In Ejypt the defr ivai a friend and ' faithful bervant, says Natxre. He lived in the house with his master, followed him in his walks, atterkled the public ceremonies, sometimes free, at other times held in leash by a. slave or a child, or in princely families, by a favorite dwarf. At his meals ht had his place marked under the benches of the quests. The house do was shaved, combed and washed. He was sometimes tinted with henna, as if he were a woman. He wore fine collars on his neck, fur- 1 nifched sometimes with an earthenware clasp in the shape of a bell or Io er. Children played with him, became at tached to him, and the hero of one story, to whom his father hid predicted at his birth that he would die of the bite of a dog, willingly confronted the threatening danger rather than be separated from the dog he had raided. He, of course, had i. name to which he answered Si-toga, .he ferreter; Khaoubsen, the lamp or btar; Soubon, the strong, and Nahsi, the black. He is seen with kings as well as with common persons. Rameses II. during the earlier years of his reigr. was al ways escorted by a female doj. which was called Anaitiennaktou, oi "Brave as the Goddess Anaitis." A peity king of the eleventh dynasty, about olM) B. C, had five dogs, which he so lovedthat he carved their names and engraved their portraits on his tomb. They re. in deed, blooded animals, whose n;.mes re vealed their foreign origin. Tlx-, finest of them was called Abikarou, a faithful transcription of the word abaikur, by which the hunting dog is designated in many of the Berber districts. GROWTH OF THE HAIR. How It Ib Affected by Certain Kinds of Food Diet Affects the Length. The influence of diet upon the grt wth of hair is the subject of a paper in which the writer says: Several eases of shed ding of hair after influenza have con firmed my opinion that diet has much to do with the production and wi;h the cure of symptomatic alopecia. Hair contains five per cent, of sulphur, and its ash twenty per cent, of silicon and ten per cent, of iron and manganese. Solutions of beef, or rather part of it, starchy mixture, and even milk, which constitute the diet of patients with in fluenza and other fevers, cannot supply these elements, and atrophy' at the roots and falling of hair result. ; The color and strength of hair in young mammals is not attained so long as milk is the sole food. As to drugs, , iron has prompt influence. The foods which most abundantly contain the . above named elements are the various j albumenoids and the oat, the as-.ii of that grain yielding twenty-twc per cent, of silicon. I have often found a dietary largely composed of oatmeal and brown bread greatly promote the ; growth of hair, especially when the i baldness was preceded by constipation ; and sluggish capillary circulation. Those races of men who consume most meat are the most hirsute. CEREMONY AMONG BIRDS. The Iove of Display Among Species of the Feathered Tribe. The singular wattled, wing-spurred and long-toed jacanas have a queer kind of meeting.-Thcy usually go singly or in pairs, but occasionally, in response to a call by one of them, all who are within hearing leave off feeding and fly to one spot, where they walk about with their beautiful wings erect or half open, or waved up and down with a slow and measured motion. With these two species both sexes join in the display; but that of the spur winged lapwing is altogether peculiar, inasmuch as it takes place with three individuals only. These birds live in pairs, and at intervals during the dar or on moonlight nights one bird will leave his mate and fly to another pair a short distance away. These will re ceive the visitor with signs of pleasure. They place themselves behind him. first going to meet him, and all three march rapidly, uttering special notes, Then they stop; the leader stands erect with elevated wings uttering loud notes, while the other two, with pulled out plumage, standing side by bide, stoop forward till the tips of their beaks touch the ground, and with a low mur muring sound remain for some mo ments in this strange posture. Then the visitor goes back to his own mound and mate, and later on they receive a visitor whom they treat in the same ceremonious manner. They are said to be so fond of this form of visiting that they indulge in it all the year round. SOME QUEER FOOD. The Tempting: Hedgehog and the Baked Elephant's Foot. The hedgehog figures frequently in sylvan repasts, though he is hardly big enough to be sent to table as a piece de resistance. The primitive manner of cooking it supersedes the most costly refinements of elaborate batteries de cuisine. The elephant's foot, or rather the slice below the pastern, which is a famous dainty in eastern hunting camps, is treated on precisely similar principles, which shows that the simplest cooking of all nations has much in common, like their folk-lore. Shakespeare's British hedgehog, like its cousin, the porcupine, is shrouded in a plastic tenement of clay. Then he is laid to a temporary rest in a bed of smoldering cinders. When supposed to be done to a turn the dwarf pig is dug up, and then the prickly skin is detached with the split ting of the case of clay. All the generous juices, with their bouquet, have been confined and transfused. Koyal Funerals. It is said that the queen has recently been concerning herself with the ar rangement of royal fuDerals, and that her majesty has caused a long memo randum on the subject to be drawn up, with a variety of new orders which ex tend to the most minute details. In the future the body of a defunct male member of the royal family is to be placed in the cofSn in an attire of quite different material from that worn by a deceased female, and married people are not to be treated the same as the unmarried. The queen's solicitude ex tends even to the making of the coffins, and there are copious directions con cerning them. Embalming ia absolute ly prohibited. DKCK.MBER 22. 