ONE TRUE AFFINITY 18 THAT EXISTING BETWEEN A BOY AND HIS DOG. Are Natural Companions, and That Youngster Who Has Never Had a Four-Footed Chum Is to Be Fitied. If there was i‘vt'1 n true nfllnity upon this old earth. It exists between a boy and a dog. The boy who does not just naturally love a dog is not normal provided lie lias ever owned and associated witli one. Nature lias (eft something out of him which should be there. In these days of tabloid domestic economy, when fam ilies live in pigeonholes and city peo ple almost forget what fields and woods look like, we have tried to eliminate tlie dog from ills rightful place: ilis place Is that of a faith ful companion, vigilant guardian and < hum who never has a grouch, never demands more than a bone and does not care whether his master Is a prince or a pauper. We are trying to raise children without dogs We are trying to cultivate in our boys and girls the vlriiies of love, patience, kiiidlini: c and humanity without giv ing them dogs. In the grist of a great city's news the other day was the story of a boy ten years old who had a dog. Tills animal had no pride of pedigree, but that didn't make (lie least difference. Tlie boy had some bad companions and he ployed truant from school. In some way or other the boy’s parents blamed the faithful dog. The boy was forced to give his pet to a neighbor and th< boy's family moved far into another part of tin: city. The boy yearned for his dog. His little heart was broken and he cried day and night. One day this boy tied a few things into a package, took five dol- 1 bus from his mother's dresser and went away. Me walked fur back to where his dog was, and two days later he was found playing with his four footed friend. Then the officers anil the parents did a surprising tiling. They locked up thin little boy and took away ills dog. And they wondered what they were going to do with the boy. And again the boy cried and was uneon Holable. The parole-officer said: “That boy is a proposition. When he has his dog he is a good boy, but he will not be separated. I expect that the dog will have to be returned to him.” The boy who will cling so tenacious ly to liis dog is not inherently bad. What possible harm can come from giving him back his chum? These must be strange parents who will de liberately deprive a child of ten years of Ids dearest treasure. The writer of this lias deep sympathy for this bereaved youngster, for far back In the haze of his vanished youth there was a dog til at he loved better • ven than the school teacher. That, dog was ever at Ids heels and shared in all bis boyhood joys and sorrows. If ihere is something tiiat corresponds to a woodshed in heaven, we hope Hint that faithful old tail is still wag ging lustily. Out of wearying re sponsibilities. grinding duties and the turmoil of manhood estate we take time to raise our voice against that unkind conspiracy which is trying to rob tills ten year-old boy of Ids dog. Women of Brussels. Tlic length of life of an average woman, in Brussels, at loaRt, is super iur to man. Statistics show that dur ing tin- last two years the feminine element has predominated In the Brussels population. In 1908 there wi re only 7.848 boys in tiie Belgian capital between the ages of 10 and lft, and 7,903 girls of the same age. After 20 years the difference Increases in favor of the woman, and while Brussels only possessed 9,383 males of 20 to 25 years and 9.181 of 25 to 30 the fairer half of the human race was represented by 11,701 and 10,899 respectively. The supremacy the iemlnitie element keeps positively to the end, as far as Brussels is con cerned. Willie Brussels lias only 65 men of 85 or 90 years nnd ten nona genarians only, she can count 184 women between the tiges of 85 and 90 35 of 95 years, and six of more than 95 years. Good Health Habits. Put the heaviest meal ufler the close of the day's work, and your 111 health will not he traceable to your habits of eating nor to your food, provided you Unit yourself to moderate meals. By eating a portion of meat with one of bread, and adding fresh vegetables end water, every need of the body ran be supplied without overloading the stomach. Meals, to do good and maintain the t ody, must be eaten deliberately and thoroughly masticated. On this ac count it would be well to use more extensively than Is common In this country the plan of serving meals In courses. Canadian Snowshoes. The Canadian snowshoe consists of n flat frame of lanceolate form, from one to two feet In width and from three to five feet in length, It Is w holly of wood, or Is a long, narrow frame of pliable hickory, placed on edge, bent double with oval front and the two ends firmly fastened behind, filled with wicker work or thongs and with cross straps on the upper surface to attach 1t to the foot. The broad surface pre vents the foot from sinking In the snow. The Norwegian snowshoe is a thin board from five