The Curl of a Puu's Tail.

A New York correspondent says: Big,
and fashionable crowds have been going
to the dog show in Madison Square gar
den to admire and be amused by tt
brutes. l was one of the few who OF
tanned instruction. One of the thin.
which 1 learned was that pug's ta
does not curl over in a perpendicula,
plane, like the runner of an old-fashioned
skate, but tends either to the right or
to the left, forming sort of Q. If ma
ture had not thus designed this breed of
CANNES there would have been no such
thing as caste among pug dogs, am
told by one who claims to know all about
them. He says that the importance of
a pug depends primarily upon whether
the tail curls to the one side or the other.
Ii it curls to the right, the dog is CONNIE
il faut; if to the left, the brute is worth
less. 1t may be that I have got the con-
ditions reversed, but the principle is the
same. Another authority has assured
ma that dogs pedigree was every
thing. 1 asked the pug fancier if both
these statements we're true, and if SO
how ne reconciled them.
Well," he said, "a pedigree isn't
absolutely essential to pug, but if the
pug is Well-Dfed his tail Will curl rs 1t
ought to-.
"But suppose it shouldn't?"
"It's got to, he insisted.
suggested that in the bright phrase
book Of biology there was no such ex-
preston as "got to; that there were
freaks of nature without end. Then I
asked whether, in case tail appertain-
ing to a dog of proud descent should
curl the wrong way, he would be recog-
nized still as belonging to an illustrious
line, or would forfeit his birthright.
The connoisseur in pugs shook his
head and refused to entertain the hy-
pothesis. When asked whether pug
dogs whose tails turned the wrong way
could be utilized as adjuncts Of left
handed persons, he replied he hadn't
given his life to the subject merely in
order that he might answer petty prob

of the 22d in Iowa, Illinois, Missouri
and Kansas were said to have killed
much of the fruit, corn and potatoes.
But the yield of the grain crops was not
cut short by that late spring. Though
the western farmers will have to wait
patiently for the coming reward of their
agricultural labor, the present aspects
of the growing season do not preclude
the possibility of fair returns, and the
late cold spell gives them no occasion to
complain.

INDIANS AS 1m1TaToRs,

The London Standard recently enliv-
ened its editorial columns with a power
full article about American Indians and
other heathens. Sitting Bulls reported
conversion to Christianity by a Roman
Catholic bishop was the occasion of this
notable essay. The object of the writer
is evidently to prove that the savages can
rarely be tanned. They are quick to
Learn civilized customs, but generally
lapse into their original barbarity at the
first opportunity. "Rafael Carrera, the
terrible ruler OF Guatemala" says the
Standard, "has been described as an
Indian, though in reality he was Sam
bo." This statement might lead the
Standards readers to infer that Carrera
played the bones and wore very wide
shirt collars. Irstead OF Sambo the in.
telligent leader writer probably meant
to write hIeztizo, the Spanish American
term for half-breed. But it is admitted
that full blooded indians have risen to
high places in the civilized world, and
ex-President Diaz is cited as au exam.

Gen. Logan, one OF President Grants
most trusted officers, was an Indian"
This evident confusion of the identity of
the distinguished senator from Illinois
with that of the celebrated chieftain who
died in 1880, and while living was noted
equally for bis eloquence aud his fond
ness for rum. is perhaps the most inter
esting feature OF the Standards article.
The senator, we lelieve, has the blood
of the aboriginal race iu his veins, and is
proud to reckon among his ancestors the
famous chief who was afraid nobody
would mourn for him. But it is put

THE LATE FRosTs hED THE GRAIN
CROPS.

The recent western frosts will give the
croaking classes another opportunity for
predicting crop failures. Already one
public writer, referring to the cold spells
OF May, holds up the terror of 1916, the
alleged 'ycar without summer" The
summer of 1916 was undoubtedly abnor.
mally cold in New England and south
ward to the Delaware River, and frosts
and thin ice were recorded in isolated
localities as forming in June, July and
August. But we have been unable to
find any evidence that the cold area of
that memorable season extended west of
the Alleghenies. Though it is asserted
by theold chronicler Pierce to have been
phenomenally frosty in Eugland, Luke
Howard's London observations for 1916
refute this assertion and show that the
mean midsummer temperature there was
slightly above sixty degrees, which is
nearly the normal.
While the present spring has been
Unexpectedly backward, the late depres-
sion of temperature was not SO marked
as to justify any forebodings of grave
and general disaster to the crops.
Though the thermometer fell, as report
ed. in the west On Monday night to
about two degrees below freezing, the
frost area did not cover the great grain
growing districts, and the cold was but
little, If any, in excess Of that reported
not infrequently in May from these dis

for further intelligence before conclud.
ing that irreparable injury has been
done to the crops. During the excep-
tional,y cold May of last year MINI
mum temperature of ten degrees below
freezing was reported from Michigan,
Minnesota and Montana, and the frosts

THE BEseaR,s DOG.


Rambling one day in London City,
1 saw II dog that raised my pity,
wrctched cur, all skin aud bone,
That in the gutter crawicd alone;
And in his mouth Il smiled at that)
He held an old and crownless hat.
With quick and deferenual eye
He watched the bustling passers-by,
Who in their haste, rs on they Jared,
Nor cast glance at him nor cared.
Yet some, when they bad passed some PAGES,
Would halt with grins upon their faces;
His story was so plain indeed
So plain that ne who ran might read;
"a beggar's dog--his master dead
The beast still carries on the trade,
And trusts by diligenc" snd care
The pubic patronage to snare"
lsauntcrcd on; but rs went,
My thoughts upon that dog were bent.
"Behod ~ I said, in meditation,
% The force of custom, education;
And though We laugh at him-'tis sad
Some human plans are quite as bad.
How many schsmes in this same town
Are merely hats without the crown;
Ways indirect, nut most complete,
Of tossing money on the street."
