TOY DOGS OUT OF FASHION.
Three Queer Stories About Them tho
Truth Of Which L. Vouched For. :.

Three Queer Stories About Them the
.. Truth Of Which Il vouched FOR. .
Toy dogs have gone out Of fashion,
fortunately for the reputation for sense
of a great many women who were
tempted to do very foolish things while
the craze lasted. Stories Of these little
autocrats are still floating about. Here
are three whose truth is solemnly
vouched for by the New York Times:
At a luncheon at which were present
three women of one family mother
and two daughters-it was noticed that
every one Of the three declined the lit
tie articles of dessert, jellies. cakes and
the like, and the neighbor of one Of
them had the curiosity to ask the cause.
60" was the reply, poor little Mar
Quis was ill all night. and, as the dear
little soul may not have any Of these
goodies he loves SO dearly, we just
haven't the heart to take any our
selves" -
Story No. 2 was OF tardy pair at .
formal dinner. When the company Of
guests had waited nearly half an hour
and at last the hostess gave up the
missing ones and all were seated at the
table the pair appeared. The explana-
ton from the wife was that "it was
quite too bad, but Bijou would not let
us leave, and we had to wait until the
little fellow was asleep"
The third tale is Of o dog whose sick
ness aud death created intense excite
ment. The absent husband was pur-
sued all day with kilograms, baby was
sick, baby was worse, baby was dying,
and finally baby was dead. Then came
a private funeral Of more or less cere-
mony. and afterward baby's mistress
appeared in conventional mourning.
1t is certainly time that toy dogs
went out of fashion.

The Care OF Food.

Very few cooks or housekeepers
seem to know that every article of
food should be kept covered until it
appears on the table. Milk and but
ter, for instance, should be kept in air
tight vessels and kept covered. They
both take up every odor flying in the
air and are positively harmful to take
into the stomach after standing un.
covered for an hour or two, for not
only odors but the animacula that fill
the air are attracted to milk and but
ter. Uncovered jelly is q menace to
family health. 1t is in gelatine jelly
that expert psychologists imprison
germs OF disease to watch them propa-
gate. They seem to thrive better ON
that kind OF food than any other, yet
in two-thirds of the pantries in the
city will be found half.used dishes or
glasses OF jelly standing uncovered.

HOW LAKE TAHOE WAS FORMED.
The Result Of Volcanic Upheaval in An AZ,
Long Gone By,

The Result Of Volcanic Upheaval In An Age
Long Gone BY.
Maj. j. W. Powell, director Of the
United States geological survey, thus
describes the origin of Lake Tahoe:
I'm geographical times not long ago,
as speaks the scientist. but very long
ago, as speaks the chronicler of human
follies, there was deep valley on the
eastern slope of the Sierra Nevadas al
the headwaters of the Truckee river.
About this valley lowered granite
mountains. But earthquakes came,
rents were opened in the rocks, and
from the assures poured monstrous
streams OF lava. One of those assures
crossed the lower end of the valley, and
through it poured floods of molten
rocks Stream after stream issued, to
cool in solid sheets and blocks, until q
wall was built across the valley two
or three thousand feet in height, and
above it was q deep basin five or six
hundred square miles in area. The
storms that fell on the granite and
volcanic mountains rolled in rivers to
I'LL the basin, and Lake Tahoe was
created. When filed at last its waters
overlooked the rim of lava, and the
Truckee river now springs from the
Tahoe fountain. Its deep waters are
dark with profundity, like the clouds
OF a stormy sky. but about its shores a
few shallow bays are found, and
emerald waters, like festoons of beauty,
encircle the deeper and more somber
lake. Back from the waters forest
clad slopes rise toward the heavens,
and above are seen naked crags and
domes of granite"

An disqualification OF Child Life In the
Slums OF Nov York.
: A kindergarten teacher, at the head
Of a free kindergarten working among
the desperately poor and ignorant Of a
neighboring city, speaks of the pathetic
unchildishness Of the little creatures
that she coaxes into her schoolrooms,
says the New York Times. Hungry,
weary and cold; dirty, ragged and sore;
kicked, beaten and sworn at; often
themselves wicked and depraved be-
yond belief, they seem to have nothing
in common with joyous childhood save
smallness of stature and fewness Of
years. They do not know how to play.
even, and it is this ignorance of the
underlying principle of child happiness
which seems the saddest privation of
all. The beautiful land Of "make-be-
ieve" is unknown to them. The story
related by q man whose business took
him much among the poorest, most
wretched districts of this city illus
trates the depths to which child life in
the slums has fallen. He found a COM

Remarkable Memory.

