a Distressing Scene OF Misery Among

OF all sad sights which a great city
has to offer there can be nothing more
pathetic or terrible than the wretched-

As the car stopped at the Lake Street

one ABOUT fourteen and the other, in
size a child of four or five, but with a
face of twenty five. came close to the
car and began an impromptu concert.
The older girl fingered squealy ac-
Gordon and sang in shrill loud voice,
"My Bonnie is Over the Ocean," while
the Younger one kept time by syvaying
her body, without lifting her feet from
the pavement
Dance Dance shouted out the
older girl, stopping her singing; and
the little, pale, faded, emaciated hui
man monkey began a sort of shutting
dance which shook her ragged stock

to draw sympathy and money, and sue

and went through the car, nearly every

CANINE AFFECTION.
Some Observations on Mans Unseihsh
Eria

Some Observations ON Mans Unselhsh
Friend.
It has often been mooted as a vexed
question why all men of genius or
greatness are so fond of dogs The
reason is not far to seek. Those who
are great or eminent in any way find
the world full of parasites, toadies,
liars, fawners, hypocrites; the incor-
ruptible candor, loyalty, and honor of
the dog are to such like water in a
barren place to the thirsty traveller.
The sympathy of your dog is unfailing
and unobtrusive. If you are sad, so is
he: and if you are merry, none is so
willing to leap and laugh with you as
he. For your dog you are never poor;
for your dog you are never old; whether
you are in a palace or a cottage he does
not care; and fall you as low as you
may, you are his providence and his
idol still. The attachment of the dog TO
man outweighs and almost obliterates
attachment in him to his own race.
There is something shocking to
our high opinion of him in the
callousness with which he will
sniff at the stiff body of brother-dog;
he will follow his master to the grave,
and sometimes die on il; but the loss of
his own kind leaves him unmoved /

this; it was, however, a noteworthy
one. / had two puppies of the Molus-

named Pan and Paris. lived together;
fed. played and slept together. and
were never separated for moment for
seven months In the seventh month
Paris fell i'll of distemper and died.
Now, by my own observation | can de-
clare that Pan nursed his brother as
assiduously as any boy could have
nursed another; licked him, cleaned
him, brought him tempting bits to eat;
did all that he could think of, and when
his brother at last lay there cold and
unresponsive to his efforts, his grief
and establishment were painful to see.
From that Tins he ceased to play; from
being a very lively dog he grew grave
and sad: he had a wistful. wondering
inquiry in his eyes which it was pathetic
to behold: and although he lived for
many years after, and was happy as a
dog can be. he never recovered his
spirits: he had buried his mirth in the
grave of Paris. Something was lost
for him with his brother which he
never regained. This is the only in
stance I have known of dogs love for
another dog. -Ouida, in North Amcri-
can Review.

Coral Pink Gowns.

The prevailing fancy for pink has
brought into vogue a new shade, called
coral pink, to which yellowish tints are
added that make 1t almost salmon color.
1t is most effective when trimmed with

touch is given to such gown by a belt
of wide velvet ribbon, shading from
coral-color on one edge. through golden
brown, to bright corn-fiower blue on
the other edge. This is softly folded
around the waist and fastened with a
chou on the left side. Pink coral cloths
