WHAT A DOG CAN ENDURE.
One Went Twenty-Five Days Without
Food

One Went Twenty-Five Days Without
Food.
Some very long survivals are on rec
ord, but none, perhaps, more interesting
or remarkable than well-authenticated
case which comes from France, says
Public Opinion. Mr.. Gely, a superin-
tendent at Dampierre, in the department
iof the Upper Saone has dog named
Rigolet, which although past 10 years
old and almost toOthless, has never
abated the activity of his warfare
against all the animals of the field, and
especially against foxes. A short time
ago as Mr.. Gely, with his dog, was
passing the mouth of fox burrow,
Rigolet made a sudden and furious de-
scent Oh the burrow, showing plainly
that it was inhabited 1t had so spa-
cious an opening that the dog forced
himself into it quite out of sight. Pres
emily the master heard the tumult of
combat within. The dog was barking
tiercely. Then there came a sound of
a caving in. and the noise ceased. Either
Rigolet had been silenced by the fox or
he had been engulfed by the collapse Of
the gallery in which the fight was taking
place. Mr.. Gely set about digging him
out, but found the ground so stony that
he was obliged to give it up, and the old
dog was left to his fate.
Gely went home and after mourning
the dog few days thought of him no
more. Twenty-one days went by. 1t
happened that the miller with friend,
said, There's the place where poor old
Rigolet was buried alive" Just then
he heard a feeble whining which seemed
to come from underground. He called
and listened and the whining was re-
peated louder than before. There was
certainly a dog within the fox burrow.
The miller ran to apprise Gely, who
this time brought picks and shOvels and
a sufficient number of hands to open the
burrow. After five hours of active dig
ging, the old dog was unearthed at a
considerable depth. As soon as he was
brought to the open air, Rigolet fell to
the ground, apparently dead But his
master succeeded In reviving him with
doses of beef tea and milk. and the old
dog was seemingly as good as ever. 1T
became question whether he had fast
ed in the burrow for the twenty-five
days or whether he had subsisted on the
fox, which he certainly found. 1t was
assumed. by his master that he was too
nearly tOOthless to have been able to
devour fox, and those who dug him
out declared that there was no sign that
he, had had anything to eat.

most under the SHOWS of that severe

It would be useless to write ofanything
except the new sleeve and the new
gown Of which it is the chief feature.
The new sleeves, one might say; for
there is no order or agreement in the
advancing host. Hardly shall one see
six women together without freak or
two, in the way of queer sleeved gowns,
whether at high tea Oh ball or in the
shops where the exclusives most do con-
gregate. Freaks, one calls them, speak
ing in all honesty for SO they seem, so
long as they are comparatively few; but
when a majority surrender to a freak
1t becomes at once most tasteful and
classic. Let us utter no rash words for
memory to prick us withal.
The new sleeves are various, but may
be classified. Either the inner sleeves
follows the shape of the arm, so franti-
.cally close clinging that it seems to be
climbing up in panic to hide under the
epaulet at the shoulder-an effect which

ORIGIN OF THE ROSE.
Queen of Flowers Is of Ancient Lineage
and Distinguished History.

Queen of Flowers Is of Ancient Lineage
and Distinguished History.
Some indication of the origin Of the
rose, both in time and in country is prob
ably given in its name. This undoubted-
ly comes to us through the Latin from
the Greek "rodop," word which is now
agreed to be, in the wider sense, oriental,
not Greek. But to which of the two
great families of language it belongs is
less certain. Heyn maintains it to be
1ranian-that is, of the Aryan family
of the older tongue of Persia and Bac
tria: and Persia might unquestionably
put forward strong claims to be the true
native country of the rose. But Profess
sor Skeat, who has the majority of mod
ern authorities on his side. declares it to
be pure Semitic word-the Arabic
ward" a Towering shrub, thus denoting
the flower of flowers par excellence. 1t
is worth noticing that the Persian word
"gul'' similarly meant at first only Il
perfumed flower, but has come to he
used of the rose alone. cut rosa fios

agree with all other indica tons that we
can trace in placing the original home
of the rose, much as that of our earliest
forefathers, on the central or western
central district of Asia; but, instead of
spreading only in 4 westerly direction,

ICEBERG PHENOMENA.
Their Presence In Low Latitudes Is Easily

Accounted For.
The occurrence Of ice in the compare
lively low ATTITUDES of Cape Horn and
the Falkland islands is easily explained,
says The Pail Mall Gazette The ice has
originally formed part of the great bar
rier which, with very few breaks, sur
rounds the vast antarctic continent, ris-
ing to an average height of from $50
feet TO 200 feet above and sinking from
LOO feet to l., 400 feet below the level
of the sea and having moreover, q
thickness of something like 1000 feet
or 800 feet. 1t is solid perpendicular
wall Of ice formed by the descent over
the lowlands into the sea Of the ice
and snow which form on the mountains
inland, and when the forefronts are
pushed into depths Of about 800 or 400
fathoms large stretches are broken off
and float away northweard with the
current When they start on their aim
less career, they may be miles in extent,
and though. as a rule, they break up by
collision and erosion it is not at all un-
usual to encounter an island miles long
in the neighborhood of the extreme ice
limit.
For instance, the Coldinghame in this
region passed about 200 bergs, one Of
which was ten miles long. The Guilty

gitude AZ west, found by cross bearings
and distance run that the east side of
one berg which she encountered was 10
miles long. AT first the masses arc
straight, flat topped and horizontally
tratified-altogether unlike those met
with in the north BY the action Of the
waves they are cut at the waters edge
into coves and caverns Of heavenly
blue color. Then, as they collide or get
melted away at the base by the action
of the water, they turn over and show
to the wandering mariner those fantas-
ic shapes which simply beggar all de-
scription. Naturally as they travel
farther north they become smaller and
still more strangely shaped and ulti-
mately melt away.
