Preferred the stuffed Dog.

A dog, an ancient brindled dog, a
specimen of the taxidermist's art stood
for long time as the sign Of little
shop. The poor brute was thing to be
avoided by tho fastidious. One day a
rosy maiden, very dirty and even more
ragged, just able to play about, came,
with two little dogs frisking about her,
to- the poor mockery Of the brindled
dog Instantly the two little dogs lost
all charm for the youngster. She caught
the other dog & head and patted 1t, pulled
its ears, wondered at it, admired 1t and
finally when she left 1t was still puzzled
and admiring, not quitsss satisfied as to
what kind of dog he was, but certain

Horses Can Count.

A Russian doctor has been expert.
menting to find how far some domestic
animals can count. The intelligence of
the horse, as shown In mathematics,
seems TO surpass that Of the cat or the
dog.
The doctor found horse which was
able to count the mile posts along the
way. Il had been trained by its master
to stop for feed whenever they had COW
cred 25 versts. One day they tried the
horse over road where three false mile
posts had been put in between the real
ones, and, sure enough, the horse, de-
oeived by this trick, stopped for his oats
at the end of 20 versts, instead Of going
the usual 90.
The same horse was accustomed to
being fed every day at the stroke Of
noon. The doctor observed that when
ever the clock struck the horse would
stop and prick up his ears as if count
ing. II he heard 10 strokes, he would
trot Off contentedly to be fed, but If 1t
were fewer than 12 he would resignedly
60 on working The experiment was
mado of striking % strokes at the wrong
time, whereupon the horse started for
his oats in spite of the fact that he had
been fed only an hour before. st. Louis

Modern Woman as Candy Buyer.

The powerful social movement in the
direction of the freedom Of women Is
being felt in this community. Women
are 'rising in their might" and "view-
ing with alarm" and all that such
things imply They are beginning to
assert their rights. I saw one of them
who had just sat spellbound beneath the
fervid oratory of Miss Maude Banks
when the latter "shook off the yoke Of
woman's slavery in peopling the world"
enter a candy store and fix her deter
mined gaze upon the contents Of glass
case.
"Those are go cents pound, mad
am" said the candy girl, "and those
are 45, and those are 90"
"Give me three Of these, and two Of
these, and three of these" caid the la.
dy, land, mind you, want just exact
ly those I've pointed out, and they are
not to be more than 10 cents, or 1 won't
take them. T"
When the customer had departed, the
candy girl, who was still self satisfied
slave, leaned against the case and fan.

FRIENDS CHURCH.
The Oregon Yearly Meeting at
Newberg.

NEwBERo, Or, July 3.-At the Ore
gon yearly meeting Of the FriendS
church, In session here, the subject OF
"Peace and Arbitration" was discussed
Friday morning. One of the foundation
principles Of the church is it's opposition
to ali war. Addresses were made by
DIR. Minthorn, of Salem; Rev. Mr.
Scott, of Newberg, and others, point
ing out the evils Of war. The afternoon
session was devoted to the educational
interests of the church. Reports were
read from the Friends Polytechnic In
stitute, at Salem, and the Pacific col
lege, at Newberg, both Of which are
supported by the church. The attend
ance at these places has been good dur
ing the year. The prospect is very en-
couraging for both schools. Addresses
were made by President Morrison, OF
the poly ytechnlc institute; Presiden
NewliD and Professor Lewis, OF Pacifir
college, and others. The need Of the
church for better educated men and
women was emphasized. The meeting

Farrngnt's Death.

Admiral Farraguts death was due to
the selfishness of woman, Rev. James
j. Kane, chaplain of the Brooklyn navy
yard. said in a recent lecture. The ad-
miral and his wife We're coming from
California, when woman occupying a
seat in front of them in the car opened
a window. Admiral Farragut was i'll,
and the strong draft of wind which blew
directly upon him chilled him. Mrs.
Farragut asked the woman courteously
If she would not kindly close the win
dow, rs it was annoying to her husband.
The woman snapped ont; ''No, i won't
close the window. Idon't care if il does
annoy him. am not going to smother
for him. " Admiral Farragut thus
caught severe cold, which resulted in
his death. A few days before the end
came he said, "If die, that woman

eIccAR,s DRESS SUIT.
The Thrifty ParneIlite who Walked Rather
Than ray Penny.