to ten feet long and three inches wide, with the fore end slightly curved upward. SELF-DENIAL CF MOTHERS Called On to Make Sacrifices That Should Come Back a Hundredfold to Blesj Them. The story of a mother s sacrifices Is a pretty big one to exhaust in a moment. Once there was a senator who eatue to a pul I- platform with the opening remark: “The subject as signed to me is 'The Immortality of the Soul,' the time, three minutes." To break right into the middle of this question, then, are a mother’s self-de nials sacrifices? The answer lies in the way she looks at it. It rests also in the way the world views it and in the way her children see it. Now, the world will tell you, per haps, that pile owes tt to her children to give up everything within reason (and without It) to those who are her responsibility; that it is without ques tion a sacrifice; and there the world will stop. After this superficial sum ming up on the part of the world, it may be just as well that it should Step out and leave the floor to chil dren and their mothers. It Is undeniable that women havs gone through fire and water for chil dren, and it Is pitiably true that in) many instances their very own chil dren have nevt-r known it. Women have practiced self-offacement with a blind devotion that meant the final tin doing of those whom they would have helped. This, then, Is sacrifice—un meaning sacrifice. And then there Is a holy tiling not quite self-abnegation, because it has escaped that futile quality. It. is de votion that is not blind, but lit its se curity has demanded Something in re turn for what it gives. It saves those Who otherwise might have been its victims. t Mother love that is strong in its in sistence upon some return calls out a just response and tilings up men and women instead of weaklings ami dependents. Long days of home-making that might have drifted Into drudgery, and longer nights of weary nursing that might have become slavery are saved to the stronger woman by the appreci ation site has called forth. The host, of big things she has relinquished, and till the little things she has passed on to others, have come back a hundred fold to bless her. So a mother sees it; this Is what sacrifice means to a devoted woman. She would assure you there Is no such thing Woman Won World's Admiration. The ex-queen of Naples, Emperor Francis Joseph's sister-in-law, is the only woman who has received the Russian Cross of St. George, which is only conferred for acts of conspicuous bravery under fire, lunl the ex-queen received it in recognition of the cour age she displayed In connection with the magnificent defense of Gaeta against the armies of Garibaldi and King Victor Emmanuel One day din ing Ihe siege a bomb fell into the room where King Francis and Queen Sophia were dining. King Francis re treated to the cellar, trembling with flight. Queen Sophia rose from the table and walked to a looking glass that hung on the wall and, noticing that her hair was whitened by the plaster dust raised by the bursting bomb, said, quite calmly: "What a pity it is that powder is no longer fashionable? Don't I look quite an eighteenth century queen with my whitened hair? i must keep it so while the garrison I; being reviewed." Queen Sophia conducted the entire defense of Gaeta, which was so mag nificent that the garrison was permit ted to march out with all the honors of war. Every day she visited the ramparts and encouraged officers and men She sighted the guns and her example shamed those who were dis posed to surrender into an appearance of courage. Student of Human Nature. Once upon a time, when Senator Robert Taylor of Tennessee was ‘‘Fiddling Hob" Taylor, and on a lec ture tour, be picked up an old railroad man who was on the bum and trans ported him north from Louisiana, says the Washington correspondent of the New York World. The bum was an interesting fellow and the governor enjoyed Ills conversation Immensely. While the train was rolling along be tween Lake Charles and Alexandria, on a branch of the Texas railroad, it entered a thick pine forest. All of a sudden it stopped. A lone flagman's shanty was the only sign of human habitation. A passenger on the train grabbed a small handbag and got off the train. "Governor,” said Senator Taylor's bum friend, “a man t ha I gets off at a place like tills is guilty of some thing." Better Left Unsaid. Little Jane had been learning about germs and other scientific liilngH at school, and the fact that kissing was regarded by medical men as a danger ous pastime had been impressed upon her young mind. "Papa,” she said, in her grave fash ion, nodding at him across the table, "wasn't you afraid to kiss mamma when you were first engaged?" "Oh, no," replied papa blithely, "mamma was Quito good looking, then." Approximately. "She says you are crazy." "She does?" "She didn't use those words ex actly.' "Can’t you tell me what she said, ap proximately ?” “She