The Dog and Poultry departments at
the Dallas Fair, Sept. 2S to Oct. T.
Tuesday to Friday, will be on an ex-
tensive scale. A large tent is being
erected to accommodate exhibitors in
these departments. The wooden build
ings on the grounds are entirely too
small to hold the exhibits this year,
hence the erection of new buildings and
tents all over the grounds. Remember
the dates. Trains every hour of the
day. The lowest rates ever given to
Dallas by the railroad companies. ~

A TALKING ROBIN.
In Captivity 1t Has Learned Spcec
na WALL ns m p0rrnt

In Captivity 1t Has Learned Speech
as Well as n Parrot.
About a year ago a robins nest was
broken up in the neighborhoOd of No.
3S Wooster street, and of the young
birds fell from the nest to the ground.
1t was too young to fly, and was at the
mercy of cats, dogs, boys and other
mortal enemies of birds, when Miss
Edith Bartlett came to its rescue and
took the bird into her house. 1t was
provided with comfortable quarters iii
a cage, and the family became so at.
tached to it that when it reached the
flying age it was decided to keep it for
a pet rather than to turn it out in the
cold, unfeeling world in the dry season
when worms are scarce.
The bird showed remarkable intelli-
gence, and apparently took an interest
In what was going on in the family.
When the window swere open in the
fall til erobin began to initiate the
notes of the birds outside and the
whistle of the boys. Miss Bartlett be-
gan to teach the bird certain whistles,
and it became an adept. 1t was then
given lessons in speech; and how has
mastered the phrase, "Hurry up! hurry
up" which it enunciates with quite as
much d%istinctncss Al a parrot or other
talking bird. 1t continues to pick up
new styles of whistling and initiates
othe + birds by the hour.-Hartford
Post.

Miss M. E. T. has W admirers; n
light, the other dark; and while she
likes both of them she is quite partial
to the dark one. The one she cares
the least for has asked her to marry
him, but she does not wish to give an
affirmative answer because she hopes
the other may propose. If he does she
wonders If she should say Yes or
ask hin to wait until she has time TO
think about it. The dark young man
objects to the presence of the light one
and the young woman wonders if his
coming Is any bar to the proposal she
hopes for. He came the other night,
and after a most enjoyable call he
asked her for a good night kiss, which
she refused. She wonders if she did
right, but thinks that she did, although
he seemed very much hurt at her re-
fusal. She wants to know what she
should do under the circumstances.
Answer: You are certainly in a bad
predicament, and if you have any wish
to marry you might as we'll look out

thing to do. Try and win the affec-
ton of the man you like best. That is
every woman's privilege. When he
objects to the presence of the fair
young man, why not ask him why he
cares about, his coming. Some men
need a little encouragement, and others
are driven away by any decided show
Of preference. Unless one understands
the disposition and temperament it is
not easy to give really valuable and ap-
propriate advice. On general princi-
pies a young woman should not make
her attentions too marked. Custom
and prejudice are on the side of the
girl who is pleasant to all men and
devoted to none, until such time as the
young man who is seeking a wife ex-
presses his feelings and selects her as
his prospective LIido. Society is I'M
fortunately so constituted that a wom-
an must, to a great extent, conceal her
feelings and act in direct opposition to
the promptings of her own heart. This

Muslin Collars and Cuffs.

Muslin collars and cuffs are appear
ing under a thousand and N aspects,
and perhaps the most successful is the
collar cut into tabs, hemmed and ma
chine stitched; beneath this can be
worn the ribbon stock, or the ordinary
collar band will serve its purpose; or,
again, the plaid scarf tied in the front
into a short bow with aggressive ends.
Most of the new stocks are made of
plaid silk, and these are. according to
the latest edict of fashion, tied into a
short sailor knot after they have pass
ed through the buttonhole at the back
and crossed. A very ordinary alpaca
dress, with a bodice which pouched at
the back and front, looked quite attrac-
tive under the influence of a white
men collar and plaid necktie tied into
a sailor-knot, and a toque of black
straw decked with weird looking wings
in green and blue and violet and a scarf
of black chiffon.

Thanks, perhaps more than to any
thing else, to the successful use OF
hOming pigeons by the French govern
ment, both in military and naval ma
neuvers. there has been a great revival
of interest in the subject of the possS
bilities of the utilization of these birds
as a means of rapid communication,
says the New York Journal. The Med
ical Record and several of its contem-
poraries are urging the great benefits
that medical practitioners In sparsely
settled districts may derive from a
~rier-pigeon service. The idea seems to
have been successfully inaugurated by
several medical men. who have written
of their experiences. The plan is for
the doctor who is expecting a call from
n distant farm or hamlet beyond tele-
phone or telegraph service, to carry ono
or more homing pigeons to the point,
with instructions to release the feath
cred messenger when his services may
be required. The possibilities of the
homing pigeon have eve been esti-
mated fully.

Some Minor Indications Of the Hust-
ling Spirit of the Age.
"Block your hat while you watt" was
the first of the "while you wait" signs;
1t was once familiar; it is now not so
Otter seen; says the New York Sun.
Then came the sign: "Your shoes re-
paired While you wait" The first Of
these signs appeared in the Bowery.
Two expert workmGn sat iii the WIN
dow of the shoemaker's shop; working
busily. More men at work were seen
inside. There were comfortable chairs
for waiting customers, and newspapers
foc them to read. The shop filled a long
felt want. There is now a considerable
number of places In the city where
shoes are mended while you wait. On
the signs of some of them a schedule
of time required is given; so many min
utes for heeling and so many for SOL
ing.
In some tailor shops nowadays gar
ments are pressed while you wait, and
there are dentists offices in which you
may now have your artificial teeth re-
paired while you wait.
In summer time there are to be found
nowadays establishments where they
clean and press your straw hat willie
you wait. They are usually set up III
some vacant store in a busy street.
In some of these places one may see
half a dozen men sitting hatless, wait
ing, reading newspapers or looking on
at the men at work, who have, in the
different stages. three hats in hand at
once.
The modern "while you wait" signs
show the enterprise hat is all the time
on the lookout for new ways of making
money, and they show, also, the mod
ern tendency to do things and get them
out of the way.

According to the official statistics OF

According to the Official statistics Of
our m the first consignments
of Egyptian cotton coming directly to
the United States were received during
the fiscal year 1884, and amounted to
174,346 pounds. From this small be-
ginning our direct imports rapidly in
creased until in the fiscal year 1896
they had reached no less a figure than
Al, 1874, 769 pounds. With the excep-
ton Of Egypt, the only cotton-produc-
ing country from which the United
States imports any considerable
amount is Peru. The Peruvian cotton,
like the Egyptian, owes its use in this
country to certain pe~culiarities of quail
Aity that make 1t better fitted for some
special purposes than our own vari-
cites. but neither the Peruvian nor the
Egyptian can properly be said to come
into direct competition with our ma
tive cottons. AS compared with the
Egyptian. however. the quantity of
Peruvian cotton imported is very
small. The largest importation ever
recorded, that for the fiscal year 1893,
amounted to only 3.411. 619 pounds.