181)2. DOGS IN THE TURKISH CAPITAL. Hare Ko "perJal (Htcrn and Lire In trooin of Mi to Trn. The dogs of Constantinople f.mj a class of a.s much imp. rt.mee another Asiatic met-, says a e rre-p. nder:t f the Church Cnioii. The lhmp-ans have used their influence, backed ly money, to destroy these d.gv, either bv killing or banishing them; but the Turks from the humblest servant, who divides his crust with them, to the im perial sultan, who has them fed fn m his palace shows an atTeeti'n for th-m which hi surprising. The dog live in communities of six, eight or ten, and each set appropriates to itself a certain section of from one to three sqnaroa. The most intelligent dog seems, to be the president or commander of the group. They are very friendly with all the inhabitants who live in their special locality-, while they no recognition to those who their highway if they do reside there. Thev guard show pass not their ground and do not allow any other dog to intrude. I noticed one stray dog which eame around the corner, thereby infringing on the other dogs' territory; he was attacked at once, and ba rely es caped with his life. These dogs have no especial owner each block or square having its own group of dogs. They seem to know every man, woman and child who lives in their neighborhood, and their tails wag whenever anv of these make their appearance. I remember coming through one of the narrow streets late one night, and as it was quite warm I suddenly took on my coat and hat. One dog commenced to bark, then another and another followed suit. The guide told me I must put on my hat, as the dogs had recognized that I was a for eigner and that they were evidentlj dis pleased at my attempt to go through their principality in 1113 shirt sleeves. I took the advice of the guide and the howl of the dogs ceased. APPLES AS MEDICINE The rhosphorus Fonnd in Them 1b an Admirable Food for the Drain. Chemically, the apple is composed of vegetable fiber, albumen, sugar, gum, chlorophyl, malic acid, gallic acid, lime and much water, says Medical Age. Furthermore, the German analysts say that the apple contains a larger per centage of phosphorus than any other fruit or vegetable. The phosphorus is admirably adapted for renewing the essential nervous matter, lecithin, of the brain and spinal cord. It is, perhaps, for the same reason, rudely understood that old Scandinavian traditions represent the apple as the food of the gods, who, when they felt themselves to be growing feeble and in firm, resorted to this fruit for renewing their powers of mind and body. Also the acids of the apple are of signal use for men of sedentary habits whose lives are sluggish in action, those acids serving to eliminate from the body noxious matters which, if retained, would make the brain heavy and dull, or bring about jaundice or skin erup tions and other allied troubles. Some such an experience must have led to our custom of taking apple sauce with roast pork, rich goose and like dishes. The malic acid of ripe apples, either raw or cooked, will neutralize any excess of chalky matter engendered by eating too much meat. It is also the fact that such fresh fruits as the apple, the pear and the plum, when taken ripe and without sugar, diminish acidity in the stomach rather than provoke it. Their vegetable sauces and juices are converted into alkaline carbonates, which tend to counteract acidity. A WEED THAT EATS FISH. A Remarkable Instance of a Plant Which Is Carnl verous. Commander Alfred Carpenter, writing from Suakin, Red sea country, contrib utes the following remarkable instance of a plant preying upon one of the ver tebrata. The instance noted was ob served by him when surveying l'araeel islands, in the South China sea. " As I neared a pool cut off by the title from the sea I noticed among other sut marine plants a very ordinary looking flesh-colored weed. "Bending to inspect it closer I no ticed numbers of small fish lying help lessly in its fronds, apparently with lit tle or no life in them. Putting my hand down to pick one of them up I found my fingers caught by suckers on the weed, the fronds of which had closed tightly upon them. The fish had Wen caught in every conceivable way by the head, the tail, sides, etc., and some of them had been held until the skin was completely macerated. Those of the fish that were still living had evi dently been caught at different times, they appearing in all stages of exhaus tion. I regret being unable to name either the plant or the fish, but that the botanical cannibal really preyed upon the finny denizens of the deep there isn't the least doubt." HER ANNUAL DIVORCE. A Married Woman's Yearly Season cT Kesplte. "I don't know what I would do," said a very gay married woman to a Phila delphia Times writer, "if it were not for my annual divorce," she laughed. "Y'ou perhaps wonder what that is, but it is reall3 the greatest of social insti tutions, and I would die without it. I mean the six or eight weeks every sum mer that I can go away and be just like a young- girl once more. "I love Jack very dearly, but I would get very tired of him if it were not for this yearly respite. We are very happy now over our reunion, whereas if he had seen me every day all summer long he would be wanting to go out every nigh t and leaving me alone in stead of doing escort duty. It is a great scheme, and should be adopted by all wives." Poor, elastic wedding vows, we thought. "Till death do us part" has not the significance it once did in the good old days of our fathers and mothers, when an "annual divorce" would have been regarded with holy horror.

