just purchased a collar, according to
the St. Louis Republic.
Certainly" was the surprised reply.
as he followed the young man into the
private office of the head of the firm.
"Mr. Ribbons" said the young shop
walker as he entered, Il have made an
important discovery. See this!" and he
pulled protruding piece of red ribbon
from the old mans pocket. with the re-
suit that about fifteen yards Of it were
brought to light
You are right" said Mr.. Ribbons,

The old gentleman protested that he
was innocent Of any theft. but to no
purpose and the search proceeded. His
clothes were lined with extra pockets
and before long fifty yards Of ribbon
of various shades, and three pounds of
confectionery, half a dozen packs of
playing cards, two dozen colored hand
kerchiefs, some small flags, dozen
oranges, a white rabbit, half a bushel

This man has just been taken up as

pointed to the goods lying about.

SOME MARRIAGE OMENS.

The bride who dreams of fairies the
night before her marriage will be
thrice blessed.
II the groom carries a miniature
horseshoe in his pocket he will always
have good luck.
Ship marriages are considered any
thing but lucky. Get married on land
or don't get married at all.
No bride or groom should be given
a telegram while on the way to church.
1t is positively a sign of evil.
No bride, II she would have good
luck, should bake her own wedding
cake. To do so invites i'll fortune.
Don't wear an opal in getting mar
ried. Some people declare that opals
are lucky. History proves the con-
trary.
II the wedding ring is dropped dur
ing the ceremony the bride may IS
well wish herself unborn. for she will
always have evil luck.
Kiss bride right after the ceremony
and before the newly made husband
has had a chance to do SO and you will
have excellent luck throughout the
year.

During the rest Of the year the pup
was daily exercised. On May Fl OF
this year Whitley and his Aleut took
the net away from the mouth Of the
cove, and, according to the programme
laid out, struck out in deep water for
the island of Onga, is miles away. The
voyage was made without mishap.
They afterward made a voyage from
Popoff to karluk Island.
1t Is the plan Of Whitley and his
Aleut, according to Col. Black. to leave
for San Francisco. going In easy stages.
It will probably be September l before
they reach San Francisco.

milk was obtained. and this time Bulls
hoy needed no coaxing to drink 1t.
For the next six weeks Whitley and
the Indian fed the pup twice every
day. The pup would stick his head
out Of the water, close to the landing,
and look out for his nurses long be-
fore the feeding time. 1t was not un-
til the following spring that the actual
training Of Bulshoy began to take def
mite form. Whitley one day said: Il
am going to train that pup so that l
can drive him to San Francisco"
He and Efteka were constantly to be
seen on the bay playing with Bulshoy,
who. by this time, had become so ac-
customed to his owner and nurse that
n. would come to them whenever they
called him from any part OF the bay,
and allow them to handle him at their
pleasure. While this process OF tam
Ing was going on Whitley had taken the
PUBS measure for a set OF harness, and
both he and his native spent he nights
for several weeks in making 1t.
The climax was reached on Friday.
September 20, 1895, when. for the first
time probably in the history OF the
world, four-year-old. twenty-five foot
whale was successfully put in harness.
When Whitley and Efteha, after putting
on his harness, started for the shore.
Bulshoy as usual started after the
bldarka. and in doing so made the dis
covery that everything was not as 1t
should be, and then he reared and
plunged around at lively rate, lash
ing the quiet waters of the bay into
foam in his efforts to free himself OF
the offending harness. But the har-
ness was we'll and strongly made and
there was no shake-oh to 1t.
Bulshoy kept up his antics for two
whole days. Next morning he refused
to come to the call Of either Whitley
or the Aleut. Hunger. however. soon
brought him to his senses. and on the
morning Of the third day, as the ma
tive was out on the bay In his BIZ
darka. Bulshoy came meekly along
side and seemed to beg for his break
fast. which was given him. From that
| day Bulshoy made no trouble.
On October Whitley and the native
took the long boat belonging to the
station and attaching tow line to the
harness band Immediately ahead Of the
fore flipper. began to cruise around thu
bay, and in a surprisingly short time
according to Colonel Black. Bulshol
would pull the boat in any desired di
! rection.

THE COLD SPONGE BATH.
Not Ou,y Delig htful but IN Every Way
Beneficial.

Not Only Delight hut in Every Way
Beneficial.
Bathing is chiefly for cleanliness.
but it should be practiced also for It's
good effect upon the skin, the circula'
ton and nutrition.
1t affords an excellent stimulus for
the skin, improving the tone OF It's
minute network Of vessels, increasing
the excretion that Is carried on by its
glands, and thus relieves the kidneys
and liver OF much OF their work.
1t acts as an additional stimulus to
the circulation by causing the blood to
fow more thoroughly through all tho
organs OF the body as we'll az through
the minute blood vessels OF the skin
itself.
1t improves nutrition by causing .
more rapid removal OF the waste prod
ucts from the system.
One of the most invigorating forms
of bathing Is the cold sponge bath ia
ken in the morning before breakfast.
Persons who do not react readily after
such a bath, such as the very young.
the very old, or those who are serious
ly weakened by disease, should not
practice it. For person Of average
health, however, the cold bath is an ex-
cs..ont tonic.
After a cold sponge bath OF short
duration there is feeling OF well-be-
ing and exhilaration. The whole man
is refreshed. The mental faculties are
cleared, the muscles seem strengthened
and there is desire for both muscular
and mental work. There is also feel
ing Of warmth due to the dilatation OF
the blood vessels of the skin after the
contraction caused by the cold water.
