Also maker of Waverly Special Auto Oil and Waverly Gasolines, A Plains Episode How Custer's Dog Came Back to the Camp 2SJ It wai a fine, clear, bracing morn Ir.g In the last week of September when our shooting party broke camp on a fork of the Ropubllcan River to Ko in search of mea'. for the troop. The part week had been rainy and wet ?nd supplies of flesh food were ru.inlng low. They generally do when you have to get enough fresh meat for 100 men, and when the base oi supplies Is about one hundred miles avay from the camp. We had plenty of pork, potatoes, beans, &c, bat we needed fresh meat. The men were in the saddle about six hours a d covering twenty to twenty-five miles on the move to a new camp. Above them was the same eternal sky and about them the changeless prai rie, and the monoton,, of both grew on one day after day. It Is no won der that we used to find ourselves dozing off while In the saddle. When cam;) was reached, a buffalo steak or a little tem'erloin of elk used to come In v:ry handy. Farley the sulde and the men se lected as detail had got the mule wr.goii lu commission, and we were n.cving off, when a greyhound came bounding toward us from tho troop camp. He was tig In bone and mus cle, with plenty of flesh, and his tavny coat ttrlpcd with black. He showed form and quality in every movement, tvnd well he might, for he was one of a pair sent as a present to Gen. Custer by Queen Victoria. I do not care much for greyhounds, out this dog was the special pet of all the men In the troop. He had followed us when we left Harker. Fa.loy the guide haJ received In structions to look after the dog dur ing Gen. Custer's obse .ce In the East, and how Farley had the nerve to al low the dog to come with us for a nioiith't scout I cannot tell. Never theless the dog had followed us, and it was Farley's lookout to return hlra safe to Harker. On our cecond day out the hunting partv was passing over a Binall, low range of hills, when 'fom their crest we sighted ten antelope, grazing on tho crl.sp buffalo grass about half a mile away. After approaching as near as we could without disturbing them we left the wgon and men, ar.d Farley and I dropped down Into a little gulch, thinking we could ma?- a stalk of a few hundred yards Yithln shooting distance. Crawl ing through red clay mud and over sor of the nastiest small round and jagged stones my hands and knees ever came In conta" with, we had rked our some distance to ward the antelope when on raising mr head to take a peep ot them, I turned and saw the dog following us, craw'ing on his stomach, with eyes di lated, and every fibre In his tawny body quivering with excitement. By this time Farlc had seen the ante lope about 200 yards away nnd had raised his rifle prepared to shoot v. he I gave ths oH. Just as I raised my rifle the dog rushed be tween 'i3 full tilt after the antelope. I took In tho sltuat'on at a glance and called: 'Tarley! Farley! for God's sake, don't shoot; you'll hit the dog!" It was too late. In the excitement he mus have presed the trigger and the rifle cracked. 1 i iw the dog sud denly wilt down, st p, turn, and then walk slowl back toward us. The poor hound came slowly up to Far It with such a look of wonder and love in his eyes as I have never been ab to get out of my memory. Far ley seemed to be s unned. "My God! what shall I do? I have shot the General's dog. Tho men will never forgive me. Take your revolver and put him out of his misery. I can't shoot him. I never can face the General again.' The ball had entered the dog at the root of the tail and passed :lear .through him, coming out at the right shoulder. I could no more shoot that animal than I could pull on a human being In cold blood. We made a soft bed of grass on some flat stones beside a little .'unnlng brook, carried the og there, and placed him on It at comfortably as we could. Then we ieft him, ana with tears In our hearts If not In our eyes slowly re turn . to the iu'i vagon with our bad rews and so back to the camp. Nearly two weeks had passed when auout midnight the camp was all ustlr; m running here and there with lanterns and guns. It seems as If every coyote on the plains had collected about the camp. What was our surprise and delight as we came to the edge of the camp to see 'he old hound coming towards us. He was tottering In his tracks, but still had life In htm to show his gums drawn back showing those sharp cut ting fangs from which more than one coyote had suffered on the home ward march of the brave old hero. Through miles of pathless prairies he had come back to a home where all 0c corned him. Forest and Stream. Odd Advertisement.

