oUADRUPED HEROES.
Dogs of France that Have Had Military
Funerals.


Funerals.
A Paris paper tells the story of sew
eral dogs who have received in France,
or in the French colonies, the honors
of military funeral. 1t is customary
with many companies in French regi-
ments, and especially with those sta
toned in Algeria, to have q company
pet, and this pet is oftener dog than
anything else.
These dogs supplement in Africa,
very usefully, the work of the sentinels
at night. They not only give warning
of the coming of human enemy, but
also of the stealthy approach of jackals
and other beasts of prey.
One of these company dogs, Dellys
by name, warned the detachment to
which he belonged of an ambuscade
while on the march in hostile coun-
try. The soldiers themselves were ig-
norant of the Arab trap, and would
have fallen into it if the dog, marching
in advance, had not flown yelping at
the rocks behind which the savages
were concealed.
In reward for this service Dellys was
formally made sergeant, and wore
proudly on all dress occasions the
gallons, or insignia of his rank. When
he died he was buried with military
honors.
A military picture by a noted artist,
preserved in Paris, commentaries an.
other such funeral-the burial of dog
named Moustache. This animal was
also company pet" in Algeria. He
went into an engagement with his
company, and received wound which
necessitated tie amputation of one Of
his forelegs.
In due time Moustache's comrade.
presented him with wooden leg; ano
instead Of retiring to live at the "In
valides,p or soldiers home, for the res
of hiflife, as human veteran with {
wooden leg would have done, he con
tinued to stump around with his com
pany until he had filled out the meas
ure of his days.
Then he was given a military funel
al; and the artist who witnessed it per
petuated the fame of it on canvas. =

Roadside Accommodations for Travel.

crs
The 'rest-house" is governmental
system of providing roadside accom-
modations, carried in Ceylon to high
err standard of excellence possibly than
in any of the eastern countries. En-
glish occupation has everywhere been
synonymous with the development OF
resources, and it has ever been rec
ognized that the first step in this direc-
ton must be the opening of roads and
their maintenance in good condition.
1t was early found that the use of the
roads by Europeans and the better
class of natives depended to a large ex-
tent upon the possibility of breaking
journey at. convenient stages, especial
ly at night. In a newly-opened-
up country it could not be
that suitable places for the en-
tertainment of travellers would exist
at points where most required, and as
the natives themselves were not to be
depended upon to furnish adequate en-
tertainment. the government decided
to erect and furnish rest-houses as a
part of the general road system.
The result in Ceylon is that through
out the island, where means of COM
munication by roadways have been es-
tablshed, there are at convenient
points neat and ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
stopping-places, managed by natives,
it is true, but under the close super
vision of the roadway officials who are
Europeans. The rest-houses, many of
them, compare favorably with the best
of the private bungalows in the sec
tions where they are located; and not
infrequently the taste displayed in
the planting and training of flow
ers, foliage plants, vines, and
ferns together with the artistic arch
itecture, renders them pictures wor
thy of painters brush. These houses
are in charge of native, who is
known as the butler, and who for the
care of the establishment has the
privilege of supplying the edibles, sub
stantial as well as liquid. All the
charges are fixed by the government,
and those for rooms, etc, become part
of the government revenue, while those
for meals, etc, are the buffers. AS a
rule the accommodations are limited to
such as are requisite for half dozen
people, and the cost of entertainment
is very moderate indeed, especially to
those travelling with English letters of
credit, which insures Ceylon money at
the ratio of about two to one. Five to
six rupees per day, or from a dollarand
a quarter to dollar and half, meets
all requirements, including the indis-
pensable tips all around. -Harpers

not much more. The sketch presents a
bookcase thus designed, with very
useful stowaway place below for papers
and the like. A china closet was built
against kitchen door which led into a
dinihg-roon: IN very pretentious apart
ment. A desire to close up the door
and give access through large closet
was the necessity which mothered the
invention, and not only disguised the
very bad architectural arrangement,
but provided unique closet for choice
china and glass. Glass doors were fit
ted to this one. Two large jardinieres
ornamented the top of the closet, which
was decorated with carved railing.
A pretty effect may be obtained by
breaking the shelves; that is, by max
ing half of one lower than the other
half, thus giving room for large books
or tall pieces of china. Ingenuity will
devise to suit the need, and the super
fuous door made into thing of use
and beauty.-N. Y. Times.

