Dr.. shelby's New Dog.

DR.. Shelby bought dog the other
day. A negro came marching in lead
ing a liver-colored pup that struck
the Doctors fancy. He said he knew
the dog was water spaniel as soon
as his eyes res ed on the canine, and
he was bound to have him. He very
quickly struck a bargain, paid the
negro SO and took the pup home.
The Doctor, however, was not fully
satisfied he knew the pup came of
fine breed because he was an extra
fine pup for his age, and he called on
G. II. Peterson for his pedigree, as
the negro ted him the pup was
brought up on the creek and had be-
come skilled already in diving for
ducks, fish and the like. MIR. Peter
son told DR.. Shelby Eyes; he had
known the pup for the past five or
six years that he was dog Of some
character and reputation, and was
near related to seven distin. uished
families, the pointer, the spaniel, the
shepherd, the fox hound, bulldog,

The Use of tho Voice.

Among the small things, as generally
considered, but great ones as l look at
them, is the use of the voice. Here is a
sample of very common conversation,
such as we hear in many homes: "Maria,
did you tell Tom to go for the milk"
"Heh?" "Did you tell Tom what I said?"
"What did you tell me to tell him?' ITO
go for the milk" No reply. Then comes
the question again, maria, will you tell
me if you sent Tom" "Yes, l. did,"
Here is great waste of both time and
strength, and generally of patience as
well. The habit with many people is
very persistent not to answer directly,
but to first compel repetition of ques-
ton or a remark. In the course Of a
year such duplicate remarks, if put to-
gether, would make a large volume.
The habit should be formed of careful
listening and direct responding. Some
persons respond Indirectly in order to
gain time. They are made up with a
lack of ightforwardness. They never
wish to commit themselves promptly.
but most persons who indulge the habit
are simply needless and Indifferent to
others rights. A few have preoccupied
minds, and question has to be repeated
two or three times to get through the
circumambient meditation. = Mary e.
Spencer in St. Louis Globe Democrat.

A Hermit with Millions.

The coming novelist who will dissect
American character and hold it up to
the wonder or admiration of the world
will find something worth studying in
the life of the hermit of New York and
Newport who has just died and left
behind him the S10.000,000 he ached to
take away with him beyond the grave.
For ten years Edmund Fl. Schermer-
horn had lived in a literally palatial
mansion at Newport, with his gates
locked against all but his physician,
surrounded only by servants, and living
in parsimony which contrasted strangely
with his once spendthrift ways. In my
boyhood l had heard of him as the gay
est of gay young men about town. and
afterward as entertaining the fashiona-
BILE world at lavish expense in his
Twenty-third street residence.
Then, after awhile, he wearied of So
cial pleasures, drew more and more
within his cell, became recluse and
scholar, and finally grew utterly unso-
cial. A bachelor of seventy-fve when
he died on Thursday, he belonged to
one of the oldest of New York families.
Why the wild and luxurious bachelor
leader Of society became transformed
into the unsocial recluse is one Of the
secrets at which his friends can only
guess--they allege disappointment in
love-and which the novelist can spell
out to suit himself. f.-Philadelphia Rec

An Artists Mansion.

Sir Frederick Leighton, Bart, P. r.
A, is at present enjoying himself in the
beautiful town of Perugia, the air of
which is most invigorating. Electric
light is being laid in the presidents
house, in Holland Park road. The splen-
did eastern hall, paved with tiles from
Damascus, with the fountains and
couches of exquisite workmanship, will
now be lit By the electric light. So will
the drawing room, with its fine speci-
mems of Corots paintings representing
the seasons, and the handsome dining
room. The large studio, with its price
less treasures, will be properly illumi-
mated.
The fountain at one time had no rail-
ing. One evening after one of Sir Fred
erick Leighton's epicurean feasts, the
hall not being sufficiently lit, several Of
the academicians stepped into the foun-
tain and got thoroughly wet; popular
painter had to borrow pair Of the
presidents trousers, much to the amuse-
ment of his brethren of the brush, as
the garments did not fit him; but the
strong electric light will put an end to
any more of these uncomfortable adven-
tures.-London Star.

