NEW YoRK's
A Friendly Study of Men who Arc Little
Understood.

1t is a mistake, g%rievously unjust, to
assume that Bohcmians are merely a
lot of idle, lucklcss fellows, writes John
Boden, in Donahoe's Magazine.
Bohcmians must be good men. They
must have brains of good quality and
hearts in the right place. They may
have no home now. but they all did
have one once. That is why they can
draw it SO accurately. In numberless
instances they were the pets, the
bright boys of the family. They grew
tired of the villages in which they
were born and nocied to larger cities.
Mccca-like, New York received
them. 1t was tho great market in
which men who had brains to dispose
of to others did their trading. Com
mon aims made these young men
friendly. They mel in Newspaper

ars seek, in quaint old restaurants

gether, and a bonding of heart and
purpose was made. They got to know
where to find each other. Their cause
was common, and together they flock

Since those days it has branched
out, and, like all other worlds, has

The Press club, the Lotos club and
that most unique of all Bohemian in
situations, tho Tenderloin club, are
the marts in which its people gather
on stated days; but, eXquisitely inter-
esting rs they are to the stranger that
by nc means contains the essence OF
the charm of the Bohemian's life.
In the club he is to some slight ex-
tent, ut least, conventional. He pays
n tribute now and then to fashion, but
it is only q passing one, and he is away
again to where his household gods
hold unlimited sway. He is back to
his little room which is his workshop,
his temple, his parlor, his playhouse
and his dormitory.
He does notcall it homo. There are
too many sacred memories clustered

term of "den' is given to these abodes.

moose was the point of departure for a
long. thick crimson line and Il network
of branching veins proceeding down

with delicate veins. They were of a

BAKERY, the guardian of the Nile, was
one Of the principal deities in tho
country to the south of the Mediterra-
e q at the time or before the building
of the great pyramid. This mytho-
logical creature -Sirius-which was
supposed to give warnings against the
periodical foundations of the Nile, and
which finally became to be regarded
as the genius of the river, was always
figured as having the body and in
telligence of u man and tho head of
dog. This dog god was gloritied in
all the chief cities of Egypt, and
Cynopolis-"Tho City of the Dog
was subsequently, built in order to
more grandly honor his canine and
godliko virtues.

various forms, may be distinctly traced

Romans and the enlightened (D
Greeks had Instituted sacrifices to
their canine deities, and were daily

and Nineveh the religious taste was of
tho same order, as is proved by the
many beautiful sculptures of dogs Of
all sizes that are regularly brought to
light by tho excavators among the
ruins Of the cities mentioned.
1t is related of Vulcan that he made
a brazen dog of gigantic size for
Jupiter, which could eat, run, bark,
and play; in short a dog animated by
all the functions and qualities of a
living one. Further than this, the
