How to Buy a OoQ.

Buying a dog is not so easy as 1t
looks; there is so much taking" A
good Irish terrier, for instance, should
have a stiff, wiry coat, a pronounced
red color, n long, narrow head, small
eyes and ears which hang down. The
ears Of a bull terrier, an Aberdeen ter
rier or a Yorkshireman should stick
up, but be careful the willy dealer has
not produced this effect with card
board.
A bulldog should have a shovel shap-
ed mouth, with the under jaw protrud-
ing upward. and a wide chest. There
are one or two things to look out for
in buying a dog. Some dealers try to
palm of an old dog as a young n by
scraping his yellow teeth, which show
signs of age, and painting his gray
muzzle. Bright eyes are often pro-
duced by a smear Of vaseline and a
cold nose produced by Stockholm tar
but you can detect the presence OF
these aids by smell.

to be placed in bags and hung where
they will not be crushed.
Underwear that has any wool in it
must be taken care of also. A clean
trunk, with tar paper lining the bot

after packing, is perhaps the best for
such things, as it is easy to look them
over two or three times during the
summer, airing and summing. Indeed,
this precaution should be taken with
all woods, furs and clothing. Select a
bright day, take everything u and

Blankets should be washed, and for
that purpose it is better to take n
warm and cloudless day that they may
have all the sweetness of the sun
stored in their folds. If put away
quite dry and clean moths will not
trouble blankets at all.
Dress skirts should be carefully
cleaned, brushed until every particle
of dust is out and also hung in long,

CATHEDRAL"
Their Place In The Life OF The
Church And Nation.
CANON DEvRIES' DISCOURSE.
Tells The Congregation OF St. Anne's
Church The Object OF CathedraIs.

The Rev. DR.. VIM. l.. Devries. a
canon of the Washington Cathedral of
SIS. Peter and Paul, preached yester-
day morning at St. Anne's Church
upon the subject of Cathedrals." He
took as his text, Righteousness ex-
alteth nation, but sin is a reproach
to any people"
The preacher enlarged upon the fact
that the Cathedral can perform many
functions which the parish churches
cannot, because of their limitations.
Such functions are chiefly of broad
missionary character. He enumerat ed
and in an interesting way described
the following activities OF the Cathe-
dral Foundation:
/. As a domestic institution, tn
Cathedral is open to all sorts and con-
ditions of men. There being no pews
rented, all men are welcomed and can
feel free to come and worship without
any possibility of embarrassment. 1t
is an inspiring sight, ,he said. to see
the immense congregations of poor
and rich toget her in such a and
place of woT nip as St Pau's, Lon
don. Strangers in the city, esp cial-
ly, find the Cathedral place Of cor
dial welcome.
III. The Cathedral is an educa tional
institution. Schools for boys and girls
are already in prosperous activity in
the Washington Cathedral, and young
men will be educated for the Holy
Ministry. Sunday school instruction
is also projected on systematic plan.
III. AS a centre of missionary ac-
tivity, the Washington Cathedral is
sending out its missionaries to the
weak places of the diocese and helping
small congregations to sustain their
work. Especially is this the plan for
some of the country parishes in South
ern Maryland
~. The Cathedral is a great aid to
the Bishop. 1t affords him such CO.
operation through its corps of canons
and other agencies that he is relieved
from a great deal of routine, and can
dev)te himself more exclusively to
spiritual work.
V. AS a centre of social service, the
Cathedral affords opportunity for fear
less preaching. The parish minister :
may sometimes shrink from offending
some rich contributor, but the Cath
edral preacher can proclaim the mes
sage of God without limitations.
DR.. Deyries was cordilly greeted by
his personal friends and the mem
bers of the congregation at the close
of the service

MIDDIES' ESCAPADE.
Take A Swim In Chilly Waters OF
Severn To Escape Detection
Second CIassmen On A Lark
'Tis Said.

