 â€" •* MW W The Bloodliounds a Failure. The attempt to make ase of bloodhounds in Hacking the Whitechapel murderer has been a coofcpionona failure.. The doga wn- nloved seem to have come from a private ken- nel, those with which Sir Charles Warren has been experimentingha^ong proved worth leas in all fie preliminary testa. The idea of uaing bloodhounds as trackers in the heart of a densely populated district was so prepos- terous that ii is amazing that it should have been seriously entertained-by the chief of the metropolitan police. The beat-noaed dog ever known could not have followed the trail (rf his master over the streets of London wiUi stale scsent crossed at every pace by a f reah- er one. How any experienced cffijial could have imagined that a bloodhound could sue- •eed in tracking a stranger over ground where confused and unfamiliar scents were numer- ous passes comprehension. It is not probable that Sir Charles Warren ever believed that his desperate expedient was practicable. His idea must have been to impose upon the cre- dulity of the people of London by encourag- ing them to think that the chief at Scotland Yard was an official of extraordinary resour- ces and original power. The fact has been established by experi- ments in the field that the scent which a good-nosed dog ordinarily follows is an em- anation from shoe leather. An investigator, who made a number of striking testa with setters and hounds at a Scotch shooting box, discovered that he could invariably throw his dogs off the scent by changing his boots for a pair belonging to a companion or by running in stockings or barefoot. The Whitech:;pel monster could undoubtedly elude pursuit by cbanging bis shoes after he had gone a short distance from the scene of the murder. As for the theory that blood- hounds could track him with the adventi- tious aid of the smell of blood on his clothes, it is untenable in this instance since he ap- parently is remarkably successful in escape irg blobd stains, which, indeed, would inev- itably lead to his detection in the streets. If such a murder were committed in the country, and the body were dragged any distance and concealed or buried, the dogs would easUy succeed, ferret it out, and pos- sibly in the open fields or roads be able to follow thfi murderer. In overcrowded Lon- don no such result could be hcped for with reason. The facility with which the mur- derer could throw the hounds off the track, and gain upon them even if the scent were hot, would inevitably baffle them. By tak- ing a cab or the underground railway he could break the trail and in a short time place miles between him and his pursuers. An Impendim; Daiucer.

Finely bred, intelligent horses are very often nervous They are qaick to notice, quick to take alarm, quick to do what seems to them, in moments of sadden terror, neces- sary to escape from possible harm from some- thipg they do not understand. That ia what makes them shy, bolt, and run away. We cannot tell what awful suggestions strange things offer to their minds. For aught we can tell a sheet of white piper in the road may seem to the nervous horse a yawning chasm, the open front of a baby carriage the jiwa of a dragon ready to devour him, and a man en a bicycle some terrifying sort of a flying devil without wings. But we find that the moment be becomes familiar wit those things or any other that affright him, and Allows what they are, he grows indiffer- ent to them. Taerefore when your horse shies at anything, make him familiar with it let him smell it, touch it with its sensi- tive upper lip, and look closely at it. Re- member, too, that you must familiarze both sides of him with the dreaded object. If he only examioes it with the near nostril and eye, he will be very likely to scare at it when it appears at his off side. So then rattle vour paper, beat your siss drum, flatter your umbrella, run ycur ^by carriage and your bicycle, fire your pistol, and clatter your tinware on both sides of- him and M around him until he comes to regard the noise simply as a nuisance and the material objec's ss only trivial things liable to get hurt if t ^ey are in the way. He miy not learn all that in one lesion, but continne tbe lessoiis and yon will cure all his uervonsneas. A Clever Ba^cal. Some clever rascal in London advertised that he would on receipt of sixpence in stamps, return to the sender one shilling. The advertisement ^aa published prominent- ly enough to attraci; comidersble attention, and it naturally excited remark. To mos^ persons it seemed a very transparent hum- bug, too silly to be called a fraud, but there were afew curious individuals who determin- ed to see whether the advertiser was a crank or had some game, so they sent on their six- pences. By return mail each one received the shilling. A few days after, the same advertisement ag^in appeared in several of the newspapers, and every body who had tried it before told all of his friends about it. The result was that several hundred sixpences were received and next day as many shillings went back. The third time the advertisement appeared the mail receiv- ed by the clever sharper was simply enor- mous. Letters came from all parts of the kingdomand from allRortnof ptople, high and low, rich and poor. The rogue pockra sev- eral thousands of pounds, and, curiously en- ough, neglected to make any returns. goeth about like a roaring whom ft may be devoured. i It to to the newspaper that tiie pabllo should look for advice for whom not to vote, and how often. It to the province of the newspaper to give the pabuo reltoble information at what drugstore toproonre the proper antidote, if he to suffering from a digrified liver. A dignified liver to one that has become high- toned and refuses to work. In a word, while there to no kind of use- ful information that should be' withheld from the public, yet we do not think that the editor should tamper with the planetary system and predict that the earth wUl be treated like an offensive partisan. For instance, articlee have been going the rounds of the press to the effect that the earth to gradnaUy beoominv cooler, and that in a short time all the lower brute creation â€" including, of oonrse the human raoe â€" would be destroyed by the cold. These predictions have often brought on the hottest kind of a summer, and the people have suffeied from prickly heat and disap