STRONG PERFUMES. AND SAVAGE
DoGs.-At a country hotel recently
the conversation turned upon the fero-
city of dog-half bulldog, half mas
tiff-that was chained up in the yard.
A small man who was one of the guests.
smiled contemptuously at our hosts
description of the hounds savageness,
and offered to bet that he would 60
down to the kennel and take bone
from under his nose.
The bet was taken, and all adjourn
ed to the courtyard to witness the
feat. The small man, who had van
ished for a moment, reappeared, and
strolled up to the kennel with his
right arm outstretched. The dog
rushed at him with open mouth, then
stopped, turned tail and skunk into his
hutch.
The man followed, put his hand in
side, pulled the dog out by the collar,
and then, after permitting it to crawl
back again, coolly took up the bone it
had just been enjoying, and threw it
away, without any protest from the
animal.
The secret of his success was that
he had rubbed his hand with a solution
of ammonia. A dog cannot bite with
out drawing in its breath, and the in
halation of this pungent odor was too
much for it. Spirits of camphor, eau
de cologne, and other powerful per-
fumes of the kind, are said to be almost
as effective.

The SYSTEM OF THE GERMAN
ARMY.-It is impossible to conceive a
more thorough system than that Oh
which the German army is based.
In every village there is certain
amount of money deposited in the
town hall which is sufficient to keep
all the soldiers in the village in food
for 80 days after the declaration of
war.
Next to the town hall are the armo-
ry, arsenal and barracks of the place.
Here are the cannon and smaller
arms, the ammunition, and every re-
uuisite for war. The officers live in
the building.
Scattered throughout the village
are the soldiers. Those who have
passed the first term Of service are en-
gagged in various occupations. Every
horse in the village is duly ticketed
and appraised. At stated times the
horse is taken from his position in the
shafts of carriage, or butchers, ba-
ker's or candle makers cart, mounted

then returned to mis- owner. The in
slant war breaks out the horse becomes
the property of William II.
This condition of things exists in
every corner of the empire. The in
stant the emperor decides on war, the
entire telegraphic and railway service
is turned over to the State the shoe
maker in the village dons his uniform,
jumps upon his neighbours horse, and
reports himself at the barracks; the
bag of money is put in the gun car
riage and within few hours the en-
tire force of the village, town or city,
is standing in the road ready mounted
and thoroughly equipped for active
service. Everything is arranged, all
contingencies are foreshadowcd, and
an army of 100000 men stands wait
ing for orders within few hours after
the declaration of war.

fish get a taste of the bait through the
auger holes. They circle around until
they get to the top of the barrel: when
they make dive through the opening.
Once in they do not seem to be able to
get out again. The fisherman hauls
up his barrel, the water escaping
through the auger holes, and then he
scoops in the fish. Carp and suckers
are generally caught in this manner.

THE ONLY WOMAN CLOWN.
Miss williams Claims the Unique Distinc-
ton and Talks of Her Work.


"NIy reasons for becoming clown,'
said Miss Williams, the only lady clown
on earth, according to the circus bills,
"was to make money. My father was
a clown for 10 years. He had 2l chill
dren, and all Of them were in this busi-
ness in some capacity or other, gener-
ally as acrobats and tumbles. was

gives me pretty wide latitude. l am
a fair tumbler and manage to get along
all right. I shall probably not stop in
this business until l get married. Of
course I hope to. get married some
day. Every woman does"
Miss Williams is rather undersized
woman, about 25 years old, with an
abundance of health and energy. She
rides a bicycle, swings Indian clubs and
does everything else that man does
to keep herself in proper trim. One of
her favorite tricks as clown is to put
on a bonnet and long cloak and then
sit by some innocent young man in the
audience. In nine cases out of ten he
is very much preoccupied in the per-
formance and does not pay any at
tention to her. Suddenly she aston
ishes him by shouting to the ringmaster
for job. He takes the cue and be-
gins to dicker with her.
"How much will you give me?"
"Ten dollars performance"
"Oh, no! This young man here
that 1 am engaged to will give me
more than that to stop here with him."

