The Dog and the Bell.

That dogs become quite attached to
other things than men and places Is
clearly proved by the conduct of VIII
Thornton's pointer dog Leo. Before
the Thornton House was burned Leo
made that hotel his headquarters. and
always appeared there regularly at
meal times TO be fed, Several weeks
after the burning of the hotel the bell
which had been used on the Thornton
House was placed on the Weston
House, and the first time this bell rang
after its removal Leo was seen to run
over to the Weston House, where he
showed unmistakable signs of Joy at
the familiar sound of the bell. He had
never shown any fondness for any per-
SON at the Weston House, and the fact
that he has deserted his owner and
taken up at the new place since the
first day the bell was put up proves be-
yond doubt that his attachment for
the old bell caused him to change his

The distinction is now said to belong
to Bombay of possessing the greatest
piece of solid masonry construction that
the world has ever seen in modern times.
It appears that for years past the water
supply of Bombay depended upon works
known to be defective, involving the
possibility of water famine in that
great eastern seaport, and in view of
this consultation of eminent engineers
was held, under the direction of the
government, with the result that large
dam was determined on, to inclose the
watershed of the valley which drains
into the sea south of Bombay.
This gigantic structure, designed and
accomplished by the superior engineer
ing skill of T. G. Glover, is two miles
long, 118 feet in height, and 1O3 feet
wide at the base, with a roadway on
the top "a feet wide, the stonework
alone costing 100000. The lake
of water which this dam imprisons is
some eight square miles in area, and
sixty miles of pipe perform the service.
Twelve thousand Hindoos were special
ly trained by Engineer Glover for en-
ployment on this dam.-New York Sun.

How to Be Healthy and Hairy.

A new prophet has arisen. His claims
to attention are imperative from the fact
that he guarantees his followers exemp-
ton from two of the greatest Affections
to which fashionable flesh is heir-dys-
pepsia and badness. The name Of the
prophet is Khorf, a Russian, and he
bears his credentials writ large on his
person.
Though he has already passed the
span allotted to humanity by the
( Psalmist, he is as agile as young opos-
sum and as well matched as Absalom.
His rules of longevity are refreshingly
simple. Eschew all drugs, never shave,
live in the open air as much as possible,
and wear as little clothes as you can
these are the cardinal doctrines of n.y.
giene according to Khorf. So shall you
become healthy, happy and hairy for
in the view of the new prophet the pat
ural condition of the human being is to
be all hairy like Esau, or all downy like
Stanley's pygmies. Above all, you must
walk rhythmically," for DR.. Khorf
maintains that we digest with our legs
and not with our stomach. Meat, spirits,
mineral waters, and theaters are all Ia
booed in the Khorian system. Personally,
he never wears hat, and takes his meals
in the open air. No doubt, if this hirsute
sage's mode of life were compulsorily
enforced on the entire population we
should all be speaking Simian in a couple
of generations. If ever there is car
or an emperor who is an ardent Darwin
ian, the temptation to try the experiment
will probably prove esistible.-London

Little Edith had the habit Of eating

Her mother had frequently reproved
Edith for this reprehensible practice, but

The other evening Edith was detected at

TRANSCRIPT,
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1891-11-04
THE BIRTH OF A PRAYER.

About the church soft music flowed,
Fair voices borne on organ waves,
With tinted light the dim aisles glowed,
Like caves that sunlit water layes;
The twelve Apostles carved in stone
Looked grimly down upon the nave,
Where faces chilly as their own
No sign of kindling fervor gave.
The music and the sunshine kept
The secret of their gladness well,
AS DER our heavy souls they swept
The tale of empty praise to tell;
Nor ruby light, nor old gray walls,
Nor vested priest, nor music fair,
Nor the sweet holy hush that falls
Within a church, move hearts to prayer.
l saw gray old man bend down
His shaggy head, his furrowed face,
And, with a pleased and patient frown,
Help his wee lass to find the place;
The two heads bobbed about the page,
Roses and wtthered leaves at play;
One finger plump, one crooked with age,
Picked verse by verse the doubtful way.
Great glasses, jigging to the lines,
Braced his dim eyes the words to trace,
While the small pouter watched the signs
Of hope or failure in his face;
The knotted finger stopped at last,
So did the plump one, with an air,
And up and down such looks were cast
That in my heart was born prayer.
John Reid in Good Words.

Eskimo Mourninc Customs.

All Eskimos are superstitious about
death, and, although they hold festivals
in memory Of departed friends, they win
usually carry dying person to some
abandoned hut, there to drag out his re-
manning days without food, medicine,
water or attendance. After the death of
husband or a wife the survivor cuts
the front hair short and fasts for twenty
five days.-St. Louis Republic.

TIL. PsonIe,s Party Rally.

The peoples party rally was grsnG sue

county began to arrive early In the day on
Saturday last, and although there was no
formal parade, the number present showed
that there was no lack of enthusiasm.
There was a perfect thrOng ON the streets

were crowded with farmers wagons packed
for feeding the faithful teams. Women,
children and boys as we'll az men made up

the house by a salient point in the argument.
The speech of Mr.. Otis was logical, pow

head and clinched every point he made bv
sentence whose logic was irresistible. His
review of the history of American politics
