A Dogs KNOWLEDGE OF TIME.
How Animals Tell the Time of Day-A
Boston Subject.

How Animals Tell the Time of Day-A
Boston Subject.
How do dogs know the time of dav?
some one asks the writer, and pro-
ceeds to relate some stories to prove
that they do know it. One of these
stories is about collie who starts
every afternoon to meet his master,
who always comes on the fve-thirty
train. Trains are continually coming
and going, and whistling and ringing,
but Pete pays no attention to any but
this one. AS soon as it's whistle is
heard he begins to bark joyfully, and
never makes mistake. Another dog
became so much accustomed to going
to the schoolhouse every morning with
his little master, that when the boy
was absent for several weeks, the dog
still went on going to school, arriving
punctually at nine every morning.
Moreover, he never went SATURDAY. or
Sunday.
With regard to the first case, says
the Chicago Times, it might be replied,
perhaps, by a skeptical person, that
the dog was more likely to be able to
distinguish the special whistle of the
locomotive which drew the five-thirtv
train, than to know it by the hour of
day. And yet, the writer has no sort
of doubt that dogs do know when a
certain hour arrives at which some
thing regular and accustomed takes
place. The second case seems to prove
this very thing. There is a case on
record in which a doctor, who was ac-
customed to visit a certain village at a.
certain hour on certain day each
week, always found a dog of his ac-
quaintance waiting for him outside the
town, and it was proved that the dog
never came to the place at any other
day or hour.
Evidently. all that can be said in ex-
planation Of such cases is that animals
are susceptible Of having periods or
cycles OF time established in their in
teillGence by use, and that their igno-
rance of timepieces only serves to make
the instinct the keener. It is we'll
known that men who have never DOS
sessed watches, and who work or hunt
habitually at "a distance from clocks.
are very expert at estimating the lapse
OF time. Perception of this kind I'M
doubtedly may be cultivated in an in
telligent animal as well as a man.

HUMOR ON THE BENCH.
Characteristic Anecdote Of Lord Bowe
the English Jurist.

Characteristic Anecdote Of Lord Bowen,
the English Jurist.
The late Lord Bowen, besides being
great judge, was also great wit, and
many interesting bon mots of his are
being recalled just now. On the occa-
sion of the queens jubilee, says House
hold Words, the judges were drawing
up an address to the queen.
Conscious as we are of our short
comings," ran the address; CONSCIOUS
as we are Of one another's shortcom-
ings," suggested Lord Bowen. Not
long ago he was asked to sit in the adj
miralty court. Upon taking his seat
he asked indulgence on account of in
experience in admiralty business.
"And may there be no meanings of the
bar" he added, when put out to sea-"
Sometimes his wit was very decisive,
as, for instance, when he remarked:
Truth will out-even in an affidavit"
Not the least happy of his recorded
witticisms was the remark he made
when congratulated on his appoint
ment to be a law lord. He would, he
said, find the work easy, his duty being
to give his opinion after so many others
had given theirs. "In fact, only have
to agree, and might well have been
raised to the peerage as Lord Con-
curry,'"

The Boot ON the other Foot.

In hunters lore there is an idea that
the jackal is the lions provider; that
he locates the game and takes the lion
to it. This superstition has no more
foundation than is found in the fact
that after lion has slain his quarry the
iackals always attend and wait the con-
clusion of the repast, in order to pick
up tie leavings.

Gen. Grant. secre,I,.ne...


Gen. Horace Portcr's "Campaigning
with Grant" takes up tho Dash for
Petersburg" in the Century" Gen.
Porter says concerning Gen. Grants
secretiveness:
After the general had got some miles
out on the march from Cold Harbor, an
onicer OF rank joined him, and as they
rode s,ong, began to explain plan
which he had skctched providing for the
construction Of another line OF intrench-
ments some distance in rear OF the
lines then held by us. to be used in
case the army should at any time want
TO fall back and move toward the
James, and should be attacked while
Withdrawing. The general kept on
smoking his cigar. listened to the pro-
position for a time. and then quietly
remarked to the astonished ohicer:
The army has already pulled out from
the enemy's front. and is now on its
march to the James"
This Ia mentioned as an instance OF
how we'll his secrets could be kept. He
had never been secretive man until
the positions OF responsibility in which
he was placed compelled him to be
chary In giving expression to his opin-
ions and purposes. He then learned
the force Of the philosophers maxim
the scabbard, while the spoken word is
a sword In the hand OF ones enemy"
In the field there were constant visitors
to the camp, ready to circulate care
lessly any limitations OF the command
er's movements, at the risk Of having
such valuable information reach the
enemy. Any encouraging expression
given to an applicant for favors was
apt to be tortured into promise, and
the general naturally became guarded
in his intercourse. When qu sstioned be-
yond the bounds of propriety his lips
closed like yise and the obtruding
party was left to supply all the sub
sequent conversation.
These circumstances proclaimed him
a man who studied to be uncommuni-
cative, and gave him q reputation for
reserve which could not fairly be at
tributed to him. Ie was called the
american Sphinx" Ulysses the ST.
lent" and the Great Unspeakable,"
and was popularly supposed to move
about with sealed lips. II is true that
he had no small talk" introduced
merely for the sake OF talking. and
many one will recollect the embar-
rassment OF first encounter with him
resulting from this fact; but while,
like Shakspeares soldier. he never
wore his dagger in his mouth, yet in
talking to q small circle of friends up
on matters which he had given special
consideration, his conversation was so
thoughtful, philosophical. and original
him.
