HAVE A CERTAIN USE
pAMPEREb NEW YORK DOGS FUR.
NIsh LIVING FOR MANY.
All Sorts Of Attendance Called for BY
Their Fond Owners-Boardln9
Houses at Which High Prices
Arc Charged.

Those Of US who have been reared
in a different sort Of society are apt
to have considerable contempt for the
cribbed, fattered and confined dog OF
New York, writes the Cincinnati
Times-Star correspondent We're used
to the other sort Of dog-the dog
that gets his muddy feet all over your
new pants in his rainy day happiness,
and almost growls his head of when
the minister comes visiting, and goes
under the barn when a tramp knocks
at the back door. Our sort OF dog ID
mostly mutt, and completely loses his
self-respect when his affections are
engaged. He really lives to grovel,
legs up about his masters feet. and
to snuggle a wet nose into a friendly
hand. Whereas the New York dog, as
seen on any Of the residence streets
before 8 o'clock in the morning and
after in the evening, leading an un'
happy human by leash, is snob-
bish, arrogant, horribly bored teast.
He might become a regular dog II he
had the chance, but fate condemns
him to be snuffled over by dumpy
dowagers and led ABOUT the streets by
indignant but cowal dly husbands. AT
first thought one holds him entirely
useless, but a more careful survey
discovers him to be the support or
many a man and woman who might
otherwise have to work. There are
half dozen boarding houses for dogs,
for example, in which the cost or
board ranges from SO to 81 week de-
pending on the size of the dog and
the quality of the accommodations,
There are at least two dog cemeteries
which have proved profitable invest
ments for their stockholders. There
are three or four dog hospitals which
are always filed, and in which the
cost Of treatment runs pretty close to
that OF the second rate hospital for
humanity One dog doctor keeps
stable Of trained nurses on hand. who
will respond to calls at any hour OF
the day or night. and charge as much
for nursing dog az other nurses 90
for nursing a baby. There are half
score OF dog manicurists and at least
one dog miniature painter and two
coat specialists" and innumerable
trainers, who teach tricks to the pets
OF the rich-and incidentally beat
some slight respect for their masters
into them. There are two homes,
In which cast-off dogs are cared for,
and one establishment In which the
last days Of the aged and dying dog
may be made comparatively happy
at a price Many dollar Is picked
up by the photographers for portray.
Ing dog poses, and scores Of men and
women boys and girls, find 1t easier
to make living BY giving dogs their
regular daily exercise than by work
Ing in shops. Altogether, the New
York dog isn't completely useless. II
he Is non-producer himself, he
makes his indulgent mistress produce
pretty regularly-and aids in speeding
up the New York dollar,

SIZE OF PATTERNS INCREASE.

A Washington department store
manager has estimated that the in
crease in the size OF patterns for

Bierney. president of the local organ

Mrs. Birney agrees with the Russian
Countess Cazarine to the effect that
Washington girls are too slender, but
ACIDS that they are improving. The
feet of the Washington girl are get

Senate Of Samos.

The Second Chamber OF Samos must
be about the smallest in the world.
Four persons. representing the four
districts of the island, constitute the
Samian senate. They are chosen by
the prince from list of eight annual
ly submitted by the National assem-
bly, and their qualifications are 80
years of age and ability to read and
write.
A debate in the Samian senate can
not be very tremendous affair. But
we recall that it WIS to Samians over
1000 years ago that the Spartans gave
a lesson against verbosity. Having
heard the eloquent tale of the Samian
exiles, they said: 1--WE have forgot
ten the first part OF your speech, and
do not understand the rest" Then
the Samians brought an empty wallet
and said, Our wallet has no meal in
It," Your wallet il superfluous," said
the Spartans, meaning that either the
actual wallet or this word was unnec-
essary.

NAILS MUST BE WELL KEPT
No Amount Of Care That Can Be Ex-
pended on Them Should Be Con-
sldered Misplaced.

