Two Excellent Dogs.

A Georgia dog was lying in the yard
when a negro girl rushed out of the
house with her dress burning. The dog
sprang at the girl and tore away part
of the clothing. She broke away, but
the dog again caught her and continued
his efforts until all her clothing was
torn off, That the girl, though much
burnt, still lives Is due to the dog,
whose mouth and foreface were badly
burned in his efforts to save her.
A bird dog is owned by William Good

One night last week Mrs Goodall was
sleeping with her two children when
she was awakened by the dog barking
and pulling at the bedclotbes. She al
once became aware that the room was
full of smoke, and rushed out to give
the alarm. While she was gone the
dog seized the night-dress OF little
girl of years aud carried her out OF
the room. The other child was rescue

The Chatelaine Chain.

"Thc chatelaine chain" said Broad
way dealer in jewelry, lis the most
popular fad in ladies' bijouterie that we
have handled this season. 1t is differ
ent from the old-fashioned chatelaine
chain in several particulars. 1t is worn
only in the breast, whereas the old
style was worn at the waist or just be-
low, and the ornament at the end of
the now popular chatelaine chain must
be ball of some kind. We have made
these little balls of every conceivable
material, from diamond to tokua bean
and from gold to plain German silver
The chain itself can also be made Of
ANYTHING that strikes the feminine
fancy. Gold in finely woven links is
most in demand, but we have made
chains of almost everything you can
imagine. One of the oldest / have
seen was made for u stylish young
woman whose skye terrier had just
died. The chain was made of the
favorite little beasts hair, with deli
cate thread of gold running through it.
Another novel thing was a chain of
small pieces of quartz, almost as clear
as diamond drops. which were united
together with gold. This was for the
daughter of rich minc-owner, who had
sent her the quartz from Colorado. At
the end of the chain, which sparkled
brilliantly with every motion, was n
plain gold ball inscribed with the date
of the last big strike of ore at the mine
and the ore taken.
The end of the chain which holds
the little ball is allowed to dance at
will over the breast while the other end
which is supposed to hold lady's
watch. is concealed through an opening
between the button-holes, just above
the bust. The little ball is hardly ever
at rest. dangling about as it does with
every movement of the body, and nat.
urally attracts the eye. That is the
secret of the chains popularity.
I'VE have sold thousands OF
chatelaine chains from stock this season,
and made hundreds on special orders.
Among the materials used for the little
balls are oxidized metal. platinum,
onyx, bloodstone, agate, turquois, cats
eyes and all kinds of jewels, often en-
circled by bands of gold or other ap-
propriate metals. "-NeW York Mail

A Story of Faith.

The conversation drifted 10 publish
ers. and he told me a pleasing little
story in which Mr.. Moore, publisher Of
The Rural NeD- Yorker, was the bene-
factor. A naturalist of considerable
note resided in Lancaster city at the
time. He owned little home, had a
profession. but was not rich i'm this
worlds goods. Mr.. Moore used to
send to him all queries in connection
with obnoxious insects, etc. The
naturalist would make drawing of the
insect, give its proper name, explain
its habits, peculiarities, etc, all of
which would appear in The Rural NetD-
Yorker. One Chr, stmas morning the
naturalist said TO his daughter: MY
dear. there is a turkey in the stove, to
be sure, but this 25-eent piece is all the
money ! have in the world. Not a
bright outlook, is it2" Presently a
needy neighbor dropped in to solicit
aims, and the naturalist promptly
handed her the quarter. He was big
hearted man, a devout Christian. and
with sublime faith in Providence.
Daughter, the money viii come back
to me four-fold," he said. Just then
the postman handed in letter. The
naturalist opened it and found in it q
check for $50. 1t was from Mr.. Moore,
who wrote in substance: you have
been very kind in preparing those arti-
cles for US from time to time. You, no
doubt, regarded 1t as "a labor of love-
but We must ask you to accept this
check, not as complete compensation,
but as a slight expression of our appre-
citation of the value Of your work"
There, Mary, what did tell youP' the
old naturalist cried, his eyes filling with
tears. This is a true incident, and
should the Lancaster dailies copy it
they will have no trouble in supplying
the naturalists name.--P hiiddei phid
