NC SYRUP should always be used when children
are cutting teeth. 1t relieves the little sufferer

lieving the child from pain, and the little cherub
awakes as bright as a button. It is very
pleasant to taste. It soothes the child, softens
the gums, allays all pain, relieves wind, regu-
lates the bowels, and is the best known remedy
for diarrhoea, whether arising from teething or
other causes. Twenty five cents a bottle. s&$

drink, and Fidge got up and trotted along
with them. He is affected bv
drinking in the same way as Q man,
and a glass of wine or two glasses of beer
will turn his head. He will then act as
foolish as any human drunkard. Will
dance around on his hind legs, viii Jump
up on chairs and bark, and show of all his
tricks without being told to. Not long ago
quiet little press dinner was given
to one of the Washington cores
pondents, and Fidge was present. His
master got home very late, and
Fidge did too. The next morning his mas
ter was asked by his better half where he
had the dog the night before. He replied.
20, just around with the boys" and went on
reading his newspaper in an innocent way.
At the breakfast table the madam again
asked in very significant tones, Where
did you have the dog?" "Oh, down to
the Office and at the hotels" replied her
husband. After breakfast the same ques-
ton was put, and then Mr.. Frye asked
what was the matter. He was then led
through the house and was shown that
Fidge had done number of things which
as good, sober dog he never could have
done, and he proved himself human even
in his drunkenness.
Another evidence of Fidge's understand
ing of language occurred at the B. & 0.
depot the other day. Fidge and his master
dropped in at the restaurant for lunch, and
they discovered rather fine looking but
very lean and very dirty dog tied up in
the waitIng-room outside. While they
were lunching the owner of this dog
came in and asked Mr.. Frye what he
thought of it. and Frye replied that it was
hungry and ought to have something to
eat. He then said in conversational tone
to Fidge, "Fidge, are you not ashamed
of yourself to eat here when
that DOG out there is starving?
Now want you to go to the kitchen and
beg for bone and take it out and give it
to that dog" Fidge had lunched at this
place before, so he knew where the kitchen
was and he straightway started
off, and IN about five minutes re-
turned with a turkey leg in his
mouth. He carried this over and laid it
down beside the strange dog who jumped
at it and snarled at Fidge as he ate it.
Fidge appreciated the situation and laughed
under his whiskers as the strange dog went
on eating. FRANK g. CARPENTER.

The power of money is illustrated by the
invisible but potent halo which hangs over
Mr.. Rockefeller's head. 1t is q round head
of the mold of bullet, with close-cropped
hair growing thick around the ears and
neck, but very sparse on the crown. 1t
would be difficult to tell the color, but it is
by no means difficult for q stranger to pick
out Mr.. Rockefeller as q great man when
he attends church either in New York
or at his country place on the Hud-
son. The people of the congregation
watch him with degree of interest which
borders on absorption both in town and
country. Every movement which the
great millionaire makes is followed by the
eyes of every one in the place-sometimes
including those of the clergyman-and his
coming and going are eagerly noted. In
manner he is apparently unconscious of
this. He greets the people whom he knows
with . degree of cordiality which is ex-
tremely hearty, and he does not look sec
ond time at faces that are not familiar to
him. An ingenious young man has fig
ured out that when Mr.. Rockefeller attends
divine worship his income foots up ex-
actly 81 .230. unless the benediction happens
to be pretty long, in which case 1t turns an
even $500. Even Addison Cammack
might be induced to attend church at this
rate.

sMOKELESS POWDER.
Will the New Explosive Supersede the
Present Powders?

Will the new Explosive Supersede the
Present Powders?
WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.-On the subject
OF smokeless powder, General Benet,
chief of the bureau of ordnance, says
Though some astonishing results have
been obtained in experiments abroad, it
cannot yet be said with certainty that
these new explosives will eventually
supersede the present powders. The
performances of the Macim Gan Ameri-
CAM and the Wetterin "a Belgian) pow
der are fairly comparable with those
claimed to be obtained abroad, and it is
hoped one of these can be developed in
time to thoroughly supersede small arms
powder.
With reference to the procurement of
modern smallbored rifles for the army,
General Benet says: A lack of suffi-
cient quantity OF suitable smokeless
powder delays the perfecting of the 80
calibre barrel, but it will be complete
by the time suitable magazine mechan-
ism is selected. 1t seems peculiarly
necessary, now that change in calibre
is contemplated, that the present
Springfield single-loading system should
be replaced, If possible, by an equally
efficient magazine system. A board
should be convened to select suitable
magazine mechanism, after full and free
competition among all the best existing
systems.
