A New York society dame, who is an ar
dent upholder of the Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Animals, owns little
fox terrier OF which she is exceedingly fond.
A man who called on her the other day was
admiring the dog and asked her mistress
how she, with all her humane theories, could
have allowed the cruel dog fancier to cut off
Snaps tail and ears to the fashionable de-
gree of brevity. The dame drew herself up
and replied, with some hauteur:
MY dear sir, Snap expected it. Every
thoroughbred fox terrier expects to have
his tail and ears shortened" And that
humbled man went away saying TO himself
That's the first time i ever thought OF
'noblesse oblige,' as applying to fox ter
riers. "-Cincinnati Enquirer

Together they climbed the fence and

oUR PHILIPPINE POLICY.

There is certainly no exploitation
of the islands tor our own selfish
benefit. There is no attempt at
Americanizing the natives against
their will. They are to remain Fill
ipinos, with their native creeds and
customs, so far as they desire to
retain the latter in preference to
Others of which they may learn. The
Catholic may remain Catholic, and
the Mahometan may remain Mahom-
etan. There will be protection for
each, but no compulsion for either
And so the wild forebodings of the
Tagal rebels and of their handful of
sympathizers here are pillorled as
sheer fancIes, if not malicious in
ventions. The policy which has been
SO successful in the native states of
the Malay peninsula and in the vast
East Indian empire of the Neither
lands is substantially to be applied
TO our possessions in that quarter.
To say that it will not there meet
with equal success would be to say
that the FilIpinos are harder to deal
with than the Malaccans and Suma-
trans, or that Americans are inferior
in governing capacity to the English
and the Dutch. To neither of those
propositions are the American people
at present inclined to give assent.

The Women of Homer.

Although the women of Athens in
the days of it's glory had a position
which is to-day believed to have been
not merely inferior, but servile and de-
based, yet the earlier women, both OF
what may be called the period Of the
Homeric singer and of the Homeric
listener, were evidently a very superior
order, receiving respect and duty, and
giving a high tone to their social life.
There are but two ignoble women in
all the pages of Homer, Helen and
Clytemnestra; and even to them GER
tain sort of honor was awarded by
those about them All the other wo-
men Of Homer's song were dignified,
gentle, noble, with lofty standards of
morals and behavior, and exerting q
wide and valuable influence. They are
generally characterized by a sweet
courtesy; they have a natural refine
ment; and in all the story that is told
of them we recognize a. warmth of FAM
lily feeling, lofty elegance of manners,
a grace which is hardly excelled by the
manners and habits of the ladies of to-
day.
1t was evident this feeling about mar
riage in ancient days which made the
position of women honorable, gave
them safety, allowed them to cultivate
the graces, lent them an authority and
influence that were forceful, and made
the tale seem real to those who heard
it sung, because there was nothing in
it contrary to their own experience,
We read of it all with a great sense of
naturalness and kinship, feeling that
what is right is so the world over,
and realizing that it is with women
to-day as it was three thousand years
ago; their power and their protection
lie in the obedience and the reverence
thta are given to the sanctity of mar
riage.
1t is interesting to find that years
ago, when all the people who heard
the Homeric songs first sung are dust
blowing on the four winds of heaven,
this institution of marriage, which had
its happy exemplification in the lives,
the singing of which touched all hearts
with kind and familiar finger, should
remain as fixed and solid as the rock,
and that, indeed, among those of our
generation who think the highest and
live the best it is regarded as sacra-
mental in its nature, and not to be
lightly considered, rudely spoken of,
nor carelessly broken.-Harper's Bazaar.
