The death agony began at $50 o'clock,
and NJ. Faure passed away ten minutes
later. His wife and daughter, Mme.i
Berge, NJ. Dupuy and the civil and military
officials Of his household were present.

Bob, a 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 so
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 II 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
SecI etary Gage calmly walking out of
his office with a 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 forcibly 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
SO to do, and incidentally, in his dem
o~nstrations of delight yer a Dewey
victory or some other little achieve
ment, he paws the creases all out Of
the Presidential trousers.

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
turEal rambles those mysterious ca
tarrhal attacks which so rapidly run
through the house. 1t is an old say
ing "The cat is sneezing, we shall all
have colds" Sheep, too, are liable;a
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 a bad cold in the head. On
the Australian sheep runs, when the
shearing eason comes round, the
men who congregate at the sheds are
frequently smitten with an illness of
a 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 a fatal pneumonia. To all
appearance it is caught from the sheep.

OF cars loaded with American goods shipped
