THE QUEEN AND THE DOG.
Famous Performing Animal That
Took the Fancy of EngIand's
First Lady.

Queen Alexandra is devotedly fond OF
dogs, and has had all sorts, sizes and
breeds. She possesses great skill in
training them, and the pets which she
has about her are all capable of wonder
full tricks, says st. James Gazette. But
there was one dog upon which her ma
jesty confesses that in vain she used to
cast longing eyes. 1t was famous per-
forming dog named 'Minos," and it was
the rage of a society entertainer. Invita-
ton cards at great London houses used
to bear the strange announcement, ITO
meet the dog Minos." The following
story of this remarkable creature is often
told by her majesty: Upon one oc-
casion, when hidden to carry a hand
herchief to the most beautiful lady in
the room, the rascally courtier sprang
up to Queen Victoria, and laid it at her
feet. Her majesty laughed merrily.
fiicked the dog in the face with her own
handkerchief, and babe him do his duty
honestly. Thereupon the dog picked up
his handkerchief, and, in great humility.
approached our present queen, lay down.
and placed the handkerchief before her.

IMPoLITENESS OF MEN.
Lack of Home Training Is often Re
spOnsibIe for Rudeness
in Public.

For the prevalence Of smoking in pub
lie places women have only themselves
to blame, says Mrs Russell Sage, in an
interview. They are willing to drive
and walk with men while they smoke;
they even permit men TO smoke while
dining with them at public restaurants.
and at length men feel dreadfully abused
if they are required to desist from smok-
ing for an hour or so. A man can drink
without interfering with the comfort
of others, but the smoker makes his
presence felt all over the room"
DO you think men were once more
considerate and COURTHOUSE"
Il know they were. Such a state of
affairs was unknown among people with
any claim whatever to refinement The
American woman must come to the res
cue-and she will-she will The
American woman is the purest, highest,
finest product of civilization thus far,
but do think she is making a serious
mistake in encouraging the ubiquitous
smoker"
What led her into that error?"
Il think she grasped the fact that
men and women spend their lives too
far apart and they should be comrades.
In that she is right, but she has not re-
allied that they must be comrades on
the highest level attainable and that
she can bring man up only by maintain
ing a very high standard herself So
long as she tolerates and condones rude
ness and reconsideration, men will be
rude and inconsiderate. AS soon as
she insists upon courtesy they will be
courteous"
do you think home training or, rath-
er, the lack Of it, is responsible for mod
ern impoliteness?"
II do, indeed. Many people leave their
children almost entirely to servants
and consequently the little ones imbibe
their manners and culture from the do
mestics. Many of our young men and
women who have attended school and
college, who have attained an enviable
amount of brain culture, are almost des-
titute of courtesy. Fix well thy center,
then draw thy circle round, has been
a pet motto of mine for many years.
Unless we have definite center the
circle with exceeding care, that her
circle is sure to be faulty. The American
ing care, that her circle may include all
noble tendencies and exclude all base
ones, in the citizens Of America"

THE TOWN OF TUMUT.
LecotiO and Interesting Features of
the Proposed Capital of
Australia.

