Lighthouses and Dog Kennels.

Doghouse is the name applied to a
house made for dog to live in out of
doors; dog kennel to a house or box
built for dogs quarters indoors. The
doghouse is likely to be for big dog;
the kennel, in private houses. for lit
tie dog. There are few Lighthouses used
in the city, and in proportion to the
number of pet dogs not great many
kennels, but still the number of kennels
in the aggregate is considerable.
Doghouses are made with sloping
roof to shed rain. No such necessity ex-
lists in the case of the kennel, and ken
nels are always made with fat top.
Things may be placed on top of them.
The kennel is practically an oblong box
made of yellow or white pine or of
whitewood, and customarily painted
white and without ornamentation. The
kennel has a grated opening in the top
for purposes of ventilation, with cover
to put over to prevent draft. Former
ly the doors Of such kennels were made
of wire cloth; now they are all made
with bars of very small sized gas pip
ing
The kennel of this kind is so made
that it is raised at the corners enough
to make the bottom clear the floor, and
1t is often mounted ON casters, SO that
it can be conveniently moved about
from room to room. Such kennels are
made by carpenters, and they cost So to
$40 each, according to the size. New
York Sun.

by his apparent insouciance and the
method in which he walks to his place

surmise from my own experience that ii
arises from nearsightedness. l perceive
that he cannot tell what O'Clock it is
without using his glass, and somebody
told me lately that he saw him Mailing
police van, mistaking it for an omni-
bus. His face Is often haggard and his
air weary and disappointed, but he has
the brow and eyes of poet, which are
always pleasant to look upon.
He generally says the right thing at
the right minute and in the right way,
and he is Justify cheered, but sitting
among the opposition have abundant
reason to note that he is not completely
trusted. 1t is said that young Stanley
and other youngsters of his class believe
in him and that the man who is SO tact
turn In parliament is charming COM
panion among his familiars and is a
gracious and genial host Some of his
postprandial mots steal out and, should
think, make fatal enemies. Somebody

All He Got From the Suit.

An author now both rich and famous
tells how he earned his first sixpence
His father had been for 81 years en-
gagged in suit in ohancery and had just
gained his cause. The expenses of the
suit, however, had swallowed up the
entire estate, the residue being merely
3s. Cd. My father, he relates, ranged
the sixpences on our breakfast table.
"My boy" said he, "see what comes
of going to law in Great Britain. Your
mother has told you that 1 have won
my suit in chancery?"
eyes, father"
"Well, then, look That is all 1 get
of it" and he pointed grimly at the
sixpences. l opened wide my eyes.
"All you get of the whole suit?" 1
echoed, with a puzzled air, convinced
that suit in chancery was composed,
as other suits are, of a coat, waistcoat
and trousers. "Why, father, those are
only the buttons''
1t was this deplorable joke that earned
me my sixpenoe, for my father, laugh
ing, tossed me one, and rushed off like
a dog pelted with bone.-Strand Mag

CrOQuettea.

The secret Of having croquettes firm,
lies in their being mixed for long
time The meat should be chopped very
fine after being freed from all fat and
gristle, and about half pint of milk
allowed to each pint of meat. The milk
should be put over the fire while ia
blespoonful of butter and 2 tablespoon
fuls of flour are rubbed together. The
hot milk is then added, and the whole
cooked to thick, smooth paste. Mean
time, to pint of chopped meat is added
a tablespoonful of chopped parsley, salt
and pepper to taste, the grated rind Of
a lemon, and teaspoonful of onion
juice, if that is liked, or some cooks
simply rub a halved onion over the
mixing bowl. The seasoned meat is then
stirred into the paste and the whole
turned out to cool. The meat should be
allowed to stand for at least hours be-
fore it is nodded into croquettes. Dip
first in eggs, then i'll bread crumbs, and
fry in smoking hot fat. Powdered shred
ded biscuits will be found a pleasant
variety to the bread crumbs. 1t is a
caution, by the way, in the use of these
biscuits, where bread crumbs are re-
quired, that they are very unsuccessful
in escalloped tomatoes. They are too
starohy, evidently, to be of use there,
and they form gumny mass that is
not appetizing. New York Post.

A Picture of lola.

This is how lola is described by
Stuart Henry in tHours With Famous
Parisians: A business man, no emo
ton, no ideals, no imagination, no
poetry, in his personal intercourse. He
does not try to win or entertain you.
He takes no personal interest in you
and does not expect you to take any
personal interest in him. He talks
frankly and freely about everything,
but in secular way. He makes life
seem to you merely commercial career.
Fiction for him is editions of 100, 900
francs year. His magisterial and mag
nifcent panoramas of descriptions, I'M
equaled for their kind are all measured
off In his mind as SO many rods of print
ed matter at SO much rod. No personal
magnetism, no sentiment, no perfume,
no rose oolors Life has been for him
blunt, rude, british thing. He has con-
quered merely because he has worked
harder than any one else. With him
naturalistic literature succeeds only by
the sweat of the brow. What loins of
strength nevertheless What Titanic
capacities to achieve! He towers over
all his Partisan contemporaries, as Vic
tor Hugo lowered over his epoch.

