itiflf market there, with higher price
expected, shortly, and the Portland

creamery men have complained of
scarcity. " """' '
In the country creamery trade the
situation, is even stronger. 1 For a
month the upply of the leading coun
try brand ha been short of the de

lhat Its 8iz and 8hap Are Said to
Indicata.
A high forehead to be very good
should be well developed about tbe
eyebrows.
rireadtu of forehead Is always favor
able. It Is distinctly connected with
breadth of character.
A forehead that curves back reveals
a poetic temperament, fondness for
the arts and a talent for either music
or palutlni;.
Of course a broud forehead may be
part of a weak face, and a weak chin
and mouth will naturally give a truer
Ininmurion of character than even a
combination of a narrow forehead
with an otherwise strong face.
If there Is quite a perceptible bulge
of the eyebrows, combined with a high
forehead, the sign is of a calm, cool,
deliberate thinker. , '
If with tbi-se eyebrows is combined
a forehead that slopes gradually back,
a seusltlvc, poetic temperament is dis
closed. If, again, tbey are combined
with a short, narrow forehead, the
subject will be successful In business
and In everything connected with
worldly matters, but be will be In
capable of appreciating to any extent
or of creating anything connected with
tbe arts. New York American.

are bitten dally by the dogs of Cou
stantlnople, but that a cam of hydro
phobia was never known tbcro. Three
centuries ago Nasuf Fasba, grand
vizier to Achmet III., transported all
tbe dogs to Asia and would have had
them destroyed there, but th sultan,
on consulting the mufti, was told that
every dog bad a son! and .consequently
forbade such wnolesa! destruction.
After tbe slaughter of the Janizaries

poisoned them, gave the dogs a feast.
Many thousands were thus killed la

The Dog Morland Painted.
Of the many stories of tbe seemingly
unconscious heroism of Newfoundland
dogs none is more Interesting than the
one concerning tbe noble dog wbicb
Morland afterward painted. '
When William Phillips, bathing at
Portsmouth, ventured beyond bis depth
and was drowning, two boatmen, In
stead of setting ont to bis rescue, hag
gled about a reward from the bystand

controversy a Newfoundland Hog
leaped Into the water and brought the
exhausted bather to shore. Mr, Phil

honor of his rescuer. .
It was for Mr. Phillips that norland

knives. Braccala awoke and, anoslng
his wife, told her what b bid seen.
She tried to calm him, bat walls they
were still discussing the matter a
noise was beard In front of the house,
and, hastening down, Ume. Braccala
opened the door Just In time to catch
her son In ber arms as be fell swoon
ing to the ground. Be had been at
tacked and stabbed and died shortly
afterward.

SAW IT IN A DREAM.
WHICH WAS RIGHT?
A Lost Chock and tho Peculiar Way It
Was found. ,
A wealthy New York lawyer sat up
late one night writing letters be had
not been able to finish during the day.
It was past midnight when be went out
to mail them, and when he returned
and was undressing he paused in dis
may, missing a check for a large sum
received during the day and taken
home with him. In vain was the house
ransacked at that late hour. He weal
to bed convinced thttt the lost check
must be in tbe bouse. An hour later
he fell into uneasy slumber and beheld
as with bis eyes of the flesh the pink
check curled about an area railing four
or five doors from bla own house.
So real was tbe dream that the tron
bled man woke up, dressed and, slip
plug down the stairs into the street
walked along tbe sidewalk to a spot
still seen vividly in his mind, and there,
sura enough, standing edge upward and
partly curled about the iron, was the
missing check. "I think," he reported
to the Psychical Research society, "my
subconaclousness unist have noticed it
fall from my pocket as I walked to tbe
mall box and my subliminal self point
ed It out to me In 6leep."-WUliam G.

k young man named Enathlns de
sired to learn eloquence and art ot
pleading, and he bargained wltb Pro
tagoras, the ancient Greek sophist, foi
Instructions, agreeing to pay one ball
of the fee down and the other half on
tbe first day be gained a case. It took
the young man so long to learn that
his tutor came to the conclusion that
he was delaying his start In business
to avoid paying the other half of th
fee, so Protagoras sued him for tht
money.
When the case came up for trial Pro
tagoras said to the young man: "Yon
act most absurdly, young man, be
cause in either case you must pay me
If the judges decide against you, you
must pay, and if they decide for you
you must pay, for you will then have
gained your case." '
"You are wrong." replied the young
man. "I will win either way. If the
Judges ore for me. 1 will not have tc
pay, and if they are against me I will
not have to pay, for this last was the
very bargain between us-namely, if 1
did not win my case." , .
The Judges considered the case inex
plicable, uud as they could not see
their way to any decision they ad
journed tbe case to "a day that neve:
