HAVE YOU GOT a DOG?
II so, by All Means Keep Him in the
House in the Night Time.

"If there had been dog in Secretary Tracy's
house the other nisht-even though it were
only measly yellow cur-this awful disaster
would not have occurred; at all events, there
would have been no loss Of life"
1t was the policeman patroling Farragut
square who made the remark III conversation
with a STAR reporter.
"Why," he continued, 81 consider a dog in
the house at night of as much importance for
protection against fire as to scare away robbers.
The animal is always on the alert to warn his
master and the family of anything that NAV
appear TO be wrong. II anything like flames
or smoke excite his attention 10 will at once
begin barking. The very smell of fire will
start him to giving loud alarm. Nobody
knows better than he the dangers of burning.
He Is always on the watch rs he lies outside mis-
masters door for the safety of the household.
L should never think of being without dog at
night II my own dwelling, and tell you that
II there had beea sach a four-legged friend
domiclled within the Secretary's walls last Sun
day night the deaths would never have &C.
Cured. The family would have been awakened
as quickly as the smell OF smoke became per-
eeptible TO the beasts keen nostrils by vocif-
erous barking. instead of being left to be slowly
sufocated in their sleep. Ali would have got
ten out safely and the very house would prob
ably have escaped destruction. Therefore,
say, keep dog aud have him In the house at
night"

THE FISH IN THE BOWL.
Probably the most popular trick that was
ever invented is the production of bowls OF wa
ter and fish from handkerchief II Is usti-
ally the first one that attracts the attention
of the ambitious amateurs. Many fail once,
and never attempt it again. failure can al
any time take place; even the great Hermann
often fails in it, and has repeatedly drenched
himself with water, losing both dish and rubber
cover on the floor, for il il done with a rubber
cover that fits snugly over a glass bowl. The
bowl is filed with water to about a half inch
from the top and the cover put on after the
fish placed in the water, though these are
often omitted; then the bowl is placed under
the armpit. Usually three bowls are used. one
under each arnpit and one in a sack hung be-
hind the vest under the coat ANY large hand
kerchief is used and thrown carelessiy over
the shoulder, under cover of which the bowl
is gotten ont into the hand, and the hand
kerchief is removed, taking with it the rub

usually about inches across the smaller
