her pocket. But mamma dingo does
not follow this prevailing fashion
which the kangaroos and their cousins
have set for ages; and papa dingo does
not associate upon friendly terms with
"old man" kangaroo. Yet the dingo
is clearly the ruler among the four
footed people of the bush-so much SO
that the native Australian considers
him the king of the beasts. @
These wild dogs sometimes run in
packs, but more often prowl about in
pairs; and literally they are pretty
pair of rogues," for every dingo is good
looking and bad acting. He is about
two feet high and finely proportioned,
with tail as handsome as the brush SO
proudly worn by our familiar friend,
Reynard. The tip of the dingo's tail is
usually white, and the rest of his body
tawny or reddish, but lighter upon
breast and belly. He stands firm and
strong upon his well-built legs; so take
him all together, Canine Dingo is
handsome fellow. But he is far from
beautiful in behavior. He bowls and
prowls like a wolf, he sneaks and steals
like fox, and has all the mean habits
of sheep-killing dog. Henever barks,
but you really ought to hear him howl!
Once is enough. Even the bushmen-
sound sleepersas they are-awake at his
blood-curdling cry.
The dingos breed in the malice scrub.
They live upon marsupials-and spring
lambs, until the bushmen rise in their
might and kill as many of them as pos
sible. Nearly every province in Aus
tralia offers reward for their heads.
AS high as two pounds head has been
paid, which certainly proves that the
Australians think that the only good
dingo is dead dingo.

CHICAGO A CLOSE SECOND.

Has a Pound and Three-Quarter's Baby to
New York's One Pound.
receutissue of the Chicago Chron-
icle was published an account Of one
pound baby born in New York. Ohica-
go can boast of one not much larger.
DIR. ]. A. Hemsteger, of 1886 Vincennes
avenue, who attended the mother, re-
ports. the birth of little baby to Mr..
and Mrs. Stafford, of 1928 Emerald ave-
nue., the other day. The doctor thinks
the mite Of humanity has a good chance
to live. Its clothing consists of roll
of cotton; its bed is small basket, in
which is a rubber hot water bottle for
warmth, and, while it is bathed in olive
oil to assist nourishment by absorb
ton, yet it eats, sleeps and acts pretty
much like other babies.
The parents are delighted with the
little girl, and while it's father, who Is
a commission merchant at the stock
yards, is a good-natured person, with
a big heart to keep alive more than 200
pounds of humanity, this little mite
weighs but a scant ~ pounds. The
action of its heart is fine, the respiration
good, and, with the care Of Mrs. Savage,
the nurse, it has good prospects to live.
It's little waist measures scarcely two
inches around, and two inches covers
the length of its foot, while the longest
finger measures three-quarters of an
inch in length. 1t is well formed, and
other measurements correspond to
those given. Mr.. Stafford says the
neighbors have not yet sent in any COM
plant about the noise and disturbance
the little one is making.

that canine burlesque called a dach-
shund. Then there are collies and
terriers of assorted sizes and colors--
to say nothing of the many varieties OF
settlers and hounds. Yet these quad
rupeds-less alike in externals than a
cat and squirrel, or garter snake and
a pipe fish-are all dogs!
The question which naturally arises
is-what was the original type? The
various replies to this question might
all be summed up IN that well-known
answer of the darby in the freight
depot, when he said, in reference to the
destination of pup which had been
left behind: 81 d'n'know, an he
d'n'know, an nobody knows; an he's
ate up his tagi"
But even if we cannot picture the first
canine ancestor, we can easily decide
which are the earliest types now living.
OF the true dogs perhaps the most prim-
tive is the dingo, or wild dog of Aus
tralia. On that great island continent
there is another native canine. Near

A Colored Girrs Definition.

The teacher of class of colored chill
dren in a Washington school was In
structing in English grammar. She
gave word out, and the class built a
sentence around it. Everything pro-
crossed smoothly for some time, until
the word delight" was given. Make
a sentence in which delight appears"
said the teacher. This seemed to be
very difficult, and for few minutes
there was great buzzing and whisper
ing. Suddenly hand went up from
the smallest girl in the room. "WellP"
said the teacher, kindly. when goes
to bed" said the small girl, II puts out
de light" The teacher says she could
not find voice for several 4 Iputes to
explain the error.
