NOT AFRAID OF FIRE.
A PhiIuGeIphia Retriever That Went
After Firecrackers Without
Sign of Fear.

Among the enthusiastic patriots up
town the other day was man who
owns a handsome spaniel and one es-
recially good at retrieving. This man,
reports the Philadelphia Record, be-
gan his celebration by throwing pack
of small firecrackers into the street
and before the first one had a chapce
TO explode the dog rushed out and
grabbed the bunch and was making
toward his master as fast as he could.
Before the innocent dog reached his
destination, however, an explosion
took place, and one after another the
little rolls of powder went popping
ut a great rate. Of course the spaniel
dropped them, but he remained in the
middle of the pack. jumping at the
ones that blew up into the air until
the entire pack had gone off Then.
after picking up one or two of fhe ex-
Dloded crackers. he returned to his
master and landed them at his feet.
The man petted the dog awhile and
then looked to see if he had been in
jured, and found that his beautiful
coat of curly brown hair had been so
much singed that it would be neces-
sary to have it clipped. The dog was
always held high as retriever in the
estimation of his owner and those who
knew him, but his stock has risen1OO
per cent. now and no amount of money
could buy him.

PATRIOTISM AT WEDDINGS.
Now Is the Time When Invited Cues
Can Show Their Love of Country
in Their Gifts.

With the advent of the Spanish war
Likewise patriotic presents were also
considered stylish. No bride is
thoroughly in the fashion these days,
says the Chicago Chronicle, unless
large proportion Of the gifts that come
to her have reference in their design
and colors to the war and the United
States. Favorite wedding presents of
this sort are flag picture frames, which
may be found in great variety. These
have flags painted on a background of
white enamel, or the frames them
selves are made of flags of silk draped
on foundation of wood and covered
with glass. Wedding gift novelties
such as these are unending, and they
are the rage of the hour to send to
coming bride. There has been already
at least one patriotic wedding of i'm
pOrtance. At this the star gift was

had three stoneS-a ruby, turquoise
and diamond-as close to a design of
red, white and blue as can be produced
in jewels. When made this ring was
unique, but the design has since been
widely copied. Another present that
came to this bride of the patriotic we'd
ding was a dinner set of white china,
each piece of which was adorned with
hand-painted American flags. Yet an
other set of gifts were lamps of red,
white and blue, with shades of the same

CELESTIALS EAT BURDOCK.
Many of the Chinese and JHpanese
Cultivate the Plant for Home
Consumption.

What is even regarded as a vile weed
can, with a little stretch of imagina-
tion be turned into an ornamental
plant or delicious vegetable, says Nee
hans Monthly. This is especially the
case with the common burdock, lappa
major. Schoolboys all know it from
gathering the burrs and COMPRISING
them into ball, they being held to-
gether by the curved points of the
floral invOlucre. This is all they know
about it. 1t is difficult to see anything
more to be despised in the burdock
leaf than in the leaf of the rhubarb. 1t
appears that it is largely used in China
for food. But it is stated that. if the
stalks be cut down before the flowers
expand and then be boiled. the taste is
relished equally with asparagus The
leaves, when young. are boiled and
eaten as we eat spinach. In Japan 1t
is in universal use. Thousands of acres
are devoted to its culture. But in this
case the root is the object. 1t requires
deep soil to get the roots to the best
advantage. The common name in
China is gobbo-a name, however,

FUNERALS OF SENATORS.
They Range in Expense from $3.50 in
One Case to $21 ,:i22.55 in
Another.

The first time any part OF deceased
senator's funeral expenses was paid
out Of public funds was on the occasion
of the death of John Gaillard, of South
Carolina, who Gted February 20, 1926.
Two other senators died that year
Nicholas Van Dyke, of Delaw are, May
10, and Joseph MsIlvaine, of New Jer-
sey, August 10. The average public
expense incurred on account of these
three deaths was $292.47, says the
North American Review.
Within the next 22 years-from 1926
to 1917, inclusive-27 senators died,
and the remains of IL of them were in
TERED at the governments expense.
The average expenditure in those cases
was $61S.S0. From 1913 to 1867, inclu-
sive, 2S senator's died, and Is of them
were buried by the senate at an aver
age expenditure of 81 ,365.13. The rec
ord from 1869 to 1894 shows 30 deaths
in the senate, and all but five of these
were the occasion of more or less out
lay of public money, the aggregate
frnounting to SOS, ,S49.96, an average of
S2.754.
In all, up to 1894, there were 54 in
terments from and by the senate. and
the last 13 cost more, by S4,139.s2, than
all the other Al. The total amount of
public moneys expended on account
of senatorial funerals, up to 1894, is
S100, ,334.16, ranging from $3.50 in one
case to S2I ,32255 in another. The
acreage is 81, ,S5637.

AN OYSTERS AGE.
1t May Readily BE Determined by
Measuring the Size of
the Shell.

1t is just as easy to tell the age of an
oyster by looking at its shell as it is to
ascertain the age of Il horse by exam
lining its teeth or tree by inspecting
the circles revealed by the AK or saw
when it is laid low. When the oyster
is six months old it Is as big as a dime;
when one year old it viii cover a silver
half dollar, and when two years old
will be about the circumference of a
silver dollar, says Pearson's Weekly.
The oyster, unlike the crab, is not
obliged TO seek new quarters or build a
new house every time he grows ap-
preciably. The extensions that he puts
On to his house are clearly marked by
q well-deiined ridge.
Oysters are esteemed to be at their
best when between four and five years
of age, and the planters endeavor TO
protect the beds for that length of
time. Conscientious oystermen-that
is. men who are not inclined to kill
the goose that lays the golden egg
always return to the bed oysters that
are too young, but in case a patriarch

AFRAID OF THE GLASS EYE
Japanese Coolies Who Could Not BE
Induced to Serve the
Owner of 1t.

\ year or two ago an artist from San
Francisco who wore a glass eye came
TO Yokohama and established himself
n little bungalow on the outskirts
Of the city. says the Porkville Ieoman.
The weather was extremely warm,
and before the stranger had become
settled he was besieged by a number
Of coolies, who wanted to get the job
Of tanning him at night. The artist
looked over the applicants, and finally
selected an old man who brought eN
cellent recommendations from his last
employer.
When il was time to retire the artist
took out his glass eye, laid it on a
stand at his bedside and went to bed.
The old man picked up his fan and the
San Francisco man was soon asleep.
He slept peacefully for an hour or two,
when ne was awakened by a chorus of
buzzing insects about his head. He
looked about him, and found that the
man whom he had hireu to fan him was
gone.
The next morning when he went in
search of another coolie he was
amazed TO discover tha no one would
work for him. He was looked uron as
a wizard and worker of miracles. with
whom il was unsafe 20 be alone. The
old man had gone amCug his frienGs
and told how the Californian had
taken out his eye at night and laid
it en- a stand in order that he might
watch his servant at night and sec that
he kept his fan in motion. The old
coolies story created such eXcitemenj
that the San Francisco man was never
able to get another japanese to fan
him after that.
