WHY DOGS BARK.
A Writer Affords an Explanation as Given
to Him by an Indian.

Writer Affords an Explanation as Given
to Him by an Indian.
In writing of the native dogs of Gen.
trail America, Frederick Boyle brings
forward theory as to how dogs form
the habit of barking. He was discussing
with an old resident of the, country
some traits of the coyote, as the ma
tive wolf is called, but which more near
ly resembles the dog.
Dogs will never go wild SO long as
they can find master to serve, and
more especially trained dogs. The coyote
never barks, and only gallops when pur-
sued.
"Why don't these coyotes bark like
other dogs?" asked an old Indian,
pointing to one was trying to reclaim.
"And why do they only howl and the
pups grunt?''
His answer was, "He won't learn"
"Not 1earn?" said L "What do you
mean?''
'No," he replied, mot learn, for if
he were of an honest breed he would
bark, to try to initiate his master, or,
at all events, the other dogs, but all
barking proceeds from dogs initiating
their masters shout The master shouts
to drive in cattle to the corral, and the
dog barks also. In fact, the dog initiates
his master when he barks; he tries to
speak, but cannot.
give this curious observation as the
only attempt ever heard to account for
the barking of our tame dogs. No wild
breeds make any noise except. bowling
and snarling, nor, under the best cir
cumstances, will they learn to bark un-
til the third or fourth generation.

A clever Way to Get . Dinner.


happened to be one Of party of six
dining the other night at an up town
restaurant. Most Of us were strangers to
each other, having met only in the aft
ernoon in the course of business. There
were a banker, politician, lawyer, a
theatrical manager and something else,
I do not yet know what, in the company.
The something else made himself ex-
ceedingly agreeable. He was, in fact,
the life Of the party. He was politeness
itself, and his wit and epigrams were
fetching. After dinner he rather sud-
denly and mysteriously dropped out of
sight and was missed.
"Who was the gentleman?" I asked
of the theatrical manager
''I'm sure don't know" he replied
] thought he was friend of yours. !"
s'No, never saw him before I sup
posed he was friend Of yours, I said
Then put the same question to each of
the others and found that the man was
unknown to any of the party. He had
simply invited himself to dine with us,
behaved Like a jolly good fellow and
disappeared at the right moment. The
only thing we have against him is that
he forgot to pay his bill-New York

WONDERFUL GOLD IT,
How It Il Manufactured and Some Of Its
Peculiarities.

How It Il Manufactured and Some Of Its-
Peculiaritfes.
The process by which gold is made
into thin leaves is called gold beating
As yet the use of machinery for this
purpose is very limited, nearly all gold
leaf being beaten by hand.
First the gold is cast into oblong in
gots about three-fourths Of an inch in
width and weighing two ounces each
These ingots are passed between pol
khed steel rollers and fattened out into
ribbons of about an eight Of
an inch in thickness. The ribbons are
softened by heat and crt into pieces an
inch square.
One hundred and fifty Of these pieces
are placed between vellum leaves, one
piece above another, and the entire pile
is inclosed in double parchment case
and beaten with 16 pound hammer
until the inch pieces are extended to 4
inch squares. They are then taken from
the case, and each square is cut into
four pieces. The pieces thus obtained
are then placed between gold beater's
skin-a delicate membrane prepared
from the large intestine of the ox-made
into piles, inclosed in a parchment case
and again beaten, but with hammer of
lighter weight.
Still the leaves are not thin enough,
and once more each leaf is cut into four
pieces and again beaten. This last quar-
tering and beating produces 2, 400 leaves,
and the thickness of each leaf is about
one two-hundred- -thousandths Of an inch.
Gold is so malleable that it is possible
to obtain still greater degree of thin
ness, but not proftably.
These thin leaves are taken up with
wood pinchers, placed on a cushion,
blown out flat and carefully cut into
squares 81 inches in size. The squares
are placed between the leaves Of paper
books, which have previously been rub
bed with red chalk to prevent adhesions
of the gold, each paper book containing
s5 squares or leaves Of gold, and in this
form the leaf is sold, not by weight, but
by superficial measure. -Philadel lphia

Glass Houses.

There were whole streets in Tyre en-
tirely occupied by glass works, and it is
stated that the first glass houses were
erected in Tyre. The glass houses of
Alexandria were highly celebrated for
the ingenuity and skill Of their work
men and the extent Of their manufac-
lures.
Layard, in writing about his discov-
cries among the ruins Of Nineveh and
Babylon, says: "In one chamber were
found two entire glass bowls, with frag-
ments of others. These bowls are prob
ably of the same period as the small
bottle found in the ruins Of the north
west palace during the previous excava-
tions, and now in the British museum.
On this highly interesting relic is the
name Of Sargon, with his title Of king
of Assyria, in cuneiform characters, and
the figure of a lion. We are, therefore,
able to fix its date to the latter part of
the seventh century B. G. Tt is conse-
quently the most ancient known speci-

Shakespeare's Name.

1t has often been puzzle to students
of Shakespeare why his name is spelled
in SO MANY different ways Shakespeare
himself is said to have signed his name
ON d fferent occasions shakespeare and
"Shakespere, and learned disquisitions
have been written to prove which is the
proper spelling. None perhaps was more
amusing than the weather" reason
given in 1851 by Albert Smith, who
averred that he had found it in the Har-
eian MSS. 1t was as follows:
How dyd Shakespeare spell hys namef
Ye weatherre maybe We change, we saye,
So write it as ye please;
When ye some shone he maybe hys A,
When wette he took hys E'es.

