Injuries the different newspapers that manly
stand by their regular advertising rates.
These latter papers propose to treat the

alike.

THE ADVANCE OF CIVILIZATION.

THE ADVANCE OF CIVILIZATION.
The quick manner in which the
Texas legislature in Special session
last week sat down on the Corbett-
Fitzsimmons prize fight scheduled to
occur in that State shows that the age
of barbarism is rapidly giving away
to the age of civilization.
Ten years ago we doubt whether
such a law could have been enacted
at all.
Two weeks ago Gov. Culbertson of
Texas summoned the legislature in
special session for the sole purpose of
passing law that would prevent the
smuggling, match occurring in that
State. Since that time and prior to the
converting of the legislature the rum
ors were being circulated that Texas
legislature would not enact any such
law as the Governor wanted, and that
the Populist members, being strongly
opposed to the Governor, would vote
against him out of pure spite.
Yet when the legislature convened
on Wednesday of last week the
measures were introduced into both
houses. They We're referred to a
special joint committee aud recon-
mended.to pass. They were reported
back to the two houses and the senate
passed the bill Immediately with but
one dissenting vote. The measure
was hurried into the house, where il
was substituted for the house measure
and after few hours of argument
pro and con the measure passed with
but three or four dissenting votes. Il
was Immediately engrossed and sent
to the Governor and as quickly signed
The legislature then adjournd.
i It was remarkable occurrence fol
Texas. Probably here in the NORTH
that State was the last State expected
to have such legislature. But it il
there and it vii. be there for all time
to come. It is in the other States o.
the Union and it will ba in them fol
) all time to come. The age Of brutal
ity and barbsrism has past and thu
age of advanced civilization is here
II will continue advancing and thanks
to the education by our public schoo
system, both moral and otherwise, i
will never be checked in its onward
course.

DOG SHEARING.
II Is One of the Institutions of the Fsstidi.

Ie Is One of the Institutions of the Fsstidi.
Gus Partisan World.
One OF the recognized professions Of
Paris is that of the dog-shearer There
are, in this interesting occupation, two
grades or ranks. The visitor in Paris
Will often hear, as he goes through the
streets, the cry of ''Tond les chiens!' or
as we should put it, dogs to shear"
1t comes from wandering shearers and
surgeons of dogs and performers of
various small offices for domestic ami
mails But these are the lower stratum
of the dog-shearing profession. Often
they unite dog-stealing with their
shearing. No person of discrimination
patronizes them, but goes with his dog
to one of the recognized dog trimming
and bathing esta blishments, which are
located on Scows moored in the Seine
at one or another of the great bridges.
Here one may have his dog bathed with
consideration for it's delicate health,
and sheared in one of the several favor
lite styles each of which has its
name.
The commonest fashion of shearing
dogs is en- lion, or in the lion stvle
This is almost a uniform style of dress
in the summer for poodles, which
abound in Paris. The shaggy coat is
trimmed so that the front part of the
animal remains clothed, and the back
part is shaved. The dogs who belong
to the "better classes are brought in
to be shaved quite frequently, for the
lion style is not regarded as looking
we'll on poodles unless the skin shows
pink through the closely-cropped coat.
AS every shearing costs from seventy
five cents to a dollar and a quarter az
cording to the difficulty of the opera
ton, dogs belonging to poor or econom-
zeal people often have to content them
selves with a cut en- culotte, in which
the body is only partially sheared and
the legs are left with their natural COW
ering. This method does not involve
such frequent renewal
Another style, much affected by per-
sons of fantastic and humorous tastes,
is known as the macaron style. 1t con-
sists in leaving spots and patches of
hair here and there-rings about the
legs and tall and so forth. It is an in
dignity to a respectable dog to shear
him in this way. 1t often makes him
unhappy, 1OI UuCTc Is uO QOuDC U0dC
most intelligent dogs are sensitive to
ridicule.
Another fashion, which is probably
in still worse taste than the macaron,
is known as the initial style" 1t con-
sists in leaving the hair, or of removing
1t in such a way that the initials of the
owner appear on the dogs sides or back.
This method expresses the vanity of
the owner and nothing more, for it
gives no pleasure and adds no beauty
to the dog.
1t takes two persons to shear dog
the shearer and man to hold the dog.
Occasionally dog fights his shearers
viciously. but so great is the skill and
patience of these operators that they
are seldom bitten.-Youth's Communion.

