Made the Hen So Nervous.

A woman who lives in the Country club district has large back yard in which she keeps a few chickens. Her chickens have become something more than mere egg producers to her, in fact she regards them affection ately and respects their rights and feelings. One day a plumber was at work installing pipes at a house near by. To bore a hole through the rock he set of a light blast. The explosion jared the house of the woman with the chickens.
 Gathering her skirts in her hands she made straight for the place where the plumber was at work.
 You much stop that blasting this minute," she exclaimed.
 The plumber protested that it was such a light charge it couldn't possi- ply do any damage to window panes or crockery.
 That doesn't make any difference" !" said the woman emphatically, I've got a sitting hen. She's afraid it'll break the eggs and it distracts her dreadfully." y."-Kansas City Star.

Maine Woods Tragedy.

Because some small boys drank Whit Toothaker's. and Han Vining's sap, replacing the contents of the sap buckets with water, Messrs. Toothaker and Vining both express the opinion that this has been a mighty unsatis- factory syrup season. With visions of gallons of golden syrup the men tapped their naples and waited pa tiently for a run of sap. It came as they supposed, and when they gath cred the well-filled buckets their eyes glistened in anticipation of the treat in store. Then came the boiling pro- cess. High rose the flames about the pans and kettles, but still higher rose the indignation of Messrs. Toothaker and Vining because the "sap" refused to turn into syrup. The liquid in the pans gave forth a vast amount of steam, but that was all there was doing. Finally both men gave up in disgust what seemed to be a hopeless task. The next day Whit said to Han, Did you get any syrup out of the sap you boiled down yesterday?" "No," replied Han, this has been a mighty poor sap year."-Maine Woods,

The Turkish Army.

Every Mahammedan subject in Turkey is liable to service, and re- mains liable for 25 years. At 21 the young Turk enters the active army, the Nizam, and remains in it for three years. He must serve six years in the reserve, called the Tchtrad, and after this he remains nine years in the army reserve, called the Redif, which resembles the German Land wehr. This reserve has a second line called the Mustaf1s, in which the cit izen liable to service is finally en- rolled.
 Every year produces about 100000 men liable to service and of this num- Der 10000 are enrolled as recruits. The remainder, that is to say, the least effective, are given drill. and they may perhaps be compared with the extra reservists of the first class in Germany. They finally find their way into the Redif. Altogether, Fur key can place a million men in the field, and as far as material is con- cerned, German officers who have in- structed Turkish troops declare that there is not an army in the world that would not rejoice to get such men.

STRANGE DOGS OF ALASKA
Most Common Breed Is the MaIamuEe or Native Dog-Are Wonderful
 Workers.

Dogs in Alaska are of all breed and
 dze, the most common being the male-
 mute, or native dog, says a writer tn
 he Wide World Magazine. The word
 'malamute'' is an Indian word mean ing Eskimo, and is applied to both | logs and natives. The malamute is of
 he wolf strain-in fact, the best of the breed are half wolf. They evince all the characteristics of the wolf, both n appearance and in manners. Ow- Ing to his wolf-like fur, the malamute can easily stand the extreme Alaskan cold. He Is a born fighter, an invet- crate thief, and somewhat of a coward, for he will seldom fight singly against lone adversary. The malamute, while well able to withstand the cold, does not seem to have the same order of in- telligence as is displayed by the out side dog, and the best dog for Alaska would seem to be a mixture of the two strains.
 Another native breed in the north
 Is the huskie, but this breed is rarer than common usage of the word would Imply. The real huskies are bred in the neighborhood of the Mackenzie river, and are more common in the ter ritory under the jurisdiction of the Hudson Bay company than in Alaska.
 Small dogs, such as fox terriers, are B rarity in Alaska, for in that country 3 dog is valuable in exact proportion to the amount he can pull A sleigh dog will weigh anything from 30 to 150 pounds, the average being about 75 pounds. It is surprising to the un- Initiated how big load dog can pull, though I must admit I have never seen or heard of a dog in Alaska pulling 1000 pounds, under the conditions de- scribed in a well-known novelist's book; nor have I ever seen or heard of a dog-fght as pictured so vividly In the story in which he graphically describes a fight where two dogs are battling for supremacy in the team, and the remainder of the dogs sit on their launches and form a ring around the contestants, who, under these conditions, I suppose, would fight it out under Marquis of Queensbury rules. I question whether such light ever occurred in natural history. If there are two Alaskan dogs fight Ing, and 40 non-interested dogs in the neighborhood, the fight will soon in- volve itself into one dog underneath and Al dogs on top. The idea of an Alaskan dog calmly sitting on his launches and coolly viewing the fight Is too funny for anything; the joke can only be appreciated by those who have seen a bunch of malamutes in a fight.

Delicious Pie Crust.

To every heaping cup of lard use four cups four (well sifted.) Lightly rub the lard well into the four by the finger tips. When all together make a hole in the center of the mixture, and gradually pour in enough ice wa ter to make a good dough. Use a sill yer knife to mix with, and handle as little as possible. Place on the ice before using. This amount will make four small pies. To keep in the juice of black or blueberry pies leave enough of both crusts to hang well over the edge of the tin, and roll 1t up as you would jelly roll.

These steps are almost imperishable, for in the concrete of which they are construct ed a generous proportion of carborun- dunn has been introduced, and since carborundum is almost as hard as the diamond, it has given the concrete wearing quality which no marble or granite could possibly approach.

Indian Tribes AmaIaamate.

Students of the Indian tell us that while the numbers of the red men are diminishing there Is a slow amalga- nation of the tribes wherever their geographical location makes this pos sible. It Is supposed that there were 100000 Indians on this continent when the Europeans settled here. In 1885 a government report showed an Indian population of 350,0O0, and 1t is estimated that the present population Is 50,000 less.

Time Brinos Improvement.

Fashions in typography change like all things mortal, but the typograph- ical fashions of 1865, as illustrated in the American Printer by a facsimile of the invitation card for the first ty- pothetae dinner, might well have been changed before they were adopted. The work of type founders and printers has certainly improved greatly in taste since the times when those crudely ornamental designs were popular.

B G BULLFROG 1SCHICKENS
Drags Young BrOilers Into Stream
and browns Them, According to
Veracious North Georgian.

ATLANTA. -Tucker Mauldin, a
well known Murray county planter,
came to Atlanta this morning with a
bullfrog eighteen inches long and as
thick through as the body OF full
grown rabbit.
Mr.. Mauldin killed the frog, which
is the largest ever seen here, while
it was trying to drag a young chick
en- into the stream which runs across
his place. Mr.. Mauldin, who is no
humorist, vouches for the story. He
says he was standing on his porch
when he heard the chicken sqHawk-
ing; he got his shotgun, thinking 1t
might be a big blacksnake or mink.
and started around behind the barn,
from where the Mise came. The
chickens shrill cries of distress led
him to the edge of branch, and on
the brink was the enormous black
and green frog, which had already
swallowed the chickens legs and a
part of it's body.
Mr.. Mauldin first rescued the
chicken. which has survived its
fright, and then killed the frog. Ii
was evidently a very old one, and
part of its head was as hard as If
covered with barnacles.
