The Dog in the Bible.
Penn Monthly,1

You will search in vain through holy writ
for any praises of this much-belauded animal.
1t is only in the apocryphal book of Tobit, the
stupid and superstitious fiction of mans devils
ing which some have sought to foist into the
Old Testament, that this detestable beast ap-
pears in his modern character as the friend
and companion of man. That the majority of
Gideon's raw recruits Tapped the water s'as
dog lappeth," was reason enough for dismiss
ing them from a conflict which was for all
time to symbolic the victory of human civili-
zation over british barbarism. ''Is thy SER
want dog that he should do this thing?" are
can find to express his horror of the base and
treacherous act Elisha predicts of him. ga
living dog is better than dead lion," is one of
the bitter speeches by which the hero of Ec
cIesiastes indicates for us how deeply he had
sunk into doubt and disbelief of all things
noble and excellent. "Giye not that which Is
holy unto dogs" is warning which marks
forever the sunderance between this unclean
animal and human kind. "Without are dogs"
is one of the points in the description of the
holy city into which nothing that defiles can
enter. In the 3S references which the Bible
makes to this unclean animal there is not one
which is not disparaging, one of the very
worst being the solitary one which is some
times alleged as favorable to him. ''More-
over, the dogs came and licked his sores," is
sometimes interpreted as if it were intended to
contrast their pity of Lazarus with the rich
mans hardness. But, as both the English
moreover" and its Greek equivalent indicate,
the sense is exactly the contrary of this 1t is
meant as one more detail of the misery and
degradation to which the poor man had been
abandoned by his kind, one more of the "evil
things in this life" which made up his lot,
that he was exposed to this annoyance, and
perhaps pain, from these filthy and degraded
beasts.

Life in WASHINGTON,

Washington Correspondence Atlanta Constitution
1t is one of the noticeable facts of life in
Washington, as we'll as elsewhere, that many
of the most prominent people are unassuming.
There is here large element of shoddy which
attracts attention by gaudy display of wealth
and an apish mimicry of EXTREMIST fashion.
And such an element is to be found anywhere.
But many of those who are objects of national
interest and observation are simple in their
manners and transformations in their appear
ance. rode down from the capitol the other
day in five-cent Omnibus in which the only
other passenger was the vice-president of the
United States Sir Edward Thornton, the
British minister, whose salary, besides his in.
come, is over $25 900 year, walks everv day
from his home away beyond the capitol, a dis
tance of nearly three miles. He is a trim,
modest looking man, with business air and
quick, nervous step. Mr.. Hill, of Colorado,
who is worth million or two, walks, while all
around him dash the coaches of men who live
on their Congressional salary. The economy
at the White House, much as it is abused, is a
healthful example which has had its influence
throughout the country. While there are
many of the best and wealthiest men here, liy-
ing in simple elegance and prudently expend-
ing their money, there are others less able who
haunt their extravaganza in the face of the
public.
Acklen used to keep an establishment fit for
duke, with lovely female attendants to an
swer the tap of his bell, and, like eastern
houses, to dance away and do his bidding. In
contrast to such little men, are the Judges of
the supreme court, who are fixed for life on
handsome incomes, bus who grace their LOFTY
lives with homelike virtues which can best
adorn them. Nearly every one of them walks
to the capitol as the honest tradesman trudges
to his store
