PROFESSIONAL Ooe wAsAERs
Queer Trade to Be seen in Certain
Parts Of Paris.

Wide World Magazine. AS you walk
along certain parts Of Paris your Mt
tention is sometimes attracted by the
barking OF n dog, and OF such an oc-
cosion one Of the queerest of the out
door trades Of Paris Is seen. Near the
waters edge, his black Goa hecked
thickly with soap suds, stands the dog,
and over him, theoretically shampoo;
ing the soap into the long, hairy coat,
stands one of the professional dog
washers who haunt the banks of the
Seine at stated spots from the Point
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 3 sous
to a franc. When the sOaping opera
ton 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 Infatuated
owner should claim compensation FOR
his csrelessness. With some Parisien-
mes this weekly pet washing is a 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

A correspondent who offered prizes
in different schools for essays on kind
ness to animals sends us a few ex-
tracts from the papers received:
There are two kinds of animals, and
they are the quadruped and biped; the
q%uadruped is lions and tigers and such
like and the biped is birds"
Some people kick the poor dog and
give it ne food. Then the poor animal
bites the FIRST person it comes to, and
this causes the person to have idipho-
berry, and the animal gets killed. This
is all through the people giving the
animal nothing to eat"
Animals do not go to church nor
say any prayers. They W sit down
to get their meals, and we do"
When the animal dies 1t is no more
good except TOR food, but when we die
we have a resurrection "-Westminster
Gazette.

Properly Appreciated.

Senator OIark's Art Gem Was Not
Properly Appreciated.
Senator W.. A. Clark is an enthusiast
tic collector of paintings. especially Of
the nude. Not very many months ago
he received a number of friends at the
home of his daughter, Mrs. Culver, in
F~ifty-eighth street. Especially for that
occasion the senator had bought what
he declared a fine little piece of nude
art, daintily framed and set %conspicu-
ously on a mantel, so as to catch at
once the eye of any person entering the
room
The senator had personally picked
the spot where to place his new ac-
QUESTION and was not a little surprised
to find a short time afterward that a
huge bouquet of roses had been care
fully placed so as to hide the picture.
The owner of the picture removed
the bouquet, but within 10 minutes, as
he passed the spot to cast a loving
glance 1t his pet, there was the bou-
qnet again.
Twice more the operation was re-
peated- Then the senator decided to
lie in wait to catch the culprit- Before
long he discovered the miscreant in
the maid in waiting at the door.

Once. When Wayne MacVeagh had
finished arguing a tedious technical
case before the United States Supreme
Court. speculation arose between Mr..
MacYeagh and his colleague, as to
whom Chief Justice Fuller would as
sign to write the opinion, and a wager
was made.
Just then Chief Justice Fuller came
down the corridor of the court build
ing. Mr.. MacVeagh stopped him and
told him of the wager, asking the
Chief Justice to tell whom he would
assign, as that would settle the bet.
ION whom have you placed your
wager, Mr.. Macveagh?" the Chief JUS
tice asked.
"Mr Justice Gray" was the response.
why did you choose Mr.. Gray?'
queried Chief Justice Fuller.

The hand and eye OF the child can
be trained by means of paper cutting.
This should be led up to by paper

enough to hold a pair OF scissors. 1t
is a good practice to take a picture
containing many objects, cut them
out and arrange them on colOred pa
per. II the picture represents & farm
yard, for instance, all the animals
must be cut out and pasted on the

The readers OF this paper will be pleased to
learn that there is at least one dreaded disease
that science has been able to cure in all it's
stages, and that Is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh
Cure is the only positive cure now known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitu-
tional disease, requires a constitutional treat
ment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken internally,
acting directly upon the blood and mucous sur
faces OF the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the constitution and
assisting nature In doing its work. The pro-
prietors have so much faith In its curative
powers that they offer One Hundred Dollars for
any case that IL fails TO cure. Send for list OF

OLD WARNING REPEATED.
Farmers Cautioned To Beware of til,
sharper and Peddler.

Farmers are warned to beware of
the stranger who comes with any sort
of wares TO sell. This is the time of
the year when the oily tongued agent
strikes out into the country to make
"good thing" out of the farmers.
Schemes of many kinds are devised to
get at his pocket or secure his sigma
ture. We read every week of some
dodge in different parts of the coun-
try that has been worked successfully
and the farmer is the loser every time.
Everything the farmer needs can be
supplied by the local market where
he sells his grain, produce and stock.
Reliable and permanent business men
are there and competition is reason
ably keen to secure good goods at right
prices. The stranger who gulls you,
you will not be very likely to ever see
again, at least not If he can help it,
but the local merchant or agent is al
ways pleased to see the customer
come back even though he is return
ing a purchase which was not just
what was required. Bedding business
men make every reasonable effort to
please their customers and the farm
er should purchase of the dealer whom
he expects to meet again This adj
vice costs nothing but if taken may
be of value when the sharper calls,
and he will call.
