the dog into a tub of water nearly
cold, in which a handful of rock-salt

A precaution frequently disre-
garded by those who make pets of
dogs, without ‘ understanding much
about them is being careful about
theif meat. It should be as fresh
and free from taint as would be
served at your own table. The finer
the breed of dog the greater the im-
portance of this precaution. The
meat should be primmed carefully so
that no (.ark bloody portion will
taint it. Stick sulphur >placed in

Tricky Lions^! G
Some of the most dangerous tricks
of animals are those simulating kind-
ness. Charles Montague, in “Tales
of a Nomad.’.’ says that hyenas ofter^
follow lions and finish a carcass the
moment the liops have left it. Some-
times, however, the hyenas; are too
eager and steal bits of meat while
the lions are still at their meal.
I have been told that the lion rids
himself of the nuisance in the fol-
lowing way: G '
He throws a pieco of meat aside.
When the lion is looking the other
way the h/ena dodges itT and runs
off with the meat. Presently the
lion throws another piece of meat,
this time a littie nearer. ' The hyena
takes that also. At last the lion
throws a piece very near indeed.
The hyena, having become reckless,
makes a dash at this also; but, the
lion wheels around and lays him low
with a pat of his paw and a growl
Of annoyance.
I remember at the. Usutu on one
occasion hearing at night the cries
of a hyena in pain, mingled with an
occasional short growl from a lion.
This went on for about twenty min-
utes. The .next morning we found
the carcass of a hyena bitten across
the neck and marked by the claws
of lions. They had evidently caught
it and played with it some time be-
fore killing it. I suppose this was
done in revenge for the annoyance
they had sustained from the hyenas.

basis of division of all moneys ob- - 9
tained on their forgery paper, writes
Robert Pinkerton, the famous de-
tective, in the North American Re-
view. This division might be about
as follows': For a presenter, where
the amount to be drawn does not ex-
ceed $2,000, la to 2a per cent.; but
where the amount to be drawn is
from $3,000 to $a,f)00 and upward
the “presenter” receives from 35 to
45 per cent. The price, is raised as
the risk increases, and it is. gener-
ally considered a greater risk to at-
tempt to pass a check or draft of a
large (fehomination than a smaller
one. The middleman gets from 15
to 25 per cent. His work is more
and his responsibility is greater, but
the risk Is less. There are plenty of

If you should happen to get a'
smack of resin in your glass of beer,
as it is quite likely you may, don’t
imagine that the brewers are sub-
stituting pine shavings for malt and
hops to make the beer from. The
reason why you may detect a reeln 1
flavor is that this is the season when
the brewers pitch their kegs.
It may interest you to know beer
never: comes into pontact with
wood, either in the kegs in which it
is delivered or in the great vats in
which it is fermented. If it did, the . if|
wood would sour aDd spoil the beer.
The vats are protected on the inside IjgjB

The pitching of the kegs is an io~
teres ting process.^ When a keg is-
empty and the bung and vent plugs
are out, stick a lighted candle into* ‘
the bung and look into the venthole. f
You will think you are looking into
a glass barrel. Every part of the
inside glistens. The keg has a com- ‘
plet-e coat of resin. After a year
use this gets many minute crach
it and needs to be renewed, and
springtime is the brewer’s favor
time for doing this.
Before the new resin is put in,
old coating is to be melted out.

the first of the devices that co
ini5>?se.
The kegs are hung on thia,
an arm of fire thrust into the v<
hole. Presently a stream of b
resin comes from the open tap.
keg is taken off, tipped over a -
rel, where the waste resin is poured
out, and passed to a cooper. He
sounds the headst discards the keg if
it is defective, but If not drives a'
plug of wood home in the vent, and
passes the keg on.* One man now
pokes a long-handled funnel into.. .
the tap hole, and another pours a
lafifeful of boiling resin into the keg
from the kettle.
A cooper seizes the keg, drives an-
other wooden plug home into tbe
top hole, and gives the keg some
curious twirls which spread the
resin over every part of its interior.
Then he knocks both plugs out and
tosses the keg upon a set of rollers
going slowly around by steam
power., Here the surplus resin runs
out and the keg rolls until the resin
which remains cools and sets. I .->-
The kegs are now roiled into the
wash house, ranged up upon end, '
the resin burned out of the vent and
tap holes, a. new plug put in the v
vent, afad the kegs tilled with water.
The water is meant to soak out the
resin taste. As fast as these opera-
tions are finished a man with a paint
pot and brush follows along the line
and puts a dab of paint on the ‘ ‘
of each > keg. If the kegs____

An Immense Lobster.
Although very ifttle regard is
paid in Newport to what are called
in Massachusetts undersized lob-
sters, for the sale of which there is.
a heavy penalty, a lobster was
captured by a fisherman named
George Sirus which completely
eclipses anything before found there,
and as there were no purchasers for
the lobster for eating purposes it
will probably be sold for exhibition.
The lobster was upwards of twenty
inches long and weighed some seven-
teen pounds. An old salt who was
pear by when the question of age
was brought up pronounced him to
be at least fourscore. The lobster
was caught in an ordinary trap, er-
oept that he was not caught in the
usual way. He was so large that he ti“
could npt enter as other lobsters do,
but while around the entrance he in
some way became entangled in the
wood- work forming the lobster pot
and was borne to the surface and ex- A
tricated: One of the large claws had |
become almost devoid of life, while
tho other, though *iot at all frisky,
was capable of giving a bard bite.— • 7 v
