elry, but ocoasicnaIly foolish mistress
has a bracelet made for her darling
'front.' leg. Collars are sometimes exloen-
sive trinksts and may cost well up into
the hundreds of dollars. A New York
woman once had made for her dog
collar Of solid silver, attached to which
was a set of chatelaine trinkets which
exactly duplicated those she wore her
self Toilet sets for dogs are also made.
They contain large variety Of combs,
brushes, nail files and like articles and
cost all the way from $50 to 500.
AS for the dainties upon which pet
dogs are fed, they are innumerable. Each
dandy develops ecoentricities Of appetite
Of his own and is not happy unless his
pampered palate is tickled daily by his
favorite dishes Sometimes it is for
game that doggie hunRers, and there is
a story told of one high bred terrier who
would turn up his nose at anything less
choice than broilcd breast of pheasant
served on a silver platter. French hon
bons, ice cream, cake and all sorts of
choice sweetmeats form a part Of the
ordinary diet Of these pets Of fashion,
and their mistresses take pride in show
ing OF bis dogship's gastronomical &C.
centricities.
No wonder dog doctors and dog den
lists are often in demand and that dog
hospitals flourish. The dog dentiat is
particularly a busy man. Naturally
dogs teeth do not require any attention,
but after they have been Eubsisting for
months on an unnatural diet their teeth
begin to show the effects, and, although
they enjoy many pleasures which their
more democratic brothers of the streets
never heard of, yet they have 70 pay for
it by their suffering with toothaohe and
in the dentists chair. Sometimes false
teeth take the place of the natural ones
that have been destroyed by candy and
other daintiea. A Chicago dog dentist
once made a complete set Of teeth for a
pet setter. Each tooth had to be manu-
featured separately, and then the plate
had to be fitted to doggie's mouth. The
bill for the job was $3.50 and was paid
without a murmur By the wealthy
woman who owned the unfortunate
beast. Gases Of filing dogs teeth with
gold are frequent
Dog doctors also charge good prices
for their work. Most of them run dog
hospitals, where they can take the pa
tients and have absolute care Of them
for few weeks Often the animal IS
found to be suffering from nothing but
want of exercise and too rich food. A
week or two with dog biscuit as diet
and daily run about the yard soon
brings them around all right.
Dog etiquette is carried to the utmost
limit only ia Paris. In that city, where
the wcrd home is unknown, it is con-
sidered extremely bad taste for a lady
to be seen driving out with her chill
dren- If she wants to be entirely cor
rect, she leaves her children at home
and takes her dog along.
Each aristocratic canine has his call
ing cards. which are left with those Of

carry their fondness for dogs he would
have used a different and more appro-
pirate metaphor, for Homer was very
particular about such things.
Ia fact. the modern pet dog is just
beginning to have his day. And such a
day it is. Sensible persons will scarcely
credit the extent to which feminine
fOOlishness ia regard to pet dogs is car
ried. Now, almost every one admires
dogs, and nearly every dog owner will
own up to being guilty Of q certain
amount Of mild lunacy in petting them,
but all must agree that some of the
extrsvaganoes which the fashionable
worldlings go to in their treatment Of
their canine pets is rank idiocy.
Tt is in Paris, that city Of eccentric
modes. that the aTistocracy Of the dog
is most complete. London society wom-
en- are almost as inane. and the fashion
ables of New York and Chicago are fast
adopting these seuseleas customs.
There are very few Of the women
who pose as leaders OF society in either
of these four cities who do not own from
one to half dozen toy dogs. Some Of
them employ maids whose sole duties
are to look after the wants of these
canine swelIs. A few years ago about
the only method Of pampering the pets
was to load them with jeweled collars
and feed them on expensive dainties- OF
late years, however the equipment Of
toy dogs has been increased until it
now cuts a pretty figure in the expense
account which tho indulgent husband
has to settle
The canine aristocrat Of today not
only wears collars of gold and silver
which sometimes blaze with diamonds,
but he has complete costumes for every
occasion. He has his morning suit or
dress. his calling costume, his reception
gown and his robe de mutt or pyjamas.
He is 'tubbed'' regularly, he has his
morning walk ia the park with Jeems
or tho maid, he drives in the afternoon
and he is 8 prominent figure at teas and
receptions. In both Paris and London
there arc dog tailOrs who make a bust
mes Of furnishing dog clothes There are
dog hairdressers, dog dentists and dog
doctors.
London las even a dogs club. This
Institution is called the Dogs Toilet
club. It is located in New Bond street,
where it ia handy to the fashionable
quarters The club occupies luxuriOusly
furnished rooms and is used as a place
where wealthy dog owners may have
their pets barbered and bathed and
dressed according to the prevailing fash
ion. Perhaps you think that a dogs
toilet is a simple affair. Far from it. A
dandy dog must have his hair sham
pOoed, comhed, brushed and clipped.
His eyes must be bathed in rosewater,
his nails fled and oiled and polished
with all the art Of manicure, and then
he must be dressed in the mode before
he is ready TO appear in society.
1t is said that in Paris no less than
5000 dogs have their clothes made by
their own tailora An outfit Of plain
dog clothes may be bought for about $50.
This will include six nightgowus Of

chairman Of a campaign committee

TESLA,S NV IDEA.
He Has Just Secured q Patent on the
Electric Oscillator.

New York Oct. 2.-Nikola Tesla has
explained the principle Of the electrical
osciuator for which he has just OBJ
tanned a patent. He has been work
ing on the idea for ten years.
The object Of my oscillator," said
Mr.. Tesla, SIS to provide a simple, COM
pact and effective apparatus for pro-
ducing greater effects with existing
circuits carrying direct currents Prac-
teal electricity is too expensive. 1t
must be cheapened 50 that the multi
tude may take advantage Of it. That
is what [ am aiming at
MY new invention lis simply this. In
any given circuit 7 interpose a device
in the nature of q choking coil in order
to give the circuit q high self induction.
I also provide a circuit controller that
may be operated to make and break the
circuit. Around the point of Interrupt
tion 7 place a condenser 20 store the
energy Of the discharge current, and in
series with such condenser I place q
transformer which becomes the source
Of currents of high frequency
stInasmuch as the self induction Of
the circuit through which the condenser
discharges. as well as the capacity Of
the condenser Itself. may be given prac-
tieally and desired value the fre-
quency of the discharge current may be
adjusted at WILL

IFrom theAtIanta constitutional
DR. Chauncey NJ. Depew is another
man whose record on the money ques-
ton has given him some uneasiness of
late. although it must be said in justice
to his unwavering devotion to the mon
ey power that Dr. Depew has always
been a conseerated goldbug stin the
genial afterdinner speaker has been
guilty of some very indiscreet remarks.
In speaking OF the wonderful accumu-
lations which had been amassed in this
country within the last few years Dr.
Depew On one occasion said.
There are hfty men in New York
who can in twenty-four hours stop
every wheel on all railroads, close ev-
cry door Of all our manufactures, lock
every switch on an telegraph lines. and
shut down every coal and iron mine
in the United States They can do so
because they control the money which
this country produces"
Had the New York orator been the
most devoted friend of bimetaIisra in
this country he could not better have
portrayed the danger arising from the
money power than in the striking lam
seage which has just been quoted. 1t
