Wild DOGS of Assam.

Wherever dogs run wild, as in Aus
tralia and in India, they show many
of the characteristics of wolves. They
have a similar habit of hunting in
packs. The people of Assam tell won
derful stories of the cunning and sa-
gacity of these wild hounds when in
pursuit of game.
They say that when pack goes out
to hunt, an old dog goes in front and
searches for fresh scent of a deer.
Having found this, he starts off alone,
and when he has ascertained the
whereabouts of the quarry returns to
the pack, which he then disposes in q
circle of mile in diameter round it
each member of the pack has part
allotted to him.
These precautions having been
taken, the old general starts alone
once more in search of the victim,
and on finding gives chase. The start
led deer of course flies from his enemy
who follows, giving tongue as signal
to the rest of the pack. The deer, fan
outstripping the dog, rushes on, but is
suddenly met in front by one of the
outlying dogs, who gives chase. The
deer, of course, turning to the right
or left, again rushes off, only to b.
met and turned by another dog.
Thus, turned at every point, the
poor animal becomes more and more
exhausted, while the pack gradually
closes in upon it, leaving no avenue
of escape, and dozens of sharp fangs
soon feast on the victim which has II
this way been run to death -Youth's
Companion.

Causes of Cancer.

DR.. Mackenzie in his little book
about the crown prince and his treat
ment has few pertinent words about
the causes of cancer He says:
'HThere can be no question that the
determining cause of its appearance is
in many cases an injury, such as
blow, or condition resulting from an
injury, such as a scar or the persist
ent application to particular spot OF
something that keeps the tissue in
famed and angry, such as a Jagged
tooth which chafes the tongue. Work
ers in paraffine and petroleum are pc
culiarly liable to cancer of the parts
which are habitually exposed to the
action of these substances. 1t is well
known that a particular form of cancer
which formerly was common enough
in England is now almost extinct,
simply owing to the fact that the cause
which produced it has ceased to exist
When SCOT commanded a good price ii
had to be sifted. This operation ma
turally involved much Of friction
against the skin, whereby irritating
particles were rubbed into it, and
Chimney sweeps cancer was fire.
quent result Nowadays 1t does not
pay to sift the SCOT, and the disease to
which it gave rise has disappeared.
Among the causes Of local irrita-
ton heat is certainly one of the most
active. By far the most common seat
of the malignant disease in men is the
mouth, which is more exposed than
any other part of the body to irritation
by hot substances Every surgeon is
familiar with this fact. Whether it be
a lower lip, on which the hot stem of
a clay pipe or the smoldering paper of
a cigarette has rested day after day, or
a tongue exasperated by the frequent
contact of acrid tobacco smoke, or the
mouthpiece of a foul pipe, or made
raw by ardent liquors, or stung and
blistered by fiery condiments, the cause
is essentially the same-viz., the scar
ing of the superficial covering by pro
longed heat. In some places, where
hot brasiers are often applied to the
abdomen and thigh, cancer of these
parts is not uncommon. though all but
unknown in either of these situations
elsewhere. IN. L. Holbrook, IL D.,

HeIDinp Each Other.

Every one we meet has his own bur-
dens to carry. We do not want also
to infict him with our own. A bright
countenance, a smile, a pleasant word
are very insignificant things and yet
they are full of helpfulness. There is
this to be remembered, a kind act is
never amiss. Some soul is always
hungering and thirsting for a token
of sympathy. 1t is easy to see when
one needs pecuniary or material assist
ance and not very difficult to give it;
bat somehow when we speak Of
helping each other the phrase
takes on different meaning.
The word of advice judiciously
spoken where it is needed; en-
couragement and cheer to the down
hearted; praise and appreciation to the
ambitious; flowers and tender mes
sage to the sick and lonely; endless
love and forbearance toward our very
own; tears and sympathy with those
whose grief is too great for words; all |
who can even attempt to name the
thousand ways in which we can 'shelp
each other" Heaven forbid that we
should neglect these opportunities
It is through noble and generous deeds
that character is developed and every
act of generosity and kindness on our
part brings us closer in kinship .

The Pigeon Flyers.

Birds are susceptible to training, as
we all know, but it really taxes our
credulity to believe the stories told by
Charles Frederick Holder about the
pigeons of Modena in his new book,
IA Frozen Dragon and Other Tales. >
But they are strictly true for all that.
Read what he says: A traveller in
Modena observed a youth i'll pictur
esque costume leaning out of the win
dow of stone tower, his face show
ing every evidence of excitement and
pleasure. In his hand he bore a long
staff, upon the end of which was a
colored flag, with which he seemed to
be signaling to some one III the dis
lance The traveller soon distinguished
several other figures on the roofs of
various houses in the vicinity, all Of
whom seemed to be answering the sig
mails. Finally all the flags were with
drawn but that held by one man. He
stationed himself upon an eminence
on the roof, raised his staff high above
his head, and from about his feet
sprang into the air vast flock of
birds Up they rose, higher and
higher into the heavens, waving and
turning, the morning sun glistening
upon their varied colors as they ex-
posed themselves in different positions
to its rays
When almost out of sight they
turned, and meteor of wings came
rushing down with roaring sound,
and nearing the housetops again
alighted about the tall figure ON the
lofty roof Hardly had this been done
when another figure rose and another
flock darted upward These were pure
white, and resembled fecks of silvery
cloud as they swept about. These
maneuvers were repeated two or three
times, the birds always returning in
obedience to the waving Of the flags
In Modena there are fully 100 tloclzs
Of these. pigeons, composed Of several
hundred birds each, and they have
been bred and trained from the earliest
times. They understand and obey the
signals just as soldiers do on the field
Of battle. Sometimes the whistle is
used as signal instead of the flag,
and they obey that too. Philadelphia

clock actually did strike thirteen in
