EDUCATING A GREYHOUND.
In His Training He Must Walk from
Twelve to Fifteen Miles
Every Day.

The right way to bring greyhound
into condition is to walk him steadily
every day from ~ to IS miles. He must
not be allowed to potter along the road
in his own sweet way, but should be led
by the trainer. The reason is that con-
tinual exercise is thus given, and this
without firing the dog. When he comes
in from his walk the greyhound is
brushed and groomed. When the grey
hound is at exercise he wears a thick
sheet" this is exchanged for one of
thinner quality when he is at home,
says an exchange.
The walking exercise alone is not suf-
1icient, however. Every other day the
greyhound is galloped, and this is done
in the following manner: A kennel
man holds the dogs. The trainer walks
away for nearly half mile. At given
signal the kennel man releases one of
the dogs, who naturally gallops toward
the trainer. When the dog has got
away about 20 yards another dog is re-
leased, and so the process goes on until
ali the dogs are running toward the
trainer at distance of about 20 yards
from each ether. If the dogs were al
lowed to run together they would either
play or fight with each other, and the
leading dog must be a very good one at
galloping or the gallop will be spoilt.

WHAT A DAY IS.
Each One IN Leaf That Goes to
Make Up the bouquet
OF Life.

Did you ever think what day is? 1t
is leaf of life, and these leaves make
the bouquet of our years. How
various they are! Some of them are
only ragweed, ivy that poisons, hens
bane. or .thistles without the silky
| bloom that tips and tints them into O
| cousinship with beauty. Some are rare
| orchids, beautiful, BUT fragile nothings,
swayed by every passing breeze and
crushed by the first rude touch. Some
are lowered with the fragrance of the
petals of the rose and are queen bou-
quets of the garden of life until they
| fade. Some are unpretentious clusters
of pansies, mignonette and forget-me-
not-dear little home blossoms of love
and mnistration. Some are gaudy hol-
lyhoeks. Haunting their brilliant color

the garden. Others are like the good old
bouncing Bet" that blossomed so
sturdily and uncared for in grandmoth-

like leaves of oak and clusters of
branching pine. We might carry the
comparison throughout the whole floral
kingdom, and still find an analogy be-
tween it's members and these leaves of
our lives. 1t is only an idle fancy Of
mine, perhaps, yet as dream wonder
what your leaf and mine will be to-day!
Will it be a smile when we feel like Civ

in place of a snappish one that, like all
bad things, is sure to come so much

on the altar of love? All, I can fancy
the angel of these leaves of life sorting
them over with loving hand and throw

Hesitation of the pranks of electricity,
says the Asheville On. CO. Citizen.
Along the top of the ridge for a dis
lance of perhaps rs or so yards there
was a deep furrow, as if made by

large pieces of turf We're thrown aside,
tough rhododendron bushes were torn
up by the roots and hurled to one side,
while huge powders that lay in the
pathway were split in twain and in some
instances shivered to atoms.
After the current had passed along
the surface of the mountain, or top
most ridges, for SO or 60 yards, it APP

down the mountain side and the other
continuing on the ridge for some IS or

remaining for so great a distance on
the surface.

ROSTERS WOODEN LEG.
The Manned Fowl Acquires Unusual
Dexterity and Is Always Will
ing to Fight.

A rooster that struts about with n
wooden leg is the rather unusual sight
to be seen on a farm few miles from
Middletown, n. Y. The rooster lost one
OF its legs last summer as the result of
too intimate acquaintance with now
ing machine. 1t was only chick at
the time, and Mr.. Mapes' son found it
soon after it had been injured and cared
for it. The leg had been cut off just be-
low the knee joint, and the boy, after
the wound had healed, cut piece of
stout twig to the right length and tied
it tightly to the stump of the leg. The
chicken seemed much surprised and
was very awkward at first, but it soon
became accustomed to the use of the
artificial leg and learned to run about
on it at almost as we'll as if the leg had
been its natural one.
The wooden leg has been renewed
several times. Last winter, when it was
icy, the rooster had hard time keeping
its footing, and when it took tumble
it was by no means easy for it to regain
an upright position. 1t was also very
difficult for it to make its way about
through the snow, but now 1t asks no
odds of any of the fowls on the place
and is ready at any time to fight with
any other rooster that gives it cause
for battle,

DANGEROUS SMELLS.
Scents That XIII More Surely Than n
Gun Shot Through the
Heart.

Some smells are dangerous. y single
sniff of highly concentrated prussic
acid will kill n man as quickly as a shot
through the heart. The odor of bad
egg is due to the presence of sui
phuretted hydrogen, and the objection
able perfumes of sewers and bone fac
tories are attributable chiefly to the
same gas. Chemical laboratories, says
the Boston Transcript, are famous for
bad smells, BerZelius, who discovered
the element called "selenium," once
tried the experiment of permitting a
bubble of pure hydrogen sclenide gas
to enter his nostrh. For days after
wards he was not able to smell strong
ammonia, the oifactory nerves being
temporarily para!yzed. Selenium gas
has the odor of putrid horseradish
Ieilurium is even worse. There is a
story OF physician whose patient, q
lady, refused to take an absolutely nee
essary rest because she was so fond of
being always on the go In society. lie
gave her pill containing a small guam
Cty of tellurium, and her breath was
effected by it to such an extent that
she was not able to appear in public for
month. She never guessed what the
trouble was. The volatized essential
oil OF roses is supposed to cause rose
oold.' This peculiar complaint is so
far nervous in its character that paper
roses sometimes excite it.

Formation of Gold Nuggets.

Concerning the theory that gold mug
gets are formed by the depositing of
the gold around a nucleus from solu-
ton, Prof. A. Liversidge, the gold ex-
pert of New South Wales, Australia,
has made Investigations which he
thinks disprove it. By slicing the mug
get and examining the cross sections
obtained he found no traces of con-
centric coatings, but that the gold was
always more or less crystallized, the
crystals being in some cases very large
and with well-defined boundaries.
Some of the nuggets also showed cavi-
ties and Enclosures of quartz, although
in many cases none were visible on the
rolled surface of the nugget.

WOMEN OF THE NAVY.
Officers wives and Families Feel
the Suspense Most Keenly-Watt-
Ing and Hoping.

The women who have experienced the
most mental sufferings and strain re-
sulting from the complications in Cuba
are the wives and families of the officers
OF the navy. Few of the enlisted men
are married and most of them are with
out home ties, but the contrary is true
of the officers.
This is a sad time for u.s." said the
wife of famous naval officer few
days ago. "All we can do is to wait and
hope. None of the women of The navy
wants war. Its opportunities for pro-
motion and the winning of glory do not
compensate for the terrible suspense
and anxiety which we have to endure.
Three of my family are in the navy.
and my earnest desire is to hear news
of peace, although l am trying to be
prepared for whatever happens"
While her husband is looking for or
ders from Washington she and her chill
dren await the issue of events in the
little New Jersey town which Is their
present home. This is the attitude of
all the women whose fathers, brothers,
husbands or lovers are in the navy.
Their interest in the chances of war is
more keen and personal than that of
any other class of people, for war with
Spain means naval action. Those who
are with the southern squadron are in
especial danger. Ever since the blow
ing up of the Maine and the subsequent
mobilizing of the feet in southern
waters the crying of every "war extra"
on the street, the receipt of every letter
and telegram and the circulation of
each new rumor of conflict have caused
quickened tension in officers families.
The suspense which the whole nation
has found it hard to endure has been
most cruel for them.

Vanderbilt Made n Mistake.

This is the London version of the
story of Mr., Vanderbilt's parting with
his celebrated Paris chef, Joseph. One
