Dog Nelson Uses Queer Means of Dis
posing of SnarIing Cur.

Dog Nelson Uses queer means OF DlS-
posing OF Il snarIing Cur.
The London Spectator tells dog
story of unusual quality:
Nelson was one of ourselves. Where
we went he went. He was especially
fond of following our trap, and moth
ing, not even his dog friends, could di-
vert him from his faithful attendance at
our wheels.
One summer we were staying at the
west coast village of Saltcoats, where
the sands are broad and fiat, and we
often drove along the road skirting the
bay. Nelson followed, of course. The
dogs of the village seldom molested or
interrupted him, but one rash little
terrier repeatedly rushed out of his gar
den gate as we passed, and bit at Nell
sons heels.
Time after time Nelson declined 10
notice the insult, but one day his pa
tience became exhausted. Turning
around he caught the unhappy terrier
by the back of the neck, carried him
down the sands and into the water
chest deep, put his paw on him and
drowned him, and then carried him
back to the dry sand and laid him out
there.
One crunch of his jaws would have
done the deed, and more quickly; but
it seemed as if Nelson had no personal
animosity against the dog, or at least
had suppressed it, but concluded that
the world would be better off without
such a snarling cur.

HERE'S A NUT TO CRACK.
A Puzzle That May Give q Leisure Mind
Something to Think OF.

EOuetHInB 70 OIs
I have found the following interest

Sir Walter Besant. have no recollec-
ton at all CT its origin. Perhaps every
body knows it. Perhaps everybody does
not. Those who do not will find it.
think. unless they bring algebra to bear
upon 1t, rather tough nut to crack.
Here it is. Once there were three mig
gers-their wickedness is a negligible
quantity; it does not enter into tho
problem-who robbed an orchard, car
ried away the apples in sack, laid
them up In barn for the night and
went TO bed. One Of them woke up be-
fore dawn, and, being distrustful of
his friends, thought he would make
sure Of his share at once. He therefore
went to the barn, divided tho apples in
to three equal Eeaps-there was one
over, which he threw away-and car
ried off his share. Another niger then
woke up with the same uueasiness and
the same resolution. He, too, divided
the apples into three heaps-there was
one over, which he threw away-took
his share. and carried it off. And then
the third niger woke mp with the same
emotions. He, too, divided the remain
ing apples into three portions-there
was one over, which he threw away
took his share and departed.
In the morning every one preserved
silence over his doings of the night;
they divided the apples which were left
into three heaps-one was over, which
they threw away-and SO took each his
share. How many apples were there in
the sack? There are many possible an
swers-a whole series of numbers-but
let US have the lowest number of apples
possible. Senior wranglers must be good
enough not to answer this question.
Moralists, if they please, may narrate
the subsequent history Of these three
niggers, apart from the problem of their
apples.

The Clowworra Cavern.

The greatest wonder of the antipodes
is the celebrated glowworm cavern,
discovered in 1891 in the heart of tho
Tasmanian wilderness. The cavern or
caverns (theIe appears to be series Of
such caverns in the vicinity, each sepa-
rate and distinct) are situated near the
town Of Southport, Tasmania, in lime
stone bluff, about four miles from Ida
bay. The appearance Of the main cav
ern is that Of an underground river, the
entire floor Of the subterTanean passage
being covered with water about a foot
and half in depth. These wonderful
Tasmanian caves are similar to all cav
ems found in limestone formation, with
the exception that their roofs and sides
literally shine with the light emitted
by the millions of glowworms which in
habit them.-St. Louis Republic.

COLOR SCHEME FOR SMALL HOUSE.
Let Old Blue Predominate In Parlor. L.
brary and Dining Room.

brary and Dining Room.
How few people when furnishing
small house or fiat remember that old
blue is one Of the happiest colors to
choose for foundation, writes Frances
Ann Hoadley in The Ladies' Home
Journal. In a house where, as rule,
all the rooms open into one another, es
pecial care must be taken to preserve
harmony. 1t is better then to select one
color which shall run through all the
rooms. Old blue is the color par excel
lence in such case, combined with tan,
gray or white for the rugs, while the
same scheme prevails in the heavy dra-
peries.
A lovely little house in mind has
parlor and library in one. The large
rug, covering the greater part Of the
room, is old blue and gray. In front of
the fireplace is a long, light gray fur
one. 4 bread, low lounge is covered
with dark gray. 1t is always better to
cover a lounge in a solid color, as it
takes more kindly to the pillows Of end
less hues. The large dining room rug
is old blue and tan, with smaller rugs
Of tawny brown. The bedroom has an
old blue and white large rug and white
fur smaller ones. Let old blue predomi
nate everywhere in the floor furnishings
and draperies, but not to the exclusion
Of all other coiors elsewhere, for where
one color only is used the effect as a
whole is fiat. Let there be odd bright
color touches in the way CT pillows,
lamp shades, odd bits Of china and
brio -brac, but with always an eye to
what is the proper color for each room.
When all furnished be careful to see
whether all of the rooms blend into q
beautiful harmony.
In o bedroom white enareled or birds
eye maple is exquisite where tive CT
three pieces of fresh old mahogany are
added. Each heightens the others beau
ty in q most charming manner. A room
furnished entirely in mahogany gives
a heavy, dismal effect, but in parlor
small house, place a large. quantity
carved old desk and one of those highly
polished. round card tables, and see
what an mir they give to the modern
and equally beautiful furniture. In the
dining room square mahogany table
with a surface like glass, and even g
small buffet or china cabinet, will be
quito enough Of the antique to set OFF
everything else in the room. Have ex-
quisitely drawn linen doilies, candles in
rose colored shades and a profusion Of,
say, pink carnations and you have a
lovely lunch table. In house the hall
should be a leading Misunderstanding,
not cold, bare and cherries, repelling
one from further acquaintance with the
house and its mistress. A hall is like
an introduction.

Thin Skinned Oranges.

1t has often been questioned why
orange growers will graft and plant
varieties with thick skins when the
great public appreciates thin Skinned
one more highly. Asking a grower, II
not one of the secrets of the orange
growing trade, why this was thus, he
replied that the thin skinned kinds were
rarely as productive rs the thick skinned
ones-that the public would give nc
moro for box Of thin skins than for q
box Of thick ones-and as there was
consequently more profit in growing
orange skins than in growing orange
flesh the skins carried the day.
