Many hundred years ago there lived at Athens a dog whose faithfulness has caused him to be roentioned in history. and In the Grecian city his story is often repeated. The dog guarded one of the heathen temples at Athens. One night a thief stole into this building and carried off some of the most valuable treasures. The dog vainly barked his lo:lest to frighten the thief and to rouse the keepers as the man went off with the jewels. But the faithful dog did not mean to lose sight of the rascal, and all through the night he followed him. By daybreak the poor animal had be come very weary, but still he kept the robber in sight. The latter tried to feed him, and as lie made friendls with the passersby he tool: it from them in stead. Whenever the thief stopped to rest the dog remained near him, and soon a report went through the coun try of the animal's strange behavior. The keepers of the temple, hearing the story, went in search of the dog. and they found him still at the heels of the thief at a town called Cronyon. The robber was arrested, taken back to Athens and there punished. The judges were so pleased with the dog's sagacity and faithfulness that they or dered him to be fed every day for the rest of his life at the public expense.

ATTORNEYN AT LA V, YID & THARP. t'lCTITIONER~S OF ME:DTCINE ANI) SURGERY. Cis promp~ltly answer-ed day or' night PolsonoC, Effects of Weariness. The eating of "high" game is Un doubtedly attended v:-ith risks. and the poisonous effects are probably due to the toxins produced i:1 the earlier stages of the putrefactive process. The advantage, of coure'. of hanging game is that the aelsh h e'ones tender and decidedly imore digestible than when it is quite fresh. The ripening proc ess, however, may mean the elabora tion of toxins. It has beC. stated that the produc tion of the characteristic tiavors of game is related directly to the amount of sulphuretted hydrogen or sulphl alcohol set free. but it is rather re pulsive to think that the delicate flavor of game Is dependent upon that invari able product of decomposition of rot ten eggs-sulplhureted hydrogen. The smell evolved during cooking of "high" game is even more disgusting. Fresh game sometimes sets up mys terious poisonous symptoms which have been attributed to the fact of the game having been overhunted a nti fatigued. Fatigue products indeed have been separated from overhunted game which, when Injected into a healthy animal. have produced marked poisonous effects. There is no doubt that fatigue products under certain cir cumstances are also elaborated in the human body nud give rise to a species of self poisou:g. characteristic symp toms of which are headache, stupor and gastric and intestinal pains. The flesh of overdriven cattle may prove poisonous from the same cause. Lancet. How Weather Works Wonders. Not the least mysterious of all the wonders of the earth is the extraor dinary cleverness of Dame Nature as a carver and designer. Her tools -art air, rain, rivers, springs and frost. Any one who has ever seen the mar velous Queen Ress rock on the North Cornish coast. that wonderful present ment of the great Queen Elizabeth, who Is seated so grandly upon the sands, must have asked himself the question as to how such a thing could have been accomplished. Continuous trickling of water wears away the face of the rock. Haphaz ard it was until at last a weird pat tern is formed that sometimes resem bles a man's face, sometimes an ani mal. All over the world Nature has placed her picture gallery and her col lection of statuary, the biggest free show in the world. Another work of Nature's that very often results in extraordinary changes being effected is a landslip. And landslips have arisen from the tiniest possible causes. A little un derground flow of water had gradually undermined a hill or cliff until at last the earth became like a hollow nut. Then the soil became top heavy. The sea beat against its foundations, and millions of tons of earth were flung into the sea, which proves the axiom that the tiniest beginnings often pro duce the mightiest ends. Selecting Glassware. To select glass with discretion it is necessary to understand somewhat of its manufacture and to recall the prop erties of the chemicals of which it is composed. These materials are chiefly soda. pctash, lime, alumina and oxide of lead. The quality of the glass to be manufactured depends upon the amount of the basic material united with the silca or sand. The best glass Is made with lead, which gives to it luster, fusibility and high refractory powers. It is often called flint glass to distinguish it from lime glass, which Is much cheaper and of a decidedly green ish tint. Flint glass is that which is most gen erally used for cutting and polishing. It may be picked out by the clear, bell like tone which it sends forth when struck. This test may be made without any danger of breaking the glass if it be held firmly in one hand while the upper part or edge is sharply struck with a pencil or other Instrument, the only care requisite being to sete that the glass does not touch any object when It is struck, since if there be room for it to vibrate glass will never break.

