A dreary fain fell gently through the darkened air and all nature seemed: saddened by the great calamity In long rows the dead lay ‘offined and shrouded at the Pacolet mills, which miraculously escaped destruc- ion, Only the strongest nerves coulil stand to look upon tae horribly torn and disfigured bodies, and although thousands visited tke building during the day, they moved with noiseless Ftep and spoke only in whispers in the presence of this grewsome testimonial to the power of the ‘mighty force of the elements, Sle by side, sleeping the last sleep, heeding not the bitter tears that were Talling like rain upon their upturned faces, lay the bodies of thirty-three men, women and children. A little to one side rested 2 casket containing cn eis its little Illy-white face show- ing no trace of neither fear nor of harm, The storm was kinder to it than to others and bore it gently across the dark stream. I another place lay the bodies of four “young girls, their heads literally split open from the crown to the,chin, and hell together with bandages, An old man near them presented 2 face that was crushed so completely that not the slightest resemblance to a human be- ing remained. A small boy near the end of one row o< casxets had his face cut in two, in line with hls mouth, Jand a bandage kept the severed parts together. . | The work of’ the tornado was: com- plete, From the factory where it first ‘descended upon doomed Gainesville to the hills beyond New Holland, where Mt rose Into the upper air, the destrue- ‘tion of property fs utter and the Joss of life 1s appalling. Along this entire course. for a dis- tance of perhaps two mucs, there Is not a fence standing, not a habitable house, most of the latter being re- duced to strips like laths, and scarce- ly a tree left. Words cannot paint the picture in its true colors, and to exaz- gerate is ansimpossibility. At the Gainesville cotton mills, where the fury of the storm first made itself felt, tne scenes were perhaps the most desolate, for here on the ‘op floor, children of tender years wore the victims of the storm.

It will ‘be between $25 000 and $50,000. The property destroyed between the ‘two mills will make the total loss near ‘the $600,000 mark, The Southern railway’ is a heavy loser in damages to the pumping sta- tion, the depot and the destruction of rolling stock. * Both the Western Union: and the Postal Telegraph companies Jost poles and wires.

The ardor of the rescue work of the heroic rescuers wag rot abated by tne conditions which Confronted thems For long dreary pours, knee deep in water and sometimes in water upsto their necks, they worked with might and main. ~Awtul Work of Flood. > Briefly stated, the condition of the food at last reports Wa as follows: One hundred and seveuty to two uundred people drowned; eight thau send people without homes; four auil- lion dollars’ worth of property destroy: gd; {dentified dead five; floating bodies seen, twenty; people missing, two hundred; banks collapsed, two; wholesale grocery stores flooded, two; ‘big business blocks almost ready to crumble, fifty; wholesale commission houses deserted, sixs elty water works Plant useless, The known drowned are: Karl Rupp, Orivillele Rupp, two Rupp girls, G. H . Garrett's, S-year-old soa, twenty ‘bodies unidentified. Leading men have made a careful examination ‘of the flood and all its conditions, ‘and as a result of their in- vestigation they give 230 as the proba- ble number,of lives lost. A more con- servative estimate places the number of dead at 175. ‘The higher number is as apt as the lower. The number of dead is merely a matter of estimate. Twenty members of the rescuing par- ties tell of how they saw people drop from houses only to be swept aay by the flood and others tell of men who, terrified at the approach of the fire, aropped into the water, where they sank and did not reappear, j This estimated number of dead does not include the large number classed as missing who cannot otherwise be accounted for. Neither does it in- clude the number who are supposed to have lost their lives in the fire. In the latter class there is absolute- ly no means of arriving at even an ap Proximate number of victims, The water was so high and the current so strong that all that could be done im- mediately was to restue those in the buildings surrounded by water. It will be at least three days before the correct number of dead will be de- cided on. Work of rescuing the vic- tims of the flood is pushing forward with great vigor. | FLOATING HOUSES AFLAME, | The following special was sent out ‘from Topeka Saturday night: | The fire which began in North To peka, already surrounded by water, Saturday afternoon raged until past ' maldnight. |. Four hundred houses have _bewa burned,’ and, as near as can be learn- fea, about one hundred and fifty per- sons are dead, | Most of these were Gurned to death. Burning houses were floating about, setting fire to others. The lower story of the burning buildings contained ten feet of water. The current was so strong that no boat could approach any of the burning bulldings., Peo- ple were- gathered on the tops of houses and met death éfther by fire or burning. The cries for help could de distinctly heard a mile away. ‘Tho whole city was wildly exciteded be- cause of the fact that no al. could oe extended to the sufferers. The river at North Topeka {s five miles wide.

