Can This Dog Count2
Providence Journal.

From the Providence Journal.
Residents in the vicinity of OlneyviIle
Square have been hearing wonderful tales
recently of a dog that is owned by one of
the occupants OF a boarding house near the
corner Of Bough street and OlneyyilIe
Square. Even the firemen connected with
Engine Company IA have been convinced
thar this dog can count a fire alarm and
start for the fire. Yet there are some
doubling persons who will discredit the
story.
Whether or not the dog is really equal
10 the reputation that it has acquired, II
IS an observed fact that when the fire alarm
rings There Is a bell In that vicinity the
dog will prick up its ears and go through
motions that give every indication that 1t
IS counting the number of the box.
When the count is finished the dog will
start at something liveIier than a dog trot
In one of the several directions. There are
not attidavits that Il always runs in the
direction of the fire, but there are some
persons VINO believe that even that Is a.
aact Nevertheless. the dog has several
routes which IL follows alternately as the
dre bell rings. Sometimes it runs I'D Man.
ton avenue. Sometimes II is up PlainfieId
sIeet, and sometimes II is down Broadway
The animal is brindle bull dog, and Is a
great faYorite among the fremen because
pf its apparent interest In the department
Some persons who have heard the stories
have doubted their truth and have watched
for the animal when the bell rang and
bach time that 1t was in hearing Of the bell
" started on race against time.

Coffee Cigarettes.

From the New York Times.
A custom which Is said to owe It's incep-
ton to the Jockey Club is now rapidly gain
ing headway in Partisan society, particu-
larly In the circle of the Faubourg St. Ger
main. This Is the consumption of cigar
cites made from coffee leaves dried and
presented in forms similar to those of the
tobacco Of commerce. Coffee-leaf smoking
is said to be not only perfectly harmless
but to possess the property, deemed by the
inventors an unquestionable advantage, of
imparting to those who practice it an in
tense and lasting dislike for the flavor OF
tobacco.
The hygienic cigarette Is declared by
smokers TO draw satisfactorily, and it can
be smoked with comfort, If not with in
tense delight. to the end. The scent and
favor are sui generis. though vaguely re-
minding one of some Belgian tobaccos. The
owner of the chemists shop where the cof-
fee-leaf cigarettes are to be had says that
there is quite run upon them and that he
has some difficulty in keeping abreast with
the demand. The fact that the new smoke
is chiefly favored by women, however, hard
ly points to the conclusion that the most
abject slaves Of my lady nicotine have
yet entirely fulfilled the expectations of the
inventors by welcoming thankfully the cof-
fee cigarette as an instrument of deliver
ance from their bondage.

Ethics Of Consultations.
rom the Medical Record.

From the Medical Record.
The utility of consultations has often been
questioned on the score that they mean lit
tie or nothing for the patient. The practi-
toner in a difficult case is supposed to need
Endorsement for his course, and he is said to
obtain It in the unqualifiedly approving YER
dict of his counselor. 1t Is further claimed
that the true ethics of the profession admit
of no other alternative.
From the patients standpoint this Is true
enough, and is as 1t should be in view of the
necessity of preserving confidence in the
medical attendant. The consultants have
on the other hand. every opportunity to
differ in their private conference; bit I. g
obviously unnecessary to do so in the pres.
ence of the family Any disagreement that
may exist as to diagnosis and treatment
should be suitably adjusted before a con-
joint verdict is rendered. If this course is
impossible each one concerned should give
a separate opinion and allow the patient
or his friends either to choose what suits
them best or seek other advice. Under no
circumstances should such different views
be offered until after the freest possible
interchange of views in the secrecy OF the
consulting room.

BRAZILIAN AVOCADOS.
Increasing Popularity Of the Alligator
Pear.

From the New York Post
The increasing popularity Of the avocado
or alligator pear has brought the Brazilian
variety into great prominence Of late. AS
matter of fact, the fruit is not a pear at
all, but belongs to the laurel family. The
chief authority on the subject is pic
turesque West Indian who imports these
exotic dainties, and who is an enthusiast on
the subject.
1.-The avocado" he said, rs food and medI-
cine. as well as refreshment. When nature
made it she intended it as the highest de-
velopment of the vegetable world. It Is
delicious but not cloying. 1t has It's own
characteristics, but will gratefully accept
all other favors. For this reason it is the
only fruit which can be eaten plain, with
pepper and salt, with lemon juice and sugar
with sherry or madeira wine or with salad
dressing. New Engianders have made 1t
into successful pie. which, to be candid
/ do not recommend, because I think pies
are barbarous; and Brazilian cooks convert
1t into a marvellous custard pudding. The
popularity OF the pulp is that it contains
large amount Of fixed oil, which gives it
nutritive value superior to the olive and
the peanut and makes 1t almost equal to the
egg.
Though a stranger in New York, 1t is
known and loved in every tropical and sub
tropical city. 1t is grown in the West In
dies, Central and South America, Hawaii
the far east, northern. eastern and west
ern Africa. Some enterprising Frenchmen
have small orchard not far from Palm
Beach, on the Florida coast and in southern
California there are hundreds of trees now
bearing The finest variety Is not the Mex
lean or Venezuelan, or even the Chinese, as
Is claimed by travellers, but the Brazilian,
and of these the very best comes from the
Island of Marajo, at the mouth of the ANA
zon, just opposite to Para. The fruit is of a
lustrous. almost vitreous green. The skin
1s very tough. rather than hard, so much
80 that 1t should be cut with a sharp steel
knife"
