For as they had been talking over the

A Southern woman says that she
never sees a white poodle, dressed up
with ribbons and bells, and waddling
along in apathetic content, without be-
ing instantly reminded of a former
pet of her own. This dog mysterious
ly disappeared, and although large re-
wards were offered for his return, moth
ing was heard from him. At last, one
day, a servant Of the house brought
him in to his discouraged owner, in
an indescribably dirty and abject con-
dition. Where in the world did you
find him? ?" she asked, with a mixture
Of delight and disgust, as the dog
looked up at her with malicious, twin
king eyes from under a soiled drab
fringe of hair. oh" replied the

promotions to students whose exami-
nations are most creditable.

Among the patients in Flower hos
pital, New York, is little Minnie Mics,

sister May, aged 8. The two children

nue. when they heard the clang Of
fire engine gongs. They were crossing
the street at the time and the younger
child, May, in her anxiety to get away
from possible danger sprang toward
the curb. AS she did SO she slipped or
a banan peel and fell. Just then the
horses and wagon of Fire Chief Walsh
turned the corner. Eleven year old
Minnie, seeing her little sisters dan
ger, stopped down and dragged the
child from under the horses hoofs. One
of the hocfs struck her on the fore
head, knocking her to the pavement,
and an instant later two wheels had
run over her frail body. Several
hours later she regained consciousness
in the Flower hospital, with her
mother bending over her. WAS baby
hurt?" were the first words she ut
tered. Minnie bears up bravely, and
although suffering intensely she smiles
and tells her mother she is not in the
least pain.

very charming pattern for a house
gown, because 1t Is cheerful and bright
whel the weather Is dark and stormy.
A French modiste who excels in these
morning dresses sent over one that
was made in a most peculiar arrange
ment of skirt and waist. The vest
and sleeves were Of moss green taffeta.
The skirt hooked around the waist,
and the front breadth was then
brought up in a great double box plat
to the bust line, where it fastened with
a big cut-steel buckle. The vest Of the
waist was in the form Of a blouse,
very full and laid in cross folds. The
shoulder puffs were of the challie, also
draped across the shoulders. The col
lar was a coarse lace one wired and
bent to form a Medici.
This dress, although rather compli-
Gated in description, is very easy to
make, as it requires only the draped
front to get the effect. The yoke and
sleeves can be made Of cashmere,
which will be quite as effective as tat
feta. Instead of the challie any figured
goods can be used, which might be
warmer than the thin material.

To prevent rubber boots from wear
woven wire is made to cover the sole
and extend a short distance up the
sides of the boot.
To prevent cutting the hide of an an
imal when skinning it, a new knife has
a dull blade lying parallel with the
cutting blade, which keeps the latter
away from the hide.
Electricity is used to operate a new
railway gate, a small motor being
geared to the rocking shaft on which
the gate arm is mounted, to be oper-

A western man has patented a grain
elevator in which compressed air is
used to carry the grain, a receiving
| vessel being mounted at the end of a
suction pipe, which draws the grain
into a blast pipe and forces it with the
air to the top OF the elevator.
A combined spring shackle and oil
ejector is attached to anchor cables
and towing hawsers to lessen the IL
ability Of %breakage, the spring being
set in an o~il-containing casing with an
eyelet at each end to which the cable
in a storm depresses the spring and
forces oil through the perforations in
the casing.
Expansion pulleys are to be used on
machine lathes, the new pulley con-
sisting of a fiat disk, in which are BET
a series of short shafts, with a second
disk having slots in 1t to adjust the
shafts so as to increase the circum-
ference of the circle In which they
move. Two pulleys can be operated by
one lever to increase and decrease in
an opposite equal ratio.
Shrubs and small trees can be pro.
tected in winter by a straw rope

To catch queen bees and drones al