There is certain Yorkshire man who
has won considerable fame and some
wealth as an expert handler of horses.
He is also the possessor of pleasant
home, charming wife and bright g.
ear-old boy.
The latter is the delight of his ia
theirs heart, and the little fellow not
only knows lots of horse talk, but takes
keen delight in mild attempt at
holding the reins over a fast gee.
The wee horseman has picked up the
habit of calling his parents by their
first names, and the way in which he
utters them is decidedly cunning.
One day not long ago his father came
home in hurry and found the luncheon
wasn't ready.
what do you think of that, my
small mani" he cried laughingly as he
tossed the 3-year-old in the air. Here
papa come home in terrible hurry and
no luncheon ready. What ought we to

Claude Monet, the impressionist art
ist, who lives in the picturesque village
of Giverny, in Normandy, is thus de-
scribed by a correspondent of the Bos-
ton Transcript: Monet is now a
wealthy man, but the house he has en-
larged is quite like that of the surround
ing peasants; white plaster, with red
tiled roof, narrow and low and long so
long that it is i'll its length only that it
shows its superiority over it's neigh
bors; for his family is large. But though
the house itself is simple the glory of
it is in its garden, and this is truly SUI
perb. Personally he is an interesting
looking man of about 60, strong and
rugged, the type of refined peasant
and it is that that his clothes designate
him to be, for he wears the big, clumsy
wooden sabots of the country, combined
with the finest linen, with hemstitched
ruffies at neck and wrists.

once got O rather curious confession
from professional beggar, which if
true, and / believe it was opened my
eyes to the reckless ways in which
American beggars are made. II had
been keeping a sidewalk stand for
years, " said he. 81 worked hard and
earned from So to 81 week. On that
lived. One night when l started to go
home by the Mission street cars l found
that my pocket had been picked. 1t was
too far to walk, SO decided to borrow
a nickel. The first man to whom 1 told
my story gave me quarter without
hesitation. All the way home thought
it over. A quarter was as much as /
made clear at my stand many day. 1t
all ended by my selling out and going

One day met him in Union square.
"How's business?" asked. He was
leaning against a tree, deeply intent on
some figures in book. He slipped the
book into his pocket and began to whine.
"Never mind your regular story" I
said, IT know it. Answer my question
like a man, and you may add dollar

After little preliminary skirmish-
ing he waxed confidential.

the book. Eyes, the average of the last

He passed through the fog to the other
side of the street and touched his hat
to an elderly acquaintance of mine who
was coming down the broad steps of
the Pacific Union club. In a moment he
returned with bright new quarter in
his hand.
81 told him my wife was better to-
day." he said, smiling pleasantly, "and
that she prayed for him night and day.

Away back in the seventies, during
the famous deadlock fight on the civil
rights bill, the question of the adjourn
ment Of congress was under discussion
one Saturday afternoon. Ben Butler,
that born wit, had stepped over to Sam
Randall's desk for a private consulta-
ton. Butler favored a Sunday session,
while Randall opposed it vigorously.
"Bad as am, I have some respect
for Gods day." said the famous high
tariff champion, land I don't think it
right to hold session on the Sabbath. :"
ooh, pshawr' responded Butler.
Doesn't the Bible say that it is lawful
to pull your OK or ass out of the pit on
the Sabbath day? You have 70 asses on
your side of this house that want to
get out of this ditch tomorrow, and I
think l am engaged in a holy work. -
"Don't do it, Butler" pleaded Ran

An Amusing Incident Which Demonstrates

At an early stage in our journey our
difficulties began. The pony broke loose
the second night out, and, unfortunate
ly, gorged herself with dried vegetables.
These, together with dog biscuits and a
few pounds of oats saved from the pre-
vious sledging, were her usual fodder,
owing to the lack of legitimate horse
food, which had quite run out more
than IL months before. AS expected,
the surfeit of dried vegetables brought
on serious illness, to remedy which
Armitage and 1 dubbed together the
small supply of pills which we had
with us. He produced, think, two va
rieties of pills, and had number of
podophyllin; so we made up a dose of
20 in all, which administered to our
invalid pony, mixed up in some frozen
fat from our frying pan. This, l am
glad to say, had the desired effect of at
all events partly restoring her to health.

FIRING ON. THE MOB.
The Scene After the Death Dealing VolIey
Had Done Its Work,

The Scene After the Death Dealing volIey
Had Done Its Work.
The yelling mass below neared the
walls. A whistle pierced the tumult.
From the windows jetted swift lines of
fame, and shattering volley tore the
air.
A crash, and then stiffness on the
mob, an intense hush, swift paralysis;
blue gray smoke cloud fioated up the
walls and out over the jailyard. Men
gasped, then held their breath. From
their nests in the caves startled spar
rows flew above the crowd with fright
ened twitterings.
In the Jail corridor sounded the clink,
clink of empty shells falling to the floor
as nervous fingers fumbled at boxes or
showed fresh cartridges home with a
snap swapping of breeohblocks, while
staring eyes were fixed upon the scene
outside.
From below came a new sound, the
noise of agony. On the outskirts of the
crowd men were running. The mob
surged back from the Jail walls In the
space left clear lay PROSTATE forms out
stretched or huddled in attitudes of gro
tesque horror on the stone paved way.
One figure half arose, wavered back
ward and then fell toward the retreat
ing mob with gasping cry. Men run
ming back from the crowd with appre-
hensive glances at the windows carried
off the limp forms. In the crowd men
bore up other men who reeled and stag
gered to and fro.
The corridor was very still. The
guard stood in silence. Here and there
one drew a long breath, with slow
heaving Of the chest and lifting of the
shoulders. Turning their eyes with an
effort from the mob, they glanced at
each other as though seeking confrma-
ton for their thoughts, to be assured
that all this thing had happened, that
the dark forms ON the pavement below
had been grim reality. A slight, pale
faced private threw his rifle to the floor
and turned his face from the window,
with burst of shuddering sobs. Others
swore apparently at nothing and busted
themselves with their weapons No one
paid any heed to the private who wept
except that his next rank man stopped
and picked up his rifle. The smell of
burned powder hung in the air.-H. H.
Bennett in Lippincott's.
