Existence of an American Woman’s Pet Canine. mae & Sulteof Rooms at a First-Class | French Hotel—Maid Devotes En- tire Time to Caring for His Wants. , Mira. E. Harrison Posner, wife of a v rich American, has a dog named The dog is now occupying a " a t in a hotel at Trou- \ France, frequented by miilion- ; nobles and other persons of dis- dpetion. He is attended by a maid t of quaifties, described in the lowing advertisement: Wanted—A frst-ciass young woman as jambermaid to a z of high breeding. Must possess al! continental requirements, 0€ of gentle disposiiion, amiauiec, fond of alnmals and respectable. Verba: references required, Address —~, Hotel —.

There is nothing extraordinary yo the dog, as a dog. He is a smai! rier, with hair-of great length and ‘kiness, through which peep a pair of leverishly bright little eyes, The animal has been codfled unt!) he is sickly and has an appetite a: tainty as aqspoiled child.

One Handred to Be Given by Uni- versity to Students Showing Prom- ise of Achievement. One hundred scholarships, open to stu- dents from any part of the country who may be able to comply with the condi- tions, have been established in the col- lege of liberal arts at Northwestern uni- versity. They are to be assigned upon a new basis, resembling that of the Cecil Rhodes scholarship.- Instead of being awarded wholly according to the result of competitive examinations,.the chief emphasis is to be laid upon promise of superior achievement or probable fitness for publice service. The following elements will be con- | sidered, in the order named: i “Force of character and power of lead- ership as shown in the various activities of school life, as developed in the class- room, debating hall, or on the play- ground, . “Qualities of manhood, energy, truth, courage, temperance, chastity, devotion to duty, sympathy for the weak, kindli- nes, unselfishness, and good fellowship, as qualities Indicating fitness for leader- ship and service in the world at large. | “High scholarship such as would show ! distinct aptitude for learning and appre- ; ciation of its value, including the con- | sideration of marked skill in such arts as music, pajating, sculpture, or the trades, “Physical vigor and power such as will | justify the hope that if the candidate completes the coblege course he will be in good physical condition to meet the problems of actual life, “Qualities of temper and bearing such as give evidence of -the probable ac- quisition of the manner and habits of the educated man.” Faculties of high schools and acade- mies will be invited to nominate candi- dates from their graduates, and from this eligible list the university wifi select | the Winters. RACE IS DISAPPEARING. tions and customs of the natives. He says they are a’simple race of happy, honest, forbearing, but dreamy peo- ple, who are doomed to extinction by civilization.. The population, estimat- ed at 200,000 when Cook landed at Tahiti in 1769, has dwindled away un- til to-day it only numbers 11,000 of which 300 are whites and 800 Chinese. Diseases of the simplest forms, such as measles and whooping cough, which have no apparent effect upon the whites, cannot be combatted by the na- tives, who know nothing of such ail- ments in their primitive state. Tahiti, the doctor says, is a land of rest, es- pecially for the whites, an excellent retreat for those suffering from nerv- ous diseases. A native can live on food furnished by nature and about two dollars a year will furnish him cloth- ing. There is no abject proverty, no It is hoped that the French medical commission now at the islands, will furnish a plan for sanitary relief.

In the case of several French ships it has been found that their tonnage has been underestimated by several hundred tons. This gov- ernment has in the past permitted French vessels to register their ton- nage according to their own measure- ments, but a recent order has been French ships are to be placed on the same basis of measurement as the American vessels. Ten vessels flying the French flag have been measured and in every instance it has been found that the net. tonnage has been increased under the laws of this country. 4 WIDOWERS — ‘FORM UNIQUE CLUB German-Americans of Syracuse, N.

