Where Everything IL Ordered and Done
by Public Signal.
The village Of New Hartford, in Con-
necticut, has one matter of town pride;
the sails of the vigilant were made
there. The duck mills where they
were made are the sole industry Of the
place, and they are managed with .
sort of paternalism. For fully two gem
relationships the Philadel phia Ledger,
it has been the custom of the managers
to look after the comfort of the en-
ployes in variety Of little ways on the
theory that better work and more of it
is produced thereby. One Of the pater-
nal institutions that has been estab-
lished is the potato bell" At 1880
o'clock every morning the big bell OF
the mills rings loudly. That is the s'po-
tato bell.' III
The wives OF the workmen know that
when that bell rings it is time to put
the potatoes or o boil for dinner. No
workman's wife would think of putting
on the potatoes until the bell rings, and
as consequence dinners are always on
time when the men reach home. There
Is no excuse, therefore, for any man be
ing late on returning to work when the
noon spell is ended. The watchnan Of
the mill is compelled to ring the bell
every hour Of the night to make sure
that he is awake and doing his duty.
Nobody in the village IS disturbed by
the night bell, it is said, although visit
ors are kept awake By it. sss.55!

COSTUMES FOR DOGS.
A Frenchman Who Poses as Worth for
the Pet Puppies of Paris.

A Frenchman Who Poses as Worth for
the Pct Puppies ot Paris.
1t is interesting to learn through the
channel of Paris correspondent of the
London Daily Graphic that the French
capital can boast of tailor for pet
dogs. The writer recently said:
s'No matter what the dress may be,
the Indispensable companion of the
woman who walks is her little dog.
Short-haired terrier or long-haired toy,
it is of no moment, provided that it be
very tiny. At the moment it is per-
haps the former which is the more
popular, as he furnishes further ex-
cuse for the exhibition of fur, in that
his smooth coat does not appear to his
kindhearted mistress a sufficient pro-
lection from the cold of this season of
the year. And so the little dog has his
tailor even as his owner, and Lebouble
of the Palais Royal may be called the
Worth of the kennel. With garments
of velvet, trimmed with fur, or Of cloth
strap, stitched and embroidered, the
clothing of the little creature harmo-
nizes with that of his possessor. Some
ladies provide mackintoshes for their
pets for rainy days, and have them
made with full hood, which covers
the ears Others there are who choose
tartan, having points turned back at
the shoulders, and fastened with strap
round the body. For those believed to
be particularly chilly, the coats are
provided with collars of quite Medici
style, and are lined throughout with
astrakan, or even beaver, as these short
furs are not too cumbrous for the pet
ted animals. There are some which
actually have umbrellas of dark-blue
silk, which they have been taught to
carry quite straight and steadily be-
tween their teeth in the event of sud
den shower! They are also provided
with handkerchiefs in case of accident,
tiny pocket in which to carry these
being placed on one side of the coat.
These handkerchiefs, should add, are
found useful when madame stops a few
minutes at the confectioner's and can
wipe her pets nose and paws after his
share in the delicacies she buys"

Eccenrricitlrs IS Erancis 10y Dunlop, 8
Washing ton, Vino Died Recently.
Students Of mental character have an
interesting study Is the character Of
Francis Key Dunlop, who died ia Wash
ington recently, says the New York
Commercial Advertisers. Mr.. Dunlop
was known TO everyone who has spent
much time ia. Washing ton during the
last third Of . century. At college he
was an athlete and developed himself
physically to remarkable degree. He
received a severe tall while still at colt
lege, and this resulted In brain trouble
that made him the most eccentric man
in Washing ton IN dress. Belonging to
one Of the oldest and richest families
in Washington, he was supported with
an abundant income. The effort for
physical development he had made IN
college caused an impression on his mind
which resulted in his padding his Shout
ders to q tremendous degree With
this eccentricity he also had a ten
dency to large-sized collars and cuffs
the cuffs always being made to
order and twice the size ordinarily
worn by men. His neck he painted
red and his face was coated with white,
which gave him CHASTITY appearance.
This mode Of attire Dunlop continued
to the day of has death, his clothes be-
ing made by the most fashionable tailor
here. During his earlier years he was
constant attendant at theaters and at
social events, for he never stood ION
any formality," and would go to recep-
tions without invitation, his well known
family always guaranteeing a kindly
reception for him in the coterie with
which he was familiar. But notwith-
standing these eccentricities, Mr.. Dun
lop is pronounced by men who knew
him most intimately to have been one
of the soundest and most discerning
literary critics of his day. He left an
immense library, buying and reading
every new book of any note. Only a
couple of weeks ago he visited the CAPT
toll building for the last time, He was
nearly seventy years Of age, and despite
the enormously padded shoulders and
arms walked feebly. He was the most
unique eccentric character that Wash
| ingtOn has ever known.

