SOME ROYAL DOGS.
Nearly All the Sovereigns of Europe Are
Fond of Canine Pets,

- O~-AAAAC
Nearly every one of the sovereigns
of Europe, it appears, has one or more
pet dogs. The collies of Queen Victoria,
the fox terriers of Princess Beatrice,
with Jock as prime favorite, are known
at least by hearsay to every body.
The emperor Of Russia is also great
lover of dogs. A London paper reports
that he is always accompanied in his
walks by couple of fine Danish
hounds, whose strength and vigilance
their master considers his best safe
guard. The grave car is often seen
playing with these monster pets. He
himself has taught them their tricks.
and they are nearly always about him.
The king of Greece shares the czar's
taste for the Danish hounds, which are
as intelligent as they are strong, and
which, with hardly bark to announce
their intentions, will fly at the throat
Of any one whom their master may
point out to them in case Of need.
When the empress Of Austria goes on
her long walks or rides, several pet
dogs always accompany her. But per-
haps the most widely known of all the
royal dogs" of the present day is
Black. the pet dog of the Russian Grand
Duke Alexis.
Black is a sportsman's dog, of no
very aristocratic breed. Indeed, if the
truth must be teld, he is a member of
the race of mongrels which the fisher
men in the south of France take out to
sea, employing them to recapture any
willy fish that may fall through the
meshes of their nets or slip suddenly
back into its element after it has been
once landed on board the barge Black
is still rejoicing in the days of his
youth, but his record, not only as a
common fisherman but as fisher of
men, p" is already great, for he has saved
no fewer than six persons from watery
grave.
Some three or four years ago the
Grand Duke Alexis was staying al
Biarritz. One stormy night he went out
on the cliff to get view of the angry
sea. A boat was just being wrecked be-
low, and he saw dog dashing with
angry growls and banks into the water
and bringing to land, one by one, three
drowning men, while the crowd cheered
the brave mongrel to the echo. The
grand duke approached to oaress the
dog, and the animals master then
offered Black to him, refusing to accept
any payment.-St. Louis Post Dispatch.

The Ancient Umbrella.

On coins in the rock carvings of the
ancients the umbrella often shows its
familiar form This goes to prove that
Jonas Hanway did not invent the um.

ashton to carry this useful article.
There must be great difference be-
,ween the umbrella of the eighteenth
century and the modern steel ribbed,

,eearded as a misfortune to get wet -

An Acid Proof Glue.

The following has been recommended
as producing cement which will fas-
ten glass or porcelain, ETC., together
firmly and will not be affected by strong
acids: Mix together two parts of pow
dered asbestus, one part of barium sui
plate and two parts of sodium silicate of
specific gravity l.50 A still firmer glue
can be made which is particularly valua-
BILE, since it is not attacked by hot acids,
by mixing together two parts of sodium
silicate, one part of the finest sand and
one part of finely pulverized asbestus.
If potassium silicate is used instead of
the sodium salt, the glue will harden
Immediately, but otherwise it will re-
quire about an hour to set. Exchange.

The Fact that Doctors

frequently advise change of air and eli
mate to those suffering from catarrh is
proof that catarrh is a local and climate
disease. Therefore, unless you can leave
home and business, you should use Ely's
Cream Balm. Applied directly to the
seat of the disease, it effects instant relief
and satisfactory cure after short con.
tinuance. No mercury nor injurious drug
is contained in the Balm.

Better Known In England.

1t is said that the late Daniel Green
leaf Thompson of this city had his
books published in England not from
any lack of patriotism, but because the
serious works that he produced found a
much better market in England. Like
General Walker, he was much better
known as an author in England than he
was III his own country. He belonged
to the individualist school, and it is
perhaps curious fact that, while
Americans are instinctively as individ-
ualistio as any people in the world,
their controversial literature affords
few good examples of the expression of
indlvldualistic social or economic theo-
rles. Boston Transcript

No human being can come into the
world without increasing or diminish
ing the sum total Of human happiness,
not only of the present, but of every
subsequent age of humanity. No one
can detach himself from this conneo-
ton. There is no sequestered spot in
the universe, no dark niche along the
disk of nonexistence to which he can
retreat from his relations to others,
where he can withdraw the influence of
his existence upon the moral destiny of
the world. Everywhere he will have
companions who will be better or worse
for his influence. New York Ledger

SERVANTS IN JAPAN.



Are Treated with Consideration.
Japanese servants are excellent if you
choose them with discretion and treat
them with the established consideration
of the country. There is universal So
cial compact in Japan to make life
pleasant by politeness. Everybody is
more or less we'll bred and hates the
man or woman who is yakamashu-
noisy, uncivil or exigent.
People who lose their temper are al
ways in hurry, bang doors, swear and
swagger, find themselves out Of place
in land where the lowest cody learns
and practices an ancient courtesy from
the time when he wabbles about as a
baby upon his mothers back Therefore
indeed, elsewhere-you must treat every
body, including your domestics, well,
and then you will enjoy the most pleas
ant and willing service.
Your cook will doubtless cheat you a
little, your jinrikisha man will now
and then take too much sake, the mus
mu and the boys wife will gallop all
over the place about everything you do,
and the gardener and the coachman will
fight cocks in the back yard when your
back is turned, but if conscious Of your
own you can forgive the little sins of
others. You can hardly fail to become
closely attached to the quiet, soft voiced,
pleasant people, who as soon as they
have learned your ways will take real
pleasure in making life agreeable to you.
A present now and then of kimono
to the maids, of toys and sweetmeats to
the children, days holiday now and
then granted to the theater or the wres-
Ting match are richly rewarded by such
bright faces and unmistakable warmth
of welcome on arriving and of good
speed on going as repay you tenfold.
Respectful as japanese servants are
and they never speak except on their
knees and faces-they like to be taken
into the family conversation and to sit
sometimes in friendly abandon with the
master and mistress, admiring dresses,
pictures or western novelties and listen
ing sometimes to the samisen and kotC
as children of the household. Edwin
| Arnold in Scribner's.
