JUDGE OF HUMAN NATURE.

Dogs are unerring judges Of hu-

hypocrisy, snobbery and fear. It is
. wise young man who at that criti-
eel period Of his life when he is
seeking to double his expenses aud
divide his income in matrimony,
takes his dog with him when he
goes counting. If he let's the dog
pick out the girl the chances are
that he will get a paragon of virtue
with no divorce coupon attached.
The girl who knows the way to q
dogs heart has a heart of her own

LONDON CREATES FASHIONS.

Although Paris undoubtedly has
long been the fashion arbiter for the
women Of Europe, London of late
has been making rival claims in that
regard and in some instances not un-
justifable by the fact that where
British approval has been lacking
Partisan innovations have died a
speedy death. One London dress
making establishment that pretends
to be the equal in prominence of the

ing especially attractive and purely

that these are to be taken as the alb

SERBS ARE A PEASANT PEOPLE.

The inhabitants of the Balkan

whose home life might be copied
with advantage by the populations
living under the rule of the great
powers of Europe. The Servian
practices the art of cooperation,
while civilized people are learning its

Slurring of words over the te;e-

fee took on signs of business, with
orders going to town for several
reams of white paper.

ure that the fees to the state would
amount to $500 for copying alone.

as.he looked at his computation o.
the cost.
"Better confirm it," suggested the

was for 1885 copies"

HYPNoTlsM RESTORED VOICE
Nightmare Had Caused Man to Lose
the Power Of Speech for More
Than Four Years.

After being dumb for more than
four years, David Newell Shutter
of III Milton street, Long Island
City, has had his power of speech
restored to him by means of hyp-
notism.
DR.. Alfred J. Fox Of e1O Fifty
sixth street, Manhattan, who effected
the cure, declared that Shutters all
ment probably was caused by ner-
Sous shock, resulting from night
mare. The doctor examined the
mans throat and became convinced
that there was no organic disorder,
and that it was case Of paralysis
due to shock. He decided, therefore,
that the case did not require the adj
ministering of medicine, but that
hypnotism would do more good, and,
accordingly, started to treat the case
along these lines.
After the first treatment, which
was about two months ago, Shutter
showed signs of improvement, and
has been improving ever since, until
now he has practically the same pow
er of speech that he had before he
became afflicted. As far as tones and
infections are concerned, the case is
cured, but there still remains the
necessity of strengthening the vocal
cords, which have become, so to
speak, rusty through nonuse.

Although the story is worn almost
threadbare, "Bilp' insists upon re-

cry opportunity: .
The farmers, John and Jake, met
at crossroads with loaded teams.
They paused to pass the. local small
talk.
"John," said his friend, "did ye
hear O. the accident down at Reeds
corners?"
"Nary q word" replied John.
"Well," continued Jake, "ye'll re-
member Ike Robinson's hotel, the
Lakeside Travellers Rest A troupe
o Uncle Toms Cabin people put
up at the Corners last week, and Ike
gave the. leading lady the biggest
room in the house, the old parlor
on the first floor"
The old man paused meditativcly.
"Yes?' queried John.
can that's how Ike came to lose
his right eye"
Glow did it happen?" asked John.
Through accident?"
"Nope," answered Jake. Through
the kcyhole."
