an Instance Of canine intelligence A
party OF children had spent the fore
noon in a huckleberry pasture. A dog
belonging to a Mr.. Prindle, father of
one of the children. had been with
them. Upon their reaching home it
appeared that the Prindle girl had lost
her northumberland The dog,
being a remarkable animal and up to
such tricks was sent back TO flndit.
He came home after a while, dispirited
and without the missing article. As It
would never do to allow a precedent
like this to become established, the
owner vent back with the animal to
the field, and waited TO see that he
properly performed his task.
He was at first reluctant, and sat on
his launches for several minutes in a
state of evident mental detection. Sud
denly he started up, all alert, with the
air of having solved the problem, and
what heidi was this: He took his po-
sition a rod or 80 from the outside wall
and made a swift circuit Of the entire
field, keeping hat distance from its
boundaries. Returning to his starting
point, he took a new course a rod or
two inside his former one, and sur
rounded the field again as before. His
next course was at the same distance
inside that, and so he kept on, till, as
must in time inevitably happen, he
found the handkerchief and gave II to

1t is well for the incorporate smoker
Of tobacco to remember that blindness
sometimes results from the habit. 1t
appears that ut first there is an impair
ment OF the sensibility of the eye, which
is simply functional and largely. il not
entirely, disappears if the use of to-
fbacco is discontinued. But if the habit
Of overindulgence Is persisted In the
weakness of the sight becomes perma-
ment and organic. These changes may
go on until complete blindness has oc-
Cured. One popularity about this
trouble Is that sight is better in subdued
light, and side objects are seen better
than those in the center of the field of
view. The affection steals on insid-
iously, without pain or other symptom.
