PURELY
MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS.
t It is said that a dog in Milliken,
Michu, possesses and uses daily a Jull set
jfess
of artificial teeth. The dog is very old;
and it is a family pet. When it lost its
teeth recently its owner, according to
the story, had the local dentist make
the animal a full set of teeth, and they
are said to be a perfect working suc
cess. The old notion that southern wom
en are languid, feeble folk ought to be
dispelled by the act of four women in
a suburb of Macon, Ga. A house took
fire during the night and the neighbors
gathered to help the inmates in saving
their effects, four women carried a
large upright piano from the parlor all
the way out into the middle of the
street unassisted.
A fox and a hunter together stalked
a partridge near Tyson, Vt., the other
dy, but each unknown to the other.
The bird alighted in an apple tree be
hind the barn, and the hunter tiptoed
around one side of the barn and brought
the bird down. But as the bird dropped
the fox, coming round the other side of
the barn, seized it and was off with his
dinner before the hunter could appre
ciate what had happened.
The tail of the crawfish serves that
animal as an oar. Uy a peculiar jerk
of the tail the animal con retire from a
dangerous object with almost incredi
ble swiftness. The tail is much more
effective in moving the animal back
ward than forward, a singular instance
of adaptation to its situation, for by
means of its tail it can withdraw into
its hole with such swiftness as in an
instant to place it out of danger.
The latest story of a wonderful
gold find in Alaska is of a lake whose
bed is literally paved deep with gold
dust. The lake is 1,000 yards long, 400
yards wide and 150 feet deep. It is fed
by water from a glacier, and its ouly
outlet is a little stream two feet deep,
but of incredible swiftness. The assay
of the sand which a sea captain brought
to Seattle recently showed $3 to $10 a
cubic yard, and on this basis a man
alone could take out $10,000 a year.
The big white moose recently shot
m the Maine woods by a Mr. Sargent-, of
Grafton, has greatly interested natural
ists as well as sportsmen. It is the only
white moose ever seen in Maine, and
very few have ever been heard of else
where. The naturalists say it is, of
course, not strange that there should
oe an amino moose, resulting from a
freak of nature, as white deer and other
albino game animals are not uncom
nion. uut wnite moose are a great
rarity.
HER FATHER'S OWN DAUGHTER.
Even to the Blatter of Proposal She In
sisted Upon Court Rales.
She was the daughter of a judge and
she listened with languid interest to
his plea.
"I love you devotedly," he cried, pas
sionately. I am prepared to devote my
life to you."
"Be specific in jour pleading," she
cautioned. "I)o not stray too far from
the point at issue."
He hesitated and then asked, earnest
ly: "Will you be my wife?
"Ah," she said, "now I see the point
you wish to make.
"I am not rich," he urged, "but I
have enough to give you a comfortable
home, and my prospects arc bright. I
offer you the love of an honest man.
who will do all in his power to make
you happy. I "
She stopped him by a gesture.
"It is useless to continue at present,"
she said, firmly but kindly. "There are
several cases ahead of vours ou the
docket."
"But," he protested, "I want"
She stopped him again.
"I must insist that these matters be
taken up in their regular order." she
said, sharply. "Put your proposition
in writing and file it with my maid,
and it will receive due attention when
it is reached in the regular course of
business. I haven't time to listen to
oral arguments in a case that can be as
well presented in briefs."
With a sigh he left, and put in his
time until late that night preparing a
petition for a rehearing. Chicago

The temperature of dining-rooms is
frequently too high. It is a common
thing for servants to neglect airing the
room and attending to the temperature.
Probably the majority of people would
name 70 Fahrenheit the proper heat for
the room, but this is much too high. An
authority in this matter says that 60
is none too low, and a person who has
suffered from the discomfort of an over
heated room is likely to agree with hint

Hade and Merit Maintains theoonfidenee
of the people in Hood's Saraaparilla. If a

That is just the truth about Hood's Sar

because it cures, not once or twice or a

What Did G. F. O. Mu ?
"One of the most curious blunders of
an author was that made by Thack
eray, when collecting material for his
'Irish Sketch Hook.' Driving along a
road, he saw at due intervals posts set
up with the letters "G. P. O.I upon

quired the meaning of these initials,
and was gravely informed that they
stood for tiod IVeserve OXTonnelir
Out came the tourist's note book, in
which a memorandum was at once
jotted down of the carious statement.
In the first edition of the sketches the
fact was duly mentioned, but it was
suppressed in all the subsequent issues,
owing to the tardy discovery that the
initials stood for "General Post Office,'
indicating that the highway was a post
road." It is due to the memory of
William Makepeace Thackeray to say
that the above happened not to him,
but to Lord Haddington when riding
into Dublin from Kingstown in