KANSAS CITY INUNDATED, With the Kaw and oflssouri rivers nearlyfour foet above the disastrous level of 1881, and their swollen tide spread over 12 square "miles of the city and its suburbs, Kansas ity sunday night was in the worst' dood of its history. In the valley ofthe Kaw, or Kansas river, between Kansas City, Mo. and Kansas City, Kans., a report has it that a number of lives has: been lost, One report says fourteex and another fifty. Twelve bodies wero counted qs they floated past during the day. ‘The finenclal loss has been increas- ing and bds fair to continue. Tho heaviest loss is at Armourdale, where the losses to’ the packing industry and others is placed conservatively at $2- 500,000. Argentine,*another suburb, ‘has suffered losses estimated at $500,- 000. Other losses which cannot now bo estimated will Increase the total ‘very materially. Armourdale, with a population, of 16,000 people, Is deserted, and its site marked only Sy the tops of buildings and a number of fires.

Babbitt of the Brooklyn-rhurch of the Epiptbany said in speaking of the treatment of the Negroes in the South: “They, are rapidly robbing Negroes by a de- Tiberate eyetem not only of their in- alienable rights to life. liberty and happiness as citizens of the great republic, but we see state after state in the south concocting in the dev- il's worshop their own brand of leg- islative nullification. We see some northern ministers applauding them and applying the approbious epithet “nigger” to the haplees black man.” Frequent complaints haye been made of the conduct of a certain class of immoral white men who molest cojored ladies and girls on the streets especially at nights. Some of these fellows are bold enough to attempt their fumiliarities in the day. The most recent case that we have been informed of occurred on Saturdsy night. Two respectable young girls had oceasion to do some shopping for their parents on Bronghton street. They were seen by one of these fellows who followed them and flaunted a dollar bill id their faces at the eaine time spoke insult- ingly to them. ‘The girls undertook to shun him, but were followed. Finally they had to appeal to a gen- tleman who was passing for protec: tion, whereupon the white fellow slanked away. ‘These girle did the proper thing to appeal for protec tion and what they did should be emulated by others when molested. These fellows whe insult our females should be apprehended and lawfully dealt with.

Hour after hour passed, for the detachment. according to in- structions, had made a wide detour and did not get back until just before sundown, when, for the first time, it was noticed that Deviunie's place’ in ranks was vacant. Tis cused no un- easiness at first, for it was supposed that he “fell out” for urgent reasous and would soon put in an appegrance. But darkness came and no Jack. Then there was anxiety. Some expressed the fear that he, lad got lost In the mazes of the underbrush, but his coin- pans companions, who knew him best, insisted that he would turn pp in due time. Cold snacks were issied, senti: nels were posted, and the regiment sought Its rest with the trusty Krag by the side of each man. Funstoh’s men were not to be caught napping. “Corporal of the Guard No, 2,” rang out upon the air about 10 o'clock. The answer was made post haste and there stood Devinnle with three Mausers and three gugu prisoners in front of him, and the sentinel was on his guard to see that not even Jack got away. ‘fhe corporal and the missing man exchanged a few words, and on Insist- iog he was taken before Funston. His company commander was not good enough for him just then. ‘The little man who ran the coup on hiking Aggie was overglad.to sce the missing scout, and it didn’t take but a minute to see that he had some prizes to turn over‘and a story to tell. Jack ‘stood behind his prisoners, and with bis Krag at right shoulder, he brought bis left band priskly to the small, of Its stock, giving the proper salute, and stood at attention. “Surrounded ’em, Jack?” queried the Colonel, with a merry twinkle in his eye. “No, begorra,” sald he, “I sniped om.” ‘Jack then explained that he was at the right of the detachment, which was moving In order of skirmishers about twenty feet apart, and that to escape an impenetrable jungle he moved still further to the right, tripped on some creeping vines and pitched headlonz Into a gulch, where he lay for some time in a dazed condition.

