A Badger Made Docile.

The shy, fierce badger has ottel enough
been found amenable t, gentle Treatment,
provided his education begins in early life;
but probably few OF his tribe have ever
proved so docile MS domesticated badger

animal, it is stated, manifests the greatest
delight when her master approaches.
Taken out of her cage She waddles-for
she is very fat-after lin up and down
the lawn, and appears perfectly happy.
Tie terriers are regarded by perfect indif-
ference. Between her and the cat, on the
other hand, it is admitted that "no love is
lost" but even that seems to be mainly the
fault of the cat, who will occasionally Gle.
vate her back, but loses heart when with
in springing distance" This interesting
pet WAS captured, it appears, when cub

cooked meat, which may account for her

An Effective Signal.

"It doesn't seem to be generally known"
said railroad telegraph operator yester-
day, that where the block system is in
use travellers are protected ut night whether
the operator in the signal tower stays awake
or not. Every lamp signal has three glass
slides to tired, green and white. The red
Is the outermost, the green next and the
while inside that. To allow train to pass
the tower the operator has to pull down the
red slide by cord and hold it down. Direct
ly he lets go the red light goes in position
again. He is not allowed to do anything
else. So that if he goes to sleep or is taken
sick the danger signal always bars ths
way."-Pittsburg Dispatch.

There is no doubt that one portion of the
pody of Gen. Wayne. the hero of Stony
Point-"Alad Anthony" as he was popu-
larly termed-was inferred at the place
where he died, and the other in his native
county. His original burial place was
Fort Presque isle, upon the site of which
the city of Erie, Pa, now stands: the other
locality honored rs his last resting place is
Radnor cemetery, in Chester county, Pa
This curious circumstance was brought
about in the following manner:
In the year 1878 the family OF this famous
man was given permission to remove his
dust to Rldnor, but upon opening the
grave it was found that the body was part
~ petritied, and consequently very heavy.
A medical friend of the family, recogniz-
ing the fact that it would be very diff.
cult and costly task to transport the re-
mains ID that condition. determined as far
rs possible to remove the petrified flesh
from the bones, and this was accordingly
done. The bones We're then carefully
packed up and delivered to the son, who
was kept in ignorance Of the operation, and
he conveyed the box containing the pre-
cious portions of hi, fathers body to his
native county, where they were inferred
with appropriate ceremonies.
a monument was erected in 1909 over
the grave by the Pennsylvania Society OF
the Cincinnati What remained of the
warrior was reinterred mt Fort Presque
Isle, and some years ago w;is discovered in
the same state of preservation rs when iirst
exhumed, in a box bearing his name. An
other memorial stone was raised III that
place, and thus was commemorated the
fact that all that WAS mortal OF "Mud An.

"Goiuc Down TO s1ar,,s."

He was queer old man who boarded the
train at u small station in western New
York. Two young men, who were proba-
bly, his sons, brought him to the steps Of
the car and helped him on, and as he en-
tered we saw that he leaned heavily on .
cane and was very feeble.
1.-The children kept at me till I had to
promise to CO." he said as he sat down.
"Haint bin down to Mary's in five years.
and I've got so old Idasn't wait any longer.
It's purity tough on an old man like me,

good gal, and she married good man.
You'll tell Inc when 1 git there, won't
you?'
ooh, yes"
"'Cause they'll all be there at the depot
to meet me. My son Steve writ that was
coming"
He had about forty miles to go. and when
he was anxious for fear that he would be
carried by the right one. After that he
leaned over on the window and fell asleep.
Just before the train arrived at - tho
man who had spoken to him turned about
and said:
Come, grandpa, you get off here"
The old man did not move. and the
stranger arose and shook his arm and said:
"Wake up, grandpa! This is your sta
ton, and Mary and the grandchildren are
waiting. Come now"
But he spoke to the dead. The old man
had died while he slept-passed away SC
peacefully that not line of his face had
changed. And we We're yet stunned and

