1t has always been a difficult ques-
ton to determine where instinct ends and
reason begins The miraculous sagacity SO
often found in the dog has added more
in this perpleXity than that of all the
low er order OF animals put together.
Most people are familiar with the expe-
rience of John Randolph, one of the
ablest of metapbysicians, with his dog. 1t
is n popular Illustration with philosophical
writers on the subject The dog lost sight
of his master. He came to place where
three roads met. He ran down one road,
carefully seeming the way, then ran down
the second and anXiously scented it.
Without further ado he rapidly took the
third road without putting his nose to
the earth. and found his mater. The arcU-
ment, said Randolph, in the dogs mind
was as follows: My master, when he
came to these forks, did not take either IF
the two roads i examined, therefore he
must have taken the third" This is
purely n syllogisn, an example of abso-
lutte induction, the highest effort OF the
human mind. An old dog in a bear hunt

that Of his own species In the history Of
dogs the st. Bernard, perhaps, is the most
remarkable for his reasoning powers.
This magnificent breed of dogs is peculiaS
to the Alps and that portion of the country
between Switzerland and Savoy. 1t would
seem that nature is ever careful and true to
her instinct in preserving and consecratinG
all things to human use. The passes over
these mountains are exceedingly dangerous:
often precipiCes of many thousand feet are
on one side and perpendicular lodges Of rock
on the other. a narrow path covered with
ice and snow winds around these rocky pro-
monotories. Not infrequcntly an avalanche
of snow slides down on the belated traveller.
AS LIFE-SAVERS.

of benighted wanderers. on stormy nights
these faithful guardians were sent out. and

With their huge paws they would clear
away the snow, and their constant howl

The much feared bloodhound has the
keenest smell of them all. He is less

THE MOST DANGEROUS WOMAN

cit is unfortunate that we have in
this life of ours, which seems SO full to
some Of us, so many women who can
find nothing for their hands to do,
writes Edward W. Box III Ladies' Home
Journal, discussing women and Card
Parties. " 81 do not mean by this those
whom we call the wealthy and the lei
sure classes. The greatest dangers to our

modern society is she who is married

who lives i'll boarding house or hotel,
and who is constantly on the lookout
for something to occupy her attention.
And woman in this condition gener-
ally finds the very thing she shouldn't.
Instead of filling up her life with some
thing worthy of her wOmanhOod, she
drags it out through a succession of such
enjOyments as these progressive card
parties.
As she cannot play alone she seeks
company, and, unfortunately, it is never
difficult for a woman of this sort to find
companions of her own kind. She is
one of the types of women who have
made these card parties what they are
today among women. The well bred
woman; the woman of intelligence who
can see their relative fitness of things /;
the woman who believes that God gave
her something to do in this world; the
woman with nice perceptions; the wOm-
an who is wholesome in every sense !;
the woman whom it is good for another
woman to know, who says something of
value when she speaks, who lifts herself
mentally and spiritually above others,
whom mothers like their daughters to
know and their sons to talk with-be-

Cape COlonists as Uitlanders.

In the Cape Colony itself there are
many grades of society among the Dutch
and French themselves. The older.
wealthier and more aristocratic families
who live around Cape Town and the
vicinity are removed by a whole world
of education and ideas from the uncouth
corn boer of the Malmesbury district or
the tobacco grower of George or Oudt-
shoorn.
To say that, for the sake of senti-
ment, a Paarl vigneron or Karroo
sheep farmer will shoulder his rifle and
leave his tiocks and herds to fight for
the TransTaal, thereby imperiling his

ate and distort the race question in
South Africa. Indeed, it may surprise
us to learn that among Jameson's troop

Dutch and French colonial names. The

for the brethren of the Cape Colony and