NOURISH THE ROOTS. Draid the hair loosely in one strand at night and try to study out several different ways of plining it up by day, says the Philadelphia Inquirer. Hair should not be worn tightly twisted and pinned, nor steadily, for any great length of time, in one style. Lightweight and very open-toothed combs should be employed in making the pompadour, and night and morning, when arranging the hair, dip the dressing comb several times in clear water. In a climate where there is little moisture in the air it is a positive necessity to dampen the locks frequently. The hair is nourished as much by what one eats as the blood and flesh, and many hair specialists treat it through the stomach instead of paying local attention to the scalp. Brown bread, cracked wheat, plain, boiled vegetables, mutton and a simple dietary in every respect are advised. Beautiful, soft, bright hair cannot be grown from a diet of fine, boiled flour bread, cake and salads. If one wants a fine head of hair one must eat with due regard to the albumen and gelatine required for color and softness. In the spring a dose of sulphur is a good thing, and from time to time prunes and spinach and crabberries must be taken to supply the proper amount of iron needed. UMBRELLA HANDLES. Umbrella handles this season are very beautiful and very expensive. They come in all kinds of new art designs worked out in gold, silver, shaded enamel and gun metal. The handsomest ones are to be found at the jewelers' and come put up in a case with the tips and ferrite to be mounted to order. Studies in dancing girls, sea nymphs and flowers are carried out in the merals mentioned. A garlanded column forms the main piece of an up-to-date handle, with a girl's figure done in pale tinted enamels, the swirling skirt being gracefully fashioned. Ivory in several tints is the foundation of the most expensive umbrella handle of the season. Many of these are made symbole of popular sports, such as automobiling, hunting and fishing. Brown is the fashionable shade for umbrellas, with green pressing it hard. Red and blue are still favorites, but the durable black is always to the fore when service is in requisition. The summer sunshade is perfectly gorgeous. No other word expresses its filmy beauty and costliness. It is the ambition of every woman to have a parasol made expressly for her, and to further this end all sorts of odd and lovely affairs are made. Orchids, represented in different shade of mauve, are original; also artichokes and any flower one fancies. Even leather is used as a material in some of the more substantial parasols, and they are extremely fetching—Washington Star. COMMON SENSE SKIRTS Elsie De Wolfe may not be a great actress, but she has earned the gratitude of everybody save the doctors by advocating the short skirt for women in business. Miss De Wolfe is supposed by the press agent to be an authority on fashion, and if she can help on the vogue of dresses which clear the street she will have done so much good that she is fairly entitled to the free advertising—like this—which she gets out of it. She is said to have posted on her call board a rule that all the women of her company shall go to the theatre in short skirts. In explanation she said that she was forced to adopt such a rule when her company was on the road to protect the health of her acceses; that railroad stations, sidewalks and theatres in small towns were so dirty that not until she established the reign of short skirts were the members of her company to be depended upon. The actress added that the only woman who had any business to wear a long skirt on the street was the woman who rode in her carriage; that is, the woman who has no business and so is privileged to humor her whims. The women who ride in carriages here are a minority that do not count, so far as street fashions go. The long skirt, which was made for them in Paris, is adopted here by women who must walk or ride in street cars, under the impression that when they wear carriage dresses people cannot tell them from women who have carriages. After they have worn their long skirts about twice on the street the distinction is clear to the most unobservant. After a gown has been trailed through the mud for a fortnight the sense of smell reveals the fact that if it was made for a carriage it never saw the inside of one. The long skirt in this country is a silly affection. Perhaps it has some subtle connection with the notion that because an American woman who walks is "just as good" as the one who rides she ought to wear the same clothes. Sensible women ought to quit it. If the women who have plenty of places for their trained gowns would keep them carefully off the street perhaps their sisters for whom the big stores are their chief parade ground would follow the good example.—Brooklyn Eagle.

