of the mind had supplanted the sheer

strength that had characterized tho
preceding epoch. The knee brooches
and silk stockings Of the eighteenth
century may be regarded as illustrative
of the predoninance Of the classes over
the masses. They defined the gulf
which separated these two elements Of
the human social system and implied

Trousers, therefore, as / have stated

of equality and democracy. and the

A VALUABLE FARM HAND
Dogs That Save Much Labor on
the Farm.
The Best Kind--What They Should Do
aud How to Make Them Do 1.-THE
Shepherd Dog Coming to the
Fr0nt-Eagiish Sheep Dogs.
[corYR1GHr. 1see.l


There is now a movement going on
for the benefit of the useful order Of
dogs, particularly those that are OF
service on the farm.
Emerson said: "a weed is plant
whose usefulness has not been discov-
ered,'' and the farmers dog in eli parts
of the country may be defined in a sim
liar manner.
Farmers as class are not very quick
TO adopt what is Of practical Importance
to them, especially when it is some
thing that cannot be brought to their
door; consequently what is common to
every other agricultural community in
the world is uncommon in America.

best friend was not overlooked, but
the poor shepherds were allowed
one dog free provided they cut his tail
short, which was supposed to interfere
with the chances of catching hares.
After being prevented by law from en-
1oylng the usual caudal appendage,
eventually they were born a Ia statute,
and they have been born so ever since.
Knowing, wide-awake fellows they are,
when you get them straight from stock
that inherited this popularity; always
resolute and determined. not quarrel
some except when his dock or anything
belonging to his master is nolested, and
then woe to the venturesome offender,
be he human or canine. II canine it is

For hard work. native intelligence,

adaptabiiity they have no superior 1t is
but seldom. however. that they can be
made to gather the flock or round" in
the collie fashion, and this is probably
the reason why cross between these
two varieties generally makes the best
farmers dog.
American farmers often say the
reason they do not buy such dogs is be-
cause of their cost and the difficulty of
getting youngsters trained in this
country; yet now that the best prize
winning stock has been introduced
from England one disadvantage may De
counted out. When it is remembered
that it Is a comparatively easy task to
train dog from such stock the other
excuse also vanishes.
OF course unless the dog invariably
inherits native intelligence from the
right stock it is useless task TO try to
teach him to be Of service on a farm.
He may chase the cattle and sheep, but
will not fetch them. Supposing a pup
from the right stock is procured, one Of
the family should have charge OF his
education II the farmer cannot attend
to it.
The pup should not be- taken into tho
house to be petted and spoiled and made
unfit for outdoor life, but should be
kept in the barn near the stock His
first lesson should be obedience, and Il

cier on England's real attitude to the
conference, and he believed that the in
terests of India were in many respects
like those of America. and that this fact
would alone suffice to alter its obstinacy
on the side of recommendation.
Secretary Foster. however, is extreme
ly hopeful of decisive results, but others
who have closely scanned the European
papers appreciate the fact that there is
a tremendous body of hostile feeling to
overcome among the leading countries
of Europe before any treaty can be
agreed upon providing for the larger
use OF silver. The fluctuations in feel
ing in Europe are not SO easy of meas
urement. Whether the manifest op-
position to bimetallism is on the point
of giving way is something the Ameri-
can delegates will find out when they
reach Europe. On the whole it IS safe
to say that DR.. Soetbeer's plan for the

all. be the entering wedge that will
