This dog set me musing. As his lachry-
NOSE eye suggested, he WAS an animal Of
much feeling. And yet he was supernat-
urally sagacious. his mode OF life had
evidently been thought out in as careful
and ~philosophic a way as that Of Epicurus
himself. He reasoned that for him at least
the bonum consisted in a Judi
olous mixture of permanence and change,
uniformity and variety. Others before him
had reached the same conclusion. But his
originality cannot be questioned. He had
evidently thought out the problem of ca
nine felicity for hiH,self, and without the
least help from human philosophers. And
his solution of the problem has much to
recommend IL.

Photography plays queer pranks with its
subjects sometimes. \ photograph often
flashes out n family resemblance that had
never been noticed in a face until then. A
photograph has a way also Of telling on
people sometimes. The hidden cruelty or
%sensuality, or vanity, or deception comes
TO light under the searching Of the sun,
however successfully the mans will or
craft may conceal it ordinarily. A rascal
is running a risk when he has his photo
graph taken. His friends may see what
he Is trying to hide, 1t was James who
wrote that remarkable story, The Liar"
There was an artist who painted a portrait
Of the husband Of the woman he had once
loved himself. When the portrait was
finished, the husband and wife, and not
only they, but all the world, saw on the
canvas the face of a liar.
What the artist did on that occasion is
what the sun often does, 1t tells the truth
that the man has hidden so successfully.

At Broome street she was visibly irri-

old gentleman who happened to be deeply

conductor. This was her chance, and she

to bear on him for all she was worth. It
was very exasperating. The mild appear
ing nan did not even look up. No one APP
peared to take the slightest notice of her
and she became desperate. She would Sc
cure a seat at all hazards.

The Empress Maria Theresa was left a
widow at an age when her beauty was yet
striking. She was secretly informed OF a
scheme projected by her three principal
ministers, 20 make themselves agreeable to
her; OF a compact made between them that
the losers should not suffer themselves to
he infected with any feeling Of jealousy to-
ward him who should be fortunate enough
to gain his sovereign's heart; and they had
sworn that the successful one should be
always the friend and support OF the other
two. The empress, being well assured Of
thisf fact. one day, after the breaking up OF
the council over which she had presided,
turned the conversation upon the subject
OF women, female sovereigns and the
duties OF their sex and rank.
Then applying her general reflections to
herself in particular, she told them she
hoped TO guard herself all her life against
weakness OF the heart, but thai II ever an
irresistible feeling should make her alter
her resolution It should be only in favor
OF a man proof against ambition. not en-
gagged in state affairs, accustomed and at

enjoyments-in a word, II her heart should
betray her so far as to lead her to love a
man invested with n important Office,
from the moment he should discover her
sentiments he should be contented to re
sign his place and his influence with the
public. This was sufficient. The three
ministers, more ambitious than gallant.

The proprietor OF a large cafe and res
taurant down town thinks he has solved
the problem Of how to keep an eye on two
or three score Of employees at the same
time. His place is a veritable beehive for
two or three hours in the middle of the
day, and in order to keep the employees
well up to their duties il became necessary
to make them feel that the wdtchful eye
OF the employer was on them all the time.
To effect this an ingenious arrangement Of
mirrors was devised. a dozen of them
were built into the wainscoting in such a
way that they not only formed a rich orna-
mentation to the place, but they enabled a
man at the cashiers desk to view every
nook and corner of the room without turn
ing his head.-New York Times.

AhndyS open
the offer made by the proprietors
of DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy. It's
a reward of $500 cash for an in
durable case of catarrh, no matter
how bad, or of how long standing.
They'll carry it out, too. It's one
thing to make the offer. It's a very
different thing to make it good. It
couldn't be done, except with an
extraordinary medicine. But that's
what they have. By it's mild,
soothing, cleansing and healing
properties, DR.. Sage's Remedy cures
the worst cases. 1t doesn't simply
palliate for a time, or drive the dis
ease to the lungs. 1t produces a
perfect and permanent cure. Try
it and see.
If you can't be cured, you'll be
paid.
The only question is-are you
willing to make the test, if the
makers are willing to take the
risk
If so, the rest is easy. You pay
your druggist fifty cents and the
trial begins.
If you're wanting the $500 you'll
