The Lost Dog.

And one day, when he had been with
his new friends two years, he found him.
His mstress's carriage was waiting, and
he behind it. one day in spring when they
were selling daffodils and violets on the
street, and doves were murmurtng around
the church towers. and the sparrows
clamorous, and everything which had life.

with his unquestioning devotion, had kept

than any one of his own kind, who had
put him to shame. and sunk him IN the
lowest depths of isnominy by forcing his
realiza ton of It.
The dog stood STILL with ears erect and
tail stiff, then was after his old master
with mighty bound. At first the man
cursed and kicked at him, then looked
again and swore twas his old dog, and
stroked his head with that yellow clutch
of avarice for his own possession and his
own profit, rather than affection, which
was the best his poor soul could COM
pass.
But the dog followed him, faithful not
only to his old master, but to a nobler
thing. the faithfulness which was in him
self-and maybe by so doing gained an
other level in the spiritual evolution of
his race,-SIary K. wilkins, in Harper's

indoor garden and the hardest 10 fight.
Loosen the crusted earth at the top
of the pots. The roots need air, and in
soft, pliahie earth they get it by capillary
transmission. A hard top crust seals the
soil up as though in a jug. Neither air
nor water find free entrance through it.

of moisture at the roots, though water

EmolIients for the Skin.

a woman's hands and face are her own
to do what she likes with them, but If
you wish my candid advice. here it is:
Have just as little to do with oils, creams,
greases and 'compleN,oning' as possible.
Skin foods are worse than rubbish. for they
produce superfluous hair, which nothing
but shaving can overcome. Glycerine burns
some skins and darkens others; cold cream
will make the face as yellow Us the wax
it contains. and should only be used III re-
moving grease paint: like vaseline ana
glycerlne, cold creams eventually convert
the delicate down on a lady's face into
