The regular summer sea serpent is duly
reported In the neighborhood Of the Con-
necticut summer resorts, and of course the
Yankees will work him for all he IN worth
AZ a sea side attraction. The story Is that
Captain David Tuns, of the schooner Annie
Harper, was cruising along between Watch
Hill and Block Island, when late at night
he heard splashing In the wator not far
away. The disturbance seemed to be
caused by an object about hundred and
thirty feet long, and instead of concluding
that II was a school Of fish or drove of
playing porpoises, the onterprising skipper
Of the Annie Harper saw his way TO
fame, and called the disturbance a sea SER
pent. He firmly declares that 1T was in
shape and size like the main boom Of q
vessel, and was going at the rate Of ten
miles an hour"

The dogs OF Lancaster are getting very
tired of their muzzles, and their owners
are growing careless In muzzliug them, 80
that thero should be plenty of work for the
dog-catcher. Popular sympathy. however,
seems to be drifting around 10 the side of
tho dogs, for when the weather was warm
the sufferings of dog clothed in a muzzle,
which interfered with his painting, were
pitiful, and people who considered the
rarity OF hydrophobia were disposed to
risk II rather than haye thousands of dogs
tortured by muzzles. A dog has rather
warm skin covered with moro or less fur,
and In hot weather he only manages to
keep tolerably cool by making his
throat sort of ventilatiug shaft
for tho cooling Of his interior department.
The ordinary muzzle will not allow him TO
pant properly. Humane masters have pro-
vided few dogs with muzzles with NOV
able wire jaw and in these they can con-
tinuc painting but are at the mercy of the
festive flea. There are parts that dog can
not easily scratch and II Is evidently more
satisfactory to sat Il flea If possible but with
q muzzle a poor dog may shove his nose
down right on the top of flea and snarl
aud growl at it, but the irritating insect
will calmly go on torturing him. No doubt
1t Is consideration for canine feelings that
has led some owners to let their dogs 30
muzzleless and risk falling into the clutches
of the catcher, but tho animals themselves
seem to appreciate the danger. A little dog
was seen scampering for his homo closely

In connection with the recent hydro
phoba scare II has been observed that IL is
an almost universal practice to at once
shoot dog who has bitten anybody. I'm
less the dog In undoubtedly mad, and
threatens TO do more biting before he can
pe caught, this Is a great mistake. A dog
who has bitten anyone should be penned
up and watched 80 that 1t may be deter
mined whether or not he has the rabies.
TO kill him only makes IL impossible to
give the person bitten the comforting as
surauce that there is no danger from the

GIRLS AND THEIR PHOToGRAPHs.-Learn
to say no when asked for your photograph
by some one not especially dear to you.
There is in that little word much that will
protect you from evil tongues. Learn to
think that your face is too sacred to decor
ate the apartme of Tom, Dick or Harry.
no matter if each one of the three is one of
the pleasantest fellows in the world. When
the eun imprinted 10 black aud white, just
how sweet and how dainty you look, 1t did
not mean that the picture should have in
cense in the shape of tobacco smoke, or du-
bious praise in the form of discussion of
your points rendered to it. Give away your
picture with discretion. Remember that
some day will come along Prince Charming,
who will have right, the right owned by
the master of the heart, to ask for the coun-
terfeit presentmeut of yourself after he
knows that he is going to have the real girl
for his own. Think how mortified you
would be if he should discover that the CIV
ing away of your photograph has been al
most as general as the invitations to your
New Years party. Think how he will feel
# he sees yonr face looking over the mau-
tel shelf in Dicks room-Dick whom he
knows to be braggart, ard a man for
whom he has the utmost contempt! Then
just learn to say no. Don't display your
photographs to your men friends, and you
will not havs this unpleasant task; but if
you should do 1t, and have not the courage
to say tho little monosyllable, be wise and
refer them to papa.-Ladies' Home Journal.

BEAUrY-A YANKEE GIRL.

Oh. weak alike are pen and tongue
To picture pretty Mary's graces;
The amorous poets who have sung
or fairy forms and angel faces
Meier looked upon face so sweet,
An eye SO bright. cheek SO rosy.
A form so lovely, so complete,
Offema le charms 30 fair a posy.
The beauty of her face outvies
The Summer gardens rich adorning.
The tint her velvet cheek that dyes
Is like the new blown rose Of morning.
Her tresses. black as Jet. caress
A neck as white as alabaster;
Who looks upon her loveliness
Looks surely to his hearts disaster.
But not the beauty of her form
Or face. which every eye enriches,
Is lovely Mary's sweetest charm;
Her sweet demeanor more bewitches;
Her smile ia like the morning eye
When opening spring the earth reJoices
And like the richest melody
OF birds. the music of her voice Is.
But was there ever woman yet
Could stand critical inspection?
Since Eve was made. whoever met
Oue wholly free from imperfection
And Mary. darling, muses. weep;
This maiden fairer than Aurora,
Has her defect; when she's asleep
She is most tremendous sn orer

