a small fox terrier, and was a tramp

Philadelphia named Davis. The poor
dog and the rich man became insepara-
BILE, and when Davis became ill the dog
was greatly affected, and would neither
eat nor sleep. Davis died, and the dog
would not be quoted until after the
body had been inferred in the cemetery.
Davis love for the canine was SO great
that he willed $4,000 to the dog.
The condition of the dog would not
improve in Philadelphia, SO the phys;-
clan ordered a change of climate. 1t was
suggested that he be taken to Denver.
He was taken there in the hope that
the change of air might benefit his
lungs. At the present time the dog, in
common with the family of the dead
man, is quartered at the leading fash
ionable hotel of Denver.
T 1t is an interesting question whether
the $4,000 reverts to the family in the
event of the dogs death, which is GER
tain, or goes to the State of Pennsyl-
vania

The movements in the Upper Nile
country show the changes that have
taken place in the Egyptian army. At
the time Gen. Hicks and his 10000
troops were defeated his force consist
ed of Egyptian fellahin, poorly discip-
lined and wanting in courage. Long
continued abuses had made it ineffec-
tive. The brutality of the native Off

old army were selected on no fixed
principle, and there was no provision
for the comfort of the privates. Some
times they received the little pay prom
Used them but more frequently the
officers confscated tiff they happen
ed to be short of funds, which was
usually the case. Such were the troops
vanquished by the Mahdi. The en-
gagement in Ginnis in 1885, where
Gen. Wolseley was in command, was
the first check to the Soudanese, flush

part of the Egyptian forces, revenged
themselves on their old-time Oppres-
sors. These men now comprise a large
part of the khedive's forces. Against
the old army were opposed the legions
of the Mahdi, jealous in the belief their
leader was inspired, of ferocious cour-
age, and Indifference to all danger.
Now the Egyptian army is thoroughly
trained. Many of the officers are Eng
lismmen, and it has proved its efficacy
on many a hardfought field around
Wady Halfy. The new army is the
creation mainly of Sir Evelyn Wood,
and it's present condition is due to the
English officers. In fact they have
changed the character of the nation so
far as it is involved in the conduct of
war. A large part of the force is now
made up Of the "black" men, the her.

good fighters. Most of the tribes that
followed the Mahdi to victory have
been alienated by the oppressive acts
of his successor, who is sure of the de-
votion Of only a small part of the prov
inces.

oyer-heating. The architect of to-day
settles this difficulty in his plans. If
the matter is left to him, steam-heating
becomes a delight to the householder,
as it gives sure and equable tempera-
ture in the most extreme weather,
and at minimum Of cost for fuel.
The humping in the radiators,
which forms a prime objection to the
system in the mind of those who re-
member the experimental stage Of
steam heating, is entirely obviated by
the use Of the improved apparatus. 1t
is caused, of course, by the condensing
of steam in the radiators, and when
this water is properly conducted back
into the boiler the system is as noise
less as hot air or hot water heating.
The accompanying design is for a
country villa in which the plans call FOR
simple and inexpensive steam-heating
plant.

A dispatch from Des Moines assures

mankind that the Farmer Johnson's
philosophers stone story is no joke.
Johnson seriously claims to have dts
covered that Crookes' tube ray will
transmute certain kind Of base metal
into gold. To speak more correctly,
what he claims is that nearly 20 per
cent. of this metal is gold and that the
single ray has disclosed this fac. by
dissolving out the base metal and leav-
ing the pure gold. What the metal is
Johnson doesn't tell. That is his secret
for all it is worth, which may not be
much after he begins to lay in big
stock of the bonanza metal. For an
other thing, it is not the x ray, but what
he calls the Y ray, that does the bust
ness. 1t is not cathode but an anode
ray. All that is now lacking is Il
ray, with power to impart perpetual
motion to things, including useful hui
man beings, such as Johnson.

President Diaz devoted a large part
of his message to the Mexican Con-
gress to the Monroe doctrine. He ex-
planned that Mexico had not felt called
upon to define it's attitude upon the
boundary dispute between Venezuela
and British Guiana, in the absence of
such information as was possessed by
the United States. Now as that crisis
has passed, he expresses the opinion
that Mexico should assist the repubncs
Of this hemisphere against the attacks
of Europe, if such attacks are possible
He suggests that each Of these republics
should adopt a declaration like that Of
President Monroe, making it clear that
any attempt by foreign power to cur
tail the territory or independence or to
alter the institutions of any one of the
republics would be regarded by the
others as an attack upon themselves.

architecture, has brought many new
problems to the builders. There has
been a complete revolution in methods
Of construction. One of the minor ways
in which this manifests itself is in the
matter of heating. 1t goes without say
ing that the old style hOt-air furnace
is incapable of any development that
would fit it for the sky-Scraping struc-
ture one now finds on every city block;
nor would it suit the huge rambling
country houses that have taken the
place of the square, box-like building
that contented our forefathers. The
world of the present day is not the
world of twenty-five years ago. Steam
heating, it is true, had it's origin be-
fore these architectural changes had
made themselves felt; but it was crude
at first, and has developed to it's pres
ent perfection under the spur of neces-
sity.
With it's many early imperfections
heating was slow in coming into
favor, and there are to-day many wor-
thy persons who hold rooted aversion
to it, based upon unhappy experience.
1t is not difficult to understand the rea-
son for this when one visits building
equipped with a steam-heating ap-
paratus of a score or more years ago.
The temperature is scarcely even bear
able, for with the steam turned on the
rooms become torrid; if it is turned off
they become frigid, and there seems to
be no happy medium. Added to this
very vital objection, when the steam is
first admitted to the radiators, one
might as we'll live in a boilershop. The
humping and changing is enough to
craze a person of nervous susceptible.
ties.
In view of the splendid results that
are now obtained in steam-heating, il
is needless to say that these faults are
not due to the system, but to the ignor-
ant application of it. Where the heat
cannot be properly and perfectly. regu-
lated, there has been no scientific adj

There is not any virtue the exercise
of which, even momentarily, will not
impress a new fairness upon the fea-
lures; nor on them only, but on the
whole body the moral and intellectual
faculties have operation, for all the
movements and gestures, however
slight, are different in their modes ac-
cording to the mind that governs them;
and on the gentleness and decision of
right feeling follows grace of action,
and, through continuance of this, grace
