WHAT P~oLITENEss DID.
a Little Comedy of Errors In which
an III-Mannered Yellow Pup
Pnayed the star Part.

Frequent meetings at the church
guild. at the afternoon card club and q
few calls constituted the acquaint-
anceship of Mrs. Becker and Mrs. Cas-
sell. Nevertheless they were good
enough chums.
They knew each others troubles
with servants, their fayorite tailors,
and. as both were dog lovers, had
heard of each others wonderful ca
nine pets. AS Mrs. Cassell swished up
the front steps leading to Mrs. Beck
er's house the other afternoon a mis-
cradle, ugly, little yellow dog skipped
up beside her and when the door was
opened shot inside ahead of her. The
animal was an irretrievably common
place cur, and Mrs. Cassell was ap-
palled.
The very ideal" she said to herself,
"of her boasting so over lei dog. My
terrier wouldn't condescend to look
at him!"
She ~endeavored to conceal her hor-
ror of the little animal frisking around
the reception and to veil her pity
when her hostess arrived. To Mrs. Cas-
sells amazement Mrs. Becker endured
with equanimity the dogs careening
across her satin upholstered chairs
with frightfully wet and muddy feet,
and beyond one quick look said never
a word when he danced on a white
sofa cushion embroidered in apple
blossoms, but continued her converse
ton amiably.
Mrs Becker's houSewifely SOU was
shocked. Foolish as I may be owe
my Fido," she said to her inner con-
sciousness, Il would not be so ridicu-
1ous as to smile while he ruined the
furniture"
When the little dog, with his home
ly face, pranced across to Mrs. Becker
and impudently planted those same
feet in the lap of her delicate-hued
house gown she did not repulse him,
but with what Mrs. Cassell mentally
decided was an idiotie smile, even pat
ted his head and called him fond
names. 1t was too much and Mrs. Cas-
sells opinion of her good friend
dropped to zero with a thud. As she
carried on a light conversation with
her strangely benighted hostess she
was assuring herself that charming
manners, a love for good deeds and
a pretty face did not make up for
servile devotion to such a ragged rat
of a dog as the one which at the mo-
ment was placidly chewing up the en-
pensive lace curtains and tearing them
with his paws. As the animal, nre
proved, swallowed a whole renaissance

A Roman gentleman. Sig. Marine

L E HAIR.
Persons Who Have 1t Must Keep
Away from the Sea Lions
Cage.

Sea lions dislike people with REQ
hair. So says Capt. Woodward, a sea
lion trainer, in the asst with his pets.
One day recently he posted a sign in
front of a cage of sea lions request
ing red-haired people to keep at a
distance from the cage. OF course
every one laughs at the sign, and
there r very few people who can
be made to believe this is true, but
the captain firmly declares it is, says
a New York exchange.
"The particular reason for the
sign he said, lis that a certain
young woman with bright red hair
recently had her gown ruined by one
of the sea lions, who squirted a
mouthful of water over it. And now
I am threatened with a suit for dam
ages"
When the captain is asked the rea-
son for this strange caprice he
shakes his head. THE only explana-
ton I can OFFER he says, sis that
up in the sea lions native home in
the arctic world there is a parasite, a
small, red crablike animal, which
gives the sea lion the greatest, an
noyance. They come in countless
numbers and attack the animals
while they are asleep. Then when
they have buried themselves in the
lions soft fur they r very difficult:
to dislodge.
"Now, of curse, I can't say hat
this has anything to do with the ami
mails hatred of red hair. But I am
certain that the sea lion in that tank
son comes near them. The minute
they see the red hair they duck down
into the tank and come up with a
mouth full of water, which they throw
at the annoying color, and if it is
within five feet of them it is in for a
soaking. The sight of red seems to
madden them as it does a bull, and
they never hesitate to show their
feelings"
One of the sea lions peculiar traits
is his ability to throw water from
his mouth to a considerable distance
and with great force. The lions
mouth holds about a quart of water,
and he always draws his mouth full
before he raises his head. Then with
a quick, n~oiseless motion of the head
he expels the water with great force.
and the victim, particularly when it
is a surprised museum visitor, is COM
pletely vercom The method OF
this attack is quite as annoying as it

Down on the old York road lived
for years an elderly woman who vas
the neighbor of Lucretia Mott, and
understood and enjoyed her many &C.
centricities. Iucretia, she said, had a
fine apple orchard. Her apples were
the most famous in the entire re-
gion. The orchard was separated
from the road by a stone wall, and
the ~passer-by would often climb over
the wall and take some of the fruit.
This was a source of great distress
to Lucretia, who was one of the best
as well as one of the most generous

temptation in the way of others
troubled her greatly. Finally she de-
cided upon a plan to ease her con-
science. At intervals along the top
of the wall she placed baskets filled
with choice apples. On each basket
was a sign which read: "Thou shalt
not steal" Beneath was another
sign: "Help thyself."-Youth's Com.

