What the Dog Got.

A very curious circumstance hap
pened at Clinton in fox hunt re-
Gently. The dogs were hard on the
heels of a fox, when the fox darted
into hole, out some obstruction i'm
peded its passage and it only entered
far enough to conceal its body, leav-
ing the end of its bushy tail sticking
out of the hole. When the men came
near they saw one of the dogs tear
ing across the field with the brush
in its mouth and the fox flying in
another direction, with nothing left
of its beautiful tail but the skinned
stump. The dog had literally pulled
off the hide. and having obtained the
brush retired from the contest Sew
eral shots were fired at the fox, but
failed to bring him Hartford

MYSTERY TEAS.
There Is Lots OF Fun and Novelty In
the Latest Fad for House
Parties.

Givers Of house parties have devised a
new entertainment this fall which has
such lot of mystery about it, calls for
SO much guessing, and is altogether
such fun" that the young people have
voted it the best thing done this year.
1t is called mystery tea" and the
mystery lies in the items of the menu
card, which is given to each guest, who
must order dishes from it. Getting up
this card requires much ingenuity on
the part of the hostess. Everyday.
commonplace dishes must be SO mys.
teriously named as to be entirely mis-
leading to the guest. When these dishes
are served the fun commences, for
many guests find they have indeed or.
dered light refreshments.
"An after-dinner delicacy," for ex-
ample, turns out to be TOOTH pick.
Russian revels" prove to be cup of
tea. "a product of the desert" is found
to mean only a plain, ordinary sand
witch, and an Oriental square" a JAP
anese paper napkin.
Guests at mystery teas" are asked
to appear in oriental costume, or to
represent some character in fiction,
which adds another element of mystery
and guessing to the affair-N. Y. Her

DINNER BILL SOUVENIRS.
Ocean Steamship Companies Make
Bills of Fare Suitable for Mailing,
Which Proves Taking.

"ln crossing over to Liverpool a
couple of months ago." said a guest at
one of the hotels the other evening, Il
noticed that our dinner bills of fare
were printed on cards especially de-
signed for mailing. On the back were
several ruled lines for the address, a
place to affiX penny stamp and the
usual inscription, stating that they
could be mailed under the present laws
of the International Postal union. 1t
struck me as being particularly good
idea, and one that could be advanta-
geously adopted at hotels and restau-
rants almost anywhere.
"a traveller, for instance. III passing
through New Orleans, would be glad to
send some such souvenir to his friends
at home, especially when it involved no
trouble beyond writing an address and
pas ting on a stamp. I was surprised
during brief stay in Europe to see
how generally the postcard scheme
was being used for advertising pur-
poses. Almost every business house of
any consequence had cards containing
pictures of the store-sometimes of the
exterior and sometimes of odd hooks
and corners inside, most of them hand
somely done They had space in the
corner for the stamp, and were certain
~ inexpensive when printed in large
quaint titles.
"Such souvenirs are wrapped up with
every package, and countless thousands
of them must find their way into the
mails. In Berlin several of the larger
shops have rooms fitted up especially
for addressing and posting these cards.
They are in charge of attendants, who
have supply of different varieties on
hand. which they furnish gratuitously
to anybody who asks. They also sell
stamps and receive the cards for mail
ing after they are addressed. Big, COM
Portable tables are equipped with pens,
ink and blotters, and I observed that
the rooms were full of people at all
hours of the day.'-N. o. Times-Demo-

hydrogen solidiaea.

Prof. Dewar has at length succeeded
in solidifying hydrogen. In its compact
form, solid hydrogen is a transparent
ice, but owing TO rapid ebullition it
usually appears as a foamy white mass.
It's mean temperature is 10 degrees
centigrade above absolute zero. Prof.
Dewar says, with reference to his latest
achievement: The last doubt as to the
possibility of solid hydrogen having a
metallic character has been removed,
and for the future hydrogen must be
classed among the non-metallic ele-
msnts. Companion.

A BEwITcHED STEAK.
Applied 10 "a Mystify the walt
ers and Cook.

