TERRIER A VERSATILE DOG
One That Was Devoted t. Snake
Killing-Making Sure Of a Fox.

From Blackwood's Magazine.
OF all our dogs there is none SO versa
tile in mind and body as the terrier There
is no service that dog can do for us in
sport or as q companion that he is not
capable Of
know one terrier in India who devoted
herself to the dangerous and exciting
sport Of snake killing. Her method was
to irritate the snake into sitting up. She
would dance around it. sparring for an
opening as 1t were. Then with incredible
swiftness she darted at the reptile and
gripped it close behind the 'head-a sharp
bite and the snake was dead.
| She was marvelously successful until on
an unlucky day when one of her puppies
was with her she found a snake: the
puppy got in her way at the critical mo-
ment and the snake struck Nettle on the
nose The wound was slight, it was eau
terized at once and a strong dose Of whis-
ky administered. Apparently Nettle was
quite we'll the next morning. but as she
was playing with the puppy she suddenly
turned head over heels and when we
reached her she was dead.
A fox once went to ground in a narrow
drain; two terriers v ere running with the
pack. The first went in, and unable to get
up to the fox, caught hold of the brush.

The second terrier also went in. but
could not Of course get far. as his COM
panion blocked the way, so he caught
hold Of the first terriers tail. Then came

SLEEP IN THE DESERT,
Impossibility of Keeping Awake in
Riding Across Cobb.

From the North China News.
Hitherto 1 have thought that travelling
by carts over stony roads and staying in
Chinese inns at night was the hardest
thing a foreigner travelling in China was
called upon to endure, but since I have
Travelled with a caravan of camels I have
changed my opinion. The monotony Of
the desert by day and the bed of camels'
saddle at night, the evil smell Of camels
and the slowness of their drivers and the
acrd choking Of the little fire on which
ones food is cooked-none of these things
is SO toying to the foreigners as the
sleepiness which attacks one in this high
region. This to me was a real torture.
Travelling the cold night with no other
company than dull Chinese. who seem to
sleep while walking alongside the canels
or while sitting on their backs. and being
weighed down by heavy sleepiness. is the
worst thing have endured.
You sit on your horse. and. in spite Of
every effort. fall asleep. Presently you
wake up and find yourself on the ground
with your horses standing bewildered at
your side. wondering whether you are
alive or dead. Then you try to keep your
self awake by walking and talking a bit
to the camel drivers, but you soon flnd
that they are just as sleepy as yourself.
A few words are exchanged. and then you
are too tired to open your mouth to talk
or even to think of anything but sleep.
sweet sleep. Oh. for just a few minutes
there at the roadside in the soft sand!
But. no. you must go on and Tight
against this desire. It Is too dangerous to
sleep by the roadside on the ground. The
caravan cannot wait. and your servant
would not watch over you; he would soon
fall asleep like yourself. The wolves
would then have an easy time.
Yet in spite of all this reasoning you
feel as if you were drawn to the ground
by the power of a thousand strong mag
nets. and soon yield to sleep again. Sud-
denly your watchful horse. whose reins
you have kept slung around your neck
this is a wise thing to do-pulls up, starts
and jerks you wide awake. You jump
up. not knowing where you are for some
seconds, but you see your horse trembling,
and realize that danger is near.
For few minutes you are fully awake,
and feel glad and refreshed. You jump
on your horse and catch up with the
caravan. which has gone a few II "a II is
654 YARDS ahead.
After another ten II or SO sleep creeps on
again like a huge boa constructor embrace
ing you in it's irresistible grasp. The same
fight has then to be fought over again.
Then at last the caravan arrives at the
hating place for the night.

the whipper-in and he stopped down, put
in his arm and, feeling the second ter
rier, caught hold CT him and pulled him

Out.
There was considerable resistance. but
at length, to the amusement Of the field,
the second terrier appeared holding tight
to the tail Of his predecessor. who in his
turn was holding or to the brush OF the
fox.
If your terrier is to do his best for you in
the field he must share your home, or If
| he lives in a kennel you must be often
with him, but my experience is that the
dogs that have been the best for work
| have been those that have lived with
me day and night. A dog so studies your
face that he learns to anticipate your
wishes, almost to read your expression.
Moreover, he picks up good many
words when ne is always in the house. and
| I have generally found that there are some
words which are so thrilling that they
have to be spelled out by members OF the
| family The sound of them Is too eXc1t-
| ing for the small friends under the table
or seated on their favcrite chairs.
The terrier that lives in the house de-
yelops a vocabulary Of his own and one
I knew we'll had three distinct tones. With
one he called his mistress when he was In
trouble or wanted help; In another. re-
specially imperious. he invited trustee
| friend to take him out. If he wanted the
servants he would put his head through
the banisters of the kitchen staircase and
bark sharply and imperiously.
| Each tone was known and recognized.

