ADoG SAVES LITTLE Lass. =. wal
ter. the master of train services OF the Lou
,,ville and Nashville railroad, has dog ne
values highly. This dog is a Ne"ioun''
land and has been raised by his owner from
a small puppy. Mr.. Walter has little girl
,pbo ia fond of the animal, and the affection
hetween the two is interesting. A few
mornings since the little girl was left in the
room alone by large fire in the CRATE. She
went too near the blaze, and the dog open
ed the door and entered. He went to her
and began pulling her away by catching her
clothing in his teeth. The two companions
PLAYED about the room for some time, un!ll
the little girl grew tired and sleepy. She
went too near the fire again, and the dog
could not get her away. He pulled at her
clothes for some time, but could not arouse
her. He then hurried to her mothers room
and began to act strangely by rubbing
against her hand, and catching her dress,
pulling her toward the door. She caressta
him and told him to 60 away and ma NIUE
Nellie. He made strange, whining NOISE
with his mouth, and then slowly walked
back to where the little one was sleeping
The fire was growing hotter and the little
one was sleeping, UNCONSCIOUS OF her great
danger. The dog made another attempt to
arouse her and failed. He then crouched
down beside, between her and the ire, tax
ing care to protect her well. Mrs. walter
entered the room few minutes later anu
found the noble dog in this position whin.
ing and crying, while the hair was being
singed from his back. Little Nellie was
sleeping sweety. -Birmingham, Ata., Agc.

The Vanderbilt of China has just
died and been buried. Not much is
known in Europe of his life, less of
his death, but his burial is reported to
have been most picturesque. His
palace of Hang Chou was miracle of
luxury, and in creating this banker
provincial Judge, and specially au,
thorizing him to wear a yellow jacket,
the Emperor of China made him the
envy of all his other subjects.
But the glory of his funeral seems to
have surpassed the splendor of his life.
The whole city turned out to see the
procession. First came mob of
coolies weighed down with leaflets, on
which were written moral sentences
and apothegms. Then followed a pro.
cession of lantern bearers, supported
by band of musicians with gongs,
cymbals and trumpets. 1t is hard to
conceive anything less funercal. A
hundred little boys came after the
band brandishing the heraldic arms of
the deceased; the boys were followed
by the bearers of his portrait.
Groups of guests came next in pro.
cession, some in white, some in scar.
let, some in yellow; then bearers of
lamps, banners, parasols, and fans;
next the master Of the ceremonies in
white robes, on white horse, preced-
ing an enormous tent, under which the
relatives of the deceased moved, en-
tirely hidden from public view, and
last the coffin, borne ON the shoulder
of "a men. Pail Mall Gazette

A MeritOriouS Illustration.

You can buy overalls for 5Oc.. and yet we
sell all we can make for 81.
Whyg
Because Of the recognition of the difference
in the quality and real worth.
Every workman in the District of Columbia
knows that ours are cheaper at 81 per pair
than the others would be at csc.
So II is all through our stock. The same
careful attention to details In every depart
ment characterize our efforts. Take another
item: Servings. Some time since we had a
general consultation over sowing silks, and
after trying the leading makes by every
known test, we finally decided In favor of one
giving the best results. This particular attcn
tion to details serves to account for the SUI
pcrority of our ready made clothing over
that sold by the trade In general.
Notwithstanding we have greatly enlarged
our business, we propose in the future to he
more careful than ever to produce only meri
torious garments that will not only appear
well, but wear well also.
II is much easier to rest contented with
what chance throws In ones way but our
ambition is continually to

critical judgment, and many of them were
painted upon orders given by Mr.. D'TIuy-
ve,ter himself Others were direct con

Among recent additions to the collections
are the Temptation of st. Anthony" by
Leon Ilerbo, very striking picture, and
''1he First Communiop.n beautiful paint
