in which the animals are frequently
washed. The intelligent creatures
seem to know that everything possible
is being done for their good, and sub
nit quietly to the hands of the doctor
and his assistant in being bathed,
brushed, or even operated upon.
Some interesting operations have
been performed in the hospital. Ex-
traction of teeth is common. One Skye
terrier which had lost an eve had a
glass one inserted. Cancerous growths
have been removed from dogs, though
this operation is rarely successful. In
several cases leg has been amputated.
and in one case an artificial rubber leg
was fitted on. Artificial limbs can be
put on very quiet dogs only, however,
because they are nearly always torn
off by the animal. A big Newfoundland
puppy in the hospital is suffering from
q rather peculiar disease called rach-
tits, or softening of the bones, known
is ''rachets" in human beings The
legs of the dog will not bear the weight
of his cody, and are curved in the form
of bow. This disease is caused, as
are most canine affections, from un-
suitable food. He has been fed on
food deficient in lime salts, which are
needed to give strength and hard
ness Of the bones. rheumatism is a COM
mon ailment among dogs, especially
as they become old.
The cases of the patients are dag
human practice, except that the sick
dog cannot answer any questions. The
doctor places his ear against the an
imal's chest and listens for indications
of bronchitis, wheeziness or dropsy.
A stethoscope is not required, but
otherwise all the instruments are the
same as used for diagnosing and op-
Grating on human beings.
Cocaine and ether are used a. an

performed.
The most extraordinary devotion Is
manifested by the owners of many Of
the pets. Some women visit their dogs

A pathetic and at the same time inter.

of the New York Veterinary hospitals.
In the room devoted to cats and dogs
are rows of cages containing suffering
pets which, sick though they may be,
all eagerly jump up upon the entrance
of stranger and anXiously strain their
eyes in the hope of seeing familiar
face. The hospital is patronized by the
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals, and is the one which enjoys
the distinction of receiving as patients
THE sick pets Of the rich people in the
city.
The cages, says the New York Trib-
une, are always full of animals suffer

Such deiicacies as ice cream. weak tea
and pound cake are strictly tabooed, 10

which at first turns up its nose at dog
biscuit and other hard but wholesome

charged for keeping and curing the sick
dogs and cats, varying according TO the
ailment and size of the animal. The
patients are allowed to receive visitors,
and many owners como and sit for an
hour or more before their Gagged pets.
They are not allowed to bring any food
OF dainties into the hospital unless ac-
corded special permission by the house
surgeon. Though most of the patients
are of high pedigree and generally suf-

the certainty of its being treated free,
with as much care as those which are
being paid for. They cannot be kept
at the hospital, but advice is given and
medicine furnished free to anybody who
cannot afford to pay for the cure of his
or her pet.
The cages for both cats and dogs are
of iron, painted white and filed with

THRILLING RESCUE.
4 Little Babe Taken from the Steamer
Nicholson In Lake Michigan

-NlcnofBOn IN k~Akc htcutSa An.
Some thrilling resoues were made by
seamen on Lake Michigan recently.
Particularly SO was that of the little
baby of Capt Smith, of the steamer
Nicholson
There came a cry from the Nicholson
that thrilled everyone on the steamer.
1t was a woman's voice, and when an
other toss of the waves brought the
boats to each other again the wife OF
Capt. Smith, of the Nicholson. was seen
through the sleet standing on the deck.
robed only in her nightgown and bare
footed. with her eight-months' baby in
her arms.
"a rope!" shouted Mate Olsen, from
the deck of the Owen.
One was quickly procured, and when
the Nicholson once more came within
range it was thrown. A second trial
was necessary before the line was
caught by Capt. Smith. In twinkling
1t was coiled about the tiny form of the
child. The mother released her hold
and for "A few seconds the baby was
poised over the foarning waters. 1t
seemed an age TO the father and mother
as Mate Olsen and Steward Fred West
ney drew in the line But. when the
baby reached the rail of the Owen. the
parents hearts almost stopped beat
ing, for the blanket, outside of which the
rope had been wound, slipped from the
small figure, and the baby seemed TO
fall TO the surging water below. But
it was only the blanket that fell, fcr
Olsen had grasped the child.
From the top of the Nicholson's cabin
Capt. Smith and wife waited for the rail
of the Owen 10 come once more above
them. The opportunity came. Tho
captain grasped his wife by the waist
and tossed her upward. Mate Olsen
caught her. Then with a spring the
commander of the fated Nicholson foi-
lowed his wife and child. Two min
utes later the Nicholson drifted out of
reach of the Owen and did not come
back.-Cincinnati Inquirer.

