INSTRUCTORS FOR DOGS.
AristOcratic CANNES Must Now Have
GOvernesses to Give Them
Special Lessons.

What next? The dogs who walk in the
best tailor-made attire, and whose fam
lily trees are usually far more genuine
and impressive than those of their own
ers, now have their own g~overness. In
winter she lives in New York; in sum-
mer she follows her charges to a ia
nous and fashionable seaside resort.
She is paid by the hour to come to the
house of Fido's adoring mistress and
broaden Fido's mental horizon and de-
velop his latent genius. She teaches the
dear little fellow to sit up and bark and
sneeze and beg for sugar plums; to turn
s-omersaults; to shake hands and faint,
and otherwise prove his claim to an in
tellect OF no mean order.
Furthermore, the g%oyerness takes
Fido walking every day. His mistress
is often too busy or too tired to accom-
pany him during his hours Of exercise.
She does not trust her servants with
the duty of serving as his escort, so the
governess is paid to accompany the
little dear during his walks abroad. Her
business is to keep him amused and
guard him from low company.
Last winter the g~overness tutored
nor than 80 dogs. At a certain hour
every morning she takes ten or IL pro-
teges out on their leashes.. She keeps
h peace among them, sees that they
have a good scamper and a roll on clean
grass, teaches them to swim, fetch and
carry, and guards against their con-
tact with curs that might infect them
with mango, distemper OF rabies.

near when the apparatus is to go, he is
always ready for the run. He is not
foolish enough to run in front of the
horses but usually keeps to the side of
the engine. No matter how many other
pieces of apparatus there may be at a
fire he can always pick out his own, and
when the fire is out usually rides home
on the drivers seat. At times he seems
to want to help his friends in the work
of extinguishing the flames, and rushes
with them into burning houses without
a sign of fear. 1t is related that at a fire
in an uptown residence recently it was
feared that someone was asleep in the
upstairs rooms and two men were sent
to investigate. The smoke was very
dense and they were crawling along the
floor of a hallway holding their faces
close to the floor to get the purest air,
when one of them felt something brush
against him from behind, and then a
dogs sneeze was heard, and it turned out
to be Mig, who was evidently concerned
lest they venture into too great danger.
He will do anything his comrades ask
of him if it is within the possibility OF
accomplishment by a dog, and indeed
might even attempt the impossible.
The photo shows him climbing a lamp
post after a rag which one of the men
fastened up there and ordered him to
fetch down.-Washington Star.

FLEEING FROM FRIENDS.
Restraints and Commands often Con.
tain blessings which Are Lost
by Our Continual Channg.

Much is lost through ignorance. Lack
Q possible friend. Often do we turn
away from real sources Of help and
o mines of riches, just because we
do not know that help and riches are
at our side or beneath our feet. For
years a poor man made a meager liv-
ing on a stony farm In the northern
part of New York. But riches came
flowing into his hand when he was
made acquainted with the character OF
the great lodges that peeped from the
soil and turned the point of his plow.
Lodges of splendid granite were
friends that had been looking up al
him, but it vas years before he came
to know them.
Many a young person, says Phila-
delphia Young People, frowns, frets
and fights, where knowledge would
bring smiles of glad peace. Re-
straints are rebelled against. Who lis
tens to commands as to friends? Who
thinks of obedience as other than trial
and burden? There is rebellion against
a fixed word and a definite way. But
clares that commands or laws come to
tighten Jul ignorance and to give larg-
err views Of our surroundings and OPP
portunities. Commands and laws are
splendid teachers.
Commands are more than this. The
other side of every command is a
promise. 1t always has something to
bestow after obedience has been rem
dered. He who in right spirit obeys a
command always gets something for
himself hat could not have come to
him without hat obedience. Obedi-
ence is too often thought of as some
thing given to another, but it is
thing given to self as well.
The seed in your hand is g. COM
mand while you hold it. Sown. j. is a
promise. In your hand it says: Sow
me! Sow mel" In the soil it turns with
the cry: Il will give you! l will give
you!" But this is promise. 1t does
give. 1t gives either added quantity
or added quality. Sometimes it gives
both. The corn of wheat dropped into
the soil returns in like kind a larger.
quantity. thirty, sixty or an hundred
fold. The flower seed gives you color,
beauty, fragrance. This is quality OF
higher kind. Often the flower gives
you the handful of seed besides.
Young people make a grave mistake
when they rebel against command
ments of either God or man. The COM
mandment that has a right to our ODE
dience lever robs us, nor can it dc
SO. 1t always has something to give.
The commandment may seem like ar
ugly ledge in our farm land, but closer
acquaintance will our wealth.
We fee from friends when we avoid
restraint or command.

