A Dog with a Conscience.

Stories of sagacious dogs are plenti-
full enough. but they always form pleas
ant reading. chiefly because they are
true. Here is q dog with conscience.
He is Skye terrier. The owner had q
dish of mutton outlets for his lunch.
When the rcpast was finished there
was one outlet left on the dish. The
gentleman was reading the newspaper
and appeared to be taking no notice.
The dog saw the outlet and his mouth
began TO water. Then he smelt at it.
1t was very nice. Doggy resolution
could stand il no longer. The terrier
seized the outlet and bolted under the
sofa. Still the gentleman took no no
tice. The terrier paused for mo-
ment, excepting to receive kick or o
torrent of abuse. Nothing of the kind.
The master took no notice. Somehow
all the flavor of the outlet seemed to
have departed. The conscience-strick-
Oh terrier refused to touch it. He
looked pitifully around for q time.
How could he offend so good master?
lie would not.
He simply picked up the outlet, laid
il at his masters feet, hung his head
in shame, and skunk away, with his
whole body expressing the sentiment of
shame as plainly as anything this
world has ever seen. The master did
not beat the dog, but gave the outlet to
him.-Fr0n, the Hour.
According to New York professor.
tho commol idea that fly uses its
wings like bird is q mistake. The
wing of the insects, he says, is COM
paratively narrow, and it makes up
for the want of expanse by lateral mo-
ton. 1t does not beat back and forth
in one place, but makes movement