FIVE CENTS.
lna CRAZY EaS..

Street peddlers have a new catch
penny device on their trucks that is
quite an amusing thing for old as well
as young folks. They call it the crazy
ball." and it is well named. For ten
cents you can buy one of these things
and see the laws Of gravity defed. It
looks like an ordinary wooden ball. about
the size of tennis ball, but you can't
roll it in a straight line to save you or
course the secret Of the things queer
actions lie in the fact that it is loaded
on one side. This makes every move
ment of the ball eccentric. It will roll
up hill of its own accord, and it will re-
fuse to roll down hill. If you try to roll
1t from you it will perhaps start out all
right, and then turn around and roll
back, or maybe it will go off sidewise
and describe wobbly circle around
you. All its movements are jerly and
spasmodic. Give it to kitten to play
with and the chances are that the kitten
will go mad, while baby will cry with
vexation over its eccentricities. A grown
person who is not up in spherical geom-
etry will assure you that it is wonderful.
1t is not. 1t is only some sharp fellows
way of gathering in the dimes. Never
theless, ere long the city will be flooded
with these "crazy balls."-New York

2 1t only remains for congress to
admit the new state.
8. For this no legal forms are re-
quired.
4. There should be united action of
the counties to be represented in the
new state, calling an election of dele
gates to constitutional convention.
This convention should frame consti-
tuition, submit the same to vote of the
people, and upon its adoption and cub
mission to congress, and the act of con-
grees admitting The new state, the work
would be complete.
5. The election should conform to
the present election laws.

subject OF state division, which met at

gates were present from San Diego, San

rh. pur.tinr Of . n,r wheel.

The bursting of the great fly wheel
or perhaps more properly the driving
wheel-in one Of the mills of Manches-
ter, N. H., illustrates the ever present
danger hidden in the use of modern ma
chinery. There does not appear to have
been carelessness or even an accident
which usual caution or foresight could
have prevented. The automatic COVER
nor regulating the supply of steam to
the engine seems to have become clogged,
the engine suddenly speeded up and the
great wheel was set whirling at pace
that tore it into pieces by the enormous
centrifugal force thus generated, scatter
ing the entire building over the country

A Dust storm In simia.

A curious phenomenon occurred in
Simla recently on two successive nights.
This was nothing less than a dust storm
in the midst of downpour of rain, or
rather, to speak more correctly, Shove.
of mud. A column of dust seems to
have been carried up into the higher at
mosphere from the plains and to have
been caught and forced down by the
heavy rain. In the morning, as result,
all the plants and flowers in Simla were
found to have received thick coating
Of mud. There could be no doubt that
the mud had been rained down, for it
was freely sprinkled on plants away
from the hillside and at great height
from the ground. Moreover deposit
of mud was found in the rain gauges in
various parts of the station. It is a
common thing to see the atmosphere in
the hills during the hot season thick with
dust from the plains, carried aloft by a
strong wind. But the conjunction Of
rain and dust is an accident of which,
it is stated, there is no previous record.

length, and at the thickest part of its

in circumference. 1t is perfectly form
ed reptile, but with an extra large head.
Mr.. jackson accidentally killed it by
spilling few drops of petroleum on it.

Colors Of Women.

Balzac, the French author, says that a
woman's character finds expression in
her favorite color. A woman who pre-
fers orange or green gowns is, he thinks,
quarrelsome. Those who sport yellow
hats or who go clad in black without
cause are not to be trusted. White
should indicate coquetry. Gentle aud
thoughtful women prefer pink. Pearl
gray is the color of women who consid-
er themselves unfortunate. Lilac is the
shade particularly affected by overripe
beauties; therefore lilac hats are mostly
worn by mothers on their daughters
marriage day and by women more than
forty years old when they 60 visiting
