told of his experience with the regi-

For several weeks there was no regu-

was no regularly organized mess from

the inefficiency, carelessness and sell

A KNOWING DOG.
He Had a Glass Eye and Never
Rubbed 1t Out.

He Had Glass Eye and Never
Rubbed 1t Out.
Marmaduke is dead. He was only
Blenheim spaniel, but he was wonder
full in his way, for he had a glass eye.
He was bred by the duchess of Marl-
borough, who takes a great interest
in the famous kennel. AS will occa-
sionally happen to small dogs, he tried
to show his superiority over the feline
race; but on one occasion pugnacious
cat declined to take orders from Mar
maduke, and enforced it's refusal by
giving Marmaduke lone in the eye"
with it's claws. The result was that
Marmaduke's eye was destroyed. The
duchess then sent the spaniel to a
veterinary surgeon, to be fitted to
glass eye, as she was especially fond
of the little fellow, and the sight of the
empty socket was repugnant. After he
was sent back with his new eye, her
grace was made nervous by seeing his
staring artificial eye, it being just a
little previous to visit of the earl Of
: Blandford, and so home was sought
for the unfortunate little blue blood,
which was found with Miss E. T.. Moore,
of Denmark Hill, near Woodstock. The
glass eye is the right one, and is ex-.
actly matched to the other brown, an
mated one. Marmaduke never tried
to scratch or rub out the eye, but
seemed to understand why it was there.
He was run over by a van. ,.

TOLD HIS CLAM n STORY.

How a Funny Detroit Man Won His
Case With the Jury.
: Marshall P. Wilder, the funny little
man, is charged with having with
malice aforethought and evil intent
sprung a few of his tales on a jury and
thereby turned their verdict in his d.
rection, says the Detroit Journal.
A few weeks ago Marshall came to
town and in the circuit court sued Dr.
Hercules sanche on a promissory note
for $1,000. He won the case, and now
the counsel for the defense has applied
for new trial, on the ground that the
jury was improperly Influenced. g,
The lawyer says that during recess
Marshall went out into the hall and
told the jurymen lot of funny stories,
including that one about the New Jer-
sey clam digger who fed his family on
CLANS so long that their stomachs rose
and fell with the tide. That settled it,
the Sanche lawyer says, and the nan
who laughs was solid as boarding
house biscuit with the jury. They went
into court, he says, and chuckled out a
verdict in his favor. .~. ~
=, The counsel for the defense saws
Wilder's jokes would win favorable
verdict from a jury of pine stumps,
hence the application for a new trial,

SOCIETY IN SIBERIA,
Hostess and Guests Frequently

Hostess and Guests Frequently Re-
tire to Kitchen to Cook md Eat.
At one of the grand balls I attended
at Krasnoyarsk, writes Thomas G. AL
len, Jr., of Questionable Siberia" in
Ladies' Home Journal, was impressed
by the profusion of flowers used in the
decoration of the ballroom, and which
had been imported from Europe at
enormous expense, and also by the I'M
portance given to the matter of re-
freshments. Although there appeared
to be about four girls to one man, the
male portion of the company spent the
greater part of the evening at the
buffet, or zokoosh table, eating and
drinking. The conversation of the wom-
en-, found, was most conventional, and
one could invariably anticipate the
same remarks upon an introduction to
a lady. knowledge of French, which
was surprised to find few could speak,
is considered the most graceful fem
mime accomplishment. =,
The kitchen. however, has for the
lady. of the land peculiar fascination.
Very often while dressed in silks and
satins, and conversing with her guests,
a hostess will proceed to fry a 'blin''
or pancake, and eat it with the greatest
gusto. The other ladies are at liberty
to follow the hostess example if they.

MEN CHEAPER THAN HORSES.
Exceeds That Paid for HUI
man Labor.

In Russia the wages of harse are
higher than those of a man, and hence,
of course, very much higher than the
wages of women. Thus, says Gunton's
Magazine, in the Nishni-Volga section,
we find the average pay of man and
horse to be about 70 cents per day; of
man alone, "a cents; that's, So cents for
horse and "a cents for man. The wom-
en- receive from 10 to 20 cents. In the
central agricultural region the average
is: Horse, % cents; man, 20 cents;
woman, 10 cents. In the southern
steppe: Horse, So cents; man, rs cents;
woman, is cents.
This is an interesting commentary on
the standard of living of Russian agri-
cultural laborers. It's meaningis is, sim
ply, that shuman beings are cheaper
there than draft animals. In other
words, it costs less to keep them alive
In the southern steppe five women can
be employed more cheaply than two
horses. Is it difficult to imagine the
condition of home life, the dearth of re-
fining influences, the sodden, hopeless
stagnation that such state of affairs
reflects? Is it any wonder that the
products of such wage status as this
are individual degradation, social bar
renness, meager education, political
despotism, religious intolerance, and,
generally, a type of civilization scarcely
above barbarism?

A RISING FAMILY.
They Live in a House Whose Four
Corner Posts Are Growing
I Spruce Trees.

Bangor has an eight-cornereu house,
2 house shaped like piece Of pie, a
house wi tn no front door, and a half
house Zone side having been burned
off,; but the queerest dwelling in all
Maine is in the town of Dennysville,
Washington county, says theNew York
Sun. It was built about six years ago
b. poor man, who was obliged to go
to the edge Of the woods, where land
was cheap, for his lot, and utilized the
trunks of four big spruce trees, that
formed square of 16 feet, for the cor
ner posts. Pretty soon the poor man
went west. to make his fortune, leaving
his family, behind in the queer house.
ln five yearsthe returned as poor as
when he left. He found that in the
meanwhile his family had risen in the
world. The four live corner posts had
just grown up about four feet and car
ried the house with them. 1t is good,
solid house, but unless the. trees stop
growing the man will soon need fire
escape ladder instead of the plank
steps that now lead up to the door.
