Just what Adam wanted ft dog for when there was nothing to "sic hjm on" to is a puzzler, but it is evident Jihat the dog appeared at an early stage to this worM'fl history, and that he has •eld his own wonderfully well. No One seems to know just how many Opeciea of dog can be put on record, but the number is great enough to give us •11 a change for every day in the week. There is no country without its dogs, Mnd the poorer the country the more «iOg*, - The dogs of America are said to con­ sume $75,000 worth of provisions |Tear, and in return they bite twenty- one tramps and scare off ten or fifteen burglars. -The tramp didn't mind the bites, and the burglars wouldn't have got any boodle if left alone. The only Seasonable excuse any man can give for keeping a dog is that he wants to innoy his neighbor. There is a great many stories about dogs saving human fives, giving fire alarms, stopping run- iwaj horses, and hunting lost children, but it is not expected that anv one over 10 years of age will believe them. The cat was mewing on the plains of Jerusalem about the time the dog set <#nt to follow Adam, atitfc she came to "itay. Every natibn has its cats, and, as ft natural sequence, its rats and mice. Nature made the cat. as a sort of experi­ ment, and then had to manufacture rats and mice to give her something to do. How she does it may be inferred from the statement that the annual damage inflicted on the world by rats *nd mice is over a hundred millions of dollars. Millions of dollars is also ex­ pended for traps and poisons, while the eat dines on fried oysters and sleeps the hours away. No family should Shelter, a oat under the idea that she Will keep the mice down. They will be sure to follow her to the house to Secure safety.

The pig is a familiar object in natural history, and his origin dates back to some time before Noah had to pack up •nd go sailing. He got some pigs to So up the gang-plank and enter his rk, but that was the only instance 0ver known where the animal accom- modated anybody who was in a hurry. While there are several species and - many breeds, no one traveling abroad Into strange countries will ever mistake a pig for anything else. It was not until the year 1652 that this flesh was eaten. Up to that time his bristles were Supposed to run clear through him and clinch on the other side, and his meat tras supposed to be made up of burdock toots, old potatoes and tomato cans. There are still some people who de­ clare against pork, but when pork is a •hilling a pound codfish is only seven oents. The pig alive is of no good to anybody, but when dead his meat can be made to answer for chieken, mut­ ton, turtle, quail, venison, and pork-- bis bristles are made into camel-hair brushes--his hoofs into glue, his legs into pickles--his hide into alligator akin, and his fat was used for lard until cotton seed oil and wagon grease took its place. Eve In the Gardoa. " I suppose, Eve, as soon as she was born, picked up the first bit of broken glass she found in the Garden of Eden and fixed it in her hair. That was wo­ manlike, but quite possibly Adam had ' long before that taken a bit of rusty wire, and. setting a pebble in it, worn it on his little .finger as a ring, with conscious pride; History does not say that either wire or glass was known at that time, but we don't know. We are Hot half so sure of what history says as we are of what it does not say. So far as we can make out, Cain was smoked early in the beginning of the world, but history does not state it. There is one week in the history of the world that makes all the trouble. It was the first week, and it's just like going into a new home or taking of a new situation-- you're all wrong the first week. Then you get all right and things go perfectly smooth till you want to move. Now about getting married it's quite the re­ verse. The first1 week's all right. Then the trouble begins. That first week of the world is the battle-ground of all disputes, and, like other similar periods, some people think it lasted 6,000 years. It does not concern us particularly, except that if we had been there at tjie time we would have al tered tilings considerably. We would have had ^very one of our neighbors made differently; we are all right our­ selves. However, it is too late to brood over what has been fixed, and I am afraid we've got to take it as it is. But to resume. Can't you see Eve fixing a blue and pink shell to a grass string, putting it around her neck, and stand­ ing by the summer water's edge trying to get a peep at herself to see whether it wasnt handsome? It might be that Adam, in the first burst of affection, caught a gold beetle and stuffed it and made it into a brooch for her. Let the imagination try to fancy how she Einned it on, but she'd get it On some-ow--if he gave it to her. It was some old poet who had ideals and fantasies, and never went out into real life or had to buy a Christmas present, that first called woman a jewel. The term is not inapt nowa­ days, for the modern jewelry is very expensive in the setting, and I am told that some jewels are not worth as much as the gold they're Bet in. I can hardly believe