The Etiquette Of DOGS.

We have been told that the curious
ceremony a dog goes through of turn
ing round two or three times before ly-
ing down, as il trying to catch his own
tail, is probably a survival of the
habits of it's remote ancestor the wolf,
who was accustomed to make his nest
in the long grass; but who will ex-
pound to us the meaning of the ETH
quette which hedges round subjects Of
so vital an importance in the canine
mind as buried bones and kennels?
Who will explain the peculiar prestige
which attaches to one dog in a certain
set, for which apparently he never
fights, nay, which he would be unable
to maintain by force?
On a priori reasoning one would have
imagined that cutting" was a method
of dealing with anaundesirable acquain-
lance, only adapted to very elaboTat-
ed system of civilized etiquette; but
let any one who considers himself an
adept in the use Of the knife watch

deavors, and an essay to assist her in
her work. By the intervention of cas-
| ket or coffin and the construction OF
elaborate tombs and vaults, the opera
lions of nature are retarded and the
evils of direct burial are intensified
We may, therefore, by placing mummi-
fication and inhumation together, make
a duplex division of our subject, and
say that we are presented with the al
tentative of obstructing or of assisting
nature. We are offered the choice of a
purifying or q purifying process-of
disposing Of our dead so that the living
| shall be injured or In such manner
that no harm may result from the oper-
alton.
The evils of inhumation, or burial in
the earth, have been dilated upon so
frequently that it would seem almost
superfluous to say more about them,
were it not for the fact that feelings
of such strength and responsibility are
aroused when change is proposed, and
that education ever consists of repeti-
tion. Chemists and physicians of all
schools and clirnss admit, believe, that
the mephitic calculations from decom-
posing animal tissues are poisonous.
They are fatal in their effects when en-
tering, in a condensed form, into the
human system; and, however they may
be weakened by diffusion, they inevita-
bly, lower the vitality of those who
breathe them. Records exist of several
instances Of almost instant death result
ing from the opening of graves and the
removal of the bodies The evidence is
voluminous of reduced ability to con-
tend with disease on the part of those
who live in the neighborhood of grave
yards, even where the use Of these re-
positories has been discontinued for
years and all bodies therein placed have
been long since removed, 1t Is not sur
prising, therefore, that the public mind
has become agltated concerning the del
eterious effects of crowding the earth
with slowly decomposing human corDses
and that the cry has arisen for. some
other means Of resolving these remains
into their elemental components.
The earnest attention which has been
bestowed upon the subject has resulted
I'M the decision, on the part of many |
thinkers, that the general welfare will |
be promoted by the substitution of Gre

Many objections to the suggested |

appear to have been answered so sat

said to have gained a victory. There
yet remains, however, on the part of
man. very strong prejudice against
the practice of cremation. This feeling
is of such character as to entitle IT to |
the utmost respect and consideration, |
and it is so deeply rooted that naught |
but familiarity with the process, per-

However views may differ upon the
proper manner of dlsposing of the re-
mains of our departed fellow-creatures
the Importance Of the subject will be
admitted by all who have bestowed up
on it moments contemplation It
forms a serious factor in the problem of
health, and in the solution of this prob
lem every one living has critical in
terest. The sanitary conservation of a
community demands the early removal
and disposal of its dead, but the method
by which this is effectuated Is scarcely
less important than the existence of the
fact itself. The law Of nature ordains
that our bodies shall return to their
constituent particles so soon as they
shall have become incapable Of perform
ing the functions Of life. Many have
BEEN the contrivances by which the ac-
complishment Of this disintegration has
been sought. But however these may
vary, the result is in every instance the
same. That dust shall return to dust
is inevitable. In no way can we prevent
the fulflllment of the decree. We may
obstruct or we may assist; we may
shorten or we may lengthen the time
of the operation. That is all. But in
this lies the whole distinction that ex-
lists between danger and security to
those who survive. Every second con-
sumed beyond the shortest time neces-
sary to the proper and decent encom-
basement of the desired end constitutes
an element Of danger to the health Of
those who live after us.
Notwithstanding this, it is notewor-
thy that among the many different
ways which have been contrived for
the disposition Of the dead, none, until
has had amy definite consider
alton for the effect produced upon the
living. When any special method has
been devised 1t has been almost invaria- |
bly, with the idea of honoring the mem
ories of those from whom benefits were |
believed to have been derived, or of de- |
grading those whose lives We're consid- |
cred to have been sources of INJURY to |
their contemporaries. Most of these |
methods pertain to savage tribes and |
need not be considered now The three |
methods in vogue among civilized ma
lions are those of embalming, inhuma- |
ton and incarceration. These may be |

