The Du Maurier Girl.

Sam Weller, if you recollect, was
fond of ''pootiness and virtue" L
SO agree with him. I adore them
both, especially in women and chill
dren. / only wish that the "wir-
tue'' was as easy to draw as the
pootiness.
But indeed for me-speaking as
an artist and also perhapsa little bit
as a pootiness" is almost a
VIRTUE" in itself. don't think
shall ever weary Of trying to depict
it, from its dawn in the toddling in
FAINT to it's decline and setting and
long twilight in the beautiful old
woman who hass known how to
grow old gradually. l like to sur
round it with chivalrous and stall
wart manhood, and it is standing
grievance to me that have to clothe
all this masculine escort in coats
and trousers and chimney pot hats /;
worse than all, in the evening dress
of the period-that I cannot sur
round my divinity with a guard Of
honor more worthily arrayed.
Thus of all my little piebald pup
pets the one I value the most is my
pretty woman. lam as fond Of her
as Leeoh was of his, of whom, by
the way, she is the granddaughter.
This is not artistic vanity; it is pure
paternal affection and by no means
prevents me from seeing her faults.
1t only prevents me from seeing
them as clearly as you do.
Will my pretty woman ever be all
/ wish her to be, all she ought to
bea I fear not.-George Du Maurier

DOGS WITH FATAL FANGs.
Bands of Wild CANNES Which Terrorizs
Arizona.


Bands of Wild CANNES Which Terroriz.
Arizona.
Ranging through that section of
the United States where New Next
CO and Arizona meet are bands Of
wild animals whose bite is more to
be dreaded than that of the cent?
ped and is as fatal as the venom of
the rattlesnake. They are known as
the wild dogs Of Arizona, and so
bold have they become that the resi-
dents round about the field of their
operations are organizing to hunt
them down.
These brutes form a species by
themselves, and no natural history
tells of them. Their origin is not
positively known, but they are sup
posed to be cross between a COM
bination of Siberian bloodhound and
bulldog stock and the large timber
wolf of Arizona. The first of these
was taken into New Mexico by cat
tlemen resident there about Is years
ago.
It was not very long after that
when the first of the present species
of animals that is now creating SO
much trouble was seen, and for
time their depredations were slight.
Timber wolves were not overplenty
in Arizona, and, while occasionally
sheep, colt, horse or steer would
be pulled down by the brutes, there
was no attempt to exterminate them
beyond taking a shot at one of the
depredators whenever opportunity
offered.
In these days, however, their short
barks and long, dismal bowls or
roars, something like a coyote howl
intensified many times, are becom-
ing altogether too familiar. The
noise they make is fearsome indeed
far more so than the scream of
the panther or the howl of the
thoroughbred wolf. None has ever
been captured, and no one wants to
capture them, for their appearance
is very nearly as ugly as their bite.
A full grown animal of this sort will
weigh about 100 pounds and stands
from az to 3 feet high. They are

POPE LEO's RooM::,.
Sacred Corners In the Vatican seAam
Seen by Inquisitive Visitors.

saered Corners In the Vatican selanm
Seen by Inquisitive Visitors.
The rooms actually inhab ited by
Pope Leo in the Vatican are not nu-
merous, and only the cardinals, his
immediate surroundings aud those
who are granted a special audience
are admitted. Access to them is
reached from the Corte Damaso by
he Scala Raoias nnnnsite the cele-
brated Sistine chapel, which latter,
although it actually forms part Of
the private apartments, is not diff
cult of access to the general public.
The furniture of all the anterooms
is modern and very simple, being
made up of red damask and velvet;
with gold lace hangings. There is
nothing in them specially to attract
the eye or to remind US that we are
invading the privacy of the pontiff
save the baldachini, or canopies,
which are made use of in process
sions and other functions and which
have similar upholstery. Under one
of these the pope takes his solitary
meals, for by the etiquette of the
court he is not permitted to enter
tain even the nearest of his relatives
or to eat otherwise than alone.
The private library, which over
looks the piazza of st. Peter, has
three windows, but some years ago
the present pope diminished its APP
parent size by means of a richly en-
broidered damask screen, artistical-
ly disposed and lightly supported by
elegant columns, which divides the
room into two parts. The walls are
furnished with bookcases of pearly
wilderness, picked out in gold with
golden foliage, but the books which
repose in these shelves, as we'll as
the numerous manuscripts, are not
visible, being for the most part
carefully covered by green silk
hangings. The screen only reaches
as far as the top of the windows,
and thus the upper part of the room
is left open
The division of the room which
has two windows contains but few
books, but on the side opposite the
screen is a large console in the style
OF the seventeenth century, on
which are placed a crucifix and two
immense candelabra. The only orna-
ments of the library consist of busts
of the popes-ten in number-a
which, Plus VII and Plus TX are con-
spicuous. 1t is here that on certain
semiprivate occasions, as, for in
stance, his name day (Onomastico)
in August, the pope receives the
visits of the cardinals and of his
private friends.
AS might be expected, the daily
routine of the pope life is extreme
ly simple, but the amount of work
Of infinite variety which he gets
through in the day is incredible,
considering his advanced age. He
rises at :, at which hour his faith
full valet and maggiordomo, Contra,
is always in waiting to assist at his
masters toilet. His bedroom is
large and commodious, without a
vestige Of luxury, but the details of
his apparel require the help of an
attendant. The pope is neat to the
last degree in all that concerns his
requisite dress, and his valet takes
care that nothing is wanting in the
disposal Of his spotless linen or of
his purple stockings and that the
sacred slippers are in their place

