The Dog Reporter.

Bob, fox terrier that belongs to
the chief of one Of the Washington
newspaper bureaus, is generally
known along Newspaper Row as "the
dog reporter" The correspondent OF
the Detroit News-Tribune tells why.
There are some sanctums that the
ordinary reporter does not dare to en-
ter, unless especially invited; not 80
with Bob. His nerve is supreme.
He starts out each morning with great
regularity to make the rounds of the
Treasury Department, White House,
and War, State and Navy Buildings,
usually accompanying one OF the re-
porters of the bureau. If they are
behind time he goes on his own hook.
He is known in practically all the
departments, and when he comes
alone officials discreetly conceal all
letters or other documents which may
have news in them, because Bob will
never leave an Office without some
tangible proof that he has called. A
few weeks ago he was discovered by
Seer etary Gage calmly walking out Of
his Office with bundle OF letters pre-
sented by a Western Congressman in
behalf of a constituent who wanted a
position. Bob was greatly aggrieved
when the messenger forsibly relieved
him of his "scoop."
Bob also frequently pays his re.
spects to the President. Unlike most
callers, Bob always sees the chief
magistrate when the spirit moves him
80 to do, and incidentally, in his DEM
onstrations of delight over a Dewey
victory or some other little achieve
ment, he paws the creases all out OF
the Presidential trousers.

THE REALM
OF FASHION.

ing circular portions squarely shaped
on the outer edge. The narrow front
gore of the skirt is extended in cir
cular founce, which is joined to the
lower edge Of the other four cores.
The skirt fits the hips closely, small
darts adjusting the fullness at the
waist, and the hounce falls in stylish
ripples to the foot, where it measures
little over four yards. Four rows
of the frizzed ribbon are applied in
evenly spaced rows at top of founce
and outlining each edge of front gore.
Many combinations will be suggested
by the mode, which may be all of one
material if 80 desired, and trimmed
with braid in various widths, gimp,
folds Of satin or silk, corded silk,
ruchings or ribbon.

Domestic Animals Bring Infection.


Evidence that colds are infectious is
furnished by what we observe among
our domestic animals. Cats seem to
be especially susceptible. Probably
they often bring home from their noe
turnal rambles those mysterious Ca
tarrhal attacks which SO rapidly run
through the house. It is an old say
ing "The cat is sneezing, we shall all
have colds" Sheep, too, are liable;
whole flock may suffer, and may show
that curious eruption round the lips.
which we all know only too we'll as
one Of the most unpleasant accompan.
iments of bad cold in the head. On
the Australian sheep runs, when the
shearing season comes round, the
men who congregate at the sheds are
frequently smitten with an illness of
q catarrhal nature. which rapidly takes
hold of them, and often affects some
ninety per cent. Sometimes it be-
comes very serious, and may even de-
velop into fatal pneumonia. To all
appearance it is caught from the sheep.

France has law forbidding the
slaughter of birds smaller than larks.
Nevertheless, piles of such birds are
offered for sale in the markets of many
French cities. A movement is now
under way for enforcing the law and
saving the song-birds and the fields,
which, it is said, they keep free from
injurious insects.

pretty Underwear.

The variety of pretty silk and wooden un.
derwear to be had at such reasonable
prices, Is very tempting to dainty women,
yet many refrain from purchasing such on
account Of their liability to injure in laun-
drying. If the work is properly done. this
trouble may be avoided. When ready to
begin fill tub half full Of warm water, in
which dissolve fourth OF a bar Of Ivory
Soap, and wash the articles through it with
the hands, rinse in warm water, and
squeeze, but do not wiring. Hang on the

services should be influential with Con- gress. It is not well to deprive the army of this element of strength, as we should be in danger of doing if we en- forced too rigidly the ideas of those whose vision is limited to the old army.
 Whatever the virtues of that army, it
 Is now numbered with the departed, so that we may speak kindly even of it's defects, or pass them over in silence.
 Whatever was admira ble in it we should strive to preserve; it's high sense of duty; it's rigid ideas if discipline it's appreciation of what becomes the char acter of the officer and the gentleman. Fortunately the War Department in se- lecting the field officers to command the new regiment has set it's standard high, and theresult is shown in the reports We receive of the rapid development of these recently organized bodies into eminent military organizations. They will need to be somewhat sifted to elm- mat incongruous elements, and to rid the service of men whose sense of per sonal importance is stronger than their appreciation of official duty, and of the courtesy and consideration which the u ue soiuiel ever SHOWS to tHoSe ne colH- mands as well as to those he obeys. Some of our newly appointed officers we fear have not yet learned this lesson, and they nav require some sharp ex- perience to teach them that their au- thority is official and not personal, and that it is entrusted to them for pur- poses of discipline and not for display. Scattered through the new army are many well-trained old soldiers. They should be shown all possible consdera- tion and care should be taken to put them in positions where their experience and knowledge of army methods and army traditions may be made service able in training newer men and imbung them with proper soldierly feeling-- Army and Navy Journal