More news 20 the square inch is
now given out from the Naval Acad-
emy unofficially of course, by a dapper
little reporter, who was a one time
would-ibe MILDLY, but was one of those
who "went in just to say he had
BEEN" with apologies to Professor
Stevens than was ever permitted to
ooze into the melting pot of the print
ing Office before.
"Dapper" reporterS A good word,
for the letters in dapper would spell
the one-time middy's name, with one
letter to spare. So eager is he to get
Naval Academy news" that he must
sleep nights with one eye open on Ban
croft Hall. and his ear to the Aca-
demic Building. However, he stands
in somehow and somewhere, and a syn
dicate of New York papers has scooped
him up, and they, incidentally scoop
all the other papers.
The dapper little reporters latest
effusion appeared Saturday in the
New York Herald-that big daily edi-
tion of the Navy Bible-thus:
After keeping a supper date with
two chorus girls from Baltimore last
night, two members of the second
class of midshipmen had to swim the
Severn river to escape being caught
absent without leave.
at was shortly after s o. clock when
two forms in long citizens overcoats
jumped the brick wall in the rear of
Simpson Row Once in the city of An
napolis the two middies in the over
coats hurried to a hotel block away,
where the chorus girls were waiting
for them. Then came the supper.
Many bottles bearing white label and
tin foil passed through the door of the
private dining room wherein the fu
ture admirals were feastiRg the girls.
"The party over, the midshipmen,
still in overcoats, escorted their
friends to a railway station, and after
seeing them safely on their way to
Baltimore. started for the Academy.
But getting in was not as easy as get
ting out. Everywhere watchmen
seemed to be looking for midshipmen
who might have "Frenched.
"They discarded the overcoats and
lowered themselves into the chilly
waters of the Severn. To the small
crowd that gathered it looked as if the
swimmers were going to Norfolk.
They struck out for the bay. They
circled, however, and reached the sea
wall to windward of the gun sheds.
In dripping clothes they went back to
their quarters. They escaped detec-
tion." This story is fake, pure and
simple, and is declared so by city and
naval authorities.

FAKES STILL COMING.
Latest Pipe Dream From Annapolis I,
A Literal Bird Mythical Twins
And Unknown Sea CAPTAIN.

Once more Annapolis springs into
prominence in the out-of-town pa oers.
and is today advertised as the place
from which goes forth a wild, deep sea
yarn of a skipper who married the
wrong twin, when he started to elope.
Getting the New York Herald news
service--and being apparently unaware
of the unreliable sources from which
some Of this great papers Annapolis
news has been coming recentlv-the
Baltimore Sun today prints wild
story about Capt. Harry d. Edwards,
of the schooner May II. having Satur-
day night eloped with a Kent Island
girl whom he at the time thought was
Mary Har -ison, but who. il was later
found out, was Betty Harrison. the
twin sister of Mary.
That is the gist of the story! There
was mass of glittering generalities,
all of which are improbabilities on
their face. In addition to the-utter
"fshiness" of the yarn ON its face,
the closest possible inquiry along the
water front this morning failed to re-
veal the slightest trace of any such
SVat aS biiS MAI y H. ot any knOWl-
edge of such person as Captain Ed
wards. The Annapolis watermen
know practically every small boat that
plies the Chesapeake as at one
time or another they all get into this
port. Captain Edwards and his Ely
ing Dutchman," the May H., have
never been heard of in these parts.
The Capital makes errors-many
of them-but never prints fakes. in
fact no one does except space writer's
who must have something to offer
the papers that will "bite" on such
stuff, and the Baltimore Sun cor
respondent is not the type of man
who can be accused of taking, al
though while the Sun continues to
use reprint matter from other papers,
she will be put in an embarrassing
position, as long as the latest addition
to the fraternity OF scribes remains in
town.

Perhaps it was nothing original in
the Commission to point out that the

mission made its investigation, but
like all revolutionizing ideas, it has
necessarily made slow progress.
The girl, sooner or later-they will
hope SO, anyway-must be a home
maker, for herself and others. So it is
necessary that she, too, should have
her school life concern itself with
what is to be of such supreme import
vnce to her future. The arts and scien-
ces which deal with food and health
and housing-the rudiments of these
snd some proficiency in them, should
be acquired by every girl in the rural
