LANGUAGE OF A DOG.
dow the Canin> Dictionary was Evolved
from His Tail.

"
In the case of all hunting dogs, such
as fox hounds or wolves, which pack
together, the tail is carried aloft, and is
very free in movement. 1t Is frequent
ly rendered more conspicuous by the
tip being white, and this is almost in
variably the case when the hounds are
mixed color. When ranging the long
grass of the prairie or jungle the raised
tips of the tails would often be all that
an individual member of the band would
see of its fellows. There is no doubt
that hounds habitually watch the tails
Of those in front of them when drawing
q covert.
If a faint drag is detected suggestive
Of the presence of the fox, but scarcely
sufficient to be sworn to vocatiy, the
tail of the finder is Mt once set In mo-
ton, and the warmer the scent the
quicker does il wag. Others seeing the
signal instantly join the first and there
is an assemblage of waving tails before
even the least whimper is heard. Should
The drag prove n doubtful one the
hocuds separate again and the waving
ceases, but if it grows stronger when
followed up the wagging becomes more
and more emphatic, until one after III
other the hounds begin to whine and
give tongue. and stream off in Indian
file along the line of scent. When the
pack is in full cry upon a strong scent
the tails cease to wave, but are carried
aloft in full view.
The moment when the dog most en-.
joys life is the moment when he sights
game. That moment is the time when
he wags his tail most vigorously in
order to announce his discovery to his
fellow dogs. In this way, by the habit
OF association, he got TO wagging his
tail whenever he was pleased, and the
more pleased he Is the more vigorously
he wags his tail. so that the wagging OF
q dogs tail, under pleasurable emotion
can be traced directly to the time wheI
the dog used his tail as a signal Of tn,
: discovery of its prey.

CHAPTER TX.


Fol- years Dorian Gray could not free him
self from the memory of this book. Or per-
haps it would be more accurate to say ths'
he never sought TO free himself from it. He
procured from Paris no less than five large
paper copies Of the first edition, and had
them bound in different colors, so that they
might suit his various moods and the chang
ing fancies of a nature over which he
seemed, at times, TO have almost entirely
lost control. The hero, the wonderful
young Partisan, in whom the romantic tenn
permanent and the scientific temperament
were 50 strangely blended, became TO him a
kind of prefiguring type of himself. And,
indeed, the whole book seemed to him to
contain the story Of his own life, written be-
fore he had lived it. In one point he was
more fortunate than the books fantastic
nero. He never knew-nevcr, indeed, had,
any cause to know-that somewhat grotes-
que dread of mirrors, and polished metal
surfaces, and still water, which came up
on the young Partisan so early in his life,
and was occasioned by the heavy decay of a
beauty that had once, apparently, been so
remarkable, 1t was an almost cruel Joy
and perhaps in nearly every joy, as certain.

that he used to read the latter part of the
book, with its really tragic, if somewhat,
overemphasized, account of the sorrow and
despair Of one who had himself lost what ir
others, and in the world, he had most
valued.
He, at any rate, had no cause to fear that.
Tn boyish beauty that had so fascinated
Basil Hallward and many others besides him
seemed never TO leave him. Even those who
had heard the most evil things against him

could not believe anything to his dishonor
when they saw him. He had always the
look OF one who kept himself unspotted
from the world. Men who talked grossly
became silent when Dorian Gray entered
the room. There was something In the
purity of his face that rebuked them. His
mere presence seemed to recall to them the
innocence that they had tarnish : ThAy

WILL BE INVOLVED.
Military Men Look for Trouble Over
the Turkish Question.

Washington, Oct. 2.-Among the mill
tary attaches of the foreign legations II
is generally expected that trouble be-
tween England and Turkey is immi-
nent. In fact, some of these gentlemen
openly predict that hostilities may be
looked for within thirty days. The same
observers profess to see In recent move
ments of vessels of the United States
European squadron evidence that this
country will become involved in the con.
troyersy. The resolutions in congress
favoring the Armenians are pointed to
as bearing out this supposition. This
state and navy departments maintain
their accustomed r%eticence. but the fact
THAT there has been a sharp advance In
the wheat market gives color to the be-
lief that the rumors Of possible war are
we'll grounded.

WANTS PAPAL ALLOCATE.
Premier of the Dominion Asks the

ottawa, Ont, Oct. "A prominent &C.
clesiastic of Quebec province yesterday
divulged the object Of the much dis
cussed visit Of Able Proult of Rome.
1t was generally understood that Pre-
mier Laurier had a private understand
ing with Able Proult, whereby the lat
ter was to make such representation to
the vatican as would lead to the Quebec
hierarchy being compelled to keep out
of dominion politics. The truth is that
through Able Proult Mr.. Laurier has
asked that a papal ablegate be appoint
ed for Canada. The ALLOCATE would be
the vice regent of his holiness in this
country and superior in rank to the car
dinal archbishop of Quebec. This, " Is
known, will be met with the strongest
disapproyal Of the Quebec hierarchy.

INCREASES THE CAPACITY.

The Redwood Roller Mills, A. G
Burmeister, proprietor, will close
down tomorrow for a siege of remod
cling and overhauling, whereby the
capacity of the mill will be increased
from 40 to rs barrels daily.
Among the improvements to be
made will be the putting in of larger
size rolls in place of the present sys.
tenn. There will be new shafting
pulleys, and gearing, and new tur-
bine will take the place of the present
wheel that furnishes the water motive
power. A new boiler will also be
placed in the engine room. Mr.. Bur
meister expects to run the mill night
and day as soon as he has completed
the remodeling.
G. O. Morgan, the well-known ma
chinist and master of all trades of this
city will superintend the work.
Mr.. Burmeister states that for the
amount of rain he has never seen the
water in the river as low as it is at the
present time. He thinks that the
ground absorbs it as fast as it falls,
instead of the water running into gull
leys and then into the river.
