Gray's Inn and War.

Gray's Inn square and the beautiful
gardens close by are in these days
alive with recruits being licked into
shape, and the old walls are echoing
back words Of command through all
the daylight hours Not since Sir Sam
uel Romily stood at the Holborn gate
to repel the Gordon rioters, should
they chance to turn furious eyes upon
the benehers' property, has the inn
presented such a warlike appearance.
Once. long before, did Grays inn send
out an armed force on its own ac-
count. That was when hundred
gentlemen of the inn," armed with
budgeons. sailed forth to do battle
with the workmen engaged in building
Red Lion square, this form OF de
veloplng" the pleasant fields to the
west of their inn not meeting with
the approval of the said gentlemen.-

War Talk Kills This Dog.

A prize police or army dog, owned
by c. c. Sunstrum of this city, killed
itself recently, says a Geneva dispatch
to the New York Sun. MIR. Sunstrum,
an athlete, had carefully trained his
dog since it was puppy. or late Mr..
Sunstrum has talked frequently OF re-
turning to Germany, and he discussed
the prospect of war frequently with
companions and others, Sunstrum de-
clares the dog took particular interest
in the talk, showing it by his move
ments and the manner in which ne
would cling to his master.
When the dog evinced this interest
Mr.. Sunstrum would frequently de-
clare he would come back and get the
dog after the war in case he left this
country. The other night he left
the pet tied with chain on porch
at his home.
When he returned late in the eve
ming he found the dog had jumped over
the railing OF the porch. and the chain
had drawn the collar about his neck
and strangled him. Friends Of the
owner believe the dog thought 1t had
los. rs master and ended its life.

Football and a Clergyman.

The more recreation we have the
less vice there will be in the country,
and | regard the football match on a
Saturday afternoon as one Of the best
possible devices to keep men in the
purity of the open air I believe that
the increase of sport is the biggest
factor in the increase of temperance,
and go so far as to say ii you take the
Church of England away from London
you remove the greatest sporting in

there is evident the effort to make
housekeeping easier and, in fact, a
pleasure. TOO often 1t Is found that
interior convenience is sacrificed to
exterior ornamentation. Many times
more effort is given to mere show than
to utility and convenience.
The days of the old parlor are past.
This was a room shut off from all the
other rooms, opened only when the
minister called, when sister got mar
ried, or when the sewing society met.
It was room jealousy protected
against invasion by the youngsters Of
the household: and II one of the boys
ventured across the dead line at the
doorway there was nothing short of a
tragedy
Now, however, people have outgrown
this. Today. If parlor exists, 1t is

Based on Superstition.

1t is easy to understand how some
of the precious stones have acquired
their reputation for occult virtues,
The worldfamous belief in "sympa-
thetic' magic accounts for many of
them; it is form of homeopathy
based on the maxim that similia sim.
ilbus curantur, but unscientifically
accepting any trace Of similarity as
adequate. Thus yellow stones, like
the beryl or topaz, were thought to
cure jaundice. Any red stone would
check hemorrhage, though the blood
stone par excellence is a dark-green
chalcedony or jasper, splashed with
red markings like blood drops. We
may hazard a guess that the we'll
known power of the amethyst to pre-
vent drunkenness, hitherto unex-
planned. may have originated in its
resemblance in color to the nose of
the confirmed drunkard.

The bungalow, like war, is one Of
the ideas savage races gave to civilI-

different tropical countries that had no
