ssTalxe It Aisy."

One cannot travel in Ireland without
perceiving that the 30 many horsepower
and perpetual catching of trains theory
of life is not one that is accepted by the
Irish people, and do not think it ever
will be- Their religion, their traditions,
their chief occupations, their tempera-
ment all Of which suppose are closely
allied, are opposed to it.
The saying, "Take it aisy, and if you
can't take it aisy take it as aisy as you
can, ;" doubtless represents their theory
of life, and, for my part, if it were a
question either Of dialectics or Of NOR
ais, would sooner have to defend that
view of existence than the SO many
horsepower one. So far from wise man
getting all he can out of himself in one
direction, he will, it seems to me, rig
idly and carefully abstain from doing
so in the interests of that catholic and
harmonious development which requires
that he should get little out of him.
self in every direction.
One would not like to assert that the
bulk of the Irish people are "harmo-
niously developed" But neither, if I
may be permitted to say SO, are the
English or the Scotch people, and as
in reality all three probably err by lob
sided activity or lobsided inactivity, it
still remains to be seen whether too
much perpetual catching of trains or too
much taking it "aisy" is, on the whole,
the wiser course and the less insane in
depreciation of the purport and uses of
life. -Blackwood's Magazine.

MARKED DOGS EYES.
An Explanation Wanted of the Presenc,
Of These Tan Spots.

An Explanation Wanted of the Presence
of These Tan Spots.
Can any of your readers explain the
meaning Of the tan spots seen so COM
monty over the eyes in black and tan
dogs Of most breeds?
When in Melbourne last year, I went
carefully over all the dogs in show
with one of the stewards, and we found
the spots in all the black and tan ter
riers, foxhounds, deerhounds, collies,
iurchers, etc., but could get no infor-
nation regarding them from the ex-
perts.
In some of the highly bred toy dogs,
rs the small black and tan terriers, I
found on inquiry that these spots, for
merly so very conspicuous, were being
bred out and had nearly disappeared.
Their persistence through SO many
strongly marked varieties, except those
Of late date, is singular, for there is
fairly good proof that when first domes-
ticated the dog was red or brown, like
the pariah, dingo, etc.
AS FAR as I can see, we do not find
the spots white on "a black or dark
ground, nor yet black or dark on a
white or light ground. My explanation
is that they have arisen as permanent
marking after the dogs !sported' to
black under domestication and have
been preserved and developed through
natural selection. Possibly they are pro-
tective and simulate eyes.
One morning, just at dawn, had oc-
casion to go out into the garden, and
while STOPPING to examine some flowers,
near fence partly covered with creep
ers, suddenly saw an animals head
looking through, and what seemed to be
two seemingly large and ferocious
black eyes glared at me. Suspecting
that black leopard was about to spring
over, started back, clapped my hands
and shouted. To my relief, however,
saw tail wag and found that the spec
tator was a cooly's dog I knew very
we'll and which recognized me. The
use Of the tan spots-in this case at
least-then occurred to me.
May it not be that the spots thus
serve a protective purpose and have Of
ten saved the lives of dogs (black dogs)
from their enemies, the smaller felines,
such as the clouded leopard, ETC.? Per.
haps the matter is not new, but if it is
it seems worth looking into.

WEIGH WITH THEIR EYES.

Often Use Scales.

Expert Dealers In Live Stock Do Not
Often Use Scales.
The dealers in live stock who buy and
sell the thousands Of cattle, hogs and
sheep which are daily handled at the
Bourbon stockyards must be expert in
guessing the weight of live animal at
a glance. In conversation with we'll
known stockman few days ago he ex-
planned why this is necessary:
''It would be impossible to weigh the
cattle in many cases because Of the i'm
mense labor involved and the length of
time. it would take, while the market
price, which is subject to constant fluo-
tuations, might easily vary from its
highest to its lowest limit while we
were weighing the animals in one Of
our big scales. For instance, today,
which has been the biggest day of the
year thus far, there have been received at
the Bourbon yards over 2, 400 head of
cattle and about 5000 hogs. Suppose
we had to drive all of those upon the
scales to ascertain their weight? There
are dozens of old stock men who can in
spect herd Of animals and form an es-
innate of their average weight which
will be readily accepted by purchasers as
the basis Of trade.
''In test case which was made some
time since a man who has had life
long experience in buying and selling a
herd Of cattle, after inspecting herd
of 500 animals, guessed their average
weight within one-third of pound of
the actual figure ascertained by weigh
ing the cattle individually. The feat
was accomplished by Mr.. Ben D. Offutt
of this county and is not so extraordina-
ry as it appears, because similar in
stances of expert guessing occur here
every day. "-Louisville Courier Jour-
