The DOGS IDEA OF HIS MASTER.
He Probably Regards Him as an Abnor-
mai Member OF HIs Species.

III
NAL Member of His Species.
Our custom of ascribing human fac
ulties and modes of thought n an invol-
untary and invariable one when we are
dealing with the mental processes OF
other beings. says DR. Louis Robinson
in Popular Science Monthly. Even
when we speak of the supernatural the
same habit is manifest, and human pas
sions, emotions and weaknesses are
constantly ascribed to beings presumed
to be infinitely more remote from US IN
power and knowledge than we are from
the dog. Thus we see in the not very
distant past roasted flesh and fruits
were thought by men to be acceptable
TO the gods, doubtless because they
were pleasing to the palates of the wor-
shippers, who reasoned by analogy from
the known to the unknown This should
teach us To bear in mind that there is,
affecting the dogs point of view, al
most undoubtedly such thing as cyno-
morphism, and that he has his peculiar
and limited ideas of life and range Of
mental vision. and therefore perforce
makes his artificial surroundings square
with him 1t has been said that man
stands to his dog in the position of a
god, but when we consider that our
own conceptions of deity lead us to the
general idea of an enormously power
full and omniscient man. who loves,
hates, desires, rewards and Furnishes in
human-lilxe fashion, il involves no strain
of imagination To conceive that from
the dogs point of view his master is an
elongated and abnormally cunning dog;
of different shape and manners certain
ly TO the common run of dogs, yet
canine in his essential nature.

JAPANESE STATISTICS.
The Population OF Japan L. Rapidly In
creasing.

The Population OF Japan IL Rapidly IN
creasing.
Mr. Ono. a Japanese statistician. has
Just published some interesting figures
concerning the remarkable increase of
population in that country during the
present reign, and especially since 1872
In January, 1872, the population was
33. III 900; in December. 1889, it had in
creased To 40, ,010, 900. Since 1887 the an
nual rate of increase has been thirteen
in every 1000, SO that, if this date Is
preserved, the population Will double
itself in 5S years In England the rate
of increase is 1872 per 1000, while in
most European countries il is between
six and nine. and in France and Spain
much lower. Mr.. Ono points out that
the number of births in Japan is lower
than in most civilized countries, except
France, and that the number of illegiti-
mate children is smaller there than in
European states He therefore at
tributes the great increase of the popu-
lation To the development of wealth
since the restoration and to a decrease
in the death-rate among children
From the tables which he gives, he in
fcrs that the national wealth has
doubled in Japan in the last ten years,
population has teen greatest in the
northern and southern part of the en-
pire. and least in the central part-a
phenomenon due to migration from the
central provinces

SOME MARROW ESCAPES.
Innocence Established Under the shadow
of the GaIlows.

OF the Gallows.
Several years ago Johannes Holm. a
prominent farmer of Tama county, Ia,
disappeared, and il was thought that
he had been murdered. The county
paid out quite sum of money trying to
find his whereabouts, and there were a
large number of Hohn's neighbors in
the county who, at each session of the
grand jury, sought to get several reput-
able farmers around whom circum-
stances. had thrown suspicion indicted.
They would have been indicted but for
the arrival of Holm himself on the
scene.
Two years ago prominent lady at
Babbisombe. Eng, was murdered and
robbed, and her servant, a man named
Lee, was arrested, found guilty and
sentenced to death. He was three
times subjected to the ordeal of hang
ing, and three times the rope broke
The officers telegraphed to the home
secretary. Lees sentence was com
muted to penal servitude for life. His
innocence has since been established,
and he has been released.
Not great while ago Jim Scarlet
was on trial at Bonhaun, Tex, charged
with killing Andrew Lacefield in 1855.
At the preceding term of the district
court Scarlet was sentenced TO hang,
but owing To a technicality in render
ing the verdict he succeeded in getting
a new trial. AT the second trial, after
a good share of the evidence was in
troduced, which seemed To establish
the guilt of Scarlet, Andrew Lacefield
himself, for whose murder Scarlet was
on trial, appeared in court and was
identified by numerous witnesses.

ages. They are invaluable as school
and play costumes.

the waist and has enormous puffed
sleeves with narrow cuffs.
GIRLS street coats are braided and
finished with one or more capes, three
or four not being unusual
A DRESS of striped material is so cut
that the wearer has the appearance of
being diagonally bound up with mar
row tape. 1t is scarcely pretty and not
at all graceful
The turban is fairly fashionable. The
most approved style fits rather closely
to the head and recalls the old days

from the Earth.
No one can read a book of travel in
wild countries without having brought
forcibly before him the grave fact that
many of the most interesting forms on
this earth are on the brink of extermiua-
tion.
The bison is practically gone as
wild animal from North America. The
quagga is not now to be found in South
Africa. The harmless and interesting ant
bear appears also to be going the way
of the mammoth and the mastodon.
The London Zoo cannot get n giraffe.
The price of animals in the market
has gone up To unprecedented figures.
We carefully provide their native majes-
ties of Africa with repeating rifles to
accelerate the process of humiliation.
Travellers warn us that the dismal
slaughter proceeds with an ever accel-
Grated pace SO long as animals can be
found to be killed.
The destruction apparently must soon
result in most of the larger wild ami
mails becoming as extinct as the dodo.
