DoG-LovING CITIES.
A Classical Town Which Spends About
$4,000 per Year for Dog Collars.

A Classical Town Which Spends About
$4,000 per Year for Dog Collars.
Boston, as before remarked, is par
excellence the city for dogs, it being
said that a dog of any pure breed
whatever will easily bring $50 to 800,
while in dog collars Boston spends
$4,000. New York can not show
such figures. San Francisco is now
spending $4,000 in dog collars and it
is estimated that within the next five
wears this city will more than double
that amount. Philadelphia stands
high in the estimation of dog men, but
there the dogs patronized are of the
smaller breeds. In Minneapolis the
dog men find a congenial city. 1t is
simply Overrun with dogs-curs and
good degs-and the popularity of the
townspeOple of Minneapolis is that
they all want their dogs cOllared. Chi
cagO, too, shows well, spending a great
deal of money in dogs and on their
collars. The much-vaunted St. Louis
is spoken of in disparaging terms.
The people of st. Louis are 10th to
part with dollars for dogs and much
less so for collars, while Denver, for
its small size, is mentioned in terms of
respectful admiration. Kansas City,
Mo, is liberal in purchase, and it is
expected that within few years there
will be larger purchases there than in
St. Louis. The cities which spend
most in dogs and dog-collars are in
this order: Boston, Philadelphia, New
York, Chicago, San Francisco, St.
Louis, Cincinnati and Hartford. But
fashion springs in New York, from
New York come the rules which gov
ern the style, for New York are es-
pecially manufactured the latest novel
ties, and when the New York dudine
declares that the best kind of a slip
should be made of silk and of a color
to suit her gloves, Boston and Phila-
delphia meekly bow their heads to the
edict. The South does not spend any
thing in dogs and their adOrnments.
The agents of dogs goods, however,
have gone through the various States,
determined to push their wares, and
have repeatedly returned Disconnected.
New Orleans once did take a 1anguid
interest in bell-decOrated dog-col1ars,
but it speedily died out. In San Fran
cisco the demand is for novelty and
small collars. San Francisco does not
care for New York ideas, but likes
something new and altogether distinct
from the wares of the preceding years,
so that manufacturers have to be es-
pecially careful in catering to this de-
mand.-SGn Francisco Chronicle.

A VALUABLE PIPE.
History of the First Meerschaum Pipe and
Its Humble Maker.

History of the First Meerschaum Pipe and
Its Humble Maker.
In 1928 there lived in Pesth, the capt.
tai of Hungary, Karol Kowates, a
shoemaker, whose ingenuity in cutting
and carving on wood, etc, brought him
in contact with Count Andrassy, an
cestor of the present Prime Minister of
Austria, with whom he became favor
lite. The Count, on his return from
mission to Turkey, brought with him q
large piece of whitish clay, which had
been presented to him as a curiosity on
account of its extraordinary light
specific gravity. 1t struck the shoe
maker that being porus, it must nat
ura1Iy be well adapted for pipes, as
it would absorb the nicotine. The ex-
pertinent was tried, and Karol cut a
pipe for the Count and one for himself.
But in pursuit of his trade he could not
keep his hands clean, and many
piece of wax became attached to the
pipe. The clay, however, instead of
assuming a dirty appearance, as
was naturally to be expected, when
Karol wiped it off. received wherever
the wax had touched, clear brown
polish, instead of the dull white it pre-
viously had. Attributing this change
in the tint to the proper source, he
waxed the whole surface, and, polish
ing the pipe, again smoked it, and no
ticed how admirably and beautifully it
colored also how much more sweet
the pipe smoked after being waxed.
Karol had struck the smoking philoso-
piers stone; and other noblemen,
hearing of the wonderful properties of
this singular species of clay, imported
it in considerable quantities for the
manufacture of pipes. The natural
scarcity of this much esteemed article,
and the great cost of its transporta-
ton in those days of limited facilities
for transportation. rendered its use ex-
clusively confined to the richest Eu-
ropean poblemen until 1880, when it
became more general article of trade.
The first meerschaum pipe made by
KaroI Kowates has been preserved IN
the museum at Pesth.-C Christian at
Work.