i Al He saw at washing ION.
Probably no Indian who ever visited
Washingt to counsel with the great
father returned To- his tribe better sat-
fed with the results of his trip than
the Sisseton Sioux Two Star, says the
st. Paul Pioneer Press. He not only;
accomplished the object Of his mission
but he was entertained Ia q. style that
falls to the lot Of few Of the nations
wards Agent Keller was with him, as
well as the interpreter, Joe Brown.
The latter, by the way, is somewhat
notable figure. He is q son Of that
Mai. Brown who commanded the troops
at the battle Of Birch Cooley during the
Sioux outbreak. He has lived all his
life among these Indians and now,
keeps large store on the reservation
Two Star was sent to Washington byI
his tribe to ask the immediate payment
to them of $199, 600 of their principal
now in the custody Of tho United States.
This sum now amounts to 81, 699, 900.
The Indians are in very destitute cir.
cumstances this winter, owing to an
almost complete failure Of their crops,
and the interest due them is not suf-.
ficient to carry. them over until next
fall. The impairment Of the principal
is matter which by law rests entirely
with the president. In this case he has
promised to follow the recommendation
of the commissioner of Indian affairs,
which is to the effect that the grant be
made.
It is somewhat singular fact that,
although Two Star was one of Gen.
Silbey's scouts and has always asso-
ciated with the whites upon tsrms Of:
the friendliest intimacy, he cannot
speak word of English. His enjoy
ment of the white mans am7isx*......ent is,
however, none the less keen. Senator
Kyle:s clerk, Duncan Mcfarland, took
him to see the kaleidoscope. AS he
looked in upon the picture in motion a
look of amazement, not unmixed with
a degree of CONSERVATION, crept over
his face. He stepped back and looked
around, above and below the case to
find out what caused the exhibition. 1t
suaded to again apply the eye to the
aperture, and when the machine stopped
with click the noble red man jumped
as if he had heard the warwhoop Of
some of his tribal enemies.
He was equally amazed, but none the
less pleased, with the photograph, and
insisted upon having a selection by the
Marine band repeated. He was taken
to an amateur athletic and gymnasium
performance at the Columbia Athletic
club, and witnessed the exhibition Of
skill and endurance with delight that
was almost childlike. just before his
departure for the west, Two Star said
to a correspondent:
II was here in 1867, but no one paid
any attention to me then. I think:
Washington is much nicer place now.
1t will be no use for me to tell my
people about the things have seen
and heard referring to the kaleidoscope
and photography, for no one would be-
lieve me. They would say was not
speaking the truth"

SHIPS LOST AT SEA.
Swift Destruction Awaits a Sunken vesse
at the Eottom OF Old Ocean.

Swift Destruction Awaits Sunken Vessel
at the Eottom OF Old Ocean.
In looking at the oceans, the mind
almost instinctively turns to the fate OF
the ships which found their resting
place upon their floors. If the reader
were appointed to inspect the bottom
of the drained sea, he would be sure to
look at once for some remnants of his
kind, overwhelmed by storm or battle.
Fancy has depicted these vessels as
thickly strewn over the bottom of the
sea and at times as hung in the depths,
unable, on account of the density of
the water, to find their way to the
earth. But all we know of the condi-
tions of the deep leads us to believe
that the sunlxen vessel finds it's way
quickly to the foundations of the sea.
In few hours at most it reaches it's
everlasting grave and is ready for the
swift destruction which awaits it's
form.
At the stroke of it's fall it must in
part sink into the ooze, which every
where is deep. Quickly the creatures
of the sea, who by long existence in
fields where food is scanty have learned
to avail themselves of every chance of
subsistence, seize upon all the organic
matter which fortune has sent to
them. Even the masts and the other
woodwork will shortly be honeycombed:
by living species and weighed down by:
encrusting forms. Thus before long
the masts will fall and the decks will
share in the ruin
If the reader could traverse the field
whereunto came the shot-riddled ships
of Trafalgar, he would probably, says
a writer in Youths Companion, be sur
prised at the slight effect they would
make on the landscape. Each wreck
would most likely appear as low;
mound Of debris, in which it would bel
difficult to trace the semblance of the
stout craft which waged the greatest
sea-fght of all time.
Ships Of European people have BEEN
for centuries finding their way to thef
hoors of the ocean. Probably over 81
hundred thousand vessels have met this;
fate since the time when our race began
by far the greater part OF these have
fallen upon the shall lows near the shore,
where the swift currents and rapidly
moving debris are likely to aid in their
destruction and burial
How swiftly they disappear in these:
conditions may be judged BY the expert!
ence Of a diver who has sought forI
sunken treasures. Almost Invariably, Z
after a hundred years or SO has passed.

iCondit influencing the Chances

Some Facts which Aay 10 q Service g

Trade--Thss Kind OF Women
That Ii Wanted.

