The Dog and the Doctor.

A good dog story is all the better for
being true. as the following must be
supposed to be, since it is related by
General d. H. Maury, in his "Recollec-
tons of a Virginian." The dog in
question wasa black setter named
Toots.
For more than ten years he was one
Of my family. He had his mouth on
every kind of game that ever wore fur
or feathers. He fought with my grey
hounds in many a wolf hunt, whipped
every bulldog that eyer attacked him,
was bitten by a rattle snake, and
sprinkled by a pole-cat, and had as
much sense as many men, and more
principle.
1t vas while he was hunting with
me that he was bitten by a RATHER.
I burned the place with gun-powder,
and carried him as quickly as l could
to a doctor. Toots had never seen him
before, but he allowed him to cut away
the flesh and burn him with ~caustic,
only whining softly from the extreme
pain.
Some time after this he got into q
fight, and was bitten on the same foot.
[ was away when it happened, and he
went by himself to that same doctor,
sitting upon his launches, as he had
been taught to do, held up the injured
foot for the doctors inspection and
treatment.

Departurc in Social Usage.

We are told that the numerous tour
lists to foreign lands during the present
year have noticed and will transplant
to our soil and society severe radical de-
partures in social usage; that the shak-
Ing of hands has quite gone out of style
abroad; that ladies nc longer take the
arms Of gentlemen, except when walk
ing out of doors in the e~vening-not
even in going to dinner. TO what eX-
tent these changes, and others, will be
adopted by our stay-at-home people
remains to be seen. We are not in
formed as to the reasons lying back
Of the more radical of these changes.
1t may be fear of the deadly mi
crobe," which figures so. extensively.
Some modern reformers have recently
undertaken on it's account to abolish
the kiss-at least the merely social kind;
but the effort has not been entirely
a success. A robust young lady, when
warned that she periled her health by
kissing and being kissed, very deter
minedly replied, Il don't do kissing as
a health measure!" And we predict
that the good old custom of taking a
dear friend warmly and tenderly by the
hand will endure yet a little longer
microbes or no microbes, foreign fash
ion or no fashion.-Good Housekeep-
Ing.

THE DOCTOR LOST,
a Bot OF n Thousand Dollars That
His Patient Would Die.

~
The gambling instinct is strong in
most men, but it is seldom that one
hears Of a mar with sufficient nerve to
bet a sum of money on his own life. A.
wager of this kind has just leaked out
In which two prominent members of a
Walnut street club are concerned.
These two men have been close friends
for years. One is a doctor and the
other a lawyer. A year ago the law.
yer, who had previously enjoyed the
best of health, began to complain Of
feeling I'll down. He consulted his
friend, the doctor, who, after a minute
and thorough examination, told him
frankly that his lungs were affected,
the action of the heart was impaired,
and that he wouldn't live a year. The
lawyer, who is a man of indomitable
pluck and will power, was naturally
stunned for a moment. After the first
shock had passed off, his true nature
asserted itself. "Ill bet you $1,000 you
ar wrong and that l do live over a
year, he exclaimed. He was in dead
ly earnest. The doctor was positive
that his diagnois was c%orrest, and vas
forced to accept the bet.
The money was placed n a safe de-
post vault. and the lawyer went abroad
In six months he returned. The year
was up last week and he won his wag-
err. And what Is more, he says he is
open for more bets of a similar ma
ture.

Keeping poultry teaches love in its
broadcast sense. 1t compels man to
love his home, to watch the little mat
tiers, to be regular, to be frugal, to be
Industrious. All these go to make a
happy life, and to be in love with that
which is dear to him. 1t is an old say
ing that he who has no pets has no
love for home. The woman who de-
lights in the company Of neither bird
nor animal, finds the society of gossips
and street inner the most attractive.
The poultry woman makes the model
wife. City life has nc charm for her.
Her home and her fowls are everything
and in them she finds comfort, health
and strength. The patient, loving,
kind-hearted oma alone makes a
success in egg and poultry culture,
while the ickle-minded, grumbling fe-
male would not think of STOPPING so
low as to "mingle with such pests"
A once poultry woman was, by force
Of circumstances. taken from her coun-
try home to a tenament in the city.
Although she lived in a more elaborate
dwelling, and owns finer furniture, she

the noise and din of slop carts and
drayages. "If 1 could only get out Of
this way of living" she said, "back
again to a rural home, where 1 could
keep poultry, as I used to. Then l al
ways had money and ciothing-many a
month I had more clear money with
my fowls than my husband did with
his crops-but, helping a friend on a
note did it, and here we are; the mint
has passed out of our hands. Were it
not for the disgrace, l would far rather
live all my life in a real Jail, behind
genuine ironbars, than subsist. from
hand to mouth, in this prison they call
city life" If there were more such
sensible women in this world there
would be less half-starving families in
the cities.

