DOG DIES FROM APPENDICITIS
Autopsy Showed That as Unmistalx- ably the Cause, Induced by
 Splintered Bones.

And now the dog is subject to ap- pendicitis. At least Dr. William Coop CT Eidenmuller, of this city, claims to have made discovery to that effect while performing an autopsy on the remains of a favorite pet, reports the San Francisco Examiner.
 When the animal died," said the physician, "I was not satisfied with the cause of his taking off and made a careful autopsy. I was assisted by a veterinary surgeon, and we had not been long at our task when it became evident that death had resulted from acute appendicitis.
 'eThe animal had been i'll for a year, and in reviewing his symptoms I can see that they were identical with those of humans who suffer from re- current attacks of this disease. Of course I did not at first think of a dog suffering from anything of this sort. There was no record of such a disease among animals.
 ''Splintered bones caused my dogs death, and while am not a veteri- nary have come to the conclusion that bones are not the best diet for canines.

No Danger from Parasites.

There seems little danger from i'm portation of parasites. With parasitic and predatory insects the food habits are definite and fixed. They can live on nothing but their natural food, and in its absence they die. The Australian Iadybird originally imported, for ex- ample. will feed upon nothing but scale insects of particular genus, and, as a matter of fact, as soon as the fluted scales became scarce the California officials had the greatest difficulty in keeping the little beetles alive, and were actually obliged to cultivate for food the very insects which they were formerly so anxious to wipe out of existence. With the Scutellista para site the same fact holds. The fly itself does not feed. and it's young feed only upon certain scale insects, and so with all the rest.-Everybody's Magazine.

abilities, but there are fruit stores ill the downtown district, says the Chicago Tribune, that have found it necessary to serve the drink to pa irons who have heard of the delights of tamarindade '.The beauty of tama- rindade,'' said fruit dealer, .'is that it is tart without being so bitter as lemonade. It needs no sweetening. Southerners take it because it heads off fever. Chicago people may take it because it is the best substitute for lemonade and does not cost so much. It is made by soaking the tamarind seeds in water and pressing out the juice. Lemonade may have been the proper beverage when men rode out to the croquet grounds on tricycles and grew thirsty, but in the days of golf links and automobiles lemonade must give way Tamarindade is the thing" Incidentally it is recalled that the lime, once despised as thing of no marketable worth, is now as much of necessity where drinks are served as is it's bigger brother the lemon. A like career is predicted for the tam arind. Gin rickies have made the lime an article of commerce, and now at certain seasons of the year the mar ket is almost barren of them. Adozen years ago the fruit growers of Califor mia merely tolerated the lime. It comes from hardy tree and little cul- tivation is needed. That is why it was not rooted up in favor of some more profitable growth. Now there is big money in the lime.

Taking Him at His word.

A young hopeful of some five sleigh tides recently acquired small rab- bit. His aunt found him the next day sitting on his knees with the rabbit held before him in both hands, and all ternately shaking it and exclaiming: "Five times fivei' '.Six times three!" -Four times seyenI"
 Shocked at this seemingly cruel act on the part of her usually gentle nephew, she said: '.Why, Harry, why on earth are you shaking that rab- bit so? You'll kill iti''
 ''WelL," responded Master Harry, ''papa said this morning that rab- bits multiply rapidly, but can't make this one say a thingi"-N Y Times.

When the woman at the soda water fountain turned round to pay her bill she saw the fat clerk braced back against the perfumery stand, flaming himself Imply, says the New York Sun.
 "Did you hear that?" he asked.
 s'aear what?" said the woman.
 sWhat?" he repeated, incredulous- ly. 'It doesn't seem possible that anybody could become so absorbed in a glass of ice cream soda as to miss that. I am talking of the osculatory performance of the woman who just went away from the phone.
 Honestly, that custom is a new one on me. I've been working in drug stores, one place and another, a good many years, and have heard several millions of women talk through the phone, but this is the first time I ever heard one of them kiss over the wire.
 ''Sure, didn't you hear it? Why, the smack sounded like a popgun. I'll bet the fellow at the other end of the line caught it, all right. He couldn't miss it, even if he was away out in San Francisco.
 "I wonder if this thing of ending a telephone conversation is some thing new, or is it an old fad that I am just catching on to because I am so mortal green? I'm used to hear ing pet names slung over the wire by the dictionary full, but this is my first kiss, figuratively speaking. It's funny. Long-distance kisses may be old style in other parts of the town, but tell you they're novelty here" !"

 Up the long. arduous ascent

 -J- A Edgerton, in Boston Budget. Spelling of Geographical Names. If anyone should ask you about "'s Gravenhaag" you would per haps not know that they were talking about The Hague, but they would be, and would also be perfectly right, ac- cording to the second report of the American board of geographic names, just issued from the government print ing office at Washington. Though the board does not hope for reform in such matters, it says that the custom of Anglicizing names of foreign places is absurd, and hopes we will go no fur ther in that direction, though we con tinue to say 1.-The Hague" Germany" instead of Deutschland" Italy" in- stead of Italia and so on through the list We must not write Pittsburgh" for the board says the final ''h'' in "burgh'' should be dropped. Further, the board says, we must, as far as pos sible, avoid the possessive forms; spell "centrer as here given, in geographical names; change thorough" to ''boro;" drop the hyphen entirely; also drop the words ''city' and town as parts of names. and entirely eliminate di- acritic characters.-N.

The young man came to America, where he remained until he was toured" of his love for a princess. He succeeded his father as Lord Revelstoke in 1897. Several times since then his name has been coupled with that of Princess Victoria as 6 probable match. It is this affair which is supposed to have restrained the princess from marriage. On the other hand, it is said that she is afflict- ed with epilepsy, which would also ac- count for the fact of her having re- mained single so long.

A certain number of peasants in the wilder and remoter districts of Ireland still wear something like national costume. About Lough Mask plenty of the lasses are to be seen in the picturesque red petticoats that artists loved to bring into their sketches of Irish life. A sprinkIing of the old high hats may be seen; the older fishermen and others wear them, but the younger school shun such antiqnated headgear, as the English peasant of to-day does the smock frock.-London Express.

Russia May Abolish Her Nobility.

At present the cZar's subjests are divided into four general classes-the nobility, the clergy, the inhabitants of the towns and those of the coun- try, says a St. Petersburg core spondent. The nobility is itself of two kinds, hereditary and personal. An officer acquires life nobility on acquiring certain rank in the army or navy. Those who attain the rank of colonel in the army and of captain in the navy become hereditary no- bles. It is most probable that when the proposed reform of the Russian system of class organization takes place the nobility will cease to exist as a separate class in the nation.
