Dogs In Ecclesiastical peeorations.

Dogs In Ecclesiastical Decorations.
 The stained glass representation of the "Peddler and His Dog" was remov- ed from Lambeth church a quarter of a century ago owing to the alleged in congruity of introducing the figure of a dog in a church window. Quite re gently Chancellor Prescott of Carlisle refused a faculty for a stained glass window in a Westmorland church be- cause the design included a dog, and perhaps the only existing examples of dogs used for ecclesiastical decorations are to be found in Lord Brownlow's private chapel at Ashbridge. In this church one stained glass window de picts Tobias and Sara in bed and q dog sleeping on the quilt while in an other window Job is shown being mocked by three men, one of whom is holding a dog by a chain.-Westmin- ster Gazette.

The Giants Staircase,

One of the most widely known geo logical curiosities in the vicinity of Cork is a series of knobs or knots pro jecting from the face of q cliff. There are sixteen of these huge projections all together, all regularly set in the face of the cliff, one above the other, forming a series of such uniformity as to give, it the general appearance of a stairway. Since time out of memory this queer ascent and its projecting steps have been known as the Gi- ants Staircase.

The One Dish Diet.

A food specialist said of dieting:
 ''The simplest, easiest and most effi- cacious diet to bring down the weight Is the one dish diet. At no meal, that is, should more than one dish be eaten.
 ''The dish may be what you will Irish stew, macaroni and cheese, roast beef, vegetable soup, bacon and eggs but no courses are to precede or fol low it. You may eat as much as you choose of the dish, and yet for all that you will lose weight steadily.
 'It's the variety of dishes-the oys- ters, soup, fish, turkey, mince pie, ice cream-it's the variety of dishes, ere ating an artificial appetite when the body has really had all it requires, that causes csrpulence- If we conine ourselves to one dish we know when we've had enough-we don't know. oth- erwise-and the result is that we soon drop down to the slimness natural to children, animals and temperate and healthy men and women"

"The ToymakerS"

MT. Pidgin, author of Quincy Adams Sawyer, has written another story, en- titled ''The Toymakers and has made a musical absurdity from it. Twenty-six numbers of very pretty and tuneful music have been composed for it by Charles D. Blake and John A Bennett.
 The scenes of this musical play are laid in an old English toy makers shop. The old toy maker has made life-sized doll and tries to bring it to life by the aid of electricity. The doll is imperson- ated by the village bells and the compli- cations that arises are many.
 This comic opera is booked to play an engagement of one night here, Wednes- day evening at Town Hall.

Inn Names In Germany.

Germany probably holds the record for out of the way signs and fantastic inn names. The most absurd results are usually obtained by the name of some animal with a more or less un- suitable object. The Comfortable Chicken and the Cold Frog, both of them in Berlin. are certainly left in the shade by the Angry Ant (Ort, in Westphalia) and the Stiff Dog (Berlin). The Lame Louse is an inn in a suburb of Berlin, and not far from it is the Thirsty Pelican. The Dirty Parlor, the Bloody Bones, the Musical Cats, the Fourhundredweight Man, and the Boxers Den are all in Berlin or the neighborhood, and the Old Straw Bag in Leipzig. The Open Banghole is in Stadtohen, in the Palatinate, and the Shoulder Blade in Jerichow. The Last TeGr is a landlords notion for the name of his inn, situated near a grave yard, visited by returning mourners, and Is of frequent occurrence through out the fatherland.

Small Potatoes In Ashley Falls
Concluded next week.

There was a man named Walter, So smart that he forgot To take all his potatoes
 From his twenty acre lot. When the bulk of those potatoes Were gathered in the barn, Along came Newt, the Swede, To do his neighbor harm. There were many good potatoes. That were left upon the lot; For Walters men had missed them, He not being on the spot. One bright October morning, Newt thought he'd look around; And saw some fine potatoes,
 A'peeping through the ground. Now Newt. he viewed the 'tater field, And with an eye to biz; Decided that ere many moons, Those 'taters would be his. So forthwith he to Walter hied With diplomatic flash, And asked if he could glean those spuds, To make his pigs mash. "Sure Mike" says Walt. "go help your
 self,
 Take all that you can find !" @ Newt thanked his friend so innocent, For being so mighty kind. By night. by day Newt hood the ground. Found tubers there galore; He filled his barrels, filled his bins He had no room for more. The time came round as come it will, And Walt began to hustle To deliver his potato crop,
 With his wonted dash and hustle. "Friend Newt" says he. i've brought
 your spuds, Ten bushels, twas you said." "Dunno how many III need," says
 Newt, AS he blinked and scratched his head. "Oh. well, you ordered them," said
 Walt.
 "I guess I'll tote them in," "But don't need them now" quoth
 Newt,
 'I've twenty bushels in my bin. "The pigs can't eat the whole of those, I gleaned from out your lot; And what they can't eat, of course I'll
 use,
 In my own potato pot" "Ain't that the limit now ?'' says Walt, (You could have knocked him flat ) But he could only grin and smile, And say, "What ye think of that?"

Suits to a T.

The clause Tt suits to a T." mean ing it fits exactly, is as old as the ia miliar instrument, the T square or T rule (so called from its resemblance to the letter T), used by mechanics and draftsmen for making angles true and for obtaining perpendiculars. The ex- pression was in common use in the time of Dr. Johnson, who is quoted by Boswell as saying of Warburton, You see they have fitted him to a IT."
