A Very Good Dog Morj.

The following dog story is absolntcly tnie, the occurrence having come nnder the observation of the physician at Old Orchard and related hi the att.wney up m

Kefu* Choate's Thorough lie.. It was on iirinriplF'that Rufus Cboata Is-gan the practice of law. No matter how small his fee. he did for his client everything the case required. He shrank from no Labor, but did his best in preparation and in argument. He once tried a . dog case before a Beverly justice of the peace in an office no larg.T than a cobbler's shop, and argued it with as much learning And brilliancy as if he had bevn before the supreme court. “He treated tho dog.'* said a spectator, "as though he were a lirm or an elephant, and the rrabbtsl old squire with the consideration he would hive paid" to the chief justice." Even when he had become the leader of the Boston bar it was noticed that tho idle or cliaracter of an audience had no effect on'hUadvocacy. Some of his meet brilliant arguments were delivered when there were few to hear them: he was indifferupt to an audiince, but alive to the principles of the case. One stormy night while residing at Danvers he was called up at a late hour to go several miles and draw tip a will for a very sick man. He went, wrote out the will, returned home and again Suddenly there flashed across his mind an omission in the will that poanbly might cause thc testator's wishes to be mistmderstiKid. He sprang from hisls-d. dress<-d himself rapidly, and to the iuquiries of his wife answered that ho had d*no what must be undone. Ho rede in : the storm to the man's hotuc. explained • tlie reason of his retnm, and drew a codj- ’ oil to the will which made everything It was to such conscientious thoroughness tliat Rufus Choate's success was due, quite as much as to hi* eloquence and . legal learning.—Youth's Companion.

But, as hinted above, a nearer view often shows a surprising wealth of bloom To be appreciated it

Tbr Age af Tree™*

! There- is no certain method of deter-’ mining the age of a big tree. Estimate* of age by rings can only be on tree* cut * down in their prime. Tlie largrat number ever counted were in a tree felled in 1812. This had 710 ! distinct rings, but to these an hidefmito number, should be added which became obliterated. Even in young tre« there 1 doe* not seem No lie any certainty in tho evidence. In 1871 Dr. A. L- Child planted a red maple from the seed. It was rut down in 1t«2 and showed 40 ring*. Ir. a trial in Vermont involving a boundary ‘ question the dispute turned upon a cat a hemlock and the length of tim* re it was made. A section of the tree s produced showing 40 in one aide ' and SO on Hie other. The verdict was that rings are not a «ire indication of age. It is true that Ote more distinct rings do approximate tit the age of the tree, but there are so many suleannnal rings that .such testimony is invalidated. External measurement is the beet indication wo have, and tills is never much better than a guess. Tho best way Is to take the ascertained growth of the first century, and then make one-third of it the average growth of every century. Thus, with 12 feet as thc ascertained growth of the o»lr in it* first century, 4 feet would be iu constant growth, and wo might conjecture an oak 40 feet in growth to bo abont 1,000 years old.—St. Lonis Post-Dispatch. A lVuo.lrrf.il Magnetic Eg*. Sterling Jenkins lias a great curiosity iu the way of an egg. The egg wm found in the luxing in Capt. Wilson's kitchen, completely covered with soot and dust, and there is no telling how long it lias been there—|a-rhajis since Mr. Maddux built the house, over forty year* ago. Tho shell of tho egg is perfect, with ho flat aide, and it it as light as if thc contents had been blown ont; but when placed on a table in any position it will tarn quickly to one ride, as thongh it had a couple of ounce* of lead on that ride, thongh thc weight of thc egg is not sufficient to cause this. It will not roll off a board that is wide enough for it to turn once around, and it will spin like a top by touching'it with a jau perpendicularly when it is lying on a table. To lift thc egg up from a table it feels at first heavier iNsn a fresh egg and iiroduccs a pulling sensation. like taking a piece of steel from a magnet, but when it is lifted a foot above the table there ajqs-iirs to bo nothing but an empty shell, which shows it has a magnetic attraction. Another peculiarity of the egg is the fact that if you hold it in one hand and a piece of metal in the other a tingling sensation will bo prod need in thc arms like that caused by a light shock from an electric battery.— Buena Vista (Ga.) Patriot.

Culi sml Kitten.

There is a 7 month* lion cnb at tho gardens that is being raised with a black cat The cnb ia very much attached to pussy. They play and frolic together every morning, and before any visitors come they are let out for a romp in tho grounds. Pussy bounds off for the woods, tho cnb following at breakneck speed. Pussy runs up a tree after a bird, and tliat dumfonnds tho cnb. He take* it philosophically, however, and lie* down at the foot of the tree watching her. When the keeper goes to get them he pounds the tree with ’a club and down c’umra pussy and run* for the carnivora, followed by tho cnb. A few da}-* ago a beautiful white rabbit got out while the cub was playing round the Stone floor of tlie carnivora. The cnb gave chase, and the stupid rabbit of course stopped right in the cnb'* paw*. ”1 expected to are the cnb tear the pretty long eared thing to piece*," remarked Sol Stephens, “but no, be only smellod of it, pawed its long ear* and played with it, much a* a cat dura a moose, letting it hop a few step* and then bouncing after 1L" The rabbit waa at lari rescued. —Cincinnati Enquirer.
