TERRIFIC STORMS
 DEVASTATE GULF TOWNS
A. p. A. Service.


 GALVESTON, Aug. 1.-The city Is passing through one of the worst storms in it's history and even the great storm in the nineties so disas- trous to the town is hardly comparable to the hurricane sweeping in from the gulf today
 So far there have been but five lives lost, three of which were killed by falling objects, but millions of property have been destroyed and the city is flooded along the entire water front. In many sections the waters are five feet in depth. To add to the horrors of wind and water, several fires start ed and ragged without check until noth- ing was left upon which to feed Luckily none of the conflagrations oc cured in the more thickly settled sec tions or the losses would have been enormous. As it is the property loss will reach at least two million.

Don,ts For Parents.

Here are some very important donts
for parents: Don't forget that chill
dren, like plants, suffer seriously from
want of sunlight. Don't forget that
children are more seriously affected by
impure air than grown people Don't
forget that little children are easily
depressed by gloomy surroundings, and
this lowers their vitality. Don't for
get that lowered vitality makes chill
dren more liable to catch any infec-
tious disease.
Don't think that any room in the
house will do for the nursery. The
sunniest, most airy and most cheerful
room In the house should be given to
the children IL you want them to be
healthy. Don't shake or scold child
who wakes up and cries out in the
night. Often night terrors are a pure
ly nervous affection, and any harsh
ness only makes matters worse. Don't
say "don't" to your little ones. Re-
member to tell the child what he Is to
do. not what he is not to do.
It often happens that little children,
especially those nervous or highly
strung, are disposed to keep on crying
when they get started. When you
wish a child to stop sobbing get him
Ao take q good drink Of cold water. II
almost always win stop the SObbins
ammediately.

The Chesapeake Bay Dog.

The most remarkable characteristic
of the Chesapeake is his retrieving.
He has been developed for retrieving
ducks, and snaturallyr should be well
litted.ifor that purpose But IT.. is my,
firm conviction that ha would retrieve
a horse If told to do so, bringing 1t to
you. in pieces If he couldn't boat 1t
home, The one, definite aim in breed
ing him has been to malieE the best pos
sible retriever, and If ever a breeders
aim succeeded 1t has succeeded in this
instance. ,,0
A Chesapeake will fetch anything ON
earth that is within his physical pow
ers to move or handle If you take
him to the water and do not throw
anything in for him to go after he will
bring you oysters on his own account.
He brings bricks and stones and clubs
ioyfully. Old Beaver long a prize
winner and now just about to leave
US for the happy hunting ground, has
worn his teeth down to stubs, like an
old bears teeth. carrying hard objects.
Almost any Chesapeake will show the
same condition Of mouth.-Outing.

THE BOYS CHRISTMAS.
Several "Thinss" That Please the Small
Men Of the Family.

Leaving out any question of the ben
eficial effect upon boys OF certain
Christmas gifts, there is a long list,
any one Of which will give pleasure
pure and simple, without any moral re-
iections. A good flag Of United States
standard make, with pole and fitting
for window casing, delights a boy
and adds to his patriotism.
OF course a wheel" is most ac-
ceptable gift, or If he has one some ad-
ditions to his outfit, lantern, bell,
cyclometer or rack. or sweater,
which, IL he does not own, he wants.
In the same connection football,
regulation" bat and ball, tennis
racket, set of dumbbells, all suggest
themselves to suit the tastes for diff
ferent out of door sports
A bag of marbles, the bag made OF
duck or coarse linen and his initial
embroidered on it, will find welcome,
particularly If 1t holds reals"
Most of the fathers of the boys Of to-
day never dreamed Of having n watch
until they were of age, many Of them
not until they earned one, but pretty
watches that are also good timepieces
are so cheap and plentiful nowadays
that boys of eight and nine aspire to
them. Any boy who has u. wornout
watch or none at all will be pleased
with one at Christmas. A good chain,
strong II not expensive, should go with
II. Studs, sleeve buttons and scarfpins
please boys, and an addition to their
stock of neckwear is never objection
able.
Guns and rl6es-the mere mention Of
them makes boys eyes snap. Only
the coolest and most sensible, however,
should be trusted with them. 1t is al
most better indeed, when thinking Of
buying one for any lad under twenty,
TO follow Pmch's matrimonial advice,
Don't" But how a boy loves them!
He will fondle gun as girl does her
doll, patting 1t gently and passing his
hands over stock. trigger and muzzle,
while his eyes shine with longing or,
II he owns 1t, with actual affection.

Men Who Wear Feathers.

Among the strange tribes of men
about whom little is known are the
Chamacocos Of the region about the
upper Paraguay river
Although the Chamacocos wear but
little clothing, they excel in the art of
making personal adornments from the
feathers of birds. Their country
abounds with birds of the most beauti'
full plumage. including parrots, tou-
cans and trogons, whose feathers are
dazzling in color; rheas with gray
plumes, musk ducks Of a glossy black
color egrets with feathers of pure
white and spoonbils Of delicate pink
hue
All this wealth of color and graceful
plumage is combined by the Chamaco-
cos in a most artistic manner. Some OF
these savages walk their forest glades

In picnic ground in the Passaic val
ley there is a spring that flows only on
Sundays and holidays. 1t used to flow
always. Robert E. Horton, in the pro-
ceedings of the Connecticut Society of
Civil Engineers. explains this strange
performance. When the great silk mills
sprang up in the Passaic valley numer-
GUS artesian wells were bored into the
red sandstone; pumps draw out so
much water that it now normally
stands below the level of the spring
outlet. but on Sundays and holidays
the pumps are not working, the water
rises above the level Of the spring, and
this flows again.

SWAPPING THE WAR
DOGS HARELIP Is FIXED
Milwaukee Surgeon Performs Success.
full Operation on Blooded
Boston Bull Pup.

Milwaukee.-The craze for flesh and
bone carpentry has reached Milwau-
kee dogdom. Because its mistress did
not like the appearance Of the harelip
worn by Lady Abbot, blooded Boston
bull pup, the animal has been in a dog
hospital to have the lip fixed by the
knife and needle.
Lady Abbot was the runt of her lit
ter and, though three months old, now
weighs only a pound A Boston bull,
1t appears, can be beautiful in its own
Boston bull way, and to make Lady
Abbot beautiful it was necessary to
cut open the lip on each side of the
seam, and then sew the lip up again,
a dozen stitches being needed for this
operation.
The operation was a success, and
Lady Abbot is now recovering. She
is the property of Mrs. John Hart
kopf, wife of the head Of the city nata-
forums, and the operation is the first
Of its kind on record on a dog.