Begin the daily manicuring by fl
ing the nails to pretty oval; then
soak them in soft rain water mixed
with glycerin and rosewater. If any
ragged edges appear at the corners
of the softened nails they should be
trimmed off with the scissors and
the orange-stick should be applied to
push the skin away from the nail. At
this point the nails may be most
readily cleansed with soft brush
dipped in soap and tepid water
Never clean nails with sharp in
strument, for that scratches both
flesh and nail, making both retain
dust and look coarse and ugly. Dirt
may be worked from under nails
roughened by sharp instrument
through the use of vaseline under tho
nail, or by dipping the point Of the
orange wood stick in lemon juice and
gently rubbing away any obstinate
stain. Stains at the corners Of tho
nails, too, may be removed in this
way after soaking the fnger-tips in
warm, soapy water.
Last of all, the nails are polished
by rubbing pink manicure salve over
them and polishing it off by means OF
a chamosskin buffer and some mani
cure powder. A dull polish, not the
effect of a brilliant enamel, is con-
sidered refined.
Wellkept finger nails presuppose
refinement, and no matter what sort
Of hands women are blessed or cursed
with, polite society demands that their
finger nails shall be pink, almond
shaped and In perfect condition. The
shape may not be good to begin with.
but a vast amount Of improvement
will come with careful treatment.

the second act was half over that he
half leaped out of his seat and then
subsidized, very white, very determined,
and sick with the sudden upwelling OF
memory. For this was his play, and
in it he had told the story Of his own
tragedy.
It was a common enough story
that of the separation of two lovers.
1t had happened to him three years
before, when his fiancee, Lillian Wal
tiers, and he had had their quarrel
But both were proud and both were
young; and 80 the little quarrel had
become a big one, and finally he had
left her In anger, to find when he
was ready to ask forgiveness that she
had gone away. He had found no
trace OF her since that day, though
he had sought far and wide. Once she
had had literary aspirations, too; he
had hoped to hear Of her in some OF
the magazine offices, but she had dis

He watched the development OF the
drama. the tragedy that set forth,
word by word, line by line, an In.

heart. 1t was his! 1t was he who
had written this and offered 1t to q
manager the year before, hoping that
In the final stage reconciliation Lillian
would read his own hopes and
dreams; that she would see 1t and re-
member their love and come back to
him. And the play, rejected every

to enable some manager to make

He would 60 to her after the act

He could not see her face through

GREATEST POWER IN NATURE

A recent storm on the British coast

devise motors to develop power from

Tea,s CONQUEST of Rome.

OF all the c~onquerors that have
come to Rome no one has gained such
a complete victory as tea has won in
the Italian capital. Twenty years ago
the British and American tourists who
came to Rome were catered to in the
matter of tea in a rather shamefaced
tanner in the strangers quarter near
the Piazza di Spagna, and English
Tea Rooms was the legend to be
seen in a few windows hard by Cook
& Sons offices.
Nowadays the palm lounges Of the
Grand and the Excelsio hotels at tea
time are two Of the sights Of Rome,
for all Roman society drinks tea
abroad in the afternoons, and there
are as many uniforms at 5 o'clock in
the big hotels as there are at shutdown
on band days on the Pincan hill. All
the big pastry cooks shops in the
Corso and the other principal streets
now have Afternoon Tea" in gold
letters or their plate glass windows.

COULDN'T HAVE DOME BETTER
Marriage Arrangement Seemed Some

LA Gee1FHLH A#aFIALl
George A. Birmingham. the widely
known writer, says there is no coun-
try in the world where marriage. at
least in the peasant class, is more q
matter OF bargaining and yet shows a
higher average OF stability and SON
tent than Ireland. Sometimes the
man has never seen the woman be-
fore they are brought together, the
precise number OF pounds, sows. or
pigs to be handed over having been
by that time settled.
This Is illustrated in personal recol-
lections just published by an Irish
woman. She was visiting with an
aunt at a cottage in the neighborhood,
and admired a fine mahogany chest OF
drawers.
Twas for that l was married."
said the mistress OF the cottage. A
young farmer had also seen and adj
mired. A bargain was struck. There
was no money, but the bride was to
have a couple of sheep, a yearling
bullock and the chest. The prudent
young man measured it, and then
