The Irish Terrier Now in Favor.

Every dog has his day, and the Irish
terrier at length has his. He is now all
the vogue in London, and one can only
wonder why he was so long about "com-
ing in" for with his beautiful eyes and
pretty head he is beyond question one
of the wisest of the canine tribe. He is
an "all round" dog, ready for a romp
with the children or rat hunt. He
takes to the water like duck, is call
there" in wild fowling expedition,
flushing and retrieving beautifully, and
as any man will tell you from Kill to
Connaught, he is ga darlint wild the rab
bits" He ought to be proud of himself
today, for his market value ranges from
ten to twenty pounds.-Pall Mall Ga

Sharing TheIr House with Bees.

In farmhouse between Marcellus
and Skaneateles there is curiosity.
Between the plastering and the siding
of the house at one joint there is va
cant space, which for the past three sea-
sons has been utilized for living pur-
poses by a colony of bees. The colony
has grown to such an extent that on q
warm summer day it. is sometimes un-
safe to drive horses in the yard near
them. The family living in the house
expect to make repairs in the fall, and
they estimate that they will harvest 20t
pounds of honey from their novel hive

A Singular Method Of Treatment.

A peculiar case Of poisoning by a
physician was that Of DR., Stephen Eot-'
vos, in Hungary, about twenty-five
years ago. Eotvos undertook to hasten
the death Of patients whose cases hey
considered hopeless by putting them out
of their misery, as he termed it, with
fatal drugs. He encountered no opposi-
ton to his peculiar methods of benevo-
lence while he practiced them on people
of no particular standing. But when
the doctor fastened the death Of q well
known land proprietor named Szlavy,
who was slowly dying of cancer, the
relatives of the dead man presented a
violent protest and demanded the prose
cution of Eotvos.
The physician declared on trial he waa
actuated by humane motives and had
merely eased the journey of his victims
to the inevitable goal. This defense was
not accepted by the court Eotvos was
acquitted of malice. but found guilty Of
homicide without malice, and sentenced
to long term Of imprisonment. Pitts

Couldn's Fool Plumb.

They are telling queer story Of the
verdancy of the late Senator Plumb on
business matters while 8 young man.
He had scraped together 500 and had
it ON deposit in local bank. Wanting
to use the money he one day asked the
president of the bank for it. He told
Plumb to sign check.
:, The young man looked up and said,
''Eh?" ''Make out check for the
amount and sign it," remarked the
banker. 'sNo. sir-ee!'' said the states
man in embryo; ''no, stree. | don't put
my name on paper unless keep the
paper. | gave you my money without
taking your receipt and want it back
on the same terms" And it took con-
siderable arguing to persuade him that
it was the customary thing to make
checks for money. But when years
went on the senator rose to the million
rank by smart business faculty and
could sign checks with almost. anybody:
