WHAT DOGS KNOW.
They Arc MindReaders Rather Than
Word Readers.

While dogs generally do not really
know the meaning of one-half the
words that their masters think they
know, they certainly do learn to dis
criminate between certain words with
the sound of which they have been
made familiar. They are, however,
much better mind-readers than word
readers. says Youths Companion.
1t is common thing to hear people
say of dog: HE understands every
thing that is said" / do not believe
that this was ever true of any dog, nor
anywhere near true. Intelligent dogs
know their names and generally recog-
nize the meaning of some half dozen
other words. But they are SO wonder
fully quick in the use of their instinc-
tive perceptions-so much quicker than
civilized human beings ever are-that
people who see them exercise these
perceptions often unreasoningly as
sumo that they understand the words
upon which, rather than upon in
stinctive perceptions. human beings
base their actions. / will illustrate

OUR NATIONS CAPITAL.
It Has Moved AboHt o Good Deal Nor
Than Most Peop.e Suppose

It Has Moved AboHt q Good Deal More
Than Most People Suppose.
We are quite sure that if number
of boys and girls were asked to name
the different capitals of our country,
the order would be something like
this: Philadelphia, New York and
Washington. This is all right as far
as it goes, says the Blue and Gray, but
the truth is our country has had q
good many more capitals than those
named. It may be said that during
the revolution the British kept things
moving" They would have been very
glad to lay hands on the "rebel" con-
gress; knowing which, that body took
good care to keep out of their way.
Inasmuch as wherever congress went
it took the national capital with it,
you can readily understand why the
following named places bore that
honor at the dates named:
Philadelphia, from September 5, 1874,
until December, 1776; Baltimore, from
December 90, 1776, to March, 1777;
Philadelphia, from March 4. 1777, to
September, 1777: Lancaster, Pa, from
September 81, 1777, to September 80,
1777; York, Pa, from September 80,
1777. to July, IT'S; Philadelphia, from
July 2, ITS, to June 80, 1888; Prince
ton, n. j., from June 80, 1888, to No
vember 20, 1888; Annapolis, Md, from
November. 1888. to November, 1884;
Trenton, n. j., from November, 1884,
to January, 17s5; New York, from
January II, 1875, to 1870, when the
seat of government was changed to
