New York Evening Sun.-The
strange friendships that sometimes ex-
ist between animals that are by nature
enemies have a new variation in the
deep attachment between a dog and a
chicken. The dog had belonged to a
certain family in city days before the
suburbs were in its plan. Afterward
the attempt to raise chickens was idle
because of his serious objections that
were made plain whenever a stray
chicken crossed his path, unless that
one happened to be the little bantam
hen Finally all the others were dis
posed of, and the two odd companions
continued to spend their time together.
The little hen sits in perfect quiet
while the dog ticks her feathers, or she
perches on his back while he walks.
At night he stays by preference in the
chicken house and the bantam perches
beside him

lguish, almost from birth, three cries

'ercises his lungs, the fretting of mod
crate discomfort, and the acute cry OF
pain, the latter two including at first
hunger, thirst, and dissatisfaction.
By the end Of three months the nurse
or mother should be able to distin-
guish the fretting OF actual physical
discomfort from that of restlessness,
and the sharp cry of pain from the
Jess acute announcement Of thirst,
hunger, ETC., while anger imparts a
characteristic quality to the cry. II

Electricity and Foliage.

An extraordinary phenomenon has
been noticed with regard TO chestnut
trees in a street in Brussels since the
installation Of the electric tram cars.
The foliage begins to turn brown and
drop early in August, to bud and even
blossom again in October. The trees
on the opposite side of the tramway
behave like ordinary trees, for they
lose their foliage in the late autumn
and do not put forth fresh blossoms
until spring. Botanists are inclined
to believe that this singular state of
things is due to the leakage of the
electrical current at places under
ground acting upon the roots Of the
trees, which are otherwise healthy.

Louisiana Rice Is Red.

The rice planters and millers OF
Southwestern Louisiana are having
some trouble with the crop this season.
For some unaccountable reason a con-
siderable percentage Of it is red. This
is not the first season that red grains
have appeared among the white, to be
sure, but never before has the proper
ton been so large. An examination
by chemists has shown that the red
rice is equally nutritious as white.
The value of the article as matter OF
food is not in the least injured by the
red grains But the fact remains that
the colored grains iniure the sale OF
the rice they appear in.

According to the Medical Record,
fair-haired people possess commonly
between 14O 900 and 100000 hairs on
the scalp, the number being about the
same for man and woman. Dark
haired people have on average los, 900.
while red-haired people are said to
have only 10000 hairs. But the latter
apparently possess one great advan-
tage in the fact that they retain their
hair better, seldom becoming bald.

Smallpox In spokaue.

Washington, Jan. 29.-The United
States officials, when they learned of
the prevalence of smallpox at Spokane,
directed that all mail leaving that
place should be disinfected, but as the
disease has not appeared between
Spokane and the Canadian border it is
not deemed necessary to fumigate the
mail after it leaves the infected city.
But few postofices on the coast are
permanently provided with disinfec-
ton apparatus, so the order could not
be put into immediate effect.

Last years statistics show that the
population of London is 4,484,717. For
every 1000 inhabitants there were
thirty births and III deaths. The
number of infants who died in their
first year was 158 for every 1000
births. During the period extending
from 1887 to 1896 the mortality was
lower than in Paris, Brussels, Amster-
