OF COURSE DOGS CAN TALK.
An Instance That Proves That There is a
Canine Language,

A curious sight was witnessed one after
noon ON the wharf at Cincinnati, says the
Commercial Gazette of that city. A gen
tleman, accompanied by two fine specimens
of the water spaniel went down to the
landing of the Newport ferry, at the foot
of Lawrence street Somehow he became
separated from the CANNES. or rather they
failed to follow him aboard The boat
had got out in the stream when the dogs
caught sight of their master and discover
ed that he was fast leaving them. Standing
on the edge of the float both set up a Wig
orous yelping, which attracted the atten-
ton of the bystanders.
Suddenly the older and larger dog plung-
ed into the river and began to swim rapid
ly toward the Kentucky shore. He had
gone about 100 yards when he seemed to
become aware that his brute companion
had not followed. Turning around. he
swan back toward the spot where the
younger dog stood. As he drew along
side the float he made no effort to get
aboard. The two began to bark at each
other-to hold an animated conversation
in the dog tongue, as it were. The older
dog, as he tiOated by tie side of the land
ing. barked encouragement to the more
timld animal, and apparently was urging
the latter to jump into the water The
barking duet lasted some minutes, and
then the young dog, seemingly convinced
by his companions assurance, grew bold,
and suddenly bounded into the river.
The first dog gave delighted yelp, and,
both turning their noses toward Kentucky,
began to swim straight across. side by
side Both continued to bark until they
reached the other shore, and could be

people on the ferry and the Kentucky shore
saw the strange race, and with people on
this side and on the bridge watched it to
the end. The dogs landed opposite to the
barracks. where they were awaited by their
owner, who with several other gentlemen
had hurridly walked down the bank There
was no limit to the delight of the two
animals as they rushed up to their master.
The river at this point is nearly half a
mile wide The action of the dogs seemed
to indicate that they had language of
their own. and the paternal manifestations
of the elder brute were most interesting to

The Number of People Since Adam.

Did you ever make calculation Of the
number of people that have inhabited this
globe since the beginning Of time? No
doubt You will sdy that such calculations
involve loss of time, and are, after all .
barren of results, but as we are engaged
In giving curious readings and odd cal
culatIons let us take few minutes time
and approximate. with a certain degree of
accuracy, at least the number that have
been ushered into and out of the sinful
world since the time when it was not
good for Adam to be alone. At the pres
ent time it is believed that there are l.
400. 900, coo human beings on our globe;
but let Us suppose there has been but an
average of 900,000.000 living at one
time since the creation. To give room
for any possible doubt as to the average
length of life we will put it down at 50
years. Ut may have been longer than that
during bible times; it has been much
shorter, however, SINCE With the aver
age length Of life reckoned as above we
have had two generations of 900 900, 600
each every century for the last {, ZOO years
Taking this for granted. we have had
about 1881. $40. 237, : 75, 266 inhabitants
on this globe since the beginning of time.
Admitting that there was a deal Of
guesswork about this calculation, and that
it has been hastily and perhaps inaccur-
ately done, it viii be preeeived. neverthe-
less, that our earth is a vast cemetery. On
each rood OF it .2S3 human beings have
found a burial place. 4 rood being
scarcely sufficient for ten graves, each

A curious idea came to me as | looked at
her. She reminded me of a picture / had

foreground, but in a moment the vague
image faded away.

curiously. Then, as / looked surprised at
that, she continued, sitting down beside
me in the window-seat, in the most friend
ly way Imaginable:

"It is nice to have someone in the house

Grass Raising.
Oranme COUNTY Farmer.

1t matters not how widely farmers may
differ in Judgment concerning the relative
value and profit of raising different farm
crops, all will agree as to the Importance
of raising standard crops of grass in pref
erence to all others, as the foundation
stone to all profitable farming. Therefore,
it is not matter of surprise when farm
becomes run down from over-pasture, or
deficient in hay, that the first cutlery should
be for more grass. This is the great cry
nov among farmers everywhere, and he is
rated the best farmer who cuts the great
est number of tons of hay and can keep
corresponding number of cattle to the
hundred acres throughout the year, with
out the aid of foreign supplies. Grain
raising and pasturing may be made mutu
lily profitable for time without the rota
alton of crops, but the time is certain to
,ome when grain-far1aing needs to oe al
ternated with grass. The use of special
fertilizers, however literally they are APP
piled, will not prevent, although it may
delay, the entire impoverishment of the
soil for time, but the result is always the
same in the end. That the destruction of
the fertility of the farm is accelerated just
in proportion to the weight and substance
of the crop removed from the soil. and
the speed with which it is affected. is now
admitted by all. and its fertility is extend
ed Just in proportion to the good judgment
of the farmer engaged in cultiyating it.

competent authority that the evils OF heredl

the recourse to beer as substitute for

A new method of dressing chickens for

Care must be taken to hold the chicken

and remove the feathers Immediately The

named have proved that the desert land
unirrigated will produce plentiful supplies
of grasses and forage plants, including
sorghum, and it is believed that wheat,
corn, and potatoes will grow equally as
well. Only two things were necessary to
accomplish these results: First. the
ground was pulverized deeply to make a
bed capable of holding the water that falls
in rain; and second, the planted surface
was covered after the sowing of the first
crop with matted straw to keep the loan

SIOUX GHOST FEAST.
Queer Rite Celebrated by Dakota Indians
Perhaps for the Last fine.

Several hundred Blackfeet Sioux arrived
here yesterday. and last night held grand
ghost feast, writes Fort Abraham Lincoln.
Dakota correspondent. Among the curious
ceremonies of the Sioux the ghost feaSts
is held in great reverence. 1t will soon be
abolished, by order of the Indian agent.
and like the great sun" dance will be
buried with the traditions of the past.
This feast is given by the relatives of those
who have died or been killed in battle. At
the feast held here there were six ghosts
represented by six stakes about four feet
IN length, set up In the ground within the
medicine lodge. A piece of buckskin was
sewed over the top of the stakes, upon
which was marked eyes, nose, mouth. etc.
to represent the head. Fifteen Indians,
with the big medicine man of the village,
were seated in a tepee smoking, but rarely
speaking to each other. Some live GOALS
were brought and placed before the medi-
cine man. who threw upon them wild sage
brush and holding some pemmican in the
| smoke chanted a weird song. Little child
rem were brought in and given this meat
to eat. and some had their ears pierced The
pemmican was also given to the others in
the lodge and some was placed at the feet
of the ghosts. Outside the lodge hundreds
OF Indians were gathered, forming small
circular groups of dozen or so bucks,
squaws, and children in their respective
places All were feasted with a menu
known only to Indians. Around the out
side of the medicine lodge horizontal poles
were placed. and to these the presents
which the ghosts were to distribute were
suspended, consisting of blankets, leg
gingS, beaded moccasins tobacco bags,
eagle feathers, etc. After remaining for
some time in view they were removed and
placed about the ghosts in the lodge. The
relatives now entered the lodge to cum
mune with the departed spirits, and the
presents were distributed to the favored
ones. The squaws sang and cried and
made great exhibitions of their grief.
They cut their flesh with knives, suffering
excruciating pain without a murmer to
appease the wrath of the evil spirit, so that
their loved ones may be joyful in the hap
Ply hunting grounds. Upon the conclusion
of the feast the lodge was taken down and
the naked GHOST loft Standinp
