I'd rather have dog than a cat, any day.
Dogs can race cats, they can race other
dogs, they can race boys or anything. No
body amt scared of cat. A mouse is;
but not If it amt somewheres that it can't
get out OF, or n rat, either. A dog can
make a cat dead if he bites her enough.
When he comes in the yard he can make
her tail look like Christmas tree He
can make her fix her back up like camel.
amt afraid of thieves; but thieves are
afraid of dogs. II a thief comes where o
dog can get at him he'llrun like the deust;
but the dog won't run. A dog can watch
house better than n policeman. He won't
let the man that owns it come in the back
yard in the middle of the night; but cat
would. II n man or any other thief was to
sneak in, would a cat care? She'd go over
the fence like lightning. That's whatl A
dog knows when you're home from school.
He amt sleepy then. He has fun with old
hats, if you give him one. You've got to
pay for keeping him; but you don't cat;
because dogs some good; and a cat amt.
I'd rather have dog.-Puck.

An Amusing Game.

The players in this game are divided into
two opposing sides and sit in two half
circles at the same distance every way
around q gentlemans silk hat placed
on the floor in the center Two
differently colored packs OF cards
are then given, one to each party, and
by them equally dealt out to each player.
The aim is for each player to throw card
into the hat In the center, which is not
nearly SO easy thing to do as may be sup
posed, and the floor is soon Uttered with
the cards which fail to go into the hat. The
game is played till both packs are exhaust
ed; then those cards that are In the hat are
counted, and the side that has most Of its
own color wins. This game may also be
played by each player being singly opposed
to each other and by the players standing
up instead of sitting, 1t requires q consid-
erable knack to do it well and TO throw the
card In such manner that 1t falls into the
hat

Belief In Sickness,

1t is very old observation that domi-
nant idea is valuable in controlling the
human being, and whether it be in the
bearing of pain or in the devotion which
leads the Turk to die conteutedly before
the Russian bullets, belief is afactor that
may be turned to great advantage. In
directly, Christian science may prove an
aid TO medical science. The intelligent
physician of today could receive no
greater aid in the scientific practice of
his profession than to beemancipated by
his patients from the obligation invari-
ably to prescribe drug When people
are willing to employ physicians 10 order

The Size OF Skirts.

The foundation of skirts for ordinary
walking purposes is described by an En-
glish modiste as straight back % Z inches
wide, front of 90 inches, tapering to 121S
inches at the waist, and one gore at each
side, Is inches at the hem and 10 inches at
the waist. For evening wear this Ia in
creased by wider back, and often by an
additional side gore; but it is quite impos-
sible to lay down any hard or fast rule, for
the cut of evening skirts entirely depends
on the style in which they are made and on
the material. Many of them now are made
on the old plan with cross cut breadths.

A Valuable Mineral Discovery.

A Quebec correspondent calling atten-
ton to remarkably valuable discovery in
minerals, states that in Lower Canada
there has been found an entire mountain
composed of silicates, otherwise known as
vitrifable stone, OF a purity certified by
the provincial engineer to average 9S per
cent. This material is used for the manu-
facture of the finest glass; and is believed
to exist nowhere else ON the American con-
tipent in such purity.

and Association in the present unpleasant
ness. Reilly played third base for the Co
lumbus club last year, and signed with
them for the present season. When the
new baseball war broke out he got bet
ter offer from the Pittsburg League club,
and concluded to cast his fortunes with
the Smoky City boys. The courts will act
as umpire in the matter.
Reilly was born at Princeton, N. j.,
twenty flour years ago. In 1887 he entered
the professional lists, and has since played
with the Savannah club Of the Southern
league, the Eau Claire club Of the North
western league, the st. Paul club of the
Western association and the Columbus
team.

Experiments recently made in Germany
have added convincing evidence to a fact
already noted-to wit, the variability Of
terrestrial latitudes-for example, the lat
titudes of Berlin, Potsdam and Prague,
diminished between August, 1889, and
February, $780, about half a second Of arc.
In the latter year, between April and
August, the latitude Of Berlin increased
four-tenths of second. In other words,
Berlin is nearer the North Pole in summer
than in winter. The periodicity of these
variations would indicate that the direc.
tion of the earth's axis, under the influence
of some external or internal disturbance,
was changing.

bent into the shape Of a V. This serves as
Il balancing pole, and when the figure Is
placed OH the board it brings the center Of

its upright position. II now the 'pedes-

toward the lower end, throwing his weight
from one foot to the other in a quite natu
raj manner. When It il considered that
there is no machinery at all concealed in
the figure the result is quite surprising,
but Is easily explained as the result Of the
slight oscillatory motion given to the fig
ure by the balancing wire. 1t Is, in fact, a
pendulum, and as it swings from side to
side the point Of support is shifted auto
matically from one foot of the figure to the
other, while the weight of the whole causes