LEAVING THE WORK FoR COP.

Mrs. Kate Mills Boyd, secretary of the
speech at Willard Hall. said: "T nnd
eago who are willing to, pray for us, but
Inc fortunate are praying for the man
whose head is bowed,
they are asking God to help him IN
his need.
They are praying for the weak ones who
are jostled in the crowd.
Who must suffer for the strong OPP
pressor's greed:
They are praying for the woman who
must stitch from break of day
For a pittance till the evening shad-
ows fall,
But they haven't time to succor them
that totter by the way,
And they want the Lord above to do 1t
There is help the strong could give
To the weak that want to live,
But they ask the Lord above to give 1t
all.
The mighty men are praying that the
weaker may be strong,
To go the way the righteous ought to
go;
The lordfy take the earnings of the ones
who toll along,
And wonder at the wickedness below;
They pray for him who grumbles at the

But they want their God above to lift
them all
There is help the strong could lend

Oh, it's easy to be hopeful and it's easy
to be good
When the ways we go are clear and
smooth and broad;
It's easy to stand up and talk for Thu
man brotherhood"
And it's easy to leave all the rest to
God,
It's easy when the bells ring out upon
the holy day,
To piously obey the solemn call.
And it's easy to kneel down and COM

It's easy to advise,

The Ecrinse Cyclone.

The remarkable discovery that q
total eclipse of the sun developes a
cold-air cyclone as the shadow
sweeps across the earh has been
made by Mr.. Fl. C.. Clayton through a
study of the meteorological phenom-
ena observed during the eclipse of
May, 1900. During the eclipse the
winds were practically reversed in
direction, as the umbra moved from
one side of the continent to the 9TH
er, and there was an outflow of air
from the shadow to a distance of
1900 miles. AS the shadow o
ressed about 1000 miles an hour,
"the eclipse cyclone, to keep pace
with it, must have continuously
formed within the shadow and must
have dissipated in the rear almost
instantly" Mr.. Clayton believes
that this discovery indicates that the
fall of temperature at night must
tend TO produce a cold-air cyclone,
while the heat of day tends to the
production of a warm-air one, and
thus the puzzling phenomenon of the
double diurnal period in air pressure
receives an OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

when the Children snore.

Snoring is a symptom that should
not be neglected in children. It shows
that there is some obstruction to the
free passage of air from the nose to
the throat. The tonsils may be en-
larged, and partially close the passage
at its lower opening. There may be
polypus or some small tumor in the
nasal passage itself, or catarrh OF the
throat or nose, or both. A physician
should be consulted. - Ladies' Home

Wholesale Smuggling of Both from
canada Into This Country.

SANTA BARBARA. Cal. Aug. 13.-Dis-
coveries have just been made which are be-
lieved to establish conclusively that whole
sale mugglin of Chinese from British
Columbia into the United States through
Santa Barbara has been carried on. The
revenue officials were notified several
weeks ago and for three weeks the revenue
cutter Mccullough has been cruising i'm the
waters of Santa Barbara channel i'm search
of evidence. The smuggling scheme is
outlined as follows: Lumber-laden vessels
leave Puget sound for southern California
points, and after getting well out 70 sea run
over to Vancouver. y. g.. and pick up Chi
nese. who are ostensibiy shipped as part of
the crew. Some of these vessels put into
Port Hartford. San Pedro and Others. with
crews twice as large as necessary. When
sailing for the north the crews consist
almost exclusively of white sailors. An
other method adopted * the landing of
Chinese on one OF the islands in the chan
mel. and they are brought 10 Santa Bar
hara as Abalone fishermen.
Just what discoveries have been made by
the officers on the revenue cutter are not
known. but they have been placed in pos
session of important information by the
local officers and are now following up
clews furnished by the secret-service
agents. II is said that the evidence OBJ
tanned shows that opium also has been
smuggled into southern California ports.
