Philadelphia Record: With one OF

fernal regions are said to be paved, an
economic uptown housewife recently
dyed her hnbby's shabby hat. The
operation was performed with tooth

who put his hat on before 1t was dry and
sailed forth to his Chestnut street Office.
On drying the Derby turned beautiful

ignorant and blissful wearer passed
through the principal streets. Before he
reached the Office he was caught in q
shower and when he afterward saw him

indeed, 1t wasn't even black, and to the

it seemed to have been composed of

lecture he delivered on false economy"
when he reached home would have done
credit to Mrs. Caudle.

two bicycles belonging to man and his

on veritable wind pudding, for they ate

and chewed the cork handles of the

The owners Of the bicycles filed claim

He is said to have floated a series OF
drafts in the Tradesmen's National bank

President Clay gave the Tradesmen's
bank bond OF $l50,000 to indemnify it
against loss. This bond was given with
out the knowledge of the directors, and
when the board learned OF it they repudi-

assignment, in order to learn the true
condition Of the company. An exami-

WHY DOGS ARE INTELLIGENT.

Formerly Eaten Dy Enehr Mates
New York Times: Professor N. s.
Shaler of Harvard university, in his
study of domesticated animals, advances
this theory in regard to the dog, which
explains in large measure why the best
traits of the dog have been developed.
The dog of the savage could not have
been a cultured creature. He had not
been long enough associated with man to
subdue his native impulses. The dog
plenty, man and animal had enough to
eat. But when game was scarce the
the savage ate the dog. To-day when in
state OF famine, Eskimos will eat some
of the pack. But choice is exercised
then. The strongest, or the most affec-
tionate, or the most intelligent animals
would he spared. The weaklings, the
cross, the stupid dogs would 90 to the pot.
"In this way" writes Professor Shaler,
'for ages careful, though unattended
process OF selection was applied to these
creatures" and to this we may fairly at
tribute, as many considerable naturalists
have done, u large part of the intellectual
indeed, we may say moral elevate n
to which dogs have attained.
La this clever study of the dog, Profess
sor Shaler, looking more particularly to
the instructive traits of pointers and set.
la 70 Lone
hunting ANNA ls have shown their peculi-
arities when seeming game. Some theo-
rists have advanced the idea that the
actions of the dogs, as pointers or settlers,
can only date back from the invention of
fowliLg pieces. 1t liz mooted question
among those who have studied firearms
which served for sport whether Spain
was not the first country using the fowl
ing piece. Now, curiously eonugh. ira
dition seems to indicate that the early
pointer-the dog with an exaggerated
split OF the nostrils-was originally Span
ish, and that from Spain the breed trav-
eled northward. II the idea be enter
tanned that the pointer appeared with the
use OF the fowling piece, the particular
specialization of the pointer only began
in dogs removed by some thirty genera
tons from those of to day, Those who
advocate this ingenious theory do not
bear In mind the dogs which must have
been used in hawking, and hawking is OF
the most remote antiquity.
