things Just as the situation demanded !
was very well acquainted with him, and I
| hope will not be accused of trying to lug it
in if l say that we were in college together.
! After graduating in the classical course and
1 going through the law department with
honor, he struck on a first rate position rs
general assistant in the family of a gentle
man in reduced circumstances, but still
proud. My friends name was William Ell
/ lery Perkins. After he had driven the poor
but naughty family in the park, he would
put the horses in the barn, give them feed
of oats and little baled hay, and then go in
the house and cook dinner.
After he got things ready he would sprinkle
dust over the wine bottles which the boy had
just brought, put on Il pair of white gloves
and 60 in and take his place by the side
board. "William.' his master would say
they had friends at dinner, of course-''Wil-
liam, Jeemes embarrassed the bays, | sup

would reply. John put the carriage in, eh?"
''Yessir, yer honor" "Is Charles at the
door?" 'YeSsir, yer honor" did Moliere
say that dinner was quite readyY" ''Yessir,

with the govt today-you will be obliged to
bring up the dinner Perkins would go
down and bring it up.
When he brought in the wine he would
make a great flourish at brushing off the
bottles with feather buster and Juggling at
the corks with big corlscrew which worked
some like an egg beater, and occasionally his
master would send down gentle reproof to
Moliere about something that wasn't cooked
| just right 1t kept Perkins busy, you may
well believe, because frequently, right in the
middle OF the dinner, while helping the POM
mes de terre out of the kettle, or something,
he would hear the off horse trying to kick the
barn down, and would have TO run out and
hit him two or three whacks with an old
wooden pump handle which he kept for the
purpose, TO make him stop. But he didn't
mind it, and stuck to the place long time,
| till they wanted him to put on a starched
dress aud lace cap and wheel the baby out

English Dog Laws.

The Society for the Prevention of Hy-
drophobia and the Reform of the Dog
Laws of London wishes to promote an act
of Parliament to settle the dog question
once ana for all by the enforcement of
the muzZle and by system of registra-
ton and licensing. 1t stands pledged to
the statement that rabies might be abso-
lutely eradicated, and that it may easily
be diminished by proper precautions In
Prussia. where these precautions are
taken, there died of hydrophobia in a par
ticular period but two persons In Great
Britain, where they are not, there died
eighty-nine. The two countries have
about the same population.
Our worst misfortune in the matter is a
tendency to hot and cold fits. When
rabies is widely prevalent we take precau-
tions; when it diminishes, in consequence
of precautions, we relax them, and it
breaks out again. The society would
keep us at one temperature of rational
prevention. In 1885 twenty-seven persons
died of hydrophobia in London alone.
The muzzling edict of that winter re-
duced the number to nine in 1885, 1t seems
clear that we have only to go on steadily,
year by year, to reach the Prussian figure,
or zero. AT any rate, the experiment de,
serves full and fair trial-London

In paper in the British Association on
"Tattooing," Miss A. w. auckland said
that in Africa. Australia, and the islands
of the Indian Ocean, tattooing consists of
a series of short cuts, which heal, leaving
cicatrices. In New Zealand, America, the
Pacific islands, among the .tribes in India,
and in Burmah, Bornea and New Guinea,
patterns are first drawn upon the skin,
and then punctured with thorns, needles
or splinters of human bones Color is
then rubbed in. The process is very pain
full, and can only be carried on at inter
walls, several years sometimes being re-
quired for its completion. Among men
tattooing is valued as mark of bravery.
