CONCERNING DOGS.
4 Few Remarks Thereon by One Of Puckes
Observing Naturalists.

Few Remarks Thereon Oy Ono Oh FuC3s
Observing Naturslists.
No home is complete without dog.
Many q man has dog that has no
home. but very few men have a home
and no dog. A home without dog is
just about as sad as dog without
home. When you 60 home at night
you like to be welcomed by your dog,
who scampers to you across the oil
cloth and banks with delight. and
jumps on you with unbounded glee,
and leave his foot-marks on every
square inch of you, from your boots to
your hat.
You always appreciate the affection
of your dog, because you know it
springs from the heart and is genuine.
You know that the dog means every
thing he banks. and that every jump is
impregnated with sincere love. You
know that he is not getting on the good
side of you for seal-skin sacque, or q
dozen pairs of imported gloves that
button away up the arm and back to
the collar-bone. As he springs upon
you and tries to lick your face, you
know it is not because he thinks the
parlor requires new lambrequins, or
because he would like a box at the
opera.
The dog is a great comfort in the
house. He keeps burglars and tramps
away, and keeps away himself when he
thinks he is gong to be VIII pped. He
is handy to have around the table to
eat up the fat that you can not eat YOUR
self. 1t seems strange that dog has
to be cha:ned to be kept from running
away from home, when it is impossible
to drive him away with profanity and
bricks. Unfasten him, and beat him
and kick him, and throw coal
at him, and drive him off the
premises. and what is the result? Why,
the result is that inside of an hour you
will find him sound asleep on the hearth
of the.kitchen.
There never was = greater lover OF
home than the dog. He is perfectly
happy at home, and he always makes
himself at home. Hewill sleep on any.
thing that is soft, it doesn't make any
difference to him whether it's door
mat, crazy-quilt, or velvet dress.
You can find his hair on every square
inch of dry-goods in the house, except
the curtains. and he would sleep on
themif he could. He likes every piece Of
furniture in the house that has cushion
On it. no matter whether it is Eastlake
or East New York. The dog nevergets
sick of home; but take him away from
home, and he will get home-sick.-R.

DISEASE.
Ones Health Substantially Placed In Hh

Ones Health Substantially Placed In Hh
- Own Keeping.
Many persons are predisposed to some
particular ailment. This predisposition
may have come down from remote an
cestors. leaping. perhaps, generation
now and then; or it may have originated
in the immediate parents. On the
other hand, it may have begun within
the life or the individual. In either
case, however late in life the attack Of
the actual disease, the person may show
no sign of the tendency in that direc-
ton, though frequently such tendencies
are clearly indicated. But to bring
about the attack, there must also be an
exciting cause-a condition OF things ia
voring its development. This fact is OF
great practical worth. 1t puts ones
health, after all, in his own keeping.
A bad inheritance does not necessarily
doom one TO premature death. He
NAV, Notwithstanding, die of old age.
He may, too, through carelessness or
recklessness, precipitate fatal attack.
It is desirable, therefore, that each per-
son should know his particular predis-
position.
Suppose one has inherited consump-
tive tendencies. He need not neces-
sarily die of the disease. His life should
be as far as possible an outdoor one.
His sleep should be in well-ventilated,
sun-disinfected rooms. His food should
include good proportion of fat, and be
specially nourishing. His life should be
active rather than sedentary. He
should avoid occupations that involve
much dust. Neither his home nor his
place of business should be in q low,
damp locality.
If the person tends to govt and apo
plexy, his safety will lie in avoiding
luxurious life. If to acute rheumatism.
in guarding against violent ATMOSPHERIC
changes and all chills after prolonged
exertion. If to asthma, in rendering
the system as far as possible unsuscept-
ible to ..colds'' (bronchitis.) since, in .
large majority Of cases, these start the
attacks.
The predisposing cause Of many infec-
tious diseases is . lowered vitality, or .
temporarily exhausted condition. The
general health must be looked after

Let Us stick TO the silver Dollar.

To THE EDITOR OF THE New York Sun
Sir: A few days since, after showing that
all kinds Of merchandise are more depre-
ciated as compared with our gold dollar than
is the standard silver dollar, and demonstrat-
ing the fact that a very large percentage of
the depreciation or distraction Of values
arises from the increased purchasing power
of gold, the Sun made this self-evident as
sertion:
"The proper way of expressing the truth Is to
say that the gold dollar is worth III cents,
while the silver dollar remains at par"
The idea that the commercial nations of
Europe and also this country are intent on
a mono-gold standard is terrifying. Throw
payments into merchandise will result more
disastrously than sinking 1t to the bottom of
the ocean, for IL In merchandise an aug
mented amount of mono-gold dollars will
be required to carry that much of extra
commodity.
Throwing silver out Of the category of
money surely leads to doubling, and In a
panic to trebling the purchasing power of
gold. 1t leads to- o suspension of specie
payments, for there is not gold enough to
go around. Before suspendlng the banks
will make desperate rush to call in loans.
Disaster will befall the debtor class and the
creditor class will find that a large per-
centage of their wealth has taken to itself
wings.
How to be saved is the question. x The
nations of Europe must resume the coinage
of silver, and we must give silver all the
advantages at our mints that we give to
gold. There must be an international ratio
fixed, and the mono-gold insanity must and
will come to an end, preliminary to which,
however, fear vast deal of trouble.
/ am heartily glad to see the Sun throw
some shine on the silver question. Yours,
john THOMPSON,
President Chase National Bank, New York.

Now, be It known to the uninitiated that
