Mime. Maurice EphruSsi, nee Rothschild,
the day of her marriage, had her favorite ter
rier dressed in white satin, with garlands of
orange blossoms. The whole Rothschild
family are possessed of the passion for dogs.
The baron and baroness had two different
houses built for their canine specimens, who
seemed TO have declared war with each other.
The baroness has u whole family of marvel
Gus terriers. Rigalo is the gentleman, Beauty
the lady; the lady possesses the good graccs
of her mistress 10 the dctrimCnt of her hus-
band; she travels with her, her trouSseaux are
made of finer materials, and aftCrward the
gentleman dogs jealousy Is excited by being
deprived Of the much coveted Rothschild
coat of arms, which his wife wears eInbroid-
cred in relief in one of the corners of her coat.
The Baroness Nathaniel Rothschid has all of
her dogs wear the white and yellow colors of
her livery. When tho wife of Gen. Turr
takes her dogs out on n yachting expedition
they wear dark, blue coats with marine col
lars, anchors embroidered in the corners and
parapled with the mistress name.
The rarest of all Paris dog is probably the
one Mime. Thco brought back from America.
PiStache was given to its mistress in bou-
quet of roses, at her last performance in
Mexico. 1t belongs to n race of dogs which
is almost extinct, the Chiwawas; they can
now only be found on the summit of a noun
tain in Mexico, on the day of public markets.
One of her great admirers scaled that noun
tain to bring the dog-loving actress that mar
vel among dogs. 1t IS to toe hoped American
women are far too sensible TO initiate the
Frenchwoman in he. inordinate love of dogs.

The Timber Supply.

1t seems that the timber supply in the
northern portion of the country Is be-
coming scarce enough to excite alarm.
We read that at recent meeting of the
lumber manufacturers convention in
Chicago, \. NJ. Vausback, President.
called attention to this fact, and de
clared that the timber of the Northwest
was far too small for the prospective de-
mand. He said that Minnesota, which
had been considered one of the best of
the timber States, did not now contain
pine enough for the future wants of its
own people; Wisconsin could not supply
the wants of States dependent upon her,
while Michigan, even with the assis-
lance of Canada, could not furnish the
remaining Northern States and the ex-
port trade with white pine.
Here is a statement from high and I'M
doubted authority that the lumber for
ests of the North and Northwest are be-
ing rapidly denuded, and it corroborates
fully what the Times has so often stated
that, in the near future, the South
must become the great lumber produc-
ing section Of this country. This is why
so many syndicates have of late years
been pros pecting among our Southern
forests with the object OF buying extern
sive tracts of woodland.
Those who own such property should
bear this fact well In mind, aud see to it
that if they sell at all they 90 not let
their possessions go for song, but that
they get for them full value. They
may rest assured that the timber indus
try is destined to become one of the
most important of the many great
sources of future Southern wealth.

A Defaulted Exhibition.

Andrews Cathedral building fund, adj
mission being placed at ten cents to the
grounds and one dollar tothe balconies.
Hundreds of people went to the gates
during several hours from six o'clock,
but were turned away in short order
when they sought admission. An ex-
ception was made of the native popu-
lace, Chinese and Japanese, soldiers
being on hand to announce them and
to keep back the white people. There
was an exhibition of hulas within the
royal precincts, and a few foreigners,
including some Palace fayorites, who
got In under distinguished" patronage,
we're unceremoniously turned out
again. There are different reasons
gwen for this invidious course. Native
soldiers say that His Majesty was in
censed at the unfavorable sentiment
entertained against the huas by for
eigners, and concluded to give none of
them any more opportunity for seeing
the exhibitions. Another statement is
that the King was displeased on being

port went round on Saturday night that
an evening this week would be fixed

The Hungarian Premier.

A writer in TSmbh Bar describes
Tisza, the Hungarian statesman, who
has been Premier Of that section of the
Austrian Empire for more than ten
years, as follows: "He looks like an
old Jew clothes man. Hook.nosed,
specialized, with stopping shoulders,
unkempt beard and long gray hair
trailing over the collar OF shabby coat,
he is no imposing parsonage. He
wears the shabbiest of hats and smokes
cheap cigars all day long. He is a
man of few words. Dsdainful of little
courtesies, he never tries to ingratiate
himself and does not seem to care
whom he offends by his brusqueness.
He is not fine orator, nor a great
inancier, nor bold party manager,
yet he is the most popular man in
Hungary and the most respected. His
administration is mastery"
