A man was once given large dog to

ing abroad, but the dog annoyed him
by always sitting in his best arm
chair.
One day a splendid idea struck him.
He came into the room and found the
dog in his usual seat, so he walked up
to the window and called:
"Cats. Cats!'
Up jumped the dog and rushed to
the window, while the man went and
sat in his chair.
A few days later the dog walked into
the room while his master was sitting
in his armchair. Going up to the win
dow, he parked loudly.
The man got up to see what was the
matter, and the dog rushed and Sc

part of the cuffs
Some dressmakers when they wish

the canvas around the arm size and an
other around the inside of the shoulder
close to the collar. This gives a rather
military stiffness much affected by
many 1t is better suited to cloths
than velvet or silks.
The piece which forms the revers is
basted firmly to the front with the
canvas lining and stitched and turned
right side out and again basted. so that
it cannot slip, then is stitched by the
machine in one or more rows. 1t is
not until the garment Is finished that
the revers are pressed, but when the
collar is on they are basted back to the
position they are to occupy.
The upper collar is lined, but not in
terlined, and is first sewed and pressed
fiat and turned right side out and the
edges stitched. The lower collar has a
lining of canvas, which is sewed in
with the outside of the two pieces Of
the collar. The center of this band is
basted firmly to the exact center Of
the upper collar and stitched so that
the lower collar is brought over, and
this is in turn stitched to the blouse,
with each seam exactly where it should
go, the center of the collar in the cen
ter of the back. This brings the ends
to the middle of the front, and from
there the reyers fall away.
The garment may be fastened by but
tons, frogs and loops or have fly front.
The sleeves are to be basted along
the bottom with the interlining Of the
canvas after the outside seam is sewed
and pressed. The fare of the bottom
is faced up three inches with the dress
material and stitched on the wrong
side and then turned and restitched,
with the canvas even with the cloth
This is then turned. rebasted and
stitched, after which it is pressed fiat
and then the inner seam is sewed and
the lining is put in. The lining to the
sleeves has the outside seam sewed
and the seam is strongly tackled to the
edge of the fiat seam in the cloth.

WHEEL AND IT'S WAY
OBSTACLES OF MANY KINDS WHICH
IMPEDE ITS PROGRESS.

Good Roads n Mighty Force as

Work For the Roadmalser.
One Of the most instructive papers of
the good roads convention in Buffalo
in September was by Lewis M. Haupt
Philadelphia, member of the isthmian
canal commission.
Every forward turn of Wheel" he
said, sis revolution and typifies prog
ress. 1t is immaterial whether 1t be a
wagon wheel or a car wheel, fly
wheel or water wheel, turbine or a
propeller, pinion or pulley, bicycle
or a mobile. 1t is always fascinating
to see rsle wheels go round.
"But behind the wheel to make it re-
volve there may be a crank; behind the
crank there must be a motor; behind
the motor an artisan; behind the arti-
can capitalist; behind the capitalist
an inventor; behind the inventor there
Is the great Creator of mind and mat
ter, the incomprchensible God, the
handspring of all activities and posi-
biltios.
"Intuitively the mind is carried back
in the spirit of the days of old, when
the prophet Ezekiel stood on the banks
of the river Chebar, in the land of the
Chaldeans. and, looking into the opened
heavens. beheld the four living crea-
lures which had the likeness of man
going upon wheels.
1.-The appearance of the wheels and
| their work was like unto the color of
beryl. and they four had one likeness,
and their appearance and their work
was, as it We're, u wheel in the middle
of wheel. The spirit of the liv-
ing creature was in the wheels. And
whithersoever the spirit was to go they
went, thither was their spirit to 60.
From that day to this the earth has
trundled around her course in yearly
laps, bearing to the children of the
present century the frution of this
prophecy of the spirit and the wheels
Well may it be said today that every
thing goes upon wheels. but there are
wheels and wheels. Some turn more
easily than others and do more work
at less cost. and thus we are brought
directly into contact with the surface
or roadway which the wheel harnesses
as a practical question In economics
mechanics and physics.
"In additiSn to the wheel and it,
way there are obstacles of various
kinds which impede its progress

In estimating the value of mummy
It's medicinal qualities are no longer
appraised, and thus the problem is cas-
Ter of solution. Its value must have
been greater when it formed a regular
part of the materia medica. Until
pretty late in the eighteenth century
mummies entered into a great variety
of drugs, balms and other medica-
ments.
AS the genuine mummy was then ex-
pensive, recipes were given by many
ancient writer's for converting human
flesh into mummy. Usually only GER
tain portions of the body were used,
and these were beaten, dried, macerat-
ed and spiced out of all likeness TO
their natural condition; hence beaten
to mummy"
Numerous illusions are made to the
practice in ancient literature, and in an
old play, BIRD In Cage" are the di-
rections, make mummy of my flesh
and sell me 10 the apothecaries:"

YOKOHAMA BY NIGHT.
Lantern illumination Makes the City
Akin to Fairyiand.