said you are in love with her.” —Houston Post. ROMANCE ALL GONE DEFINITE END PUT TO PLEAS URES OF IGNORANCE. Exploration of Previously Unknown Portions of the Earth Has for the Most Part Left People Sad ly Disillusioned. \ young English officer, equipped scientifically for his task, has just gone around that his black spot oil the map. Lake Tchad, and also has explored thoroughly the lake and its Islands. He lias added to human knowledge, but he has not earned human gratitude, as he has planted a cold, hard and uninter esting fact where a stimulating mys tery so long dwelt Tchad for general tons had a place among the great lakes, larger than Erie but smaller than Huron, a magni ficent expanse of water, hidden from the white world by the great wilder ness of Africa. The unfeeling English man has cut it down from 14,000 square tulles to less than 2,000, even In the rainy season, and he says that its average depth Is not more than five feet In fact, that it Is only tv huge swamp, tar from pleasant to the eye. Thus another illusion of middle-aged and elderly people lakes wings. Whenever a new geographical fact Is ascertained there is loud acclaim. But ought we to congrat date ourselves be cause all the world is being mapped, measured, classified and strewed with empty tin cans and old newspapers? Now that Peary has been to the north pole it. is not nearly so fascinating a place as it used to be The English, If they' can reach the south polo, may have it and In welcome to it. We have vaken the gilt off one polo, and that is enough for us. Fifteen or eighteen years ago there was a peak in the Interior of New Guinea a full half mile higher than Mount Everest, and fireside travelers loved to dwell upon Its magnificence, but unrouiatitle Germans in spectacles, and probably pudgy, too, have proved Hint so far from being higher than Mount Everest it Is only half as high. We do not thank them. The great charm of the South Seas lay In the vague, misty color of doubt that overhung them. Any day tv hold New England skipper In Ills sailing hark might happen upon a lino Island inhabited by a gentle grown race. The chance has passed forever. We know all the islands, and we are selling clothes and rum on every one of them. Darkest Africa was far more inter esting to most men than an Africa strung with railroad and telegraph lines and dotted with tame lions. Can not the explorers leave us a few cor ners of the earth where fancy may roam and romance have Its hiding place? Robbing the Sick. Better than London, bettor than Paris, bettor than Berlin, better than any oilier large city in the world, New York looks well after its sick poor. There are free hospitals and dis pensarles by the score. Even in tlie luxurious private hospitals there are free beds. There are free institutions for the care of contagious diseases, free vaccination, free diphtheria serum. Thero nre funds for the care of tuberculous patients without means. Yet with all this public and private charity, tlie hospitals and dispensaries are constantly taxed to their capacity. A large proportion of the metropolitan population, self-respecting and self- j supporting, is able to care for itself In times of health. With illness, however, with the stoppage of wages that gen erally ensues, It often becomes en- 1 t.irely impossible to supply medical '< care and attention. It is for such per sons as these that the city's dis pensarles are intended. An investigation at Bellevue has shown that frequently persons of means go there for treatment. Un- i doubtedly this Is true at many other institutions |)r lirannan has asked1 the board of estimate to pay an in vestigator to detect such cases. 11 is request should be granted. Persons with means to pay for med ical care who patronize dispensaries a.. robbing the sick. They *5h•-■tiId by all means tie exposed. New York World. Diamonds on the Feet. The diamond garter has been a fad for many years, but recently Berlin women have decided the garter Is not worth the trouble and expense, now that the sheath gowns have gone out of vogue. To have large diamond ear rings was all very well, and rings on dainty hands will always he In fash Ion, but what more could the fast Id 1 ous woman ask than a sparkling hand of diamonds around her ankle? First one of the women in the kaiser's court started it. Others were willing to en u late her. and now when there Is a dance the circlet of gems on the ankle In evltably calls attention to a small foot and a shapely ankle. But the one drawback to these ornaments Is that sometimes they become loose and are lost. But the plain gold band Is used to take the place of the bejow eled circlet, and women risk wearing those In the streets Philosophers on School Board, Anterlcus, Ca., hadn't had a snow since 1895, so when the white flakes began to fall there the other day the schools w'ere dismissed so that the f-hlldren might enjoy the visit of the beautiful.