this to'any great extent. The number of people who are real ex­ perts about women is as small as the number of diamond experts; but the number of people Who think they are is much larger. It is hard to tell dia­ monds ; you see a flaw, and the fellow who's selling the stone explains that it has met with some trifling accident in being polished, which does not in the faintest reduce the value. It's the same with a girl. You speak to her mother about some little defect, and she explains that when she was verv young she fell on her left ear, and she's subject to little infinitesimal fits of temper ever since. The poet that first struck the simile builded better than he knew, and would be disgusted, per­ haps, to find how numerously it fits. Woman is a jewel, but she always wants other jewels--and they're not other women.--San Francisco Chronicle. Is Palti's Face Never Wasbedt A peculiarity in connection with Mine. Patti's toilet has been revealed. It appears that when the diva goes to her bath, which she takes about 5 o'clock on the evenings she is to sing, she never allows the water to touch her neck and face, although the rest of her body is religiously immersed. She has • singular theory that hot or cold water produces wrinkles, and it is certainly some sort of proof that her theory is correct that, in spite of being consider­ ably over 40 years of age, there is not a wrinkle visible upon her neck, throat, or face. Of course she insists that she keeps equally clean by means of cold cream, which she uses in copious quantities, generally spreading it on her face and neck and leaving it there while her maid goes through the hair- dressing process, often a period of an hour or so. Then the cold cream is taken off very carefully with a towel, and Mme. Patti considers herself washed. A Fainoas Hunter. Now and then a man is seen in a com­ paratively humble position whose fame is almost world-wide. Such a man is Mr. F. C. Selous. Those who have read anything of South Africa have heard of Mr. Selous the great hunter. He figures in probably every book that has been written South Africa for the past fifteen years. He is the most noted of African hunters and has writ­ ten a book on his wanderings in Africa that is regarded as a guide to sport in that part of the world. Selous rarely gets nearer to the coast than Klerksdorp in the Transvaal, and his hunting grounds are two months' travel north of that little town. He is always accompanied by several negro •servants, who drive his two great ox wagons and perform the usual duties of the camp. About once a year Selous turns up in Klerksdorp with his two wagons filled with ivory, hides, horns, hunting trophies, and other products of the chase. He is a born hunter. Like Daniel Boone he loves nothing so much as to leave civilization hundreds of miles behind him. He buries himself in the great wilderness south of the Zambesi, where native tribes are few and feeble and game is marvelously plentiful. There he wanders at will shooting elephants, antelopes, buffaloes, and other big game. He carries with him a supply of groceries, but lives largely on the game he kills. When he has loaded his wagons he returns to the Transvaal trading post, where he sells the fruits of his rifle, sometimes for several thousands of dollars. He loads up with goods to barter among the na­ tives, and is off again to the wilderness as soon as possible. » Selous has had many adventures, some of which were of a very unpleas­ ant character. In 1872 he wandered, one day, away from his wagons, and was unable to find them again. He was not in the game country, but was in the midst of a trackless and sun-parched wilderness, through which he wandered for four days without a particle of food or drink. On one of his cheeks is a deep scar where a wounded buffalo once tore the flesh with one of its horns. He hunts over a very wide range of country, and now and then appears among tribes he has never visited be­ fore. Sometimes the natives are not very hospitable, but Selous has plenty of tact, and makes friends wherever his wanderings take him. LoBengula, the powerful King of the Matabeli, always permits Selous to pass through his country on his hunting tours, though he often denies the requests of other white men. "Selous," said the savage Mon­ arch to Montagu Kerr, "is a young lion." Geographers, the world over, know of Selous, for he is almost as fopd of exploration as he is of hunting, and, what is better, he can accurately de­ scribe what he sees, and can* make a good map of any 'region he visits. Once in a while one will see in some geo­ graphical periodical a map of some river that Selous has traced from its source to its mouth. It is always an affluent of the Limpofo or Zambesi rivers or of their larger tributaries. In this way he has largely extended his fame, for he has made himself interest­ ing not only to lovers of adventure and field sports, but also to men of science. Selous is a humble hunter and explorer, but there is hardly a white mau in South Africa who would not feel a lit­ tle pang if any disaster befell him. He would be mourned, too, by many thousands of poor black people, and many friends he never saw in Europe and America would speak of him in words of kind appreciation.