The feats performed by animals In ind
ing their way home over territory that
they could not by any possibility have
traversed are sometimes almost incredible.
About three months ago friend OF mine
rsxceiyed as a present . valuable pointer
dog. The man who raised the dog lives In
southwest Missouri. about 100 miles nom
this city. and the dog came by train In the
baggage car and was brought To his house
near the center Of the city in covered ex-
prsss wagon. The animal was then chained
up In the cellar till il was supposed be had
become accustomed, to his surroundings.
The dog never seemed satisfied, moped
about the house for two or three weeks
and then disappeared. II was supposed
that he had been stolen, and after search
had been made and q reward offered, with
out result, the hunt for the dog was given
up as hopeless
About a month after the dog was missed
NV friend received letter from the mar
who gave him the dog saying that Catt
had come back home. dirty, half starved
worn ont, and with every indication OF hav
ing made q long and severe journey. O
course he was allowed to remain. A do
that could find his way home from . de
lance Of 200 miles was worth keeping, On
how the thing could be done Is marvellous
1t almost seems as il dogs and some othe
animals have special sense OF locality an.
direction. Otherwise how could this ami
NAL have found his way out OF great CIT.
and back home over 300 miles OF groun'
which he had never travelled on footNSa

Death Of the Wasp Waist.

The popularity Of certain styles OF
dress and dressing has been frequently
ascribsd, and correctly, too, to the infiu-
ence of the stage, and fitting example
to cite is the death Of the wasp waist"
Certain it is that in society the admira-
ton for wasp waists has declined, at
least that form designated by Mr..
Watts, the artist, as ''stovepipe waists
Small waists at any rate are not popu-
lar behind the footlights. and certainly
not in England, as Miss Ellen Terry's
waist measures twenty eight inches in
circumference. while Mrs. Bernard
Beere and Miss Eastlake each possess .
waist Of twenty seven inches, and Mrs.
Mary Anderson Navarro comes in . good
third, with twenty-six inches. Miss
Mary Moore's is twenty seven inches
around, while Miss Kate Vaughn, whose
waist only measures twenty-one inches,
is said to have the smallest on the pro-
fessional stage Of London. Mrs. Kendall
possesses a we'll rounded waist, and

A Human Wonder.

Zerah Coiburn, who was born In Ver1

thirty-six, was without doubt the most
gifted natural mathematician the world
has ever known. He was taken to London
when only eight years old, and while there
was examined by all the great mathema-
ticians of England. At one OF these exam
nations he raised the number successive