EXPERTS ADVICE OF EATING. Authority's Tell Us What Foods W Should Consume and Avoid. Slcero told us long ago that we should eut to live, not live to eat. nud Prof. Gautler, of Paris, amplifies that wise pronouncement In the course of a very Interesting article on "How Wo Ought to Eut." The professor Is the sworn enemy of all culinary artifices the object of which is to stimulate taste.exclte the appetite and Induce a man to eat without hunger and drink without thirst. These, he says, are prejudicial to the maintenance of health. When one has an appetite for plain bread, vegetables or meat unmodified by any seasoning then and then only can one be said t0 be really hungry. Another paternal recommendation which tho professor makes is the old advice of our gradmothers, that we should al. vu; s leave the table with a slight sensation of hunger not entirely ap. peased. It appears that wo lose every day from 85 to 100 grams of albuminoids, cm responding to 420 or 5ti.i grams of miifccular flesh or analogoitf? tissue. An Inhabitant of Paris, for instance, recuperates on the average to the ex tent of 102 or 103 grams a day. As a guide to what we should eat the professor tells us that the host moat is that of animals fattened on pasture land beef and mutton. Then comes poultry and pork fed on prod, itcis of a vegetable origin, whether grain or herbaceous. One should always avoid the flesh of animals fattened to excess on mus cular flo'h and also, to a certain ex. tent, that of animals which are trio young. Veal is not good for either gouty or arthritic people. It Is not recommended for people with fragile, Irrltnble, eruptive skin. Fish, excellent in itself when It is quite fresh, Is easy to digest, but it Is not suitable to eczemutous person.! or those who have any other skin dir. eae. Black meats' or game excite the kidneys, predispose to gravel, to he. tatic congestions and to arterio.se le. rosls. One may live absolutely with, out meat; one can not do without vegetable aliments. Eat with regularity and in accord ance with the demand of hunger such dishes as have always been regarded as Innocuous and remember that, as a rule. It Is neither meats nor bouillon no' wine nor spices nor coffee which poi.-?on us, but their abuse. THE SCALE TAILED CRAB. Naturalist Schaeffer Once Counted Them, and Found 1,802,604. The crab known as the scale-tailed opus was believed to have become ex. tinct in Great Britain fifty years ago, the last recorded specimens being taken in the ponds on Hampstead Heath. But now it has turned up again in some numbers in two ponds on Preston Merse, near Southwick, In Kirkcudbrightshire. About two and a half inches long, the apus bears a very striking likeness to that remark able creature the king crab, and this because the fore part of the body is covet ed by a great semicircular shield or carapace, while as in the king crab, it swims on its back. In the greet number of its legs the scale. tal'cil apus has few rivals, while in the number of the Joints which these share between them no other creature can compare. The naturalist Schaef fer once essayed the task of counting the tn and made the magnificent to. tal ot 1.802.GU4. Latreille put down the number at a round 2.0tio,tiOO. Never In the Limelight. Jesse Grant, the third son of the great general, is a quiet man, v ho spends most of his time in New York an J Is never in the limelight, he dot's not work, and belongs to two or three clubs.

In Paris a "barefoot brigade" is trying to make converts. Their chief is a painter of talent, who believes that going barefooted is absolutely essential to health. In his studio he wears no foot covering ot any kind, and when he Is out he wears specially made shoes which are perforated so as to allow free access to the air, wat. er and snow.

Musk Started a Itiot. In Berlin the other day a riot was unwittingly started by a woman who had perfumed herself with musk to such an extent as to cause annoyance to the other occupants of a car in which she was a passenger. Other outbreaks have been similarly causeJ. In Paris very serious rioting was started in 1871-72 by people who persisted in scenting themselves with eau-de-cologne; the reason being that this perfume Is of German ori gin, and anything German was hated In France. At Lyons, Bordeaux, Amiens and elsewhere anti-cologne societies were formed, whose mem bers pledged themselves forcibly to prevent the use of the obnoxious scent by their fellow citizens. Curious Peasant Duhco, Peasants of the upper Bavarian Alps are famous for their agility as dancers. Ope of their curious dances Is as follows; Eight boys form a ring In the middle of the dancing ground. They join hands firmly as they circle round; every alternate dancer flings his feet forward until his body becomes horizontal and par allel with the ground. These four then brace their feet together and, supported by the others in the ring, they form a rapidly revolving cross. After a little while they regain their feet and the others form the cross.
