There Jimmy's mother plucked a grape and held It to her boy's lips. He swallowed It and with his eyes asked for more, Crape after grape was eat en by the patient till the last one on the bunch was gone. Then the boy slept, with Zip In his arms. At 10 o'clock the nurse took Jimmy's temperature and discovered that it was nearly normal. At 11 the doctor came and was astonished at the change In the boy's condition. In the morning Jimmy ate a good breakfast and. hearing the word Christmas spo ken, asked for bis presents. That was a happy day for all. espe cially Zip. who had turned the scale. J 0 HINT'S CIS By SARAH BRYCE BOWEN. Copyright. 1309. by American Preaa Asso ciation. J Ou Christmas morning while Jimmy was trying hard to dress himself the buttons were all too big for tbe holes. he said he heard a suarp bark down stairs. Jimmy stopped at once, and his eyes and ears were wide open. At another bark, half dressed, he dashed out of bis room and downstairs. There in tbe library be saw us pretty a little fox terrier as ever stepped on four feet. Jimmy stood looking at the ter rier, and the terrier stood with his pointed nose and sharp eyes turned directly ou Jimmy. Then by way of making Jimmy's acquaintance be wag ged his tall. At that moment Jimmy's father came into the room and said: "He's your Christ uias present. Jim. How do you like lilin?" Jim wus so wrapped lu admiration of his dog that he made no reply. Finally he gasped: "Is he really all mine, papa?" "All yours, sonny. I Intended to give him to yon at breakfast, but bis park stood In the way. Come: we three will go up and tlnlsb your dressing. I sup pose i'l have to help yon now that your attention is diverted from your clothes. Come ou. Zip." "Is that bis name?" "That's a good one for him, don't you think so? He looks as If his name might be Zip." And Zip the terrier continued to be called. There Is as much affinity be tween children and dogs as there is enmity between dogs and cats. From the moment Jimmy saw Zip he loved him. mid from the moment Zip saw Jimmy be adored blm. Jimmy began to go to kindergarten that year, and from the time be departed Zip did nothing but wait for his return, in deed, be would have gone with bis lit tle muster bad the door not been shut on him when Jimmy went out. But as soon as Jimmy came home Zip re sembled rubber ball on the bound. He jumed all over tbe boy, his ex pression plainly denoting his Joy. Then what times Zip and Jim would have together! They would romp till Jim was too tired to romp any longer. Then Jim would get out his toys, and Zip would sit by watching bira. turn ing his little head at Jim's every mo tion. Jimmy's parents objected to the two friends passing the night as well as the day together, and this was a great hardship for both the dog and the boy. Many a time, notwithstanding great precaution, the family would waken in the morning to Bud Zip and Jim in bed together. Jimmy's mother threatened to send his pet away if be did it again. One morning Zip waited as be was always directed to wait for his chum to come down to breakfast. Jimmy did not come. Zip noticed that tbe father and mother looked anxious, and the dog was himself correspondingly worried. He ran this way and that way. butting bis nose against a door that confined him. and when a maid Music of ths Telegraph. Every one has put bis ear to a tele graph pole to heur the wires hum, and most people have assumed that the wind was entirely responsible for the sound. So It Is lu many cases, but often the note Is heard when not the slightest movement of .the air Is per ceptible. A French investigator tells us that the sound lu this case is due to the expansion aud contraction of the wires from variations of tempera ture. As the wires are not perfectly uniform, they rub against the insula tors, making a slight noise, which is amplified by the post acting as a sounding board. Another investigator is sure the sounds are due to electric waves, but lie falls to explain how or dinary telegraph wires should be able to serve as wave detectors and in what way the electric waves are transform ed into sound waves. Tbe other theo ory seems more probable. Some curious stories are told of this telegraph wire music. In Siberia the bears think that it is tbe buzzing of bees aud would tear down the poles to look for honey If the contractors did not pile great stones about them to prevent this. In France, on the south side of the forest of Fontainebleau, the telegraph sounds are regarded as presaging rain. This is because lie south wind In this region brings rain and the forest shuts off the north wind. In some districts the noise is popularly supposed , to be due to the passage of messages, but it Is hardly necessary to say that there Is no evi dence to support this view. Philadel phia luqulrer.
