Mr.) was the principal feature in
Justice Harry s court. Really he was
on trial for his life, but iu the eyes of
tne law hu tlyitre.l merely as an ex.
hlbit in the case at bar. When the
most damaging testimony for the pros-
ecution was introduced he took it im-
concernedly. As charge after charge
was made Nero sat calmly enough, now
and then wagging his tail or pricking
up his ears, for this Nero is a setter
dog, 'part Irish, part Gordon," ao bis
owner says.
Did he or did he not bite little Paul
Heed? was the question before the
magistrate. If he did. it was cause for
an award of damages against his
owner, and perhaps for acnteneu of
.eath against himself. If he did not
it meant a rousing big dinner on re-
turn from court and unlimited pelting
by all the children on the block.
"The essential mutter in this case,"
said the justice, learnedly, "is tile
character and disposition of this do r
If he is a vicious dog and bites every-
body that bothers him. it is per sc evi-
dence that the plaintiff bad cause to
bring this action."
"The dog himself is the best evi-
dence," said Mrs. II. I'. Terry, mother
of the boy who owns Nero.
"Very true; very true," remarked the
justice, deliberately.
So Nero was put on the stand.
"Pull his tail or play with hiin, any-
one, if you think he will bite," sug-
gested Mr. Terry.
One of the lawyers gave Nero's tall a
hard jerk. The dog looked around in
a hurry to see where it came from, and
then settled contentedly on his
haunches again, opening his mouth as
if to catch ii superfluous liy.
Then they shook a stick at Nero and
poked him in the side. The dog took
it all as great fun.
"The truth is," said .Mrs. Terry on
the stand a minute later, "that is one
of the best-naturcd dogs that ever
lived. 1 don't believe he ever bit the
boy at all; he just jumped on him.
rhev brought young Reed over to our
house and showed a little triangular
hole in his pants about three-quarters
of an inch each way.
"I looked at the skin under the
tear in the cloth," the witness went on
"and there was a little scratch, such as
might be made with a pin. That was
all there was, every bit."
Still the prosecution's witness, who
had seen the affair when it occurred in i
Jefferson park, insisted that the dog I
was vicious and did bite and hurt Paul !
Reed until he cried as if he were a
ionn tain filled with tears. His parents
were afraid of hydrophobia.
"The dog is a good-hearted .log,"
said Jitnmie Wilson, eight years old
and people smiled at the old-fashioned
solemnity of tile boy.
"This story was started by the Stet-
tens. They have moved awu.v from
Golden (late avenue now," said Mr
Terry, very distinctly.
\\ ere the relations between your
(oiks friendly or otherwise?" asked the
justice, as if he suspected something".
"Otherwise," briefly stated the wit-
less.

the work is done. The foundation is at

nature of small stones and ce-

than half an Inch In thickness, but

under tho heaviest kind of traffic. This
adds materially, of course, to the
beauty of Berlin, and facilitates the
work Of cleansing tho streets, an-
other department of municipal odmini.-
tration which Is attended to in tho most
effective manner. Cleansers in uniform
are constantly at wurk in all parte of
the city, who with broom and brush
heap up the refuse before the curbs, to
be hauled off to the city farms during
the night. At Intervals each day wa-
ter carts are driven over the streets,
and boys follow after with squeegees,
which they propel by long handles
washing every particle of filth away.
®*cellont condition of the streets
of Berlin is ono of tho reasons why the
city has none of those districts which
have come to bo called "slums." While
London and Paris, not to mention the
Italiau and Spanish cities and some
cases nearer home, suffer in u notable
manner from tho congestion of the
poor at certain points, whero they live
crowded together under tho most un-
healthy surroundings, this is not to
any extent true of Berlin. There are
districts in tho east and north whero
tho poor live together, but In nothing
in „ , mlstT.v and squalor which one
will find elsewhere. The streets, as al-
ready remarked, are asphalted, and
they are clean. They are nearly everv-
where wide. There are none of those
h, H *ya which cxl t other
cities. The houses aro well built and
dMrfe't °°Uld, pass ^ugh these
districts time and again, and did ho
not see tho children on the sidewalk
and the women with their heads out of
the windows it might scarcely occur to
him that he was among tho poor peo-
ple. Tho fronts of the houses are of
very handsome masonry, harmonious
in architecture and in no important re-
epect different from the houses in many
wealthier sections of tho city.

