Eeno Gazette.
A shepherd dog belonging to Louis Dean
went to his masters home the other day,
closely followed by a manipulating cur
that he seemed to be very fond of. He d.
vided his supper with his companion, and
continued to do so for several VS.. The
other day Dean was moving band of cattle,
assisted by his dog, when he noticed that
Colonel seemed quite anxious to give his
protege few pointers on 'long ears"
and accordingly sent him around to
stop the cattle from entering a cross
street. The new dog did his work well for
a time, but the cattle acting badly, he
became excited, and ran into the band,
barking, putting Dean and Colonel to much
trouble. The faithful old brutes patience
becoming exhausted he caught the cur by
the neck and, after giving him a good shak-
ing up, pulled him to a ditch and held him
under water until he was nearly drowned.
After his chastsement the new dog behaved
WELL and now promises to become one of the
best stock dogs in the State. Colonel has ex-
elusive charge of his friend and continues to
feed him regularly, and when driving stock
he seems to direct every movement of his
'helper."

Saturday Review
There is one inherent weakness in the
creed of vegetarians, and that is that they
cannot get on without animal food-namely,
milk and eggs OF course the fact stares veg
etarians in the face that nature has provided
animal food for all young mammals and
that is very awkward and untoward fact.
Vegetarians, however, in the face OF it, have
thought it wise to include milk as an article
of vegetarian diet. But milk cannot be got
without COWS. and as the consumption of
milk may be expected to increase, and is
said as a matter of fact to increase
where little or no other animal food
is taken, the number of COWS must
be expected to increase under a vege-
tartan regime But then there must also
be calves, and these calves will grow up aud
become cows, and even bulls, and cover the
whole surface of the globe in time if they are
not killed; but one of the great arguments
for vegetarianism is the cruelty of killing ami
mails. Nobody, of course, desires that any
animal shall be killed but with the minimum
of cruelty, but it would seem that if the
vegetarian yields on the subject of milk he
must also yield on the subject of killing ami
mails, and if animals must be killed it is diff
cult to see why they should not be eaten,
seeing that there is no doubt they make ex-
cellent food. Milk, therefore, seems TO US to
be the vegetarians stumbling block, and un-
til he throws milk overheard vegetarianism
has little in it but name.

and satin, and it is paid for very poorly.
But when girl shows a genius for decora-
tive work she is likely to make good liv-
ing. The thing in the art direction that
pays women the best is art needlework
Look at Mrs. Wheeler with her embroider-
les! She gets fabulous prices, but she does
marvellous work. She has revived the lost
art of embroidery, and paints pictures with
her needle, The drop curtain of the Madi-
son-square Theater is her work, and cost
5000. 1 hope, for the sake OF the many
women engaged in this pleasant pursuit
that there will not be reaction in favor of
plain curtains and portleres.

Too Much Art.

New 1Ork beCJer
1 think we are suffering from too much art
Just at present The number of so-called
artists and art students is simply overpower-
ing. All the schools of art are crowded to
their doors, and every man, woman and
child who can draw a straight line or a curve
wants to paint, or, more than ALL wants a
studio. They like to be called artists and to
fill their place with bric-s-brac and stuffs and
lie off in front of an easel. They may never
sell picture outside Of their family, but they
get their names in art directories and they are
suffused with joy if they learn to hear them
selves spoken of as $50 and So, the artist" 1t
doesn't matter what they paint. 1t may only
be flower or a bit of fruit but it is done
with real oils on real canvas. This amateur
talent seems to be rampant among the young
women. They are ALL it seems to me, dab
bling in oils and, what is worse set them
selves up as art critics. You should meet