pointment in consequence. On other occasions, the press haa warned the public that the planet was getting hotter, and su'h predictions have usually been followed by cold waves that made the readers howl with face ache, and mined the trade in summer clothing. • Thto sort of thing destroys the confidence which the people reposes in the press, and to calculated to lessen its influence for good. People simply sa/ that an editor is little better than a liar. Just now, for instance, there to an as- tronomical article going the rounds of the press to the effect that nie public should be ready to dodge, as a star known to tbe police by the name of Arcturus, is a bad Indian and is heading this way, ard unless he is captured by the U. troops and put back on tbe reservation he will make it lively for everything that wears hair when he strikes the white settlements. This u what Professor Proctor says "The result of the observation these ' doings, recently, made at Greenwich observatory, numbering and extending over a period of five months, is the clear establishment of the star's move- ment toward the earth heikd on at the rate of something more than 50 miles a second, 3.600 miles a minute, 180, OCO miles an hour, and 4.320,000 miles a day." An we have already intimated, we depre- cate sensationalism. Prof. Proctor and all the other star inspectors may under- stand tbeir business, bat the public has been fooled so often that nobody to going to pay pew rent and lead an upright life on each encouragement as is contained in the above quoted paragraph. May not Arcturus' high rate of speed be accounted for by the supposition that he u being pursued by a hornet, or a deputy sheriff, or Mrs. Arcturus.? May he not be some celestial bank cashier who having heard about Canada, is anxious to join the American colony at Toronto We have casually examined Arcturus through a quart telescope with the stopper out, and can see no cause for alarm. We believe that as soon as Arcturus sees that we are not going to scare worth a cent, he will discover that hto motion is orbital. For a time he will appear stationary, and then recede with hto tail coiled up betireen his hind legs. At any rate, we will not let Arcturus get the drop on the reading public. We shall continue our otMervations from time to time, with a telescope of increased magni- tude, acd if we see the but of a putol pro- truding from beneath the horizmtal coat tail of the heavenly vUitor, we shall tosue an extra in time for regular subscribers to load their shotguns.

At least, no one woald give either of these anawen inthe serioos way in which the oliaim to the possession of a hot temper to made. May then not be, nnderlybig thto inoon stotenoy and explidning it, a misoonoeption of the real meaning and soaroe of a quick temper To many minds thto unde- sirable trait seems to be the ontoome of many very admirable qualities. To be hot- tempered meanSi inferentially, in sudi men- tal vocabularies, to be genetoas, and large- minded, and nnaelfish, and, after a lapse of time, forgiving. But I maintain that it means exactly the raverse of all these things. If a man be quick-tempered, if he give way to anger quickly and unrighteously (for I leave out tiiequestion enturely thatrighteons wrath which rises for good reasons only, and to quite a different matter from temper), he to not genenous, for he shows no ngard for the comfort of those around him; he to not unsel- fish, for it to safe to say that in nine cases out of ten, if not in tbn out of ten, hto fury to kindled by some fancied slight to himself and to allowed to blaze simply as an illumin- ation in honor of hto self-esteem; he to not- fergiviog, because, though he may recover quickly from hto aberration, and soon be per- fectly urbane to the whilom victim of it, the restoration is simply forgetfulnesa, and to forget the injury inflicted upon another by hU own hasty words is by no means synony- mous with forgiveness of ir juries he himself may have received. Lut of all, he to not large minded. I am convinced that a quick temper to an unfailing indication of a limits intelligence and a lack of mental qoiokness. If the mind were large enough to uraaip the true relations of things, to see how small a point in the universe thto temper-rousing epuode occupied, and if it could see this quick- ly â€" in a flash of thought â€" the outburst would be averted. _^ At a Fishing Village in Scotland. Many fijhermen with their bags were on their way to the station, for the fishing season as almost over. So they^ said. But were one thousand boats came in, and twenty thousand fiiher-folk were that day in Fraserburgh, to us it looked llttie like the end. In all thto busy place we heard no Engluh. Only Gaelic was spoken, as if we were once mora in the Western Islands. It was the same in the streets. The day's work in the curing4ioases was just ahout to begin. Girto and women in groups of threes and fours were walking toward them. In the morning light we could see that thesreater number wereyoung. Allwere neat and clean, with hair carefully parted and well brushed, littie shawto over their shoulders, but nothing on their heads. They carried their working clothes under their arms, and kept knitting as they walked. Like the men, they all talked Gaelic. When they got to work we found that those strange stufib which had glistened in the torch light were aprons and bibs smear- ed with scales and slime, that the white head-dresses were worn only for cleanliness, that the shining masses at their feet were bat piles of herring. I have nev»r seen women work so hard or so fast. Their arms, as they seized the fish, gatted thsm, thnw them in the baokeis, moved witn the regularity and speed ot machines. Indeed, there could not- be a busier place than Fraseitnrgh. All day long the boats kept coining in, nets were emptied, fish carted away. The harbor, the streets, the fidds beyond where nets wera taken to dry, the curing-houses, wera alike scenes of indostry. If the women put down their knives it was only to take up their knitting. And yet these men and women, working incessantly by day and by night, were almost all West- ern-Islanders, the people who, we ara told, are so slovenly and so Iszy No one who comes with them to the east coast for the fishing season will ever again believe in the oft-repeated lies about their idleness. â€" [Harper's Magazine.
