LUxURIES FOR DOGS,
Now Things in Leather and Toilet Article
 for Household Pets.

Now Things in Leather and Toilet Articles
 for Household Pets.
 That ancient proverb, nothing new under the sun, finds its refutation in the canine toilet case, without which no aristocratic dog i'll high life can be truly fashionable, says the New York World. Dogs in high life are given bath once a week and q shampoo daily. As comb and brush are deemed necessary to dress the Skye tresses, some widc-awakc person has just put upon the market set of bristles and bone for doggie's own precious self, done up in q satin-lined case with clasp and seal like the one on Beauty's toilet stand. The comb Is shown in shell, celluloid aud bone, and the brush is long and narrow, with kennel scene of some sort stamped on the handle. Done up in leather boxes prices rango from s to $7, while the leatherette, another name for paper, can be had for half the money. What is known as something extra nice that man generally buys when sent on the errand, because it Is the first thing of fered, has rubber comb trimmed with sil- yer and with the same plate the brush Is bound. Set into the lid of the box is medallion head of some prize dog, also in plate, or groove is stamped out to receive intaglio the portrait of the favored brute The firm that deals in furnls hing goods for dogs take orders for canoes and fill them, too, just as they provide for having the an- imals teeth, ears, or ills attended to.
 Another innovation is pair of kid socks into which Mir. Dogs hind feet arc put and securely gartered with whatever coorcd ribbon is most becoming to his complexion These little brown stockings sell at fifty cents, and are thought to be a restriction when the pampered brute takes a notion to scratch himself bald. Dog-hampers for travelling can be had in rush, willow and cane vanished to represent boxwood In one side is an invisible slide, which, being open, supplies air and saves the maid or mistress the trouble of opening the cover The medium sizes are provided with pockets in which grass, oaten cake and an appetiz- ing bone can be carried.
 Dog-collars are counted among the staples in leather and jewelry stocks. Some arc as plain as trunk strap and others rival the belts so much admired by lovers of outing costumes. For toy terriers cham bracelets are considered tho proper styles and the young man who makes morning calls and Is received in the family sitting-room is just as likely to find the antique jewel of smoked silver, for which he surrendered $20, caspcd about the neck of a 22-ounce black -and-t an as the slender wrist of the girl he adorcs

 "'Cause do not love him velly well," Miriam replied in tone of apology. She put her arms around her mothers neck, and kissed her tear wet check fondly ''But love you velly much,'' she supple mented, while her sweet childish voice tremhlea with fearful emotion.
 Lady Percival took her daughters hand, then, without further words, led her back to tho stately roof f-tree which one day refused even sheltering care. The agony of soul Lady Pcrcival endured in that hour had broken her heart. She was conscious of it as she leaned against tho balustrade for support before going to her rooms.
 "Mother sovelly tiredp' Miriam said, as tho twain entered the apartments, and forthwith she began arranging tho cush- ions of Lady Percival's chair. It seemed that the child wanted to do something to

 And, Miriam? Well she was so changed, with her great grief weighing her down. Together they walked out over the grounds, Arthur and Miriam, as they used of yore, but the heart of each was sadly changed-hers with her sorrow, and his with his fears.
 How pale she was; tho deep mourning of her gown rendered her moro ghost-like, if possible. Her dark, expressive eyes met his with a strange yearning tenderness in their depths he had never seen before.

CHAPTER VIII.


 But Sir Rupert Percival raved when Arthur Fairfax presented himself before his august tribunal with such Q request raved of hangers-on, of fortune hunters and, finally, of impudent poucfty. The lover stood calmly controlling his temper for the sake of her whom he loved. It flashed across his mind as he listened to the old mans excited harangue that per- haps his great bereavement had affected him more than any one was aware of. In view of this suggestion of mind he brought all his charity of soul to bear against the angry abuse hcaped upon his undeserving head by the husband of his dead friend and father of his betrothed.
 But when Sir Rupert's stinging words, 'impudent poverty" were flung insolently in his face, 1t was too much. He felt his aristocratic blood mount ill defense, and an angry retort was inevitable.
 This last fling was little moro than his generous nature could bear without retail: ation, and he missed, with flashing eyes i: "Your blessing, if you please-your curse,' if you dare!"
 sAha young man, you have blood; now, if you had money-but you haven't. Pow erty and pride go together; and impudent manners, too, for that matter. You can not be son of mine and snugly ensconce your lean self among the Percival bonds. [ advise you to seek plebeian alliance and be wise, at least. Go; have done."
 "I do not fear you in the least And, if you were not so old, you should eat your impudent words. As it is, will go, but not to seek mesalliance; no, not by any, means. Your daughter will be my wife. swear it.'
 With this parting salute Arthur Fairfax bowed himself out of the grand drawing room at Heatherleigh; out from tho pres once of the irate owner, with flourish and 3 bang, leaving the servant staring after him ID amaze.