One of natur-', Mra; -.. f.-vak - ne of the iT'att woiider f the world is the Devil's tw-r. or a t!. Su.uj In dians mil it, the Vato- . ,-. . r the Kar s b-le, wh'u-h j-tunu on the t ank of the Belle I'tturvhe river, an a !. rt.h eastern county of Wyoming, kuvh the Portland Orogonian. The country T r fifty miles around o usit- high tab! land, deep canyon and narrow, fertile vallt'3- nothing to indicate the possi ble existence of any uch freak of na ture. The tower is a gigantic cxdutun. a monster oN.dik of lava, which ries t a height of ercnten hundrtst and twenty-seven fevt, almost twice the height of the Eiffel tower. At the ta. the huge shaft m.e;vsure three hundr-d and twenty-six feet through in one di reetion. Huge crystals of the volcanic rock, measuring one to three feet through, start at the bae and run un broken to the top, giving to the column a peuliar fibr tis appearauce, even when viewed from the tablelands forty milea away. How did it get there? How was it made? Once in awhile in the pn-M-nt age we have heard how portions of the Ixittom of one of the ix-eans have W n pushed up by volanie forces, and even a new ihland added to the chart.-.. A'es on aires ago similar volcanic force startod a jet of lavi up from the U.t tom of the ancient geological ocean that covered all the northwest at that time. The squirt of molten rock evi dently did not break through it into the waters alove. but froe, as an iron man would say, in the hole it "t ad made. This slow cooling olT. the iradual loss of its fierj energy, probably lasted f"r many long years, and gave time for the particles to arrange themselves in the huge crj'stals that arouse all our aston ishment to-day. MAGIC ART. Scholarly, Adroit and l'ej-ual I'mn of Kan Kiisjr. In all probability M. Renan, says the London Spectator, touched highwater mark in the art of discovering a right line in the art of obliquity, and of mak ing "no" look like "yes;'' but there are, all over the world, hundreds of men who instinctively follow the same plan; who cannot bear the slightest friction in social and intellectual intercourse; and who always start a contradict ion 13- pointing out that at bottom they en tirely agree with you, though then- is just one small and unimportant point on which they differ. You make a quotation or state a fact in the presence of a man of this type, ami knowing that it is his subject, ask whether you have "got it right." You have not; but this does not in the least incline him to put you right plainly and simply. He as sures you instead that your version is substantially eorreet; and then, by a series of subtle gradations, he manages to put into your mouth the true ston. A good illustration of the method of correction we mean is given by the story of the schoolmaster who was de termined not to discourage his pupils by abrupt corrections. On the occasion of the story, one of the lo3-s was asked to give the English of the word "niger." "White," was the prompt, reply. "White," answered the schoolmaster; "yes, you mean a sort of gray, a misty color, a dark neutral tint- in fact, black. Yes, quite right; niger, black. Go on, next boy." CURIOUS COURTING. FUher Folk Who Marry lu au OfT-IIand Fnnhlon. On the shores of the Moray Firth the spot need not be more specifically local ized there is a flourishing little village of some fourteen hundred inhabitants, consisting chiefly of Usher folk. The young man and maiden do not court in the orthodox fashion. Their method i.- much more prosaic, and what is charac teristic, of one case may generally be accepted as characteristic of them all. There is, of course, an occasional in stance of genuine old-fashioned court ship, but that is rather a rare excep tion. "Mother," said one 3-oung man on bis return from a successful herring fishing; "I'm goen to get merrid." "Wevl, Jeems, a' think 3'e sh'd just gang an ask 3er' cousin Marack." And, rvs he had no particular preference, he went straight away to ask her. " Wull ye tak me, Marack?' was the brusque and business-like query which he put to the young woman in the pres ence of her sister Bella. But Mary had promised her hand to another that same evening. "I carina tak ye, Jeems," was her reply; and then turning to her sister: "Tak ye "im, Bel lack." And the sister took him. Glass Eyes Are Cheap. Class eyes can now be purchased at less than one dollar each, although at this price there is not mu-h choice in the matter of shade. The cheapest grades are manufactured in (Jerrnauy, Vjut in some parts of England they arc produced at very trifling expense. The highest priced grades are made in Paris, whither very sensitive people who want to avoid detection of their loss have been known to travel from great dis tances in order to insure the greatest, variety to select from. There are hun dreds of shades, both i.'i the white and the dark pirtions, and deception i quite easy. A costly gbtss eye will lat nearly a lifetime, e: if it taken good t are of and not worn day and night. A Mammoth Ontrlch. There is at present in the London Zoological Gardens an African impor tation which bids fair to take the place of the late lamented JumUi in the heart of juvenile Britain. It is the great African ostrich which King Alimany Samadon presented to Queen Victoria. It is probably the largest specimen of the kind ever seen in Eu rope. It was ridden six hundred miles by young negro Ik-fore reaching Sierre Leone, where it was placed on board ship for Liverpool. During the long march the mammoth bird attacked and injured several natives, killing two of them. .'DVERTISEHS of ctr-,M wth to l tn ppi,of obtain ?in- m sdrtiiin2 tpscs whan in CH.cga, will fird it on fits at 15 to 49 Bwdolph St, TUHMMC hnUrrlpiUa SI.