I The Toledo Blade tells of a conduc tor
on q western railroad who possessed o
remarkable memory. An official of the
road, who doubted his alleged powers,
was convinced by the following feat:
Coming into his Office one day the con-
ductor said to him: There is my train
book. Along the line have taken in
more than one hundred passengers. and
while you hold the book I will tell you
the station at which every passenger
got on and of, the class Of ticket each
one carried, the color Of the ticket,
whether the passenger was male or
female, and the destination Of all pas
sengers transferred" The list was
gone over and he did not err in single
particular. He then stated that he
could describe every one Of those one
hundred passengers, giving the manner
Of dress, color Of eyes and hair, and
general appearance, and could select
the lot out Of On assemblage Of thou
sands.

AN EXCITED LOON.
dow the Distressed Mother Acted OvsA
Her Young.

Her Young.
Hon. Lewis NJ Lellan, of Gorham
Me-, while fishing for lal blocked
salmon in Sebago lake last May, was
surprised to see loon with her young
one near his canoe. The anxious moth
cr was employing every artifice to call
her child away, but the little one swan
so near the fisher that he easily took
him aboard in his landing-net, and hold
ing him on one knee gently stroked his
lowny coat, to the little fellows evil
dent satisfaction. says the Lewiston
Journal. Meanwhile the mother was
in an agony of distress.
At first forgetting her native wild.
ness and timiditv in her mothers love,
she boldly approached the canoe, and
rising in the water till she appeared to
stand upon it, furiously tapped her
wings. uttering menacing cries. Find
ing this of no avail, she pretended that
she was wounded, rolling over in the
water, and finally lying still as II dead,
evidently to attract attention to her
self and from her young one. The fish
erman, touched by these displays OF
motherly affection, put the young loon
into the water. The distressed mother
instantly came to life and again tried
to entice her little one to go with her,
but he liked his new acquaintance SO
well that he remained near the boat,
until the fisherman rapidly padded
away for considerable distance, when
he waited to see the outcome of this adj
venture. As he withdrew, the mother,
with cries of joy, swan to the little one,
Owed beneath him. and taking him on
her back quickly bore him to safe dis
lance. when she stopped and seemed to
be talking to her truant child in very
different tones from the wild, strange
hoarse laughter by day and the weird,
doleful cry at night" which John Bur
roughs attributes to this bird. The
fisher says he never imagined the loon
could produce such soft, sweet, melodi-
GUS notes as he then heard.

A WOMAN BEAR.KILLER.
The Wife Of . WOodsman Slsys Brul
with an Az.

The Wife Of . woodsman Slsys Bruiu
with an Az.
A desperate battle took place few
days ago between famished she bear
and the wife of Amos Corey, a woods
man on the upper Beaverkill, near
Turnwooo, N. Y, says the New
York Times. For several days bear
tracks had been seen in the neighbor-
hood, and once a good-sized bear had
been seen crossing the road near
Corey's cabin. The other morning
Corey started with rifle and dogs to
hunt down the animal, and had been
gone about an hour when his wife
heard a great commotion in the door
ward. Just then a little dog ran into
the house yelping with terror and COW
cred with blood. Mrs. Corey, thinking Of
the bear, seized keen-bladed ak from
the rack and, shutting her baby and
little boy in a bedroom, ran into the
yard. There she saw huge she bear
rolling and tumblings in the sawdust
and chips Of the woodpile, while over
it lowered swarm of honey bees. The
bear had upset half dozen hives of
bees and the little creatures were hav-
ing their revenge. Mrs. Corey watched
the battle for awhile and then she
made stroke at bruin with the az, in
hicting severe wound in the animals
side. With q howl the bear rushed
upon her, unmindful Of the bees. Ris-
ing upon its hind legs it advanced
upon the woman and tried to hug her.
Mrs. Corey piled the ak with energy,
and after several blows struck the ami.
NAL in the head, killing it instantly.
She received during the battle blow
from one of the bears paws, which
badly lacerated one Of her arms. After
the bear had been killed the bees
swarmed about Mrs. Corey, singing
her severely. They finally rested on
the bushes near by, where she sue.
ceeded in hiving them. Afterward she
was surprised to find that two little
cubs had come out of the brush and
were smelling about their dead mother.
She captured them and after feeding
them with warm milk they became
quite tame. She will keep the cubs
and raise them.

