whiskers In the British Navy.

In 1869 Queen Victoria took a
great interest in whiskers in the
British navy. She wrote to the first
lord Of the admiralty in that year :
"The queen thanks Mr.. Childers
very much for his communication
on the subject of boards. She thinks
the order will do extremely well.
Her own personal feeling would be
for the boards without the mus
taches, as the latter have rather a
soldierlike appearance; but then the
object in view would not be attained
to prevent the necessity for shaw
ing. Therefore it had better be as
proposed, the entire beard, only it
should be kept short and very clean,
The queen wishes to make one addi-
tional observation respecting the
beards-that on no account should
mustaches be allowed without
boards. That must be clearly I'M
derstood."

Composer Haydn and His Ring.

Joseph Haydn was an exceedingly
Industrious worker, and before 60
ing down to business he perfumed
and powdered himself very careful
ly, always putting on his best
clothes. On one occasion Frederick
the Great presented him with
handsome diamond ring, remarking
that if he ever sat down to write
music without that ring no ideas
worth having would come to him.
Haydn never was without the royal
gift. He always used the finest pa
per and wrote his music as carefully
and accurately as if it had been en-
graved.

DOGS AND WORDS.
The Canine Vocabulary Is Larger
Than Is Generally Supposed.

According to an expert in dogs,
the canine race learns to understand
if not the entire human vocabulary
at any rate many more words than
is commonly supposed. "Beg,"
Crust" "fetch it" and "cats" are
by no means the limit of it's knowl-
edge.
"Pet dogs, as a rule, have much
larger vocabulary than any other
kind" says the expert. Grained
dogs, the kind we find with circuses
and on the stage, probably come
second, and the others are ranged
according to the lives they lead.
'The dog learns words much
more rapidly than we suppose. In
the first place, this animal is re-
markably close observer. Hearing
a sound repeatedly, it soon learns to
associate it with a certain object.
Take the well trained hound, for in
stance. He soon learns what is
meant by gun, shoot, hunt, deer,
fox, chase and so on. Experienced
hunters can furnish many evidences
of the understanding of dogs when
it comes to the words and phrases
most frequently used in connection
with the sport.
"While it cannot be claimed for
hunting dogs that they have very
extensive vocabulary, they under
stand enough words to 60 about
their work intelligently and at times
with precision that is little less than
marvellous. Pet poodles, fox
terriers and animals of this kind
have a more extensive vocabulary.
can illustration of this is found
in a fox terrier belonging to the
manager Of a well known theater, a
terrier Of royal lineage, having come
from the royal kennels at Budapest.
"Few words in common use
around the house are beyond the
understanding Of this intelligent
animal. It knows the name of ev-
cry article of furniture and cloth
ing in the house.
"a test was made for the purpose
of determining the accuracy Of the
terriers understanding Of words. 4
want you to walk on your hind feet
to the front room and bite Mr.. B.
on the ear said member Of the
household to the pet. Forthwith
the terrier was off, and before Mr..
B. knew anything about the plan
the pet dog was playfully pulling at
his ear.
"Here was a rather intricate COM
mand. It was not simply a com
mand to go; it said how to go,
where to 60, what to do and to
whom. But the terrier understood
perfectly.
CHOW, here is a dog having an ex-
traordinary vocabulary, understand
ing, no doubt, no fewer than $50
words. This one case will show that
the pet dog has a wider understand
ing Of words than dogs belonging
to any other class, and there is a
reason for it Of course. They are
talked to constantly and naturally
learn to associate certain sounds
with certain objects. London Ex-

remainder are disconnected. AS only
twenty-five strikers were disarmed the

The Dainty Laundress Knows

That unless a wash silk blouse is
properly washed its beauty vanishes
after the first fatal laundering, never
more to be seen.
She washes white silk or silk that is
undyed first in cold water then lightly
rubs it about in the water and washes
it in soap lather.
She adds little dissolved borax
to the washing water if the silk is
much sOiled or the water hard.
She slightly blues the last rinsing
water for pure white silk, and uses
slightly warm washing water, but for
colored silks never hot water.
In the last rinsing water she adds 10
every pint of water two teaspoonfuIs
of prepared gum, which gives firm
ness to the silk and a slight gloss.
She now wraps the shirt in a cloth
and presses dry, and leaves it rolled
up until ready to iron, which should
be soon.
She lays the shirt on table right
side up, and extremely smooth, to iron
it. covers it with a thin cloth, runs the
iron lightly over it until partly dry,
then removes the cloth and irons it
completely.
She never brings an iron into direct
contact with damp silk.
She waits until pongee silk, white or
ecru, is almost dry before ironing it,
and thus keeps it from looking greasy.