heaviest ABOUT the shoulders ana
neck, have round shaped head and
short, sharp ears.
The general color of their coats is
gray, but long blackish hairs come
struggling through, giving dis
agreeable appearance. Occasionally
one of them will be of different
color still and perhaps of fairly good
appearance, but this is supposed to
result from the breeding in of do
nestle dogs, who have been known
to desert the ranches and join one of
these bands.
The cattle, calves, horses and colts
which meet death through these
animals are by no means killed by
them because food is needed, but die
from the effects of the bite, which in
every case produces symptoms ex.
actly similar to strychnine poison
ing. Benjamin Brown of Nutrioso,
A. T., has perhaps killed more of
these animals than any other per-
son, and he regards the task of hunt
ing them as dangerous in the ex-
|. IRENE. While they have never been
known to wantonly attack human
being, they will defend themselves
against one quick enough.
Mr.. Brown tells one instance
where a calf belonging to Pollard
Pearson of Nutrioso was bitten by
one of these wolf dogs. The bite
was not a serious one, and the calf
fed to its mother for protection.
The mother licked the wound, and
in few moments the calf was ap-
parently all right again. Two days
later the calf died with every symp-
tom of strychnine poisoning, and
the following day the mother met
similar fate.-Philadelphia Press.

FLEET AT WORK.
Neuvitas Bombarded by the American
Warships.

Key West, Aug. 2.-Reports have
reached here that Neuvitas, on the
northern coast of the province of Puer-
to Principe, Cuba, has been bombarded
by the ships of the blockading squad
ron, evacuated by the Spanish and sub
sequently burned. No details are
known, and the only information of
the affair was that given to Captain
Maynard, of the gunboat Nashville, by
Lieutenant-C Colonel Rojas, of the insur-
gent focres at Gibara, last Tuesday.
Colonel Rojas himself has the news at
second hand.
The only American ships known to
have been in the vicinity of Neuvitas
lately are the Prairie and Badger. The
latter captured three Spanish ships
coming out of the Neuvitas harbor, and
took them to Dry Tortugas. All were
flying Red Cross flags, but when board
ed ere found to contain number Of
Spanish soldiers, only three of whom
were sick. The Badger is expected
bere shortly.
The Nashville reported at Gibara on
Tuesday, when she captured the schOon-
ers Gibara and Espresso. On entering
the harbor, she was met by the ex-
United States consular agent and pres
ident of the railroad line to Holguin.
He told the Americans of the evacua-
ton of Gibara two days before by Gen
eral Leque and his l 300 Spanish troops,
who feared concerted attack by Amer
leans and Cubans They fled to Hol-
guin by rail, and afterwald store up the
tracks. General Lequez left in the
Gibara hospital 535 sick and wounded
Spanish soldiers with a request to Ad.
miral Sampson to see that they were
properly cared for.
The next day the Cuban forces, con.
sisting of 500 cavalry, under Leuten.
ant-Colonel Rojas, and 200 infantry,
made triumphant entry into the town.
They were received with acclamations
by the Cubans, and the town held fes-
tival that day and night. The insurg-
ents took formal possession, establish
ing police system and sent out scouting
parties, and when the Nashville ar
rived, the best of order was being main
tanned. The invaders had, however,
neglected the schooners in the harbor,
and the American ships took possession
of them.
When Ensign Snow left with a
prize crew to bring the Gibara here, it
had been determined to raise the Amer
ican flag over the town.
