A PLAGUE OF PARIS.
The Wild Dogs of the Days of the Reign
of Terror.
So many startling events happened-
from day to day during the reign of
terror that the apparition of wild dogs
in Paris is commonly overlooked. , But
it was quite natural. The greater part
of those grandees who fled or went in—
to hiding kept dogs, and very few of
them were able to make any arrange-
ment fer the poor beasts when theymleft
home. '
The dogs, abandoned, took to the
streets, of course, and shortly they be—
gan to congregate in two packs, one oc-
cupying the Champs Elysees and one
the Bois de Boulogne. Soon they became
a. public danger. Carlyle pokes fun at
Santerre, the brewer, who proposed a
law that all dogs should be hanged; he
had not noticed the paragraphs in the
newspapers telling how people had been
attacked in the Champs Elysees.
At length the situation became really
grave, as is easily understood when
thousands of starving animals have to
find subsistence in a starving city. Many
of them were wolf bounds and of pow-
erful fighting breeds. So in September,
1798, drastic measures were taken
against the Champs Elysees pack.
Two battalions of the national guard
surrounded the area, leaving a gap to-
ward the Rue Royalo, while multitudes
of ragamnilins beat the cover. The game
was driven up the Rue Roy-ale to the
Place Royal-o, where troops made a bat:
mo of it, firing volleys. Three days con-
secutively this operation was repeated,
and more than 3,000 dead dogs lay in
the place. ,
A certain Gaspardin received orders
to clear them away, and he, short of
means, applied for the royal equipages.
It was a timely jest, greeted with ap-
plause. So Iii. Gaspardin packed the
dead dogs neck and heels in gilded
coaches as full. as they would hold and
made a state procession through delight-
ed Paris. ~Pearson’s Weekly.
One of ‘Field’s Pranks.
A story that has been written about
Field concerns the trick he played on
two car loads of Kansas Cityvmerchants
who went away one time On an excur¥
sion. Each car was to go by";a different
route, and the cars separated at an early
hour in the morning when everybody
was asleep, except Gene Field, who was
along to write up the‘trip. Just before
the cars parted company he carried all
the shoes from one sleeper into the other
' and carefully exchanged them. Then he
took the shoes from the sleeper that had
a double supply and carried them into
the sleeper where nobody had any shoes}
The next morning there Was a blue
streak two ways across Kansas. Every
man in both sleepers was miles. and
miles away;l from his own shoes.

Sharpening a. I'encii.
Frdm childhood up man, naturally de-
structive, with an inherent desire to
smash things, has been taught to take
care of everything that is nice, tidy and
ornamental. If you want to know how
well the lesson has been learned, watch
men sharpen pencils. Did you ever see
one begin at the end that has the pretty
gilt letters on it? The rudest and most
careless man will turn the pencil end
for end to Whittle on the plain part.—

[From the Boston Herald]
An address may -mean a promulga-
tion of Mr. Somebody’s ideas of some-
thing to be expounded in a crowded
hall or crowd the columns of some
scientific journal. This address, how.
ever, is of a practical kind, bearing on
the every-day matter of our common
health. It is the home address of one
who has been greatly benefitted after
long sufl'ering, and who wants the pub-
lic to know it and benefit by the truth.
Mrs. Mary McCarthy, 63 Albany st,,
Boston, Mass, tells in a straightfor—
ward manner that “three years ago she
first noticed pains in her back. but did
not pay much attention to them. They
became worse, however, and three
months ago, she. says, she was almost a
wreck. Even Sitting was painful, and
when attemptinganything.r requiring a
bending or stooping of the body, it was
excruciating.
She says she has applied ' mustard
plasters all the way round her. body,
but the pains returned. She saw

These are the kinds of addresses we
like to make to the public. People
must be convinced, and that by easily
found proof. We can send you addres-
Ses by the score from every part of the
