Music Dog Was u sabbatarian.

A little white dog that sits on the
music box of a blind man in Mime
apolis, and permits people to drop
pennies in a basket tied around his
neck by a ribbon. on last Fourth of
July refused to attend to business.
He snarled and showed his teeth when
any attempt was made to put on his
uniform. The little fellow frisked and
gambolled, tugged at. his chain. bit
the stump tails of his stray compan-
ions and generally misconducted him
self.
The blind man says that the dog
has never been asked 10 work on Sun
day. He thinks that Sunday ought
to be a day of rest for blind men and
dogs as well as more fortunate be-
ings, so every Sunday the dog gets
an extra fine breakfast. consisting of
boiled liver. and full liberty to do pre-
cisely as he pleases. Thus the little
curly dog has come to regard Sunday
as a full holiday. and he knows when
the day comes around. because on that
day his master puts on a white shirt
and his best hat. The blind man is
patriotic. and so on the Fourth he
wore his white shirt and best hat,
hence the little white dog thought
that it was Sunday. and refused to
work.-Our Dumb Animals.

THE VALUE OF FLAVoRS.
We Could Not Get Along without Their
Presence In Our Food.

Chemists tell us that cheese is one
time one of the cheapest foods. It's
nutritious value is greater than meat.
while its cost is much less. But this
chemical aspect of the matter does not
express the real value of the cheese as
food. Cheese Is eaten, not because Of
its nutritious value as expressed by
the amount of proteids, fats and carbo-
hydrates that it contains, but always
because of its flavor. Now physiolo-
gists do not find that flavor has any
food value. They teach over and over
again that our foodstuffs are proteids,
fats and carbohydrates. and that food
flavor plays absolutely no part. But.
at the same time, they tell us that the
body would be unable to live upon
these foodstuffs were 1t not for the
fiavors.
If one were compelled to eat pure food
without flavor. like the pure white of
an egg, il is doubtful whether one
could, for a week at time. consume a
sufiiciency of food to supply his bodily
needs. Flavor is as necessary as nui-
triment. 1t gives zest to the food
and thus enables us to consume it
properly, and, secondly, it stimulates
the glands to secrete. so that the foods
may be satisfactorily digested and as
simulated. The whole art of cooking,
the great development of fiavoring
products, the high prices paid for spe-
cial foods like Holsters and oysters
these and numerous other factors con-
nected with the food supply and pro-
duction are based solely upon demand
for flavor. Flavor is a necessity. but
it is not particularly important what
the flavor may be. This is shown by
the fact that different people have such
different tastes in this respect. The
garlic of the Italian and the red pepper
of the Mexican serve the same purpose
as the vanilla which we put in our ice
cream; and all play the part Of giving
relish to the food and stimulating the
digestive organs to proper ACTIVITY

There are dolls and dolls. but Ma
omi Oles, a Pennsylvania girl, has in

cause of the hair on the dolls head.
If any of our girl readers were to

a sacrifice for member of the nur-

The hair OF Naomi's doll actually
came from the head of her father.
It happened in this way: Twenty-one
years ago Mr.. Oles was the proud pos
SCISSOR Of silken locks with natural
tendency to curl. AS he grew older
his mother thought it was not becom-
ing that boy of his age should wear
such pendants, and it was with much
persuasion that she finally induced
him to have his hair cut When the
barber had shorn him of his locks
the mother secured them and placed
them away for safekeeping.
Recently she had dolls wig made
of the hair, and having had 1t placed
upon pretty doll, the grandmother
presented it to Naomi. The little girl
is extremely proud of her gift, and
seems to thoroughly realize the value
OF this doll with natural hair so pecu-
liarly secured. Naomi's present is the
envy OF all the little girl friends in

Tabitha teased to be given place
at the table also. Alice insisted on
Tabitha's right to place, and so the
cat was placed in high-chair by the
side of her mistress. A napkin was
placed under Tabitha's chin. and
plate of fish was set before her. Tab
itha behaved splendidly. In a dainty
way she helped herself to the fish,
and quite won the favor of the family,
much to the delight of Alice.
From that time Tabtha was given
she was as prompt at her meals as

well as any one in the house. Tabitha
especially enjoyed dinner on Fridays,
for the family was accustomed to
have fish on that day, and If there
was any dish that the cat loved II was
fish.
One day this led to a remarkable
happening. The dinner bell had rung
and all the family we're in their seats
except Tabitha. whose place was va
cant. The dinner proceeded. and the
dessert had been reached. when the
cat came bouncing into the room with
two mice in her mouth. Before any
one could stop her she jumped into
her chair, and put one mouse on her
plate, depositing the other on Alice's
plate. Tabithas generosity was not

NEW METHOD OF TRANSPORTATION
VIII the Pipe Line BE Used for other Pur-
poses Than Oil Distribution?

One of the developments of the COM
ing century, worthy of at least passing
thought, is the extent to which pneu-
matte tube principle will be employed
to expedite transportation which Is
now entirely dependent on steam loco
motives
For example, the long lines Of load
ed coal cars go from the mines to
the seabosrd. and come back empty
to the mines. II the weight of a car
is 25 percent of the gross load, there
is in this instance more than so per-
cent loss or non-paying freight. the
empty train requiring about as much
power to haul it up into the interior as
was expended in taking 1t to the ship
ping port.
It does not seem altogether unrea.
sonable. therefore, to think that just
as the miles of tank cars loaded with
oil, which were seen in former years,
have disappeared. and that commodity
is now sent hundreds of miles through
pipe lines, SO may coal, grain, an
ore be sent speeding through tubes to
central depots for local distribution.
In the matter of coal transportation,
in fact, just such pipe line convent
ence was tried eXperimentally some
thing like 10 to 12 years ago by the
late w. C. Andrews Of New York, the
coal for that purpose being ground
into powder. mixed with water in suffi-
ciently large proportion, and carried
through the pipes in semi-liquid form.
At the delivery end of the pipe line
there were to be settling chambers for
the mixture. enabling the water to be
drained off and the coal paste, II we
may so term 1t, to be pressed into
cakes and dried for consumption.
The project. however. did not extend
beyond a brief experimental career.
In woolen mills. on the other hand,
1t is a common thing to blow wool
from one building to another through
pipes by means Of fans. and In pot.
teries. too. clay paste Is frequently
carried from one point to another
through pipes. There Is, thus. a fair.
ly good beginning for pipeline engi'
neering with solids.-Cassier's Mag4,