It is composed of German-American busi- ness men of the best part of the city. There are 20 charter members, and the waiting list is a long one. “We haven’t got fairly organized yet,” said Sabey Gaugel, the treasurer, “but we are to meet again to adopt a consti- tution and by-laws. We ate not bound to remain single, for no man can say what the future may be, but we must not be contemplating marriage when we join the club, Our motto is ‘Once is enough,’ and I suppose every man interprets that according to his light.” If a member marries the club may fine him $50; each member must be invited to the wedding, and the club must give him ayredding present of the value of at least $10. : « Peter Has Petered Ont. ed, to resign his. uncomfortable geared to be a baby in its cradle carry- ing on an animated conversation on sub- jects of the day having a most unsettling influence upon them.

A London tobacco manufacturer has found what he believes to be a cure for the deterioration in aroma which ex- perts say that tobacco suffers in the course of a sea voyage. At a private demonstration the discoverer, Mr. | Louis Coen, told the story of his find. | He had long been testing the proper- | ties of certain waters of mineral springs which he used to moisten the leaf tobacco before cutting. This is a hecessary process to prevent the dry leaf crumbling into dust. While recently taking the waters at Mariock Mr. Coen was struck by the revivifying influence of the well-known petrifying spring. which turns fruit into stone after a prolonged immersion. He resolved to try it on tobacco in con- junction with another mineral swater famous for the amount of ozone in con- tains. The treated leaf proved so} agreeably flavored that Mr. Coen has | decided to apply the process to every cigarette he makes, Several days ago a parcel of Virginia leaf was divided in half, and one por- tion was sprayed with the mineral wa- ters as combined by Mr. Coen, and the | rest with ordinary water after the old method. The leaf was cut and mace into cigarettes. When smoked there was a marked difference. T! he trea cigarettes had a softer and peculla fresher flavor, which the demons attributed to the ozone. The tres 2 improves Turkish tobacco as well as Virginfa. Mr. Coen does not -believe that the treatment alters the flavor of tabacco, but that it restores the original aroma lost during the sea voy- age to England. DOG WRINKLES PUT IN. ' Canine Marseur the Lat in Paris—Regalar Sch Prices for the Work, The latest of queer Parts professions is the masseur and orthopodist for dogs, The tariff advertised includes tie fol- ng items: ‘utting wrinkles on a bulldog's face $16.” “Making a straight tail curly, five dol- lars.”’ “Altering dimensions of tail, five dol- lars,”" “Removing superfluous hair, one dol- lar an hours.” “Changing color of coat, six dollars.” “Changing drooping tails to erect ones, five dollars,” “Making bulldog's forepaws crooked, $20.” : Pomeranian louploups are becoming fashionable in Paris, These small dogs are most intelligent as well as pretty, and form perfect pets for the salons. The Baronne Sellures’ visitors on the occa- sion of the marriage of her daughter to Comte de Lubersac could not fail to no- tice a fine specimen. Another Parisian society leader also possesses one of these harming canines, which took the first prize at the latest dogshow. Practically all the leading papers in Paris have now joined in the campzign for more hu- mane methods of putting unfortunate dogs to death at the Paris fourriere. The climax was reached by an offer to com- plete the ether plant to the Paris institu- tion, such as is used at the Battersea home for dogs, insuring a swift and painless death. A preliminary demon- stration of the apparatus shortly will be made in Paris, and all friends of the dog are deeply interested. REMARKABLE DWARF IS DEAD. Bavarian Woman, Although Twenty- “Bight Years Old, Spent Al Her Life in Cradle, There has just died in Bavaria a most remarkable dwarf named Maria Schu- mann. She was born 28 years ago, but never grew to be larger than a three months baby. All her life she spent in her ctadle, but though her physical growth was stunted, her menial faculties were ap- propriate to her age. She conversed fiu- ently on all topics of interest, and had learned to read. Her existence was kept more or less secret by her relatives in order to avoid the annoyance of havy- ing offers made for her exhibition by showmen and circus proprietors. On such occasions as she was seen by strangers she produced a weird effect upon them, the phenomenon of what ap- French Scientist Reports Petals of Geraniums Produce Strange Effect on Selenium, A French scientist with the English placed near selenium with which an Dr. Viondot, of Nancy, ex- Segregation in Hall of Fame.
