Care of Puppies.

Puppies after weaving will keep

II fed only on fresh buttermilk and
corn bread, with soup instead of the
buttermllk twice a week, till they are
five or six months old. Do not feed
them sweet milk. Keep the puppies
where they can get plenty of exercise.
Do not crowd them. Arrange their ken
nels so that they can go in and out of
their sleeping quarters. If fed In the
same vessels, some dogs get more than
their fair share of food and lose their
manners also. Fasten number of
chains where they eat at such dis
tances that no one can reach the other;
then feed in individual pans. Give lit
tie medicine and plenty Of exercise,
and you will then have strong. healthy
dogs. An hours run every day in the

Suffering Sour. the Temper.

in all my experience as physi-
cian." said DIR. S. Weir Mitchell, the
nerve specialist. In lecture, II have
not seen more than a dozen men or
women who have been improved NOR
ally by long continued suffering. Acute
illness and Illness which brings the
patient close to death often has bene,
cial effect upon the disposition. but
cannot agree with the assertion which
we frequently hear made in the pulpit
that suffering is usually the means of
refining. | have seen u few Isolated
cases In which this was so, but IT is not
the rule by any means. The chronic In
valid is almost invariably selfish and
peeyish. and 1t is hard task to find II

The Use of English.

Ruskin has said somewhere in the
"Fors Clavigera" that extreme nicely
In pronunciation and the use of words
Is vulgarity. There can be no doubt
Of 1t. At any rate, 10 prefer fine
word TO plain one or common one and
to say what you have to say in SO
called fine style rather than In a net
ural style Is sure sign Of small cul-
ture and of no taste at all. If a speas-
er or writer is up to his work, he will
trust for his effects to his clearness of
thought, strength of argument, force of
imagination ans power to use the Eng
llsh language easily, directly and wi III
common sense correctness. Grammar,
diction and style are the three things
which make the difference between
good writing and bad The grammar
of the language must of course be adj
hered to, but adhered to not in the wey
in which a servant obeys orders by do
ing simply as he is told, but as ma u
who knows In himself what he has TO
do.-London News.

An Irish authority thus defines as
an expert the effects of a well deliv-
cred curse: The belief among the an
Client Irish was that a curse once pro.
nounced must fall In some direction.
II it has been deserved by him on
whom 1t is pronounced, 1t will fall on
him sooner or later, but II 1t has not
then 1t will return upon the person who
pronounced 1t. They compare it to a
wedge with which a woodman cleaves
timber. If it has room to go. II will go
and cleave the wood, but IL it has not
it will fly out and strike the woodman
himself, who is driving 1t, between the
eyes"
There are three affairs inside the

curious. round, smooth stones. These
have been used for curslng by turning
them. and the natives are very super
stitious about them.
One mode of averting the curse was
for the person against whom the stones
were turned to have a grave dug. 10

spOlLlNG A SCENE.
IA Incident That Ended Mary Aa-
derson's Straining After Realism.

A Incident That Ended Mary An-
derson's straining After Realism.
Did you ever hear Mary Anderson's
pet story Of how she was. cured OF her
love of realism?
In big drama in which this great
actress once took part the heroine In a
scene of intense emotion Is made to ex-
claim, "IIark, hear the wheels of car
riages!"
Now, 1t was easy enough to obtain
ahe effect of wheels on gravel, but no
resource of the stage mechanism was
adequate to initiate the stamping Of
the feet Of horses MS they were drawn
up at the door. Every device was ex-
hausted when a bright idea occurred
to the actress herself. 1t was that a
donkey should be hired to trot up and
down behind the scenes on gravel laid
for the occasion. This was done, and at
rehearsal all went well. The Illusion
was perfect.
The first night came. The heroine
gave the cue. The wheels were heard,
but they stopped. and the rest was ST
lence. A pause, and again the actress
spoke her words. A terrible scuffiing
began and then "Hee-haw, hee-haw."
In stentorian tones from the back of
the stage as the indignant donkey
protested vigorously against his i'll
treatment by energetic carpenters and
supers. It was one of the most serious
situations of the play, yet audience
and actors Joined In paroxysms of
mirth until the tears were streaming
down their cheeks.

When Baron Haussmann went to
Constantlnople on visit TO Abdul Aziz.
who was then sultan, he had an inter-
view with the grand yizler. who did not
know a word of French. At the begin
ming of the interview the old long Turk
lsh pipes were brought in. and then
Baron Haussmann began making a
very long, speech in French. The grand
yizier could not understand a word. but
listened most attentiyely till he noticed
that his pipe had gone out and clapped
his hand for servant to come and re-
light 1t. Haussmann. thinking he was
applauding, rushed toward him with
outstretched hand, intending TO shake
hands and thank him. The grand vizier,
seeing his hand put forth, shook 1t
warmly and said "Goodby," under the
impression 1t was Haussmann's inten-
ton to leave and quilted the room.