A NATURAL ERROR.
How q Lady Came to Mistake One of Her
Guests For a Swell Waiter.
Ta4far


Guests For Swell Waiter.
Washington Letter
CoIored servants are out of style, and
have been replaced in the swell houses by
Frenchmen who wear IordIy air that
causes them to be mistaken for the nobili-
ty. A loud call for reform in this direc-
ton comes from lady who gave a large
reception this week and innocently mis-
took guest for one of the swell walters.
She is a handsome, bright woman, with a
keen sense of the ludicrous, and told the
story on herself, laughing, though much
mortified at the affair.
81 thought 1 should sink through the
floor" she said. ST met the gentleman in
the hall up stairs as l was coming down to
receive. 1t was early, and when he bowed
with so much manners, 1 thought it was
odd, coming from one of DemOnet's men,
whom my husband had engaged to take
charge of the supper rooms and cloak
rooms. But, OF course, 1 said good even
ing and remarked that hoped the table
would be all right and the guests well
served. He did not respond, and
looked queer, so 1 continued: oh, you
are looking after the room up here.' Then
he put out his hand, and, like flash, his
name came to me, and knew had called
Mr.. Blank, my husbands friend, waiter"
"What did you say!" asked the excited
group around her.
sob, l thought I'd faint, and I really
wished I could drop through the floor out
of sight; but he looked so amazed that
rallied and said: 'Oh, Mr.. Blank, you
know Demonet's men are so fine-looking,
and such gentlemen in manner Then 1
begged him to give me his arm, and he es-
corted me down to the drawing room; but
I assure you 1 shall never look at dress
coat again without a shudder."

A MoRMoN's FORTUNE.
PrOnIgacy of the spendthrIft Children o
Brigham Young.

PrOhIgacy of the SpendthrIft Children Of
Brigham Young.
Judge Baskin tells me that though
Brigham Young left over million, his
children are fast going through it.
Many of the girls have not turned out
well, and, in his opinion, none of the
children have the ability of their father.
L came across a curious fact in cOnnec-
ton with Brigham Young the other
day, and that is that his children acted
in the Salt Lake Theater when it was
first started. The Mormons are not
proud of this, and when asked Mr..
Game about it one day he evaded the
question.
Judge Baskin tells me that Utah
would be thousand per cent. better
off if it had never seen a Mormon. He
says the Territory contains some of the
best land in the United States-land
which viii produce four hundred or
five hundred bushels of potatoes to the
acre, and other things in proportion.
He says this talk of the Mormons max
ing the desert blossom like the rose has
been originated by the Mormons, and
there is nothing in it. He says all the
land needed was irrigation, and the
streams of Utah are such that this
could be easily gotten. Irrigation is
better than rain, and any other
class of Americans would have
brought forth better products and
larger population than the
MormOns. Had the Mormons kept out
of Utah it would now have a thriving
Gentle population. Salt Lake City
would be larger than Denver, and the
Territory would be a State filled with
some of the most enterprising men Of
the West.
1 asked Judge Baslin what was to be
the future of the Mormons. He re-
piled: 81 believe that the Mormons
viii have Joe Smiths son as the head
of their church within five years, and
that they viii accept his doctrine.
This man is now in Illinois, and he
teaches MOrmonism as it was taught
by his father before polygamy and tenn
poral government by the church was
mixed up with it. The Mormons of
Utah are being converted to this doc
trine, and if the Government continues
to legislate against polygamy, | think
they will adopt it, The only thing that
keeps the Mormon Church together
now in political way is the desire to
uphold pOlygamy. This being taken
away, the management of temporal
affairs will pass out of the hands of the
church, and it will become like any
other religious denomination. Then
Utah will grow, and it will take it's
rank among the Western States as one
the most fertile and wealthy among
them. Carp, IN CleUeId15d Leader.

