RESCUED BY THEIR BIG DOG.
Two Women Saved From DrOyvnin.
mt Merfden. Conn.


Meriden. Conn.,, July 15.-But for big
Newfoundland deg three persons, two of
whom had shown great heroism, must have
been drowned here yesterday. Last night
the dog was being fed on dainties and is
being petted by all who can get near him.
There was fishing party at Baldwin's s
Pond, and amcng those who enjoyed the
sport were Martha Natter, fifteen years old,
OF New York, who is visiting friends here;
George Kane thirteen years old, and
Mrs. Harry Carr both of Meriden.
| Miss Natter was standing on slippery
stone and casting her line into twenty
fleet of swiftly running water below When
a fish took the bait she became excited and
Slipped and fell into the current Under
ordinary circumstances she must have
been lost for the current carried her away
from the bank at once.
She screamed as she fell, and Kane. boy
though he is, plAnged after her without
moments hesitation. He is a good SWIM
mer. but his strength was scarcely equal
to the work of rescue, which would have
been difficult for a. strong man trained for
such emergencies.
The girl grasped him by the throat as
he reached her. She had already sunk
twice and was choking and frantic. Her
hold on Kane's throat and her weight were
too much for him. The two sank together
He continued to strike out when they rose
again and padded feebly.
Mrs. Carr. fully dressed. then plunged
into the water and succeeded in reaching
them. With one hand the girl seized her,
with the other she chung to Kanes throat.
Both boy and girl were nearly suffocated,
and Mrs. Carr, weighted down by both,
was helpless.
Mrs. Carr's dog, big Newfoundland,
had been running up and down the bank,
whining, and evidently aware that some
thing was wrong, Suddenly he leaped into
the water, swan to the drowning group,
and seized the dress of his mistress with
his teeth. Struggling hard, he towed her
to the bank. The fgirf chung TO her and at
last loosed her hold on Kane.
Once ashore Mrs. Carr tainted and Miss
Natter sank down beside her unconscious
Kane. free from the girls grasp, was. just
able to swim ashore He soon recovered
strength enough to go for assistance, and
Mrs. Carr and Miss Natter were soon made
comfortable.

deIphia.

CREMATION CAUSES LITIGATION
4 Woman Sues Because Husbands =
Amputated Legs Were Burned.


Lansing, Mich, July 15.-Several months
ago a circuit jury gave Mrs. Thomas E.
Doxtater Judgment for s. $50 against the
Chicago and West Michigan Railway Com
pany for cremating her husbands legs,
which were amputated after he had been
run over by the cars. This decision has
been reversed by the supreme court.
II appeared from the testimony that
DoXtater asked that he be taken to a Cath
olic hospital. A policeman saw that the
case was desperate. and as another hes
pital was nearer removed the patient
thither. He was turned oyer TO the hos
pital physicians. who took care of him un-
til the arrival of DIR. Wooster, surgeon for
the railroad company. When the opera
tion was concluded a hospital attendsn-
removed the amputated members, and. as
was the custom in such cases, cremated
them.
Doxtater lived only a few days. After
his burial his widow, learning the dis
position that had been made OF the legs,
sued the company for damages for having
been deprived, through the act OF the CON-
pany, as she alleges, OF the right to give
the remains of her husband Christian
burial. She won the suit which was ap-
pealed. The supreme court justices were
unanimous. in the opinion that the com
pany was not liable, having done no
wrong. They say that the common in
stincts of humanity required the call for a
surgeon and an ambulance, and that the
railroad company cannot be said TO have
assumed such control over DOXtater as to
preclude the latter's relatives from taking
charge of the ministTations to him.

A White Elephant in Paris.


A genuine white elephant-or what
passes as such-has been presented to
the Parisians by M. Doumer, the
French representative in Siam. Cherie,
as the pachyderm has already been
nicknamed, made her state entry into
Paris a few days ago, being met at the
Garde de Lyon by a distinguished
company. Some little disappointment
was felt when it was observed, as the
traveller stepped on the platform, that
she was scarcely SO white as she had
been painted. The prevailing tone of
her complexion is. indeed, a sort Of
patchy red, yelled by a mass of grayish
hair, the eyelids and the eyes being
pink. 1t will be remembered that Bar
NUNS specimen, secured at immense
COST" fell equally short of it's reputa-
ton. AS a matter of fact, the Albino
elephant is never really white, but the
deficiency of nature is sometimes made
up for by the aid of art. 1t is crafty
ing to learn that the guest of the
Jardin des Plantes has charming man
ners, including a clever habit of kneel-
ing and doing obeisance to the French
public.-London Chronicle.

CHILD GROWTH.
Make the Education Accord with 1t,
Not Oppose 1t.

Not Oppose 1t.
Growth focuses for a time upon one
set of organs or functions, then upon
another, until the whole body Is devel-
oped; but all parts of the body do not
grow at n and the same time. The
body grows first in length, and then in
girth, in breadth and depth of chest,
in breadth and height of forehead, in
breadth and length of face. To make
a special application of this WELL
known fact of periodicity in physical
growth, let us observe the develop
ment of the muscles of the arm. The
muscles of the upper arm-those con-
cerned in the functioning of the Shout
der joint-are ripe and ready for train
ing at least a year and one-half before
the muscles of the fingers. The mus
cles of the shoulder mature for train
ing six months before the muscles Of
the elbow, and these in turn five to
eight months before the muscles of the
wrist, which are ripe and ready for
training from three to six months be-
tore the muscles of the fingers. When
we insist that a child shall begin to
write by means of the finger muscles
only with a small pencil in narrow
spaces on ruled paper or a slate we run
directly counter to the principles of
growth and development that nature
has SO plainly written in his constitu-
ton. Must not education, to be edu-
cation at all, be in accord with these
principles rather than in opposition to
them? The child Of 6 years, during
the first days of his school life, chooses
to make large, whole-arm movements
rather than the minute movements Of
the finger muscles. At first he requires
almost an acre" Of blackboard space
in which to write a few sentences. We
must train the large shoulder muscles
before attempting to burden the ten
der undeveloped finger muscles,
which are really injured by such too
early strain and involved activity.
Thus we find in our best regulated kin
dergartens of today non of the finer
work for the younger children. The
young child is n 10 longer required to
take up the bead-stringing and pin
pricking exercises-at least not until
his eyes and his finger muscles are ripe
and ready for such training. In some
of the most modern kindergartens the
occupations and gifts are concerned
with larger objects instead of those
formerly used, which were of the small
Ter, more orthodox size-larger blocks,
larger pencils, larger needles, larger
beads and coarse string instead of fine
thread.-Forum.

Coming on Later.

Some years ago Sir Henry Irving
was called on, in Dublin, to play a
heavy part to which he was not accus,
toned. One of the actors had not
turned up, and there was a vacancy.
Irving had to come on early in the
first act. Now, the Dublin gallery boy
is an institution in himself. There is
nothing like him anywhere. CONVEX
sations between young fellows across
from one side of the gallery to the
other are spoken in loud tones, and in
the distinct hearing of the actors. Irv-
ing is, as everybody knows, very thin,
and when he appeared with a stride,
which is one of the most characteristic
things about him, of these gallery
boys shouted across to another: "Faix,
an is that him." "No," was the re-
ply, ''them is the young mans clothes.
They'll shove him out later on."-Spare
