Vlcloua and Dangeron* Dog*.
There Is a fine opportunity now for
the city recorder to get in a 1500 fine
under the new vicious dog ordinance.
About 8 o’clook last evening, as H. D.
MoGalliard and wife were oo uiog by
the store of Ketelsen & Degetau, two
of those large, vioious and extremely
dangerous dogs sprang at them, and
but for the presence of mind of Mrs.
Galliard she would probably have had
an arm orushed or her throat out
by the beasts. As it was, she escaped
with considerable damage to her cloth-
ing, and was almost prostrated from
the shook to her nervous system. One
of these same dog-> disabled an arm of
one of the olerks In the store where
they belong a few dsys since, and
a few weeks ago oi> > of the skins b;
of dogs made a sp> ing at the throat of
a young lady walking along Fiorenoe
street.

Cleveland’# Mettsge.
Washington, Aug. 5—A cabinet
meeting was held this afternoon. It is
not known what transpired, but it is
thought President Cleveland read a

solely to the financial question.

Wendell Phillip*’ Power.
The writer heard Wendell Phillips
once on the nobility of the North Ameri-
can Indians, and while the spell of the
speech lasted he was almost ashamed of
himself for being white instead of cop-
per colored. One secret of the power of
Phillips with an audience was that he
was always definite, certain in his state-
ments and position. If he had privately
doubts about a course or a policy, he
never exhibited them when on the plat-
form. He very well knew that there is
nothing an audience likes so little in a
speaker as indecision and beating abont
the bush. There was no haziness in
what he said. His subject stood out be-
fore his hearers as clearly cut as a cameo.
—Charles Dudley Warner in Harper’s.
The Minister Agreed.
During the war an Ohio minister was
on his way south as an emissary of the
Christian commission, and he boarded
an Ohio river boat at Portsmouth. At
the first landing below, the mate “turned
loose" at the deckhands. He cursed
their eyes, their hearts, their lubbery
feet, their laziness, their whole line of
ancestry from Adam to that hour. Final-
ly, exhausted with profanity, he turned
to the shocked minister with the query:
“Don’t this beat hell?”
“Yes, sir. I’m afraid it does.” And
the good man retired to his cabin.—Cleve-
land Plain Dealer.
Experiments With Durable Wood*.
In some tests made with small squares
of various Woods buried one inch in the
ground, the following results were ob-
tained: Birch and aspon decayed in
tlrree years: willow and horse chestnut
in four years; maple and red beech in five
years; elm, ash, hornbeam and Lom-
bardy poplar in seven years; oak, Scotch
fir, Weymouth pine and silver fir decay-
ed to a depth of half an inch in seven
yearn; larch, juniper and arbor vitro
were uninjured at the expiration of the
seven years.—Chicago Times.

What I'lfoeBfel Discovered.
Little Teddy, who is most regular in
his attendance at the kindergarten, was
very much interested in the approaching
celebration of Froebel’s birthday. The
day before the event he came rushing
into the house crying, “Mamma, mamma,
I must have some flowers to take to kin-
dergarten tomorrow!” “Certainly, my
eon, but why do you want them?” “Why,
don’t you know? Tomorrow is the anni-
versary of the day that Froebel discov-
ered the first kindergarten!”—New York
Tribune.

Old Friend—Was your daughter's mar-

"I hope that loud giri won't go to our
ipicnic.”
"Why?”
“She’ll be almost sure to make it rain.”
—Detroit Tribune.

“Why do people nlways speak of the

THE BAGGAGE SMA5HER7 Th^Th*0 "p* **"*** V
Three Cheerful Llttlo Stories Recalled bjr
a Middle Aged Citl/en.
“I look ip vain in the literature of the
day,” said a middle aged man, “for sto-
ries of the baggage smasher, snch as
were current 80 or 40 years ago. which
used to interest me very much. Who
tliAt is old enough cannot recall the story
of the baggage master and “the circus
1 man’s snake? The circus man’s trunks,
in will be remembered, had been at one
time and another pretty roughly han-
dled, and so one day he got a rather
flimsy trunk and put in it a boa con-
strictor 22 feet long, and he marked on
the outside of the trunk: ‘Don’t break.*
Boa constrictor inside!’
“ ‘Oh, I’ve just been waiting for some-
body to ship a boa constrictor by this
line,’ said the baggage smasher, and he
grabbed the trunk by one of its handles,
intending to toss it over his head, but he
winked with such sudden energy that he
Trailed the handle off. Then he kicked
the trunk over the other end up and
grabbed it by 1 be other handle, lifted it
and dropped it and smashed it wide
open, and there was a snake in it, and
the snake came out and uncoiled him-
self. and when he coiled himself up
again ho was around the baggage mas-
ter, and—
“The baggage master never checked
any baggage after that.
“Another story told of the tribulations
of a traveler whose trunks had been
smashed, and how finally he filled a big
trunk with dynamite and marked it:
‘Handle with care! Dynamite!’
“ ‘Dynamite’— said the baggage mas-
ter, with fine scorn, and he pulled the
trunk down from the top of a high pile
and let it fall on one corner, and--
“He never returned.
“Then there was the story abont the
angered traveler who placed upon the
corners of his trunk patches of some ma-
terial so elastic and springy that if yon
dropped the trunk hard it bounded into
the air thousands of feet. This trunk
came to the station on the summit of a
great load of trunks, and the baggage
master seized it by the handle, braced
one foot against the load and pulled the
trunk off and let it fall upon one corner,
and-
“It never came back.
“And the owner sued and recovered
for the loss of his trunk.

“It might not be easy in a paragraph
conclusively to assign reasciis for the
decline of the trunk story. Certainly
the baggage master is as powerful as
ever, and surely lie cannot have lost in
the comparatively brief period of 30 or
40 years that fine sense of humor that
once prompted him playfully to drop a
trunk and break it wide open. It seems
more probable that he has shared with
the rest of mankind in that steadily ad-
vancing refinement of methods which
has marked our progress in recent years;
that he is not less humorous, but only
less boisterous than he was, and it may
be, too, that the fact that trunks gener-
ally are made stronger than they were
has had something to do with it.”—New
York Sun.
Compliment Intended.
An American is repdbached with say-
ing, “How do you do, miss?” to one of
the daughters of the Prince of Wales.
But why not since Mr. Gladstone always
addresses her majesty as “mum?” Of
another American an odd story is told of
his meeting with a deposed Italian prince-
ling:
A United States minister had, with
due form, presented this American to his
serene highness, the Duke of Bologna.
“Ah! glad to meet yon, sir,” said the
American. “I don't remember that 1
ever heard of you before, but I’ve long
had the greatest admiration for the sau-
sages you make in your town.’*—Youth’s

He XVas Not an Exception.
A Detroiter of a very mild and placid
temper had somo business attended to,
or pretended to be attended to, by a Cleve-
land firm, and do what ho could by let-
ter he could not get a settlement. Final-
ly he went thero in person and settled
the matter.
“It’s the worst I ever saw,” lie said in
parting.
“We’ve attended to a good many peo.
pie’s business,” argued the iiead of the
firm.
“But not as yon have minp.”
“Yes, quifo the same.”
“Oh, come off,” exclaimed the dis-
gusted Detroiter. “You can’t stuff that
down my taroat. If you had treated
very many people as yon have treated
me, you would have been killed long
before ever I heard of you,” and with
that hurst of anger he walked out per-
fectly satisfl°d.—Detroit F^ec Press.
