The easiest trick to teach a dog is
Jumping. First put the learner into a
corner, and make bar of a stick-a cane
will answer the purpose-so that he can
not get outof the corner except by jump
ing over it. Do this until he jumps over
the stick without hesitation, when you
may gradually raise the height of the bar
any required distance from the floor.
After the trick has been learned in the
corner, it may be tried in the center Of
the room. Later on you may make a
hoop of your arms and teach your pupil
to jump through it, and after a while a
real hoop. Possibly one that is covered
with tissue paper may be substituted
with good results.
Another easy trick is sitting up. AS in
the frgt trick, begin in a corner. Place
the pupil in a sitting pose, SO that his
back finds support against the walls, and
by tapping him lightly under tho chin
force him to sit up. After some practice
he can do this without much effort
Now accustom him to sit up without any
back support It is harder to make a
dog stand erect than to do either Of tho
two tricks just described As before, it
should be begun in the corner. II the
learner tries to come down upon all fours
before his lesson is over tap his chin and
the bottom Of his forepaws with the
whip.
When he can stand erect he should ba
taught to walk This is done by holding
out piece Of meat or some dainty NOR
sci ON a level with his mouth, and then
slowly backing away from him so as to
induce him to follow. After he has
walked a few steps tell him TO stand on
his four feet and give him the bait that
you have encouraged him with
Let me say here that you should never
let your dog come to the end Of any trick
without commanding him to do so. It
should never be left to a dogs own judg-
ment TO bring a performance to close
You should be the master Of ceremonies
ell the way through-at the end as well
as at the beginning Of the show. Never
exercise your pupil for too long a time at
a stretch. You may weary him and
make him dread the lesson hour.-[Dr
Glover IN Harpers Young People.

a Paris paper tells an amusing story
Of an event which, it says, occurred a
little time back. Two gentlemen, o

tenant on the ground floor got out by
one Of his windows and promised to find

however, and none Of the locksmiths in

hGhefal Gordon, the newly elected
Senator from Georgia, was In Washing
ton the other day, The general once re-
signed his seat simply to return to private
business. He was, when In the Senate,
intimate with Mr.. Lamar, who is now on
the Supreme Bench. When Senator
ConklinE made himself 90 offensive TO
Senator Lamar during an executive ses-
sion, Il was General Gordon who carried
TO him challenge from the Mississippi
Senator. Mr.. Lamar Is q man Of very
peaceful habits and ordinarily mild. But
Underneath his gentle manners and quiet
ways he has a real volcano Of temper.
Mt Conkling'a manner was 30 aggressive
and 30 unbearable that Mr.. Lamar sent
him this challenge, 1t was one of tho
great sensations Of the time. Although
the insult and the answer took place with
in the sacred privacy Of an executive ses-
sion, Jet Of course, every detail Of the
affair became known TO the public. The
stranRest part Of the affair was that Mr.,
Conkling treated the challenge with
great gravity, and was perfectly willing
TO accept It, This duel was placed in the
hands Of q committee Of Senators, and il
was settled finally in accordance with
the regulations Of the code. The process
verbal Of the settlement was also spread
upon the records Of the Senate.
It was the last time that the duel has
ever been ofiicially recognized by that
body. The weight Of the sentiment Of
the Southern Senators Influenced even SC

Hamlin, as he was one Of the Senators
who acted for Mr.. Conkling Ia drawing

fensiVe words. Mr. Lamar had in the
midst Of the controversy flashed into a
white heat and called Mr.. Conkling 8

hardest to wipe out Of the controversy