oucHIrn az THAMKrIli

The Cresset of last week in dilating
on 1.-The principal troubles at the pres
ent time" says that the talk about
the rich growing richer and the poor
! poorer, the poor being robbed to fur.
Their enrich the rich, is an halucination
and that the broodIng over it creates IA
disease. No It's not the ''brooding'
that causes the disease; it's the effecs
of the alarming conditions of govern
ment and Jciety made by pernicious
| legislation. that has spread the germs
of this disease" and the big half of our
population is diretully afflicted. We
have not learned the scientific name Of
the disease but suffice it to say that it
causes distressing sensation IN the
abdomen, 1t makes men lean and giant
and weak, it deprives them of clothing
aud fuel and sends thousands of them
to the potter's field annually-aIl be
cause our public servants have said
it shall be thus.
After expounding on the virtues of
the banker and the monied man in
general, Lutte gets off the following
little joke:
Instead of broodiRe iN - m

A SENSIBLE ELEPHANT.
e Soon Detected That the Punp Trcusl
Was Not Level.

Was Not Level.
In India domesticated elephants are
usually given drink from large wooden
troughs filed with well water by
means of a pump, and it is commonly
an elephant that fills this trough.
Every morning he goes regularly to
his task. While visiting a friend at
his fine residence in India a correspon-
dent of the Manchester Examiner saw
large elephant engaged in pumping
such trough full of water. He con-
tinues:
''In passing noticed that one of the
two tree trunks which supported the
trough at either end had rolled from
its place. SO the trough, still elevated
at one extremity, would begin to emp
ty itself as soon as the water reached
the level of the top at the other end,
which lay on the ground l stopped
to see if the elephant would discover
anything wrong. Soon the water be-
gan to run off at the end which had
lost its support. The animal showed
signs of perplexity when he saw this,
but as the end nearest him lacked
much of being full he continued to
pump. Finally, seeing that the water
continued to pass off, he left the pump
handle and began to consider the phe-
nomenon. He seemed to find it diff
cult to explain. Three times he re-
turned to his pumping and three
times he examined the trough.

thought for moment that he was 60
ing to put it in its place again. But it
was not, as / soon understood, the end
which ran over that disturbed his
mind, but the end which he found i'm
possible to fill. Raising the trough,
which he then allowed to rest for an
instant on one of his huge feet, he
rolled away the second supporting log
with his trunk and then set the
trough down SO that it rested at both
ends on the ground. He returned to
the pump and completed his task

THE NAME LOUIS,
It Was Originally More English Tn


Il Was Originally More English Than
French.
Louis is name which sounds to most
OF us at the present day peculiarly
French and certainly very un-English.
Yet there were Louis or their equiva-
Tents among the continental English in
their home by the mouth of the Elbe
long before there were any bearers of
that famor, title in the land that is
now called France after it's English
conquerors. The first half of the word
is hlod famous or renowned" and
the second half is our old friend wig,
''war," as in Eadwig (Edwy) and Oswig
(Oswy) Hlodwig is thus equivalent to
famous war" or perhaps more truly
TO famous warrior or 'war-famed,"
and its Latinized form, ''Ludovicus,"
still Keeps pretty close to the memory
of its original shape. Now these hlod
names, as it happens were great favor
ties with the Franklish royal family,
just as Aethels were in Wessex and Os's
in Northumbria. But the Roman prov
metals found the initial ''h'' terrible
stumbling block to their hsping lips
(as vulgar Englishmen still find the
same in Welsh III and generally Lat
inized it by the easier ''ch." So
the first Hlodwig who went into Gaul
as an important conqueror bears
in low Latin the name of
Chlodio, while his more famous grand
son is known to us all in the disguised
and Frenchifed form of Clovis. Clovis
wife was Burgundian Hlodhild, now
half-disguised for us in the truly Gal
lie garb of Clotilde, though contem-
porary Latin chroniclers knew her
rather as Chlodechilda pronounce the
Sch hard in every case as gutturaD.
In later days Hlodwig, Clovis or Hlud-
Wis got gradually softened into Loudvis
and Louis, though Lluduicus is the in
termediate Latinized shape in which
the name was officially borne by the
person we know as Louis lie Debon-
naire. Since seventeen Louis sat on
the throne of France mot counting

one of them was also saint, the name
became naturally the most popular In
France. Thence il spread to Italy, for
the most part as Luigi, though more
truly local and national form, Lodo-
vico, introduced by the Lombards, held
its ground in Lombardy, where it has
been made familiar to us all by the
famous name of Ludovico Sforza. In
