Rowser came bovnding around the house to 'follow his be- loTed mistress, wageiag his shaggy taU with 4d^ht. He was the pet of the family, a n«»t, shagffy collie, loving and usefuL Mrs. Satton used often to say she did not know J«v they would keep hotise without Rowser, he was so handy about running the chickens into the coop, going to town on errands, iMinging the cowa from the pasture, and a doctti other things. He dearly loved all the little Suttons, but his especial favorite was twelve year old Ella. Where she went, JWwser followed tmless forbidden,' and to- day when she started for the village half-a- mile away he made joyful signs of his plea- smre at being Allowed to go with her. Along th« dusfy' road they went, now sipping for a gambol in a particularly fine grass plot, now walking soberly on, Ella talking to her four-footed companion and he making ^^rave signs that he understood. " We must hurry on, Rowser, or we won't get acraas the railroad before that long freight train which will be here in half an hour," said EUa. "We must try and get " back before it gets here or i,t may keep us in town art hour." Rowser barked assf-ut and they bounded merrily across the track and hurried to the TiMage store. Ella's purchases were soon wade and she called her dog and started hack. But although she had made haste, the train was almost to the crossing when she reached the railroad. "Oh, dear," she said, " I shall have to wait. I'm afraid to cross with the cars so near. RowjM{r looked from Ella to the coming krain, and gathering froin her looks thJit the train wtas delaying her, he sprang on the track and began Daiking furiously at the iron monster. " Oh, Rowser, come back, come back, you'll be killed " shrieked Ella, running wildly Up mii down th? track. "Here, Rowser, lifere, here, sir " " xjut his own loud barking and the roar of the advancing train made him deaf to all •ther sounds. Ella looked despairingly Around. None of the men gathered near the crossing seemed inclined to go to the rescue ef a dog, so with a final appealing gaze slie started for the track. Before the men could stop her she had Rowser by the collar, and he, used to obeying her light touch, was off the track just in time to escape being struck »y the locomotJJ'e. But poor Ella was not so fortunate. In trying to spring from the track her foot caught on the rail and she fell heavily. Then light and sense forsook her, jind when the long train had come to a stand- still she lay unconscious by tlie track, and «ne foot lay across the rail ovtr which the cruel wheels had ground. They tried to lift her, but the dog, for whom the sacrifice had been made, stood over the still form and kept all at a distance. Someone who knew the little girl sprang into a buggy which stood near and drove rapidly for her father. Mr. Sutton was quickly on the spot, his face white with asguish, and at his word the noble brute stood aside while the senseless girl Avas lift- ed and borne tendei-ly home. Then followed days of i-aging fever, "when every one moved abomt softly, and Mrs. .Sutton's strength was taxed to the utmost. .Day followed day as the sufferer lived over those few brief moments *f fear and anxiety. "But I saved Rowser," she would say, «ver and over again. "I couldn't stand by and see Row.ser killed, so I pulled him off the track. But I fell and hurt mj' foot so. Manmia, look and see what ails my foot. I hmrt it so when I fell." Her mother would soothe her to sleep and there would be a brief rest only to be broken by the same scenes. But there came a day when she fell asleep and lay for hours in a Jitupor. The children were sent away and the parents hung over the couch of their loved cne, trying to read the future and see if she would wake to life and health or fall into the quiet sleep that knows no waking. Hours passed by, and the parents were J almost in despair when the white lids flut- tered, then were slowly raised. "Mamma,"' whispered a weak voice. "ha\e I been sick " "Yes, darling," was the sobbing ieply, "you liave been very sick, but you are going to get well, aren't yout" "Yes," came fron\ the white lips. ;uidslie fell into a peacefid sleep. One by one the days were aitded to the past and Ella grew stronger with each one. Kvery morning slie Vas lifted to a large ix;lier which stood by tlie open window, and she would sit content for hours looking at the leautif ul world around her. "Mamma," she said, onejmorning, "isn't my foot most well enough to have the band- ages taken off? They feel so uncomfortable." Mrs. l*luttoii's eyes filled with tears as she sat down by her little daughter. "Perhaps it is, daughter," she .said. "Do you feel quite sti'ong now '" "Why, yes,'" answered wondering Ella. "I shall soon le rmming aroun«l witli Rowser tlie same as ever."' "And don't you feel veiy, verj- thankful that your life is si)ared, in spite of trouble and pain f.' pursued her mother "s trembling voice. " Of course I do. But nianiuia. what makes you feel so sad, and look at nic so straugely. "' "HUu'you are strong enough to hear now. ttd you ever wonder why we always keep the blanket ai-ound you, and wliy you have never seen where your feet were since you were sick "'" "mina, you don't mean"" began startled Ella. " Yes, darling, I do mean that the engine took your left f»K)t, but you are so strong and well now that we cannot help feeling thankful fol' the escape you had,' i-esponded the now weeping mother. Ella stared at her mother in dumb amaze- ment for a moment. Then her eyes turned slowly toward tlie lovely world she admired S3 much. She