new sort Of pet dog has lately been intro
duced into England called the ''Schipperke"-
pronounced "Skipperkey." He is sure to be-
come household favorite, although hitherto
merely utility animal, having served the
boatmen on the Belgian canals for generations
as watch dog and killer of vermin. From this

few hints will not be out of place here re-
speeding the training of household dog. The
owner should take this task in hand himself
and not leave the puppy to be scolded and talked
at by every member Of the family, including
the servants The latter is a sure method of
making him turn out badly. In educating a
dog you must have patience and be at the
same time gentle and firm. You must not try
to rush the teaching. The chief secret is to get
the animal not only to love you, but to per-
suade him to believe that you love him. Never
beat your dog at all if chastisement can be
done without. Talk slowly and quietly to him
when you want him to understand and obey
command. Dogs study ones face If, for
example, you are sitting of an evening writing
or reading in a quiet room and footstep
sounds outside your dog will raise his head and
his eye will seek yours. In reply you can COM
municate to him your confidence or suspicion
far better by expression of face than by words.
Never correct dog in anger nor some time
after he has committed the OHense. Make him
know that you love him and he will try to
please you. Remember in all your dealings
with your dog that he means to do well and
tries his best Love is always the bond that
binds dog and master together.

A New sculptor.

Once to my Fancy's hall a stranger came
OF mien unwonted,
And its pale shapes OF glory without shame
Or lear confronted.
Fair was my hall-a gallery of the gods
With nvmnns snS sl,- appointed pom sSs os .,
Freshly Amounted.
Great Jove sat throned in state with Hermes near,
And hery Baechus;
Pallas and Pluto and those powers Of fear
Whose visions rack Us.
Artemis wore her crescent free of stars
The hunt just scented;
Glad Aphrodite met the warrior Mars
The myriad tented.
Rude was my vistant, Of sturdy form,
Draped in such clothing
AS the worlds great, whom luxury makes warm,
Look ON with loathing;
And yet methought his service badge Of soil
With honor wearing,
And in his dexter hand, embossed with toll,
A hammer bearing.
But while waited till his eye should sink,
Oercome with beauty,
Win heart Impotence trimming to the brink
OF courteous duty,
He smote my marbles many a murderous blow,
His weapon poisoning:
/. in my wrath and wonderment OF woe,
No comment voicing.
"Come, sweep this rubbish from the workmans
way,
Wreck Of past ages!
Anord me here lump of harmless clay,
fe grooms and pagesi"
Then from the vOidness Of our mother earth
a frame he builded,
VI new feature, with the power of birth
Fashioned and welded.
II had might mine eyes had never seen
A mien, a stature,
As II the centuries that rolled between
Had Ne.
II breathed, IL moved; above Jove's classic SWAY
place Was won 1t;
The rustic sculptor motioned, then To-day
He wrote upon il.
"What man are thou:" cried, land what this

That thou hast wrought me.
NV marbles lived On mmetry and song.
Why hast thou brought me
A form of all necessities, that asks
Nurture and feeding.
Not this the burthen Of my naidhood's task

Behold" he said. '.Life's great impersonate,
NOurished by labori
Thy gods are gone with old time faith and fate:

Another great dog that is prime favorite in
Washington is the mastih., II is an animal
bnilt for fighting. but usually very gentle and
Trustworthy. Mastifs are fond of children, az
is thecase with nearly all big dogs. They should
not be kept chained more than is necessary,

enormous appetites. and for that reason are
not well adapted for poor mems dogs.

1t is at all times better to wear out than rust

The Man Who Wanted to Build the In
terceptor Leaves Several Protested
Drafts.
There are several people in this city
who would like to sec Dan Delaney, the
man who came down here to bid on the
interceptor and afterward offered to
build it for $4,000. AS guarantee of
the faithful performance of work he
agreed to give a bond for $780, 900.
While here Delaney spent money very
freely and gave everyone to understand
that he was we'll off. Among other
things he put up money to start saloon
on Railroad avenue. When his funds
ran short no would draw draft on the
First National Bank at Joliet, Ill, and
succeeded in getting several Of these
drafts Endorsed by reputable business
men of this city.
DIR. VIM. Chatham indorsed one of
these drafts to tho amount of S275 to
enable Delaney to start his saloon. This
draft was protested and DR.. Chatham
Immediately served notice on tho men
here who are running the saloon that
this was the case and instead of sending
money to Delaney to pay it over to him
Another one of Delaney's victims is
tho firm OF j. L. Marshall & Co., who
endorsed draft for him for SI0O. This
draft was returned yesterday with tho
information that he he'd no funds in
bank. When Delaney left hero he
stated that no was going to Norfolk to
bid on some sewer work, but he did not

Chicago, taking with him man from
this city. Some of the latter gentle
mans friends received word the other
day that he was stranded and wanted
money to come home with. sSH
1t is probable thai legal action will
be taken against Delaney by the gen
tlemen he has defrauded.
