Life-Sized Model of Dog Brought Joy
Into Life of Little New
Yorker.
In front of a shop on Fifth avenue,
New York, there stands for purposes
of advertisement a life-sized model of
a little dog. To adult eyes it bears but
slight resemblance to a living bow-
wow, but to the little girl who caught
sight of it one day this week for the
first time it was a creature of life and
real personality.
Regardless of white corduroy coat
and dusty pavement, she dropped on
her knees beside the dog and gazed
in rapture. After a breathless moment
she put out her hand timidly, then
drew it back and looked up at her
mother.
"Will he bite?" she queried. Then,
as her mother shook her head, she
stretched out both hands an patted
the dog's head. He didn't move, and
she went on petting him, blissfully.
Then she put her chubby arms about
him, and gave him a Joyous little-girl
hug, and, straightening her small cord-
uroy-coated person once more, she
blithely stroked the dog's right ear.
"I'se got to go," she murmured,
"muvver says. But I'se comtn' back."
She looked up at her mother hap-
pily. Not once did it occur to her to
doubt the model's reality.
"He's so fweet," she gurgled. "I
fink he's got the fweetest character of
any doggie I ever did see."

COMPOSER FOND OF SOLITUDE
80 M. Massenet Discourages Long
Visits From Friends, but With-
out Giving Offense.
The composer, M. Jules Massenet,
has a beautiful estate at Egreville,
and he does most of his work there,
because in Paris he is rarely free
from visitors. Tiut Egreville is not so
very far away from Paris, and occa-
sionally his friends go out there and
with the best intentions in the world
disturb Jules Massenet at his work.
Massenet, however, never lets his
friends disturb him very long. He
has a neat way of suggesting their
departure. He receives them cordial-
ly and in answer to the Inevitable
phrase of admiration for his house
and grounds he always says exactly
the same thing. "Yes," says M. Mas-
senet, "the principal charm of this
place is that the railway communica-
tions are eo bad. The only decent
train to get you out here brings you
here at 1 o'clock, and to get back to
PariB with anything like comfort you
will have to leave again at 2 o'clock."
But one day a friend who had tak-
en a country house ten or twelve
miles away arrived on a visit. He
and his son had come on bicycles.
"My dear friend," said Massenet, "in
these days of the motor car bicycling
Is horribly dangerous. I wish you
would promise me to give it up."

Way to Remove Tattoo Marks.
Once tattooed, always tattooed, was
formerly the rule; but a French army
surgeon, Dr. Tranchant, has discover-
ed a method of removing tattoo
marks, whether made with India ink
or lampblack. According to La Na-
ture, the process consists of first rub-
bing the skin until a thin layer of the
surface Is worn away, then applying a
mixture of lime, slacked just before
use, and powdered phosphorus. The
tattooed part having been coated with
this paste, a piece of gauze is laid
over it, covered with a bandage. The
dressing is removed after 48 hours.
The scab Is allowed to dry in the air,
and comes away in about a fortnight,
without leaving a scar. If any trace
of the tattooing then remains, the
treatment is repeated. Dr. Tranchant
claims to have applied this treatment
in a great many cases with perfect
auccess.
their houseboat, moored off Edgewa
ter, on the Jersey side. When it came
time to leave Mr. and Mrs. Wilson vol-
unteered to row Allen and Miss Wilk
son, sister of the husband, to a dock
near the Fort Lee ferry.
Mrs. Wilson and Miss Wilson are of
ample proportions, and Allen didn't
like the idea of allowing his hostess
to row, especially as it was rough and
the tide was coming in. So he pro-
tested. "No, I must row," he said.
"Couldn't think of it," returned Mrs.
Wilson smiling. "I need the exercise,
you know. I don't get exercise on the
houseboat." And she had taken the
second pair of oars and settled her-
self in the seat behind her husband be-
fore Allen could bestow himself and
baggage and assist Miss Wilson to a
seat in the stern.
"What will those fishermen think of
me, allowing a woman to row me?"
he protested. "I'm going to explain
it to them as we pass. I don't want to
get in bad,"
Sure enough as the boat passed the
fishermen on the piers Allen called
out: "The lady needs exercise!" And
the fishermen, appreciating the situa-
tion, grinned, and by their demeanor
indicated they absolved Allen from ap-
pearing to take it easy.—New York
Herald.
Few Chances in China.
Several years ago the American con-
suls in China cautioned young men
and women In the United States
against going there with the hope of
securing clerical or stenographic em-
ployment. Inquiries are again being
received as to such openings and it is
well to repeat the caution.
The custom of foreign firms here
Is to fill all Important and well paid
positions with persons whom they
bring out under contract, so that a
person arriving without such docu-
ment stands little chance of securing
positions that pay living wages. Minor
situations are filled by clerks, stenog-
raphers and typists who live In Shang-
hai at salaries ranging from $25 to
$75 United States currency a month.
The cost of living here is not less than
in the United States and the cli-
mate is not uniformly suitable to
foreigners.
To Foster American Shipping.
The Honolulu Bulletin announces
that "the Home Industry League of
Hawaii is starting a movement in aid
of the American merchant marine by
inducing shippers to divide their trans-
pacific shipping among American bot-
toms and otherwise foster the patron-
age of vessels flying the American
flag." That journal also calls atten-
tion to the desire In the Philippines
for a direct steamship line between
Manila and the United States, with
Honolulu as the half way point.
Why We Shake Hands.
A writer in the New York Sun has
unearthed the following explanation of
a common custom:
How many of us, for instance, know
why friends shake hands when they
meet? The Chinese are said to shake
their own hands in greeting, with an
air of cordial delight. Why do people
of the so-called civilized nations pre-
fer to shake each other by the hand?
We are told that it is an old Roman
custom, spread by the Romans
throughout the countries of their do-
minion. Shaking hands means, "You
are my friend. Believe it for the ex-
cellent reason that if you were not I
should draw my sword. And how
could I draw my sword with my shield
upon my left arm and my right hand
firmly clasped in yours?" So when we
shake hands we are merely saying in
the pantomime of ancient Rome:
"There is peace and good will between
us, for our swords are in their scab-
bards."

