PROFESSIONAL DOC WASHERS.
onser Trade to Be Seen in Certain
Parts Of Paris.

Wide World Magazine: AS you walk
along certain parts of Paris your at
tention Is sometimes attracted by the
barking of n dog, and on such an oc-
casion one of the queerest Of the out
door trades of Paris is seen. Near the
waters edge, his black coat fecked
thickly with soap suds stands the dog,
and over him, energetically shampoo.

stands one of the professional dog
washers who haunt the banks of the
Seine at stated spots from the Pont
d'Iena to the Pont Neuf. These men
lather and wash pet dogs, while their
owners look on from conveniently plac-
ed chairs. The fees range from 5 sous
to a franc. When the soaping opera
tion is completed the dog is dropped
into the river and encouraged to get rid
OF the dirt and soap by a swim.
Sometimes the pet will swim straight
out, while the fair owner Is in agonies
Of fear lest some swiftly passing steam
er should strike it and end its bathing
and swimming days forever. On more
than one occasion the dog washer has
been driven to plunge in and rescue the
bewildered animal lest the infuriated
owner should claim compensation for
his carelessness. With some Parisien-
mes this weekly pet washing is cere-
mony Of Importance. The dainty lady,
alighting from her smart victoria, goes
down the steps to the washing place
chosen, preceded by her footman car
rying or leading the dog, as the case
may be, and then, seated under q sun
shade, she directs the toilet Of Fiji or
Nero with tender solicitude. The toilet

A fee of 5 francs cannot be consider
ed excessive for toilet" including 4
clipping, during which Fifi or Nero is
held firmly by the lady proprietress
of the Etablissement des Bains, while
her assistant uses the patent shears.
When all has been completed the vic
tim, wagging his tail with conscious
pride, proceeds to the carriage with his
proud and happy mistress, and drives
away in state, yelping at dogs less
aristocratic than he.

PROTEST oFTHe FINNs.
Refusal of Congregation to Listen to
IN Obnoxious Russian Law.

Refusal of Congregation to Listen to
IN Obnoxious Russian Law.
Many stories are coming out to show
the unrest prevailing in Finland in
consequence OF the virtual abrogation
by the Russian government of the con-
stitution guaranteeing the peculiar
rights and privileges of the Grand
Duchy. The people, although alarmed
for their national existence, are care
fully refraining from any disorders.
A protest in the form of petition
bearing the signatures of 100000 Fin
nish men and women-more than one
fifth of the total population-has been
sent to the Gear. who failed to pay
any attention to it. The ministers in
many parishes have refused to pro-
claim the new conscription law from
their, pulpits on account of its uncon-
stitutionality, and in other parishes
the reading OF the law has been inter-
rupted by the congregations.
A scene characteristic OF the tactics
of the Russian government as well as
of the temper of the people occurred
in a country church few Sundays
ago. The regular parish minister hav-
ing refused to read the obnoxious law,
although knowing that his refusal ex-
posed him to dismissal and punish
ment, the authorities prevailed on an
other and less scrupulous clergyman
to do the reading.
The moment the stranger appeared
in the pulpit, venerable old member
of the congregation rose.
I'VE will not listen to anything that
is Illegal" he announced. THAT act
has been passed in violation of the law
of the land"
The whole congregation then rose in
a body and marched out singing Lu-
theirs old hymn. "A Mighty Fortress is
Our God"

How the Physician became Known.

A west side physician has hit upon
a novel way Of attracting attention to
his Office and setting the tongues Of
gossips awagging. Recently he had
his house-a frame structure-painted
a most outlandish color. The shade
of the paint on the building proper is
bad enough, put the border and the
color with which he had the veranda
decorated are infinitely worse
The other day a neighboring drug

were commenting on the appearance Of
