The Snnnicl Mt His Best.

To see the spaniel at his best he
should be taken to the haunts of the
waterfowl. In the salt marshes, the
lakes and streams of the east. and IN
the prairie sloughs of the west, he is in
deed great little dog. His stumpy
legs may be poor performers on dry
ground, but they are very efficient when
it comes to swimming. The dog, too, is
a hardy fellow, ready to face any weather
and cold water whenever asked. AS a
retriever from water he is most desira-
BILE, while his intelligence and compact
form make him the best of dogs for the
ducking skiff. Of course the Irish water
spaniel is excluded from all references
to short legs and clumsiness. a good
specimen of this dog appears to be quite
long legged.
The chief value Of the Irish spaniel
to the sportsman is as retriever. He
is worthy rival Of the famous dog Of
the Chesapeake, and 10 weather is too
severe, while few tasks are too difficult,
for him He is game to the core, very
powerful, magnificent swimmer, and to
all intents a natural retriever. His oily
coat can bid defiance to cold water,
while vigorous shake appears to at
once dry it. He is as hardy as badger.
He is most intelligent and willing
worker, and will show to the greatest
advantage under conditions which
would battle almost any other retriever
from water.-Outing.

Riding on Turtles Backs.

Having had considerable experience
in turtle catching, I know swimmer
can frequently approach a sleeping tur-
tie from behind and leap on its back
before it awakes The creatures first
impulse is to dive, but if its rider
knows his business he can instantly
bring it to standstill by forcing his
fingers into its horny eyes, when it at
once floats motionless on the surface.
In the case of a midshipman whom l
know of he got on turtles back and
enjoyed ten minutes ride, sometimes
on the surface of the water, sometimes
Under, before he brought the animal to
standstill.
Three things are certain-frst, the
ability Of man to get on sleeping
turtles back; second, by sitting far
back on its shell to keep it near the
surface; third, to instantly stop its ca
-eer by reducing it to blindness. Hav-
ing regard to the brevity and simplicity
of Rougemont's account, I can quite
we'll believe that lonely man on his
coral sand bank, with all his instincts
preternaturally sharpened, did actually
ride and guide the turtle as he has
stated.-Admiral Moresby in London
Chronicle.

A Highly Seasoned Dinner.

Colonel John ". Caldwell, who went
through the civil war, tells an amusing
story about Louisville company which
served in his command. He says:
eve were camped in Tennessee. Il
was in the spring and greens was the
chief ration. A large number of the
boys would get leave every day to 60
and pick green's. One day farmer
came to me and said he had complaint
to lodge against some men of my regi-
ment.
I" They totally destroyed my plant
bed said he. Pulled up all my tobac-
co plants.
"'The men of my command are Ken
tuckians and gentlemen said I, and l
cannot believe that they would wanton-
ly destroy your property. They will
take things to eat, but never destroy
what they cannot use. However, If you
will point out to me the men who did
it, will have them arrested.
"The man left, and it was not long
until the mystery was solved. DR..
Byrne, who was regimental surgeon,
was summoned hastily to attend lot
of men of the Louisville company who
were rolling in agony and appeared to
have cholera. They had eaten the tobac-
co oplants, thinking they were greens !"

The EoaI and the Calf.

It is an interesting study to note n
domestic animals the traits Of their
wild ancestors. There are some charac-
teristics, Of course, which are readily
recognizable as being similar to those
of animals still in wild state, and for
this reason they give fair idea Of the
life and surroundings OF progenitors.
The habits Of the dog and cat are too
familiar to comment on, but take the
foal and compare his traits with those
of tie calf
The foal when a few days old can
gallop as fast as he ever can in after
life. He never leaves the dam, and
takes nourishment in small quantities,
avoiding q full meal, which would i'm
pede swift escape. In lying down no at
tempt is made at concealment, and
when he stands his head is held high.
These habits show that the animals s
ancestors spent their lives in the open
and not in the forests and that they
were great travellers.
The calf, on the contrary, fills him
self with milk, and is a poor traveller.
When danger approaches, his first i'm
pulse is to conceal himself. He holds
his head low in order to look under the
branches of the forest. All his charac-
teristics point to the fact that the an
cestral home of cattle was in moist,
wooded country, while the primeval
horse roamed the plains-New York

Duties of Citizenship.

No citizen has right to criticise
public affairs or bewail evil conditions
which may exist unless be is willing to
work, as all citizens should, to better
those conditions. Let him ask himself
if he has done his own duty before he
laments the fact that others have failed
in theirs. Let him be certain that he
understands the duties of citizenship in
his country. Few perfectly understand
their obligations as citizens, although
the subject is one to which every free
man should devote careful study. They
would then be capable of active and in
telligent effort and would perceive the
folly Of idle criticism. They would then
know that liberty, like all things truly
valuable, cannot be gained or kept with
out great effort and that it remains not
long with the undeserving.-Speed

Christening Battleships.

It is not believed that the origin Of
christening the warship was due to an
act Of irreverenoe as mock baptism,
but that its earliest inception was the
human sacrifice, then the libations Of
wine of Greece and the north, and, with
the spread of the Christian religion, the
blessing Of the battleship, a custom OBJ
served today in all Roman Catholic
countries. The object was the same IN
both the pagan and Christian rites, to
make the career Of the ship successful
by an appeal to the protection Of un-
known powers. Even the superstitions
Of those old days come down to Us. We
may not steal wood to make a swift
keel for our new ship in the night, on
the principle that thieves run fast in
the darkness, but ships sail out Of Mar
blehead today with broom nailed to
the mast, and no crew will start out on
Friday unless under compulsion.-

Hosier and Hoosier.

The Philistine tells Of meeting a
woman at literary reception in Lon
don who said she had heard the Amerl-
can "hosier poet" read at Exeter hall.
Chow curious that hosier should be-
come your poet laureate in America"
she said.
The Phihstine did not know what
she meant, but followed the trail of her
chat until she said that her favorite
among the "hosier poets poems was
"When the Frost Is on the Pumpkin, !"
and then be exclaimed that it was "Ri-
ley, the Hoosier poet.
"Oh, you Americans have such a
queer way of pronouncing things" said
the woman.
"Yes, but Mr.. Riley is not a hosier'
he is''- began the Philistine.
But she cut the explanation short
with, "Oh, I see! 1t is a joke, then.
You Americans are so funny. I suppose
you think Mr.. Riley is bluestocking,
and so you call him hosier.'

Stylish Evening Bodice.

The simplest and perhaps the most
fashionable bodice for evening wear,
says New York fashion authority, is
the full blouse shape Of chiffon, droop-
ing over a fitted silk lining, the top cut
out in square or rounding fashion, with
a full tulle ruche, narrow band OF
fur, fall of lace or beaded revers to
finish the edge. The sleeves consist OF
short, full pufs similarly trimmed.
This is basis for any kind of flower
trimming that taste suggests. Rows OF
shaded pink roses devoid Of foliage are
in great use on evening gowns this win
ter, as are maidenhair fern and lilac
sprays, laid upon strands Of pink or Or
ange satin ribbon not more than an inch
and q half wide.

Short on Fingers; Long on Sense.

We are becoming an optimist more
and more all the time. We have come
to the conclusion that nearly every
thing that happens, though it cannot be
seen at the time, is for the best. About
20 years ago when we were stealing q
ride on O binder we got to poking wheat
straws in the cogwheels to see them cut
the heads off. Somehow the machine
caught one Of our index fingers and cut
it off at the first joint. All these years
have passed and we have just found out
what that stub of finger is good Tor.
It comes handy to teething baby, there
being no nail on it to cut the baby's
