On the Best Authority.

A story is told OF q trial for bur
glary in which one of the jurymeD
seemed to be SO certain Of the prison
er's innocence, and pleaded for him SC
eloquently and SO convincingly, that
the eleven others (who had no par
ticular bias either wey) allowed
themselves to be argued into return
ing verdict of not guilty" A few
days later fresh facts came to light
which proved the accused mans in
nocence beyond doubt, and one of
the eleven wavering jurymen hap
pening to meet with the man who
had so powerfully influenced them
all thanked him warmly for having
saved them from the commission of
a great injustice.
And yet, now think of it, he
added, you could not have known
then anything about these new facts,
so how could you be SO sure the
man was innocent2"
"WeI," replied the other, my
chief reason for thinking that he did
not commit the crime was that !
committed it myself.
Such authority was certainly not
to be disputed. .-Harper's.

Although the Pacific covers more
than half the surface of the globe,
and has an area estimated roughly
at 90,000,00 square miles, yet its
coast line, even including that
of the Indian ocean. is but 1900
miles, or about 5000 miles less than
that of the Atlantic. The shores of
the Atlantic are very deeply indented
by large seas, of which the Baltic
and Mediterranean are the most re-
markable. Beside these the greatest
lateral seas and CULTS in the Atlantic
are the Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean
sea, Hudson's bay and the Bay of
Biscay. If we take from the Pacific
the Red sea, Arabian sea and Bay of
Bengal. which are part of the Indian
ocean, we leave it with a remarkably
straight coast line, with the excep-
ton Of few deep indentations on
the coast of Asia.
1t is owing to free impenetration
of land and water, and consequent
ease of communication between one
country and another that the most
civilized nations of the world, with
few exceptions, have lived and now
live on the shores of the North At
lantic and its lateral seas. Brooklyn

Care of Pet Dogs.

The pet dog Is passing through a
trying time. What with his long
coat of hair, the dog catcher and the
fleas, life is indeed a burden. 1t is
an odd bit of information, which may
be news to some, that the reason
dogs suffer so from the heat and
pant SO is because they never per-
spire. In fact, no other animal than
man does perspire save the horse,
and the COW does tiny bit just
above her nose.
The long haired canine pet is a
tlin. Of much attention. The watch
full al: wary can avoid the dog
catcher, but no one can guard against
the flea. The best way to abate the
nuisance is to each morning rub
thoroughly into the hair of the dog
a goodly quantity of Persian insect
powder. The dog should first be
laid on a large white cloth amply
strewn with the powder, then comb
industriously, and the fleas will every
one drop off, being stupefed by the
powder.
This course is advised in prefer
ence to too much washing with dog
soap, as the soap only partially does
away with the fieas and makes the
coat too dry and harsh. To cut the
hair makes it grow out coarser and
heavier-in fact, ruins the texture,
as the soap does the gloss and smooth
ness. New York Herald.

An Independent Cook.

that NJ. Pierre was too well aware of
the influence which his cookery eX-

him, on three hours notice, to pre-
pare a dinner for the Austrian min
lister, he protested energetically.

Variations of tho Compass OF Columbus.
AS the astute Genoese well OWNED
the dread which the ever increasing
distance was certain to arouse, he
kept two logbooks, one for himself
and the other for the crpw. In the
former he recorded the actual run,
in the latter a lesser distance, by
which device he diminished the fears
and restrained the impatience Of his
susceptible shipmates. But in doing
this an unforeseen complication arose.
Their sure guide, the compass, that
ever had pointed fixedly to the
north, began to waver. Although
this phenomenon had been known
for two centuries-though many say
it had never been observed until
then-the crew gave themselves up
for lost and imagined that for them
even the fixed point was shifting, as
though God had cast them off. Co
lumbus recognized the necessity of
explaining this phenomenon as he
had explained volcanoes. But the
explanation was not easy, for while
the volcanoes were like others al
ready known it was impossible to
understand or explain the variation
of the needle by any familiar fact or
experience. Emilio CASTELAR, in Cen

Don t yawn like that again. Harry.
In the first place it's not polite to

That's what a father said to his
seven-year-old boy as the two were
coming up from Coney Island.
The boy had heard before that il
was iinpolite to yawn, but he had
never before been told that there
was danger in yawning. He wanted
to know right away in what the
danger lay.

father. IF you keep on yawning
you may some day dislocate your
jaw"
"Dislocate my jaw, papa Why,
that's the funniest thing ever heard

might get my mouth SO wide open
that my jaw would get out of place
and stick fast2'

"And what did the doctor do1"