Tumut, to a degree rare in Australian
townships, presents fresh, bright green
picture even in the hottest seasons
marked in other parts by drought and
burnt-up vegetation. This boon it owes
to its river, which, more constant than
most rivers "out west" whose summer
tendency is toward DISAPPEARANCE, never
fails in It's supplies, says the London
Spectator. Naturally, agriculture is the
best paying industry of the district,
maize and tobacco forming the chief
crops, the excellence of the former be-
Ing such as to make its market price
take permanent place at the top of the
list. To this unfailing fertility also is
due the fact that stock from other parts
OF the state is sent to Craze at Tumut in
time of drought
The township itself, although not i'm
posing-its present population is only
some 1,3O0-is picturesque. 1t lies on a
hillside, its main street sloping toward
the river, which is at that point crossed
by pretty wooden bridge. The view by
the river is quaint and peaceful, and were
1t not for some giant gum trees that form
a background to the willows by the edge
of the river, the scene might be taken for
a glimpse of the old country. The
"homelike" effect is heightened by the
hedges of briar bush, backed by rows of
poplars. The Australian touch is seen
when with the briar mingles the acacia
the golden-tufted waffle" emblem of
the commonwealth-which in springtime
sets the countryside aglow.
Tumut was founded as a gold mining
center. and for that reason started on
It's career with a plethora Of banks. In
the present quiet of its bucolic existence,
however, four banks are sufficient Half
a dozen stores, ten hotels, four churches
and two schools. a fine post office and a
school of arts make the grand total of
its larger buildings. The houses are of
the bungalow type, crowned by CORFU
gated iron roofs, and having verandas
the length and depth of which are in d.
rect proportion to the social status of
their indwellers. Owing to its elevation
1T lies on the northern slope of the
Kosciuskan group, the eliminating point
of the Australian continent-Tumut en-
joys a cool climate. This is reflected in
its fruits which range from all the Eng
fish berries to the subtropic produces
peaches, grapes and passion fruit. It's
Isolation from the main streams of IN

Twenty miles, covered daily by the mail
coach, separate 1t from the nearest rail-
way terminus, so from the nearest juno
ton on the Sydney to Melbourne route.
Its position is, however, curiously CEN

and Melbourne and lies equidistant from
Adelaide and Brisbane, thus command

Never shall l forget" said a pros
porous man, how my first chance to
get on in life came to me. One sum-
mer day when | was II, was walk
ing along a rough country road on nv
way to the nearest little town to buy
a pair of shoes. In my hand was jing-
ling 81, and it had been earned slowly

our neighborhood farmers, who had

he carried rough splint basket home
made-and it was filed with children's
shoes. We stopped to talk, as country
people always do, and he noticed the
81 in my hand. l confided my ambi-
lions to him.
Joseph he said, I'll sell you this
basket of shoes for your 81. You are
younger and spryer than I am-you
can go around the farms and sell all
these little shoes at SO cents a pair

him far beyond the pale of sensuous

How maryelously alike. For two days
the latter dominated, and when at
length he awoke he was without
knowledge of his wrongs. Somewhere
in that deathless sleep he had left the
record of his blighted hopes. Just
where or how it was accomplished lay
buried in the depths OF the soul. He
arose from it a new man, with new
purpose and new interest.
Hence the recent meeting with his
faithless love, fraught with so much
import to her, had no meaning for
him. A new star had risen upon his
life, holding his entire being en-
tranced Claiming him wholly her
| own.
Mrs. Witchert was respondent in
her matchless beauty and bewildering
attire as she entered the ballroom on
her husbands arm that same evening.
But in vain she endeavored to lure
Reginald Hawthorn to her side His
greeting as they met was formal and
perfunctory. To be sure he looked after
her admiringly, but with no faintest
! Renaissance that she ever played a
part in his life.
Late in the evening, longing for
breath of fresh air, she made her way
alone to the broad, dimly lighted We
randa. Suddenly she came upon them
the man she had never ceased to love
| and the girl to whom his troth was
plighted, his first and only love, as he
firmly believed-the discovery was like
blow to the woman concealed by the
large stone pillar from where she
could see and hear them. The girl
was in his arms, where Mrs. Witchert
herself had SO often been in those
dear, delightful days now gone for
her agony. She held herself taut, how
ever to catch the low words of their
converse.
Tell me, Reginald. did you never
| love before?"
Not until 1 met you. beloved, did

Il am glad-and yet"
Speak, sweetheart, and yet?"
Il heard a rumor to-day"

His laugh rang out clear and con-
vincing

Great 1arOniaI Dining Hall.

