a EAlTHFuL DOG.


HIS Story Has Passed Iato HistOry'
with the Athentans.
Many hundred years ago there lived
ut Athens dog whose fafthfulness has
caused him to be mentioned IN his
tory, and in the Grecfan city his story
Is often repeated. The dog guarded
one of the heather temples at Athens.
one night thief stole Into this build
Ing and carried or soma OF the most
valuable treasures The dog vafnly
barked It's loudest to Erighten the thief.
and to rouse the keepers, 90 the man
went on with the Jewels. But the
faithful dog did not mean to. lose sight
of the rascal, and all through the night
he followed him. BY daYbreak thepOor
animal had become very weary, but
stfn he kept the robber IN sight The
latter tried to feed him, but the dog
refused all food from him, and, as he
made friends With passersby, he took
It from them instead. Whenever the
thief stopped to rest the dog remained
near him, and soon a report went
through the country OF the anImad's-
strange behavior The keepers OF the
temple. hearing the story, went In
search OF the dog. and they found him
stin at the heels OF the thief at
town called Cronyon- The robber was
arrested, taken back to Athens and
there punished. The Judges were 50
wen pleased with the dogs sagacity
md faithfulness that they ordered him
to be fed every day for the rest OF his
life at public expense.

why B1ercI,e Heats tas BODY.


A thinking boy asked the editor one
day why running or any other violent
exercise makes one hotter. Perhaps al
the boys and girls would like to have
the question answered for them. The
reason is that It quickens the circula-
don OF the blood. makes one breathe
faster and thus brings more air (and
OXYGEN into the IunGs. Animal heat Is
produced by slow combustion. ard
combustion Is nothing more than a
union OF the oxygen OF the air with
the combustible body or with some OF
its elements. When we take air into.
the lungs by breathing, the oxygen of
the air penetrateS the delicate vessels
and enters the blood. which carries It
to the henrt and thence to the different
organs. Here it makes a chemical I'M
ion with particles OF carbon from the
tissues. and that union makes heat
The faster you Breathe, therefore, the
more oxygen you take IN and the morG

BraIsing is a method OF cooking
which Is something NE both boiling
ana baking, but diners from either. It
Is a favorite French way OF cooking
and Is regarded as both economical
md good. for it converts inferior pieces
Of meat into tender, tasty dishes.
First of all, a pan having tightly
fitting cover is essentiaL In France a
special cover Is made in such shape
that live Goals can be spread over the
top. This Is necessary, because much
Of their cooking Is done with charcoal.
With our stoves we can use either
metal or earthenware. The latter Is
preferable. because the heat Is kept
more Uniform, but any kind of deep
covered pan or kettle will do the work,
The meat which IS to be cooked Is ar
ranged In the pan or kettle with OF
without eatables, according to the fa-
vor desired: water. sauce stock or
savory sauce added. The dish Is then
tightly covered ana placed In slow
oven to cook. From half an hour to
one hour is allowed for each pound Of
meat, according to It's toughness. The
meat will brown some even while
part of the liquid IS eyaporating. When
It IS desired well Drowned the cover Is
removed half an hour before dishing.

button. ana sVomen,s c1othes.

WHY does q woman button her gar
ments on the left sfde?p The question
Is discussed in the London Tailor and
Cutter by several correspondence, one
Of whom advances this theory: For
ladies to have the buttonholes in the
right side of their garments has its
origin In the times when It was neces-
saTy for a Indy when going out at night
to have a gentleman escort, who sup
ported her upon his left arm, leaving
his right or sword arm at liberty.
Thus the lady's left hand would be FREQ