pa" Some Spartanburg fishermen have
fallen on a novel plan for catching
certain kinds of fish. They take a
barrel, with both heads in, or a box
closed all round. They then bore a
number of auger holes, beginning at
the bottom and going nearly to the top.
About the centre of the top they cut a
hole four to six inches in diameter.
They put stones enough in the box or
barrel to cause it to sink. They use
bread as bait. The upper surface of
the box or barrel is two to five feet
under water, according to depth. The

THE RUBIEs OF BURMAH.-A large
quantity of the worlds supply ofrubies
comes from the Burmah mines, which
have been actively worked since the
annexation of Burmah by the British
government. The ruby district is
about 26 miles long and - broad, and
lies at elevations varying from 1000 feet
to 5000 feet above the sea-level. Some
of the mines have been worked by the
natives from very remote PERIODS in
fact, old workings are found 3ter an
area of &C square miles. 1t is in the
lower clay-beds of the river alluvia,
and in similar deposits formed in gull
lies in the hill-wash, that the rubies,
spinels, and other gems are found.
In the alluvia, square pits from two
feet to nine feet across, ingeniously
timbered with bamboo, are sunk to
the ruby earth, which is drawn up by
bamboo baskets. In the hill-wash
long open trenches are carried from
the sides of gully. Regular mines
are opened in some places in others
the limestone is quarried.

A pOsItIVist View.

Frederic Harrison, writing in
the September number of the
PoSitivist ReUje'c, says: Looked
1t in the broadcast way, the late
election showed an uprising of
Conservative England against the
earnest groups which clamor to
make men sober, chaste, pious, III
structed, comfortable, or just by
statutory penalties before the
mass of their fellow-citizens have
been trained to love soberness,
chastity, piety, comfort, education,
or justice on moral and spiritual
grounds. The motives of these
reformers are excellent, as no
doubt were the motives of Calvin
and Torquemada, but their meth
dds are those of tyranny and per-
secution. Compulsory soberness,
compulsory short hours, compul-
sorry education, compulsory mo-
desty are political enormities and
are moral weaknesses. The coun-
try has now proclaimed its Con
servatlsm; and the lesson is, never
again to attempt together a string
of unconnected reforms or to force
on moral reforms before opinion
is ripe. The Liberals must listen
to statesmen, and not to managers
and conferences. Englishmen
are at bottom doggedly averse to
anything new-fangIed, and when
they do accept great changes, it is
after mountains of debate at
Homeric b titles in every town and
village-and a great preponder-
ant majority shown to all men.
We have to educate the predomi-
nant partner, and to make his
education complete before we talk
about Bills"

An Eccentric Companion Met by tho
Novelist In America.
The following story was told by
Rudyard Kipling himself to a
"Boston Herald" correspondent.
He was poor, and at the same
4 time wanted to see California. He
4 also desired some profitable en-
ployment, 1t was long ago. He
found himself in Lower California
penniless. Illuminating on his
misfortunes, he came across a
fellow. sufferer. This second VIC
tim to the unkindness of fate was
past middle age, addressed, and
uncouth. Apart from a fellow
feeling, they took to each other.
They decided to tramp to San
Francisco, where Kipling had
possible financial resources. They
got there somehow, Kipling found
his companion taciturn and odd.
On day the silent one fell into a
muddy creek. On landing he be-
gan to take off his trousers-a
very wretched, ragged pair. To
kipling's surprise a second pair
thIn, we'll cut, and comparatively
= new, we're disclosed beneath the
old ones. Kipling came to the
conclusion that he had stolen
them, and began to regret having
agreed to travel with him. Once
wien Kipling found the tramp
ing hard work, and complained
of trouble with his feet, his SEN
tentious companion said, You d
have lot more trouble without
them" The man evidently had
some sense of humor. Arrived
at San Francisco, Kipling said,
Where are you going"' "To
the wharf, was the reply. IN
go with you to the wharf" said
KipIing. At the wharf there was
! neat boat with balf-a-dozen
sailors fOoling about. The
moment they saw Kipling's compa-
MON in his ragged coat and SLOUGH
hat they srrang to their feet and
saluted him. Get in" he said.
Kipling got in. "Shove off.
The captain of the boat showed
off. The mon bent their backs to
the oars. In few minutes they