would never run and play like other littfe"girlsi'"iieve^' dance cU-onnd the MaypoM^fruntaceswiflB^owser, or do any of the things she loved so well, and at the thought the frozen fountain of her tears yf$ irf^, aad'alw i^ 0 k fit dl w^d weeping. Her mo^er let ner weep, tor she knew it would relieve the over-burdened heart. After a time the mi)^ caecfe. mqre ^slowly, and soon the weary li^adiAy oil ^er' mother's boscnn, and a long, quiet talk fol- lowed the storm of ptssion. At the close of the conversation Mrs. Sutton went to her work with a lighter heart than, she had carried for many a day, while EDa leaned on the window, a quiet tear stealing down h^ (^e^ iram time to time, as the merry shouts of her InrothetB and sisters came in at the open windows. In a week ahe was growing reconciled to her misforttme. As she sat in her usual seat by the window a louder shout than usual attracted her attention and Rowser came in view, dressed in a comical harness and drawing after him a little cart, half carriage, luuf chfdr. Ned and Bob and Susie closed the procession, and as she was about to ask the meaning of the display her father entered the -room. He wrapped a warm shawl around her, and canying her out-of-doors he set her into the little cart, and said "Come, Rowser, show Ella how nicely you can draw her." Rowser started gravely off, showing by his looks how impoitant he felt and the chil- dren followed to show her how to guide him. •'We've been training him over a week," shouted boisterous Ned, "and all you have to do is to just speak to him." "And he knows *gee' and 'haw' and 'whoa' and everything," broke in Bob, while Susie cried, "I made the cushions and mamma the afghan and papa the cart. I made 'em real careful and don't you think they're pretty soft?" Ella gratefully acknowledged all their kindness and the tears glistened in her eyes as .she thought how good every one was to her. All through the long summer days Rowser drew her around, and when fall came and she was strong again her papa brought her such a nice pair of crutches that she declared it was worth losing her foot to find out how kind they were to her. Ella is almost grown now and far too large for Rowser to draw around, but he is her constant companion and as she looks into the great, loving brown eyes she mentally de- clares that she has never been sorry that she gave her foot to save his life. The Well-Dressed Woman. The faculty of thinking for one's self upon any subject is cultivated by very few men or women. If instead of unquestioningly accepting the domination of the one, the many would study the secret of that one's superiority, the world would be filled with a new people. In the matter of dress the most ignorant dimly perceive the power of beauty. If the lovliness of a human crea- ture is enchanced by her adornment, it is as quickly noted as is the exquisite setting of some beautiful gem. ' â-  ' â-  The love of beauty, of physical beauty, is as deeply implanted in the human soul as is the religious instinct, and its influence is something the magnitude of which the world is at last beginning to realize. And beauty is cultivated and often developed by a know- ledge of harmony and hygiene in the law of dress. A well-dressed woman knows an elevation of spirit which one in worn and shabby attire rarely experiences but to be well-dressed does not necessarily imply that one is appareled in rare or costly clothing â€" elegant it must be, since the word suggests that it is adapted to its wearer. The loveli- ness of color is increased by its adaptability to certain individuals. j, The color most becoming to a woman's beauty is generally that which i»an indica- tion of her character. Since a secret rela- tionship exists between the moral tenipeia- nient and the phy "vl color of the eyes, liair and complexit an involuntary har- mony is at once established between the studied choice dictated by vanity and that which results from the usual or a passing state of mind. The uicongruities so often noted in dress are due to ignorance and in- difference regarding its psychical and physical possibilities. Want of taste is ignorance of the subtleties of color ami of tlie significance of material. CHAS0ED ET A WATERSPOUT. Ifee â- â€¢â- Iter Bute Oat off tk« Fes. V»em tte a.B,Slkw)atm. A favorite sea yam in the juvenile books which were intended to instaruct, as well as amuse, the children of the first half of the century described an encounter of a vessel wiUi a waterspout, in which the ship escap- ed being overwhelmed only by the, oppor- tune dia^arge of a caiMon bril into the waterspout The cut illustraGog the yam usually depicted the marine monster as so much larger than the vessel that the latter could literally have gone up the spout. Vessels are undoubtedly larger than they were then, and water spouto are ap- parently smaller, and when an en- counter takes place the ship need be none the worse for it, even if no cannon intervenes. At any rate, such was the experience of the steamship Slavonia of the Hamburg line last Simday. SheleftBmnshausen, on the Elbe, where she took in her cargo, under the command of Capt. H. Schmidt. She had only two passengers. The weather was squally and the air full of mist when she reached the outer Banks, 900 miles from New York shortly after sunrise on Sunday. The big vessel was heading west by north, when, at 7 o'clock. Second Mate Erichsen, who was on the bridge, saw emerge through the mist on the starboard side of the ship, at the distance of about a thousand feet, A TOWEKING COLUMN Nature's Thoughtfolness.