DOG AND CAT IN CHURCH.
Ten Minutes of Devotion Which
SOreIy Tried n Good Mans Nerve.

Ten Minute of Devotion Which
Sorely Tried n Good Mans Nerve.
The worshipers at the CHI lrch of the
Ascension in Auburn had a novel exper-
fence Sunday morning, says the Provi-
dence Journal. The professional hymn
had been sung, the white-roped young
clergyman had finished his exhortation
to the dearly beloved brethren" the
responses were over and prayers COM
menced when a tardy pa.ishioner ar
rived. AS he walked down the aisle
he did not notice that he was followed
by a companion. When the parishioner
stopped and bowed his head in prayer
his companion continued its demure
tread onward toward the chancel. Once
or twice it stopped as the organ sound
ed the "amens," but when progress was
resumed the course was still onward.
BY a nimble leap the wanderer landed
Oh the platform leading to the chancel
II there revealed itself as n tiger
striped kitten about six months old.
The Kittens and the clergyman's eyes
met. The Mortified clergyman with
great effort continued to read on, while
the unconcerned kitten, with tail erect
and ears pricked, gazed on him with
interest. Giving him a wink she passed
on to the chancel, entered the sanctu-
airy, and with a bound reached the al
tar. Not content with his she leaped
to the bishops chair and her set about
adjusting herself to the surroundings
by washing her face. The sound of
the clergymans voice, however, seemed
irresistible to her, and, jumping over
the brass chancel rail, she leaped to the
seat in front Of the reading desk at
which he was kneeling. With the close
of the collect, Tighten Our Darkness
the choir, the congregation still kneel-
ing, sang an anthem. This interval
gave the dominic his coveted opportu-
nifty to make a lunge for the cat. Puss
was happily purring very loud, but,
seeing the attempt on her liberty, a
nimble jump saved her from the clergy
mans grasp.

renewed preambulations of pussy. She
remounted the seat behind the clergy

leap. The only place to leap was the
~clergyman's back. The kitten eyed his
victim critically and was about to leap
when she was startled by the terrific
yelp Of a dog which had some how
got into the choir stall. The kitten
now turned her attention toward the
organ, and, peeping around, saw her
enemy. Her enemy saw her at the
same time. Each gazed i~ntently in an
apparent effort to hypnotic the other,
but the experiment was cut short by
the dog, who, with a leap and yelp,
made for the cat, and, but for the
vigorous scrambling of the bassos, the
two would have had an argument in
full view of the clergyman and congre,
cation. The dog vas held and the cat

were entirely ignorant of the fearful or.
deal through which their pastor had
gone during the space of ten minutes
of prayer.

Household Hints.

There is no economy in a cheap
trunk, for it will hardly survive Il sec

White or pale ostrich plumes may
be washed in benzine without losing
their color or curl.
Sheets put away for any length of
time Numbered are much more likely
to turn yellow than those which are
simply washed.
Tomato soup, according to the New
York Tribune. is greatly improved by
the addition of a few slices of orange
just before serving.
Swectbricr is one of the most delight
full of common plants with which to
decorate sitting rooms. for its fra
GRANGE, though very sweet, is pleasant.
The leaves, also, are excellent to fill
in pillows with.
To clean Il wicker chair it is best to
use tepid soapsuds made with some
good white soap, into which put a large
pinch of salt. Then. after washing the
whole chair, rinse and dry carefully,
A final polish may be added with a
flannel cloth and IA tiny bit Of oil.
A low chair, made by saving off the
legs of a common kitchen chair until
it is low enough to suit one, with a
cushion of dark calico, is a useful ad,
junct to the work, to sit in while wait,

cake to bake. One can open the oven
door without STOPPING TO examine the
articles cooking.

