A crazed mongrel dog. made frantic
by the screams of frightened school
children. made a vicious attack on a
room of little students at the John

them seriously. and thrown the schol4

1t was shortly after school had taken
in yesterday morning at o'clock that
the dog started on his savage course.
The animal followed Ida Fichtner into
the room of the, lower sixth grade. Miss
Eugenia Brooks, the teacher, who is
fond of animals, allowed the dog to
remain.
The animal was trotting up and down
the aisles when little Mabel Allen
reached out and petted it. Some say
she pulled its tail When the girls
hands touched It the dog snarled and
leaped across the aisle, where 1t fell
against another little girl At that il
emitted a series of howls and snapped
at u year old Lena Schlesinger, leap
ing at her face. The girl beat it away
and the pupils. now thoroughly
alarmed, began TO scream and climb
upon their desks.
Bessie Bailey was working upon
map at her desk and did not see the
dog as il rushed down to her. AS it's
fangs sunk into her leg she screamed
and drew herself UP until she was
standing on the seat of the desk. The
dog released his hold and snapped his
teeth into the girls right leg. Then it
fell back and attacked Ida Fichtner.

French Forest-Ma aking.

A striking example of scientific for
estry Is furnished by the coast OF
France, chiefly in Gascony, where IN
1898 tree-planting was begun in an at
tempt to fix the sand dunes. which the
winds were steadily pushing inland
over the vineyards. Pine forests have
now covered 275,000 of the 350,ooo
acres of dunes. About s2,00O.OOO has
been spent on the work~with $7O0,0oo
more for forest administration, but
the state has received $4,000 more
than the cost, while the 125,0D acres
still retained have value OF $1o,0oo,-
900. Farther inland, about 100000
acres Of worthless shifting sands and
marshes, in the triangular area OF the
Landes, have. been converted into
profitable pine forests since the mid
die Of last century. This work, most
ly done by the communes. has created
a property worth $100,00O,Oo0, as val
ued from the present yield OF pine
timber and resin.

USES WINGS TO CATCH FISH
Sly Old Bird 10 the cassowary, Ae-
eordins to Observations Made
by Naturalist.

Habits of the cormorant and Of our
native fish hawk are generally known
Their methods Of taking fish are very
much like those of birds Of prey. But
the cassowary fishes according to a
method of it's own. A wellknown nat
uralist witnessed its operations on a
river in the island of New Britain.
He saw a cassowary come down to
the waters edge and stand for some
minutes apparently watching the wa
ter carefully. 1t then stepped into she
river where it was about three ieet
deep, and partially squatting down,
spread its wings out, submefglng
them, the feathers being spread
and ruffled
The bird remained motionless. and
kept its eyes closed as If in sleep. 1t
remained in this position for a quar-
ter of an hour, when suddenly closing
its wings and Strengthening its feath-
ers 1t stepped out on the bank. Here
is shook itself several times, where
upon quantity of small fishes fell
out of its wings and from amid its
feathers. These the bird Immediately
picked up and swallowed.
The fishes had evidently mistaken
the feathers for kind of weed that
of the rivers in this island and which
resembles the feathers of the casso-
wary. The smaller fishes hide in these
weeds to avoid the larger ones tnat
prey on them.

ONLY AS OLD AS SHE LOOKS
Woman Of To-Day Retains Youthful
ness Longer Than Her Grand
mother Did.

Women in Switzerland grow old
more gracefully than any Of the other
women in Europe. according to let
ter to the Emporia (Kan.) Gazette.
That does not mean that women who
work hard in youth and sap their lives
out before they are 80 are pretty.
Not even American women Of that
type are beautiful. Perhaps 1t means
that, owing to social and economic
conditions, women do not have to
wear themselves out as their mothers
did, and hence they are beautiful in
their forties and fifties. 1t may be
pertinent to digress here and present
this query: Are not women the world
over, as rule, adding a decade to
their years of youth? 1t does seem
that there are more handsome women
between 35 and 55 than there were
25 years ago, Or perhaps a boy in
his teens isn't SO charitable to the
minor failings of woman in her for
ties as a man is in his forties. But
discounting the pride of youth. it
does seem that to-day, all over the
world, the woman whose family in
come is between SO and $1,000 &
week-a wide range, surely-this
woman retains her youthful fresh
ness and charm longer than her
saving machinery seems to have done
that much for the woman in general
everywhere in civilization.

Virtues Of the Hazel Twiu,

Hazel twigs long have been used as
instruments with which to discover
water under ground. The twig has at
various times been credited with many
marvellous powers. Not only could it
discover water, but concealed lodes of
metal, especially silver, were be-
trayed by the hazel, which, according
to tradition, was guided by the pixies
who guarded the treasures of the
earth. In France the divining rod of
hazel was used in the pursuit of
criminals, while in many of the m-..i-
DDS of investigating the future the
burning of hazel nuts played part.