The sleuth Had to Think Twice, But He
Hit it at Last.
When Hiram Noodlehead went to
sleep on the night of March 10 he had
twenty dollars worth of gold i'm his
teeth. When he awoke on the follow
ing morning, which was Monday, there
was no gold in his teeth. It was the
most peculiar robbery on record. Mr..
Noodlehead occupied a room in lead
ing Lincoln hotel, and before retiring
had boiled the door securely and had
seen that the window and transom were
fastened. In the morning everything
was apparently as he had left it, but
the gold was gone from his teeth, and
there were aching voids where it had
been.
Mr.. Nocdlehead didn't worry so much
over the loss of the gold, but he is a
man who detests mysteries, and he
knew that he could not sleep until he
knew who had robbed him and how he
had been robbed. Consequently he sent
for Old Swayback, the great Lincoln
detective, who happened to be with me
when he was telephoned for. Together
we went to Mr.. Noodleheads room,
where the circumstances were ex-
planned to us. Old Swayback examined
the room carefully, and I saw by the
knitting of his brows that he was puz-

was fashionable last year and gave to
the possessor the distinction of having
had an outing of considerable length,
but this year the tide turns the other
way and even the hands are to be pro-
tected from the eager sun.
Rather than to assert her being in
advance Of fashions progress by going
about day times with the throat barred,
it is wiser to go in strong on blouse eff
fects. Once get something novel in
this line, and the rest of the dress may
be entirely conventional, yet its new
ness and correctness be clearly proved.
A model is presented here that stamps
the dress of which it is part as ster-
ling, and which is very dressy as well.
Summer weight cheviot Is the main
fabric, but sleeves and centre boxpleat
are of silk, the latter ornamented with
cut steel buttons. The silk girdle also
has four buttons, which is not usual.
The remainder of the front as well as
the 1880 sleeve caps are laid in side
pleats, but the back Is left plain. Rib
bon garniture Is placed at the joining
of sleeves and their caps, and the skirt
is entirely plain.
Current styles in shoes show inn
provement is respect to size and shape,
and it is suggested that the bicycle and
other outdoor sports are responsible for
the good work, but the fact remains
that the amount Of money woman
can spend on her footgear is terrifying
because the number of changes deemed
necessary by exquisites Ia bewildering.
The sort of bicycle shoe that seems to
guide the styles for other footwear Is
low one, cut lower than the arch of the
instep, that the lift and action Of the
foot may not be interfered with. This
affair is not pretty to look at, but hard

over it. For ordinary wear It's unhand-

nent, though there is little OF dainti-
ness about the result. FLORETTE.

"That destroys one theory; thought
perhaps you had got up in your sleep
and removed the gold from your teeth

while you slept; that I'd swear to.

The great detective uttered this ex-
clamation as his eyes fell upon medi-
cine bottle upon the washstand. He
seized the bottle eagerly, applied it to
his nostrils, and smiled in a way that
told US the mystery was solved.

Old Swayback poured few drops of

detective, will dissolve any mineral

among well-bred and self-respecting
dogs Should an interloper whom he
chooses to consider undesirable be
thrust upon the society of a dignifled
dog by a master who has no nice feel
ing for canine distinctions, instead of
marking his disapprobation by snaps
and snarls, after the manner of the low
er ranks, ne will simply ignore alto
gether the presence of the intruder. No
oyertures to play by the newcomer him
self will meet with the faintest res
ponse; no commands from his master
to make friends win be even compre-
hended. for him, at all events, the in
truder is non-existent
1t is curious that whereas a highly
educated dog will enter into many of
our conventions with zest, we, for our
part, are unable to understand, much
less to sympathize with the canine
forms of etiquette. A dog readily
learns to attach much Importance to
clothes, for instance, and will greet the
beggar in a manner quite different from
that accorded to the well dressed visi-
tor. He knows, too, that a grave and
solemn demeanor is decorous at pray
ers, and seems more shocked than any
one else at the ipdiscreet gambols of
the puppy But he would be bold
man who would undertake to train a
puppy deficient in a sense of canine
propriety into the niceties of behavior
expected of him by his fellow dogs at
critical junctures. 1t is clear that
our difficulties are only increased, as,
following the historic method, we re-
move our inquiry into etiquette from
civilization to savagedom, from savage |
dom to the lower animals. We must |
wait for our philosopher to dispel the |

Alderman James Fl. Macdonald was
last evening unanimously reelected
chairman Of the Republican town COM
mittee of New Haven. This action
was both a we'll merited compliment
and an exhibition of what has been
called enlightened selfishness. 1t was
well merited compliment because
Chairman Macdonald has richly earned
whatever honor his party can bestow
upon him, and it was enlightened sell
ffshness because it gives the party the
continued benefit of his political shrewd-
ness, his devotion to good Republican,
ism and his untiring industry in behalf
Of it. The Republican party in New
Haven has never been more efficiently
led than by Chairman Macdonald, and
it has never been more honestly and
unselfshly led. He has the full conf
dence and the hearty support of all the
workers, and he can inspire them with
the enthusiasm which fills him. He is
not a trickster, nor a lobbyist, nor a
self-seeker. The Republicans Of New
Haven are fortunate in having him as
their leader, and when the Republicans
Of the State are looking around with
lanterns for a chairman of the State
committee they cannot do better than
to stop when they come to him and
call their search ended. He has the
ability, the skill, the industry and the
integrity to fill high places.

Cow stories are occasionally as inn

Rose Bank, S. l., has curious and valu-
able Attorney COW. She Is very large
and has hollow on her back which
will hold over gallon of water, and
the COW always stands in the rain until
the hollow is filled. 1t is then absorbed
through the pores and she gives that
much additional milk, but, oddly enough,
this curious phenomenon does not take
place If ordinary water is poured into
the hollow spot Mr. Wifi states that
the process is even more strange if
there happens to be a rainbow during
the shower as in that case the cream
that rises on the milk takes on all the
beautiful colors of fnother-of-pearl.