AS one looks round upon the COM
munity to-day, how clear the problem
of hundreds of unhappy lives appears.
Do we not all know men for whom it is
Just as clear as daylight that that is
what they need, the sacrifice of them
selves for other people? Rich men who
with all their wealth are weary and
wretched; learned men whose learning

GUS; believing men whose faith is al
ways souring into bigotry and envy
every man knows what these men need;
Just something which shall make them

The Adage Held Good.

Judge Cox, of the United States cir
cult court, while delivering a lecture
at Columbia university, told of a young
lawyer who came before the supreme
court to argue a case in which he was
also defendant. Addressing the court,
he referred to the old French adage de-
claring that he who argues his own case
has a fool for a client. After the case
had been heard he left for his home In
st. Louis, asking a friend to notify him
by wire when the decision was handed
down. This was the pithy dispatch he
received: "Old French adage aflrmed."

HOW TO CLEAN EGGS.
Neat and Attractive Appearance Aida
Materially to the Poultry
mans Income.

The proper cleaning and sorting Of the
egg crop, so that it will have a neat and
attractive appearance will add much to
it's selling qualities. Like everything
else there is a best way for doing this.
A New Jersey Poultryman says:
Eggs all of one color and perfectly
clean make an attractive appearance
and will readily bring several cents
more per dozen than a dirty lot, par
ticularly when quality goes with ap-
pearauce; and the one is generally an
indication Of the other. An.egg is i'm
properly cleaned when it is wet too
much and not rubbed dry with a dry
cloth. Some when they see spots of
dirt on eggs put them in a pan of water
and wash them like potatoes. There is.
on the freshly laid egg, a mucilaginous
covering which gives 1t a velvety ap-
pearance peculiar to new eggs. Water
remove this, making the egg have an
older appearance, and destroys its keep
ing qualities, as this covering makes the
shell impervious to air. An egg, then, II
it is not much soiled, should merely be
moistened where necessary and rubbed
dry. II the blemish is in the nature of
a stain, a little powdered securing brick
will help, and If this is not effective Vine
gar may be used in addition. In this way
any stains may be removed from an egg.
Sometimes they have to be put in water,
but do not do it unless it is necessary and
then rub dry afterwards. If this is not
done they will look soiled and dingy.
Eggs should be collected three or more
times q day.

The platform, G, is hinged at the
point, T, so that the slope, R can be
raised or lowered at will by the cord, N.
1t is supported, when raised, by the
spring, s. 1t is important to have the
slope inside, rather than outside the
brooder door. When inside, the chicks
are invited by the open door, and when
in, they usually find their way up the
slope to the pen; but II the slope is out
side they may fail to find the entrance,
and be chilled before they can do so.
The raising Of the slope makes a double
floor space and gives plenty of room for
the chicks inside when the weather is
too bad to let them out. This form OF
brooder gives constant circulation Of
warm, pure air; dries all droppings and
renders them inoffensive; avoids all
danger of crushing or ~crowding, and is
in every way reliable.-C. E. Beare, in

FINISHING THINGS.
We Are Too Prone to Leave IpcOm-
plete the Work We Have Begun
The Steady Push.

1t is only unto him who finishes the
course, who runs to the end, that the
crown of life will be given. But the
saying is of much wider application
than we commonly accept. There is a
sense in which it is true here below
as well as yonder, above" The half
finished house which Jesus saw, which
may have furnished Him with His par
able of the man who began to build and
was not able to finish, stands for large
meaning to every age, and never more
suggestive than to the present day.
What a b~ewildering list of things be-
~gun-which have never been finished.
The patent Office has more designs
which represent beginnings than COM
pleted tasks. Here is a man who has
a new scheme every time he meets you.
He is as tickle as Col. Sellers, of Asiatic
eye-water fame. His plans scarcely get
cold, but what he discards them, and he
has something else to show you. He
seems to cosider that his genius is in
dreaming out new schemes, and it must
be admitted that he fairly shines with
them; a new star rises in his sky with
every passing day. He has given his
attention to the discovery of new
things, leaving him no, time for the
working out of any of them. He cannot
stand the steady push to a finish"
You can tell by his step and movement
that he will never do a great thing be-
cause he is bothered by SO many little
things. This vitiated taste for variety
has almost proved the ruin of much
well-meant service in the kingdom of
God. A man gets On the track of novel
ty, and never runs far with anything.
the outcome being that his novelties
pail on the taste, and he has nothing
left with which to tickle the depraved
public appetite. Would it not be better
to take fewer things and move them on
to completion? There is the genius OF
novelty, but it does not belong in the
same catalogue with the genius of hard,
steady, patient plodding-until the end
is in sight. Amiel said, THAT which