I don't, think my being a widow makes it necessary for me to keep iadoers all the time." ' which united sea and sky. The column was some distance in front of the ship to starboard, and was moving in a southeasterly direction, apparently at the rate of eight knots an hour. Although the Slavonia was running 9i knots, the column seemed likely to pass in front of the steamship when their paths crossed. Accordingly Erichsen did not try to alter the course of the Slavonia indeed, he would not have altered it had he known ship and spout were sure to meet, for he had en- countered waterspouts before and wasn't afraid of them. All he didâ€" in fact, all he had time to do â€" was to call Third Mate Lor- entzen, also an expert in waterspouts, who, Tbeing in inI'.Utioji a draughteman, prepared to make the drawings of the waterspout which accompany this article. On rushed the Slavonia, heading west by nortli nearer came the waterspout, heading south by east. It soon became evident that the Spout could not get by before the Slavo- nia reached it, and it was cow too laite to slow up â€" indeed, a collision was manifestly unavoidable from the start. Lorentzen had scarcely reached the bridge when the watery Philistine was upon the Samson. It just hit the steamer's bows on the starboard side. A. rushing noise accompanied the column, and the water foamed in its wake. Immedi- ately above was a great black cloud from which clouds less dark descended to form a funnel, or inverted cone. The middle of the column was white, apparently because it contained snow. The column's narrowest diameter was ap- parently about twelve feet, whUc it was three times as broad at its base, which reproduced, in water and inverted, the cloud-formed fun- nel above. The whole column rotated with a spiral motion. 'The waterspout, when it approached, took all the wind out of the fore staysail of the steamship, which went bUnd, but the schoon- ersail still kept full, and presently the fore- staysail filled again. The Slavonia shook under the shock caused by contact with the column of water, but kept on her course none the worse for the collision. A few flakes of snow on her prow were the only evidence of the collision aftef the pillar of water had ptassed off to port. While the vessel was uninjured, the ?rater- spout soon showed signs that it had RECEIVED ITS DEATHBLOW. As it sailed off to the southeast it parted in the middle, and the cone of water which formed its base and the cone of cloud which formed its top began to grow smaller by de- grees. The waterspout was slowly but sure- ly ceasing to be a waterspout when it disap- peared from view in the misty distance some fifteen minutes or more from the time it was sighted. The Slavonia's encounter with the water- spout took place in latitude 42 ® 22' north and longitude 52 .35' west. This is rather far north for waterspouts so early in the year. The waterspout crop is generally more plentiful when thuudei- and lightning are on top, which is in warmer weather. The temjierature of the air at the time of the en- counter was 37 54' It had been cold during the night, but grew warmer in the morning. The clouds which overspread the tinnainent were of the cumulus pattern. Erichsen and Lorentzen have not only seen other waterspouts, but tlic first, when on a sailing vessel in the tropics, ran into the very middle of one with no worse result than to deluge the deck of the ship with water as a heavy shower would have done. Discarding the Corset. Miss Ellen TeiTy, Mrs Bernard Beere. and Miss Mary Anderson are all enrolled under the non-corset banner, and are among the most powerful even though silent advocates of the cause. Miss Terry's little lithe rtms across the stage or Miss Anderson's merry dance in "Winter's Tale'f are more convinc- ing arguments of the free grace of motion at- tained by discarding bones and steels than all the philosophical and physiological reason- ing of an army of strong-minded, flatbreasted reformers. A famous London specialist. Sir William Gull, has evolved aline of argument which he finds effective. "What is the good," he remarked recently, "of ladies bringing their daughters to" meâ€" fatigue, backache, loss of appetite, and, what they care far more about, complexionâ€" all due to this senseless habit Show them diagrams, blood-curdling pictures of their insides befor^ and after not a bit of good But when I tell them plainly the practical effects of tight lacing on their complexions, rosy cheeks and red noses- Vah, then they pay a little heed to THE PEEBLESS'SBIGDOG. â-  wheeled around H«««B«»w-~«^ r ^^ ^^ ypung Mr. Smith wif5?

