A Man of Letters on Dogs.

The self-consciousness and vanity
of dogs might disgust even a minor
poet. I have known collie certain
ly very handsome collie-to pass
his days in contemplating his own
image in the glass. I know a dog
dandy which actually makes eyes,
being conscious that he possesses
these organs very large, brown and
decorative.
Tie dog is not brave. The dog is
not faithful. 1t needs a great deal
Of fidelity in man to cling as he does
to the dog, licking, as it were, the
paw (the muddy paw, which
tramples him.
Who has not seen dog morally
corrupt family-reducing them to
the slaves of his impulses Tip wants
to take walk! Tip wants to go out
Of the door-then he wants to come
in again; then he appears at the win
dow and scratches; then he fancies
the most comfortable armchair, and

Marketing in the French Capital

American women would be sur
prised to learn that almost every
woman in France, whether wealthy or
of the poorer class, does her own mar.
keting, and among the large stores
and market places might be seen
early every morning fashionably
gowned women purchasing eatables,
with their maids and cooks a short
distance off to carry home the bun
dies In the very rich households the
chef, of course, is king of the kitchen
and he would not permit Of madame
interfering with his knowledge of eat
ing and cooking.
1t is more than likely that the
French woman does not experience
the same trouble with maids and
cooks as does her Amscvan sister
and servants are obliging and more
than delighted to do the marketing.
Some of the more enterprising shop
keepers give a cent on every franc
spent, and that, of course, is large
inducement to servants to trade with
him. Most French maids are worthy
and many have the artistic ability
which is an exceedingly good trait
They are splendid cooks, and the
majority prefer to do their OVID
buying.

A Quaker CITY small Boy.

You can't lose the kids. The other
day youngster entered the store Of
a prominent business man in town
near this city and approached the
head of the house with the remark:
Say, mister, don't you want to
buy ticket?'
Whats it for?" asked the business
man.
Its for fair we're goin' to have
to buy baseball suits for next sum-
mer," was the reply.
I'm selling tickets, too," returned
the business man, with smile.
Mine are for the supper that is to
be given for the benefit of the church.
Suppose we trader"
The boy looked at the merchant
with undisguised delight. He had
heard of the supper, and could hard
ly bunch up the words quick enough
to say:
"I'll go you, mister"
The change was quickly made, and
it was not until some time afterWard
that it dawned on the business man
that the tickets sold by the boy were
rated at 10 cents each, while those
be was selling for the church supper
retailed at so cents.
The boy was 40 cents to the good.

passes the traveller in this decade Of

notonous salt fare, is already thing
Of the past. Not so long ago, even,

sailing packets, sometimes becalmed
for weeks, with the horrors of scurvy
as a climax to their evils. Now a
floating palace, as in some Aladdin
necromancy, conveys the Pacific voy-
ager. Soft beds, artificial heat, run
ming water, electric lights and bells,
are at hand in the airy, pretty and
comfortable cabins, while the great
cold-storage rooms make possible the
varied and dainty menu, the modern
sea miracle of oysters, fish and game,
fresh meats, vegetables and fruits
carried by the ton for the delectation
of the passenger, the statistics" Of
whose appreciation of his opportuni-
ties include chicken soup served on
deck at II a. NJ, high tea in the din

The Perspective Of Iinht

Velaquez recognized that light is
elastic and Eliminates the air. Hence
ne was the first to discover a new
kind Of perspective. Men long ago
had learned to make lines vanish
from the eye; to make the figures di-
minish in size and shape. as they re-
cede from the front; and to explain
the distance by contrasts of light and
shade. But ne discovered the per-
spective of light. BY the most deli
cate rendering of the quantity Of light
reflected from each and every part
of the room and the figures and OBJ
jects in it, he has given to the latter
the reality Of form and to the room