My wife, Mr.. Jones, and my daughter;

John, she is our baby. what's that SIR.
"A boys name; of course, that IL is
But names only cou Mt when they We m Gaming,
And III tell you the meaning Of this
It does seem a little queer, don't it2
And here's how the thing II came on
That the belle OF the girls Of Bald Prairie
Should have such queer name as John.
It's fifteen years gone n September.
And the fever year, that was BEFORE,
when half Of the farmers wore mourning
And Grape hung at every man 9 door,
reckon there wasn't a farmer
That didn't have doctors to pay;
And u seemed like Judgment upon us
With funerals in sight every day.
And on our otUn house door, no angel
Had sprinkled the blood that could save;
Our children, too. died of the fever
We buried them, three IN one grave.
And only the baby lived through it
And she couldn't hear what you SAID,
The doctors all thought that the fever
Had settled some way in her head.
But she was so sweet-liEe and kindly,
There wasn't ne ghbor here, sir,
Who wouldn't have cut his right hand on
TO keep any danger from her.
Yes-Afteen years. gone in September,
And baby was then about four,
When they built the north road down from
shannon,
And the track was laid close to our door.
One day as I singled Won stable

And saw the train come round the hill.
And louder, and faster. Il Whistled-
And just like bullet Of lead,
Came a shock to my heart, for the baby
Was walking there slowly ahead.
]. too, screamed aloud to my baby
Forgetting that she could not hear
Great Godl had the heavens no mercy
To save her the death that was near2
And, stranger, as If God had heard me,
The engineer saw her and leapt,
like tiger, right over the engine,
And down to the coWcatcher crept.
1t wasn't a second too early
For just as the train touched her feet,
his strong arm reached forward aud caught
her,
Her face just as white as a sheet.
And, stranger you wouldn't believe IL,
But the fright. and the shock and the rest
Eomehow brought her hearing back to her,
And now she hears good as the best.
That engineers name was John Rivers,
And that's how the thing it came on,
That the belle Of the girls of Bald Prairie,
has got such queer name as John,

Courteous Tom Corwin'sL Reply.

Uncle Tom Corwin, who was pitted
against Shannon, was in stage riding to
some point where he was to prosecute his
canvass. On the way, a lady, who by the
way, was none other than Mrs. Shannon
entered the stage. She did not know
Corwin when she saw him. Mrs. Shannon
carried a baby in her arms and Corwin
took the child from her as she was about
to step into the stage. He placed the
little one on his lap and retained it there,
amusing it in a gentle, kindly manner I'M
til the lady reached her home. Corwin got
out, and, entering the house, carried the
little fellow to bed and laid him down
on the fiat of his back. As he turned to
the lady to bow his farewell she asked
him to whom she was indebted for so
much kindness and courtesy. Thomas
Corwin, at your service madam" was the
reply, "and l intend to lay your husband
out at the next election as fiat as I have
just laid your son on his back"

RACINE DYNAMITERS.

The Trial of John Jambor and PaIica Begun.
RACINE, Wis, July 3.-The trial of John
Jambor, for an attempt to assassinate M
M. Secor by means of dynamite, and F. j.
Palica for cOunseling the same, was be-
gun before Justice Heyer yesterday. In
the case of Jambor, change of venue
was taken to Justice Wentworth's court.
Jambor remained in court the entire day,
and has nearly recovered from his inju-
ries. His examination will take place
July 7. The case of Palica was pro-
ceeded with after considerable discussion
by the attorneys. Effort was made to
have the examination of the accessory
adjourned for ten days, but the motion
was oyerruled.
Several witnesses swOre that they saw
Jambor come to the door of the business
mems meeting and beckon Palica out
about an hour before the explosion.
Secor told how often and in what manner
he had been threatened by Palica, and
stated that the cash book, bank book,
check and receipt books for 1881 were lost
during the year. Mr.. Secor was in Europe
and Palica had charge of his business.
NJ. F. Bohn, of Milwaukee, testified that
he had sold JambOr a false beard on the
day of the explosion.
Palica's case was adjourned until
Tuesday morning, July 9Th, at ten
O'Clock.

innocent maiden, clothed in purity and
armed with virtue, shall alternately thwart,

Many southern readers will doubtless
hnd 1t interesting. The peculiar vein OF

That the opportunities presented by
the CORY opening to wind up with terri

the slaughter OF billions of osquitoes
had been neglected should not be imput-
ed to the author as a fault. None but
cultivated literary mosquito could have
dealt with artistic fidelity with that great
theme, and we rather commend the mod
Grafton of the author, who has suffered
such an opportunity to pass.
