MUTlLATlON OF DOGS.
Ear and Tail Cropping and the Operation
known as "Worming."

Ear and Tail Cropping and the Operation
Known as "Worming."
The fashionable mutilations to which
the dog has been subjected are three in
number-ear and tail cropping, and the
strange operation known as worm
ing" Though the law prohibits the
performance of the operations which
lead to these mutilations, yet at least
two of them are still carried out surrep-
titiously, and the third, "worming,"
may also be practioed. At any rate I
have seen it done in my young days. 1t
and the tail cropping can boast of a
venerable antiquity, and they also had
their raison d'etre in superstitious be-
lief in their efficacy in preventing mad
ness or rabies. So long as the time Of
Columella, the Roman writer on agri-
culture, the mutilation of the dogs tail
was popular and favorite procedure
AS he tells us in his ode Re Rustica"
that the shepherds believe that if, on
the fortieth day after the birth of a pup,
the last bone of its tail were bitten off,
the sinew (believed to be worm) would
follow the piece, after this the tail
would not grow and the dog could not
become rabid.
This superstitious notion has prevailed
for ages, and may still be entertained
in certain quarters. However this may
be, the fashion of removing portion of
the tail of many breeds of dogs is quite
common, and if it is done with view
to the prevention of madness, it is at
any rate considered most desirable for
these animals to have short, blunt tail,
because it improves their appearance.
Some dogs have scarcely any tail left.
l have seen grooms and dog fanciers bite
off puppies tails as matter of bust
ness, and some of these people have
shown me fragment of sinew attached
to the amputated portion as the worm
in the tail
Itshould be noted, in speaking of this
fashion, that mongrel dog has been
termed "cur" Latin curtus, or crop
tailed,) because it usually had the tail
shortened, and according to ancient for
est laws, man who had no right to the
privilege of the chase was obliged to
cut off the tail of his dog, on the plea
that, if dog has no tail to act as q
rudder, he cannot hunt game.

swordsmanship Against a Tiger.

Sir James Outram, known as the Bay
ard of India, was mighty hunter"
and an accomplished swordsman. He
once performed the hazardous feat Of
killing tiger with his sword and from
the back of his horse. General Nichol-
son performed similar feat.
He rode round and round the tiger at
a gallop, gradually narrowing the circle,
until at last he was near enough to de-
liver his blow. He had only the one
blow, and if he had failed to kill the
tiger he himself would have been slain.
The explanation of the feat is that
the tiger does not spring upon the horse
man during the circling process, because
ne is watching his opportunity. AS the
circle draw closer and closer upon him,
he becomes bewildered by the strange
maneuver, so unlike that of any hunter
he has ever encountered. - Youth 3

DON'T TUB TOO MUCH.
Professor Cheeky Advances the idea That
It Is Injurious,

Professor Cheeky Advances the idea That
It Is Injurious.
Bathing and the use of soap" says
Professor Cheeky, ''is 40 per cent more
injurious to the human race than any
other form Of stimulation to which peo-
pie are addicted. If I should battle a
man in proportion as much as he drank,
I'd kill him in one-half the time. This
is called the age of hurry and feverish
excitement; critics complain that people
are unwilling to take time for any
thing. As matter Of fact, hours Of
precious time are worse than wasted
daily in the bathroom. If men would
preserve their health, there are three
things they must do-first, leave soap
alone; second, get the skin loose from
the tissues of the body; third, get rid of
the idea that regularity in the matter Of
sleep and meals is necessary to physical
we'll being
"What are the objections to the use
of soap?" asked reporter to whom the
professors original views were a reve-
lation.
There are vital objections, twas the
reply. "The skin, it is acknowledged,
bears most important relation to the
body. First, it acts as a protective
agent, covering the sensitive tissues of
the flesh. Second, it acts as the agent
Of the mind, conveying all sensations
Of heat, cold, friction and the like.
Third, it directly aids all the other or
gans of the body, taking up the work Of
each in turn when for any reason they
become unable to perform their func-
tions. The skin assists all the organs Of
secretion and excretion in the entire
system, and for that reason great atten-
ton should be paid to keeping it in a
healthy condition. Although realizing
its important functions, people, instead
of protecting this wonderful covering
of theirs, try by every means in their
power to destroy it. Soap does not
cleanse the skin. When the skin is dirty,
it is unhealthy, and the organs within
the body can never be oleansed by all
the soaps in the world. The only stains,
blots, etc., Oh the surface of the skin
that people need to get rid of cannot
be removed by soap Some other chem
ical ointment or fluid has to be resorted
to to obliterate them. AS far as regards
the dust and dirt which naturally ad-
here to the body, dust and dirt, being
earthly and material, are much better
brushed off than washed of, and soap
does not aid in the process. "-Philadel-
phia Press.
