Costly Toilet Articles Purchased by Rich
Girls For Their Pet Dogs.
A score or more CT dainty toilet arti-
cles, gold mounted and jeweled, were
scattered over the glass counter, and
the obliging clerk in the fashionable
shop was vainly ondeayoring TO satisfy
the whims Of daughter OF wealth,
who had every appearance Of having
been spoiled by oyerindulgence. She had
q costly toothbrush in her hand and
was poking the other articles with 1t
in dissatisfied way. "This is not
small enough" she said, land the hair
is hot fine enough.
cit is our very best grade Of goods"
suggested the clerk half apologetically.
"Then you ought to get something
better. Yes, really, you ought" ex-
claimed the willful customer. 81 can't
take such a clumsy toothbrush as that
home to my Koko.
"Ahp" murmured the clerk, with a
scarcely perceptible air of impotence.
"Then you want a toothbrush for your
dog"
Eyes, Of course l do, and ! want
something very soft and very dainty"
, replied the young woman. And, after q
pause, she added, with an affectionate
purr, "There isn't anything too nice
for my Koko. - ,s.--.s..sz -
Certainly not, responded the clerk,
with cordial smile. Here are soma
! brushes Of rare quality l had over
looked them. Here is one with hair as
soft as silk and handle Of solid gold. :"
The girl fondled the expensive trinket
for moment, and, without asking the
price. said, "'That will do Have it sent

keepers in New York to be called upon
to supply toilet articles for dogs, mon
keys, birds and other domestic pets.

SHE WAS WRONG.
The Original Poem Wasn't by Cowper M

All, but by some One Else.
There is woman's literary club on
the South Side which is having the
hardest Imaginable time TO keep togeth-
or. Unlike most similar organizations,
1t is not from want Of money that this
association of fair students is constant
ly threatened with disbandment. A
spirit of discomfort and rivalry stalks
through the meetings
The original purpose of the club was
a thorough criticism Of the works of
Homer, Dante, Shakespeare, Milton,
Spenser and Sir Edwin Arnold. But,
although this laudable intention was
adhered to for several months, after
awhile some of them got to writing es-
says and other papers to be read before
the society. The book trade may not
have noticed it, but at that time there
was considerable run on concordances,
glossaries. books of synonyms and liter
airy dictionaries Ever since then things
have gone from bad to worse. 1t seems
impossible to maintain harmony.
The vice president of the organiza-
ton, charming young lady, whether
considered mentally or from her photo
graph, recently wrote rather extend
ed poem in very lofty strain. She read
it to the club. Amid the general ap.
plause which followed there came from
several remote corners of the room
something like murmurs. A couple of
her auditors were heard to say that she
had never written anything like that
before; that they didn't believe any
one in the club was capable of it; that,
in fact, several passages sounded
strangely familiar.
Finally one member with glasses and
very penetrating expression, address
ing the author Of the poem, said
Didn't you get some of that from
Cowper? I'm sure you did. "
81 did nothing of the kind, retorted
the vice president, flushing at the &C.
cusation.
"Oh, but remember almost the ex-
act linesp' persisted her accuser.
How dare you say sol" returned the
poet hotly.
/ but We'll get the book and look, "
persisted the other.
"You'r mean, mean thing" said
the vice president, bursting into tears.
II didn't get this from Cowper at all.
And now that you're so smart I'll not
tell you where l did get it. "-Chicago

A Miraculous Draft of Fishes.

The jewellers on the banks of the
Neckar, near the good old German town
of Heilbronn, had an experience the
other day which must have reminded
them of the miraculous draft Of
fishes. A few days ago, toward evening,
the worthy Heilbronners perceived that
the Neckar was toward both its banks
one moving mass of all sorts and con-
ditions of fish, thronging landward in
seeming anxiety to be caught. Nor was
this tacit appeal at all disregarded, for
every man, woman and child of the
vicinity ran out with pots and pans,
with spades and rakes, and pals and
baskets to help himself or herself to a
share of fish. The explanation of the
miracle, which perchance might prove
a hint to fisher folk, was that the river
had become so muddy after recent heavy
rains that the fish found it difficult to
breathe in the "thick" water and had
approached the banks for more air. -

The Blackguards of Malaga.

