The other week spoke Of the power
Of Imagination. A friend tells me that
dogs are as much under it's influence
as men, and he has, In consequence,
discovered method by which tender
hearted rnancan bring up his dog In the
way 1t should go without unnecessary
suffering TO either party. My friends
method Is to keep In his yard big
butter-tub and thick stick. When his
dog has misbehaved he chains 1t up
close to the tub, gives 1t couple Of
cuts with the stick, scolds II energetic
ally, and then sets to work to larrup the
barrel. With every blow that falls upon
the tub the dog bowls and struggles.
BY the time my friend has worn HIM
self out upon the barrel the dog has
received all the moral good that could
have been afforded him by thunder
ing good whipping, and Is. repentant
and conscience-stricken for the next
three days, In fact, the imaginative
animal fancies that he really has had
a beating, and is as sorry for himself
as IL he had been half killed. My
friends motto is, "Spare the tub and
spoil the dog" Being kind man, he
hated the severity that is necessary to
the training of animals, and his dis
covery has removed great burden
from his mind. He can punish his dog
and Immediately after sit down and en-
joy his dinner-a thing that, in the old
days, could not be thought Of. He tells
me that he has never found the plan to

and girls are as nature made them, and
are as bare in feet as Du Maurier's
Trilby of the Latin quarter. Their
limbs are as bare and brown and crisp
as the roofs Of the houses in the vicin-

at work stacking brick preparatory to
Its removal to the kiln. They are the
wives and daughters of the men who
work in the yards and kiln. While the
men are asleep these women come out
between 5 and o'clock in the morning
and pick up the brick which the men
have made and put out the day and
night before. In this particular yard
these rows of brick are as long as one
quarter Of an average block. There
are usually about four of these rows.
They represent about 10000 brick Two
women and two girls pick up these
rows and stack them under shelter.
There are from ten to twenty of these
sections of rows, according to the pre-
vious days work, and in every section
there are usually two women and two
girls-not always. They are as apt and
quick and accurate as an avenue miss
with her fancy needle work. They seem

In seasonable weather when they do
not come out to this work. AS before
given, 1t requires an hour. Then they
return to their homes, prepare the
morning meal for the men and the men
come to the yards to grind the clay, to
fill the molds and to lay down the new
made brick on the sandy level.

THIRTY-FivE THOUSAND DOGS.
Kept by a Russian sheep Raiser
Whose Flocks Number 100000.

Kept by Russian sheep Raiser
Whose Flocks Number /, 100000.
Naldemar Paulovitch, a young Rus
sian who recently passed through Buff
falo, told reporter of Gustav Jovano-
witch, the Russian who owns more dogs
than any other man in the world. iowa
novitch is the sheep king Of the Rus
sian steppes. He owns over 1,5OO 900
sheep, and that is why he owns so many
dogs. They are all of the shepherd
breed and number above $4,000. Jova-
novitch's sheep and dogs have descend
ed to him from his forefathers, and,
needless to say, he is immensely rich.
The dogs are all intelligent creatures,
though of a hundred breeds, and all
perform their offices faithfully.
You can imagine that it costs great
deal of money to feed such number Of
animals" said Mr.. Paulovitch. They
are well kept and fed, else they would
be forced to turn on their fiocks. iowa
novitch has great, barn-like structures
for the dogs shelter, and scores of men
to care for them. Great care is taken
of the brutes' health and a dog rarely
goes mad. The millionaire sheep own
er buys dog biscuit by the ton In France
to guard against distemper. Fleas, Of
course. are Il necessity among such a
are provided for their determination.
The fieas, however. not only pay the
expenses OF the bath, but put quite a
bit of money into the pockets of the dog
keepers. In st. Petersburg there is a
great demand among the wealthy for
performing fieas. but only the biggest
and most intelligent are fitted for the
work. or course, among $4,000 dogs
one has a great choice of fleas, and
Markovitch, the head dog keeper, has
corner on the performing flea market.
1.-THE big, muscular, well-grOomed
and intelligent fieas which he sends to
the capital are taught to perform little
tricks. They dance, too, and / have
heard that one flea who could skip a
spider-web rope was sold to one of the
court ladies for 1000 rubles. Perform
ing feas, once taken from natures
home, become very delicate, and have
to be housed and fed with the greatest
care. The car once went to visit Jo-
vanovitch at his great house on the
steppes. and joked with him about his
dogs, asking IL he was acquainted with
all of them. For answer the sheep man
led him to the door and blew blast on
his hunting horn. Then, from the long
matched kennels that were spread for
quarter Of mile around there arose
a howl of unison from each Of the 35,-
600 dogs, and before it had died out
| 10000 feet We're flying over the ground
in the direction OF Jovanovitch and his
royal master. When they reached the

| the ground was covered with a mat Of
dogs for great distance. Come, yonr
majesty said Jovanovitch, the ground
| is damp, but my dogs have made for
you a carpet And the car and his
| friend walked out to the kennels over
the strong brutes. The car sent iowa
novitch a decoration" concluded Mr..
Paulovitch, land he fed the 80, 900 dogs
on Hamburg steaks out of gratitude"

Women know the influence OF beauty
on men; men rarely admire a beautiful
invalid, but they do admire woman in
whom Is blended good features and per-
feet health.
There is no secret about a woman's
beauty; it all lies in the care she devotes
to herself, to removing from her system
all poisonous impurities, and keeping at
bay those fearful female diseases.
The flashing eye, elastic step, and bril-
liant complexion are never companions
Of womb trouble; only the distressed
expression and aches, pains, blues, faint
ness, dizziness, bearing-down feeling,
etc, keep 1t company.

The Farmers Institute at the State
Fair promises to be a drawing card this
year. The fact OF having the product of
every department on the grounds to il
lustrate the work makes a feature in
farmers institutes that every progress
sIve farmer takes an interest in seeing.
Dr. Curryer, Ass'te Supt., Mankato,
says the tented city israpidlv filling up
and this fact alone shows that our state
fair is on the eve of becoming what it
should be, viz: the adnual gathering of
the best of our pro6uets as an exhibition
oi what we can do, and learn from such
exhibition, and the method of its pro-
duction. Every locality in the state
should send a few Of its most progressive
farmers to the state fair this year for
what can be seen and learned through
this institute. and besides it will be an
encouragement for all our future state
fairs in this work. AS long as there, is
tent room it should be taken advantage
of for best results.
Every farmer attending the state fair
should call at Farmers Institute head
quarters" and leave his name and adj
dress to aid farmers institute work in
his locality hereafter.

Irishman, Mr.. Bran Stoker, came to be
associated with the fortunes of Sir
Henry Irving. Itwas in this wise. Sir
Henry, when on visit to Dublin, was
invited to a supper party, and during
the course of the evening was induced
to recite in his thrilling way "The
Dream Of Eugene Aram.'' One Of his
auditors, young man with brilliant
reputation at Trinity college, was SO af-
fected by the tragedian's delivery that
he burst into tears. Henry Irving asked
the young man to call on him the next
morning, and then and there made him
an offer, which was accepted to the mu-
tual advantage Of both. The young man
was Mr.. Bran Stoker. Core
