DOG OPENED FATHERS EYES
Experience Of a Man Who Had Several
Growing Girls.


Growing Girls.
cit is quite interesting to be the IA
ther of several growing girls" said one
of group of family men i'll the smoker
of a suburban car.
Yes, " answered another one, with a
shrug of his shoulders, especially when
they all want new gowns at the same
time.
Il wasn't thinking of that, - said the
first speaker, "but of q way they have
of taking the wind out of your own
sails. 1t never occurred TO me until the
other morning that it was not to see me
that young fellows kept dropping in to
play cards and make themselves agree
able. 1 tumbled at last. but it was my
hunting dog Jack that opened my eyes. :"
"Your hunting dog:'' echoed the
crowd.
Eyes. / had heard of nearly every
kind of plan for the communication
of lovers except a dog. In, this case
Jack became Cupid's messenger. Those
boys borrowed the dog ostensibly to go
hunting, but 1 have learned since that
they didn't know gun from hoe han
die. They tied Jack up overnight, and
as soon as he got out in the morning he
made bee line for home. If 1 hadn't
seen the corner of paper sticking from
under his collar / should never have
suspected the eagerness with which
these girls tried to head him off from
me"
''He had letter for them?''
''No, just a note asking the privilege
of seeing dear Miss Kate or Miss Sue in
the park for walk and chat. Nice
idea, employing the dog of the family
in clandestine correspondence! 1 an
swered that note myself, and the two
girls haven't spoken to me since. Jack
is tied up, and I'm watching the cat
now, for have no doubt they'll find a
way to circumvent me- " - Chicago

HE LOVED THE SEA.
Tennyson Used to Study 1t From the
Downs of the Isle of Wight.

Downs of the Isle of Wight.
Tennyson. said, Somehow water is
the element I love best of all four, " but
in the recent memoir he is also credited
with saying that he ''never cared great
" for the sea ON the south coast. 1t is
not grand sea, only an angry, curt sea. "
Probably that was a view expressed
before he became familiar with the To-
cality, for though the Atlantic does not
plunge against the isle of Wight as
against Cornwall and the west of Ire
land he himself has proved how much
power and enchantment the sea reveals
from the downs. Let the weather be
fair or foul, nature is never dull from
the vantage ground of those oonvexities
which seem like the rlnd OF the earth
and give an illusion OF vastness and
openness beyond their actual area. Men
striding ON ridges and etched against
the sky indeed seem ''as trees walking"
The wind rustling i'll the ear, the sheep
bleating, the sea churnlng among the
powders, the occasional believing of a
steamer for pilot, the swallows crying
in their low flights and the gulls scream
ing give the only sounds. When the
mist closes over the scene, strange
sense of being disembodied possesses us,
we are lost in the impenetrable vapor,
and the gulls pass over our heads, Wis
ible but for an instant as they float from
obscurity into obscurity. In times of
storm one seems to be at the seat of the
elements and a witness to all their
processes. The clouds roll and break
against the cliffs like another sea, and
sunbursts flashing from them leave a
silver swath over the vexed and SOM
Der pillows. On sultry days water
spout, whirling like dervish, is no un-
common sight, and he who makes the
downs his observatory becomes wise IN
all the phenomena of sea and air. Climb
ing them at night gives one the feeling
of scaling the walls of heaven itself.
They slope like the sides of pyramid,
and the apex of the pyramid impales
the stars. On sunny days the sea below
is purple, and every shade of blue and
green that can be thought of, even Ito
use one of Tennyson' S own descriptions
like a peacOck's neck.
Rarely was there aVisitor at Earring
ford that he was roe brought up to the
beacon and shown all these wonders and
beauties. Except in his closing years
the poet was found upon them in all
weathers and at all seasons, and from
them and the surrounding scenery he
drew many of the landscapes of his
poems. North American Review.

A snnniern Trick.

1t is said that animals do not reason.
but you cannot convince the owner of
a black cocker spaniel of this. The
man lives in New York. and of course
the dog acknowledges that city as his
place of residence also. y young lady
of the family to which he belongs once
teased him by SCOUTING about the rugs
of her home until she could give an
electric spark of considerable snap and
then discharging it upon the nose of
her pet, the spaniel.
Not long after the abuse the dog was
observed 10 roll upon the rugs, entirely
of his own accord and then run to the
brass bedsteads and obtain a spark.
This he continues to do, and his own
observation seems TO have taught him
that he must approach metal in order
to receive the spark. In one room he
runs to the beds;sad. in another TO the
register. and as he licks his nose after
the pricking OF the spark he never fails
TO wag the remains of his tail, and his
face ASSUMES decided expression OF
pleasure.

Effects of a Bee sting.

An English physician relates an in
stance of a lady who was stung by a
bee. At the first moment she seemed to
pay very little attention to it, but very
soon her face became flushed and spots
appeared all over her body. Suddenly
she developed a most severe attack of
asthma, finding great difficulty in
breathing Another instance is that of
a young lady who was stung ON the
back of her head by an ordinary honey
bee. In less than five minutes her face
began to swell, and very marked red
and white spots appeared all over the
surface of the body. The swelling ex-
tended over the entire person, accon1pa-
MED by severe pain, burning and giddi-
ness. The eyes We're almost closed and
the countenanoe was SO distorted as to
be unrecognizable. Very free bathing
in soda water, with a little soda taken
internally, and hot applications to the
feet and thorough massage finally afford
ed relief. but it was some hours before
the patient recovered from what was
truly an alarming condition. Violent
attacks of nervousness accompanied the
trouble, and the sense of -suffocation
was almost intolerable. The young wo-
man had been stung a number of times
before without any apparent unpleasant
result. The physicians were OF the opfn-.
ion that the bee had been feeding upon
some extremely poisonous plant, which
became concentrated in the venom Of
the sting. Be that as it may, the condi-
ton was such as to excite grave appre-
hension, the more so as it was several
days before recovery was complete