\ row of paper lanterns in the black
shadow of a wall is the first impress
sion the newly arrived traveller has of
Yokohama as he steps from his sam
pan" on to the wharf at night.
The lanterns hang low and almost
motionless, but at the word ''rickshaw'
they begin to sway, and with silent,
almost rhythmical movement they
come rushing toward him. A moment
later he discovers that each lantern Is
attached to a rickshaw, which offers
for less than half yen an hour to con-
vcy him anywhere his fancy may lead
him. But 90 where he will the lantern
is always there, dangling and swaying
and dimly flashing.
The lantern on tie rickshaw is a
characteristic detail of the night pic
ture of Yokohama. 1t is a series OF
brilliant dashes of color under a cloud
less, starlit sky. famed by soft
breeze which seems half of the sea and
half of the tropics, with smiling. doll
like people gliding about everywhere.
1t hardly seems real. 1t isn't fairyland
exactly, because fairies are not sup
posed to be always as picturesque as
are these japanese. Certain it is that
few things anywhere in the round
world can be more beautiful than Ian
tern lighted Yokohama.
AS the occidental crosses the bridge
over the canal from the foreign quar-
ter ard enters the native city he sees
bewildering maze of lights. Through
out Yokohama gas lamp posts are few
and far between, Il fact which makes
the lantern illumination all the more
conspicuous. They are not hung at reg
ular heights or intervals, but make Q
sort of tangle of soft colored lights
over the front of the buildings anC
even across the street.-New York Mai

A NEGLECTED POET.
One V,rmonter Whose Muse Has Not

One V,rmonter Whose Muse Has Not
Brought Him Local Fame.
We note with pleasure an authoritative
contradiction Of the recent sensational
story about Henry X. Dorr of Rutland.
and we hope that the yarn has been
given a quietus.
In the mean time it has not seemed to
occur to any Vermont newspaper to note
the fact that Mr.. Dorr is one of three
Vermont poets Of this generation to
catch the ear of the great outside world
the other two being Mrs. Julia c. r
Dor and James Buckham.
Mr.. DORIS poems were received with
great acceptance, aud it is not going too
far 10 say that one or two of them have
become classics in American poetry
All ale marked by a delicate fancy, a
refined touch, and great fidelity to nature.
Most of them, we are sorry to say, date
back to fifteen or twenty years ago. Had
Mr.. Dorr continued his poetical work.
he most certainly would have achieved a
verv distinguished position in the world
of letters.
BY way of proof of the truth of what
we are saying, and by The way Of calling
attention afresh to Vermont writer of
whom we should be proud, we print one
of Mr.. DORIS nature poems. 1t Is. we
think, well worth place by the side of
81 yant's "Robert of Lincoln" and a
poem of which any writer might be
proud. Ii Is entitled
THE CHICKADEE.
All the earth Is wrapped in snow,
Der the hills the cold winds blow;
Through the valley down below
WhirIs the blast.
| All the mountain brooks are still,
Not n ripple from the HILL
For each tiny murmuring rill
| Is frozen fast.
Come with me
To the tree
Where the apples used 10 hang,
Follow me
| To the tree
Where the birds of summer sang!
There's IA happy fellow there.
For the cold he does not care,
And he Away calls 10 me,
"Chicka tee! Chickadee"
He's merry little fellow,
Neither red nor blue nor yellow,
For he wears II winter oVercOat of gray;
And his CHEEKY little voice
Makes my happy heart rel DICE,
while he calls the livelong day
Calls to me,
"Chlckadee!"
From the leafless apple-tree,
"Chickadce' ChickAdee"
Tren he hops from Dough to twig,
Tapping on each tiny sprig,
calling happily to me.
"CMckadee!"
He's II merry little fellow,
Neither red nor blue nor yellow;
He's the CHEEKY bird of winter