FOR MARRIED PEOPLE.
Why Husbands and Wives Should Study

Why Husbands and Wives Should Study
 Each Othor's Weak Points.
 It has been well said that married couples should study each others weak points for the same reason that the skaters look out for air-holes in the ice-in order to keen clear of them. Unfortunately, however, they often use their knowledge of such ten der spots for very different purpose, spar ing no pains to give them rub on every possible occasion. Hence domestic diffi- culties" innumerable.
 Women, says the New York Ledger, have immense power over the men-creatures, and they know it; but. alas! they do not al- ways exercise their influence wisely The wife and mother should be the primary orb Of the domestic system, the center of at traction to all the members of the family group-for, when wives arc "repellent bodies," away go husbands and fathers and sons, flying off at tangent into space.
 Men should remember that many of our privileges are founded on compromises and concessions. It is so in the world political, and the policy that makes a state prosper ous and happy is not bad as homs policy Therefore, o Benedick, if thou wouldst ac- Quire the right to ask friend to dinner without notice, neglect not to respond favorably when the partner of thy joys and sorrows hints at new bonnet or a new silk dress. It is q faithful saying that tho ''wife's want is the hus band's s opportunity" and tho converse of the proverb is also true
 It 4s one of the mIsfortunes of unrcgu- lated families that both wife and husband insist upon having the last word. Nothing can be more improper. The last word is an "infernal machine,' and married folk should no more struggle for it than for a hundred-pound shell with the fuse lighted To the married ladies who find their spouses uot quiet so perfect as they had supposed them to be during the billing and cooing period, we would suggest that angels havo uot been permitted to wed with women sincc the flood.

CHAPTER VII.

And after the scene closing our last chap ter Lady Percival never saw another happy day. From that wretched day on, until her decease, her existence was but living death.
 Not many months after the death of Lady Percival there fell shadow over another home beautiful country seat near Heather leigh. This one was the lovely home of a former friend of the Percivals. But it was not the shadow of the silent reaper's sickle. No, it happened in this case to be that of the grim-visaged horror of polite society," poverty, and tho stricken was the plea sant residence of Beechwood Terrace, and the homo of the Fairfaxcs.
 With one fell swoop, uncompromising failure had swept the luxurious ease and careless contentmentfr from the elegant stone mansion, and its aristocratic inmates found

A Horse Stoleu.

ERIE ILL.,, Sept. There was horse
stolen out of Irving Morgan's pasture
last Thursday between the hours of and
z O'Clock in the evening. The pasture is
located across Rock river from u j.
Blackman's. The horse was owned By
Jno. Snively, q young farmer, and the
loss will be quite heavy to him. He had
just got the animal paid for. There is
not much doubt as to the person who
stole it.
The mare is six years old: would
weigh about LOO pounds; of medium
build, and light bay color. with blaze in
face; also two white hind feet 1t had q
scratch on left hind leg alb 'ut four inches
above the fetlock, caused by barb wire
cut; the shoulders had been sore and
lanced, but the scar was covered by hair,
and what will make the mare easily dis
tinguished is that she has been sucking
colt. The thief crossed the river to
the Rock Island county side and proba-
oily headed for Iowa. Officers will do well
to look out for such horse, and send
any information to Irving Morgan or

