A Cure for Howling Dogs,

MANY wearied and wakeful persons
find in the bowling Of dogs by night
persistent, widespread and most annoy
inc form of irritation. The owners OF
dogs given to spend the hours OF dark
ness in assiduous bowling appear gener-
ally to regard with serene personal
imperturbability the niosy nuisance
which makes night hideous for their
neighbors. Nevertheless, those who
keep dogs, especially those who do so
in popular places, ought to feel bound
to take the simple precautions which
alone are necessary tOprevent trouble
some form of vexatiOn, which is really
a serious source of Inconvenience and
loss of health to very many people, 10
the honest bark of a Watchdog Civ
ing warning tongue upon suitable oc-
casions no one would object, but the
purposeless and unending bowling OF
the chained ours which are especially
prevalent in the suburbs of towns is
simply intolerable. 1t is not necessary
to exterminate dogs to put an end to
the annoyance in question. The NUS
ance is perfectly preyentable by the
adoption Of a few simple and sensible
measures which, 50 far from injuring
the offending animals, tend to give them
length of days by conducting to their
contentmcnt Those who have had eX-
perience in keeping dogs know that
these dogs will not howl at night if they
be comfortable If dogs, instead of be-
ing cruelty chained up out of doors, in
kennels which are often draughty and
damp, be allowed to have their liberty
by day, and to lie within the house at
night, they will generally sleep through
the night A perfect quietness. Or,
if it be necessary to keep dog chained
by day, he ought to be left loose at
night, when it will be found that he
will retire quietly to his kennel and alb
stain from bowling, especially if he be
furnished with some fresh hay or a
clean mat for bed. In warm weather
dogs often howl simply because they
want water Many dogs howl at night
because they are kept constantly chain
ed both by night and by day This is
a common and most reprehensible form
of cruelty; dogs 50 treated are sure to
be restless and irritable and can scarce
ly be healthy. -Lond0m M0rning Post

An Anecdote OF General sherman,

CtataryJor January.
Many good anecdotes Of Sherman were
current during the war. Some OF them, he
once said, when they were brought to his
notice, had been told Of every general since
Hannibal. Here Is one OF unqugst!onabie
which shows. his sagacity
in dealing with the population Of con.
quered towns. After he occupied Memphis,
the people Kept the churches, schools ard
places Of business closed, Sd that, save for
the movements OF the soldiers, the place
looked like city Of the dead. He issued
an order directing that the sieres and shops
should be opened during business hours,
the schools resume their oourses, and the
churches hold their customary services.
Among the people who called at his head.
quarters to protest against this order, OF. to
AJAX for explanations, was the clergyman oil
an Episcopal church, who said that the
ritual Of his denomination contained a
prayer for the President, which under the
embarrassed bin.
"Whom do you regard as your Presi.

look upon Mr.. Davis as our Presidet," re-
piled the minister. every well pray for
Jeff Davis II you wish. He needs your
PRAYERS badly. It will take great deal Of
Drawing to save him." "Then will not
be- compelled to pray for Mr.. Lincoln?.'
g0h, no. He's a good man, and don't need
YOU" prayers. You may pray for him i
Won feel lie It, but theTe's no compulsion,"
answered Sherman, instantly diVining that
the worthy clergyman wanted to pose as 9
martyr before his parishioners, and had
hoped that he would be ordered to use the
PRAYER for the President OF the United
States. Tbs next Sunday the prescribed
PRAYER was go modified by the preacher as

said the inquisitive American, wiping his
brow YEARLY.
"Why, it Is as plain as the nose on your
face. The only enemy OF the bumble bee
is the field mouse"
"But what have roast beef, red clover,
humble bees, and field micegot to do with
old maids ?"
"Why, you must be very ohtuse. Don't
you perceive that the bumble-bees would
soon become exterminated by the field
mice II 1t were not for

"No, II it were not for cats, and the old
maids Of Old England keep the country
thoroughly stocked up with cats, and 80 We
can directly trace the effects OF the rosy

What is this reference 10 Cancssa? Since
the downfall Of the French Empire Prince
Bismarck has been actively hostile to the
Church in the German Empire. He it was
who helped to drive the Pope into the Vat.
lean, and to hand over Rome to Victor En-.
manuel and a united Italy; it was he who
prohibited the Catholic clergy from taking
any share in popular education, who ex-
PEELED the bishops who would not obey his
DEGREES, who was responsible for the Cels-
brated Falk May laws which reduced the
privileges Of the clergy to nonentity, and
who exasperated Pope Plus to such de-
gree that his Holiness refused to receive
Cardinal Hohenlohc at the Vatican as the
representative of the German Empire. 1t
wsG then that Bismarck exclaimed: 1--WE
will not go 10 Canossa, either in our eccles.
iastical or our political relations" In the
eleventh century Henry ~, OF the German
Empire, refused to obey Pope HiIdebrand,
and he was accommodated. The effect
was SO terrible that, after vain struggle,
Henry went to Caposss, where for three
days in the depth Of Winter, clad in q peni-
tents shirt, he shivered in the outer court
yard beseeching IN interview with the
Pope to whom he subsequently, professed
complete submission. the nineteenth
century Bismarck has had to modify his
snti-ultramontane edicts, and now that the
Grown Prince has gone to Rome, the ques-
ton must be asked, "Has the rude German
Chancellor not had to so to Cauossa, in
spite OF his boast?"
