This Dog Can Use Telephone. Ir,.nr.n hn A

From the Albany Journal
 A certain officer of an Albany corpora tion owns a pet Skye terrier dog named Rags. ' It is a, very intelligent animal, as all who know the dog will admit. for 1t not only reads signs of certain class of beer, but when the o'clock bell rings at night 1t will manage in some way to awaken it's master and lead the way to a place where that particular beer is drawn-of course, the dog wants the beer, not the master.
 This famous dog, so the master says, was locked up one day in the room oc- cupied by the master during the winter, and was forgotten. The telephone in the room and it's use had been carefully studied by Rags After being alone about ten hours, that dog, hungry. thirsty and disgusted in some way managed to ring up central and the operator hearing three distinct barks coming rom ,nat tele- phone knew what number was wanted and the number was called. Immediately upon lifting the receiver the master rec ognized the voice of his pet and remem- bering that the poor thing had been locked up all day. he instantly called tl< boarding house and had the chamber maid liberate Rags. and in a few mo- ments those two companions were united In the office of the officer and the dog broke it's fast of ten hours or over.

Whatever fame may attach to the ad- ministration of President Roosevelt, cer- tainly the name of Mrs Roosevelt will pass into history as the creator of new fashion--the Mrs. Roosevelt Dinner Jacket" To invent a new accessory in the evening toilette of womankind which shall meet the requirem ents and the ap- proval of fashionable women the world over, Is indeed, no small achievement,
 Mrs Roosevelt has concentrated the brains of the great dressmakers of the world on her new suggestion. The Mrs. Roosevelt Dinner Jacket has already assumed definite form. There Is on this page a drawing made from a finished Jacket just completed for Washing ton woman. And we are also able to re- produce the designs already worked out for expected customers by Worth, Red fern, Raudnitz and many others. This new Twentieth Century garment prom tses great variety and no little ingenuity.
 The dinner jacket Is the sensation of the hour in the world of fashion. It Is creat- ing discussion among the best dressmak-

Lewis Nixon's Romance.

The New York Herald. speaking of MT. Lewis Nixon. the new head of Tammany Hall, says there was quite a romance in his marriage, which took place twelve years ago. MT. Nixon is the builder or designer of many of the ships of the navy. His wife was before marriage Miss Sallie Wood. and was born in Florida, but later transplanted to Washington. It was at a ball at Annapolis, where MT Nixon was a naval cadet, that they first met, and one of the things Mrs. Nixon then Miss Wood-told to MT. Nixon on that evening was that she thought the government ought to name one of It's vessels for her native state of Florida MT. Nixon said that 1t should be done, even If he had to build the boat himself The promise made that night came true last year when on November 30 a moni- tor was launched at the Nixon shipyard and christen Florida by Mrs. Nixon herself.

as possible. The floral decorations make this a necessity. In Washington at the state dinners when the guests enter the dining room they are apt to find the air very little above the freezing point. The reason for this is that 1t is de rigueur that the Ambassadors and the diplomatic corps as well as the officers of the army and navy shall attend the formal dinners and receptions arrayed in their full uni- forms This means a coat nearly an inch thick. heavy with its padding and gold bullion embroidery, and collar very high and thick.
 It is plain to sec that if the room were not chilled 1t would be feast of torture rather than anything else to these gentle IT an. The temperature, however, is al- ways lowered, and while the room is thus made comfortable to the men present. it is decidedly and dangerously uncomforta- be to the women, who are gowned in the regulation evening dress.
 Of course, they will not dispense with

CTS of Europe and America
 It is something entirely new
 It has solved the question of how to be comfortable though decollete.
 And 1t originated with Mrs. Roosevelt, the first lady of the land.
 Society women have long felt the need of some sort of a light wrap to protect the neck and shoulders from draughts when attending formal dinner in room insufficiently heated. On many occasions they have suffered martyrdom in their lowcut gowns.
 In fact many a state dinner has lacked geniality on account of the cold should CTS turned on the men.
 Now all this is to be changed. Mrs. Roosevelt and the ladies of what is known in Washington as the Ladies' Cabinet, have decided to wear with their decollete dinner gowns a dinner jacket.
 At a formal dinner it is essential to keep the temperature of the room as low

but not jacket with sleeves; while Mrs. Howard, of White. Howard & Co.,. New York simply does not believe at all in the idea of dinner jacket unless as a wrap for the woman who is not very strong and who is always an easy prey to the slightest draught or change of tempera- ture.
 There is no denying that the dinner jacket is interesting.
 It would be so, if for no other reason than the fact that it Is a decided inno- vation in woman's dress.
 It Is not only a common sense idea but one which may be developed into a thing of beauty and artistic merit. It will be welcomed as a blessing by the women who has suffered in her decollete gown from draughts and cold rooms

CHICAGo's STREET ART.

