Smoking Out an Owl.

From the poftlanQ 0FeGo1lan.
City Treasurer Hachsney is one of those
old-fashioned men who get up first in the
morning, build flies and make some coffee
for the refreshmsnt Of himself and the
others as they turn out. Monday evening
he laid the fire IN the kitchen stove as
usual before going to bed. Yesterday
morning when he opened the stove door to
apply match to the kindling he was
startled by vicious swapping and the
sight of some hideous, sooty-looking goblin
with huge eyes and ears, which caused him
to jump half way across the kitchen and
imagine the devil or one Of his irnps had
taken possession Of the stove. On recover
ing his equaninity he made an investiga-
ton and found that e gray owl had made
its way down the chimney, through the
stovepipe and draught, into the stove. Mr..
Hacheney could hardly believe his senses,
been playing q belated April fool trick on
MIN, but the disclaimers Of all the family
and the fact thar the owl was literally
that the bird had come down the chimney.

Can You Sleepi

Homely language, like a homely girl,
may be SO illuminated by direct intelli-
gence as to become positively f~ascinat-

nap" it's homely, but my, doesn't it
mean IA lot! Many can't sleep-don't
even know what a good nap is These
weary ones toss. turn and ~agonize, wear
out their brains and bodies,-a useless
waste OF energy and life. Pabst Malt

| sleep to you-you will nestle to slumber
like IA tired child. Take a glass just be-

you will go drowsily to Sunderland.
After a week or so sleep will come nat
urally and you won't need the Tonic.
Health, strength and mental calmne7s

A committee Of the Northern Indiana
Historical society, headed by Congress
mar Ford, recently decided on the proper
site for a monument at the beginning Of
the portage which extends four miles
from the st. Joseph river to the head

La Sale, Hennepin, Charlevoix and
Marquette to reach the Mississippi river
by water. The committee spent several
years in investigation, and the archives
of Quebec, Harvard, Yale and Paris
have been carefully studied. The monu-
lei to be erected will be q handsome

Cunning Guinea Pigs and How to Keep
Them-Dolly's Shoes and Stock.
ings-The Little Cooky Man.

Any boy or girl who has ever kept
guinea pigs will probably agree that
they are most cunning and fascinating
little creatures. The rabbit has been
more. popular with young folks, but the
guinea pig seems to be growing in IA
vor as its habits Lecome better known.
In recommending guinea pigs as pets
Tor boys and girls The American Guilt
yator gives tAe following interesting in
formation:
Guinea pigs can be handled by chill
lren like kittens; they are lively and
handsome, can be kept in a barn or in
NY Other building and will not climb
'yer a Lox 10 inches high. They do not
9tten light each other, can be kept to-
gcther, Large aid small, without any
%rTCuDle, &n1 alo very quiet little ami
mails.
Tho colors arc Elack, white, red and
brown, but not often ono color, except
the Abyssinian pig, which is pure
white with pink eyes. The little ami
NAL is smaller than n rabbit, though it
bears some resemblance to it in form,
excepting that the legs are not near SO
long. and its head is placed SO close to
tho shoulders that it does not appear to
have any neck. The ears are short,
thick and transparent, and the hair is
like that CT y sucking pig.
The guinea Pig is a native Of Brazil
and Guinea. There arc three varieties
the common guinea, short hair in colors;
the Abyssinian, pure white, hair in
ridges and irregular, and the Peruvian.
pure white, pink eyes, hair long and
silky, measuring from three to five inch
es in length.
To keep a pair is child's play, as
what little work is required is mere
pastime, a few minutes u day being am.
ply sufficient. No pets are more easily
fed. as they are far from dainty aud eat
almost anything in the vegetable line
Hay, fresh grass i'll season, beet tops
and carrot tops, as well as the roots, are
relished by them, and they thrive on
grain, such as corn, oats, small seeds,
milk, bread and crackers.
An ordinary box, such as can be OBJ
tanned at any grocery store, is all the
con they want. 1t need not be more
than 10 or IL inches wide Ey IL to IS
long and about II foot high.

Dolly's Shoes and Stockings.

Nowadays there are fashions in dolls
clothes just the same as there are fash
ions in little girls clothes. Dolls shoes
arc mado i'll very great variety. The
finest Of them come from Paris, the
greatest number from Germany. Some
are made i'll this country. some of these
shoes are made of paper which looks like
leather. Some have pasteboard soles aud
>loth tops. There are some very cheap
shoes that are all leather, and finer
shoes for dolls are made of leather ans
Of satin in various c%olors, among which
pink, blue, white and black are the
standard. Dolls shoes are made of
patent leather, and there are bronze
shoes and russell shoes and shoes that
are part russell and part patent leather.
There are shoes for all occasions.
Dolls shoes are packed in dozens,
alike and in assorted boxes. The finest
shoes are put up a single pair in a box.
Dolls shoes are made in as many sizes
as there are dolls feet, and they sell at
prices ranging from D cents to 81 a pair.
| In addition to the foregoing the New
IOIh sun says
Dolls stockings arc made Of silk and
of cotton. Some dre OF lace or Openwork.
They are mace in all colors and Of
many sizes to fit any doll. They sell at
prices ranging from D cents to 10 cents
Il pair. They are made i'll Germany and
III this country: more in Germany than
here.
Many of these little stockings are put
mp i'll boxes just like big stockings for
actual wear. Some of them are put up
in dozens, assorted in sizes and colors.
Doll fashions follow the fashions for
children. There are sold at present more
doll stockings of black than of any other
color. Many dolls come nowadays with
shoes and stockings III, but there are
sold, nevertheless, yearly many thou
sands Of dolls stockings.

MORE RUM0RS IN
 REGARD TO PEACE.
It Is Said Gamazo Will Take the Premiership, and After Carrying Out His Mission Will Retire
 From the Cabinet.

Washington, July 2s.--Gen Brooke, commanding the First army corps, sailed yesterday to jon General Miles at Porto Rico. The general embarked on the St. Louis, and will proceed immediately without waiting for the whole of his command, which should arrive at Porto Rico the latter part of the week.
 The reported boarding of German steamer of San Juan by q launch from an American naval vessel is taken at the war department to confirm the belief that General Miles has arrived there.
 The war department has no doubt but that General Miles is off for Porto Rico, and as all of the details of the expedition are moving with precision there is every reason to believe the troops will be,on shore by the end of the week.
 Colonel Hecker, who is directly in charge of transportation arrangements here, has returned to Washington from Fortress Monroe entirely satisfied with the progress made there of the embarka- tion of General Brooke's command.
 The Fifth United States cavalry has been ordered from Tampa to Porto Rico.
 Batteries A and B, Pennsylvania artil- lery, now at Newport News, have also been ordered to Porto Rico There was some doubt about the destination of these batteries.
