■ - Dog Hypnotized The Fowls. From the Pittsburgh Post. • Jt is an easy thing to hopnotize a chicken by drawing a circle of chalk on the ground, then laying t he chicken within the ciicle and placing its beak on the chalk line, but it remains for a Staten Island setter dog to exert upon a number of chickens a mesmeric influence, compelling them to form them- se lves into a circle and stand transfixed as long as he wills. This dog, which is owned by Rob ert Cartwright, of Newdrop, S. I., is the cause of complaint by the neighbors who own chickens. The other day a neighbor came running over to the setter’s own er and requested him to take his dog home. “You don’t tell me that he has killed any of your chickens?” Mr. Cartwright queired. “No,” replied the neighbor hot ly, “but he has cleaned bewitched and demoralized every fowl on the place. Come over and see for yourself.” The two men made their way to an open field, where a strange sight presented itself. From twen ty-five to thirty chickens were ranged in a perfect oircle, each poised on one leg, with necks out stretched and eyes fixed on a large setter dog that stood point ing them, fifty feet away. The dog stood on three legs, with fore foot raised and doubled under. His heard was trained forward, nose pointing the circle of chick ens and tail rigidly extended be hind. The feathered bipeds were clearly under a hypnotic spell, and remained immovable in the circle until the dog was called away. Mr. Cartwright has since learn ed that his setter plays the same trick on the poultry of all his neighbors with the peculiar re sult that the output of eggs has rapidly diminished. Ho Didn’t Want “Any Aigs.” Au exchange tells this story of a Chattanooga merchant who in stalled a telephone near the front door of his shop and one morning stepped up to the transmitter to answer a call. Just at that mo ment a north Georgia farmer, who had never seen a telephone before, came into the place and inquired, “Wanter buy any aigs?” The merchant, who was intent upon getting his message, gazed ab stractly at the farmer and told the telephone, ‘T can’t hear youl” “Wanter buy any aigs?” shouted the farmer in a voice that made the windows rattle. Still unable to hear the man who was calling him, the merchant again remark ed, this time without looking at the farmer, “I can’t hear you!— speak louder!” For the third time the farmer spoke, roaring out his previous question so loud that people stopped and asked what the trouble was. This had the desired effect. The merchant left the telephone, forgetting the call, and turning savagely on the intruder, remarked: “No!d—n it, I don’t want any eggs I” The farmer smiled, and as he went out was heard to remark softly, “I never did see one o’ them deaf fellers but whut I could make ’em hear me if I only let myself out.” The Stomach controls the sit uation.

Nsw York World. It is J shrewd decision of King Edward a ministers that the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and York shall visit Durban. The seaport of Natal has suffered ter ribly by the war in the Transvaal, anb it is a Maxim in British poli tics that a dissatisfied people may Joe placated, when remedies are impossible,by permitting the sun shine of a royal countenance to tall upon them. Even in Ireland the visit of Queen Victoria in the last|year of her life won friends when, owing to the war, they were badly needed. The journey of the Duke to Aus tralia and New Zealand was plan ned to give a social and political “boom” to the new Australian federation at a time when the mother country was drawing heav ily upon the colonies for troops. After the death of the Queen the idea was dropped. But the neces sities of the case have called it into being again and caused South Af rica to be added to the route. Everything has been done to in sure the safety of the Duke. His trip is to take place in our sum mer, the winter of the far south. The arrival in Durban is timed for the cool, dry weather of August, when the worst of the winter is past, and before the summer heats —which have slain so many of King Edward’s soldiers, but to whicn an heir to the throne may not be exposed—have begun. It is possible that the trip to Durban may be followed by a brief stay in Cape Town, if the people show themselves worthy of royal favor by falling in with the British plans for their re-construction. The Duke is well used to such ceremonials. He and the Princess Louise are the most travelled members of the royal family. In many a distant colony the coming of the Duke when he was a jolly sailor years ago, the visit of Prin cess Louise and the trees she plan ted and the hospitals she opened, and the more recent stays of Mark Twain, and three staples of con versation as unfailing as the weather. Now that the Duke is heir to the Kingdom, his coming is an even greater honor. His visit to South Africa will be an occasion for feverish patriot ism among colonials of British blood. How it will effect the Dutch in Natal and elsewere is another matter. Strikes A Rich Find. “I was troubled for several years with chronic indigestion and nervous debility,” writes F. J. Green, Lancaster, N. H., “No remedy helped me until I began using Electric Bitters, which did me more good than all the medi cine I ever used. They have also kept my wife in excellent health for years. She says Electric Bit ters are just splendid for female troubles; that they are a grand tonic and invigorator for week, run down women. No other med icine can take its place in our family.” Try them. Only 50/. Satisfaction guaranteed. Holtz- claw’s drugstore. It will be noted that when a man does not want to respect a law, he begins to insist that it is a falure. Learned and Lived. nengion may be learned on Sun day, but it is lived in the week days’ work. The torch of religion may be lit in the church, but it does its burning in the shop and on the street. Religion seeks its life in prayer, but it lives its life in deeds. It is planted in the closet, bnt it does its growing out in the world. It plumes itself for flight in songs of praise, but its actual flights are in works of love. It resolves and med itates on faithfulness and it reads its Christian lesson in the Book of Truth, but “faithful is that faithful does.” It puts its armor on in all the aids and helps of the sanctuary as its dressing rooms, but it com bats for the right, the noble and the good in all the activities of prac tical existence, and its battle-ground is the whole broad field of life.— John Dougherty. The Lincoln (Neb.) Journal says: “The Kansas Senate the other even ing, amid the rustling of thousands of skirts in the galleries, passed a complete woman suffrage bill, giving women the ballot in presidential and all other elections. The next morn ing, when the women were away, thinking themselves perfectly safe, they reconsidered the vote and kill ed the bill deader than a herring. Nobody will complain hereafter when the Kansas dames seize their axes and go out to war. They have prov- o cation. The Fifty-seventh Congress wil ba more strongly republican than its prdecessor, the 56th, just ended. In the House of Representatives there will be 198 republicans, 151 demo crats and 8 of the other parties. In the Senate there are 53 republicans, 29 democrats, 4 populists, 1 inde pendent republican, 1 silver and 2 independents. The responsibility for legislation during the next two years will rest upon the shoulders of the party of the administration.. Off Sabine pass in the Gulf of Mexico there is a well-known oil pool of considerable extent, which has in times past been a sought-for refuge in tempestuous weather. The explanation of its perence is that the oil, coming perhaps from the same level as that which spouts from the great well at Beaumont, Tex., works its way thrpugh the sands at the bottom of the Gulf and so rises to the surface of the water.
