DOG RUNS A -CHURN.
FOr the Last Two Years the Faithful esy Fellow Has Churned Entire PrOd- -s'St net of a Large Dairy.

The uses to which the dog is put are many, and are constantly increas- ing in number as his fitness for diff ferent kinds of work is appreciated. In Holland almost all the vegetable and fish carts of the market are drawn by dogs: the same animals carry the light cargoes of the north, and in the Alps they accompany searching par ties and are kept in the monaster1es for the purpose of locating travellers who have lost their way and would oth- erwise perish. In our own land scarce ly a9week passes without the payment of tribute of some sort to a creature of the canine breed for his acts of her .eism or other performances, which indicate that he has a natural in- sight into the affairs of men.
 He has long been a necessity upon the farm. In addition to being pro- tection to the place, he acts in many capacities which render his services invaluable. On hearing word from his master he will bound off into the pasture and drive the cows to the barn for milking, and in the case of Medina county (O.) farmer, the dog pulls the latch string at big gate, which is arranged to spring open, and the owner finds his cows in their stalls without an effort on his part.
 A comparatively new use to which the farm dog is being putin northeast ern Ohio and western Pennsylvania is

one of the brothers raises his hand in joke toward his sister Pussy will growl like dog and, jumping at his feet, will catch hold with her teeth and claws. She is jealous of any at tentions paid to the members of the family, and if her mistress calls one of them Pussy scrambles to get there first and offer her services. If stranger is in the apartment work ing she will sit right down beside him and refuse to take her eyes away from him until he is outside the door.
 Pussy sits beside her owner at table, and dainty bits are given to her. If she is occasionally forgotten she will touch her mistress arm with her paw, but she is too polite to esmew" at table. Every morning she has drink of lemonade, and she is so fond of raisins that she will pull open bag to get at them.-N. I. Tribune

A KNOWING PUSSY CAT.
shows Extraordinary Devotion for Her Young Mistress and Is with
 Her Whenever Possible.

The first days of Pussy's life were passed in a grocery store, where a bag of flour supplied g comfortable bed. She looked intelligent, but there was nothing about her to indi- cate that she would develop into a regular watch .cat,' as she is. now known by her many admirers.
 When Pussy was two weeks old she was presented to her mistress, and was taken in tiny basket to her wearing blue ribbon with tinzling silver bell attached.
 Pussy at once developed the most extraordinary affection for her young mistress, and determined to get all of her society that she could. She promptly let it be understood that she had firmly decided to sleep on the foot of her mistress bed, and that she considered ten o'clock quite late enough for anyone, to sit up. She es- tabished custom of calling her mis- tress at that hour, and continues it to this day. When the clock strikes ten, Pussy walks up to her mistress and, standing in front of her, utters A'neows" of entreaty, then walks to the bedroom and back again.
 One day recently, when all the fam lily had gone out, her mistress re- turned and rang the bell. Pussy, who recognized her special ring, rushed to the front door and made frantic efforts to open it. She had often watched the servant unfasten the chain, and, thinking that was the ob- stacle, she jumped up to it, and her young mistress could hear her swing ing from it and pumping against the door in vain efforts to open it.
 Pussy will not allow any roughness of tone or manner to her owner. If

any prairie dog town. The usual note of the owl is a gentle poo-oo, sometimes like the coo of dove.
 The owls are about ten inches long, grayish brown profusely spotted with white, of pretty appearance. They have the very curious habit, when they aight on the ground, of bow ing several times in dignifed man. ner, as nearly like a person as could be expected of a bird. When dis turbed or angry they will bow ex- citedly or circle about the heads of the intruders, uttering all the time weird whistling cries.
 The eggs are deposited at the end of the burrows and lie upon the dirt, bones and fur which the owls have left from their feeding. The eggs are pure white, not so round as most owls eggs, and there are more of them than is usual for owls-as many as nine in one nest.
 Sometimes the baby owls are brought up from the nest for sun bath, and they sit in circle around the edge of the hole, looking like ht- tie puffs of white cotton. The full grown birds mingle freely with the dogs, not occupying any particular burrow except when nesting, but lodging in and out of any of them az

The First Camp Meetings.

Early in the year l799 John and William Magee, brothers, the first 8 Methodist local preacher, the second 8 Presbyterian minister, started from their settlements in Tennessee to make a preaching tour into Ken lucky. Such interest attended their work that at the next meeting many families encamped in the woods. The cooperation of these brothers was so pleasing an example of fraternity that the earliest camp meeting in eluded members of every denomina- tion, but when other preachers fol- lowed their example and held meet ings in the woods or out of doors they became confined to members of a single denomination, as at the present day

THE WATER SPIDER.
Its Nest Is Kept Thoroughly Dry, AL though Located Some Distance
 Below the Surface.

