SNAPPED BABY FOR DOG.
The Unusual Exchange That Was
Made by Two New Jer-
scy Women.

Any mother knows the compare
tive value of baby and a puppy dog.
1t is inhnity TO nothing. Yet in New
ark, n. j., deal has just been con-
summated in which real, live, plump,
pretty chunk of humanity was
snapped by its mother for tiny fox
terrier. The person who engineered
the deal was DR.. Matthew T. Gaffney.
DR.. Gaffncy tells the following story
Of the barter, without giving the
names Of the parties:
While q young woman was boarding
at the house of young couple child
was born to her. She believed she
would be unable TO care for II proper
~, and asked the doctor TO find home
for It. She would not let IL go TO an
asylum. Mrs. f., the landlady, fell
in love with the baby, and said she
would give the world If it were hers.
a few days ago. after the mother had
left Mrs. F.'s house, the doctor saw
there beautiful fox terrier. He is
lover of dogs.
"Whatll you take for it?" he asked.
"Wouldn't take $780," Mrs. +. re-
piled. Its the finest bred dog in the
city"
Look here" said the doctor, "I love
the dog, you love that little baby that
was born here; Wen swap"
Mrs. f. thought he was jesting. When
she learned he was not she clapped
her hands in JOY and called her hus-
band, who congratulated her, and so
the baby was traded for the pup. The
mother is content with the bargain
as the doctor turned over TO her as
much money as the pup would cost
If bought in the open market.

TAKING OUT STAINS.
The Proper Thing 20 DO when Laun-
dcrinR Fails 20 Remove
Them.

Iron rust, which Is seldom account
cd for, should be removed as soon as
seen. Lay on q generous coating Of
salt md over this squeeze the juice ot
% lemon until wet. 1t is not necessary
20 lay the rusty spots in the sun TO eff
feet their obliteration. When the salt
IS dry brush IL Off, and add more If the
stain is not quite gone. Alildewed
linen, unless OF long standing, may be
by being dipped In a solution
Of lime water made by adding q spoon
ful of chloride of lime to a quart Of
water. Repeat two or three times, In
reality washing the spots in lime wa
ter. Rinse well or the lime water will
make the material tender. This same
solution will greatly aid in the bleach
ing of yellowed clothing. Soak the
garment in the water for three or four
hours, or n whole day II IL is very yell
low; then rinse well and hang in the
sun. Tar and the black grease spots
now so likely to appear on the crash
skirt in bicycling may be taken of
with a coating of lard, the spot being
rubbed precisely as II Il were soaped.
Wipe the lard off with soft cloth and
then wash well.
When the stain is on garments that
cannot be washed spirits of turpentine
ahould be used. Coffee, tea and wine
stains on fine linen should be taken out
before the linen is again washed. II
boiling water passed through the
stain will not eradicate il, javelle wa
ter will surely do so. This water, a
very useful article to have always in
he laundry, may be bought of drug
gist or may be made at home as fol-
lows; Place two pounds Of bicarbon-
ate of soda and two quarts of hot wa
ter in n porcelain-lined kettle and
when the soda is dissolved add half a
pound of chloride of lime, stirring
well with a wood stick. Set the water
aside to settle and when clear strain
the liquid through cheese-cloth and
bottle tightly. When using allow hall
a pint of water to each quart of clear
water. and soak the stained linen,
Several hours soaking will usually OBJ
literate all stain. Rinse in at least
three waters. White goods alone may
be so treated, as the water win take
the color from colored goods.-Phila-

A FADHLI BABY.
One That Was -Four Months Ola and
Had Never Been Washed-A
Travellers Experience.

We went TO village called Abr
Shebba, more under the mountains.
We were shown about very civilly and
taken to the door of larger dar and
asked II we wished to go in, says the
Geographical Journal We did not
know il we were wanted, so made an
indefinite answer. There was n diff
ference of opinion, and at last they
said the bibi should go in; so / crossed
the court and entered the house and
had hardly done so, when my hand was
seized and l was dragged by n man
through black darkness round and
round. I stepped high and as quickly
as / could rushed after him. At the
third round 1 saw q little light shining
on the toughest possible earthen steps
and was pulled into a little room.
where l was greeted with cries of
amazement by some women, and then
continued my way unaided to the top
of the tower. The parapets were or
namented with gazelle horns.
After some time I wanted to 60
down, but was on my way taken to
a large room where manners demand
ed / should settle down for coffee.
Everyone was very kind and for great
er friendliness a naked baby, four
months old, was placed in my hands.
When l wished TO return it was made
TO sit on my knee. 1t soon kindly cried
and was, TO my Joy, removed. 1t had
never in its life been completely
washed, though several large spots
and trimmings had been painted on its
head.

Baron Rothschild, the head Of what
is reputed to be the most powerful
family in European financial circles,
is said to have posted in his bank in
London the following list of rules for
the guidance of his clerks: ''Shun
liquor; dare to go forward; never be
discouraged; be polite to everybody;
employ your time well; never tell bust
ness lies; pay your debts promptly; be
prompt in everything; bear all troubles
patiently; do not reckon upon chance;
make no useless acquaintances; be
brave in the struggle Of life; maintain
your integrity as a sacred thing; never
appear something more than you are;
take time to consider, then decide posi-
lively; carefully examine into every
detaiI Of your business"

THAT is not sufficient for me. What
song were you singing?"
Il was singing The Silence in the
Forest"
VERY we'll; it was 1 who composed
the words and the music of that bal
lad. | stopped because you were sing
ing my song so loud that everyone in
the street could hear you. But when
I heard how bad you sang it became
angry. You did not sing one note cor
rectly. You have completely spoiled
my song. If you had sung it inside
your house / would not have said a
word, but you sang it in the street
and in singing it so incorrectly you
have lessened my fame. Now, as you
have married my music, l thought
had the right to cut up your shoes,
for that song was my work just as well
as the shoes were yours"
On hearing these words the king
began to laugh with all his heart, and
said:
'My friends, you are both right, but
as it is not fair that the poor shoe
maker should lose the price of his
shoes, l will pay for them. Neither
is it right that the reputation of a
musician should suffer, so invite you
to sing your song at court this even
ing, and l promise you that everyone
will be there 20 hear how beautiful
it isl

to climb down and walk, vanquished by
the fierce sun.
1t is an interesting fact that at first
the mems route was simply Bordeaux,
Bayonne and back; but the authorities
begged that the course might be ex-
tended to their most beautiful town,
particularly as they were just then en-
tertaining his majesty, King Oscar II.
of Sweden.
The first prize winner and the cham
pion of all was Pierre Deycard, of Bilos,
Commune of the Girond. He won the
most valuable of the many medals, be-
sides 1000 francs and a number of
minor cash prizes. His time was 1903
hours 80 minutes, and his average
kilometers 938 meters an hour, includ-
ing stops. His progress was YER
liable tour de force. He was terribly
anxious to win. His short snatches of
sleep were broken by dreams, in which
he seemed to be buying COWS with the
prize money and settling down to mar
ried life with his sweetheart. AT st.
Vincent de Terosse he was followed by
musicians who played LA Marseillaise"
with so great an effect upon the crowd
that one gave him ten francs, another
20, and so on. At OAK he found 200 peo-
pie waiting for him. He was too fa-
tigued to notice them, and had to ask
his cycling escort to roar at him in or
der to keep him awake. He even dozed
on his stills, still striding mechanically.
Camphorated brandy frictions were
tried to get rid of the cramps that
threatened him. Young girls came out
to meet him with larsel wreaths and
bouquets, and everywhere he was hailed
like conquering Roman general.