ing lines, and the motif is evidently
| sincere in its naivete; it is of youth
youthful. After having accompanied
his father on a journey to Spain and
Africa he wrote fantastic book called
Adventures de Quatre Femmes ct dun
Perroquet." In 1S4S he wrote and
published LA Dame aux Camellias."
Between the years 1856 and 1870 more
than so curtain-raisers and plays from
the young Dumas pen were produced
in the Paris theaters. After the first
disasters in 1870 NJ. Dumas retired to his
estate in Puys, near Dieppe. The day
after the commune he sent to news
paper in Rouen La Lettre sur les
Chooses du jour" full of patriotism and
invectives against the revolutionists.
Returning to Paris in 1872, he had
series of plays produced at the Gym
nase. The first two pieces were "Une
Visite de Noces" and la Princess
Georges" The great success of the play
was in a measure due to Mdlle. Aimee
Desclee, who played the principal roles.
Besides la Dame aux Camellias," his
greatest dramatic triumphs have been
LES Idees de Nine. Aubray,"a comedy;
.'Une Viste de Noces," La Princesse
Georges" Monsieur Alphonse" and
"LEtrangere." In 1872 he published
"L'Homme Femme" which repeated
the thesis of his novel, "L'Afaire Glenn
enceau,' and dramatic version of it was
produced at the Gymnase in 1873 under
the title La Femme de Claude" a
play which was revived at the Renais-
sance theater by Sarah Bernhardt in
1894.
NJ. Dumas was installed a member OF
the French academy on February II.
1875. and was promoted to the rank Of
commander of the Legion of Honor.
His drama, Joseph Balsamo," based
|. on his fathers romance, "Cagliostro.'
was performed for the first time at the
Odeon, March Is, 1873. He published
in 1880 LES Femmes qui Tuent ct les
Femmes qui Votent," in 1881 ia Prin-
cesse de Bagdad," in 1855 Denise" and
in 1887 "Francillon."
NJ. Dumas was a remarkable exam
pie of inheritance of talent. Yet be-
tween the author of La Dame aux Ca
mellias." and the author of LES Trois
Mosquetaires' there is as great diff
ference as between the Armand Du-
val" of the former and the OAR
tagnan" of the latter. The son once
attempted TO explain this difference
by saying: My father was born in
a poetic age. and he is an idealist; 1
was born in a materialistic age. and
am a realist. My father takes his sub
jects from dreamland: l take mine
from life He works with his eyes shut,
| with mine open. He starts from a
fact: | from an idea" The father,
however, was nearer the truth. and ep-
igrammaticaliy heater when he
summed up with the words: HE is
photographer; am a painter" The
father owed the larger part OF his sue
cess TO his power as a story-teller-
Astounding in action, splendid in color.
full of life. gayety and charm always
soodly and glad; never sick and sorry.

than make any mark resembling it,
they used instead of it . figure like
that OF the capital Y. 2 or Z, not know
ing that their ballots would thus be in
validated. These ballots had to bs
thrown out under the terms of the new
tallot law.
: The pre- JUDGE against the sign of the
cross exists chiefly on the part of those
lDaturalized citizens who have come To
this country from Russia The preju-
Idicc is mainly religious, but is also
partly political, for under the Russian
government religion and politics are
linseparable. The car is the head OF
the church as he Is the head of the
state, and the Greek cross is the en-
lblem of both. Our Jewish citizens from
Russia often give narratives of the per-
secutions which they were subjected
there under the sign Of the cross, and
they say that it is to them rather the
symbol of their own sufferings than
of the crucifixion in Jerusalem. They
iabhor it as such. They cannot bear TO
accept it as a mark of their American
citizenship in the state of New York.
! That this prejudice exists here. and
that it is obstinate, there was plenty
of evidence in the recent election. It
is asserted that thousands of ballots
were thrown out because the voter
substituted some other sign for that Of
the cross. About this assertion it ought
to be yet possible to obtain information
through an examination of the re-
jected ballots. If it be found that tina
assertion is true, the ballot law ought
to be amended, SO far as the voters
mark upon it is concerned.
We do not know how many of the
voters of the city belong to the claes OF
Iorthodox Russian Jews who object TO
the cross mark, but there are, accord
ing to the most trustworthy estimates,
between 900, 900 and 500, 900 Jews in this
city, majority of them immigrants
from Russia; and it is matter of court
record that most of these immigrants
take out their papers of naturalization
as soon as they can do so under the law.
1T is not unlikely, therefore, that there
are here between 10000 and n, 900 vot-
iers of Jewish Russian origin. 1t would
be unfair that any part of the voters
should be disfranchised by mark
which stirs up religious antagonism in
their mind, and brings back to them
unhappy memories of Russia.-N. Y.

The Young Man Threw His Cigarette Out
OF the Window.
In the matter of tolerating social
nuisances, Americans are accused of
being a very longsuffering people;
but whatever their practice, they will
always be ready to cry: Serves him
right" in every case like the follow
ing, the story of which comes from
England:
In railway carriage sat a pale,
middle-aged lady, a slender youth
Unlocking squire.
At one of the stations young man

his hand, and as the smoke curled in
the lady's face she coughed.
This is not smoking-carriage,"
said the youth.
I'm not smoking" retorted the new
conner. "IFdare say my cigarette will
keep till we get to the next station"

Fis face had grown pale and, as he
arose. the other put out q for.
n,idable fist, which probably would
have crippled his opponent.
But now a strange thing happened.
The burly squire had hitherto re-
manned quite passive, but he now pro-
duced something which glittered in
the sunlight; there was a click, and the
young man with the cigarette was
hsndcuffed.
you will pick up your cigarette and
throw it out of the window" said the
squire, who proved to be a detective
dressed for some important work.
The cigarette was clumsiiy picked up
with both hands and dropped out of
the window. Just then the train rolled
into a station and the young man was
given his liberty, which he fastened
to use by slipping out of The carriage.