Is 1t true that employers of stenog-
raphers and typewriters are inclined
to discriminate between pretty, young
girls and women Of mature age?" New
York Sun reporter asked a man who is
brought into daily relations with EN-
ployers and vsho has helped hundreds
of women to secure places.
Generally speaking, was the
reply, when the same degree
OF fitness is shown business men
make little or no discrimination,
but there are scores Of firms Ia
the city who prefer mature women. NY
observation satisfies me that any wom-
an under forty who has ability, vivacity
and neatness OF appearance stands on
precisely the same plane as the younger
sisters of her profession. Too many
women who follow this pursuit lose ann
bition in their work when they reach
lineage Of thirty, because they see all
about them host of girls fresh from
school earning perhaps the same pay as
those far more experienced. The rea-
son an inexperienced girl receives this
consideration is that when first enter

ing upon office duties. she takes great
pride in her work and her employer
feels that she can then be relied upon
and has no serious thoughts Of marry
ing for at least a few years.
1.-THE age at which most young wom-
en- commence the practice of stenogra-
ply and typewriting ranges from seven
teen to twenty three years, and as com
paratively few remain in offices longer
than five years, it is naturally inferred
that those who have reached mature
womanhood have long since passed the
period of their first business zeal, and
therefore cannot be counted on as per-
manent. It is found, too, that in mat
tiers Of correspondence every business
man has his idiosyncrasies, be they i'm.

A TRAGEDY IN MID-AIR.
The Hawk Catches the Weasel, but Gets
the Worst of II

The Hawk Catches the Weasel, but Gets
the Worst of It
The weazel is a dainty and luxurious
liver, In his way, says the Houston
Post. He steals the freshest eggs, So
lects the tenderest chickens Of the
brood, and will sometimes kill several
for a single meal, sucking the warm
blood and eating only a small portion
OF the flesh. He Is not only sly and
cunning, bus remarkably courageous.
He will often attack an enemy much
larger and stronger than himself, and
he does not lose his wits even in i'm
minent peril. This heroic quality Is
sometimes strikingly evinced. Two
farmers in Titus County, Texas, were
eating their midday meal, when they
noticed large hawk circling in the
sky overhead. He was gradually
narrowing his circles while ap-
preaching the ground, and 1t was ap-
parent that he would soon drop upon
his victim. The men looked about
cautiously, without movement OF noise,
and presently discovered a weasel
stretched out upon the warm side Of
, log, not far away, probably summing
himself after a long mornings sleep,
for the weasel does his sleeping in the
daytime and his work at night. But
the weasel quietly blinked at the sun,
either unconscious Of the danger or in
different to It. The farmers had Just
made this discovery when the hawk
came gliding down, swift as an arrow,
seized the weazel in his powerful tall
ons and rose again alomst perpendlcu-
larly. All seemed at an end for that
weasel. Soon, however, the move
ments Of the great bird became strange
and unnatural. His wings worked
rapidly and conyulsively, as If making
a great effort to sustain flight, then he
began to sink, slowly till finally he fell
straight like a plummet to the ground
dead! From under the outstretched
wings crept the weasel, apparently un-
harmed. What had happened? The
weasel had quickly stretched his long
supple neck under the hawks wing,
stuck his teeth into a vital part and
sucked out the life blood. The mus
cles Of the hawk relaxed as the blood
was rapidly drained. There was a last
desperate effort at fight; the wings
tapped uselessly in the air, and the
heaviness Of death brought him swiftly
to the ground, very near the spot where
the weasel had been basking in the sun.

An Old and Beautiful Art Revived by
Modern Demands.

An Old and Beautiful Art Revived BY
Modern Demands.
The revival at Venice Of the mosaic
art, chiefly for internal and external
artistic decoration Of private and pub
lie buildings, goes on uninterruptedly
and working in mosaic is now Jour
consul says carried on in that city on
a large scale and with great success,
says the London Daily News. A mosaic
Is a work framed by the use Of ties
serae" or small cubes of enamel, mar
bic or other material and Of a gold
and-silVer leaf between two films Of
the purest glass of various colors,
which are skillfully mixed on cement
30 as to produce the effect Of picture.
The composition Of human figures in
different attitudes, animals, draperies
or other objects requiring a careful de-
llineation are intrusted to the best
workmen and the execution Of the
background to less trained workmen.
The splendid mosaics which are made
at Venice continue to be in great de-
mand in the artistic markets of the
world for the skillful manner in which
the tesserae are arranged, for their ex-
IRENE beauty and delicacy of color, the
rich harmony Of effect and from their
being nearly indestructible. The man
ner In which mosaics are now made
for decorative purposes is quite diff
ferent from the elaborate system used
by the ancients, which consisted in fix
Ing the tesserae one by one on the
cement previously applied on the wall.
The modern method Of the Venetian
school consists In executing the mosaic
in the workshop by having the tesserae
fixed with common paste on the section
of the cartoon assigned to each work
man. When all the parts Of the mosaic
are complete they are put together on
the floor or on special wooden frame.
The mosaic, which Is then a perfect
representation Of the original cartoon,
10 again divided into sections on the
reverse side, marked with a progress
siVe number and carefully packed to
be sent of to the place for which 1t is
ATTENDED. The surface Of the wall
where the mosaic is to be fixed is then
covered with cement, into which the
sections of the mosaic are uniformly
pressed according to their numbers
and the key-plan supplied to the fxers.
When the cement has hardened the
paper on which the tesserae have been
pasted is gently taken of and the faith
full copy Of the original cartoon Is again
exhibited on the right side.
