PET DOG WASHERS.
the Queer Trade That Flourfshes In
the French CAPITAL.


the French Capital.
AS you walk along certain parts of
Paris your attention is sometimes at
tracted by the barking of dog, and
on such an occasion one Of the queer
est Of the outdoor trades of Paris ia
seen. Near the waters edge, his black
coat fiecked thickly with soapsuds,
stands the dog, and over him, en-
ergetically shampooing 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 Pont d'Iena to the Pont Neuf.
These men lather and wash pet dogs
while their owners look on from con-
veniently placed chairs. The fees range
from sous to franc. When the soap
ing operation 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
steamer should strike it and end it's
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 COM
pensation for his carelessness. With
some Parisiennes this weekly pet
washing is ceremony of Importance.
The dainty lady, alighting from her
smart victoria, goes down the steps to
the washing place chosen, preceded by
her footman carrying or leading the
dog, as the case may be, and then,
seated under a sunshade, she directs
the toilet of Fiji or Nero with tender
solicitude. The toilet des chiens at the
fashionable spots includes warm, feecy
towels, peignoir de balm while the
dogs hair is being curled, combed,
singed or cut, and q length of ribbon of
q selected color to tie round its neck at
the finish.
A fee of 5 francs cannot be con-
sidered excessive for toilet includ-
ing clipping during which Fiji or Ne
no is held firmly by the lady proprie-
trsss of the Establishment des bains,
while her assistant uses the patent
shears. When all has been completed,
the victim. wagging his tail with con-
scious pride. proceeds to the carriage
with his proud and happy mistress and
drives away in state. yelping at dogs
less aristocratic than he.-Wide World

BUCKINGHAM WAS TAKEN.
They Had Him Sure Before Curtain
and Actor Went Down

They Had Him Sure Before Curtain
and Actor Went Down.
During the first year of my travels as
an actor | Joined a troupe that was
presenting Shakespearean tragedy. We
senting Shakespearean tragedy. We
were playing in one Of the provincial
cities of England when a new actor, an
inexperienced amateur, Joined the COM
pany and was assigned the role of
Catesby in which to make his debut in
the play of Richard the Third" Dur
ing the progress of the piece one of his
new lines is after quick entrance ad-
dressed to King Richard, and he says:
'My lord, the Duke of Buckingham
is takenp'
can remember that on the night of
his first appearance he was frightfully
nervous and was anxious to proclaim
the fact that the Duke of Buckingham
was taken, as he had been practicing
and studying it for several weeks. The
result was that he got the wrong cue
and made his entrance before time,
crying out:
"My lord. the Duke of Buckingham
is takenv'
Richard turned to him and in an I'M
dertone said: Get off Get off! You're
too soon.'
The actor left the stage mortified and
more ratified" than ever, so that
scarcely was he in the wings before he
again made the same mistake and
again proclaimed that the Duke of
Buckingham was taken. Richard turn
ed upon him for the second time and
told him to leave the stage He also
whispered, Somebody take care of
that idiot and tell him when to make
his entrance"
The prompter grabbed the actor by
the hand and when the proper time
came said; Now is your time Tell
Richard he's taken"
The actor rushed upon the stage, hes
itated, looked at Richard and then in a
wild tone of voice exclaimed:
1--WE have him, by heaven, and we
have him surew
believe the curtain went down, and,
If l remember rightly, the curtain was
not the only thing that went down..

Take care of the stomach and the health
will take care of itself If people only
realized the soundness of that statement
the majority might live to good old age
like Moses, 'the eye undimmed, the
natural force undated I" 1t is in the
stomach that the blood is made 1t is
from the stomach that nourishment is dis
pensed to nerve and muscle. If the stom-
ach is weak" it can't do it's whole work
for each part of the body. If is diseased
the disease will faint the nourishment
which is distributed, and so spread dis
ease throughout the body. 1t was the
realization of the importance of the stom-
ach as the very center of health and the
common source of disease, which led Dr.
Pierce to prepare his Golden Medical
Discovery" Diseases which originate in
the stomach must be cured through the
stomach" The soundness of this theory
is proved every day by cures of diseased
organs, heat, liver, lungs, blood, by the
use Of the Discovery" which is solely and
singly medicine for the blood and organs
of digestion and nutrition. 1t is a temper
ance medicine containing no alcohol,
whisky or other intoxicant.

The Wrong Way.

Fathers and mothers who do not know
how and where their sons and especial
ly their young daughters spend their
evenings are guilty of negligence that
Is little short of criminal and that, too,
often leads to sad consequences. The
American habit of letting the young
folks ''have their own way" in choos-
ing their associates and methods of re-
creation is responsible in every city for
a good deal of evil that might be pre-
vented by parental firmness judiciously
exercised.-Philadel Bulletin.
