Not long ago was passing barn
yard in this place and stood to look
over the gate at pretty half grown
lamb standing alone outside the barn.
But the sight of me so enraged a
fierce, shaggy gray dog tied up to
his kennel between the lamb and me
that he barked himself nearly into
fits, showing all his teeth and strain
ing SO furiously at his chain as to
make me quite nervous lest it should
give way. In the meantime struck
such terror into the heart of the
lamb that it fled across the yard to
place itself under the protection Of
the dog and stood close by his side
while he barked and danced with
fury.
As drew little nearer the lamb
backed right into the kennel, and
when, after ! had made a circuit in
order to watch the further move
ments Of this strange pair Of friends
from behind tree, saw their two
faces cautiously looking out together,
cheek to jowl. while the dogs anger
was being reduced to subsiding splut
tiers Of resentment He was not a

Tangier's beauty lies in so many
different things-in the monklika
garb Of tho men and in the white
mufaed figures o. the women; in the
brilliancy Of its sky and Of the sea
dashing upon the rocks and tossing
the feluccas with their three cor
nered sails from side to side, and in
the green towers Of the mosques and
the listless leaves Of the royal palms
rising from the center Of mass Of
white roofs, and above all in the col
or and movement in the bazaars and
streets. The streets represent alb
solute equality. They are at the
widest but 8 yards across, and every
one pushes. and apparently every
one has something to sell, or at least
something to say. for they all talk
and shout ct once and cry at their
donkeys or abuse whoever touches
them. A water carrier, with his

Little Emily had been very naughty
because her mamma would not let
her go out with a party Of friends
with whom they were staying, and
she screamed 80 that every one in
the house was distressed and worried.
Her mamma had to lock her up in a
room and tell her she could not come
out till she said she would be good
and promised not to cry any more.
Every now and then her mamma
would go and ask her to promise, but
she only screamed the louder.
At last a silence fell upon the
house, and when poor mamma opened
the door, there, stretched upon the
door, lay the pretty weary little
form, and when the dear mother
drew her to her and asked the oft
repeated question, will you he good
and promise not to cry any moresr
the pretty eyes looked up, still full
Of tears, and the little girl said, "Yes.
mamma, Ill be good and promise
not to never, never cry any more till

A year or two ego a lady-an
American-was walking along Lon.
don street and looking curiously At
the barrows and carts drawn up
against the curb. Some were filled
with old keys and tools, others with
fruit and vegetables, some with
cheap jewelry and here and there
one with books.

rows . young girl was seated on .

across the street the deacon and the

THE FLAG LOWERED.

AS will be seen by the statement
OF correspondent Of the GALE
DOMAIN whose article appears in
another column, the American resi-
dents at Honolulu were not over
pleased at Commissioner Blount's
lowering OF the United States flag
there and his virtual withdrawal of
the protectorate. This feeling of
dissatisfaction was natural enough,
as the pulling down OF the Stars and
Stripes anywhere is unplcasantly
suggestive to loyal citizen.
Bat the Hawaiian affair involves
important questions whose settle
ment should not be made to depend
on the satisfaction or displeasure OF
any one class OF citizens resident
either here or there; and while the
lowering Of the flag at Honolulu
may at hrst l%"ught strike ma
Jority OF our people unfavorably,

SOME FIGURES or INTEREST.

From the report OF Vermont's in
dustrial transactions in 1892, issueC
by the Board Of Agriculture, some in
teresting figures can be CLEANED. A.
the report is based on returns from
the clerks Of 234 towns, it may be
looked upon as fairly complete and
reliable. During that year 1914
towns were sold; in these sales
Windsor county led with 295, and
Grand Isle county shows the lowest
number OF sales-iour In Gale
donia county there were 127 sales,
just two more than were reported in
1891 Three hundred and seventy
six farms in the state are reported as
unoccupied either by owner or
tenant, and Wndham county leads
in this record with Oh farms, Gale
donia county reports 4S unoccupied
places, and Chittenden, Franklin
and Grand Isle counties have none
The above figures as to unoccupied
farms will strike the average reader
as rather too large-though the |
compilcrs OF the report express the
belief that not over 200 Of the cases

Golden Rules for Dinner. Givers.

There are one or two golden rules in
regard to giving dinners which no one
can over do wrong in following. The
dinner should be unambitious and well
served. Everything should be hot.
There should not be too much to eat,
and no dinner should last over an hour
or an hour and ten minutes at the out
side. Very few people dine out for the
sake Of getting good food only. There
are some houses where one expects and
where one gets dinner to dream Of,
but such houses are few, and the ordi-
nary hostess should content herself
by feeling sure that when her guests
leave they will carry away the convic-
ton that they have passed m evening
which has been morethan usually pleas
ant. In Francesociety meets pleasantly
without being fed. The salon, which
gave so much distinction to French so.
ciety, was purely intellectual meeting,
where conversation was the object and
the slightest refreshments supplied all
the material wants Of the coterie. Al
though French society has altered, still
such portion Of it rs has any title to dis
tinction still adheres to the old custom.
