Decorated Dogs.

To the casual and unsuspecting OBJ
server Of dogs the CANNES of Frank
ford present a very fantastic and in
congruous appearance. In this quiet
suburban section there are roaming at
large dogs whose hairy coats are tinted
with the colors of the rainbow, and
whose general effect puts the most
daring of poster creations to shame.
If the oitizens of that locality were to
hold a dog show they could exhibit
such a variety of parti-colored CANNES
that would eclipse entirely the swell
functions of Germantown and Ghost
nut hill. How the frankfort bow
vows came by their bizarre appear
ance is a mystery which many in
dignant owners of dogs would like to
solve. Some unknown person, who
apparently has access to a dye factory,
has taken upon himself the task of
relieving the awful monotony of dog
flesh in tho neighborhood, aud play
fully dips a poor little cur into a vat
of dye so that Il half of the dog is
colored a bright and unmistakable
pink or green, as the case may be.
This unknown artist takes the greatest
pains in his color combinations, and
if green and white, and pink and
black are not exactly harmonious, the
effect is at least startling. AS there
are many dye works in Frankfort,
the dog owners are at a loss as to
whom to suspect, but woe betide this
canine decorator when he is captured.

The magnitude of the financial op-
erations of the consolidated city of
New York is we'll illustrated by some
statistics given in the annual message
of the Mayor. The net bonded debt
of the city amounted on January l,
1899, to 1914, 900, 435. 81. It's issues
of bonds and corporate stock during
the year 1898 amounted to over $780,
600, 900, and the provisions of the
Board of Estimate for the year 1899
contemplate issues in excess OF $685.
000, 600. The largest single item in
the proposed issues for this year is
for school houses and sites for
which $7,673,640 is set apart.

The output of English s%hipbuildine
yards for 1898 was the largest yet re.
corded, reaching to 802 vessels, ag-
gregating 1869, 125 tons. The unusu
ally large number of warships now
building both for British and foreign
governments contributed materially to
this, but the increase has been due
still more to the effort to fill orders in
arrear owing to the engineers strike.
The effect of cheaper material is also
to be noted. and in this respect the
purchases of American ship-plates is
q factor to be taken into account. The
amount of such purchases is unknown,
but they changed conditions Of produc-
lion by entering the market and cut
ting down the price.

A sad record in criminology is the
fact that in fifteen years Russia has
sent 624, 900 persons to Siberia. The
record is relieved of something of its
sadness, however, by the consideration
that many of these exiles were not
criminals really but only adiudged so
by the harsh Russian political system.
The gloom of the experience was some
what mitigated too by the devotion Of
the friends of the %exiles, fully 100, 900
relatives Of prisoners having gone vol
unfairly into Punishment, that they
might share with their loved ones the
perils and privations of a life in dreary
Siberia. The story of Russian despot-
ism is q tale of micro and varied
chapters. involving alike many horrors
snd many heroisms.

Now that we are to have automobile
street cars, trucks. cabs, private car
riages, drays, wagons, butchers carts
and all the rest, we shall presently be
in position to initiate the Chinese, who
exclude horses from all city streets.
But there is this difference: The Chin.
csc by arbitrary rule have excluded
horses for thousands of years when
they were needed. We shall not ex.
clude them, but only dispense with
their use so far and so fast rs We have
something better to take their place.
But what a relief it will be and what 8
boon to humanity when II cities cease
to be great stables!

found the unfortunate fellow in an
alarming state. He was showering
blows on a book open before him that
/ at once recognized as a translation
of the ''History of Augustus" In .
loud voice he kept repeating this sem
tence of Lamprides: "On the day
when Alexander Severus was born, .

babe laid a red egg, a presage Of the
imperial purple WHICH the child was te

His excitement rose to fury. he
foamed at the mouth. He shouted:
"The egg, the egg that was laid on
my birthday! | am an emperor! [
know you want to kill me! Don't
come neal me, wretch!'
He paced rapidly up and down.
Then coming back toward me, with
I1bis arms spread wide, he: said: "My

He rushed out. l vainly tried to
stop him. He escaped from me The
rest is we'll known. All the papers

brains of the sentinel who barred the
gate Of the Elysee palace against him.
Thus @ phrase written in the fourth
century by a Latin historian causes
1900 years later the death of an un-
lucky French soldier. Who will

of saying, Il know what | am

act? This is ell there is to tell. The
rest concerns only medical statistics
and can be summed up in a few
words. Mansel, placed i'll a private

lapsed into utter %imbecility, during
which his gluttony led him to eating

In an old paper was found'the conf

who had recently been SPANS Secre-

conquer on the sea- because las soon
as fire is opened the crews Of the

The official reports of the German
labor market in 1898, which have just
been published, tell a story of steady
commercial and industrial prosperity.
In almost all branches of industry
there was an increase in the number
Of those employed. The most con-
spicuous exception was in the textile
trade, in which there was . depression,
attributed to a diminution in the ex-
ports to the United States. In most
cases the demand for labor exceeded
the supply. In Lorraine italian labor,
which was formerly employed al
most solely in building, mining and
q~uarrying operations, was called into
requisition for factories and iron
works. although the italian factory
hand and iron worker were found to
be inferior to the German. In indus
tries where the work is peculiarly
hard or disagreeable an increasing
scarcity Of labor was observed. The
general state Of the labor market led
to a considerable rise in wages in
many instances. But the standard OF
living Of the working classes did not
show . corresponding Improvement.
The price OF the n~ecessaries Of life
and house rent also lose to an extent
which neutralized the higher prices
paid for labor. In some industries
.ere activity was very marked there