King and Wefttworth Sts., CH A RLESTON. S. C. Kmtemener -ade -1cr Tremble. During the Anglo-Boer war a smart, good looking married woman of about 30 years cf age actcd as a Boer spy. She was iarrield to a Russian civil en gireer resident at Johannesburg. and at the outbreai: of war the "slim' Transvaalers sent her over the border labeled "dangerous." She established herself at Cape Town and soon man aged to extract information from im pressionable English officers. A corre spondent who met this clever woman in Cape Town said: "When Lord Kitchener of Khartum arrived in Africa, she went to meet him, for she knew that if she could get inside his secrets she could learn all things. She made it her business to come casually in contact with the Egyptian sphinx. She ran her eyes over the tall, gaunt figure. the rugged, ugly face. She looked into the promil neat, all seeing eyes and knew at a glance that she was face to face with a magnetism stronger than her own. and nothing would induce ner to go near him again. 'That is the iot danger ous man in Britain.' she said. '1 feel as if I were within the shadow of death when I am near him. Ile is a man for men to conquer. No womau can reach Lin to use hi:n. IIe would read me like an open book in an hour, and I believe he would shoot me as he would shoot a Kailir if he caght me red handed. I will try all other men, but not that living death's head. No wonder he conquered in Egypt. I think he would conquer in hades.'" Wide Trousers. Narrow Streets. La Lucha of Havana in a long edi torial "giving fits" to American visitors to Cuba generally comes out strong in defense of Cuban trousers and of the narrow streets of the Cuban capital. It says: "One frequently hears Americans ridicule what they call 'Cuban trou sers,' thereby betraying their own crass ignorance. For Instance, one of the coolest materials for men to wear Is alpaca. To make close fitting trousers of it or of any other thin material would prove disastrous; consequently in all tropical countries the loose trou sers are worn, and persons who visit Mexico, Central and South America cr India grow rapidly accustomed to them. Furthermore, the shape affect ed here so much is the height of fash ion in France. "Again, the statement is frequently made that the streets of Havana should be 'widened and made modern.' Gross ignorance is again displayed. All trop ical cities are built with narrow streets, as that is the only way In which pedes trians can be given shade during part of the day. By stepping out on to the Prado at 2 p. m. from Obispo or Obra pia the difference in temperature on wide and narrow streets may be noted." The Pie Foundry. A man who recently visited a ple factory In Chicago thus describes it: "The day we were there a special run was being made on pumpkin pies, and I looked In vain for any signs of pumpkin rinds. One of the foremen grinned and told me in strict confi dence that real pumpkin was never used in pumpkin pies at present ex cept possibly in a few remote and very primitive New England villages. The substitute was a mixture of sweet po tatoes, apples and cheap flour flavored with a chemical extract. I tasted some of the stuff and was satisfied he was telling me the truth. "Cranberry pie contains only enough cranberries to 'make a showing.' after the manner of the oyster in the church fair stew. The rest Is apple jelly col ored red and flavored. I have forgot ten the other substitutes employed, but these will give you a general idea of the morality of the business. "The average output of the foundry was one a second, or about 30.000 pies for a working day. The manager told me they were shipped all over the pie belt in specially prepared crates." German Law of Libel. The German law of libel is a curiosi ty. An editor recently said in his pa per that a certain gentleman "was an unmannerly boor." in conseqluence of which a libel action was brought against the paper. The evidence given seemed to show that the only fault with the expression was that it was not strong enough. The case was taken from court to court in the usual way until it reached the highest tribunal. The final decision was that the editor would have been perfectly justified If e bad said that the plaintiff "had act ed like an unmannerly boor." but since e had said that the plaintiff actually "was an un mannerly broor" he had Icommitted libel, in Germnauy it is li belous to call a man a pig or an ass. but if you combine the twvo and call a man a pig ass then there is no libel, be cause such an animal does not exist. IThe favorite combination among Ger mans is, we believe, pig dlog-schweine hund.-Chambthers' .Iournal. Our Little Sticks.

