CHEWED A DIAMOND.
tug Dog Mangled the Gem Until Ii
Was Necessary TO Have 1t
Recut.

Allegheny, Pa, has produced the
champion dog story of the season. 1t
is champion dog because it chewed
the corner off a diamond stud. Peter
Donaldson, a Second ward saloonkeep-
er, is little sore over the loss on his
diamond, for it was damaged SO that
1t had to be recut; but he can't helm
feeling proud of a pug dog with such
powers i'll its jaws, says the Pittsburgh
Press.
The story is told by August Loeb,
leweler on Federal street, Allegheny.
Donaldson walked into his store one
day lately with q diamond that he
wished reset. Mr.. Loeb took the stone
and on examining it found it was
cracked. lie told Donaldson, who gave
the following exploration:
A few days ago Donaldson left his
diamond stud, a beautiful two-carat
gem, on the dresser and went into an
adjoining room. When he came bacI;
he noticed his pet dog chewing some
thing and saw that his diamond was
missing. Upon investigation he found
the dog had got it and crushed the
mounting out of shape After some
time he succeeded in taking the dia-
mond out of the dogs mouth. and at
his earliest convenience started to have
it reset
Mr.. Loeb then examined more close
ly and discovered the dog had bitten
a piece from the stone and damaged il
badly. Donaldson was certain the
stone was perfect before the dog got
it in his mouth. He could scarcely
credit the jewelers. statement until!
he saw it through a magnifying glass
Telling Of the matter the other morn.
ing, Mr.. Loeb said: Il have been i'm the
jeWelry business for 80 years. and il
was the first time ever heard of such
case. The diamond was beautvand
to all appearances as hard as the or
binary diamond. One corner. however.
about one-fOrtieth of Il carat had been
bitten off by the dog. The dog that can
bite pieces off a diamond is a wonder.
The stone had to be recut and set,
and that cost a fair sum.
There is a great moral in this case.
too. 1t demonstrates the fact that 4
pug dog has more power in his Jaws
than the average person imagines, and
the moral is that people Should keep
their gems out of their pets reach.
The news of Donaldson's dog chew
ing up diamond is widespread in Al
iegheny. and every person wants to see
the dog that has ecIipsed all his canine
friends. The case is being talked about
everywhere, and all claim that Alleg-
heny leads the country with the sensa-
ton

"GLENCOE MODDER."
The Soul narrowing Name That Has
Been BESTOWED on an SAlucky
English Infant.

One of the effects of the present war
in South Africa is to be found in the
registers of births in the several dis
tricts Of England, some very peculiar
names. arising out of the Transvaal
campaign, having been bestowed by
patriotic but inconsideratc parents on
their children. In a populous town in
Lancashire. for instance, there is Il lit
tie boy rejoicing in the uncommon
name OF "Mafeking,' given him in
honor of his uncle, who formed one OF
the garrison of that town under Col.
Baden-Powell. while in one or two IN
stances the name "Nolunteer" has been
given to children as evidence of the
intense interest which has been taken
in the departure of the citizen sol
diers' to the front.
The names of several of the leading
engagements which have up to the
present been fought figure prominent
" in these registers, such as Glen
coe," very popular name for boy
Just now; Dundee" "Eland" (the full
name of "Elandslaagte' having appar-
emily proved too much of mouthfulD,
and Belmont" the last favorite name
for girls, while one boy living near
London will have cause in few years
time to bemoan the hard fate which
saddled him with the name of Glen
coe Modder" With what must be
looked upon as daring anticipation
of events, girl in North London has
just been registered as Roberta Pre-
toria." Speaking of Pretoria reminds
one that several children already bear
that name, though so far no one has
had the courage to name his offspring
"Bloemfontein;" Kimberley" how
ever, has been utilized several times.

War md DysnenHin.

One of the good effects of war is that
it cures the worst forms of dyspepsia.
Many officers who are the despair of
their medical attendants while spend
ing their days between the club and the
barracks, come home from campaign
with a stomach like the ostrich's. This,
of course, arises from the exercise, the
open-air life, the constant mental en-
ployment, and very often the short
commons. Another good effect is the
rather strange one that war cures
nervousness of the ordinary kind, as
well as headaches and neuralgia. In
fact, if man has any kind of health at
the start, nothing braces him up like
an exciting campaign. But, on the
other hand, if any of his organs are
really weak he runs every chance of
leaving his, bones in foreign parts

How Turks Eat.


Ollate years some Turkish house
holds have been considerably modern
lied in their arrangements, even aPing
the ways of Paris. But conservative
Turks frowu on such new-Angled
ways
In a conservative Turkish house
hold, rich or poor, no tables are used
and chairs are unknown. Instead,
there is a huge wooden frame in the
middle Of the room about eighteen
inches high. When the family-the
men only-assembIes to dine, cushions
are brought, placed upon the frame
and on these the members seat them
selves tailor fashion, forming a circle
around a large trav.
The hay is very large wooden,
plated or silver affair, according to
the financial condition Of the family,
and thereon is deposited capacious
bowl. About it are arranged ssucers
of sliced cheese, anchovies, caviare
and sweetmeats. Interspersed with
these are goblets Of sherbet, pieces Of
hot unleavened bread and boxwood
spoons.
Knives, forks and plates do not fig
ure in the service, but each has a nap
kin spread upon his knees and every
one, armed with a spoon, helps him
self.
The bowl is presently borne away
and another dish takes its place. This
time it is conglomeration of substan-
tials stewed together, such as mutton,
game or poultry. The mess has been
divided by the cook into portions
which are..dipped up with the aid Of
a spoon or with the fingers.
For the host to fish out Of the mess
a wing or leg Of the fowl and present
it to a guest is considered great com
pliment, and for Turk TO roll NOR
sci between his fingers and put 1t into
the mouth Of a visitor is looked upon
as good manners.

sent the bag to the roof, but the recOil
struck him with surprise, not only
once but two or three times. The
mule was astonished, shocked. He
wasn't used to being kicked back.
They kept up the contest all day, and
toward evening the mule showed signs
Of weakening, but old Silas was not
satisfied yet. He went to bed, and
during the night he heard the mule
braying for mercy, but his heart was
still hardened. When he went to the
stable in the morning the sandbag
was as fresh as ever, but the mule
bad laid down in despair and was
dead-died Of broken heart.

Mr.. B. and one of the party pro-
ceeded to the old church, placed the
cup as agreed upon, and returned.
The young man mounted his horse
and set out. The noise and jollity
now ceased. The storm appeared to
Increase It's fury, and the men gathered
more closely about the fire and con-
versed in low tones, ever and anon
peering out into the inky blackness Of
the night, and shuddering as they
thought Of the errand upon which
their companion had gone.
The time passed slowly. A half
hour-an hour Suddenly the sound
II hoof-strokes, as Of a horse madly
galloping, was heard. They rush, /
to the door as their companion dashed
up, his horse white with foam and
quivering with fright. de hung NM
self from the saddle and rushed into
the room. He did not have the cup.
His friends gathered about him and
urged him to relate the cause Of his
failure, but pale and trembling, he sat
a picture of abiect terror. He was
deaf to all their opportunities, refus-
ing to disclose anything relating to his
adventure, nor did they, at any time,
succeed in probing the mysterious CIR
cumstances. He was ever after a
