Passers by saw the dog sniffing and smelling around the curb, and then they saw him disappear through the hole. In a short time they heard muffled barkB and they at once ran to the spot. They found the noble animal supporting the little girl's head out of water with its paws, while it Kept up a barking for help.

Prices and Politics^ rt" 33e'Undtatfp^dass restaurants and hotels have felt obliged to raise their price, for food. One of the proprietors explainstoareporter that "it Is a case of put up prices or shut'up shop." He says that during the last Ave years— about the era of "UcKlnley prosperity" —"food prices have advanced 50 per cent., and 36 per cent, of this has been scored since last January." Every housekeeper who is obliged to take account of expenses Is conscious of an increase in the cost of living, without (in the great majority of cases) any compensating increase in wages or salary. If this state of things shall continue until the fall elections—and there are no signs of an abatement of the trouble —it will very possibly affect the voting seriously for the party in power.

What the Vatican would prefer would be to have this whole subject left to. the discretion of the church authorities, to be worked out gradually, and without any shuw of compulsion or pressure. It would prop ably be regarded as a violation of the treaty of peace with Spain if the United States should forcibly remove the friars from tbe Philippines. The great point, BB it seems to is gained when the fri ars' title to agricultural lands are extin guished by the payment of a fair com pensation. Tbe Vatican could have no motive for wishing to have the proceeds of the sale of these lands used for the re establishment anywhere in the islands of wholly unwelcome members of tbe religious orders. On one pretext or an other, these friars will inevitably be withdrawn, and they naturally go either to Spain or to the South American counties.

Hl,.il From the Brala. A tremendous amount of nonsense has been wrltteu about thumb marks. It is clulmed that the curious skin con figuration on the ball of the thumb 1, never the same In any two people and that it never changes. The first state ment is correct, and the same thing can be said of the lines on the palm and the creases on the bottom of the feet But the assertion that the thumb marks never change throughout life is a de cided exaggeration. The alteration may conie from a variety of causes—any thing, In fact, that will destroy the outer layer of skin. Another modifying cause is tbe tend ency of the thumb to develop little horizontal creases as one grows old. This is especially true of mechanics and other working people who use tools, and eventually the creases will break np the lines to such an extent that it is equivalent almost to a rearrange ment of the pattern. Specialists in nerve diseases by an examination of the thumb can tell If tbe patient is affected or likely to be affected by paralysis, as the thumb signals this long before It Is visible In any other part of tbe body. If the danger symp toms are evidenced there, an operation is,performed on what is known as the thumb center" of the brain, and the Border, is often removed. No matter how carefully the individ ual may attempt to conceal incipient ln s«n|$r, the thumb will reveal it lnfal I0!j(i %HaHK.-ait sure test -patient in his dally work permits the thumb to stand r.t aright angle to the other fingers or to fall listless into the palm, taking no part in his writing, his handling of things, his multiform du ties, but standing isolated and sulky.

This thistle, when it reaches a certain stage of growth, becomes detached from the soil and owing to its peculiar shape rolls over the prairie In alight wind, scatter ing Its seeds everywhere. In order to get rid of It when it first made its ap pearance In this section, long Btretches of wire fence were built by some farm ers to catch and stop the weed as it rolled along—then it was gathered in mighty piles and burned. But it was not long before the discovery was made that the despised tumbleweed had been very much maligned. Instead of being an unmitigated nuisance and peet, it was found to be a valuable forage plant, much relished by Btock, and that it Children and Secret..

Tea Can't Avoid Old Why a Blue Uo.e In Impossible. A florist makes the assertion that a blue rose Is among the impossibilities but, while an explanation of this curi ous fact may be equally Impossible, he falls to mention a very interesting law which governs tlio colorings of all flowers. A A Fair? Fnneral. Black, a distinguished English paint er who was liable to disordered sen sations, described a fairy funeral which he seemed to have witnessed. He was walking In bis garden one night when he apparently heard a low and pleasant sound and at length saw a procession of creatures of the size and color of grasshoppers bearing a body laid out on a rose leaf, which they burled with songs and then dis appeared. AMvatlng Htubanda* Name., The practice of the wife assuming the husband's name at marriage, ac cording to Dr. Brewer, originated from Roman custom and became the com mon custom after the Roman occupa tion. Thus Julia and Octavla, married to Pompey and Cicero, were called by the Romans Julia of Pompey, Octavla of Cicero, and in latter times married If -tlte4-women in most European countries signed their names in the same manner, but omitted the "of." Against this view may be mentioned that during the sixteenth and even at the beginning of the seventeenth century the usage seems doubtful, since we find Catha rine Parr so slgniug herself after she had been twice married, and we al ways hear of Lady Jane Grey (not Dudley), Arabella Stuart (not Sey mour), etc. Some persons think that the custom originated from the Scriptural teaching that husband and wife are one. This was the rule of law so far back as Bracton (died 1208), and it was de cided in tbe case of Bon versus Smith, in tbe reign of Elizabeth, that a woman by marriage loses her former name and legally receives the name of her hus band. Altogether the custom is involv ed in much obscurity. 5 sy CKt the ..otel Cleric, "With all L.s ...,i!is," began Mr. Fairehlld, "till I] td man is a first class fellow, AIIO will so a long way to keep his quests from shining too much in public or from being seen'by doubtful guests.

On Macaulay's telling hlin that he took a dally walk in St. Peter's. Gladstone asked him what most attracted him In that place. "The temperature," was the answer. Notifying the God. One of the odd things the visitor to Burma will notice is the large number of bells about tho pagodas. These bells are usually hung on sacred posts a few feet abovo the ground. They are sweet toned, as all Burmese bells are, but tbey are not furnished with tongues. The worshiper who comes to pray before the pagoda strikes one of these bells with a wood en mallet This is to attract tho atten tion of the god. Ammonia.