--New York Sun. An Irish Horse Trade. The following story was told to a clerical friend in the west of this county by a countryman named Dinny Cooley: "Go6d-morrow. Dinny, where did you get the horse?" "Well, I'll tall your reverence. Some time ago I went to the fair of Ross, not with this horse, but another horse. Well, sorra a wan said to me, 'Dinny, do you come from the Aist or do you come from the Wesht?' and when I left the fair there wasn't wan to say, 'Dinnv, are you going to the Aist or are you going to tlie Weslit?' Well, your rev­ erence, I rode home, and was near Kil­ nagross, when I met a man riding along the road fornist me. 'Good-evening, friend,' said he. 'Good-evening friend.' said I. 'Were you at the fair of Ross?' says he. "I was,'sez L 'Did you sell?' says he. 'No,' sez I. 'Would you sell ?' sez he. 'Would you buy ?' says I. 'Would you make a clean swop?'sez he; 'horse, bridle, and Saddle, and all?' sez he. 'Done,' says L Well, your reverence, I got down off av me horse, not this horse, but the other horse, and the man got down off av his horse, that's this horse, not the other horse, and we swopped and rode away. But when he had gone about twenty yards he turned 'round and called after me. 'There niver was a man from Ross,' sez he, 'but could put his finger in the eye av a man from Kilnagross,' sez he; 'and that horse,' sez he, 'that I swopped with you,' sez he, 'is blind av an eye,' sez he. Well then, your reverence, I turned upon him. and I called out to him: 'There niver was a man from Kilnagross,' sez I, 'but that could put his two fingers in both the eyes av a man from Ro.-s,' sez I; 'and that horse that I swopped with you.' sez I, *is blind av both his eyes,' sez L" Frogs as Food. Hie squeamisliness existing in this country in regard to eating frogs is gradually decreasing, and these are found in the markets of all our leading cities. In the Uiuted States only the hind legs are eaten, but in France and Southern Europe, where they are used in large quantities, the whole animal is consumed. The frog, while largely distributed over . the world, is nowhere more abundant than in this country, and there is no reason, therefore, way it should not become a popular article of food. Frogs legs are regarded by epicures as more delicate than spring chicken and with a flavor equal to brook trout They are good either broiled, fried, baked, or stewed.

IO • Cltyaf60,ee0 That Win Jfamlwr 100,- OOO la Twelve Month*. "Most remarkable statements are heard in eveir hotel lobby and ou eveiy railroad about St. Joseph, Mo.," writes a press L la train at correspondent. "A large amount of Kan­ sas City, Chicago and St. Louis capital is being invested in St. Joseph real estate, and I hear that a number of large enter­ prises, employing thousands of men and with a capital that tops millions, have completed arrangements for moving, bag and baggage, to this new oenter of emi­ gration. I met a St. Joseph man on a Wabash train to-day. He tell* me that the immediate cause of the great boom is the extension of the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Bailroad. This great system is making St. Joseph its Missouri River depot for its freight and stock traffic between Chicago and the Northwestern ranges, and has given the city a promi­ nence as a railroad center equaled only by Chicago. The extension of the Rock Island has induced the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul to extend the diagonal southward to, St. Joseph, and the Santa Fe to come up direct from Topeka and Atchison, in order to secure a short cut to Chicago, said to be sixty miles shorter than by any other way. The Rulo bridge will be completed by the first of August, and that wilt send the Burlington and Missouri trains from Denver straight through St. Joseph, eastward via the Han­ nibal. These and other favorable circum­ stances have combined to bring about a boom which, as I said in the outset, has become the absorbing topic ol conversation in every prominent hotel lobby half way across the continent. I hear of men who have made a fortune in one day on an investment of $1,000. People are buying lets in hollows and on top of bluffs, and half the sales are made from the map without an inspection of the ground whereon they are located. The city has about (10,000 inhabitants, and not the least remarkable fact is that she is quoted in the last United States census as, next to Portland, the richest town of her size in the country, controlling the wholesale trade of Kansas, Nebraska, Col­ orado and New Mexico. Her shipping facilities, coupled with her large whole­ sale trade, have made her perhaps the best manufacturing and pork-packing point in the West. The new Stock Yards, the most complete west of Chicago, cover 440 acres of ground, and will shortly combine an hotel, stock exchange and several large packing houses, with other facilities. Local capitalists are erecting a new $300,000 ho- lel, a safe depository, and companies have been organized to build a belt line and two cable roads, while the Council has just granted the right to two of the street-car companies to employ the electric motor. An inspection of the Boston Post's weekly clearing-house reports for the past three months 6hows the percentage of increase the largest of any city quoted in the report. Under such like circumstances, my in­ formant thought, the boom rested upon a solid footing.