Epitaphs to French Dogs.

On the occasion of a lawsuit
brought by a marble cutter, some
very interesting details have come out
in Paris court concerning the dog
cemetery, founded ON the lie des
Ravageurs, near Paris, In 1899. AS
a commercial undertaking the ceme-
terry has been eminently successful;
80 much so that the society which
conducted 1t was tempted to evict the
marble cutter, to whom it had origin
ally given free concession for a
workshop on the ground, and whom
1t wished to replace by a more profit
able competitor. The marble cutter
protested, and alleged that 1t was in
a great measure owing to him and
the care he bestowed upon the epi.
taphs and tombstones that the ceme-
terry had prospered.
Some of these epitaphs were read
in court, and were found to be of a
highly sentimental character. There
are already 1000 graves" in the
cemetery. Some of them, leased for
a long term, have cost as much as
~NON - 0ANos hC lOMNoI plAIG pdlu
for any concession is five francs, and
the expenses of the most discreet
burial is thirty-five francs. Visitors
to the cemetery pay fifty centimes as
an entrance fee. They have occasion
to admire the pretty monuments to
Tom, Bob. Kiss, Mimi. Bojlu and
other lamented pets with similar en-
dearing names.
On one of the tombstones they may
read. Homage to faithful heart" :"
and on another, Here lies Black,
killed by a civilized savage" The
above victim, explains the keeper,
died at the hands Of an indignant
concierge. Another marble slab
mounted on cement rock contains the
following: Neither name nor date
what matters it?" And again, "Be.
meath these stones reside the material
remains OF that which during its life
was my JOY and my consolation. -

Stage Seas.

Mr.. Alfred Lester, the popular
Gaiety comedian, has told funny
stage sea story, which leads me to a
remembrance of others. Mr.. Lester,
like most comedians, started his stage
career as player OF heroes, villains,
heavy fathers" and other familiar
figures of melodrama, and one night,
at a dirty little theatre in third
rate Welsh town, or village, while ex-
piring of thirst on raft. the actor
felt to his annoyance that the scene,
intended to be most pathetic, was
provoking explosions OF unsuccess-
fully suppressed laughter. The more
he raved CT the thirst that was con-
suming him the more the people in
front were consumed with laughter.
Mr.. Lester thought them the hardest
hearted wretches he had ever played
before-until he knew what had been
the cause of their merriment. 1t ap-
peared from information received
from the manager that a scene-
shifter, instead of lowering a black
cloth of perilous rocks, had intro
duced into the scene of turbulent
waters the peaceful picture OF a coun-
try inn, with fields of poppies in the
distance. The spectacle OF thirsty
mariner calling huskily for 'watah"
while there were licensed premises"
almost at his elbow in the raging
ocean naturally struck the audience
as having its humorous aspect.-M.

with poignant regret at the memory
OF the big FISH that would hare won
the prize. But not for moment was
he sorry that he had cast in his lot
with the dancing barrel.
On board the Lance they were pull
ing, discouraged and heartsick. The
rope came in so easily that they knew
the dory could not be at its end. The
probability was that Dixon had been
unable to reach the buoy, and was
drifting to leeward in his boat. 1t
was more than doubtful If they ever
saw him again.
Dixon felt that he could hold on
but little longer. The power of
thought had nearly been beaten out
of him. He seemed to have been
dragged for hours through the swash
of the sea. His body was numbed al
most to paralysis. A dozen times he
had imagined the schooner's light in
the gloom to windward, but had
found himself mistaken. He was pos
sessed by dull conviction that he
| would never reach her.
An unwonted smoothness of the
sea surprised him. He raised his
head, and there, not thirty feet away,
shone the lantern In the Lance's fore
rigging. AS her deck rolled down,
he saw the swaying line of weary
men heaving in the rope. At the
same instant they caught sight OF
him, and gave shout of surprise and
joy. Very carefully the last few feet
were coiled in, until willing arms
hauled him over the rail.
Tucked In bunk near the stove
and filled with hot coffee, he told re-
| gretfully of the record-breaking fish
he had lost. At the end of his story
two men went out Presently they
returned, carrying by the gills the
biggest cod he had ever set eyes on,
1t was considerably over five feet
long.
stand up, Christ" they shouted
to a wiry little Cape Verde Islander.
Suspended glistening in the lamp.
light, the monster came almost to the
top of the Portuguese fisherman's
head. AS Dixon looked, the bitter.
ness Of loss went out of his heart.
Good boy, Christ" said he. I'm
glad you got him. don't feel hall
so bad about losing mine, since he
couldn't have won the prize. -

How Chemistry
Detects Typhoid
by PROFESSOR X. duncan.

