the French taupe, or mile. This
interpretation is far more in a cordance
with the idea usually conveye —that:of
a prolonged, undisturbed sleep like that
of a mole in winter rather than the
short, enduring so called "sleep 'of a top
