Allah's Wonderful Ways.

One of the partners in a big western
store never lends money under any cir
cumstances. lie was one day visited by
an cid friend, who wished to borrow
money wherewith to launch Il question
able enterprise. The merchant prince
gave some polite excuse for his unwilI-
ingness to lend, and the man declared
he regarded this excuse as somewhat
lishy.
Thereupon, smiling grimly, the mer-
chant said: Let me tell you little
story. Once upon Il time an Arab went
TO his nelghbor and said:
Lend me your rope.

Lava Plant Cured Cough.

Prof Riggs, l see, advises people to
chew lava as a panacea for all ills,
remarked a Providence woman Who
travels widely. Il cannot vouch for the
theory that lava would be panaeea

plant or shrub, which grows very near

OLDEST BREED OF DOGS.
Egyptian Gazclle Hound, Wedding Pres
ent to Queen Of Spain.

4
ent to Queen of Spain.
A beautiful Egyptian gazelle hound
(SlughD was among the wedding gifts of
the young Queen of Spain. The dog,
which IS a lovely pale cream color and
named Saadan, was the gift of Hon.
Florence Amherst, who is Il sister of
Lady William Cecil, who has been in
waiting on the Queen Of Spain in Mad
rid.
These desert hounds are among the
latest of society's pets, says the London
Tribune and bid fair to Outrun in popu-
larity even the aristocratic Borzoi, which
is the nearest in character to the east
ern greyhound, and is probably derived
from him.
The Slughis are perhaps the Oldest
breed in the world, not even excepting
the historic spaniel of the palace of
Pekin. Their form was sculptured on
some of the earliest of Egyptian mural
tablets, and some monuments preserve
the names of favorite hounds Of various
Kings.
The pedigrees of noble hounds nota-
bic for their speed in the chase are cur
rent today, having been additionally
handed down among sheiks of Bedoain
tribes of the deserts of Egypt and Ara
bia as from the days of Saladin, one of
whose hounds was named Saadan, while
Persian mobiles claim that strains they
own are older than either, and that the
breed first originated in Persia.
The color of the Slughi is that of the
desert over which he chases the gazelle,
and varies as do the sands, from a rath-
er deep fawn to the palest cream, which
is almost white. The greyhound form is
most distinctly preserved in the outline
of the Slughi.-New York Sun.

Army Canned Vegetables.

Commissary General Sharp of the
army is in receipt of some important re-
ports from officers in the Philippines and
in Alaska on the value of canned DO
tatoes and canned onions of n new type.
sent out for practical experiment in the
field with the idea that they would afford
a suitable substitute for the desiccated
vegetable, and where the fresh vege-
tables were not obtainabe. The idea is
one which was put into trial by General
Sharpe shortly after he became the head
of the subsistence department, and he is
gratified with the generally fayora bile
comment made by the officers who con
Quoted the tests, and the report that the
canned vegetables are paiataDle and will
be very acceptable, especially in the Phil
ippines. The canned potatoes We're used
baked, fried and boiled, and the canned
onions were fried with the potatoes and
also with meat, and both were used in a
meat stew. The reports show that the
canned vegetables are a worthy substi-
tute for the fresh articles and will be of
material benefit to the troops. There
would be a saving of loss from decay.
provided the canning were properly done,
and the full vegetable ration, necessity
in the tropics would be thereby insured.
In Alaska the results of the tests were
not so satisfactory as is indicated by the
reports from the Philippines, this proba-
bly, being due to the difference in the eli
mate. But in Alaska it is realized that
there may be Il material saving in the
vegetable ration by the use of the canned
potatoes and onions, provided, of course,
the canning be done at Il reasonable cost.

FOR A GUEST BOOK.

A book of guests! May 1t include
The wise, the witty, and the shrewd,
Aud such as own the double art
That makes them friends of head and heart
MAY those who stand recorded here
Grow dearer with each added year;
Acquaintance into friendship grow,
And friendship ever brighter glow.
Old friends are best, we lightly say,
But. as they fall upon the way
Keep full the ranks with newer friends,
TIN time the adjective amends.
And If old friends still seem the best,
The adage should be thus expressed:
Friends are not best because they're old,
But old. because the year that roll L.
The years that try and mar and mend
Have proved them worth the title friend.
