TWO VIRTUES DISAPPEARING.
Loyalty and ChivaIry Seem to BE
Out of the Fashion.

Loyalty and Chivalry Seem to BE
Out of the Fashion.
Loyalty seems to be one of the old
fashioned virtues which of late years
have become almost obsolete-loyalty
to ones friend, ones guest, even to the
members of ones family. 1t seems to
belong no longer to the ethics of mod
ern life. eyes, 1 am very fond of-so-
and-so," is the usual preface, but, "
and then follows the usual criticism,
which is generally exaggerated, is
often unkind, and almost always gives
disagreeable impression of the per-
son discussed. In old days it used to be
considered bad taste to criticise either
guest or host, but such intimate inter
course nowadays seems only to give an
added opportunity for satirical remark.
1t is literally true as society is at
present constituted that a person who
speaks well of friends is voted a bore,
while tongue that spares no one gives
its owner a decided popularity. Oddly
enough, however, the listeners who en-.
joy the gossip which in the nature
of things is necessarily ill-natured,
never seem to realize while they laugh
over the shortcomings of mutual ac-
quaintances that they themselves will
be the next victims, for it may be taken
as awell-proved rule that a person who
says sharp things of one friend will not
spare another. Every one of us is
vulnerable, and if our intimate friends
cannot "be to our virtues very kind, and
to our faults a little blind" whom can
we trust? We shall have to end by
loving our enemies" and praying to be
delivered from our friends" like
Job of old.
If loyalty has become obsolete among
the women of late years, the men might
well plead guilty to another indict.
ment-chivalry with them has certain.
ly died out. 1t used to be said OF
American men that they were very
Bayards in knightly homage to their
womankind. But where now is that
boosted consideration? Women are
dragged into print and have their most
| private and sacred affairs discussed
without any redress. 1t is not so very
long ago that courtesy toward the sex
IN public conveyances used to be the
rule. Now it is the exception, and the
tone of careless Indifference prevails
even in matters social. Politeness to-
ward women simply because they are
women is now conspicuous by its alb
sence, and there is q giye-and-take sort
of manners in vogue that is very def.
Gent indeed in the respect shown Of
yore. Perhaps this is not altogether
the fault of the men; it may be that the
women have brought this state of af
fairs on themselves. If the new woman
had not appeared it is possible that the
old-fashioned gentleman would not

The Cooking of Game Birds.

Most game birds and animals, be-
cause of life of ceaseless activity, do
not take on fat, and such should be
larded or cooked with slices of bacon
or salt pork placed on them. Do not
serve birds with heads on and undrawn,
as is quite generally practiced-the
latter point being relic of savagery,
the former an offense to sensitive
nerves. 1t is pleasanter to enjoy bit
of choice flesh without being so forci-
bly, reminded that we are eating dead
birds. This is not the only instance
where realism is ipartistic.-Woman'i

are constantly being convicted of theft
are found to have long, thin fingers, a
wide space separating the first and sec

murderers the fingers are short and
thick; the thumb is long, and the hand
altogether powerful. In cases where
excessive brute force has been used the

LONDoN'S DOG CEMETERY.
Queer Inscriptions on Benufifui
Stones--NO Race Prejudices.