ABOUT POTATOES.
Some Peculiarities of Growth in the
Tuber.

Some Peculiarities of Growth in the
Tuber.
In western grange there was re-
Gently an animated discussion on the
asserted fact that there are but few
potato blossoms compared with the
number seen half score of years ago.
Many of those that open almost i'm
mediately fall off, and in some locali-
ties such thing as a potato seed is a
rarity.
1t has been questioned whether the
potato bug is responsible for this state
of things, a number of farmers argu-
ing that this insect had exercised some
deleterious effect on the plant and in
terfered with its blessing capabilities.
While it is barely possible that the pc.
tato beetle may have had certain
amount of influence in the matter, it is
unquestionably the fact that potato
blossoms are growing fewer every
year. and are liable to cease almost al
together, and that for very good and
purely scientific reasons.
1t is an axiom of nature that what
ever is not required is gradually elm
mated. Having apparently no use
whatever for seed and having no at
tention paid to it, the potato has evil
IDENTIFY become of the opinion that it is
not worth while to waste any strength
in producing it. The entire attention
of the farmer is concentrated on the
tuber and for this reason nature is
turning all her forces toward the
roots. In many localities potato tops
are not nearly as strong and rank
growing as they formerly were. The
whole trend of nature is usually in
one direction, and, failing to have
seed product appreciated in the po-
tato, she bends her energies toward
the development and increase of the
| roots.
This is much more plausible and
satisfactory way to account for the
disappearance of potato-blossoms, and
is, in addition, purely scientific one

Tincture of camphor or tincture OF
myrrh dropped into water is an excel

Powdered alum is another important
adjunct; little should be thrown into
the water in which you battle your
hands before putting on gloves for a

might be tendency to perspire too
freely.

FLOWERS IN VASES.
Different Arrange ments Are Yaryingly Eff
fectiVe.

ltCllNts
There is a choice in vases. All flow
srs look better in vases of clear crystal
or pressed glass than in those of china,
however rare the ware or artistic its
decoration. Porcelain vases of grace
full form and coloring are really com"
pleted ornaments in themselves, and
they detract from the beauty OF flow
ers while their own conventional dain-
tiness also loses by the contact. An
other reason for choosing clear-glass
vases and jars is that through them
we can catch glimpse of stems, and
this gives the flowers more graceful,
finished appearance. When opaque
vases are used, those in one plain, dull
color, which pottery dealers call mono
sone, are the prettiest, contrasting
tint to the main color of the blossoms
being selected. Imagine dull-blue
vase filled with the black-eyed Susans
of the roadside, and you have the
idea.
There is, too, choice in placing the
vase. Large flowers of vivid tints can
be put further away from the locker
on, and yet lose none of their etfec-
tiveness or be unseen. But in fine
flowers, like the forget-me.not or a
cluster of heliotrope, would be lost on
a mantel or high shelf. Put the deli
cate blossoms where their dainty color,
form, or perfume can appeal to every
one, while the massed and gaudy splen-
dor of larger flowers may serve to deck
a dull corner or shady, somber room.
A pretty conceit is to put in each
ones own room bouquets of the flow
ers best loved. This is small matter,
but in discovering these favorite bios
SONS the home decorator will grow at
tentive and considerate, and perhaps
learn other ways of giving pleasure to
those to whom he or she owes much.
Some flowers display themselves best
in low, or saucer, boquets and often
thoughtless persons will give away the
flowers almost bereft of stems. Moist
sand or moss is particularly good to
place such short-stemed flowers in, as
they are better kept in position. But
the velvet pansies, with their modest
| faces, have an unexpected trick oil
curling up their stems in saucer bou'
quets. They are better controlled in
small vases, the blossoms standing up
right, just as they nod to us from the
garden bed.
Place vases when arranged as grace
fully as possible before mirror, either
on the mantel or dressing case, or hang
q small looking glass or sconce behind
the table wherein the flowers are put
