 It is not so very long ago since a focN eign scientist discoursed on the benefits of yawning. This act, which is gener. ally regarded as partaling of the nature of tired condition or symptom of such a condition, of the respiration and Of the need for fresh air, is said to be of great service in clearing the eusta- ehian tubes of the ears. These tubes lead from the back of tho mouth to the inner side of the ear drum, and g yawn- ing is looked upon in this light as a hygienic exercise which benefits the structures ill question.
 Another scientist has no difficulty in showing that when we laugh we in- crease the play of tension i'll our lungs One result of this increased tension is to arrest the blood flow i'll the lungs and to induce the taking of deep in- spirations These latter are healthful things, for many parts of our lungs are not called into active use in ordinary breathing, The apex, or top of the lung, is notably part which does not active. ly particieate in tho movements o2 breathing, and as this is tho special seat of consumption attack we may reasonably hold that the law of disuse explains tho greater liability of this portion of the organ to the onset of dis ease The free and active use of q part, strengthening and toning it, as it were, is an essential condition for health {; hence laughter, by bringing into play the whole of the lungs, or ct least by favoring an increase of lung work. is to bo reckoned an admirable exercise.

PROPERTY IN DOGS.
The Law rs Laid Down by the su-
prcme Court.

WASHINGTON, April 26.-The United
States Supreme Court to-day decioeo d
case involving a claim for damages for
killing a dog, which had made It's way
from the lower courts of New Orleans
through the various phases of litigation
70 be finally decided here in opposition 10
the claim. The suit was instituted py
George w. Sentell, Jr.. against the New
Orleans and Carrolton Railroad COM
pany. The dog. Newfoundland valued
at $500. was killed by a car owned by the
railroad company. The case turned upon
the validity of an act of the Louisiana
LEGISLATURE recognizing dogs as personal
property only when placed upon the as
sessment rolls. In this case the dog was
not assessed.
Justice Brown delivered the opinion of
the court sustaining the consttutonallty
of the law and refusing damages. JUS
tice Brown laid down the law in regard
TO dogs in general in the following terms;
"The very fact that they are without pro-
lection of the criminal law shows that
property in dogs is OF. an imperfect or
qualified nature, and that they stand, as
il We're. between animals ferae naturae,
in which, until subdued. there Is no pro-
perty, and domestic animals. in which
the right of property is complete. They
are not considered as being upon the
same plane with horses, cattle sheep,
and other domesticated animals. but
rather in the category of cats, monkeys,
parrots. singing-birds, and similar ami
mails, kept for pleasure, curiosity, or ca
price Unlike other domestic animals,
they are useful neither as beasts Of bur-
den, for draught, nor for food
