Why Dogs Run sideways.

More than one person has doubtless
entertained this speculation. A cores.
pondent of the New York Sun explains
There are several reasons OF q scientific
character why diagonal position of q
dogs body to the line of his motion is
the most advantageous for the dog when
going at trot.
/. He is less liable to be upset. Any
oblong body moving forward on the
ground has . broader bearing when
turned ath ~srt or diagonally than when
going directly endwise. A dog gains
fifty per cent or more Of base by thus
running, so to speak, upon q broad
gauge than when going upon q marrow
gauge, that is to say, In direct line OF
his length. Being liable to kicks and
blows, and to be pounced upon by other
dogs, it is obvious that he is able to Of
fer greater resistance when moving
diagonally.
2 In case . dogs safety requires him
to turn suddenly and run in an opposite
direction-as he is frequently compelled
to do-his diagonal position is then
most favorable for him, because he ie
partly turned around already, and bis
feet are in 9 position to serve bis object
most effectively.
8 The diagonal position enables him
to throw backward glance Of bis eye
more readily, so that he is safer from
attack in the rear.
The nature and habits Of dogs are
peculiarly interesting to mankind. and
especially to young people. Does not
their diagonai trot show in familiar
way the wonerous faculty Of Instinct ,

THE ORIoLE.

Busy Preparations, Engagement OF
the Famous Gilmore, Marine and
Other Bands. Remarkably Bril-.
liant Spectacle Promised.
Every man, woman and child in Bal.
timore appears to be growing interested
in the Oriole, and anxious to contribute
something toward making it the most
memorable success ever known in the
country. That il will be, now passes
without argument. The Oriole will be
incompsrably finer in every way than
last years celebration, and to the gen.
eral public will have more interest in an
hour than that had in day. Not but
what the Sesqui-C Centennial was per-
feet and an unparalleled success, but il
was to certain extent local glorifica-
ton of deep interest 10 Baltimoresns
and OF more or less attractiveness to
strangers. On the other hand the Marli
Gras Pageant will possess remarkable
attraction for all the guests IS well as
the citizen. Its features will be OF Q
general character and the effects pro-
duced will be brilliant and dazzling 10
the extreme. There will be fully three
miles of the most beautiful tableaux of
msjestic proportions and exquisite con.
struction. The subjects portrayed will
not be disclosed until the night of the
pageant, lending q mystic character to
it and increasing the interest. Those
who have never witnessed q Mardi Gras
can form no conception of its splendor
and beauty. The novelty of having it
under hundreds of electric lights win
greatly enhance the effect and carry the
beholder to the fullest realization Of the
most vivid imagination Of the wonders
Of the Arabian Nights. The musical
adjuncts to the pageant promises of
themselves to- be worth q journey to
hear.
At the head Of the pageant will be
the famous Gilmore Band from New
York in magnificent uniform and num-
bering sixty-ive Of the best musicians
of the Metropolis. The celebrated Ma.
rine Band Of Washington has also been
engaged as have all the Baltimore bands
and those OF adjacent cities In addi-
ton to taking part in the Oriole pageant
Gilmore's Band will give grand open
air concert on Wednesday afternoo1
and play for the Mask Ball and Carni-
val in the evening. What, with the re-
ception to the French visitors and the
great military, fire and civic parade,
Monday the 10th; the Mardi Grss.
Tuesday the llth; and the Carnival and
other features on Wednesday the Eth ;
the Baltimore Orioie will certainly eclipse
any similar celebration known in the

THE AGE OF INNOCENCE.

THE AGE OF INNOCENCE.
Drear were the world without child,
Where happy infant never smiled,
Nor stirrd mothers love;
We sooner could the Aowerets spare,
The tender bud and blossom fair,
Or breath Of springtime in the air,
Or light Of dawn abovel
No monarch rules with lordiier grace
Than helpless infancy its place
Soon narrowed to span;
Outstretching hands that claim as right
All things that loom upon the sight
And rocking naught of greater might
That will discrown the man.
+ o. little king, o. little queen,
You rule not with the golden sheen
And psmp Of larger courts,
But sovereign is your gentle sway,
Strong hearts and willing homage pay,
Love scatters garlsnds on your way
Where your young life disports.
No poet uttsrs daintier word
Than oft from lisping lip is heard,
No wit moves purer mirth;
In mimic satire babes grow bsld
And quaint surprises they unfold,
Al first their pntaught eyes behold
The wondrous shows Of earth.
