Teaching Dogs stage Tricks.

The pointer is the most easily trained
of short hair dogs. The bulldog is much
more intelligent than is generally sup
posed, and, while less fcrocious than is
commonly beloved, mono is capable of
greater affection. Mr. Stevens insists
that kindness is tho principal factor in
training dogs. Other fanciers, however,
have long commended that brute force only
can be relied upon.
Most stage tricks arc done by cues or
signals, without attracting the attention of
the audience. "Romeo" selects any num-
Ter given by one of the audience. Blocks
upon which the ten numerals are painted
AFRO nrrayed in row on the stage. The
dog has been taught to commence at the
extreme right, and slight clearing In
the throat by the master, unheard beyond
the footlights, is cue for the dog to pass
the first, second, third, etc., until he
reaches the correct block. Silence then
gives consent, and the trick is successfully
performed. 1t required two years of pa
tient training to teach Romeo to pick cut
those numbers, his trainer said, although
the dog is remarkably bright animal. =

flow Of oratory and descriptive power

Is felt that something must be done so
that business may be more equally dis
tributed among this brotherhood. No
name has yet been decided upon for the
association, though it is rumorcd it has
been suggested that it should be called
the Auctioneer's School of Oratory. A
meeting, it is also rumored, was held rc-

cation were considered, the matter being
finally left in the hands Of committee

the ideas promulgated were interesting.

are anxious to rid the craft of the monot-

considerably by being mellitluously de-
scribed, and thus invested with an in

How Lord Give Won His Wife.

About the middle of the last century a
young cadet named Maskeleyne went to
India, where he became acquainted with
Lord Give. The acquaintance ripened
into intimate friendship and led to con
slant association. There hung up in
Maskeleyne's room several portraits.

Clive's frequent attention. One day
after the English mail had arrived Give
asked Maslleleyne if he had received any
English letters, adding: 1--WE have been
very much misunderstood at home and
much ccnsured in English circles. ="
Maskelevne replied that he had, and read
to his friend letter he then held in his
hand.
A day or two afterward Give came
back to ask to have tho letter read to
him again. "NNho is tho writer?' in
quired Give. my sister" was the re-

Maskeleyne, 'of her face and form, but
it is unequal to represent the excellence

Maskeleyne," said Give, taking him by
the hand. "you know me we'll, and can
speak of me as I really am. Do you
think that girl would be induced to come
to India and marry mer In the present
state of affairs dare not hope to be able

The close alliance between the whisSey ring
and the Administration. He shows that the
whiskey tax results in an enormous profit TO
distillcrs that there is no monopoly on this
continent to be compared with that which they
enjoy; that the regulations of the Department
protect them as no other industry or individual
is protected. and twist all laws in their favor.
When the whiskey ring made its bargain with
democrats in 1883, and helped Governor
lIoadly's election in Ohio it prepared the way
for the election Of President Cleveland and
the subsequent rulings OF the Administration
show decided willingness to "reciprocate."
TO preserve the whiskey monopoly. enrich the
distillcrs and attack the tariff is the Kentucky
policy which has become the policy OF the
President. When Senator Brown makes war
on that policy, naturally Senator Beck, of
Kentucky, answers angrily.
But the Senator from Georgia is not likely
to stand alone. There are other Democratic
Senators and some Representatives who hold
with him that the party may well let the tariff
alone and get rid OF the internal revenue and
the army of officials which that branch of the
service employs. In Southern States the hos
tilty to this tax is particularly strong. The
Administration which proposes to uphold the
monopoly of distillers, in order to break down
American miners and manufacturers. will meet
resolute opposition from Democrats who believe
in encouraging the development Of Southern
resources, as from those who want to leave
each State to tax, regulate or suppress the
whiskey business for itself A small number Of
Democrats who, for either of these reasons,
oppose the Presidents policy, will leave the
democratic party in minority in both
branches of Congress. In that event. the NOM
nation Of candidate whose measures his
party cannot unite in supporting would be less
interesting to Democrats than TO Republicans.

can agree upon some reduction of the tariff IN
