in the time of Henry VIII. no fire was

The Dog Overcame His Prejudice.

Tho Rev. c. L. Stresmer, of Smicks-
burg, has a little black and tan dog,
about so high. This canine has hereto.

life to make it as warm as possible for
black cats. White or Maltese or y0llo1
or spotted cats he never moles ted, but
as sure as black cat would show Itself
about the premises, "Don" would
straighten up the bristles on the back
of his neck and G, for that black cat.
He could tolerate anything but sable
feline. That was too much for his dog
ship to endure.
Now, the Rev. Streamer has little
daughter, Sadie, who loves this little
dog as heartily as ths dog hates black
cats. A few days ago, during the cold
stormy weather, Slde could not fad
her "dosgie" about tho house, and was

at last she saw "Don" crouching under
the fence. Taking an UNI leila she
went out aud attempted to bring "Don"
in. But he growled and snapped at her
and would not bulge. The strang,
actions of tho dog puzz ed her father
and he went out to see what was tho
matter, when he discovered that "Don"
had two little black kittens in charge
which had just recently got their eyes
open, and he was tenderly shelterins
them from the rain and storm. The
Rev. Streamer took the dog into the
house, but he whiued piteously, and the
first opportunity he got he ran out
again. and, taking the kittens in his
mouth, one at time, he carried them
to his kennel and put them snugly away
in his own bed, after which he seemed
to be content -Punrsutawney Penn.

Wits the right hand. and at the same
instant sudden downward jerk of the
fish's head with the left, the head is
broken off and falls into tub between
his feet while the beheaded fish flies
over to the splitter, who stands at the
front of the table with the throater at
his left and the header at his right

The splitter now seizes the fish by the
nape with the left hand, and with a
quick slash with his long knife splits
him down to the root of the tail. He
then places the lip Of the knife uudc,
the lower end of the backbone and with
a sudden forward and at the same time
lifting motion, whirls the backbone
into the air, and the fish is thrown down
into the hold for the sal ter.
The fish are laid up in tiers like stove

layer being thoroughly covered with
salt.
When the sounds" are to be saved
the backbone are allowed to drop into
tub at the feet of the splitter until
the fish are all dressed. He then
empties them upon the table, and with
his knife deity removes the ''sound"
or air bladder from the inner side of
the backbone. The sounds are then
scraped and sailed in barrels.

Saccharin deceives the human palate,

Liebreich has demonstrated that bees and
dogs can distinguish unerringly between
food containing saccharin and thas which
is free from it. Some cats also declined
to touch their food when it was sweet
ened with sacchsrin; when a new supply,
free from the obnoxious sweetening, was
substituted, they smelled it carefully, but
finally ate it.

FACTS AND FANCIES.
A Beautiful Gift.

Early last week heard several COM
ments on very fine memorial window
that. was placed in st. Paul Episcopal
church by The Young Ladie s. Guild"
in remembrance of Julia f. Breed, their
former president. Knowing the window
was designed and made by st. Paul
house, | was anxious to see it and COM
pare it to similar work in this city that
has been executed by Eastern houses.
Last Friday visited Rev. John Wright.
the pastor, and he very kindly showed
me through the church. l noticed
some very nice windows, of when there
are several, but the colOrs were lifeless,
and the effect was nothing to compare
with this new window, which was made
by the St. Paul Stained Glass company,
ISL and 1873 East Sixth street. and is
the only genuine mosaic window in the
city. AS looked upon this work of art
the bright suns cheerful rays were pour
ing INFO the church. and the cOioring
was grand, being soft, delicate, pleas
ing and decidedly Oriental. The coiors
are deftly intermingled, and the figure
of 'sMeditation" is very life-lke and
natural The firm that executed this
work deserve praise for this beautiful
work of art, and it is plain to be seen
they. have in their employ only high
grade artists. and their capabilities in
hisadirection are surelyunlimited.

THE BARTEAUS MUST SETTLE.
First Mortgage Money Will Come
From Their Land

The action recently broughtby George
b. Crummey against Joseph Jungmann,
William Barteau, Mary Bailey, and
others, was taken up by Judge Otis yes
terday, upon the application for an in
junction to prevent the sale of l27 acres
of land formerly owned by Mary
Bailey, to satisfy a mortgage for
1913. 9334.23. The land had been
divided up into lots comprising
the Clifton addition to st. Paul. Crum-
mey had bought thirty lots. and numer-
Gus others had bought lots. Mary Bar
teau had not applied the purchase
money for the sales toward diScharging
the original mortgage in fnll, and jung
MANI had advertised the whole OF the
property for sale under the mortgage.
1t is claimed that the Barteaus still own
$44, 600 worth of the property, and that
their lands should be first sold to satisfy
the mortgage, and that after that mort
gage sales should be made in the in
verse order of original sales. Judge
OTIS holds that such is the law, and de-
cided to sign an order to that effect, and
enjoining The sale of the addition as a
whole.