Raby castle, the seat of Lord Barnard,
is a famous old structure. On the ground
floor is q mighty hall into which one
might dr'ca coach. Above it, runs a
dining chamber 80 feet in length and So
in breadth. Itremains to-day as it stood
in the days when the barons for whose
entertainment it was fashioned were al
most the paramount power in the land
Seven hundred of the mightiest and
noblest in the kingdom dined simulta-
neously in this hall, when the Yarlike
Nevilles were established at Raby cas-
tie. The ancient chamber is good for as
many to-day, and there is accommoda-
ton enough for the cooking. The kitch-
en- is square of 20 feet, with an oven
so huge that at one time it was con-
verted into wine cellar, the sides be-
ing divided into ten parts, each side
holding hogshead of wine in bottles.

WHERE2

Where is the boy who used to pace
The street with the cry: Sweep Ro!"
The dwarfish lad with the smudgy face
That clean boys pestered so?
Is coal less dirty than formerly,
Or cleaner coal more cheap;
Or chimneys built so as not to be
In need of the Chimney Sweep?
Where is the man with the blackened face
Who sat on the giant van
And cried: "Char-co'. Char-co'!'
Oh, where is the Charcoal Man?
Was 1t the gas stove put to flight
This man with the dismal mien;
Or modern cooks who have learned to light
The fire with kerosene?
Where is the man who was never wrong.
And pounded a lapstone, too
Who told a story or sang song
AS he pulled his waxed ends through;
who sewed a shipper with silken thread,
Or damaged shoes half-soled,
And made tail boots with tops OF red
OH where is the Cobbler old?
Where is the man. all powdered white.
Who lived below the hill
Who ground the bags OF corn we brought
On the horse to the little mill?
And where are the girls with rosy cheeks
Who used to milk and churn,
And where are the succulent buckwheat
cakes
That grandma used to turn?
The chimney sweep owns iron works;
The charcoal burners sons
Are working mines of anthracite
And making coke by tons;
The millers boys are millionaires
In Minneapolis,
And the cobbier's heir, in the Nutmeg state,
Owns big shoe factories.
The rose-cheeked girls are matrons now
And live in state uptown;
Their boys are sporting the college cap,
Their daughters the Paris gown.
hut the hopeless longing will never down
For the good old buckwheat cake.
So sweet and tender. so thick and brown,
That grandma used to make

MODISH FANCIES.
Pretty Bits of Finery That Enter In
to the Composition of the
Seasons Costumes.

A supple satin in marine blue, black
and brown, with large panne spots, is

Eagle.
1t is predicted that white velvet will
have considerable vogue during the COM

All the seasons skirts are round, de-
fine the figure at the top aud are extrav-
agantly full at the base.
Winter millinery inclines to the di-
rectoire modes, black velvet hats with
long plumes being accorded the premier
position.
Ivory shirt waist sets are new. The
signs are unique and handsome.
To keep delicately tinted tea or ball
gowns clean around the edges, put three
graduated ruches under the hem.
If the big, black picture hat is too try

Favorite hair ornaments are wreaths
of convolvuli and leaves in black and

For those who like rich material for
reception gowns satin taupe (moleskin)

For evening wraps the new zibeline
and plush cloths in white have the pref

admired tint.
The fancy for white and black spots
has spread to feather boas, an example
being a white one, on which were large
spots both in black chenille and feathers.

Most Popular of Swiss Books.

The most popular author in Switzer-
land at present is not novelist, but a
professor-Karl Hiltz, of the University
of Berne, and his most popular book is
an ethical treatise entitled "Gluck," Of
which more than 10000 copies have been
printed in short time. Its theme is
happiness; unlike Schopenhauer, he be-
lieves that happiness is really attainable,
although even the fortunate Goethe de-
clared, when he was rs, that he had in
all his life hardly had four weeks of real
enjoyment The secret of happiness, ac-
cording to Prof. Hiltz, lies in steady
work of any kind. If everybody did his
share of work, the social problem would.