Besides my man Mohammed there
were several other Arab passengers
aboard, and the appearance of these, as
they leaned over the bulwarks of the
steamer, was the signal for shout of
derisive laughter, curses and stone
throwing on the part of the crowd of i'll
fed and i'll conditioned boys who throhg-
ed the quay. For downright black
Ruardism nothing can beat the type of
the youth Of Malaga, whose expression,
like their morals, is Of as debased a type
as could well be imagined. Howls of
filthy language greeted the appearance
of the Moors, who, had they disem-
barked, would have run great risk of
being torn to pieces, so great is the an
tipathy Of the Spaniards to their former
conquerors. The captain of the steamer
appealed to the police but the two rep
resentatives of this noble body were
busily employed in stealing figs from
the cargo and paid little or no attention
TO the fact that an Infatuated crowd of
the worst characters of Malaga-that is
to say, the worst in the world-were
pelting the steamer with stones and
mud. Affairs, however, reached a eli
max when one of the Moors, who spoke
Spanish, asked after the health Of Gen
eral Margallo, the general who had been
killed before Melilla, and then the cap
tain was obliged to order them below,
though the i'll conditioned crowd hooted
and jeered until at sunset the steamer
left. Harris "From Batum to Bag

NOT USED TO HOTEL WAYS
A Young Woman After Registering Gives
the Clerks n Surprise.


She drifted into au uptown hotel by
way Of the women's entrance. She was
plainly but neatly clad and did not
look like a girl who was used to the
system in operation at big hotel. She
had bright, pretty face and looked
fresh and charming. The two clerks on
duty eyed her curiously and exchanged
comments about the girl. She hesitated
a moment when she reached the Office,
but after some little display of embar-
rGssment walked UP TO the desk and
picked up pen in diffident manner.
The clerk wheeled the book around so
that the place for signatures was i'll the
proper position and waited. She chewed
nervously at the end of the pen, then
dipped it slowly in the ink, and with IA
great deal of pains wrote:
Miss Mary McClosky. 372 West
Ninety third street. "
Then she eyed her effort approvingly
and carefully laid the pen down The
clerk, who had been watching the oper
alton with good deal of curiosity. said ::

A flush mantled her face, but she
said sweetly, Eyes, if you please "
Would you like n room with a bath?"
asked the clerk in "a puzzled tone.
Again she seemed embarrassed and hest
tated, but finally said in a low tone:
''Yes, if you please. That would be
very nice and l would thank You very
much.
''How much do you care to pay for a
room?" said the clerk as his eye swept
the rack.
"Pay?" she said in sheer surprise.

The Tame Fox.

Southey's story is of tame fox at
Bridgwater, which had been brought
up frQm cub to run in tthhe wheel as d
turnspit. One day, however, his vaga-
bond instincts proved too much for him,
and he determined to take holiday.
The fleshpots of his Egypt were as dust
and ashes to his palate compared with
the chickens of his own selection. Un-
fortunately he chose the hunting season
for his excursion. and soon came in con-
tact with his hereditary prosecutors
He evidently determined to give them
good run, for he took them twice
through stream called the Parrot,
after a grand circumbendibus, which
involved chase of nearly 80 miles. He
made his way back with hounds in full
cry, and re-entering the kitchen re-
sumed operations in the wheel with as
much unconcern as though he had never
left it. The fat cook, with whom he
was great favorite, succeeded in beat
ing the hounds off until the arrival of
the huntsman, who humanely assisted
in saving a life which, if sagacity and
ingenuity be virtues, well deserved to
be spared. New Illustrated Magazine.

Residents of Penitentiary Town Want
1t Written ''OssininE."
The matter of changing the name of
Sing Sing village to some other that
will relieve it of the odium of prison
is again being agitated. The president
of the village, William Brandreth, says
he has positive assurances from the
New York Central & Hudson River Rail
road company if the people viii change
the name of the place the company Will
establish a new station on the prison
grounds, to be known as Sing Sing
station" and use it only for transporta-
ton to AMI from the prison. The people
have grown tired OF seeing in the news
papers that such and such criminal
has been "sent to Sing Sing" the i'm
portant word ''prison" being habitual-
ly left out.
Again, large number of the wealthy
citizens make Scarborough, the first
station south, about 11s miles, their
station, and, coming home from their
business in New York, leave the train
at the pretty little suburb and drive
home in their smart traps. The name
of Ossining, the appellation of the town
in which Sing Sing is located, seems to
meet with the most favor as the new
name for the village.
