Dogs and Cats in King Howers Time,

Dogs and Cats in King HoweIs Times.
The worth of dogs is variously est
mated; in the Tenth century the kings
buckhound being valued at fifteen pence
when born and one pound when fully
trained, while "a herd dog is worth the
best OK, and whatsoever may possess a
cur, though it be the king, its value is
fourpence."
Cats, however, are priced without dis
tincton. there being probably but one
breed. Nor is any extra value set upon
those favored cats, which, by reason of
their royal ownership, enjoyed the daily
privilege, accorded them proverbially,
Of looking at king. No matter to what
family or place it may belong, 1.-THE
worth Of q kitten from the night it is
httened until it shall open its eyes, is q
legal penny. and from that time until 1t
shall kill mice, two legal pence" four
pence being the full value Of cat, as of
a sheep or Of goat.
The qualities expected of her are par
ticularly catalogued and the list Of them
runs thus: ITO see, to hear, to hill mice,
to have her claws entire, to rear and not
to devour her kittens, and IL she be
bought and be deficient In any one of
those teithi, let one third of her worth
be returned. ALI the Year Round.

Summer Schools.

Both Harvard and Cornell universities
Will hold summer schools this season.
They will begin about July l and the
sessions will occupy some SIX weeks.
There will be courses of instruction In
languages, science, mathematics and
philosophy. Harvard will have a course
In horticulture. One is glad to observe
that at both universities there will be
instruction in physical culture. This
would be worth the whole summer
school training if there were no other
studies. It is what young Americans
need just now more than they need
Latin and Greek.
The courses at the two universities
named are especially for the benefit Of
teachers who cannot attend school at
any other time Other summer schools
designed particularly for the training of
teachers will be open at Bay View,
Mich, and at Msrtha's Vineyard, the
latter being known as the Martha's Vine
yard institute. AT nearly all the sum-
mer schools the course will last six
weeks. At Phillips academy, Exeter,
N. H., there will be a summer school Of
languages exclusively. Professor Felix
Adler and his excellent friends who
founded the school of morals and eco
Monies at Plymouth, Mass, last sum-
mer will hold forth again this summer.
Professors from Harvard and Ann Har-
Dor will aid in the instruction.
There, too, as usual, is the great sum-
mer school at Chautauqua. mother of
all the summer schools. 1t begins July
9. and President Harper, of the Chicago
university, is its principal. Long may it
wave.

The celebrated French poet, Saint

The only thing that investment
brokers complain of here is the scarcity
OF applications for loans. People don't
seem to want to borrow money, and the
presumption is that they don't have
to-" That indicates a very healthy
condition Of affairs for a new country,
where the work of developing the great
natural resources is necessarily slow,
laborious and expensive. That so much
could be accomplished in so short a
time without the aid of borrowed cap
ital is really a marvel. This is particu-
larry true in the farming districts, ac-
cording to the loan brokers, who
say they find it difficult to
place the money sent to them
by their Eastern correspondents
for the purchase of farm mortgages.
And 1t is not because of any stagnation
In the farming industry, or because i'm.
provements are not being made. Hun
dreds of new acres are being 'tickled
with the pillow and made to smile with
the harvest" each year. And another
thing that speaks well for the safety
and desirability of real estate loans in
this locality is the fact that the inter-
ests payments are promptly met. The
leading dealers in securities of this class
here report that they have not yet had
a single interest default.

1t is stated that the average rainfall
in the United States is 29.6 inches, the
variations ranging from zero to 125
inches. The general average therefore
is about the average of this immediate
vicinity-a little less perhaps but not
much. Judging from the graphic
press accounts of the recent terrible
floods in the Mississippi valley, the
maximum precipitation must have
fallen in that section of the country
this year. The pecuniary loss resulting
from the foundations from the Mis-
sissippi is estimated to reach the enor-
nous sum Of $4,000 600 and the loss of
human life is not known. The calam-
ity is one of the greatest of the century
and one of its effects will be to induce
thousands who have suffered from il.
and have had similar experiences in
the past to seek new localities where
such calamities are unknown. A large
number of them will come TO Wash
ington and to Puget Sound, where they
will have an opportunity to compare
the much talked of humidity of the
climate" of the Pacific coast with that
of Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, Western
Tennessee, Arkansas and other Missis-
sippi valley states, where the people are
now going to market in boats and
waiting for the waters to subside so
they can replant their corn and cotton

SLEEPING WITH A BABY.
An Awful Nuisance, and Yet His Victim
Can't Help But Love Him.
rains.

An AWtul nuisance, ana Yet HIS victim
Can't Help But Love Him.
Housekeeper's Weekly.l
The laughable experience, given
in one of the daily papers, Of a man
who has "slept with a baby and liv-
ed through it," will strike a respon-
sive chord in the breast Of those
who have passed a night with one
Of the little wriggling, tossing NOR
sells of humanity.
The baby, says the experienced
one, if he happens to be a lusty lit
tie fellow of s or 8 months, will de-
cline to stay covered, and will also
decline to allow you to keepyourself
covered. He indicates his wishes
in this direction by keeping his lit
tie pink heels going all night,
good part Of the time on your back.
He will also insist on lying "cross-
wise" "endwise," "cat-a-cornered,"
"bias,' or in any other positiontbut
that which will give you a few inch
es Of room in the bed and few
minutes sleep. His infantile needs
begin to manifest themselves about
l o'clock in the morning, at which
witching hour you will so blunder-
ing around in the dark for a drink
Of water.
He will howl steadily and cheer
fully from 2 to 3 o'clock, and will
kick you furiously between the
shoulder blades with every howl.
1t will not be of any use for you
to pat him tenderly and sing out:
"There, there" He is right there
and knows it, and intends that you
shall know it. 1t is of no use to say,
coaxingly: "Whatdoes papa's baby
want?" Papa's baby doesn't want
anything butto howl, and he is graf
flying that amiable desire to the ut
most. tits Of no use to add to your
judgement-day list OF enormities by
swearing. And if your wife has
been calmly passive throughout it
all she will develop an amazing de-
gree Of spirit if you dare lay the
weight Of your finger in anger on
that "poor, dear, innocent, darling
sweetness" He will squirm all
night, as though he was first cousin
to an angle worm. Hewill journey
around all over the bed, both under
and on top of the coverings. You
are no sooner asleep than one Of
his moist little heels is planted firm
ly in your nose or in your mouth
and later on, with childhood's scorr
of decency and decorum, he will sit
astride your neck and grow greer
and purple with rage when gently
made to sit elsewhere. Should he
fall out of bed and yell loud enough
to be heard all over your ward YOU
wife willsay that she firmly believes
that you pushed him out and tina
you are not fit to be father, any
how. An animated dialogue of I
purely personal and private nature
will follow this remark.
But when the roistering LITTLE
chap finally snuggles up" to yo'
and goes to sleep with one of hi
velvety little cheeks close to you
own, and one of his warm, soft arm
around your neck, you find you
, heart growing very soft and tende
toward him, and you would singh
, handed wage war against a host o
! lay down your life for the love o
him.