"What?" "Yes, I repeat-trousers. Just you listen. On my birthday my wife got me three or four beautiful lace hand kerchiefs. such as women carry at aft ernoon teas and such places. and a black velvet hat with high feathers, one of the three story kind that ob struct your view of the stage in the theater. They looked mighty well on her. and she asked me if I wasn't hay ing a nice birthday. "Well, I didn't mind that very much, but when Christmas camae I got anoth er deal of the same sort. i gave my wife a pretty gold ring. She gave :ae a turquoise rinZ too small to go over any of my knuckles, and she wears it now next to the one I gave her. But that wasn't the worst of it. She got her sister to give me sonic after dinner coffee cups and my sister to make me a lot of lace doilies. That was all I got for Christmas. "Tomorrow is my wife's birthday. In this package I am bringing her a pair of trousers which I had made to my measure and which I shall wear. In this parcel is a pair of the very best patent shoes, size 8. a good deal too big for my wife: in this package is a box of cigars, and In my pockets I have a new meerschaum pipe and a packet of tobacco. Now. I don't see how she can fail to have a happy hlrth day. Do you? I hope she'll enjoy it, for I want to get even for all the pret ty things she has given me."-London Tit-Bits. THEY WERE ALL SCARED. A Cale of Highway Robbery With a Peculiar Ending. What the hero of this story kicks about is the fact that his wife forgot her sacred word never to say anything regarding it. His business keeps him out late. and he frequently carries con siderable money. When footpads are reported in evidence. he gets as near home as he can by street car and then takes the best lighted route to his house. One night he had reached the front of his own place and had just drawn a long sigh of relief when the order "Hands up:" startled him into compli ance. One man held a gun in the ti mediate neighborl:iod of his ear and another systematically robbed him of everything worth carrying off. The or der then was that he walk arcund the block so as to defer the use of his tele phone, and it was clearly stated that any attempt to turn back, run or call for help would result In his being assassinated. Before he reached the corner it struck him that the voice of one of the men sounded familiar and then that its owner was a near neighbor greatly given to practical joking. Back he went on tiptoes, his revolver In his right hand, and surprised the footpads as they were dividing the spoils. He made them lay everything on the walk, and when they straightened up await ing the next erder he discovered that both were total strangers. His hand dropped from sheer terror, and then the robbers ran one way, while he sprinted the other. Half an hour later he, his wife and a lantern, a revolver and the hired girl went out and found hi money, watch, papers and diamond pin. His wife simply ruined the story by telling it first.-Detrolt Free Press. A Clever Canary. A lady who had lost a canary hap pened to be attracted by a bird that was hopping about in Its cage in the front window of a house In New York. Thinking that It looked very like her own, she knocked at the house door and asked a few questions about it. She was told that it had been found one cold morning sitting on the win dow sill and was taken In and cared for. The lady said her bird could per form the pretty feat of picking up a pin and sticking it in the carpet. Be ing allowed to test this bird. the cage door was openea and a pin thrown on the floor. The canary at once flew down to It. picked it up [a its bill anld cleverly stuck it upright in the carpet. after which it bui'st into song, as if re joicing at its success. The folk of the louse, believing the lady had proved her ownership of the bird, permitted her, says Little Folks, to take the songster away to her home. On the Edge. A little boy fell out of the bed at his home in Idlewild some nights ago, and when his mother and some of the oth er members of the family teased him about it he felt very much as if he had done somethin.g disgi'acefuil and cried as if his little heart would break. His, mother saw that she was on tae wrong tack. so she ceased to tease him and ma~de the otheris quit doing so and made a1 show'i of sympathiy by asking: "- ly('chli, lhow on earth didl you coec to fall out of led'" "I (d0n't know. m~other."~ he replied, "unless I went to sleep) right where I got in."-M emiiis Se'imitar.
