Not Mad.
Many “mad dog” scares and frights
come where a dog has eaten too much
meat, or foul food, has become over-
heated, or suffers from lack of water.
. Again, mild strychnine poisoning in a
dog may be mistaken for rabies. Many
say there is no such thing as hydro-
phobia. Suppose there is not. Any-
how, dog bites seem dangerous, if their
fright kills strong men. Friends of
dogs and owners of valuable ones, by
‘aiding to keep homeless dogs off the
streets, will lend a helping hand
against the prevalent and spreading
dog prejudice which, has grown up
hereabout in the last year or two.—

Hke the present astronomical type, it
had a concave instead of a convex
eye-piece, just like the opera glasses
now in use. When Galileo first exhi-
bited his new telescope to the doge
and an enthusiastic assembly on the
tower of St. Mark’s, in Venice, he was
overwhelmed with honors, because it
was thought that the instrument would

Careless of Life.
[Each year there are deaths and in-
Juries due to carelessness exceeding
those of any year in the late bloody
Civil War. It is estimated that al-
most 500,000 deaths and injuries take
place each year in the ordinary course
of business which are due either to
the carelessness of some employe or
the worse than carelessness of the
employer. Human life is less safe-
guarded in this country than in any
other in the civilized world, It is a
terrible indictment, and, unfortunately,
it is undeniable.—Philadelphia Inquir-

Lace insertion as.a part of the em-

in past seasons, but there is a rich
pattern just out requiring a shoulder
strap and three long upright strips
of wide linen lace back and fro;

is the bust line, a large flower is em-
broidered in coarse cotton floss, and
the blossom is repeated on the upper

RS. Cornelia Botkin dled in the California penitentiary the
other day. .
And the day after she died they took her body up 2 a
little village in the green hills of California and buried her.
There was a funeral at the little old house where her
parents lived, and her mother and father sat together at the
head of her coffin, and the neighbors came and brought
flowers, and the preacher from the little country church
mied preached a simple, kindly sermon, and the village choir
sang “In the Sweet Bye and Bye” and "Come Ye Disconsolate” quite as it
the woman whose body lay in the coffin had been a good woman all her
life and had never been tried and sent to the penitentiary for murder.
For Mrs. Botkin’s father and mother did not know that she had died in
prison. ;
They did not know that she had ever seen the inside of a prison any
where, and they never heard of the Botkin case, which was one of the most
famous criminal cases ever tried on the Pacific Caost.
There is a little paper in the little village where Mrs. Botkin’s old father
and mother lived, and the paper printed every day accounts of the trial while
it was going on. J : :
But they called it the Dunning case and spoke always of Mrs. Botkin as
the accused, and the old man and the old woman read the paper and talked
the famous murder case over together and never even dreamed that “the
accused” was their own daughter.
And all the little village took hold of hands and formed around the old
people a cordon of silence, and Woe be to any one who dared to try to break
through. ; :
We are prone to think of heaven as a place far removed from everything
we know here on this earth. But oh, that little village out there, nestling
in the green, green hills of smiling California! I wonder if the angels
do not look down upon it and smile—New York American.

No Danger of Over: i}
Population
By Bolton Hall : SD
T has been said that the time is not far off when the
United States will be unable to support her inhabitants.
But those who think that have either forgotten or nave
not reckoned with the new intensive cultivation of the land.
The island of Guernsey, in the south of England, is
from four to seven miles in length, and about four miles
in width. It has a resident population of 41,000, and a vis-
iting population of 30,000 a year, which it supports.’ About
$4,500,000 worth of farm and garden stuff, or a little less
than $400 worth to the acre, is produced annually, with only 11,623 acres
under cultivation. ; :
Now, if the whole State of New York were cultivated and populated as
that is cultivated and populated, it would yield annually $15,000,000,000
worth of farm and garden produce, ard support 233,641,473 people—that
is, about four times the population of the entire United States. Wherein
then lies the danger of. overpopulaticn? Only in monopolizing'and holding
idle the land; where there are unused lands there are bound to be idle
