''TAPPY."
The knowing Dog Of the Boulevsrds.

MRS. Hooper in Philadelphia Telegraph
have recently had my attention called to
a dog that has definitely taken his place
amongst the public personages of Paris. The
police edict forbiddiDg any dog to appear in
the streets without collar bearing his mas
ter's namo and address has had the excellent
effect Of clearing away whole army OF ca
nine tramps that used to lead precarious
existence hanging around the restaurants on
the Palals Royal and on the principal streets,
a half starved and wholly miserable race.
There was one Of these, shabby but sharp
looking cur, with q shaggy black coat and a
white SPOT over one eye, which was wont to
frequent the Boulevard des Capucines, that
attracted one day the notice Of famous and
dashing ex-actress. who conceived the idea
of taking the poor brute under her protee-
ton She bought him a collar and had en-
graved upon IL the very slangy and untrans-
latable name Of "Tape-en-rell," with ION
the Boulevards" as an address. Some
naughty boy stole the collar forthwith, and
the dog was straightway captured and con-
veyed to the pound. But his protectress
sought him out, paid the fine, bestowed on
him q new collar, an restored him to his
usual haunts, saving good word for him to
the policemen Of the quarter.
Since then "rappy," AS he Is Familiarity
called by his American frie ds, has enjoyed
the run Of the streets. He Is well known in
all the cafes and the shops on the Boulevard
des Capucines and on that OF the Madeleine.
He breakfasts at the Grand Cafe, where the
habitues have become well acquainted with
him, and give him not only pats and kind
words, but savory mOrsels as well. He
takes his afternoon siesta on the door-mat
In front of the Office OF the French Steam
ship Company, or else on that before the en-
trance to Dievlafait's dry goods shop. He
dimes either at the Grand Hotel OF at the
Cafe American.
After nightfall when the hour for closing
the shops arrives, he watches his chance,
and, while the shopmen are putting up the
shutters at one Of the establishments he IA
vors. he will slip through the open door and
will take .possession Of some warm corner
wherein to pass the night. But Tappy's
most intelligent proceeding Is the degree OF
precaution he viii take before venturing 10
cross the street. He has been run over, so
before traversing the crowded boulevard, he
Will look out for some cautious and careful
foot passenger, will stick close TO his or her
side, aud so get across In safety.

AN Illinois GIRLS NEW NOSE.
Another Queer Experiment. In Sur
gerry.
Decatur, ILL.,. Letter to st. Louis Globe-Demo

decatur, ILL.,. Letter to St. Louis Globe-Demo
The patient ls young woman. who when
4 child had her nose broken, and as result
Of the decay OF the bones following this In
jury, the bridge Of the nasal organ had been
completely lost, producing most unsightly
deformity-a complete fiatness between the
eyes. and the end Of the nose turning direct
ly outward instead OF dOwnward-all pro-
ducing picture which, to say the least. was
extremely annoying to sensitive young
lady. She had visited many Of the best sur
geons In ST. Louis and Chicago, but none OF
them would advise interference. The ma
ture and prospects of tho operation having
been explained to her by the Decatur surgeon
she was anxious for the trial. The patient was
etherized and a transverse inclsion about
three quarters Of an inch long made directly
between the eyes, extending down TO the
bone. A small chisel gwas then introduced
into the wound and all the soft parts sepa-
rated from the bones, from the tip OF the
nose to the forehead and about an inch on
either side Of the median line out on the
cheeks. When this hal been done half
grown cat was quickly chloroformed and
pieces Of four ribs, each two inches In lenktn
were taken from its side, rapidly cleaned Of
wound which had been made on the patients
face so that they raised up the skin over
them, thus forming good solid bridge. The
operation was done with all the modern an
tiseptic precautions. and wound sewed up
and sealed. There was absolutely no sign OF
irritation or inflammation following. The
wound healed in four or five days, and the
very slight scar, lying as 1t d0rs In the
natural wrinkle at the root Of the eyebrows,
Is almost invisible. The bones have now
grown solidly together. and the patient Is de-
lighted In being the possessor of nose as
pIesentable in its graceful contour as those
pier young lady it would be difficult TO find
anywhere in the world. DIR William Bauer
is the name of the Decatur surgeon who
alone performed this pioneer operation In
boue grating for the nose.
