"Our country II right, should be kept

right" is a political maxim which par
APPRAISED applies to other conditions Of
life; thus: our health. II right, should
be kept right; II wrong, should be put
right, especially in bodily ailments,
such as pains and aches, which St
Jacobs Oil promptly cures. Many out
of work should heed to give 1t a chance
to cure and 1t will give them a chance

When in Melbourne last year I went

says writer in Nature.
In some of the highly-bred toy doeA
as the small black-and-tan terriers, l
found on inquiry that these spots, for
merly so very conspicuous. were being
bred out and had nearly disappeared.
Their persistence through 80 many
stronRly-marked varieties, except
those Of late date, is singular. for
there is fairly good proof that when
first domesticated the dog was red, or
bright brown, like the pariah, dingo.
etc.
As far as can see We do not find
tho spots white on a black or dark
ground; nor yet black or dark on .
white or light ground. My explana-
ton is that they have arisen as .
permanent marking after the dogs
s.sported" to black under domestica-
ton, and have been preserved and do
veloped through natural selection.
Possibly they are protective and
simulate eyes.

that black leopard was about to

however. saw a tail wag, and found
that the spectator was a coolies dog l

me. The use OF the tan spots-in

me. May it not be that the spots
thus serve a protective purpose and
