By a little reverent and patient study
Of this intangible best of our natures
you might in time become the gamers,
! by a higher development within your
selves, of our sixth sense, intuition. A
/ few scientific people have lately been
experimenting In an attempt to com
municate with some of the domestic
animals, notably the dog, from the dogs
sides of life, their endeavor beinE by
a system of signals and cards with one
syllable printed upon them In big let
tiers, to enter into the dogs thoughts
little, instead of, as heretofore, merely
training the animal to comprehend
ours. May this worthy effort be re-
warded by q better mutual understand
ing between dogs and men. An intel

but a stupid companion, fancy, while
a philosopher speaking Sanscrit to
the average uneducated Anglo-SaxOn,
would certainly not be amusing for
any length of time.
To return to our original theme,
however, there can be little question
but that we are too stOical in our proud
silence as to our real feelings. Let US
learn to speak out more freely, more
pleasantly, but, above all, more frank
ly, to our masculine companions.
Bright fancies, deep and great thoughts,
and tender, loving expressions, all hid
den away forever in the depth of the
heart, always unuttered, are in a sense
a dead loss to humanity. To evolve
harmony out of it's jangling chords,
true beauty of proportion from It's dis
tOrted lines, Gin life, as in a prone
made, woman must lean upon a man
above her" Instinctively she is well
aware of this unwritten law, and insists
tenaciOusly upon following it wherever
1t Is possible.
There have been instances known
where a woman has made the discov-
cry that her mate was at least half a
head below her in height, of her stOOp-
ing her shoulders, and having the high
heels taken off from her shoes, in or
der to lessen her apparent height
while at the same time she would en-.
deavOr to add to her husbands stature
by compelling him to wear very high
heeled boots and the tallest Of tai
hats. I viii merely say that the spir
itual analogy of this Is a matter o.
everyday occurrence, so common as tt
excite no interest. Who among us has
not known some bright, sensible, anC
amiable woman, whose charming abil
ity socially was wasted or sadly marTeC
by her efforts to soften, smooth over, OF