or Mr. Ingram Patters.
Ingram Potters Is very nearsighted,
defect that has caused hini no end of
mnoyance. He would pass friends
upon the street without recogni/.ing
t.icm. and, being wealthy, the seeming
snubs were ascribed to a haughty spir-
it. Sometimes he bumped into people
apparently on purpose, so that he nar-
rowly missed a blow now and then
from an irate individual.
His wife pleaded with him in vain to
correct the failing by recourse to the
optician; but I ngram is just old enough
not to be willing to seem older, and he
tleafi.i, ait her entreaties until—but

and the cold, unsympathetic voice of

"Only on one occasion in my life
have I felt the need of a weapon," said
on officer of the United States army to
a Washington Star writer. "I have
never carried n gun, but it has some-
times occurefl to me that no man ought
ever to be without one. One cannot
be sure but that some time the weapon
would save one's life j.-or instance, I
will recite to you a little experience of
m) . 01T"' „ *U " ns in a wild mountain
region of lexas. I was riding along a
lonely path, mounted on a government
mule. J,ot a thing did I have on my
person which could have been regarded
by the most Impoverished citizen as of
Value. Whistling as I went, i ap-
proached a large rock about which the
path ran do avoid a sharp ascent.
Just as I readied It a fiercc-looklng '
man rose out of the bushes and cried:
Malt!
What could I do? Perhaps you will
eay that I ought to have charged upon
him with my government mule, over-
powered him, taken away his arms, and
demanded why he should thus obstruct
what was the best substitute available
for a public highway. I did nothing of
the kind. The only reason I can allege
is that I was afraid. Such a method of
dealing with highwaymen does well
enough in story boolts, bu t in real life
It is dangerous. Accordingly, I obeyed
the suggestion of the bold bandit and
j halted. For a moment my heart jumped
| into my throat as I saw him thrustu
hand into ins hip pocket. lie drew
j from it something and pointed it at me
: point blank. I perceived that tho somc-
thing was not a pistol; It was a bottle-
a large, black bottle. Said the high-
I way man: °

bottle with more than ordinary eager-

I whisky I have ever tasted; and that is
j a good deal, for I have lived in
wlld8 "f the west for a number of
years. But to me at that moment it
was a grateful draught. I handed the
, bottle back to the highwayman, and, as
he went his way with a benevolent
smile upon his countenance, 1 resumed
I With a thankful heart my journey upon
my government mule. I hud meant to
offer him that mule, bu* would hardly
have had the nerve, perhaps, for he

an obviously valueless gift as an in

The art of rendering artificial aid to
the memory by associating in tho mind
things difficult to remember with those
[which arc easy of recollection is said
to have originated with the Egyptians.
The llrst person to reduce It to a sys-
tem was, according to Cicero, the poet
oimonides, who lived 500 years R C
His plan is known as the topical or
iy, I1?"' and outlined by the
Philadelphia Times as follows: Cliooso
a large house with a number of differ-
ently furnished upartments in it. Im-
press uj>on the mind carefully all that
is noticeable in the house, so that the
mind can readily gu over all Its parts.
Then place a series of Ideas in the
house the first In tho hall, the next in
the sitting-room, and so on with the
rest. Now, when one wishes to recall
these Ideas in their proper succession
commence going through the house
and the Idea placed In each depart-
ment will be found to readily recur to
tho mind in connection with it. It I.
related that the mnemonic plan was
first suggested to the poet by a traglo
occurrence. Having been called from
a banquet just before the roof of the
house fell and crushed all the rest of

EARTHQUAKE WAVES.
*uU tlo.a Travel at . v.r7 111,1. K.t. of
Hpeed.
Some of our readers may remember,
says Youth's Companion, that tho
pulsations of the greot earthquake in
Greece last April were perceived in
England, and, it was believed, at the
, Cape of Good Hope, by means of very
delicate Instruments contrived for the
j purpose of registering any slight sliak-
I lng of the earth's crust. In like man-
, ner the shock of the Constantino
earthquake of July last was perceived
at various meteorological observatories
in Austria, Kussia, Germany, Holland
I' ranee and England.
By a comparison of times, combined
with the distances from Constantinople
of the places where pulsations were
observed, a fairly accurate estimate of
tho velocity with which the earthquake
waves traveled was obtained.
The average speed was about two
miles per second. This Is almost ex-
aetly the same velocity as that which
was calculated for the pulsations of
the Greek earthquake in April. At
this rate, If it were continued without
diminution, the wave would pass com-
pletely round the earth, along a great
circle, in about three hours and a half.
| One of the English instruments which
registered these pulsations is at the
bottom of a doep mine near Newcastle-
on-Tyne, and its delicacy may be
judged from the fact that it has record-
ed the beating of the waves on the sea-
coast ten miles awav.
