A Dogs ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.

1t is no new thing, Of course, for dogs to be
polite, for no human being carries the idea
of self sacrifice to such a point as dogs do.
What man would leave his dinner utterly
untouched, no matter if Inc was ravenously
hungry, just to accompany a friend on a
walk in the woodsl That is a thing which
almost any good dog would do The
Listeners own collie, of whose character and
accomplishments he has, he believes, hereto
fore boasted, holds all his own purposes and
appetites invariably secondary to the notions
of at least half a dozen human beings.
This same collie, by the way, has mastered
a new accomplishment, entirely without in
struction He shakes his head when he wants
to say sno.n The same dog is well known
among his friends for his musical accom-
plishments being able to sound the scale,
scarcely accurately, but with excellent inten-
tion, to sing high or low notes as the key is
given him--though, to tell the truth, he hits
the exact note only about as frequently as do
certain public singers not to be namcd-and
his trills are invariably greeted with great
applause. His musical accomplishments have
lead an admiring critic to bestow upon him
the title of prima dogga.-Boston Transcript

Price of Beef in Paris.

A curious phenomenon is now taking place
in this country. The price of cattle on the
hoof is falling, and at the same time a
marked increase is noticeable in that Of
dressed meats. In other words, French
breeders are forced to sell their cattle at
lower prices than they could get a year or
two ago, while never before has the cost Of
veal, beef and mutton been greater to those
of us who consume such articles Of food.
Here in Paris and all the other large cities
of France people are Grumbling at the in
crease of butchers bills, and farmers all over
the country are complaining that it no longer
pays to raise cattle for the markets. Never
since 1870 has the price OF oxen, calves and
sheep been so low as now, and in some cattle
raising districts, notably in the eastern de-
partinents, the decrease is quite so per cent.
In the neighborhood Of Lyons, the city after
Paris that consumes tho largest quantity Of
meat, cattle on the hOof, which four years
ago were selling for $40 to Sll the hundred
weight are not now brir ging more than from
IS to So In Normandy cows are selling for
$50, which in April, 1886, would have brought
$50 to S1O0.--Henry Haynies Paris Letter.

Tbouebt II WAS OniDine.

A prominent New York doctor has been
repeatedly noticed Of late in attendance on
the occupant of a fashionable fiat house. Tho
latter is a millionaire who retired from busi-
ness some time ago, after many years of ac-
tivity, and Immediately became ill, as so
many old people do from a sudden change Of
habits. The patient complained Of a pecul-
lar roaring in his cars every morning and
evening, which was attended now and then
with strange clicking noise. The quinine
he had been taking was Immediately reduced
insquantity, but the buzzing and clicking in
his ears continued. At last the doctor was
becoming convinced that the quinine he used
was uncommonly cranky, wien it was dis
covered that the tenant Of the fat below
hal just bought S4OO music box, which
plsyed twenty-four tunes and ran for an
ho1r. The tunes couldn't be heard through
tho sick mans floor but the hum Of the
powerful springs and the click Of the cylin-
ders as the tuna waa changed had scared him
into big doctors bilL-The Argonaut.

sesne ut an Ants Funeral.

The following incident appears in the
Proceedings of the Linnean Society," hav-
ing been communicated to that learned body
by an observer in Australia. The writer
saw a large number Of ants surrounding
some that he had killed, and determined to
watch their proceedings closely. Accord
ingly he followed four or five that started
of from the rest toward a hillock a short
distance of, in which was an ants nest.
This they entered, and in about five minutes
they reappeaTed, followed by Others All
fell into rank, walking regularly and slowly,
two by two, until they arrived at the spot
where lay the dead bodies Of the soldier ants.
In a few minutes two Of the ants advanced
and took up the body Of one of their COM
rades, then two others, and so on, until
all were ready to march. First walked two
ants bearing a body, and then two without
burden, then two others with another dead
ant, and so ON, until the line was extended
to about forty pairs, and the procession now
moved slowly onward, followed by an irreg-
ular body Of about 200 ants. Occasionally
the two laden ants stopped, and laying down
the dead body it was taken up By the two
walking unbHrdened behind them, and thus
by occasionally relieving each other, they
arrived at a sandy spot near the sea.

with their jaws a number of holes in the
ground, in each Of which dead ant was

graves. This did not quite finish the re-

had attempted to run of without perform
