When Dogs Went to Church.

Whether In repentance for sins OF
the week or for want Of smaller ken
nels we are not told, but dogs OF the
good old days had a remarkable fond
ness for church services. The clergy
and wardens had an equally extraor-
binary objection to four legged devo-
tees. There are many church records
showing the expenditure on wisp and
tongs for intruding dogs and wages
paid to the wielders Of these weapons.
In the county of Kent is piece of
land still known as Dog Whippers'
marsh. from which a payment Of III
shilllngs a year was to be devoted to

up to the last was not nearly as
close as that score would seem
to indicate. The base ball en-

for tuberculosis patients at

DR.. Thams is at present at his
former home in North Dakota,
forming a stock company to

the end of the month. He has
great faith in the Idaho climate
as a cure for people afflicted
with tubercular diseases, and
believes that at Grandview the
right conditions for a sanitarium
exist. The structure itself will
cost in the neighborhood of
$4,000, but the company to
operate it will be capitalized at

Glasses became so fashionable that

wore spectacles. In Spain they form

wearer in putting ON glasses was to In
crease the gravity of his appearance