Chicago is paying some attention to the aesthetic side of civic life, and an ordinance has been passed by which
 unsightly street stands are to be re-
 moved, although in this case the ob- lection appears to be based as much upon the obstructive as upon the inar- tistic qualities of the vendors head quarters. The hardship worked hy this ordinance upon a certain class of labor is likely to produce much agi- tation in favor of restoration of the privileges, and out of it have already arisen suggestions looking toward the Identification of the public highways. one writer with an amusing sense of the picturesque" thinks the fruit and flower vendors should be permitted to
 resume their interrupted trade. be- cause the decorative qualities or pyra- mldS or oranges and punches of f1oE- CTS along the curb are not to be de- spised; while another with more practical idea of the necessities of the case, meets the suggestion that the city take leaf out of the book of Parls, and secure a design of artistic value for kiosk in which the legit; mate street trades could be carried on With proper protection from the weather and without obstruction of the highways. The latter suggestion IS not at all a bad one for Chicago or for the New York Municipal Arr coal- mission to consider.
 The kiosk system has worked well Ill Paris, and there appears to be no valid reason why it should not be adopted in this country The push cart man and the corner stand for newspapers, the street florist and the Irult yender have all of them be- come so much q part of our life that they may be said to be institutional. They represent an industry in which slncere and honest labor is inyoIya.1. ana any effort looking toward tha;r control should be rather in the lines or eliminating their potentialities for nuisance while conserving their right 10 make living commensurate to their ends and usefulness to the public, than ln the directian of suppression. To abolish their privileges wholly would work injustice to thousands whose only means of livelihood they are Bnt to insist upon their being so housed and fixed as to neither offend tho eve nor interfere with other busy way farers is commendable. The subject is worthy of the joint consideration of the municipal authorities, legislative and art.-Hatper's Weekly.

FOR UNRULY PUPILS.

The ancient Roman schoolmaster whip whose lash was studded with steel beads which never failed to leave q long-lasting impression both upon body and memory.
 In China, Persia and Turkey the am cient ''bastinado" is applied even 70 this day. This instrument is either lath, paddle or stick of bamboo. With it continued blows are struck upon the bare soles of the feet, until very often the blood issues from be- meath the nails of the toes.
 In Germany there used to be in each city a functionary dubbed the ''blue man, whose sole duty was to go from school to school and fog whatso- ever bad children needed corporal punishment. He wore q mask and blue coat. but none of his victims ever fathomed his personality. Needless to say the mere mention of his name caused all little German girls and tremble in their boots.
 Corporal punishment is still allowed in all German schools for boys. Every man and boy of the kaiser's realm knows well the meaning of the words .snaught. comma i've" written s'O,5." !" In the fatherland this dread formula stands for half meter. The meter is the standard measure of Germany, as it will probably be in this country before long, and the comma, instead of the period, is used by mathematicians of that country to indicate the decimal. The "0,5,' therefore, is a half-meter stick. It is the scepter wielded by the master of every German school, both for discipline and actual measurement.
 In Germany the school dungeon is even now stern reality. The typical prison of the category has an iron grated window, small stove, two wood- en chairs. two oak tables and a narrow wooden bedstead. The entering he pays about 20 cents; on leaving a simi- lar sum. Every day in prison costs him 12 cents; fire and light 12 cents extra Even then he must pay his jail CT for coffee. Meals may be ordered from outside. Every prisoner must leave his visiting card as a contribu- ton to the archives of the institution. The walls. of these prisons are filled with inscriptions scralled by miscre- ants. Tn the celebrated "Carcer" at Heidelberg academic dungeon a visitor late read these words: "R.

CURIOUS HUMAN COMBINATION.

I had an amusing experience tie other day, which convinced me that one cannot always depend upon names and appearances said q bureau chicf in one of the government departments.
 Being in need of a new clerk who spoke German, I requested that one be supplied me, stating that I preferred a clerk of German extraction, as the work I had for him to do required q good knowledge of that language. The following day the messenger entered my room and informed me that the new clerk was in the ante-room.
 '''What is his nameY l asked.
 .''Patrick SDelahanty, was the re- ply.
 $ s'.Why, I want German, not an Irishman,' said
 Ss'Well, sir the messenger answer ed, with a peculiar expression, that was the name he gave me.
 T told the messenger to show the new clerk in. Imagine my amazement when in walked a man whose color can. He smiled and waited for me to recover my breath and speech.
 "'Is your name Patrick Delehanty?' I asked
 "'Yes, sir

This explains the incongrui- ty of colored man having such de- cidedly Irish patronymic as my own.