It seems strange that a certain kind of spider is capable of forming a bubble, taking it down through the water and discharging it into it's nest. so that the eggs, and later on the young, are kept dry and given air. Yet this is what the water spider does. g
 Although this spider lives on land, where it needs plenty of air to breathe, it is really matched under the water and spends a great deal ot it's time there beneath the surface

eration of the dogs, owls and snakes in these colonies are not founded on fact so far as relations of perfect friendship are concerned.
 The little prairie marmot is called a dog because of it's short, ''yappy'' bark. It digs a deep burrow, the en- trance to which is surmounted by a mound of earth and sometimes there are as many as several thou sand of these occupied burrows in a prairie dog "village."-St. Nicholas,

How to Bake Onions.

Peel six large onions. put them in a
 saucepan and cover with boiling water
 and let them boil for b minutes. Pour of the water and cover them with cold
 water. Then drain them again when they are cool. Put them in baking dish or agate pan. sprinkle with salt and pepper. pour over them one cupfuI of hot milk and add one tablespoonful of butter in small pieces, cover with buttered paper and bake until tender. Serve with roast turkey or chicken.

It's body is covered with hair, which holds the air like drops of water, and when the body is charged with these air particles, the spider dives down under the surface, forming a bubble which it holds between the hind legs and carries with it. It is only in this manner that it can furnish air for the interior of it's nest, keeping it dry until the eggs are matched.
 First, of course, the mother spider builds her nest. This is placed some distance down in the water and is a sort of cell spun in the shape of an egg, having an opening on the under side. When this is completed, she rises to the surface and there charges. her body thoroughly with ar, Tben once more she dives under the surface, the Water foTAfng ' bubble which gradually swells fout from the body. This she skillfully holds between her furry hind legs, firmly, and yet gently, so that it won't break and escape.
 Swimming to the nest, she dis charges the bubble in it. This, of course, crowds out some of the wa ter, leaving the top filled with air. As the nest is large, requiring great deal, the spider makes another and yet another trip, until the whole in- terior is free from moisture. By this simple process she keeps the eggs dry and furnishes air for the young un- til they are large enough to swim out and get it for themselves.
 But, as much as this spider lives under water, it is always dry. No matter how long it may have been swimming around under the surface, the moment it comes to the top there is no trace of moisture on it. The reason of this is that the air par ticles that cling to it's hair keep off the water and prevent it from soak ing through the skin. Another strange thing about it is that it can swim with great speed, in spite of it's balloon-like burden. The best way to watch the water spider is to place one in vessel filled with water and containing some water plant. There it will quickly spin it's web, and, if fed on flies and bugs, lead it's aquatic existence.
 The eggs of this spider are laid in cocoon, shaped something like the top of a round dish. It generally contains 100 or more eggs, each one of which is separated from the oth- er.-Cincinnati Commercial Tribune

In many parts of our western prai ries there are large colonies of the burrowing owls, that usually occupy the deserted burrows of the little marmots called prairie dogs; but the owls have been known in some cases to nest in the burrows occupied by the dogs. Great numbers of birds come to these deserted towns, and live for years. They also often. inhabit rab- bit burrows or badger holes far from

WARNING TO STUDENTS.

| Article In This Mornings Yale News Concerning Disposition of Football
 Tickets.
 It bas been known for many years that some Yaie men are in the habit of getting good seats for the Harvard and Princeton games and then dispos-
 ing of them to spectators for advanc- ed prices, and last year the men who practiced this were humiliated by hav- ing their names printed in the Yale 1 News. This Is practice that the Yale
 people have decided to put an end to if they can, and those who have an
 idea that they will make money at the game this fall are warned by the follow
 ing which appears in this mornings S
 Yale News: Owing to the fact that so
 much trouble in recent years by some
 undergraduates and possibly some
 graduates carelessly or wilfully putting
 their Princeton and Harvard football
 tickets into the hands of spectators,
 1t has been urged that the football management introduce some perma-
 nent plan of penalizing those who thus
 dispose of their tickets, Since every
 Yale man has special privilege to first choice of seats, by virtue of being a
 Yale man, 1t has been decided to en- for the following plan: The names of all men who are discovered thus to have disposed of their tickets are to be kept on record in a book set aside for this purpose. Each succeeding year this list of names will have added to 1t all those who are found to have sold their tickets. All such men will be de- nied admission to the games as college men and when they make application their money will be returned to them. The only chance for such men to see the games will be to buy in general sale of tickets, if there happens to be any. For a clear understanding just how these tickets are handled, 1t might be well to say that a record of every ticket to the Princeton and Harvard games is kept so that it is known just who holds each ticket. It will be nec- essary to send inspectors out into the streets to hunt up tickets as large percentage of people who buy scalpers' tickets buy them with the privilege of consulting the football management as to whether they are good. There is quite list of names of men who sold their tickets last year on record in the football office and those who did so then are advised not to apply for tick cts as it will save them the possible of being denied their usual tickets"
 It was announced last night that the application for tickets for the Prince ton game would be given out Tuesday at the Coop. The tickets will be s2 each, and no applicant will be allowed more than three seats. The applica- tions must be in before November 7 and the applicant Is allowed until D. m. on November 13 to return the tick cts If he desires.