Your skin and your eyes, dear girl,
constitute the thermometer that tells
whether you are well, physically, or
not. If the first has little spots upon
it, Is dull to look at and feels dry, and
the second has q glazed appearance,
with yellowish whites, then be sure it
is time to think whether O are living
rightly from the physical standpoint.
Now, what does your morning bath
amount to? Dc you dab over your face,
whirl the cloth around your neck, care
fully battle your hands, and then go out
of the bathroom fully satisfied that you
are quite clean? There are thousands
Of girls who consider this all that is
necessary, and yet, as the old darby
nanny would say, "That's nothing
more than a lick and n promise"
There are few American houses in
which there is not a bathroom, and if
n is so unfortunate as to live in q
boarding house where one has lot a
private bath there will be wisdom in
paying a little extra for the privilege
of having the bathroom to ones self at
a certain hour, and saving this on car
fares. My dear girl, I Know exactly
what this is, and it Is not a woman
who has never lived in a boarding
house who is talking to you. Therefore,
! say, take five minutes to yourself and
scrub that tub out well with soap and
water before you get into it. 1 do not
recommend for any girl in this country
a perfectly cold bath. American wom-
en- are inclined to be nervous and are
not over-strong, consequently the wis
est thing to do is to plunge into water
that is tepid, and which, when one
gives ones self a thorough rubbing,
will not cause the much-to-be-dreaded
cold. This morning bath is taken for
cleanliness, and it is the only way, I'M
less indeed, one stands up and is care
fully sponged, by which one can be
sure of perfect physical sweetness. Use
soap? Plenty of 1t. But ibis soap does
not need to be of an expensive kind,
and the wise girl is that one who
chooses the simplest quality and n
that is not scented. A hot bath, which
is desirable at least twice a week,
should be taken at night, and the tired
girl will be surprised to find, not only
how rtstful it is, but how perfectly de-
licious her own 1Ody feels when she
lays down and her eyelids gradually
fall over the eyes weary of looking all
the day long. The cheap uapery that
is sold makes q good wash cloth, for
You must remember that, while the
spoI GO is desirable in the bath,
thing more than a sponge is required
to n AXE n absolutely clean. By-and-
by, a light quality of flannel. one COM
bining cotton with wool, is also desira-
BILE for a cloth. 1t is only after one has
grown accustomed to the morning bath
that one realizes all that it means, how,
in the best way, it wakens one up,
mentally and physically, and starts one
out ready to begin the v ork of another
day.-Ruth Ashrtre in Ladies' Home
Journal.

Up-TO Date Matron.

Fashion of late years has done much
toward improving the appearance of
middle-aged women. 1t was so many
years ago that the mother of Il young
lady daughter was always attired in
s0mber colors. For her to be smartly
goWncd was not considered correct
form. Black gray and the dull shades
of heliotrope We're permissible, but
BRIGHTER colOrS were entirely out of the
question for the middle-ag2d woman's
gown.
Now Il decided change has taken
place. and it is not strange to see both
mother and daughter appear in cos
tunes of the same piece. House gowns
of white crepon, trimmed with violet
ribbons. are charming when worn by
Il woman with silvery hair. The new
grenadines, with their floral designs
and satin stripes, make appropriate af-
ternoon toilets. The Louis QuinZe
jackets are well adapted to the elderly
woman of to-day, and they possess a
stately style which non of her gar
ments twenty years ago ever owned.

Apple Diet for the Skin.

A ripe, raw apple is Il of the easiest
foods for the stomach to deal with,
the whole process of digestion only con-
suming eighty-tive minutes. The malic
acid of ripe apples, cooked or raw,
helps to digest meat and to stimulate
the liver and neutralize those noxious
matters which, unless eliminated, pro-
duce skin eruptions. Apples are not
as satisfying as potatoes, because of
their delicate elements, but eaten. with
meat in place of tubers they are a
golden food. The salts and wine sweet

LONG-LIVED RUSSIANS.

Ce%ntenarians Are Far From Being
Rare IN the Czar's Dominicns.
1t has long been a well-established
fact that abnormal longevity is more
common among the Russians than
among many other of the European ma
tons. From an official report cola, led
from Northumberland local registers
1t now appears that the government Of
Kieff takes the first place Of all Rus
sian provinces in this respect During
last year, it is officially stated, there
were fourteen centenarian deaths regis
tered in that government. In the city
of Kieff n man died at ITO years,
while within the suburban circle two
women died aged respectively 1O2 and
104 years. In. Berditcheff two men
reached the respective ages Of 1O1 and
ia years. In Vassilkoff another patri-
arch died In his 115th year. In the
same district there died a Jewess aged
iO5; in Svenigorodka, a man of 10
year; in Tarastscha, another of 105; in
Uman, two men aged respectively 100
and 102 years; in Radomytzel, a He
brew aged 107 and a Christian aged 1O3
and lastly q a Of los years died at
Tcherkassy.
Here are fourteen persons dying
within the same year and within the
limits of n district, whose united
ages amount to 1889 years. According

Her button gown was a great success.
She was conscious of this after wear
ing it for the first time. Such an
amount of attention she had never be-
fore received. 1t was an imported
frock and it carried just sixteen dozen
buttons. They were very small but
tons of glistening gilt and they shone
upon her dress like cords of gold.
The skirt of this French costume was
made of fine white broadcloth, with
an unusual amount of fullness at the
back. On the right side of the skirt a
narrow panel of heliotrope velvet ap-
peared to. be caught to the broadcloth
by a row of gilt buttons, which stretch
ed from waist line to hem. The bot
tom of the skirt was finished by a
band of the velvet cleaning with an
other line of gilt buttons. The bodice
was heliotrope chiffon over silk and
shirred to n yoke of white broadcloth
outlined with very small gilt buttons.
The chiffon at the waist line tucked
in to a corselet of helitrope velvet Dor
dered with buttons.
The draped sleeve was of white
chiffon owe helitrope silk. The puff