three happy children came hurrying into

iSonaethiag IS lost
when you use DR.. Sage's Catarrh
Remedy. It's Catarrh. The worst
cases yield to its mild, soothing,
cleansing, and healing PROPERTIES.
No matter how bad your case, or of
how long standing, you can be cured.
Incurable cases are rare. It's worth
$500 to you, if you have one. The
manufacturers of DIR. Sage's Remedy
are looking for them. They'll pay
YOU that amount In cash, if they
can't cure you. It's a plain square
offer from a responsible business
house, and they 'nean it. 1t seems
too one-sided, too much of a risk
1t would be-with any other medi-
cine behind it. 1t only goes TO prove
what's been said incurable cases
are rare-with DR.. Ssge's Cat2rrh
Remedy.
Other so-called remedies may pal
late for time this cures for all
time. BY its mild, soothing, cleans
ing and healing properties, 1t con-
ouers the worst cases. 1t removes
offensive breath, loss or impairment
of the sense of taste, smell or hear
ing, watering or weak eyes, when
caused by the violence of Catarrh,
as they all frequently are.

DOGS DETERIORATING.
Noluptuous Ease L. spelling the Canine
Race.


While the grander sort of dog has
been morally degraded by being turned
into useless laclley the breeds that
have happened to suit the capricious
and errant fancies of animal PETERS
have undergone still deeper deteriora-
tion, says the Cornhill Magazine. The
sleek pug, for instance. on whom Is
often lavished such wealth Of feminine
fondness, has long since become per-
fectly aware Of his new function ia the
house. He knows ne is the first pet
and he is perfectly happy IN the fact
His mind seems untroubled by any rec
objection of a higher estate. He has
lost the ancient desire of the species to
be mans loyal servant. He may. per-
haps. if You happen To call at the house
and find him in exclusive possession of
the drawing-room, make a pretense of
resisting your intrusion. But his Syb-
aritic habits are too much for him and
presently he sinks in voluptuous slun-
bers on the softcst Of Sofa-cuShions.
These spoiled creatures learn TO take
the fondlings bestowed upon them as a
matter of course They are wholly un-
demonstrative, and perhaps the most
fiattering thing that can be said of them
is that, unlike their rival, the eat, they
do not simulate a tenderness of which
their heart is wholly destitute.

ROYALTY AT TABLE.

\ Dinner Given in Vienna to the King
and Queen of italy.
There is no table in the whole world
that is served so daintily or artistically
rs that of the Austrian court, says the
American Analyst. The damas< is so
fine that il looks like satin, and for
lunch or afternoon tea Is replaced by
heavy. whit, silk cloths and napkins,
edged with point de Neuise and adorned
with the imperial crest in raised gold
embroidery. The viands are prepared
50 preltiy that it seems almost a pity
to break up and eat them. and the
fairies themselves might feast on the
tempting pieces montees prepared by
the artist that presides over the i'm
perial kitchens.
Particularly I remember a dinner
given in honor of the king and queen Of
Italy at the Hofburc. in Vienna, some
years ago, as the eliminating point of
luxury combined with the most refined
and exquisite taste. The tablecloth
was strcwn with forced violets. nesting
so close TO one another that they formed
perfect bank of fragrant blossoms.
leaving only room for the plates of
semi-transparcnt Sevres OF the Familie
Rose, each of which was surmounted
with thick garland of marguerites.
Marguerite being the Christian name of
the queen of Italy, her little namesake
had been used with great profusion in
the decoration of the festive board.
Before the plate OF each lady slender
tulip-shaped vase of Venetian glass
mounted in fnely-wrought gold con-
tanned a bouquet of marguerites and
violets, powdered with diamond dust.
The menus We're engraved on thin
sheets of hammered silver, with the
Austrian eagle embossed on the corner
Everything was served on gold dishes.
and the dessert plates were "A marvel of
beauty worthy of Benvenuto-Celliui
When the sorbetS We're placed before
the distinguished guests a faint muir
mur of admiration was audible. For
even the blase eyes OF people satiated
with every form of luxury were
charmed with the little double-headed
eagles made of dclicately-spun sugar,
rlrched on pale pink glass ball con-
t..ining tiny electric light. On the
back of each diIninutive bird was a
large daisy also made of spun sugar.
wherein the sorbets were served. and
the gold plates on which the whole
rested We're garlanded with Parma
violetS.
The dinner was really what one may
describe without eNaggeration as being
the apotheosis of gastronomy. The
dIning-hall, scented as with dreamy in
censcs and lighted with mellow wax
candles, the soft briiliancy OF which
would have entranced even Lucullus
had he been throned there on his ivory
chair, was a sight 20 ho remembered