Early Ideas About Hair.

All the ancient philosophers held Gu.
flous ideas respecting the growth,
functions, structure, etc, of the hair.
and had many superstitions founded
on these old opinions. The early
writers on the makeup of the human
body almost invariably refer to the
hair as being an excrement fed on sub
stances similar to itself. They SUD-
posed that it generated in the fuliei.
nous parts of the blood; was exhaled
by the heat Of the body, becoming firm
and fibrous upon being exposed to the
air, just as the fluid of the spider web
does. In these days every idea respect
ing the growth and character of hair
Is changed. 1t is now agreed that
every hair properly and truly lives and
receives its nutriment from the body.
True, they take upon themselves the
nature OF parasitic plants: they grow
as vegetation droes, yet each has, as it
were, distinct life and economy
That they derive their existence from
the juices of the body there is no
doubt, but that food is not taken from
the nutritious juices. for we know that
hair will thrive even though the body
starve or be wasted by disease. or even
after the animal life has ceased to ex.
ist in the flesh or skin to which thew
are attached.

St. Martins day is called Martinmas.

going toward Rome on foot, when he
met Satan, who jeered at him for walk

mule, and jumping on his back rode
comfortably along. Whenever he went
too slow the saint made the sign Of the
cross. and the mule was goaded TO
greater efforts.
In olden times it was at Martinmas
that the new wine was first tasted, and
day Of joviality was the natural re-
suit. On the continent of Europe geese
were sacrificed plentifully at Martin
mas.
In England the day was more sacred
to beef. Cattle used then to be killed
for the winters meat, and Martinmas
beef means beef dried in the chimney
like bacon.
In France the few warm and pleasant
days which commonly occur at about
this time, and are known here as Indian
summer, are called the summer Of St.
Martin.

DISCOVERIES OF IMPORTANCE.
Cotton Waste TransfOfmed Into Nitrate
Of CellulOse-A New Dynamo.

Cotton Waste Transformed Into Nitrate
Of Cellulose-A New Dynamo.
An interesting discovery mas been
made by two young chemists of Lon
don which will doubtless have q very
important bearing on the manufacture
OF cotton, says a London correspon-
dent of the New York Times. Cotton
waste is transformed by q new process
into nitrate of cellulose, and cotton
fabrics can be covered with solu-
ton of it which will add materially to
the weight, strength and value of the
material. Thin. lightweight fabrics
can be filed up with this preparation,
which costs little more than sizing and
fuller's earth. The cellulose thus pre-
pared is also applicable to many differ
ent purposes. The cost is very little
more than the raw material, being
cheap and the process Of manufacture
inexpensive
Another invention OF moment is one
which enables waste paper to be con-
verified into kegs, barrels and vessels
OF every description. In making kegs
knd barrels ingenious machinery is en-
ployed, which enables the manufac-
turer to turn them out with solid heads
If desired. There will be a large de-
mand for the product in the shape Of
kegs and barrels for powder, as no
dampness can be contracted, since they
are water and damp proof.
The latest improvement in dynamos
is one which gives a continuous cur
rent without brushes and accumula-
tors. Scientists were incredulous and
pronounced this impossible, but the
proof Of the pudding is in the eating,
and the new dynamo gives strong
and continuous current notwithstand-
ing it was declared an impossibility.

England, who was an unbeliever, now