D6LUTEIx PURE
A BREACH.

Alasi That Human Nature Should he So
Weak.
A South Side young man who some
times writes verses had friend who
often paints pictures.
Each of them, in addition to having
q young wife and very young baby,
was satisfied that his particular branch
of art was the most successful medium
for the expression of the finer feelings.
The two families lived in neighbor-
ing fats and were always very friendly.
The wives chatted together about the
best brand of baby food, and the chill
dren rolled about on the floor and claw
ed each others noses-the highest evil
dence of mutual esteem.
As rule, the two young men didn' t
discuss art when they met, for they
knew that they couldn't agree on the
subject. So they argued on the silver
question-for neither Of them knew
anything about it.
One evening the young man who
sometimes writes poetry called with his
wife and baby on the young man who
often paints pictures.
'I'm writing some verses about my
baby" said the first young man.
"Well, I'm painting a picture Of
mine," said the second.
"I'n tell you what I'll do, said the
poetry man. ''I'n write poem about
your baby if you'll paint picture Of
mine"
/, "Agreed, responded the artist readi-
ly. "I'n do it. )"
Then the families were together more
than ever, and the mothers compared
their babies minutely as to markings,
disposition, prospects and other things.
At last the young man who sometimes
writes poetry finished his verses, and
the young man who often paints pic
lures finished his portrait. So far every
thing had been kept friendly secret.
The two families gathered one even
ing to hear the poetry and view the pic
ture. First each father showed what he
had done for his baby, and the whole
company went into ecstasies.
''Best thing you ever did, =" said the
poetry young man.
"Best thing you ever did," said the
artist.
Then they drew long breaths, and the
poetry young man read his poem about
his friends baby, and the artist showed
his picture of his friends baby.
There was silence.
"You didn't catch the delicate sug-
gestion of intellectually in my baby"
said the wife of the poetry young man.
"And you failed entirely to do JUS
tice to my baby" said the wife of the
artist. "You can't see anything but
your own baby"
And then there were other words Of
similar character, only more emphatic.
Presently the wife of the poetry
young man gathered up her baby and
went home, followed by her husband.
Since that time the two families do
not know each other.-Chicago Record.

SPOONlNG PARTIES.
How These Commendab1e Aids to Matri-
mony Should Be Conducted.

How These Commendab1e Aids to Matri-
mony Should Be Conducted.
"Spooning" parties are popular in
some quarters. They take their name
from a good old English word which
was intended to ridicule the alleged fan
tastic actions Of a young man or a young
woman who is in love. For some reason,
which no one ever could explain, every
body pokes fun at the lover. In fact,
that unhappy character is never heroic
in real life, no matter what great gobs
of heroism are piled about him on the
stage, and in all the romantic story
books The girl in love and the boy in
love are said to be "spoony."
When ''spooning" party is given,
the committee in charge Of the event re-
ceives spoon from each person who at
tends, or else presents each guest with a
spoon These spoons are fancifully
dressed in male and female attire, and
are mated either by the similarity of
costume or by distinguishing ribbon.
The girls and boys whose spoons are
mates are expected to take care of each
other during the continuance of the So
cial gathering.
Of course the distribution Of the spoons
is made with the greatest possible care
fitness, the aim being to SO place them
as to properly fit the case of the young
people to whom they are presented. The
parties are usually given by the young
people of some neighborhood where the
personal preference of each spoony is
well known, and they are the source of
no end of fun. It is possible also that
they serve as aids to matrimony as we'll,
and are therefore commendable, since
an avowal is made more easy to diff
dent swain after he feels that his pas
sion is not secret, but that his weak
ness for ''spoony" maiden is known to
his friends and enemies on the commit
tee which dispenses the spoons. It may
be mentioned that after the spoons have
been distributed among the guests, each
couple retires for consultation regarding
the reasons which caused the award of
mated spoons in their case. This consul
tation is known by the name of spoon
ing st. Louis Republic.

through her efforts the British Woman g
Temperance union was organized, had
not been forgotten, and the reception ac-
corded her when she spoke at the City
Temple amounted to an ovation.
Mrs. Stewart is native of Ohio and
was born at Piketon April 25, 1916.
She was left an orphan at 10 and thrown
npon her own resources. Early she de-
veloped those sterling characteristics
which made her so useful in educational
and reform work. She was educated at
Marietta seminary and adopted teaching
as a profession, attaining a representa-
tive standing among the educators of
the state.
She has been twice married, the Sec
ond time to Hiram Stewart, who was a
stanch advocate Of the temperance
principles she advocated and greatly as
sisted her in the work. She had no chill
dren of her own, but took to her moth
erly heart the two sons Of her second
husband, conscientiously devoting her.
self to their education and moral devel-
opment. The husband and sons went to
the front when the war came, and later,
impelled by strong sense of duty, she
also went to the scene of action and ten
der1y cared for the sick and wounded
soldiers. 1t was these loving ministra-
tions that earned for her the title of
Mother Stewart, by which she always
loves to be called.
In 1879 Mrs. Stewart made a stirring
address before the first mass meeting in
Springfield, O., inaugurating the tenn
perance crusade, the influence Of which
has become felt throughout the length
and breadth Of the land About that
time several suits were successfully
brought against liquor sellers by the
wives Of drunkards under the Adair
civil damage law, and in number of
these cases Mrs. Stewart assisted the
prosecuting attorney, making vigorous
and effective appeals to the juries.
Mother Stewards effective work in
her own locality soon attracted wide at
