 What are their names. Crawford" I asked, thinking I had misunderstood.
 :" Cocoa replied Crawford
 " But there are two, l reminded him.
 /" One does for both. replied the old man. They're always together-come and go at the same time. And, anyhow. I'm not going to worry myself into a decline by thinking up dogs names.

THE TALK OF ALIENS.
Amusing Attempts of Foreigners ts Express Themselves in Our
 Language.

Baron Mikosch, the Hungarian nobleman who became famous throughout Europe by his endless series of blunders, was prouder per haps, of his knowledge of English than of any other accomplishment, says the Philadelphia Times. That he did not speak the language with ab- | solute perfection never seemed to oc- eur to him, any more than the fact that unusual and unceremonious methods of saying things might strike English men and Americans as ridiculous. This, perhaps, was not to be wondered at, seeing that part of his knowledge, at least, had been acquired from the theoretically spelled pages of Josh Billings works, which an American wag to whom he had appealed for guidance in English literature had pre- sented to him. Thereafter it was inn possible to persuade the baron that American" was not language dis tinct from that spoken in the British isles.
 Although unwilling to admit the possibility that his mastery of Eng fish at the moment was not complete, the baron most illogically was open to fiattery on his progress ill the lan- guage.
 "Oh, yes" he said on one occasion when complimented on his linguistic improvement, T have made great for ward steps. Last year l would have said: I go by party, but now must say: go at party"
 On another occasion the baron was the recipient of a favor from an Eng fish lady, for which he expressed the most profuse thanks.
 "Oh, please don't mention it, baron!" said the lady, overwhelmed by his gratitude.
 No, madam, I won't" he replied in a confidential whisper The most noteworthy manifestation, however, of the baron's tendency to interpret English in it's most literal sense was on the occasion of a formal call which he paid an American girl in Munich.
 Goodnight, baron,' said the young lady as he was leaving. Do come soon again"
 II shall, indeed" said the Hungarian, and, having passed two hours in a nearby restaurant, he then returned to keep his promise.
 As the possesser of a garden of con siderable extent in Vienna. the baron found himself molested by trespass- CTS, and in order to check the evil he prepared polyglot notice to the ef- feet that trespassing was forbidden. The English portion of the notice read as follows:
 "This ground is private. You will please keep out immediately"

The oval Sun.

One of the astronomers at the Brus- sels observatory has taken several ex- eellent large-size photographs of the
 sun when near it's setting that show very distinctly the oval appearance it some times has al that hour. Every body is familiar with the fact that the sun appears larger when near the
 horizon than when several degrees above it; but few persons, perhaps, have noticed that 1t often assumes an oval shape. This is due to the rapid change in the refractive action of the air near the horizon, by which the lower edge of the sun seems to be lifted with reference to the upper edge, giving the disk the appearance of being compressed. In one of the photographs referred to the oval shape is very noticeable, the ratio of the vertical to the horizontal diameter being as 75 to Scientific American.

Captain o. Bertoletto of the Italian Barque 'Lincelles," in a recent letter from the chief office of the Italian Barque Lincelles, Pensacola, Fla. writes:

 In catarrh of the stomach, as we'll as catarrh of any part of the body, Peruna is the remedy. As has been often said if Peruna will cure catarrh of one part, it will cure catarrh of any other part of the body.
 Catarrh is catarrh wherever located, and the remedy that will cure it any where will cure it everywhere.

have given me almost complete relief, and l am sure that continuation of them will effect permanent cure. Pe- runa is surely wonderful remedy for catarrhal affections-J. D. Botlxin.
 This is ease of ca tarrh of the stomach which had run for twenty-five years, according to his statement, and Peruna has at once come to his relief, promptly accomplishing for him more benefit than he had been able to find in all other remedies during quarter of a century.
 It stands to reason that a man of wealth and influence, like a Congress. man of the great United States, has left no ordinary means untried and no stone unturned to find cure.
 If such cures as these do not verify the claim not only that dyspepsia is due to catarrh of the stomach, but also that Peruna will cure catarrh of the stom- ach, it is impossible to imagine how any evidence could do so.
 If you do not derive prompt and satis- factory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case, and he will be pleased to give you his valuable ad- vice gratis.

WORKERS WHO NEVER STRIKE
Gratifying Facts Brought Out by . Survey of the Ranks of the In
 dustrious in America

In these days of unparalleled pros. perity and strikes 1t is a soothing re- fiection that the majority of Amer ican workers never have gone on strike, and probably never will.
 A survey of the national works shop, so to speak, discloses the fact that, in eluding men, women and minors, near ly 32,0o0,0 ,0o0 persons are daily at work in it-less the number of those tempo rarily on strike. Of this grand total 15,000, ,090 only, considerably less than one-half. are employed in the indus tries that are subject to strikes and lockouts.
 Here, then. is the gratifying fact that 17.ooo,000 workers in these United States always keep working. Included in this great standing army of indus trious people who never quit their jobs are the farmers and their help, about 9,0o0,00o strong. The people at work on American farms. comprising nearly one-half of the adult labor of the country, have never gone on strike; the idea has never even been mooted among them, states the New York World.
 Besides our farmers there are over 1000. 900 Americans classified as pro fessional rkers-aetors, authors, artists, clergymen, lawyers and doc tors, none of whom ever strike. Then there are about 100000 teachers in the country, two-thirds of them women, who work year in and year out in striking communities. Next come our domestic and personal and public serv- ants, about 5.00000o of them. inelud- ing our soldiers and sailors; they also belong to the non-striking ma jority.
 It is strictly to the workers in man. ufacturing and mechanical industries and in trade and transportation. az gregating a grand total of 15,000,000 persons. that strikes and lockouts are confined. But from this total many further deductions must be made. be- cause it includes the COG, ,000 clerks and bookkeepers, the 60,000 commercial travellers, the 2C9.000 real estate and commission agents. the 500. GOO wh ole sale and retail merchants. the 15.000 stenographers and the 35,00O bankers and brokers, all of whom are outside the strike zone. Returns covering long period of years show that the to- tai number of persons who go on strike or are locked out averages 31400o an- nually. In short, nearly two-thirds of all the working people of the eoun- try are steady. continuous workers, who "saw wood and say nothing.a and of the other one-third only small fraction stops working at any one time
