Dogs and Weather.

Dogs are not without their
weather-lore. Thus, when they
eat grass, it is a sign of rain; If
they roll on the ground and
scratch, or become drowsy and
stupid, change in the weather
may be expected. AS, indeed, in
the case of the cat, most of their
turnings and twistings are sup
posed representations OF some
thing. There are numerous other
items of folklore connected with
the dog, to which we can only in
cidentally allude. Thus in Ireland
it Is considered unlucky to meet a
barking dog early in the morning,
and, on the other hand, just as for
tunate for one to enter house the
first thing in the day. They are
commonly said to possess a Won
derful instinct for discerning char
acter, generally avoiding ill-tem-
pered persons, and making friends
with any stranger who happens
to be of a kind and cheerful dis
position. The life of a dog is
5OtnctlmeS odiu " Uo DOuuu up
with that of his master or mis-
tress. When either dies the other
cannot live. 1t is curious that
this faithful companion of man
should have become a term of le-
proach, and be used by most of
our old writers. Thus we find
various phrases such as dog
bolt, ""dog's face "dog's leach"
"dog-trick." etc., all OF which
were intended to convey the idea
Of contempt. In days gone by it
was a common practice in the
country house for the dog to tuln
the spit at the kitchen fire, GUS
tom which is described by DR..
Caius, founder of the college of
Cambridge, which bears his name.

THE WONDERFUL ATHLETIC
FEATs OF BABAJEE TULsIRAM.
New York World

FEATs OF BABAJEE TULsIRAM.
New York World.
An entertainment Of novel
character was given on March 9th
at the house Of Mr.. MoraJee Coo
uldus, al Bombay, who invited
large number OF guests TO witness
some extraordinary feats Of
strength on the part of the celebra-
ted Deccan athlete, BabaJee Tut
siram. The company, which in
Guided many Of the leading in
haitants of the city. sat in sem
icircle, at either point Of which
were placed several pretty little
native boys arrayed in brilliant
and costly apparel. The pictures
que dresses of the native ladies
who were present, the white robes
of the Parsee gentlemen, a nd the
gay colors Of Hindoo attire had a
remarkably fine eff ct when seen
In conjunction with the beautiful
surroundings. After some prelim-
inaries in the way of handing
round for inspection the materials
with which he intended TO per-
form. and having satisfied the
company tnaJ tn6re was no do
ception, the athlete, tall, soldier
ly man, some q years of age, and
with a magnificent development
Of muscle, proceeded to crush a
number of cowries between the
palms of his hands. He complete
~ ground them to powder in this
manner, uttering during the pro-
cess sharp, shrill cries, which were
probaly intended to express the
magnitude of his exertions. Then
the performer placed cocoanut
upon the head of a boy, and, with
with what appeared to be a fearful
below, broke the nut in pieces and
scattered the milk in all directions,
without, strange to say, hurting the
boy in any way. The next feat
was breaking a stout coil rope by
simply pulling it. One of the
most extraordinary parts ofthe per-
Torrance. was the following: The
athelete placed betel leaf be-
tween two of his fingers, and then,
by pressing the fingers together,
cut the leaf so as to throw the |
upper part several feet high. But
the most startling feat was the |
breaking of a stone laid upon his
chest The man lay down at full
length on some chairs, and huge
stone weighing four Bengal
maunds was laid on his chest,
which was simply covered by a
thin tunic. Two men then struck |
the stone some tremendous blows |
with heavy hammers, and, after
one or two attempts, the block
rolled off the mans chest in two |
pieces. He next made several at
tempts to break cOcOanut with
handkerchief. His mode of pro-
cedure in this case was to roll the |
handkerchief tightly in the shape |
of a ball, and then to throw the ball |
upon the nut. Pulling piece ofsu
gar cane In two exactly at the joint,
and bending a thick iron plate, |
were among other feats performed. |
The company then went out on
the balcony, where the athlete
cut sugar-cane 80 as TO throw up
q piece thereof one thousand feet |
high. 1t was done thus: A man
held out o scimitar with the edge |
downward, and Babajee struck
the cane upward against the edge |
of the sword, the piece thus cut
off flying a great distance into the
air. This brought the performance
TO close, and the performer was
then presented with a handsome
shawl.

For several years a pack of wild
dogs have been known in the
Yellowstone valley. They are
described as resembling a cross be-
tween a wolf and a spaniel. A
more savage pack of wolf dogs
are now reported in the wilds of
northwestern Nebraska. 1t is
said that about two years ago two
bull dogs Joined band of wolves
near the head of the BirdWood,
and have remained with them
ever since. With the past year a
species of dog wolf, supposed to be
the offspring of the escaped dogs,
have been committing depreda-
tons in that section. They are
said to possess The cunning of the
wolf combined with the ferocity
and pluck of the bulldog, and are
consequently much more to be
dreaded than the common prairie
wolf, and are far more savage.
They are becoming numerous and
quite troublesome.
