ENGLISH WoMEN's LOVE FOR DoGs.-An
English woman would not be seen in the
company of her young children. As soon
as they are born she hands them over to al.
most any hired. ignorant and uneducated
woman, who may bring them up in their
tender and most impressionable years ac.
cording to her own ideas of life. To such
women are iutrusted the feeding, dressing
and general care of the future leaders in the
social and political world. The mother
"Visitsn them once day for few minutes
in the rooms set apart for them at the top
of the house, and dreary rooms they some
times are. The mother, however, will take
a dog and fondle it, and seldom be seen
without it. She will walk with it when she
would not walk with her own children, and
she must have the swapping, pampered lit.
tie beast beside her in her bedroom, IN her
boudoir and in her carriage, and she will
keep no ledy's maid who will not as care
fully tend this dog, wash and comb it daily,
caress it and take it for its daily walk. In
fact, the English alteration Of dogs is only
to be compared to the ancient Egyptians
alteration of cats, though l marvel much if
these latter ever put them 10 the place of
their children. But I conclude that this
love in the English is hereditary. In the
bone caves of their Briton ancestors is there
not to be found confused mngling of the
bones of human end animal life of sges and
ages ago? 1t is possible that in those days
thew worshiped the horse and dog, as their
descendents now do in another sense. living
with them and adoripg them at the same
time.-Edith AbeI in Boston Transcript.

and present Gar dashed his wine glass
down upon the table and refused to drink
to the land Of the TeutoEs. His sire became
irate aud told courtier near by 10 eject the
bot headed young man but fearing the
displeasure of the Prince, he dgnitary III
come way evaded carrying out the uDpleas-
ant command. Among those at The dinner
was Captain A. Newy yizofskoh, or Newy,
as it is now AngliciZed. who openly declared
that if ne had been called upon by the Car
to lay hands upon the Prince, he would net
have besitated in the performances OF such
duty second. This speech cost the gallant
in fact in Russia, for be was, on account OF
the present Czsr's alleged dislike, compelled
to become an exile and suffer the coD6sca-
ton of his estates, valued at 1000 600 rou-
bles Accompanied by his wife, who bad
$50 900 of her own, Captain Newy settled in
California, and then, about four years ago
having previously become an American
citizen and renounced the Gar and all his
pomp-went to Centraia, w. t., where be
resided forsome time, and then moved to
Toledo, not far distant, which is his present
home. He purchased considerable land in
the neighborhood, and stocked it with
blooded horses and cattle, and purchased
quantities of the best agricultural machine
ry in order to 60 into business on heavy
scale. To cay that an Inexperienced
foreigner, with plenty of monsy, vas
f1eeced by those who sold him cattle and by
numerous others who came in contact with
him. goes without saying. While living in
Washington Territory bis wife made strip to
ST. Petersburg, and On her return had an
immense supply of costly presents given
by her wealthy Russian relatives. which now
ornament their Toledo home. Having
through sheer ignorance-for he bad been
trained solely for the army-squsndered q
great deal of his wife's money Captain
Newy wrote 10 the Car requesting that his
coniisoated estates be restored to MIN, but
owing to enemies in court, none OF his let
ters ever reached the Ruler Of All the Rus
sias." Becoming desperate, the exile short
time ago left for Europe to enforce his claims
in person, and last week Oh crossing the
border he was arrested and thrown into Jail
as q political prisoner. On Thursday tel
egram was sent to Portland from Paris by
some Of Captain Newy's friends to MeSsrs.
Staver & Walker, who are fully cognizant
of the captains affairs here requesting that
they and Mr. A. Feldenheimer, another
friend of the unfortunate, call on Senator
Mitchell of Oregon, and induce him to see
Secretary of State Bayard Immediately and
bring about his release from prison, rs he ls
now citizen OF the United States and free
to travel where be pleases. Senator Nit.
chel will give the matter his most active
attention, and we hope before another week
to be able to chronicle that Captain Newy
has been not only liberated from prison but
has been restored to his immense fortune

An Improvement in Dentistry.

A we'll known Pittsburg dentist has late
ly received "A patent upon an electrical APP
pliance that has certainly solved one of the
many difficulties attending the proper
handling of the human teeth. Heretofore
a whole gold tooth has been made by the
old-fashioned swedgiug process, at once
clumsy and hardly effective. The gold
cones are technically called galvano-plastic
tooth crowns, and the process of making
them is very simple. A soft metallic model
of the tooth is made, this being done per
fectly by first taking An impression of the
tooth. Tho metallic model is then placed
in dynamo-electric bath, and deposit of
pure gold is thus formed all over the model
When this gold has attained a suitab o
thickness the soft metal is easily melted out
without inJuring the cone, leaving a per
feet, smooth gold tooth crown. This pro-
cess is far easier than the old way, and has
received marked attention from the scien-
tific dental organs of the East.