National Metropolitan's Artistic
Building Unsurpassed-Institu-
ton a Factor in the Coun-
try's Finances.

The newest bank in the city, as far as
the building is concerned, is the National
Metropolitan, in 18th street, opposite the
Treasury, but it's life as an institution
stretches back over nearly a hundred
years of honored history as command
ing factor of Washington and in national
finances.
In the life of the bank there have been
but six presidents and seven cashiers, in
almost a century. These presidents are
Gen. Van Ness, John w Maury, Thomas
Carberry, George Lowry, John B. Blake,
John w Thompson and the incumbe mt
of the office, E. Southland Parker. Mr.
Parker has been resident of Washington
since 1887. and was president of the Co
Iumbia National Bank before he took his
present office in 1891.
The officers of the bank are: E. S. Par
ker, president: s. w. Woodward. vice
w. w. W. Parker, assistant cashier. The
directors are among the most prominent
Washington business men.
Triumph of Architecture.
Visitors to Washington will find that it
will repay them to enter the bank and
look al the interior, which for richness of
architectural effects would be difficult to
surpass The outside of the structure,
beautiful as 1t is in the purity of the daz-
cling marble. finds its splendor grow even
more pale in contrast with the bronze
and colored marbles within, while the
mullioned ceilings. from which open STAIN
ed-glass skylights. give the browning
touch of perfection to the color scheme
The inside of the bank is planned to re-
semble the court of an italian villa, with
InoOia and ratings while in ha -

effect produced is that of light and space,

glimpses of the blue sky, and not as if a
heavy roof overhung the visitor.
About the counting room marble walls
rise to the level of the counters, and then
come screens of marble and bronze. be-
hind which the tallers handle the coin of
the realm and scrutinize the paper that
comes to them as arbiters of fate. The
counting room is entered through bronze
doors of massive proportions. On each
side of the entrance hall are spacious
rooms. that on the north containing art
fully placed mirrors and being set aside
for the use of the lady customers OF the
bank, while the one on the opposite side
is the office of the president and the
cashier.
All the Central space in the great room
where the business of the bank will be
carried on is for the use of the patrons of
the institution. and the tellers and other
employees of the bank are separated from
this space by screep, which is made en-
tirely of marble, the grill work in the
upper part being of bronze. The screen is
divided in panels by means of columns OF
marble, the latter being white beaui-
fully marked with veins of yelloWish tone.
The lower portion of the screen is Of
white marble, and both varieties are used
| in the framework of the upper portion.
Massive pillars of green marble. square
and sturdy, support the ceiling. which is
rich tone OF gold. which gives warmth to
the white marble SO extensively used in
this great apartment In the center of
the ceiling is a fine skylight filed with
stained glass of soft brilliant colors. There
are windows at both ends and also on the
south side, SO that the interior is we'll
| lighted.
Quarters Second to None
The whole interior of the bank has been
| designed in the spirit of the best Roman
architecture. and every detail, even to the
smallest, has been carefully and thor
oughly carried out in this style. so that as
whole the National Metropolitan Bank
has quarters second to none in the United
States.
The vault is an enormous affair. pro-
teeted by thirteen-ton door. the like of

mighty hinges, and the effect its motion
produces upon a beholder is the same as
that experienced when watching one man
manipulate massive siXteen-inch gun.
The exterior walls of the vault are
formed of massive blocks of stone. These
are simply the facing of an inner wall
made of armor plate. such as is used for
protecting the side of the warships. The
mechanism of the door, as we'll as the en-

Seven Playhouses of Various Glasses

Visitors to Washington during the

finding enough to occupy the daylight
hours of their sojourn in the city n going
through the stores to select and make
their purchases and in seeing the many
interesting sights of the city, but at night

a historic theater. filled with memories Of

pay a nickel and stay till you are ready
to come out.
During the theatrical season Washing

control the comings and goings of the
stars In their courses, and 1t is an excep-
tional week when at least two 'attrac.
lions" of recognized excellence are not
to be seen here and often all three OF the
leading theaters offer bills which make
choice of good things difficult.
There are three theaterS in which tha
light side of the stage is uppermost with
variety acts and kindred attractions. In
two of them smoking Is permitted. Here
the prices are somewhat lower than at the
so-called Legitimate houses, although

Plenty to Go Around.
One OF the playaouses. recently partly