SOLDIERS UNDER TWO FLAGS How the Call of Adventure Under For eign Colors Has Brightened History. Tlu> \morican may tie pardoned for yielding to *h»» lure of adventure in for eign wars, and those two whose recent execution In Nicaragua belonged to a large and noble company of soldiers of fortune who fought, sometimes for pure love of fighting, sometimes for re venge. hut more often for love of lib erty and very rarely for pure love of gain Not all the heroes of history , have been those who fought under their own Hag The Dutch government took a deservedly prominent part in tile recent celebration of the Hudson Hutton centennial, hut Hudson was an Kngllshman who sailed under the flag of Holland, and while he was not a soldier of fortune in the belligerent sense of the word, he was one of tlie world's greatest adventurers who won his fame under a foreign standard Christopher Columbus was an Italian, who discovered -or rediscovered a continent and planted on the sands of the western world the banner of Spain. Apparently, Indubitable and exhaustive researches hy Minnesota historians and scientists have proved that Colum bus came here centuries after (lie Scandinavians discovered America, whose very name was derived from that of another Italian Chinese Gor don's sobriquet indicates his career, and the history of the orient Is replete with instances ol Kuroponns who rose to power, while American colonial his tory hears on Its pages the names of I ■ ' - tt< .

When tile roster of all the world's armies of conquest and defense, of do minion and discovery, of exploration and expansion, is scanned, it Is found that more than one ling flouted over many a hero, and that detection under a foreign banner is not self confessed outlawry, worthy of execration and punishment -:_ i Neon and Electric Waves. II has recently been discovered that, the rare atmospheric gas noon read ily becomes luminous under the Influ ence of electric waves, and It Is nug gested that the property may afford a means of visually reading wireless telegraph messages. Prof VY I,. Dud ley experimented with a tuht* of neon during an Atlantic voyage In July, Hnd found that the gas glowed beau tifully In response to the waves sent out from the wireless apparatus of the ship, hut the received waves were ap parently loo weak to affect It sensi bly. Further experiment may result In the discovery of a means of utiliz ing this property of neon us a detector of received signals. At present it is employed to measure the length of electric waves sent out. The length of those tested by Prof Dudley was about 800 feet. Victim of a Soft Heart. The prison visitor looked at the oc cupant of cell No. 10 through eyes that were dim with tears, and passed a few more fragrant blossoms between the Iron bars. "You poor unfortunate!" she ex claimed "So you were brought to this through sympathy for another. Tell me all about It. Perhaps something can he done to set you free ." "Well, mum, i was this way," ex plained the convict. 'When me nnd my mate cracked the crib we found the hank watchman ash > p an' v.o tied an' ' gagged him.

A Fatal Superstition A peculiar cuhc Illustrative of the fell power of superstition Is reported from Ooduababba, Australia. The death occurred a short time ago of an aborigine, ' Navvy Tom,” a black of fine physique, whose portrait appears on the cover of Mr Foster Fraser'si work, "Quaint Subjects of the King " This native was comparatively Intelli gent and civilized, having been In the employment of whites for many years and physically he was about the llnest type In the northwest, yet he died be-; cause another black, an enemy, pointed a bone at hint.

About sixty years ago a few poor workmen In Rochdale. Knit . formed a little co-operative society and started a store which was kept open evenings by the members, who took turns In serving as storekeepers. They were earnest, hard headed and piaetieal Idealists, says the Twentieth Century Magazine. Net li is doubtful if the most sanguine of their number in those early days conceived how great would be the movement that should materialize out of what was In augurated In so humble a way. From that little* beginning has grown one of the most successful on terprises of its kind (treat wholesale societies, enormous warehouses, stores, factories and shops and a fleet of ocean steamers are but a few visible results and valuable assets of tills great fraternal federation of workers.

A delegation of peddlers and rep resentatives of peddlers has appeared before the council judiciary commit tee to luge the repeal of the anti noise ordinance.

If some peddlers had to stop yelling and others didn't the re sult would be unfair competition, but when all stop together none Is any the worse off It was pointed out at the council hearing that no Greek ped dlers were complaining of the ordl nance, the reason being that the Greeks used more progressive meth ods than yelling and found them prof itable.