Lyle, has been appointed assistant to Professor Erhech in the University of Vienna. Professor Erhech is a noted specialist in the diseases of children. Mrs. Lee C. Harby, of Charleston, S. C., has won the $100.prIZE in a contest ordered by the State of Texas for an official flag song. Her poem set to music will be sung on all patriotic occasions. Fifty-three years ago France began giving medals to women for bravery in war time. Since then thirty-three decorations have been bestowed on brave women. The first to be decorated was Jennie Rossini, on June 7, 1839. The California State Federation is vigorously pushing the long-restled claim of the Fremont heirs, in behalf of the-daughter of the great explorer. The death of Mrs. Fremont, whose pension ceased with her life, left the daughter almost penniless. A Chicago woman, Mrs. M. H. Knowles, has been honored by the French Government, which has bestowed upon her the much coveted decoration, "Les Palmes Academiques." This was for her work in fostering the study of the French language in America. Mrs. Julius L. Brown, of Atlanta, Gn., has secured, unaided, pledges, from over 2000 women of her State that they will not in future use the plumage of wild birds on their hats or bonets. Through her efforts over 2500 of the school children of Atlanta have subscribed to a pledge not to harm or annoy wild birds. Four-year scholarships at the Syracuse University have been secured by Miss Ethel Mensch and Miss Emma Paulkner, both of Delaware. Both young women were clerks in the bathing pavilion at Ocean Grove, near New York City, and one day rendered some special service to Professor Scott, of the faculty at Syracuse, who rewarded them with scholarships. There is a woman in Greater New York who has built up a large trade by decorating old furniture. She takes the pieces and repairs them, finding she can get more artistic effects than the regular upholsterer. At first she worked on a commission basis with a second-hand man, but she has now developed such a thriving business that she is able to hire a ground floor flat, and says she has all the work she can take care of. Never were parasols so elaborate. In dress gloves many women still prefer the soft suede. Lonk silk gloves show handsome lace appliques in the long arm part. Though white is more modish a black glove is always effective with a black costume. Royal copper has invaded the wrist bags, with fish scale and coat-of-mall designs as popular as ever. Turquoise and phk-tourmaline in alternation furnish a pretty color scheme in the decoration of gilt purse frames. Walrus leather belts, gilded or silvered, have silver or gold clasps in the back and harness buckles in the front. Art nouveau and floral designs are in the lead for belt and sash pins, and their variety and beauty is almost bewildering. Exquisitely graceful are some of the flower forms in pins and brooches, achieved, by means of pearls set on very slender gold stems. Moussseau foulard is the name given to a gauzy mixture of silk and linen. One of the dahntest pieces is in pale gray, striped and dotted with white. A stunning new hat is of white malline. The up-rolling brim is draped with Irish croquet lace, and brim and crown are trimmed with clusters of green, black and white daisies. Front tabs are newer and therefore more used this year than the erstwhile prominent postillon back. These front tabs are sometimes of the material to march the belt and sometimes a metal ornament. In ornamentation fish-eye pearl button effects are much liked, while studied Oriental metal trimmings appear upon many of the most desirable girdles. Cut-steel ornaments are also in high favor on belts of black elastic. One of the prettiest new wrist bags has square corners and is flat. It is of green suede mounted with gold frame, huge gold bals for clasps and gold chain. The same gold mountings finish a walrus wrist bag of the same shape. In line with the prevailing craze for pendant effects all sorts of hanging ornaments are observed on the season's belts—chains, fancy bell buttons, tassels, both silk and metal; knobs, both plain and jeweled, etc.