II is evident that man who will seri-
ously undertake to put himself en- rap
port with other animals can exchange
communication with them at least as
satisfactorily as he could with another
man who was confined to an entirely
different language. My dog, who has
had no special training, understands
some half dozen Of my gestures, and
himself uses the turning aside OF
the head to indicate dissent, accom-
panied often by plain look Of disgust
at being misunderstood, puts up a paw
to deprecate punishment, turns on hAz
back to express submission, sticks up ld'
tail-the warrior brandishes his weapoz
or waves his flag; the dog has no weapon
by way Of defiance, lowers it for shame
or alarm.
That turning on the back, by the way
is well understood among dogs as
gesture Of surrender. Ii two strangt
dogs meet on the street and one shows
fight, if the other turns on his back ht

4 Love SONG



Tho bird In its nest at morn
Looks out through the leafy spAD&
And sends d sweet little song
From its hiding place
Only a note or two,
Only a faint Cool Cool"
But some other little bird will haas
And soon draw near.
The whispering leaves repeat ~
The story they oft have heard,
For oh, there's nothing 10 sweet
As the song OF the bird
A love song, 1t is true,
Only faint ''Cool CooI'
But some one calls out a-nears
Sweetheart, am berel'
-Cool Oool'' says one from the nest,
Ashy little warbler she; -.
''Oool Cool'' comes the answer back
In a lower key.
And then anew song Ia begun es

And with thrills and twitt'rings sweet,
The love song they repeat.

Such being my sentiments, and Beau
champ, having been most unequiyocally

the former. However, il is one thing to
approve of given quarrel, In the alb

self to be mixed up in it; to see one's

Cancerous growths are the most diff
cult skin diseases to control. The knife
Is generally the only thing that will
answer satisfactorily, but the drug called
pyoktanin has been used with consider
able success. As local dressing on
painful cancers that could not be re-
moved by an operation it gives consid-
cradle relief, and in many instances has
decreased the size Of the growth. For
poisonings of the skin various drugs are
used, but for ivy poison there is none
better than permanganate Of potassium
which makes an excellent wash for the
poisoned skin In Russia it has been
found Of great value in frost bites, re
lieving the itching and burning sensa
ton at once. For slight burns of tht
skin it is also Of great use, but severs