Charles f. Tripler, the famous ex-
pcrimenter in liquid air. recently went
to Boston 10 visit his friend, Elihu
Thompson, the electrical expert. He
took with him can of liquefied air. II
was a quart of the coolest thing on
earth that Mr.. Tripler had in this tin
can, and he took it with him to lunch
con, where he put it on the floor by his
chair. They lunched in a hotel cafe
and ordered a steak. After it had been
brought in and while the walters back
was turned, Mr.. Tripler lifted it from
the platter, opened the can and exposed
the meat to the liquid air. When he put
it back on the platter it vas as hard as
rock.
Waiter" called Mr.. Tripler, come
here"
The waiter obeyed.
whats the matter with this steak %
he asked anxiously.
And he lifted it from the plate by
two fingers and struck it with his knife.
The frozen meat rang like bell.
"I d-d-don't k-a-now, sir" he fall
tered, and he started for the head
waiter on the run.
Mr.. Tripler, by the way, is one of the
fiercest looking men in the inventing
business. His mustache is of the pirate
cut and his eyebrows bristle and
meet in the middle. Therefore the head
waiter approached him with almost
timidity.
do you serve your steaks like this
as ruler" asked Mr.. Tripler, as he
struck the tine of day on it.
Its that fool Chef" exclaimed the
waiter as he started for the kitchen.
A few minutes later the chef ap-
peared with the head waiter. He rec
ognized the steak by sight at once.
Then Mr.. Tripler took it up and rang it
again.
Mercy gracious!" CALCULATED the
chef, piously crossing himself, Il didn' t
do it, surei''
Then Mr.. Tripler laughed and Mr..
Thompson smiled. A new steak was
ordered and thefrozen meat was carried
below to fool the rest of the Kitchen

ODDITY OF GUATEMALANs.
They Hate Americans, and Refuse TO
Sell Food 90 Them at Any
Price.

"The better element in Guatemala
is cordial to Americans" said a recent
visitor to the repChlic, "hut the natives
hate a 'gringo.' and that sentiment is
especially in evidence on The trip be-
tween FL Rancho, at the end of the
railroad track. and Guatemala City.
.'The distance is about 60 miles, and
a poor rider OF slow mule is sometimes
all OF three days getting across. Pro-
visions en- route are supposed TO be OBJ
tainable from the natives.
.'Ch:ckeus, milk and eggs are pienti-
full, but if the natives don't like mans
looks they simply won't sell al any
price. We had six in our party the first
time I crossed. all Americans, and all
but one young. The exception was a
white-haired, seasoned old club man,
well known in New Orleans, and sensi-
tive on the subject of his years. won't
give him away, but don't mind saying
he answers to the title of colonel.
ION the first day out we stopped at
o little settlement for dinner, and, to
our dismay, were unable to buy so
much as a stray chicken. The natives
have a great veneration for old age,
however, and presently they began to
look sympathizingly at the colonel, who
had dismounted and was sitting, pant
ing and cussing, under a tree.
AT last some women came out and
brought him big platter of food. They
patted him On the back and said poor
old man in Spanish, which enraged him
greatly, but his hunger overcame his
wrath and he proceeded to gobble down
the meal. while the rest of US looked
on enviously. s~
sAfter that he was obliged. greatly
against his viii. to play the role OF
feeble patriarch every time he wanted
anything to eat. and meanwhile we
young gringos had to subsist on vii
famous tortilias. It was very amusing
TO see him pull the curl out Of his mus
tache and try to look as decrepit as pos
sible."-N. Y. World.

GERMAN COLONY IN BRAZIL
Twenty Per Cent. of the Population
In Certain Parts OF the
Republic.

Consular reports of recent date de-
scribe the German colony in southern
Brazil-in Parana. Santa Catharina and
Rio Grande do Sui. where the climate is
braciDg and the conditions favorable to
the vigorous growth of Europeans.
The Germans here number soc, 900 out
of a total population of 10000 They
do not intermarry with the other in
habitants or take any part in national
politics, in fact, in anything emanat:
ing from the surrounding native ele-
ment." In financial and commercial
Importance the German element is
strong out of proportion to its numbers,
but it prefers to live apart.
They thus" says the consular re-
port, create for themselves condition
of isolation which has often given rise
to the suspicion that they were endeav,
oriDg TO establish a political common
wealth for themselves. Nothing could
be more erroneous than this SUPPOSE
ton. The great difficulty of mastering
the Portuguese tongue, in sound and
construction so utterly different from
their own. and of assimiiating with peo-
pie Of the Latin race, with whom they
have so little in common, is the cause
of their isolation. 50 often commented
upon. They have great difficulty in
increasing their ranks from the old
country. inasmuch as. for economic and
military reasons, the German govern
ment does not favor emigration. and
there are at present very few Germans
DESTROYS of emigrating." Southern
Brazil has become large field for the
investment Of German capital.-Balti

waiting and looked through gloomy
glasses at the prospect Of seed dying
from drought in the ground. The south
west cOrlalained of recent liberal rains.

the HeSSian fly. These tidings were
enough to worry shorts. and under pres
sure OF covering, the price of July was
forced up 20 671A. The corn weakness
later made itself felt, and many of the
early purchases were thrown on the mar
ket again, July selling off TO CT. The
close was steady at 67d671s. y under yes