—mostly in military effect. OUR GIRLS AND BOYS FUNNY ALPHONSO. Alphonse sits beside me with a blue inquir- following the lines A E and C There is thus obtained in a twinkl- ing eye. A host of questions silently propropanding. And when a storm begins, and round, me on fly "Awhat is this?" a "What is that?" and can be a "When?" and "Why?" too. Tell him what you want the road Tell how his tongue can serve the need To get them out at such a speed Is quite astounding. I ask him for a basket to accommodate replies. In other words, I beg that he will hear me. He listens to each answer with a pair of roving eyes. For some things he plainly see, has awakened his surprise. And all his thoughts are far away. And nothing I can do or say Will keep them near me. From bud to bud of knowledge like a butterfly he goes. And lingers not around them for a minute. But off again, unsatisfied, to find another rose. And if you meet Alphonso and will ask what he knows. He'll answer or you thoughtless look. Then glancing through his "wisdom book." Find nothing in it. Now those who will ask questions should be patient for replies. And an old you find Alphonso, please to mention. That wisdom asks for knowledge or it never would be wise. But waits to hear the answer ere it seeks a new surprise. Do well who treasures the harvest fair. That truth is keeping everywhere. Must pay attention. -Chicago Record-Herald. PAPER GAS WORKS. TOUCH HOTTED MART TO JET OF GAS. CONE OF PAPER SET FOR TO THE JET. - Twist a large piece of wrapping paper into a cone and make a small hole in the side near the point. Hold it with the mouth obliquely downward and set fire to the rim. A jet of gas produced, by the distillation of the paper will issue from the small hole and will burn if a lighted match is put to it. HOW SNAKES SPEND WINTER. The snakes are retiring for the winter now, but they make little preparation for their long sleep. They simply crawl into holes in the ground, fissures in rocks, or beneath the roots of trees, and there remain in a tethered condition until the warmth of spring awakens them. Sometimes a lot of them gather in a hole some distance from the surface of the ground, roll themselves into one large ball, and thus pass the winter. Such a ball is sometimes composed of hundreds of snakes so closely interwoven as to be quite difficult to separate.—Woman's Home Companion. INGRATITUDE. "Yes, Towscer, after I've served this family faithfully for ten years they've gone and bought a phonograph."—New York Journal. TO MAKE A PAPER STAR. The five-pointed star which is seen upon the uniforms of military men is called in geometry the regular pentagon star. Its construction with the aid of the rule and compass is long and complicated, so complicated, in fact, that the description of the process would be useless. But for those who wish to make the star quickly there is a better way. Take a simple band of paper in which make a knot as indicated in the two figures on the left of the design. At the top is seen the commencement of the knot. Then draw it, holding the band of paper very flat and fold it following the lines A E and C D. There is thus obtained in a twinkling the ordinary regular pentagon A B C D E. If now it be folded so that the edge C F takes the direction A E, and then the pentagon be placed before the window or in front of a light, the charming star of five points will appear in the transparency, owing to the differences in the thicknesses of the paper. FLOATING SPIRAL BOTTLE OF SOAP SURG A spiral of fine wire will float if it is well oiled and laid gently on the surface of water. Then if a drop of a strong solution of soap is applied to the centre the spiral will make several turns in the direction shown by the arrow—that is, in the direction in which a clock spring turns when it is being wound up. When the motion has ceased the application of another drop of soapsuds will renew it and the process may be repeated many times. Alcohol or strong distilled liquor may be used instead of soapsuds with similar results. ROPE DANCER. Cut out of cardboard and color the figure of the dancer and fasten it by one foot with sealing wax to the head of a large needle, the point of which is stuck in a cardboard circle as close as possible to the stage. Out of a larger piece of cardboard cut a circular hole of just twice the diameter of the first card. If the small card is placed within the hole in the large one and made to roll around, its edge it will be seen that the needle and the figure move in a straight line along a diameter of the large circle and that the danger turns completely round once during each complete trip back and forth. If a thread is stretched just behind the figure on a level with her toes she will appear to be dancing to and fro upon it. In general the line (called a hypocycloid) which is described by a point in the circumference of one circle rolling inside of another is a more or less complicated curve, but it becomes a straight line when one circle is just half the size of the other.

