a MILITARY POODLE.

The Great Service Rendered by Mustache.
French War Dog.
Probably no dog has ever rendered
such signal military service, or been
so hOnorably recognized. as the cele-
brated poodle, Mustache. who shared
the victorious fortunes OF the French
army through most Of the wars of the
Consulate and the French Empire.
He won special honors at Marengo.
and was decorated on the battlefield
Of Austerlitz by Marshal Lannes as q
reward for having rescued his regi-
mental standard from an Austrian sol
der when in the act Of snatching it
from the grasp Of the standard-bearer
as he fell MORALLY wounded. The
plucky poodle drove of the assailant,
and then, selling the tattered colors
in his teeth, dragged them triumph
antly till he reached his own COM
pany. Many are the incidents record.
cd Of the bravery and sagacity Of
this prince Of po0dles. In the van Of
scouting parties he detected many an
Austrian ambush. and on at least one
occasion he drew attention to the pres
ence of q disguised spy in the camp.
Moreover, to his vigilance was due the
failure of . night attack by body of
Austrians. of whose vicinity in the Val.
ley of Balb0 the French were appar-
emily ignorant That NapOlean fully
realized how important role might
be assigned to dogs is we'll known. In
1899 he wrote to Marmont: There
should be at Alexandria large num-
Der Of dogs. which you ought to be
able to employ by massing them in
groups at q short distance from the
wallis" The marvel Is that. after SO
plain IN expression on the subject from
such an authority in the art of war. the
employment Of dogs should not have
become q matter Of course. instead of
which. eighty-nine years later. it is
still regarded rs a tentative measure

POULTRY MANAGEMENT.

How to Make the Raising 0f All Kinds 81
Fowls Profitable.
Give poultry a variety both Of green
and of dry food.
Feed sufficiently to keep in a good.
thrifty condition, but at the same time
avoid overlooking.
Boiled potatoes. mashed and mixed
with wheat bran. make an excellent
feed as a change. Small unmarketable
potatoes can be used for this purpose.
It is not always the largest turkey
that sells for the best price In many
cases, il in good condition. . medium
sized young turkey will bring the best
price per pound.
Poultry, like any other stock. re-
quire good attention, and it b not good
economy to attempt to keep more than
it is possible properly to feed and
shelter.
Ducks are the least troublesome
kind OF poultry. A low fence. il tight
around the bottom. will keep them out
Of the yard and garden. A hen-house
will be all that is necessary for shelter.
II the house is warm and dry they will
usually commence laying in Februar y
and will lay until hot weather. They
will usually commence again in the
latter part Of August or the first OF
September. Pekins are one Of the best
breeds.
Unless the house is unusually warm.
II the hens are laying. the eggs should
be gathered up regularly every little
while or there is considerable risk OF
their freezing. And from frozen eggs
are often the cause Of hens getting the
habit of eating eggs. Once this habi,
is formed. the only cure is to kill the
hen.
Guineas and turkeys can both be
trained to roost in the poultry house
with the other poultry. and they vii
do much better so than il allowed ID
roost outside. Turkeys, ducks. guineas
and chickens can be kept on every
farm. while on many geese and pigeons
may be added.
Have you ever kept an account viii
your poultry? II not, - soon as you
have culled out all you want to market
is a good time to begin. The only
way to determine the amount OF proh'
and loss with poultry Is to keep exac'
accounts of all expenses. Including
feed, and of all receipts. including
value OF poultry used on your o"u
table. Separate accounts should q
kept for the different varieties OF poul'

That things will drive me mad.
Apretty girl with frizz and curl

To work upon our telephone.
And say: ''Hullo: Hullo."
Hullo! Hullo. Hullo! Hullo!

That in the moonlight sings.
Across the floor, beside the door,
Where I walk 70 and fro.
She leans beside the telephone
And says: ''Hullo! Hulloy'
Her eyes are OF grayish blue,
Lit with angelic light;
Her face and form fit to Q charm.
Her foot's perfection quite:
But oh. the part that broke my heart
And laid my spirit low.

And said: "Hullo! Hullor'

I've been in such q daze,l
Although she sometimes looks q me
With sort OF distant gaze,
get SO weak, can not speak,
My heart goes beating so;
At every thump IL gives . jump
And says: "Hullo! Hullow
Ihear her q I walk about
In sunshine and in RAIN,
Ihear her in the jingle
OF the elevated train;
And every sound that goes around,
Above or down below,
It seems to say, the live long day,
Those words: 'sHullo! Hullo:"
Iter you what; TIL buy cot,
Somewhere not far from town.
II she'll agree to marry me,
We both will settle down:
And there where honeysuckle climbs,
And fragrant roses blow,
She'll meet me At the garden gate

Terrible Fate of Family on a Naphtha
Launch.
BUFFALO, n. Y, Aug. This after
noon Dystanders near the boat house at the
foot of Ferry street heard two explosions
in quick succession from the boat house of
l.. B. Crocker, superintendent of the New
York Central stock yards, in which his
pleasure yacht Cedar Ridge, was stored.
Immediately following the boat burst into
flames, which soon made a furnace of the
interior. simultaneously two or three
persons were thrown into the water, as if
from the force of the charge. Caleb Tolsma
got boat and picked up young lady,
Miss Mclean, aged d, from the water.
She was badly burned aud was taken 10 q
hospital
At this tiue Mr. Crocker's young son
was seen standing on the boat deck against
a background of FIRE. Charles Schweigels
seized a pike pole and extended IL towards
the little fellow till it almost touched his
breast, at the same time cry ing TO him to
grasp II and he would rescue him; but the
little fellow seemed psraly zed. and in q
moment fell back into the fire and was
burned TO a crisp before the horrifed on
lockers. Schweigers face was burned from
his attempt to rescue the boy.
Attention was directed to a carpe inter-
clinging to the rafter over the blazing boat
He clung desperately TO bis perch and then,
a. if stupefied by the heat and sufOcated
by the smoke. he lOosened his hold and
dropped. another victim. into the furnace
below. His name was John Rugenstein,
30 years old and married. He leaves q
wife and five small children. The other
children of Crocher, Lemuel, q son aged 2
years, and Ethel, a daughter aged years,
also perished in the flames. Another girl,
Charlotte, aged Il, was blown into the
water and rescued The yacht Is what
was known as nsphtha launch. and was
run by naphtha-
The accident was caused when the enei-
ueer Lit q match for the Ignition of the fuel
by an explosion Of some gas which had
leaked out. The family was preparing TO
90 on pleasure trip, and Mr.. Croeker had
taken his four children and Miss Mclean,
a lady friend from Detroit, who is stopping
with them, u the river for an exeursioo.
Croker himself barely escaped with his
life, and is almost insane with grief. His
wife has been i'll for some time, and this
grief will probably kill her.
