Old York. One of the most trav eled dogs in the world is the Russian wolfhound owned by Montgomery Schuyler, United States minister te Ecuador, South America. This doj was born in St. Petersburg and was obtained there while his now owner was attached to this countrys embassy in the Muscovite capital. The dog moved from embassy to embassy and from legation to legation with Mr. Schuyler in Europe and then crossing Asia both man and dog found New Famous Hudson River Craft Still Stanch and Seaworthy, but Her Limited Size Is Responsible for Her Removal.

Her sides are still as stanch as ever, and the Palisades will still return the echo of her paddle wheels when the rush season is over. Put the fact remains that the most popular and widely known steamboat of American waters has been driven into the background, and that the day of steamboating had gone there with her. Much has been written about the earlier rivalry on the river and how the monopoly between Robert Fulton This is a specially posed photograph of U. S.

The Chancellor Livingston. and Chancellor Livingston was finally broken up. The Chancellor Livingston, a steamer named after Fultons famous partner of that name, was one of the most Interesting of all the early boats. It was designed by Robert Fulton himself, says Buckman, but the great inventor died before this steamer was completed, which was a marked im. provement over his previous models. The Livingston was considered remarkably speedy in her day, as she could make 12 miles an hour with the tide and six against it." The Chancellor Livingston was the fourth steamer on the river, as the Clermont had been succeeded by the Car of Neptune and the Paragon. The Paragon, It Is recorded, was 173 feet long and' alternated with the Car of Neptune. One of the hoodoo boats of the river was the good ship Victory, which was built In 1827. Her passengers were so afraid that her boilers would burst that sometimes they turned out of their berths and spent the night on one or another of the barges that the Victory was in the habit of towing on her regular passenger trips. The South America was a famous old river boat that was built In 1840 for Isaac Newton, of Rensselaer county, who had designed several river boats and who was a power on the river at one time. The South America was the first boat to make the run between New York and Albany In les9 than eight hours. She was popular and luxuriously fitted for her time, and did good service for 24 years, when, toward the close of the Civil wrar, she was rebuilt Into a hay barge. In addition to her fame as a record breaker, she and her consort, the North America, were well known among rlvermen because they were the first steamers to burn anthracite. When the old boat had seen her day and was being transformed into a humble hay carrier, small boys used to go in swimming from her side at Rondout and made use of her staterooms as hath houses. well-know- n be accurately sighted.

Sewing fishhooks In his wallet as a precaution against pickpockets, Albert Smith, a farmer, started to see the circus here. Lates he espied a candy stand and plunged his hand into his pocket for the wherewithal. The crook trap worked perfectly. A surgeon separated Smith from the fishhooks. new coiffures have arrived; the most adorably pretty conceptions we have had for years. They have come In answer to a general for something new.. There are high ones and low ones, less simple than those that are passing and more fascinating. They still preserve some features of those demure but rather meager styles. For Instance, in all the new designs the ears are still covered. There is an unmistakable return to the small pompadour which was so universally becoming. A little fringe across the forehead is favored in the dressiest models, but the arrangement of the hair about the forehead varies so that every one may be suited. The hair may be worn moderately low, as In the evening coiffure here, or extremely high, or just at the crown of the head in a Psyche knot (of which a glimpse appears in the second picture). It Is very loosely waved and manufacturers of hair goods are using the same loose and almost im-- i perceptible wave In switches and other hair pieces. Bewitching little clusters of three short, full curls appear either at the nape of the neck or at thei sides below the ears. The new styles are fuller and the effect sought for Is for greater abundance of hair than In the severe and somewhat formless colfTures of the past seasons. This gives women a chance to improve the contour of their heads if need be. These new coiffures are built on definite lines; the styles are more striking than those Just preceding them, more vigorous, and the finished! coiffures achieve the look of careful, perfect grooming; a consummation worth striving for; a charm within the reach of everyone. The dressy coiffure shown with hair band and ostrich feather decora--i tion is not difficult to arrange. A slight support in the form of a short, smalP hair roll forms the pompadour, extending over the top of the head Just above, the forehead. A strand of hair is brought back from the temples, and another strand is arranged in a loose puff over the ears and extends Into the1 cheek. This puff has to be provided with a little support also. The remain-- ) der of the hair Is arranged in big, soft coils across the back, having the of Irregular puffs. Three little curls are pinned in on each side just below the puff over the ears. In the second figure the front hair is arranged In the same way except for the curls. The hack hair is combed up to the crown of the head and coiled into a regulation Psyche knot. The strand at the nape of the neck is left becomingly loose. The knot is only slightly higher than the pompadour. In the hats for the coming seasons great numbers have elongated crowns, so that there will be no difficulty in wearing them with any of the new coiffures. Soft, flexible crowns are to be Immensely fashionable and they shape themselves to the head of the wearer. Dressing the hair as In the model coiffure shown here may be simplified by using pinned-o- n puffs over the ears. With these and a short roll to, support the pompadour there will be no trouble In copying these charming THE designs. JULIA BOTTOM LEY.