a crooked stick that will not lie in

he is the spirit who constantly de-
nies.
This class of persons is a steady,
normal crop in the field of humanity.
We would not get along without them.
They keep the kettle of things stirred,
which otherwise would settle and
spoil. These are they that keep the
courge of social life pure as a run-
ning stream and prevent it from be-
coming like a green, stagnant pool.
They supply ginger for political
campaigns. They are the party out
of power. They are the watchdogs of
progress. Without them religion
would harden into a cruel tyranny of
superstition, falsehoods would be crys-
tallized in power and ancient fraud
live forever. They harass mankind
into being honest.—Frank Crane.

The origin of a black cat that at
intervals makes his appearance In St.
Regis is somewhat of a mystery, but
he always shows up, according to tha
entertainment department, when
wedding reception Is going on, relates
the New York Sun. His last appear-
ance was at a reception the other day.
The guests had all congratulated the
bride and bridegroom and were sam-
pling the buffet when from, apparently
nowhere in particular Master Tom
appeared, apparently feeling very
much at home and trying to frater-
nize with the invited guests. A horri-
fied employe removed him, but Tom
found his way back, and then again
until he was conveyed to the street.

Care of the Eyee.
If a woman has the slightest diffi-
culty with her sight, she should lose
no time in consulting an oculist. Noth-
ing will bring undesirable crows' feet
more quickly than straining the eyes,
and local treatment to prevent the
lines will be inefficacious if the seat
of the trouble is not attended to. It is
far better to wear glasses when sew-
ing and writing than to let the whole
face have a drawn and aged look.
Of course, massaging about the cor-
ners of the eyes will make a tremen-
dous improvement in a woman's ap-
pearance, but the work will be with-
out results unless she does it regularly
every night. Also, if she is trying to
smooth away crows' feet, she must re-
member that stroking is not to be
done so severely as to loosen the skin,
which would cause bagginess, but
merely that friction is to stimulate cir-
culation, nourishing the skin tissues.
The Everglades.
The region known as the Everglades
of Florida is about 60 miles long by 55
miles broad, and is one vast swamp,
studded with islands of from a quarter
of an acre to hundreds of acres in ex-
tent. These islands are generally cov-
ered with dense thickets of shrubbeny
or vines, and occasionally with lofty
pines and palmettos. The water is
from one to six feet deep, the bottom,
as a rule, covered with a growth of
rank grass. During the rainy season,
from July to October, the district com-
prised in the Everglades is practically
impenetrable. The vegetable deposits
of the Everglades is considered well
adapted to the growth of banana and
other fruits, and when properly drain-
ed the region will undoubtedly be one
of the most fertile on earth.

MAY BEAT PACER'S RECORD
Performance of Uhlan on Half Mile
Track Leads Horseman to Be-
lieve New Mark Is Likely.
TThlan's feat in trotting a mile in
2:04?; over a half mile track Is in
some respects the most wonderful per-
formance that has ever characterized
the American trotting turf. One-quar-
ter of this greal mile was trotted in
30 seconds by the son of Blngen. two
others in 31 seconds each and the
filial' one In 30-%4 seconds. Possibly
some other trotter will appear that
will be able to lower this half mile
track record set by Uhlan, but it will
not be Boon.
The performance at Goshen will
open the eyes of horsemen generally
to the kind of a record IThlaii
will set some day this year when he
makes an attempt to lower the world's
record for trotters over a mile track.
How fast the black gelding will go un-
der perfect conditions Is a mere mat-
ter of conjecture, but it Is safe to say
that opinion on the Bubject Is vastly
different now than it was before the
horse turned the Goshen track twice
In 2:02%.
Before that It was generally thought
he might beat the 1:58% of Lou Dil-
lon. Now It Is a question of how
much he will beat the mark set by the

"Why are they?"
"Because they always take people

Whence the "Grass Widow."
To give positively the origin of the
expression "grass widow" appears to
be impossible. The authorities do not
agree on this point. One contends
that a woman who said to her friends
that her husband "had gone to grass"
following a separation is entitled to
the credit of coining the expression.
Other writers have attempted to
find an explanation of it in the French
word "grace," signifying a widow by
courtesy. In the Scandinavian lan-
guages the prefix "grass" being in
common use, others have conjectured
that it comes from the word "grad-
ing," meaning greedy; this signifying
a woman who longs for the husband
who is gone.
These give a wide enough choice.
