before. The band is doing excellent
work.
The crowd sort of took to promenad-

kept warm until the sun came out to
start complexions. There was some
fear expressed that the clouds would
keep the cattle owners away and that

NAMING A DOG.

James S. Lane, of LenOx avenue, is
one of the most enthusiastic dog fan
ciers of Harlem, and prides himself
not only on the blood and cleverness
of his pets, but on their unique names.
He never owned Jack" or TRAY"
or Rover" but gives his dogs appel
lations that he believes were never be-
fore applied to CANNES. He bought a
brindle bull terrier pup last week and
at once set his wits at work to evolve
unique name for him. Mr.. Lane
called on his minister, who also has a
weakness for dogs, and took his new
pet with him. Isn't he a beauty?
said Mr.. Lane. Il have daisy name
for him, too-one that you have never
known APPLIED to dog. L call him
Crab" His ministerial friend said
nothing, but, going to the bookcase.
took down a copy of Shakespeare, and
turning to the first speech of Launce,
in scene 8, act 2, of the Two Gentle
men of Vernon, laid it before Mr..
Lane. 81 think, Crab, my dog, be the
sourest natured dog that lives" were
the words he read.-New York Herald.

FROZEN MILK IN BLOCKS.
Copenhagen Is Building Plant For
Its Manufacture.

Copenhagen Is Building a Plant For
Its Manufacture.
Milk may be bought by the brick in
summer, just the same as some kinds
of ice cream. 1t will be frozen solid,
| though, and if intended for use as
soon as received in the household the
lacteal fluid for the tea or coffee will
have to be Clipped off with the handle
of the knife or fork, according to the
quantity desired in the drink. Perhaps
at the Waldorf, at Delmonico's and
other resorts of the wealty the frozen
milk may be seen in cubes, like sugar,
or in pats, like butter, and a man may
order lump of milk with his coffee
and rolls, as well as a lump of sugar
or another pat of butter, please"
From a fad. frozen milk has grown
to be more or less of a necessity in the
warmer countries in Europe, and some
of the larger dairymen in and about
New York are seriously discussing the
practibility of introducing the custom
as an experiment during the coming
hot months. 1t is claimed that if the
milk should be first frozen it is just as
impervious to the gathering of disease
germs as in boiled milk or water
Many persons do not take kindly to
the idea of frozen milk. Fresh milk
in cans, they claim, can be kept fresh
for 16 hours, and if it does not remain
sweet for that length of time, they
conclude that the milk was not fresh
when poured into the cans, or that the
cans were not clean.
The trade in foreign importatiOus of
frozen milk and cream is yet in its in
fancy, but advices recently received
by American dairymen indicate that
the industry will be speedily develop
ed to greater proportions, especially in
HOllCnd. The Belgian government de-
signs to increase the trade at an an
nual outlay of $4,000, and in CoCen-
hagen, the capital of Denmark, coin
pany has been formed and arrange
ments have been completed for the
regular export of frozen milk. The
necessary plant has been erected, and
contracts have been made already for
the delivery of 10000 pounds per
week, which will be sent to all parts
of the world in bricks or blocks like
ice.
If the lines laid down to European
countries were closely followed the
health inspector would arrange these
lists so that simultaneous occurrence
of infectious diseases in a number of
families served by the same ice milk
man would be promptly discovered
and the mischief checked.-New York |

TORNADO FREAKS.
the Washington Post.

From the Washington Post.
Near my old home in Marshall
county, Kan.," said Mr.. G. A. A.
Deane, of Little Rock, Ark, at the
Hotel Page, there occurred a cyclone
the other day that performed a queer
feat. 1t struck the house of a former
neighbor of mine and scattered
things in various directions. A few
days after he got letter that had
been carried by the wind and dropped
in small town in Nebraska, sixty
five miles to the northeast, and not
long afterward some considerable
stranger mailed him his check book
that had been found away down in
Missouri, 100 miles to the southwest.
Now the truth of these statements
l will vouch for, as they are made by
one of the most reliable men l ever
knew. Why the two articles should
have been carried in opposite direc-
tions | am unable to eXplain-it's too
deep for the unscientific mind, and |
commend it to some of Uncle Sans
tornado experts in Washington"

ENGLISH LANGUAGE.

Wen will begin with box, and the
plural is boxes, .....
But the plural of OK should be oxen,
not oXes.
I Then one foul is a goose, but two are
called geese,
Yet the plural of moose would never
be meese.
You may find a lone mouse or a whole
nest of mice,
But the plural of house is houses, not
hice.
If the plural of man is always called
men,
Why shuldn't the plural of pan be
called pen.
Then n COW in the plural may be cows
or kline,
But bow if repeated is never called
bine
And the plural of VOW is VOWS, never
vine.
If 1 speak of foot and you show me
your feet
And l give you a boot, would pair
be called beet?
If one is a tooth and a whole set are
teeth.
Why couldn't the plural of both be
beeth?
If the singular's this and the plural
is these,
Then one may be that and three would
be those,
Yet the plural of hat would never be
hose,
And the plural of cat is eats, not
coSe.
We speak of a brother and also OF
brethren,
But though we say mother we never
say methren,
Then the masculine pronOuns are he,
his and him.
But imagine the feminine she shis
and shin.
So the English think you will all
agree,
Is the Querest language you ever did
see.

THE CAUSE OF APATHY.

1T cannot be denied that the mis-
fortunes which have overtaken the
Democratic party in Texas and, in
deed, in the whole country, is directly
due to a lack of interest on the part
of individual Democrats. And it is
equally true that this apathy has been
produced largely by a moral coward
ice on the part of some of the leaders
of the party and failure to use the
principles for which Democrats have
always commended. Had the last Ma
tional convention came squarely out
for honest money instead of attempt
ing to conciliate an element which
rightfully belonged to the POpulists
the party would have commanded
more respect from every quarter and
its policy would have been so well
settled that its enemies would have
been driven from out its pale and it
would have been saved the humila-
ting experience which seemed to con
front it in which the most ridiculous
deeds are to be committed in the
name of Democracy.
'The principles of democracy are
not dead. Men other than Democrats
in their ideas and opinions may cap
ture the party machinery and for a
time prostitute the organization, but
it's principles will ever march on until
God Almighty himself, for some in
scrutable reason, shall declare that
time shall be no more on earth for
ever. And it will be recognized and
the party will live on brighter and
better for the ordeal through which
it will have passed. and then the
party will be true to its principles and
it's members true to their party