About one-half of the population of the world depends upon rice as its main food supply. If we look, however, at maps showing the distribution of cereal crops we shall find a great difference between the distribution of rice and that of other grains. We shall see that maize, wheat, rye, oats and barley are scattered over wide areas covering, perhaps, the half of continents. The rice areas, on the contrary, appear small and patchy. They lie in long, narrow bands among the margins of the sea or in river valleys. The reason is, of course, that they are confined to low swampy districts where paddy fields may easily be flooded. Nowhere does rice spread out over areas of wide extent except in southern Asia, where the extensive low lands are flooded or the valleys among the mountains are irrigated with infinite care. Within the past four years the dream of a few theorists has been realized on the plains of Texas, and in 1902 over 210,000 acres around Houston yielded 2,500,000 bags of marketable rice, worth $8,000,000. In 1891 the year after the rice boom struck Texas, 80,000 acres were in rice in the neighborhood of Houston, and this year it is expected that 300,000 acres will be planted, all of it land that five years ago was worth only $1 or $2 an acre for grazing and could produce only four or five bushels of grain to the acre. Costly irrigation has wrought this transformation. It has been proved that the very best of rice crops can be raised on these prairie lands by spreading water over them and that the industry pays a large profit. A few years ago that part of our southern coastal plain which might easily be flooded was producing only about one-half the rice consumed by our people. We are still importing rice, but at the same time we are selling our home product in Hawaii, Porto Rico, Cuba, Mexico and Central and South America; and agents of the Rice Association of America are looking to Europe for a market, confident that before very long we shall be able not only to fill the home demand, but also to contribute important quantities to foreign markets that are now dependant upon Burmah, Slam and Cochin China. In five years we have increased the home product nearly one-half. We are changing the nature of our rice imports, which are now largely of the lower grades known as "brewer's rice," used in the manufacture of beer. Rice culture on lands that can be flooded only artificially was the problem of Texas; and its triumphant solution is turning a region of scanty production into very profitable farming lands—New York Sun. PREVENTING FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE. Frequent outbreaks of the cattle epidemic have occurred in Germany, and more experience has been gained than in most sections. A recent authority believes that the most important operations are immediate removal of affected animals, and nutritious dieing of animals which have been exposed. For the purpose of preventing the disease it is urged that susceptible animals be rendered as resistant as possible by keeping them in a healthy and well nourished condition, and that the virus of foot and mouth disease be kept attenuated or be destroyed by abundance of fresh air and direct sunlight. In other words, well fed cows in a sunny, alrty stable are less likely to take the disease, or, for that matter, any other disease. AMERICAN RICE.

