A Dog that Understands Music.

l have been surprised that trainers
of animals pay so much attention to
mere tricks and none to what might be
termed accomplishments, says a
writer. Almost all animals are judges
of music and susceptible to it's influ-
ences; horses dance to it, snakes are
charmed by it. 1t is even said that
lion can be soothed with it so as to
render the king of beasts harmless.
l know dogs not only enjoy music, but
are sometimes good Judges as to its
quality, and | believe they could be
taught by competent trainers to play
correctly on musical instruments.
have one that was partially trained
that way. He is very fond of the mu-
sic of a violin; he does not attempt to
follow a tune, but keeps time on quick
pieces with short barks, while when
pieces in minor chords are played he
draws long, plainsive breaths. If 1
introduce a false note, which 1 some
times do on purpose, he will howl, and
three or four such errors will make
him leave on a run. He can detect a
false note even more quickly than /
can.

Biggest OF All i!O.s.

A hog of wonderful Dimensions has
turned up in Montivello, Texas. II
is almost the size of an OK, but its
powers of consumption almost equal
those of an elephant.
The hog originally sold for $3.50,
but to day the owner scorns an offer
of SIS, 900 for it. Museum managers
all over the country have offered to
purchase it, but the owner is waiting
until it shall have reached Its limit OF
height, when be thinks its value will
be doubled.
The hog weighs 1880 pounds, is
eight fest three inches in length and
foar feet one inch high. 1t measures
eight feet around its body. Its feet
are OF the size of an ordinary OK.
1T eats from forty to fifty ears oi
corn every day. The pen in which
the pig is kept is always surrounded
by crowd, many people watching the
phenomenon for hours.
The animal is the pride OF the
neighborhood, and the first story a
stranger hears on entering the town is
the story of this champion hog. Wis
itors invariably tell OF tho pig after
leaving the village, and it's fame hns
travelled fur aud wide. Experts on
cattle say that the animal can be made
to attain weight of 2200 pounds.
So fearful is the owner that some
thing will happen to the pig that he
has taken out an insurance policy on
its life. He has also insured it for
$4,000 against loss by fire.

In New Hampshire and the other in
Vermont, differ from each other. On
one side of the river is granite soil
and on the other limestone soil, and
the difference in grass grown on these
two soils makes a difference In the

Illinois make a wool from the same

coarser than the wool of the sheep

wool is not so clear, dense or strong as

Treachery of the Turks.

The Mushir, u Syrian revolutionary
paper, published in Cairo, Egypt,
gives an account of an alleged act OF
treachery of the Turkish authorities
in the Lebanon toward the Druses,
who have been carrying on SUCCESS =
full rebellion against the Turkish Gov
ernment.
The Druses had defeated the Turk
ish Government in set battle and
several skirmishes, and had captured
two field guns and quantity of rifles
and ammunition. The losses of the
Turks killed in battle were estimated
at 5000, and 1000 more by sickness,
exposure and hunger, while the losses
of the Druses were 1900 men killed in
battle.
A truce was effected between tho
warning parties, and the representa-
tives OF both met to draw up peace.
The Druses made the following de,
mands: That their chiefs who had
been previously exiled from the Hau-
ran District, including Shibel-el-
Atrash, be brought back and restored
to liberty; that the Druses be ex-
empted from paying taxes for seven
years; that Bedouins and Circassians
be excluded from the Hauran, and
that any of those people who entered
there might be killed by the Druses.
The Turkish representatives offered
to accept these terms, and on their
side demanded that the Druses give up
2500 rifles and also the two mountain
guns they had captured from the
Turkish troops.
The Druses agreed to these proposi-
tions, and the Turks asked that the
remaining Druse chiefs come and sign
the agreement. The chiefs came and
were Immediately arrested by the
Turks, who proposed to send them te
Damascus, and thence to CONSTANT
nople. The Druses, however, had
suspected some trickery on the part Of
the Turks, AMI had posted strong

to know what you can't do well.
Scatter sound literature, and the
harvest will come in due season.
The trouble market is easy, and it
can always be borrowed at low rates.
Hush money usually talks for both
parties interested in the transaction.

don't deserve it the more you abuse
him.
A weak constitution cen be
strengthened, but weak set OF brains
can't.

get down.
The top round OF the ladder is an
imaginary one; nobody has ever

A wise man is never confounded by
what he doesn't understand, but n