| StOnes-NO Race Prejudtces.
Near Victoria gate in Hyde park
there is an Enclosure reserved as a
burying ground for dogs. Life is al
ways full of contrasts. On one side
here we witness the pleasures and the
] joys of life, and on the other we find
the vanity of all existing things. That,
at least, was the opinion of the old keep
er who brought me, through the bury
| ing ground confided to his care. The
dogs gravedigger is an honest fellow
with face marked with wrinkles. The
place is about 30 metres in length and
20 in breadth, and granite and marble
monuments with the names and char
acteristics of the departed are very nu-
merous. This respect for animals pre-
sents an unexpected aspect in which
the touching is strangely mixed with
the groteeque. There are about 200
tombs in the Enclosure. The plots are
given gratuitously. The stones and the
inscriptions are put up at the expense
of the bereaved families. Some of the
inscriptions are worthy of notice.
The first stone that meets the eye
of the visitor is erected to the mem
DRY of Beloved Roby, died goth of Au
gust, 1896, aged 1872 months"
Then comes Flick, faithful friend,
and Maudie, an old friend"
On another tombstone are the words:
Dear old Priny."
But real grief is silent, or nearly so,
and the word Jacob" upon another
marble slab doubtless covers heap of
regrets.
Further on there is another superb
tomb, upon which the name of the dog
is inscribed in very small letters and
that of the master in enormous let
tiers. 1t is as follows: "Pompeii, the
favorite dog of Miss Florence st. John"
And under this is the following quota
ton from Byron:
In life the firncst friend,
First TO welcome,
Foremost to defend.
But here is still stranger inscrip'
ton. 1t is to the memory of Dearest
Topsy, the firmest and most devoted of
friends and companion of her mother"
Another is to the memory of 'Our
dear treasure jock, a Scotch collie, died
31st of August, 1895, aged Is years.
He was the most intelligent, devoted,
tender and affectionate dog that ever
lived, with the best of tempers. He
was adored by his devoted and afflicted
friend, Sir H. Seton Gordon, Bart"
Here are others:
Dear and affectionate Duke, and Tippy,
his Beloved Grandmother
Dear Little Peter, who died suddenly.
On the tomb of a she dog is the fol-
lowing:
She brought ray of sunshine into our ex-
istence.
But, alas! she carried it away with her.
"Adored Spot" "Our Friend, Darling
Chin Chin" and Sweet Carlo" lie close
to each other.
Dear Minnie, brave, intelligent, sing
ularly beautiful, loving and loved" has
a splendid monument.
But, as if to prove that race preju-
dices necessarily disappear with death,
in this cemetery of dogs there is a
stone erected ITO the memory of our
dear little cat, Chinchilla, poisoned
July 81"
During my visit live dog somehow
got into the cemetery, and was chased
away by the keeper for irreverently at
tempting to bury bone on one of the
graves of his fellow creatures.-Paris

Few railroad men could be found yes
terday who cared to express any def
mite opinion on the alleged purpose on
the part of the Great Northern in
terests to accumulate control of the
Chicago Great Western as an outlet
from the West to Chicago and the
Eastern territory. The refusal Of Pres
ident Stickney, of the Chicago Great
Western, to deny that there was any
foundation for the story occasioned
some surprise, but that gentleman yes
terday reiterated his unwillingness to
say much about it. He suggests that
the roads earnings for the first
eighteen days of August increased
nearly $4,000, and urges that this fact
alone should be sufficient explanation
for the rise in the stock Of the COM
pany.
Other views expressed are to the eff
feet that this increase is but fair
normal one and would not have the eff
feet of causing such a rise in the COM
mon stock of the road. The story got
abroad yesterday that the yarn was

CHICAGO, Aug. ga great deal Of
local sympathy is being manifested for
the Monon road in its fight against the
Big Four and the Pennsylvania for
lengthening out of the passenger train
schedule between Chicago and Cincin-
natl. Since the withdrawal of the Mo-
non line from the Interchangeable mile
age ticket agreement, it develops that
the Big Four and the Pennsylvania
agreed with the Monon months ago to
lengthen out the Chicago and Cincin-
natl time on Sept. 1, the date the in
Interchangeable ticket will become effec-
tive. AS the Monon will be the only
Chicago-Cincinnati line that will be out
of the Interchangeable ticket compact,
it will be forced to do something in the
way of rate reductions to buck against
the strong inducement of interchange
able mileage tickets offered by the
other lines.

Senator Chandler Denounces the
COnferees for Inserting 1t,


BOSTON, Aug. 27.-In a letter to the
Herald, published this morning, Sem
ator William E. Chandler explains the
construction of the clause of the new
tariff law imposing a 10 per cent ex-
ira duty on all foreign products coming
through Canada into the United States.
Senator Chandler holds that legislation
was passed by writing and as new mat
ter into a conference report where it
was adopted by both houses of con-
gress without being noticed by more
than those persons engaged in the
scheme. The senator points out that
the conference committee went beyond
It's power when it inserted this i'm
portant amendment into a clause of
the law. The wording so much affects
New England trade, Senator Chandler
says, that each one of her senators
and representatives may be fairly
called upon to state what, if anything,
he knew about it, and why he did not
expose and try to defeat it.
Continuing, Senator Chandler says:
For myself, regret to say that I did
not notice what the conference had
done. Senator Cannon in open senate
asked whether they intended to do any,
thing but settle differences between
the two houses, whether they intended
to put any new matter into the bill.
ana Senator Allison replied emphati-
cally that of course they did not. IF
the provisions were inserted, and as no
attention was called to it in the re-
port, 1t was passed without being no.
