The lessons are easily impaired with
little patience and perseverance. Inns
is the modus operandi; Take the object
in your hand, and having called the pup
to you. show it to him, gently shaking
it before him, when he will at once want
to take it in his mouth. Instead oil let
ting him take it from your hand, throw
it when his attention is on it, few yards
away; he will be sure to scamper after
it, when your next part is to coax him
back to you, as his natural inclination
will be to stop and play with it. 1T he
does not come TO YOU go to him, and
taking hold IF the ball with one hand,
with the other very gently lead him
back to where you threw it from, and
then, with as little force us possible,
take it away, place il on the ground, do
not allow him to touch 1t, but pat him
and praise him; in a few minutes re-
peat the operation, and continue until he
gets tired of it, at the first signs of which
stop the lesson. If this isrepeated twice
day the puppy will soon be perfect, and
will like the lesson all the better if mt
the end of each you reward him with
some titbit. You must then gradually
extend the lesson out of doors, throwing
the ball INTO grass OF elsewhere tnat ne
may have 20 seek for it, and go on until
he will "seek" at the commanding use
of that word, with wave Of the hand
to guide him in the direction in which
you have previously hidden the ball.
These should be strictly private lessons,
as the presence of any other man or dog
will distract the pupils attention and
spoil all. Lessons in the water are
taught on the same plan; and diving by
using a bone or other white substance
that will sink, beginning by at first drop

FOR THE FAIR SEX.
To some Girls.

So you want to marry a rich man, do
you? You want to live without work.
Between Dives and Lazarus you would
fire Lazarus out, Ell? Good. Now,
what does the deliberate intent to
"marry rich," mean? This when in
terpreted in plain English:
You are willing that a man should
pay for the roof over your head. the food
sou eat, the clothes you wear. You ex-
pect him in addition to furnish you with
spending money. And what will you
give in return? Your company. You
are willing to supervise his household.
providing it is stylish enough and there
are servants enough to anticipate every
Rxertion. You will dress. come down
to dinner and play the charming hostess.
But is this always remuneration for his
outlayP Does the rich five or ten-year
married mans life always prove il?
Are you willing for money to be simply
enduredP Are you willing to sit in
your comfortable seat and give Dives all
the scope and rein he wants outside?
After all, have you much reason on your
side for complaining if his fancy wings
itself in other directions? Practically,
you chose his money, not him. You
have what his money brings. Should
you not be content? Did you not prefer
to eat the bread of u gilded Dependence
You have still what you married
money, position, diamonds, servants, a
carriage, summer cottage. Are not
these enoughp Heart? Affections?
FaithfulnessP Nonsense. You did not
wed them.-NeO York. Graphic.

One of the city horses that usually
runs with steamer is sick, anu is not
on fire duty ut present. When the de.
partment left the house Monday evening
at the alarm of fire, the horse was left
hitched in the stable alone. The Bates
street side door was open and the old
fire-horse broke his fastenings and in %
few minutes was following the Gremen.
He came up with one pair of horses and
found that his mate was not one of
them, so he galloped down Lisbon street
until he found the span in which his old
mate was paired. He quietly took his
position beside the other horse and re-
NAMED by his side until the team re-
entered the stable. 1t is related OF cold
Tige," a city horse, who formerly was
worked in the department, that while
serving the street commissioner, on
some lonely road in the suburbs, he
would frequently prick up his ears and
suddenly start for the city without any
apparent reason. When they neared
the city, the driver heard the fire alarm
whistles and bells, which had reached
the horses ears when not sound came
came to his. 1t was so evident that
"Old Tige" knew what he was about
that he was allowed a free rein and to
do as he pleased generally.-LeWiSto71

An IndestructibIe Rubber Boot,

India Rubber, as prepared in the manufac-
lure of Boots, has grain or fiber as positive
rs the grain of Il pine board. The "cracking"
of Rubber is simply the separation of these
fibers, caused by the strain brought upon them,
wherever wrinkles are formed in the stock
by the bending of the loot in the act OF walk
ing. In the "95" Boot, by making the ex-
posed part OF the upper and leg of tWo layers
OF Rubber Gas seen in the cut), the 9, ain is
crossed at right angles, whereby the whole
mass of fibers are held together rendering
separation or "cracking" impossible. The ex.
ira thickness obtained by doubling the upper
and leg, tends also to prevent the formation
OF permanent wrinkles, for the stock, aided
by its elastic purity, springs back to its origi-
nal form when the bending ceases, so that
after six months wear these Boots will be
found as smooth and as shapely as when first
made. This shape-retaining quality will be
found especially desirable in the leg, which in
ordinary Rubber Boots settles down and great
wrinkles are formed around the ankle, causing
the wearer to ''interfere" in walking, to the
speedy wearing out of the Boot leg. The free
dom from foot chatting and stocking wearing
wrinkles in the "Ninety-five Per Cent. Ster
ling Boot" will be found of great practical
comfort and economy.

Marriage customs and marriage mani
TGS, differ in some respects in different
parts of India. Thus at marriage of
his highness the Maharajah of Mysore
the following pretty recitation formed a
portion of the ritual uttered by the
bridegroom in musical Sanskrit:
"Who gave her!
To whom did he give her?
Love gave her!
Love was the giver.
Love was the taker.
Love! may this be thine.
With love may | enjoy her!
Love has pervaded the ocean.
With love accept her!
Love! may this be thine"
Soon after this the bride and bride
groom proceed one or two steps forward,
and the bride is thus addressed by the
bridegroom:
May the regions of space, may air,
the sun and fire dispel that anxiety
which thou feelest in thy mind and turn
thy heart to me. Be gentle in thy aspect
and loyal to thy husband, be fortunate
in cattle, amiable in thy mind and beau
titul in thy person; mother of valiant
sons; be fond of delights; be cheerful
and bring prosperity to our bipeds and
quadrupeds. Soma first received thee;
the regent of fire was thy third husband
and now human being is thy fourth
Soma gave her to the sun; the sun gave
her to the region of fire; fire her to me-
With her he has given me wealth and
male offspring. May she, most con-
spicuous cause of prosperity, never de-
sert me-"
These and many others which were
recited contain much exquisite poetry in
them. They are, to quote Max Muller,
the simplest child-like papers on record.
