Turning Tn the Trousers,

doubt not through the ages one in
creasing purpose runs, and that is why
l have always felt sure that there must
be some reason for the astrornary and
ascentric" behavior of people who turn
up the bottoms of their trousers in dry
weather. The New York exquisites who
copied the fashion from London will be
disguised at the vulgar origin of the
practice, for / understand that it had
its rise in the inventive brains of some
bank clerks, who used to go down to the
city on those bad old razor back"
buses. They found that their neither
garments got frayed by rubbing against
the woodwork under the seats until one
day one of them exclaimed, "Go to, and
let US turn up our trousers. - And they
did SO. And having turned them up it
didn't seem worth while to turn them
down again, SO the custom became crys-
tallized. If only somebody would now
inform us why we wear silk hats and
have pockets in our coattails which we
never use, we might even yet be moder-
ately happy.-London Figaro.

The Donkey Vanished.

In general we may cay that the dom
keys belong to o vanishing state of hu-
man culture, to the time before carriage
ways existed. Now that civilization
goes ON wheels they seem likely to have
an ever decreasing value. A century
ago they We're almost everywhere in
common use. At the present time there
are probably millions of people in the
United States to whom the animal is
known only by description. In a word,
the creature marks stage in the de-
velopment of our industries which is
passing away as rapidly as that in which
the spinning wheel and the hand loom
played part.-Professor n. S. Shaler

MARKED DOGS, EYES


IN Explanntion Waated - tie Rressoeo
Of These Tsn spoes.
Can any Of your readers explain the
meaning Of the tan spots seen 90 COM
monty over the eyes in black and tan
dogs of most breedsl
When in Melbourne last year, 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,
lurchers, etc, but I could get no infor-
nation regarding them from the ex-
perts.
In some of the highly bred toy dogs,
IS 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 / can see, we do not find
the spots white ON q black or dark
ground, nor yet black or dark on a
white or light ground. My explanation
is that they have arisen as a 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, l 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, I 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
well and which recognized me. The
use of the tan spots-in this case al
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 j:
it seems worth looking into.
I have several dogs about here now
with black bodies and heads. The tar
spots, rather pale, are of the size of 8
shilling I have shot one, keeping the
skin of the head as curiosity.-S. E

Hons. Clifton r. Breckinridge OF
Kentucky, and Jason B. Brown OF
Indiana, two of the leading Demo
Gratis in Congress-, have failed to be
nominated by their party. The
Courier Journa4 says that tariff re-
form did it, and The atlanta Con-

these two distinguished Democrats
to their stand or the silver question.
1t is evident that the people wznt a

will be the loosers.

As a rule the man who counts the
negro out, will count out the white
man if 1t is necessary to elect his
friend. Some law should be passed
to purify the ballot, nothing is more
needed in this State. The man who
steals an election from the negroes
ostensibly to maintain ''white supre-
macy" will steal an election from
white Democrats to keep himself
or his friend in office. We have
seen examples of it and know
whereof we speak. AS long as it is
Sambo who is counted out, it work S
like a charm, but when it is white
against white, it is dangerous prac-
tice and a very risky business.

The Rice Crop.

crop Of this year in Louisiana.
Louisiana:-Witht the exception Of = few
tightly favored localities, conditions have
been most contrary and the outlook tor crop
MT nearly 80 promising as last month.
With little Or NO rain in Southwest Louisiana.
until the present week, the ground has been
sun-baked, 50 hard that pillow could not be
driven through it and suspension of planting
enforced. The absence of moisture has
been most serious, no inconsiderable per
cent Of the earlier planting, especially
among ''Providence crops, killed out
right; reserves of water laid by for later
periods heavily drawn upon and in many an
Coasts have also suffered severely Tor want
of rain, although rot nearly so much IS in
lying parishes. The river is SO low that
syphons fail and pumping is resorted to:
Even the latter in many instances IS only OF
service within two or three acres of the bank,
that more remote, threatened with extlnc-
ton. There will be more planting along
the Upper and Lower Coast. Rains in the
current week are encouraging; planting
has been generally. resumed and will extend
over into coming month. While prospects
are more favorable, unless there be marvel
lous work done in Calcasieu and other
Southwestern parishes the total acreage is
likely to be less than for several years PAST
The good, ground exceptionally free of
grass and methods of culture improved. 1t
has been clearly demonstrated that thorough
cultivation and judicious use of fertilizers
are of benefit, insuring success under condi-
tons which would ordinarily destroy the
crop. -.
