The: Little .Doggse Fad.

Fashions in dogs are changing, and
actresses who display their berib-
boned pets on the promenades these
afternoons are canvassing the canine
market for new specimens. French
poodles had the call for time. Now
popular fancy has turned to diminu-
tive black and tans, the smaller the
better. Julia Marlowe has one scarce
.ly bigger than a kitten, and Minnie
Ashley appeared in Fifth avenue, New
York, recently, with two of them, tied
with ribbons and trotting along tan
dem fashion to the great amusement
of the crowd.

MAKE JOKE OF DISCIPLINE.

Among other good stories told by
Cyrus Townsend Brady in his Under
Iops'ls and rents" is this. It is re-
lated that a large. number of naval
cadets We're negligent in following the
service in the chapel, which was after
the ritual of the Episcopal church. An
incautious officer in charge on Sunday
morning made a little address to the
church party on the subject, saying he
supposed that some of them erred
through ignorance, but if they would
observe him carefully and do as he did
I'm military parlance, follow the mo-
tlons of the commanding officer) they
would not go wrong. Word was passed
quietly through the battalion. They
marched into the church. The officer
IN charge tcSK his place in the front
pew, settled himself in his seat and
calmly blew his nose. Three hundred
noses were blown simultaneously with
a vehemence that was startling. The
officer looked around and blushed vio-
lently in great surprise. Three hundred
heads followed the motions of the
commanding officer Six hundred
cheeks violently tried to blush-a hard
thing for a midshipn1an to do-and so
on through the service. The man could
not stir Without instant imitation. He
finally confined himself strictly to the
prescribed ritual Of the service, look
ing neither to the right nor to the left,
not daring to raise a finger or breathe
out, of the ordinary course. This en-
terprise also was a startling success.
The cadets received other. instructions
later in the day from a furious officer
who sternly resented their innocent
statements that they did not know
which was ritual and which was not.
and that e had not instructed them
that blowing his nose stood on diff
ferent plane from saying his prayers.
It was a huge joke everywhere. -.

An interesting temperance measure
was presented in the New York legis-
aature, recently adjourned, but failed
Of passage. Its purpose was to- oblige
all saloonkeepers to sell tea, coffee.
milk and chocolate as well as intoxi-
cants. The theory of those who draft
ed it was that many men who seek
the saloons for warmth and light and
sociability, and drink from a sense of
obligation, would be content with TEN
perance beverages, and perhaps prefe..
them, if they were to be had. The op-
ponents of the bill argued that the sa-
Aoon-keepeers might easily defeat its
purpose il they wished by serving tea
and coffee of SO poor quality that no
one would drink it; but plan similar
to that provided for in the bill has been
tried in certain saloons in England
and with considerable success.