n =
Talking of the speakers dinners to
members, at which, in compliment to
the official position Of the hast as repre-.
sentative of her majesty in che house OF
commons, levee dress or uniform Is
worn by the guests, l was once told
funny story Of the late Joseph Biggar,
the thorny tempered deformed little ba-
con merchant who was the aristocratio
refined Parnell's first ally and for some
time his only follower in parliament
Biggar was not a poor man, but ne
was thrifty one, and he hated the idea
Of spending money ON a court dress.
Yet Mr.. Parnell liked his party to ap-
pear at the speakers dinners as assert
ing their privileges of parliament 80
Biggar undertook the irksome expense
Of hiring a court suit in which to go to
dine with the speaker. The man who
told me the story, another member who
was not dining officially that night,
was in the habit of going home with
Biggar ON the top of the last tram
they lived near each other out Lambreth
way somewhere-and on this night the
quaint little form of Biggar appeared in
his smart, trim dress, sword, paste but
tons and all, without even an overcoat,
to go home, as usual.
His companion demonstrated, but In
vain, nor would Biggar even consent to
ride as far as the tram would have taken
him, but got down, as was his custom,
at the extreme point to which penny
conveyed him and walked the street
thence to his rooms. His companion
went so far as to offer to pay the extra
penny out of his own pocket, but Biggar
refused sternly. He was savage at the
foolish expense to which he had already
gone and would not have even penny
more made of it.

costume mas a right to demonstrate
about feminine attention to dress, but

rHrY COOKED uNsoAKgp RAIN.
And by the Aid Of Lightning and Snow
Made q Satisfactory Meal.


"Perhaps one of the most peculiarly
prepared luncheons ever laid before
hungry people was one which we had
when we were showed up in the theater
of a small western town." said theat-
rical man to a reporter. Upon this
night, in the brief interval after the
people left the theater, while we were
dressing to go to our hotel, terrific
snowstorm, such as you can only find
IN the west, came up. The snow drifted
against our doors and all about the
streets, so that we had to remain all
night in the theater. OF course we got
hungry, as actors will sometimes do,
and we began search for something
eatable.
1--WE prowled around the property
room and were about to give up in dis
gust when one of the company struck a
box of beans, which were used to imi-
tate the sound of rain. By shaking the
box stage rainstorm could be produced
We took this rain, as the profession is
pleased to call it, but saw no way OF
cooking it. Some one suggested that the
thunder might be good thing to cook
it upon, in lieu of nothing better. The
thunder was q sheet of tin or iron
which was shaken to make the roar OF
heavens artillery. We bent the 'thun-
der SO that it would hold the beans, but
were at loss for means for producing
heat. Our property man suggested that
we use lightning, powder of lycopo-
dium, used for making flashes upon the
stage, for the fire. We found quite a
lot of this, and with the addition OF
some snow'-little bits of paper used to
represent the beautiful-westarted quite
fire and succeeded in cooking the
beans, which we ate with a relish, Re-
solving into stage parlance, we had used
thunder, lightning and snow to
cook a. lunch that consisted Of rain. "

Tests of Purity OF Water.

The popular standards of the purity
Of water are clearness, tastelessness and
colorness, and yet they are In reality
less desirable qualities than are soft
ness, freedom from putrescible organic
matter and stability in storage For
instance, colorless and perfectly clear
ground water, especially when high in
nitrates, will, if confined in open reser-
voir, promote and support a more Wig
orous growth Of organisms and may be-
come fouled and polluted to a much
greater extent than will many surface
waters similarly confined and either
deeply colored by dissolved vegetable
matter or loaded with clay and sand In
suspension. Likewise water meeting
the requirements of the popular stand
ard, but containing much lime and
magnesia particularly in the form Of
sulphates is unfit for use in boilers and
houses, while a ground water contain
ing peroxide of iron will cause much
trouble and annoyance by the deposits

MARRIAGE BETWEEN WOMEN.
A Trial In London Court Reveals Plot
Worthy of the Dime Novel.

Trial In n London Court Reveals Plot
worthy of the Dime Novel.
The legal world of London is much
exercised over the complications likely
TO ensue fro-l revelations made in trial
which has been had before Mr.. Justice
Chitty. 1t appears that in a marriage
contracted in 1865, which mp to the
present time was thought to be valid,
both parties were women.
In the year mentioned Mrs. Rachel
Elizabeth Cullener, a widow, was har-
nssed by creditors who wanted to attach
the income she derived from the will OF
her husband. This income, by the will,
she would lose If she married again.
She had living with her son and daugh-
ter, together with Miss Sophia New
land. a cousin Of Mrs. Cullener's late
husband.
The whole family was suffering for
want Of food, when it was suggested by
tho daughter that her mother marry
again, after which her children would
collect the income and support her. II
was difficult to find husband who
could be trusted So Mrs. Cullener, in
mans clothes, under the name Of james
Stanley, was married in due form to
Miss Sophia Newland, who at the mar
riage ceremony took the name Of Mrs
Cullener.
Both signed their borrowed names in
the register of che parish, and Mrs. New
land lived with Mrs. Cullener until 1883
Both have testified ON the trial to the
facts here narrated. Mr.. Justice Chitty
refused to believe the witnesses and dis.
missed the case, holding that woman
who has, by her own admission, been
for years ''steeped in fraud has no right
to complain If the courts decline to be-
lieve her when she comes forward in