J. CRAIG, General Passenger Agent, Wilmington, N. C. H. LEAHY, Passenger Agent, Savannah, Ga. Founder of the Smithsonian Institute James Smithson, Englehman, who founded the Smithsonian Institution in Washington; died in 1829, and was buried there. The memery wherein his bones lie he abandoned, and the land's treasures as a stone quarry. All the coins in it are to be removed. The agents of the Smithsonian propose that James Smithson's remains shall be brought to this country and reinthe. So in the grounds of the institution which is so noble a monument to its founder, James Smithson was the natural son of Hugh Smithson, who became Duke of Northumberland. From the family of his mother, a we'll born woman, he inherited a fortune. He became a noted scientist with a strong political preference for republic institutions. He never married, and when he died nearly all his estate "to the United States of America to found at Washington, under the name of the Smithsonian Institution, an establishment for the increase and diffusion of knowledge among men." The money, £104,960, was sent to the United States in 1835, and the institution was established by Congress in 1846. Smithson once wrote: "The best blood of England flows in my veins. On my father's side I am a Northumberland, on my mother's I am related to kings; but this avails me not. My name small live. In the memory of man when the titles of the Northumberlandlands and the Percys are extinct and forgotten." He hitched his wagon to the right star and his goaetac is well on the way towards fulfilment. Graham Bell, one of the Regents of the Smithsonian, strongly advocates bringing them over seas, and has offered to pay the expenses of removal.-Harper's Weekly. WINDOW GARDENS. A window-garden will transform the plainest room into an attractive abiding place. Delicate plants and flowers with their graceful foliage and delicious, subtile perfume have charms impossible to furniture or decoration. Their freshness and fragrance permeate the atmosphere and effect not only the physical senses, but also the mind. A delicate add artistic plant that grows the year round is the asparagus fern. It grows luxuriously in dry or moist atmosphere and produces long, graceful, feathery fonds from 12 to 15 inches long. Another standby is the begonia, of which there is a variety of shades, from the vivid coral to the pale and brilliant plinka. The gloxinia is another decorative plant for the window. The blossom is trumpet shaped, and the icaves are very handsome. The plant is a dwarf and is very easily cultivated. The bulb should be planted in a 5-inch pot. Chinese lilies and white narcissus are planted in a 6-inch bowl of gravel and water for each bulb, and in a larger bowl if more than one are planted at a time. Hyacinths and jonquills are the force runners of spring and can flourish in narrower quarters than other plants. As many as five bulbs will grow in a 6-inch pot. The most fastidious, artistic temperament, as well as the more ordinary mortal, could not fail to admire a window box of delicate yellow jonquils peeping from a bed of green moss or surrounded by a fringe of green foliage. A few favorite plants for window boxes are the abutition, begonia, sweet alysum, fuchsia, ivy, geranium, mignonette, petunia and the new creeping latana.—American Queen.

RE re a) cae Ne ne se ene 4s Incgmplete without a dog. Since hs 4s'eo important to the farm, I would ask, {s he properly cafed for and housed. He needs shelter as well as cattle and sheop, though he ts but a og. The dog is quick to discern the, dif- ference between @ harsh and a kind word. Continual use of harsh lang- wage makes him indifferent and un- mindful of what you want him to do, It 4s therefore imperative to use kind words always, When he does a praiso- worthy act, pat him on the head, and reward him with one or two kind words, and you will soon notice a great difference. Never kick or cuft a dog. If he needs severe punishment, use a willow or a peach switch upon him, and it will prove far more effec- tive. Be patient with a young -dog. Ho can't learn it all in a day. ‘When the dog 1s old enough to be trained, {t fp well not to allow anyone else to attempt to teach him anything. ‘The dog soon learns to understand you, if you repeat your commands in the"same tones, using the same words. Others, however, will use different words and perhaps violence, taua con- fusing the animal and causing bim to forget what you have taught him. A dog can bp trained for several years after he has attained his growth, hence there is no need of beginning when he is very young. Professfonal dog tratners often pick up dld dogs and teach {aem to do wonderful tricks. There ate several good breeds of doge that are useful on the farm. ‘The col- lie, or a cross of this and some variety of watch dog, will scrve more different purposes than any other. “The collies certainly have eclipsed nearly all othe er varieties in intelligence, and if money 1s. a measure of valuo, they alsd stand quite well at the top.—American Agriciilturist. : ‘The Lost Fraction of Time.