4 Virginia Woman.

A Virginia woman Of fifty years ago was
we'll read in the Bible, Shakespeare, Milton,
Young and the EuRlish classics generally,
while her taste for fiction was eatsfied by
Sir Charles Grandison's sClarissa," Miss
Buruey's "Evelins," "Dnn @ ,ixote" ard
GIL Bias" Al the same time the old
English prejudice against the "blue stock
ing" was largely entertained. The
daughter of Distinguished lawyer who
had veDtured to read "Blackstone" was
thought by her companions to be alarming
ly eccentric, and the study of the dead
languages or mathematics was deemed an
encrnacbment upon The masculine province.
No Virginia woman dared to talk politics;
IL wax considered sbockipgly unfeminipe,
and yet she must have done a great deal OF
thinking, for somehow her sons, while
babies, learned patriotism at their mother
knees.
She was eminently domestic in her habits,
skilled in needle work and dexterous ia
management. Nowhere more frequently
than in 'the Old Dominion" was to be
heard the adase "Cleanliness is akin to
godliness," and the A G of ladyhood was
thought to consist in perfect neatness. The
simplicity of good taste marked her dress,
and her ornawe euts we're apt to be few. II,
however, she wore lace or jewels they were
genuine, for she scOrned sham or preten-
sion of any sort, and was true to the core in
small things as we'll as great.
COnve' satiOn vas an art she peculiarly
exceled in. To begin with. her voice was
soft and sweet, which, added to the charm
of an address as affable as it was modest,
made whatever she said seem indeed like
'tapples of gold in pictures Of silver."-
From a mind we'll stored with information,
acquired as well by association with Guilt
waited and intelligent people from childhood
up as by steady reading, the fond mother
was won't to instruct her children while she
entertained her guests, without whose
presence Virginian country home would
seem stripped Of its crowning glory

ARE BEAUTIFUL WoMEN HAPPIEsT?-
In my life have known many women we'll.
Among them is fair majority of what the
truly appreciativs would call happy, for
which fact thank God, ,as it has helped me
to take, on the whole, hopeful view Of
life, as well as human nature. Now, are
those women, blessed as many of them are
with devoted husbands, cheerful homes,
cultivated society, and leisnre for the exer-
else of any special talent they may possess,
beautiful women? With one or two excep.
tions, No. Indeed, more than few of them
are positively plain, if feature only is con-
sidered, while from the rest can single out
but two or thres whose faces and figures
conform to any of the recognized standards
of physical perfection. But they are loved,
they are honored, they are deferred to.
While not elcting the admiration of every
passer-by, they have acquired through the
force, the sweetness, or originality of their
character, the appreciation Of those whose
appreciation confers honor and happiness,
and, consequently their days pass in an at
mOsphare of peace and goodwill which is
as far above the delirious, admiration ac-
corded to the simply beautiful, as the placid
shining of the sunbeam is to the phenomi-
nal blaze of an evanescent fame.-ANNA

ing statement of facts that you may know
the great benefit that has resulted from the
use of your specific in the case of my little
daughter, now ten years of age. The child.
when two years of age, had severe attack
of scarlet fever, which left her with shat
tered constitution. Among other evidences
Of impaired nutrition was what the doctors
called softening of the bones. In her fifth
year she happened to a slight accident
which resulted in the dislocation of the hip
joint, and from the irritation thus set up,
terrible abscesses of:the hip ensued. The
abscesses, despite the best medical treat.
ment that could be obtained, remained for
three years, discharging continuously. At
this time, through the influence Of friends,
I put her on 8. s y. When this treatment
was commenced the abscess was very largo
having SIX perforations, prs dischargins
through them all. During this treatment
several spiculs of bone came out, and by
the time she had finished her fifth bottle
the assesses had entirely healed her spps
tite and general health had been restored
in short, she was we'll and so continues.

DR.. TaImage's Celestial Dream.

One night, lying on my lounge when very
tired, my children all around me, in full
romp and hilarity, half awake and half
asleep, dreamed this dream I was in a
far country. It was not Persia, although
more than oriental Injuries crowned the
cities. 1t was not the tropics, although
more than tropical fruitfulness filled the
gardens. 1t was not Italy, although more
than Italian softness filled the air. And I
wandered around looking for thorns and
nettles. but I found that none of them
grew there, and saw the sun rise and I
watched to see it set, but it set not. And
saw the people in holiday attire, and said:
when will they put off this and put on
workmen's garb, and again delve in the
mine, and swelter at the forge ?" but they
never put off the holiday attire.
And wandered in the suburbs of the
city to find the place where the dead sleep,
and l looked all along the line of the beau
tiful hills, the place where the dead might
moAt blissfully sleep, and saw towers and
castles, but not mssoleum or monu-
meDt, or white slab was there to be seen.
And l went inso the chapel of the great
town, and said "Wbere do the poor
worship aud where are the benches on
which they sit?" and the answer was made
me, 1--WE have no poor in this country."
And then wandered out to fud the how
els of the destitute, and I found mansions
of amber and ivory and gold, but not a tear
could see, not sigh could hear, and
was bewildered, and sat down under the
branches ofa great tree, and said, Where
am I ? and whence comes all this scene
And then out from among the leaves and
up the fowery paths, and across the bright
streams there came q beautiful group
throppipg all ahont me, and as saw them
come thought knew their step and as
they shouted thought knew their voices
but they we're 80 gloriously arrayed in ap-
parel, such as had never before witnessed,
that bo we'd as stranger to stranger. But
when again they claoped their haeds aud
shouted "Weloome, Welcome - the mys-
terry all vanished, and found that time
had gone and eternity had come, and we
we're all together again in our new home in
heaven.
And looked around and said, "Are we
all here 2" and the voices of many genera
tions responded, "All here - And while
tears of gladhess we're raining down our
cheeks, and the branches Of the Lebanon
cedars were clapping their hands, and the
towers of the great city we're Ginning their
we come, we all together began to leap and
shout and sing "Home. home, home. y
