That Friend of Your Youth.

Next to the lynx eyed younger brother
with his terrible memory and his great
eloquence the friend of her youth is the
being whom every woman wishes most
to avoid. The friend of ones youth re-
members and recalls in public all ones
early follies. She asks if you have for
gotten the day you ran away from
school, the afternoon you were whipped
for playing with the boys around the
corner, the day you painted your face
with the artificial roses ON your moth
er's bonnet and the night you demolish-
ed a whole jar of jam at a sitting. She
generally does this when the minister is
calling or when your prospective moth
erin-law is eagerly drinking in the sto-
ry of your youthful crime.
Then the friend of your youth goes on
and enumerates forgotten love affairs,
recalls your successive f1irtations and
conveys to the listeners the impression
that you were very gay person indeed.
She feels free because of her position to
criticise your clothes, your manner,
your fiance and your looks. For the
same reason she considers herself at lib
erty to borrow any of your possessions,
from handkerchief to the contents of
your purse. And when she has done all
these things she sits down and senti.
mentalizes about the past and makes
you agree that such halcyon days will
never come again. York World

THE SETTER DOG.
I Scentipg Power Is So Fine as to Be .
Source of Wonder.

Scentipg Power Is So Fine rs to Be
Source of Wonder.
The scenting power of we'll bred,
well trained setter is thing wholly
beyond human conception, and the mar
velous exhibitions they give of this
power can scarcely be credited. Indeed
it would not be wise to seriously dis
cuss the quality of a dogs nose were it
not possible to verify the stories that
might be told of this wonderful power.
Who would believe that a dog going at
good gallop with dead bird in its
mouth, could scent live bird on the
ground several yards to one side of his
course? And yet there are few sports
men who have not seen a dog point a
live bird with dead bird in his mouth.
1t would seem as if the scent Of the bird
SO near his nose would prevent the dog
from scenting another bird of the same
variety lying close i'll the grass several
yards from him. A man with bunch
of roses in his face would not pretend
he could smell bunch of similar flow
believe him.
Yet there is no doubt about the set
ter being able to smell and point live
birds on the ground while he holds a
dead bird III his mouth. He goes fur
ther than this. He points dead bird
ON the ground with dead bird in his
mouth, and he knows the instant he
feels the scent that it is dead bird.
This fact he expresses in his manner Of
pointing, and if it is wounded bird he
knows that, too, and indicates the fact.
Most dogs are taught to point stanchly
live bird and not to point dead bird.
The dog will go at full speed right up
to his dead bird and never pause mo-
ment. If there is a live bird near. he
will point that stanchly, and the
promptnoss and certainty of his deci-
sions show that the instant he catches a
scent he knows whether the bird is alive
or dead. He makes distinction, too,
between dead bird, live bird and a
wounded bird. He points the wounded
bird differently from what he does the
live bird and usually springs in and
catches it. What there is about wound
ed birds scent that he can recognize
instantly is puzzle to every one who
has thought much of the question. L.

A Remarkable Dog.

The following peculiar incident is
told by Baltimore man as occurring
to his fox terrier Zone day, while the
cellar door was open, the dog descended
in search of rats at about 8 O'Clock. At
$50 the dog was searched for and
thought lost. No further notice was
taken in the matter until the next morn
ing at II o'clock, when was attracted
by dog yelling. After a careful search
in the cellar, which revealed only a
pile of sand by the wall, l noticed the
dogs nose protruding through an inch
board at the top window of the cellar
looking into the yard. l went immedi-
ately up stairs and removed five bricks
from the pavement and pulled the dog
out. After careful inspection dis
covered he had dug under the founda-
tion of the house in the sand, which
had caved in on him. Finding no other
means of escape, he dug up to the sur
face, a distance of six feet, and on ar
irving at the brick surface, which had
been recently paved, dug toward the
window, distance of three feet, and
had nearly eaten through the board in
his efforts to free himself. He was near
ly exhausted whNl found, having been
26 hours underground. One eye was
entirely closed from sand, the other
nearly So Baltimore Sun.

Superheated Steam.

Probably it has come TO be accepted
as an axiom by most practical steam
engineers that in modern conditions Of
working superheating is useless or i'm
possible. Some reasons for such a belief,
arising out of difficulties experienced,
no doubt there are But il engineers
generally had fully appreciated the
magnitude Of the loss due to condensa-
tion in the cylinder it is difficult to
think that superheating would have
been abandoned with SO little of a strug-
gle to overcome the difficulties, and
that, for SO long, while every other
means of securing economy has been
tried, superheating has been neglected.
1t is sometimes said that the quantity
of heat in superheated steam in excess
of that in saturated steam is very small.
That is so, of course. But the earlier ex-
pericnce showed that this small guam
tity produced disproportionately large
beneficial effect

Beans and Dollars.

Several customers We're chatting i'll a
Lafayette avenue grocery store one even
ing recently when the grocer pointed to
half barrel of small beans and asked
how many of them it would require to
make bushel.
man recklessly put the number down at
50,00O which occasioned laugh from
all the others who had guessed a much
lesser quantity, ranging all the way
from 5000 to 10000.
"Well, gentlemen, remarked the
grocer, ''you are all wrong. There are
approximately 10000 beans in a
bushel''
No one was inclined to believe him
until he showed them that it took 60
beans, selected at random, to weigh half
an ounce The rest of the calculation
was simple. -"
"Now, then," said one of the party,
"since we are engaged in guessing con-
tests, how many dollar bills would it
take to weigh as much as silver dol
lar?''
One said 100, another said rs, while
the grocer, who knew all about beans,
put the figures at 300.

WHAT DREAMS MAY COME.

Haunting me ever, there comes and goes
A line from nm old songs tender close,
Its burden the sweetest-the saddest, too,
For the altered lives it has echoed through
Glove, had you loved mel" The words are few,
But through them an infinite passion flows.
"Love, had you loved MEL Perhaps the key
To many grief this thought may be;
To a sorrow that stirs at the magic strain
And steps from its prison. barred in vain,
To crush with the old, relentless pain
The heart that has guarded it faithfully.
All, fondest and truest, whose brown eyes
shine
With the tenderest lovelight, am thine
Forever, thou heart of my heart, and yet
The breath of an April violet
Wakens longing, deep regret
For eyes as blue, that were never mine.
"Love, had you loved me!'' what life would be
Attuled to that passionate melody
Sad hearts unblest, that must still repine
For the draft untasted of loves rich wine,
Bitter tho memories that haunt this line
OF ''Love, had you loved mel" SO mournfully.
