Baby Dogs.

'rNice little fellows, amt theyw said
the owner Of the black land tan baby dogs
which for some DAYS have been attracting
attention in a window on Woodward ave-
nue.. 81 could sell a barrel Of them if /
could get them"
They were nice canine babies-smooth-
skinned, but with little hair on their
sleek chests, with legs that looked like
lead pencils, and plaintive eyes that
popped out of their heads like marbles.
"What pedigree have they~
ooh, they're thoroughbreds, said the
dealer, "bred in-and-in until they are so
weak they can hardly stand. We sell
these for $50 each-they are all sold, too,
but you see they only weigh couple of
pounds. Now, dog that weighs five or
six pounds of this breed can be had for
SO or $12. Anything over eight pounds
you. can yet at your own price"
''Who buys these dogs"
sob, the ladies buy them for pets;
they've been out of fashion for some time,
and they are very hard to get; so now
everybody wants them. can't get half
enough for my customers"
'What is the best age to buy one at9'
''Six weeks if you want the fun of rails
ing it. And that is fun, 1 can tell you.
Some folks sit up with their dogs nights
and feed them out of a teaspoon and take
just as much care of them as if they were
children. Yon must cut their ears, too
1t requires surgeon to do that"
GA dog doctor 2"
Sometimes; but there are families
where the family physician is called in
for the dog as regularly as for the chfl-
dren. I'll tell you curious coincidence, "
said the dealer. whenever the children
are sick in family where they keep a
toy terrier the animal will get sick, too.
Measles, whooping- cough, chicken pox,
that dog will have every one of them"
GLOW do you account for it ?"
Sympathy; and it's natural for them
to catch anything that's agoin'. They're
not much use and l don't admire them as
ornaments" continued the man, "but
some folks do. There's woman lives
on Harrison avenue, near Michigan, who
raises them. Did you want to leave an
order 2n
''Not to-day; how about Scotch ter
riers ~
81 have some beauties; you can get the
best for $40. But the Skye terrier is
much higher. There was arush for them
last year. They had their hair banged
and tied up with blue ribbons, and
ribbon bows on their feet, and on the
tips of their tails, and they were as proud
as peacocks. Well, them same terrier;
are running in the mad to-day. They
are not small and helpless enough.-De'

Food Frosa q Poisonous Root.

may here mention popularity OF
another form of nearly pure starch
food, viz, tapioca, which is obtained
by pulping and washing out the starch
granules of the root of the manihot,
then heating the washed starch in pans
and stirring it while hot with iron or
wooden paddles. This cooks and breaks
up the granules and agglutinates the
starch into nodules which, as Mr.
james Collins explains ("Journal of
Society of Arts" March IA, 1884, are
thereby coated with dextrin, to which
gummy coating some of the peculiar
tiles of tapioca-pudding are at.ributa-
BILE. 1t is curious fact that this man,
ihot-root, from which our harmless tap
ioca is obtained, is terribly poisonous
The plant is one of the large family of
nauseous spurgcworts { Euphorbj0ce9).
The poison resides in the milky juice
surrounding the starch-granules; but
being both soluble in water and vola-
tile, most of it is washed away in sep
arating the starch-granules, and any
that remains after washing is driven
off by the heating and stirring which
has to reach $40 degrees in order to
effect the changes above described.
l suspect that the difference between
the forms of tapioca and arrowroot has
arisen from the necessity of thus driv-
ing off the last traces of tho poison
with which the aboriginal manufacture
ers were so well acquainted as to COM
bine the industry of poisoning their
arrows with that Of extracting the
starch-food from the same root. No
certificate from the public analyst is
demanded to establish the absence Of tn
poison from any given sample of tapi-
oca, as the juice of the manihot-root
like that of other spurges, is unmistak
ably acrid and nauseous.
Sage, which is a starch obtained
from the pith of the stem of the sago-
palm and other plants, is prepared in
grains like tapioca, with simila re-
suits. Both sage and tapioca contain
a little gluten, and therefore have
more food-value than arrowrot,-Pop-

The great pine forests of Michigan,
Wisconsin, and Minnesota are begin
ming to show the signs Of exhaustion.
There is shortage of production this
year in these states footing up about
600,000,000 fee. The average of first
quality" lumber has run down from IL
per cent. ten years ago to per cent
last year, showing the rapid deteriora-
tion of stock which is brought to the
mills. The quality Of the logs is much
poorer than ever before, as many have
been put in from land once cut over
and new land has been cleared of every
thing that will make a Gull board. The
improvident lumberman, who in the
past only cut the choice pine and left
the remainder to be devastated by fire
now saws wn his trees close to the
root to save an axe kerr, scrapes the
ground with fine-tooth rake to get
every log that will make passable mill
culls, and will discharge a foreman
that leaves on the ground log six
inches in diameter.

Did Not Succeed.

1t takes two to make slander-one to
listen, the other to report. If mankind
would act as Russian general once did,
the race of scandal mongers would die of
enforced idleness.
A Russian once tried to tell Skobeleff
of certain scandalous reports about him.
Gone of your officers" he began, sis
spreading lies about you. May give
you his name9"
'!'No, no; not word" answered the
general, sharply. "My officers fought
like heroes. l love them. One word of
mine was sufficient for their going will
lingly to death"
When the Russian, thus silenced, had
left the room, Skobeleff called his ser,
want, and asked:
'Did you notice well that face2"
eyes, general"
eff so, then remember for that man I
am never at home, never! Do not forget
my order!n

Perhaps some day it may be accom-
plished. Some years ago an old fellow
In Boston created great excitement
by pretending he had a machine that
was fifty times as powerful as any
known power, and hundred times as
cheap. His machine was arranged so
that after it once started it kept going
by successive explosions of bran dust
that was blown into a chamber by
bellows. and ignited by gas jet, the
expansive force acting on piston. 1t
was big scheme, and he claimed that
he could run tain of cars all day
with a quart measure Of flour or bran,
but haven't heard of its being applied
yet. Perhaps some one will work it
up yet and make a fortune, but doubt
it. "-Ne10 York Sun.