One great laboratory concerns it.
self, for one thing, with "the typhoid
agglutometer" for the diagnosis of
typhoid fever, one of the greatest
triumphs Of applied bacteriology.
The method rests upon the original
discovery of Vidal that the blood
serum of typhoid patient differs
from normal blood in this alI-import-
ant fact that when brought into con.
tact with living typhoid germs It
causes these germs to cohere into
clumps or colonies, to "agglutinate.
There thus arose a method of detect.
ing typhoid fever, depending, how
ever, upon the use of a powerful
microscope and, what made it impos.
sible for physicians, continually
renewed supply of fresh typhoid
germs as test reagents But notice
the progress: Next It was discovered
that this 'clumping" effect of typhoid
blood upon typhoid bacteria was Just
as efficient when the typhoid bacteria
were dead, and, finally, It was oh.
served that when the blood-serum OF
typhoid patient was added to a
liquid suspension of the dead mi.
crobes in test-tube, these dead mi.
crobes cohered to an extent so ex.
treme that they fell to the bottom
OF the tube in a mass visible to the
naked, unaided eye. Because of this
fact, this firm now sends to physlc-
ians in the remotest parts of the
country pocket apparatus contain.
ing an ounce vial filled with sterilized
dead typhoid germs, together with
accessory apparatus, so that the ply.
sician may determine whether the pa
TENTS blood will cause these mi
! crobes to "clump"--to determine, in
fact, whether the suspected patient
has typhoid fever-From Harper's

Animal Sacrifices in Morocco.

A strange custom still exists here,
that Of sacrificing live animals to pro-
pitiate those in power. An instance
of it occurred to-day, when three
ragged women, yelled, dirty and pow
erty stricken, came staggering up the
hill to the Flagstaff which stands In
the middle of our camp, half pushing,
half carrying two sheep bound and
helpless. Al the foot of our banner
staff they laid the beasts down and
sticking knife into their throats
left them there to die by slow inches.
No cries, no wailing, they huddled
together and sat motionless awaiting
Allah's Will. The Interpreter inter-
viewed them and discovered that they
were the wives of Moor whom the
new Kaid had imprisoned for the
usual sin-the ownership OF riches.
This brigand plundered everything
and turned the women out to starve.
Hearing OF the approach of a Basha-
dor, friend, no doubt, OF our Lord
the Sultan, they came to offer sac
riflce that he might have pity on
them. Alasl nothing can be done.
the Kaid is all powerful; even the
Sultan is helpless.
Sometimes bullock is hamstrung
on our road. Strange TO say the
sacrificed animal cannot be used Tor
food by the petitioners. but our es-
corts profit and drag on the carcass
with happy grIns. National Review.

The New Postal Card Regulations.


The new postal law went into effect
March 1st whereby 1t is permissible
to send souvenir postal cards through
the mails, containing writing on eth
er side. Hitherto 1t has been per.
missible to send cards with the writ.
ing on the reverse side only. Many
of the handsome cards are manufac.
tured in Germany. The laws there
permit writing on the left hand hall
of the front of the card, with the
right half reserved for the address.
These cards are often very hand.
some, and the reverse side is entirely
occupied by the lithograph. To write
on the reverse side of these cards is
difficult because of the glazing of the
surface, and also because it mars the
beauty of the cards. BY the new
law people will be permitted to write
on the front of the card. in the space
reserved for that purpose, as is per.
mitted in foreign countries where
they are made. Hitherto extra pos
tage has been charged in cases where
people have written on the front OF
these souvenir post cards. They are
now forwarded at the price of one
cent each.
The new law does not refer to the
ordinary one cent postals issued by
the Government, which are without
ornamentation of any kind. These
cards, of course, have an entirely
blank reverse side, for the sole pur-
pose of the communication. No writ
ing will be permitted on the address
side of these cards. They bear the
words, This Side For the Address
Only" as they have hitherto.