She-was called the Pe^leas' then, and she was nobly christened, for she could show her copper«i heels to any craft of her inches in the India trade. She is still afloat under a less poetic German name, and plies sluggishl pNrts, robbed pf tne studding suls that hei through the placid southern ocean on the most memorable day in the log of our voyage. We were bonnding along before a ten-knot breeze, with eveiy stitehiOf cfaivaspn. It was a hot summer day in the year 1861. The upper Bp€*r8 vibrated like the strings of a giant harp under the steady pressure of the bulging sails. Twin waves curled into foamy being under our resistless prow, and rushed with caressing turbulence along our counter. There was little to do aloft for the sailors, but there was bustle below, for a fol- lowing breeze makes lote of work â€" not of a kind that Jack usually appreciates. A little trimming and bracing here and there kept the ship in fine shape for her work. Four or five men were busy on the deck, trying to make them more immaculate â€" a pretty hard job on the peerless â€" with holystone. Others were tarrmg the rigging, polishing the brass work, and braiding rope yam. Capt. Homans himself was at the wheel, and familiar as he was with THE VISION OF HIS SHIP with all her fairweather duds on, he could not help casting an admiring eye aloft now and then. About ten feet from the skipper, crouching on the deck, was his big New- foundland dog. Boatswain, the pet of the ship's crew and the idol of her commander. Boatswain was a soft-eyed, intelligent crea- ture, ptire blooded and superbly formed. He had made half a dozen voyages in the Peerless, and could pull on a halyard and help to tend sheet like a sailorma^i. He was more like a slupmate than a dog to us. He had distinguished himself while in port Jind got his name in the newspapers, by rescuing two drunken men who had tumbled over- board. Thio Wcis the limit of his achieve- ments as a hero. While the skipper was looking np at the trembling,sun-kissed towers of duck a change came over Boatswain's face. His head was pillowed between his extended forepaws and he was panting, and had been panting for an hour or so, from the excessive heat. His eyes, usually gentle, became imnaturally bright, and he sprang to his feet and ran unsteadily forward. The Captain, who had noted the dog's changed aspect, called the mate on the wheel and went after his shaggy protege. "Boats'n Boats 'n V called the skipper, coaxingly. "Come here, good fellow -- come here " But Boatswain ignored his master's invitation, and charged a iailoi' who was holystoning forward. There must have been something particularly ferocious in the Newfoundland's appearance to cause the sailor's face to blanch and drive him on a run into the fcieoigging, The skipper got a front view of Boatswain a moment later. The animal was frothing at the month. ' He rushed with a low gi-owl at his master, who turned and made for the port rail, along which he ran to the main rigging, climbing into it just as the dog's teeth met, with the clack of castanets, in the air not two inches from the bottom of his trousei s. By this time every man HAD ABANDONED WORK an 1 followed the example of the Captain. The mate and the colored cook, Washington, were the only men within reach of the mad brute. The cook was sitting at the door of the gaily. He hal yielded to the soporific influence of the sunshine, and was nodding over a bowl of half-cut scouse. The Captain shouted to him to go down into the cabin and get a shot- gun. Wash didn't hear tlie shouts until the dog was within twenty feet of him. He was somewhat afraid of Boatswain anyhow, and Boatswain mad, with flashing eyes and foamy chops, filled him with terror. The supercargo says the daiky'9 face turned almost white with fright, and his ej'es developed an unsuspected cajiacity for open- ing. He was paralyzed for a second. Tlieu he got on his feet, upsetting the 1k)w1 of scouse, and backed tremblingly and quickly into the galley, slamming the door just in time to shut out the dog, whose xdy struck the lower panel with a thud that made the cook shiver some more for his salvation. Two sailors made a dash for the cabin to get the shotgun when Boatswain went for the cook but the cunning Xewfoiuulland intercepted them and drove them back in the rigging. The mate made himself as small as possible behind the wheel, but the mad brute spied him and made a plunge at him. The mate knev/ that if he deserted the wheel the ship probably would broach to imme- diately, and may.be becomea partial wreck he also knew that if Boatswain bit him he would be a doomed man. It didn't take Wm long to make up his mind what to do. He sprang to the mil and jumped int« the mizzcn rigging, and Boatewain BECAME .ABSOLUTE M.tSTER. o^ t-lje Peeiless. The gun of a privateer which we were not altogether sure of avoid- ing could not have created such a panic aboard our nhip. The ffog nished from raU t» rad, aft, and mailc wild leaps up to ward the rigging in vain attempts to get at the ligh- tened men. How long the dear old ship was without a helmsman the Captain and the supercargo were never able to telL It may have been three tniniites, and it may haxe been ten but Capt. Holmes said he believed It w*8 about half an hour. Not once duim.y this critical tune did she thieaten to bix»ch to. She held her course nobly, as if guided by a phantom steersman. The dog seemed to weary of his efforts to reach human flesh, and began running lo and fro l)efore the cabin. Ihe skipper suggested to one of the sailors, who had ventured dow-n on deck forward, to bram Boatswain ' with a capstan okr. The sailor did iiot accept the suggestion with en- thusiasm.