^ Strangers are coming in by every train, and he predicted that the city would have a population of 100,000 in the next twelve months. Large additions to the city are platted, put on the market and sold in two days for residences, manufact­ uring and business purposes, the real es­ tate deals ranging from $250,000 to $700,- 000 a day, those of last week foot ing up $3,500,000/; The Inquisitive Boy Again. A young lady and a small, bright- eyed boy entered a street car on Lake avenue yesterday afternoon. The lady deposited her fare and the boy's, and the bell rang. I "Aunt Ella," said tike boy, "what makes the bell ring?" "The driver rings the bell," waf the replv. "What does he do that fort" "Why, he does it to register the fare." "What does he do that for?" "Because he has to." "Oh." Then there was a silence for half a minute. Presently the boy said: "What is that round thing up there?" "That is the register." "What is that for ?" "To register the fare." "You said the ring registered fare." "No, I didn't say that." "Yes, you did, Aunt I lia." "Now, Johnny, don't you contradict me; you are a naughty boy." "Well, that's what you said." A silence of two minutes followed It was broken by the boy, who said "Say, Aunt Ella, what made yon tell me that the ring registered the fare? "Oh, I don't know." "You did say so, ^didn't yon, Aunt Ella?" "Yes, Johnny "Then what made you say that you didn't say it?" "I didn't say that I didn't say Don't bother me, Johnny." After another brief silence the boy returned to the attack. "Say, Aunt Ella, did you go to Snnday-school when you w s little?" "Yes, child, of course I did." "Did you take any prizes?" "Yes, lots of them." "Did you tell wrong stories as much as you do now ?" "Johnny, you are a bad boy. I shall tell your mother." "1 wish you would tell her two times; that's what > wish." "Why, Johnny?" "'Cause you wouldn't tell the'same story two times; that woold let me out."--Rochester Herald. Kales for Statesmen.

She was a spinster, about 40 years of age, and she seemed to cherish a settled aversion to the brothers of the human family. One day she asked for my li­ brary ticket to go to our village library for a book to read. 1 recommended two or three books which I thought she would find within her capacity, but she found that they were all out, and she chose a book for herself. It was Dar­ win's ' Descent of Man.' " 'Why did you pick out this book, Biddy?' I asked h<r, in surprise. " 'Sure, ma'am,' she replied, 'it says it's about a daycent man, and if there's One daycent man top of ground I thought I'd like to be readin' about him. But it ain't about any man at all, ma'am.

Mer- PERHAPS there is not the remotest corner or inlet of the minute blood vessels of the body that does not feel some wavelet from the great convulsion produced by hearty laughter shaking the central man. The blood moves more lively; probably its chemical, electric, or vital conditions are dis­ tinctly modified. It conveys a different impression to all the organs of the body, as it visits them on that partieu-' *n Aetc York Graphic. lar mystic journey, when the man is' laughing, from what it does at other times; and thus it is that a good laugh lengthens a man's life by conveying a distinct and additional stimulus to the vital force. The time may come when physicians, attending more closely than they do now to the innumerable subtle influences which the soul exerts upon its tenement of clay, shall prescribejto the torpid patient, "So many peals of laughter, to be undergone at suc h and such a time," just as they do that for more objectionable prescriptions--a pill, or an electric or galvanic shook. --Scientific J.mtrl an. •Xtra Liability to Halarlal Infection.

One of the greatest enemies of the salmon and the salmon fisheries in Ore­ gon is the sea lion. It is estimated that half the salmon that enter the Co­ lumbia liiver the early part of season are captured by these big beasts, which also damage nets to the amount of thousands of dollars. Vast numbers of them congregate at Tillamook rock and at Sealrocks, and it is suggested that dynamite be used to force them to seek other localities.

Dear Sir: I was taken with ft very severe cold last Spring, and tried every cure we ftiad in the store,and could get no help. I had our village doctor prescribe for me, but kept getting worse. I saw an­ other physician from Port Jervib, N. Y., and he told me he used Piso's Core for Consumption in his practice. I bought a bottle, and before I had taken all of it there was a change for the better. Then I got my employer to order a quan­ tity of the medicine and keep it in stock. I took one more bottle, and my Cough was cured. Respectfully, FBMI UCKHIVT. • '"£>1 CURCS WHERE ALL EL Best Cough In time. Syrup. i. Sold Tastes good. AGENTS WANTED remarkab e hook.