The Rdillcdy Age, referring to the conf
petitiVe routes between two important
points, and citing the fact that 1Ol routes,
by combinations of lines and parts of lines,
exist between New York and New Orleans,
says: at seems that the distances by these
10l routes range from eleven hundred and
eighty to two thousand and tifty-three
miles, the longest being S13 miles more than
the shortest; and yet not only may the long
est offer the same rate as any of the other
routes, but it may demand thatit be allowed
to make a less rate than any of the shorter
lines because it is under the disadvantage
of being a circuitOus route! This illus
trates popularity in railway traffic man
ners and customs which is certainly inter
esting, and is hard to reason about'
Railway travelling in Cuba said gen
tleman recently returned from there, lis a
nuisance. 1t is slow in the extreme and as
inconvenient as possible. The frst-class
cars are not as good as the second-class in
England. They are whetched affairs, with
common wooden benches and no attempt at
ornamentation. There is no upholstering
of any kind. The only difference between
the first and secoud-class cars is the seats
of the former are made of cane and also the
backs of the seats"
A railroad manager, on the subject of
ticket scalping, is quoted as follows: 1.-THE
trouble now is, and always has been, that
some general passenger agents, in order to
work up their business and make a big
showing for themselves and their lines,
persist in having tickets sold via round
about routes; they inform brokers Ct
the scheme that they may purchase the
tickets, and thus help them out still further
by redeeming the unused portion of the
through tickets by whomsoever they are
presented. A broker consequently knows
when he goes to a ticket Office and pur-
chases through tickets by a line doing bust
ness in this way, and resells to passenger
with an order on his correspondent for a
rebate, that even if the tickets is limited
closely, and his correspondent at the inter
mediate point does not succeed in disposing
of the unused cupOns within the limit, the
arrangement is such that the line selling
the ticket will redeem it, and he will make
his margin out of it.''

IN RAILWAY CIRCLES.
The Denver, California, Canyon
and Pacific Company.
LOGAN WANTS STREET CARS.
The Story of DECENTRALIZATION Two
Fires-OppOrtunities for Cribbing-
Personal and General.

The Denver, California, Canon & Pacific
railroad company, recently Incorporated,
has sent out an expe 1ition from Denver
to Green River junction, on the Denver "
Rio Grande Western, for the purpose of
surveying the Colorado river country with
the intention of running the line down from
Grand Junction to tide water The man
agement of the company has already six
boats and supplies awaiting at Grand juno
ton. They have two corps of surveyors
and a photographer to accompany the
party.
The fact that the company has completed
a survey to the mouth of the Grand river,
a distance of 100 miles, over which an aver
age grade of about seven feet to the mile
has been secured, is important information
to railroad men. The engineer reports no
canon work, only one bridge across the
Grand and one tunnel half mile long
through sandstone.
The government surveys show that the
average grade down the Colorado river does
not exceed five feet to the mile.
The projectors claim that the line will
have advantages of an easy grade over
other lines crossing the continent, the other
roads being in excess of 100 feet to the
mile The success of the enterprise de-
ponds upon the feasibility of the road, and
if the present survey proves satisfactory 1t
will then be question of the business
which the road will do.
The line starts in one of the largest coal
fields in Colorado and terminates IN
market where coal is higher than in any
other market of the world The road will
run through the greatest scenic country in
the world. with canons $500 feet and rich
in minerals.
Major Powell states that if formation
means anything ii will be the greatest sill
yer producing country in the world.
Valuable mineral has within the last few
years been discovered in southern Nevada,
southern Utah and northern Arizona in the
cafions and contiguous to the canons of the
Colorado. Rich and apparently ineXhaus-
tible deposits on the Colorado river, be
tween the mouth of the San Juan and the
head of the Colorado, have been discovered.
Major Dutton reports all varieties OF mar
bles, GRANTEES and states in the canon, and
Philadelphia capitalists have recently pur-
chased extensive salt mines, three hundred
to four hundred feet thick, near the mouth
of the Virginia on the Colorado.
The country lying contiguous to the Col
oradO or the higher mesas. is well timbered
and the valleys susceptible of high cultiva
ton. Cotton. tobacco and figs are being
raised successfully through this whole
country.
The road will cross and connect with the
Atlantic & Pacific at the Needles and with
the Southern Pacific at Yuma, which lines
in connection with the Denver x Rio
Grande and Midland, will form through
line from ocean to ocean over the lowest
grade across the continent
