Dog Eating in Mexico.

The dog meat business continues,
despite the stern examples that have
been made of its venders. A police
man seized man named Genaro
Perez, passing through the alley of
Los Gachupines, who bore a suspi-
cious-looking bag, which, on ex-
animation, disclosed the skinned car
cass of large dog with the lower
part of the legs cut off SO as to pre-
vent the easy recognition OF its spe-
cies. Monsieur Perez was taken to
the police station to the third Demar-
cacion to be examined as to the ante.
cedents of his dog meat, which. it is
shrewdly suspected. was destined to be
made into savory dishes sold at the
puestos under the arcades. We are
getting fast to be like Canton, and
other big Chinese towns, where dog is
sold without shame and partaken Of

The Reason Why.

81 wonder If this new woman
movement will result in the erectio n
of monuments to women," she said
thoughtfully.
cit WON'T" he replied rather
promptly.
81 don't see why she persisted,
at seems to me that women have
been slighted in that line. Why
shouldn't there be statues of great
women as we'll as great men ?"
"How would statue with puffed
sleeves look ?"
"I don't see why it wouldn't look
all right" she replied.
sBut how would it look after puffed
sleeves had gone out of fashion ?" he
asked.
81 never thought of that" she ans
wered. "But l do not see why
they could not change the statue as
the fashions changed; and I guess they
will do it, too, when women are in
full control of things" - Chicago

Even a Camera May Lie.

Photographers, especially amateur
photographers, wiRIQos. hat ths. 9.
camera cannot lie. This only proves
that photographers, especially anna
teur photographers can; for the dry
plate can fib as badly as the canuas on
occasion, and is actually more per
nicious because of its undes erved rep
utation of veracity.
Who would believe ghost story
on the uncorroborated evidence of
painters picture? Yet a photograph
of a house at Halesowen, taken a few
dsys ago, included the likeness of the
wealthy lady who vacated it six
months back. As she vacated it for
the church yard, the plate appropri.
ately enough exhibited her dressed in
shroud, and SO convincing was this
very counterfeit presentiment that a
regular ghost scare broke out, and
several women averred that they could
see the dead lady at the window.
On Saturday it was discovered that
it was all due to some flaw in the pho.
tographic apparatus, just as in very
similar case at Ipswich some time ago.
There the view represented back
water off the lower Clipping, and in
the water there was clearly outlined a
drowned female form waist, bust
hair, features and all. They actually
dragged the river to see what they
could find, and found nothing. Curl
ously enough, a woman was really
drowned at the very spot few weeks
later, SO the Ipswich photography seems
to be as previous as Halesowen is ret
respective. Pail Mall Gazette.

Riches in Pennsylvania Rivers.

The coal deposits in the Schuylkill
River now reach as far south as Read
ing, where the bed of the stream is
covered with coal several inches thick,
in a semi-solidified form. It has been
found that the deposit in the river bed
from Pottsville to Reading, nearly
forty miles, makes splendid fuel The
coal is scooped out and dried, when it
is ready for use. The river coal in
dustry now extends to Reading, apd is
gradually working farther down
stream. Reading is almost fq miles
below the last coal mine, andS.e par
ticles of black diamond have been car
ried that far by the current. There
is plenty of coal in the Susquehanna
River at Harrisburg, which is many
miles below the mines. The Lehigh
at its mouth, at Easton, is black at
times with the anthracite, and the bed
of the stream is covered. It is esti-
mated by conservative operators that
the coal in the three rivers is worth
many hundred thousand dollars, or
far more than the sands of the golden
lined streams of the Sierras. -Phila-
delphia Recorder.

Blow, winds, your rage but shakes the tree
And roots 1t surer In Its place
Scatter your rain, ye clouds. and free
The buds that wait your frowning grace
Roll down, o river, to the sea
And widen In your onward race!
Peace through sunny span mny keep
His garden In some quiet glen.
whilst others SOW for him and reap
And lend his flocks on moore and fen:
The flowers OF Peace are death and sleep;
The strife Of living makes us men.
All, joy 1t is to win the goal
BY tireless work and dauntless will.
Yet may the life rise orbed and whole
From clouded hopes, and loss, and i'll:
Our baffled tolls upbulld the soul,

Agricultural Notes.

The good farmer sees many har-
rowing sight.
A farmer may be toothless and yet
have many an acre.
IT makes farmer have a wry face
to see his grain crop short.
A farmers face may be smooth, al
though his fields are furrowed.
The farmer should always sleep in
bed, but never in the celery bed.
Sometimds farmer looks as seedy
as his farm in the spring.
To farmer corn in the field is
worth much more than corn on the
toe.
The farmers crop differs from a
chickens and is generally more valu-
able.
Some farmers are very slow, al
though they may have any quantity of
hops.
A good farmer likes to turnip the
soil, even il he should get beet in
doing SO.
Many farmer is small potatoes
himself though he raises large ones
for the market.
When heifer farmer starts to rals-
ing stock he shouldn't let ANYTHING
COW him in an attempt to bull the
market. Florida Times Union.

Influenza Among Cats and Dogs.

Mortality from influenza seems to
be very common among cats and dogs.
1t was reported at the annual meeting
of the Glasgow Cat and Dog Home
six per cent in the case of dogs and
twenty-four per cent in the case OF
cats had occurred by outbreaks of in.
fiuenza was much lower among the
stray ones than among the boarded
ones. How often, we wonder, could
an attack of the disease on human
being be traced to infection from cat
or dog? More frequently, we sus-
pect, than is generally supposed. =

PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

Pity is often envy in disguise.
The poor are tho truly generous.
A man gives reasons; q woman ex

All sensible girls are not necessarily

Where there is a will there is usually
a lawyer.
Good advice is the kind you keep
to yourself.
Original sin was preceded by the
original sinner.
A dead level is a hard climb to
good many people.
The advanced woman is advancing
in the wrong direction.
A pessimist is an optimist whose
dreams didn't come true.
The top rounds of the ladder OF
fame are few and far apart.
The woman who married for love
usually sees that her daughter doesn't.
Love your enemies but keep away
from them till they begin to love
you.
A man is known by the books h'
reads; woman by those she doesn''
read.
The man who always says he thinks
will soon acquire a reputation as 6
cynic.
Women are considered strong
minded when they cc...e to care fol

A New Ship Canal.

The New Orleans Pic1yune says:
Carnegie and other owners ofiron aud
steel works at Pittsburg are asking
congress for an appropriation to build
n ship canal from Lake Erie to Pitts
burg. They offer as an argument III
favor of the enterprise that if there
was ship canal from great manu-
featuring point to the lakes, the
United States could build warships at
a distance from the lakes without v;o-
lating the provisions OF the old treaty,
under which each nation can have but
two armed vessels for lake service, and
that the vessels SO built could be trans
ferred to the lakes immediately after
q declaration of war. This would be
ON excellent argument in favor of es-
tablishing a government ship yard at
some point on the Chicago drainage
canal. This canal is already built, or
is nearing completion. Armed steel
vessels for the protection OF the lakes
could be built at an interior point IN
Illinois and held ready for service
without violating treaty regulations.
Also. the United States would not
have to build $40, 900, 900 ship canal
to make a channel for the ships to get
to the lakes, as the channel is already
nearly completed by Chicago enter
prise and money.
