his age. Peter ED Sltihed that lie first
fixed his mind on 4S. but while Bozzie
was barking he betlpught himself that
he was nearer ~ II s., 4s years old, and
SO began quee+ionip9 mentally whether
he should not give hlmSelf the benefit OF

By what process Of mental telegranhy
did this dog read the thoughts OF Peter
or anyone concentrating them on nu-
merals? This Is the question that baf-
des the wisdom of the wisest, and yet
this dog, the victim OF as criminal a
piece of brutality as was ever commit
ted, performed it without hesitation
and without mistake. Bozzie was as
beautiful and gentle as she was gifted
beyond her kind. The disposition and
human intelligence of such an animal
almost makes us question whether, like

Where Lilies Bloom.

Cape Colony, Natal and the Transvaal
are f1ower-decked lands, and many OF
the flowers have perfumes subtle and
refreshing. In Cape Colony, for many
miles between Paarl and Cape Town, the
line Is bordered with so-called pig
lilies Near Ceres there are great
fields full of these snowy whiteblooms
with their orange-yellow pistils.
In Pretoria roses are prolific; in fact
most Of the streets are bounded by rose
hedges throughout their length, and the
flowers bloom for three-quarters OF the
year. The wild orchids of Swaziland
are famous. There are at least 20 diff
ferent kinds, and although they are nc
longer rare or valuable, they are ex.
tremely curious.
Everything grows in the Transvaal
II the trouble is taken to plant it. The
soil being all practically virgin and ma.
turally rich, the smallest amount of at
tention is required, and the results OBJ
tanned in few months are simply mary
elous. A well known English tenor
travelling in the Transvaal, once re-
marked that he believed that if YOU
planted walking sticks you could rear
umbrellas in fortnight.

Salt A1iiance.


Stephen Schultz, In an interesting
book Of travels in the East, says that
1t is not customary among Arabs to
place salt on a common table, but onlv
when an Arab prince enters into an al
lance with a Pasha, which is called
baret-millah, or the salt alliance.
This is done as follows: The Arab
prince, when he wishes to live within
the jurisdiction Of a pasha, sends mes
sengers to him to ask whether he may
dwell in his territory as an ally. II the
pasha consents he sends messengers to
the prince, informing him that they will
meet on such day.
When the day arrives the pasha rides
out to meet the prince in the field which
he has selected for his dwelling. and
conducts him to his own quarters. Then
the Arab prince asks the pasha how
much he is to pay for permission to
dwell in that field. The bargain is soon
concluded, according to the extent of
the Arab encampment
AS soon as the bargain is concluded,
repast is prepared, and a saltcellar,
with some pieces of bread on fiat dish,
is carried around the apartment by the
pasha's servants. The dish is first pre-
sented to the pasha, who takes a piece
of bread, dips it in the salt, and holding
it between two fingers toward the prince
| calls out, "Salaam!" that is, Peace!
I am the friend of your friend and the
enemy of your enemy"
The dish is now presented to the Arab
| prince, who likewise takes a piece of
bread, dips it in the SALT and says to the
pasha, peace! 1 am the friend of your
friend and the enemy of your enemy"
Thereupon the dish with the bread is
handed to the chief men of the Arab
prince and to the ministers of the pasha,
who receive it in the same manner as
! their principles, with the exception that
they simply say, on taking the bread,
"Salaam!"

Why 1t Was Brave.

we read in the Book of Proverbs: "a
soft answer turneth away wrath" It is
also true that witty reply often takes
the edge from an unwelcome criticism
as in the following instance from the
Chicago Post:
A friendly magazine editor was talk
ing In pleasant but critical mood to a
contributor. He said: "It seems to me
you use faulty figure of speech when
you say brave old hearthstone.' How
can hearthstone be brave?"

Hints by May Manton.
Many dainty white waists are shown
for dressy occasions, made of allover
embroidery, inserted tucking in lace
and Hamburg, fine dimities and lawns,
with lacy stripes and other delicate nov
elites for summer wear. AS illustrated
this shirt waist is mounted on a glove
fitted lining of white lawn. The en-
broidery is smooth across the shoulders,
with slight fulness at the waist ar
ranged in tiny plaits. The waist is ad-
justed with shoulder and underarm
seams, having small gathers at the neck
in front. It closes with pearl buttons
and buttonhOles worked through a strip
Of embroidery, which is applied down
the front.
The fashionable collar is shaped with
two points in the back. A frin of en-
broidery is applied at the lower edge
of the correct two-piece sleeve. A fea-
ture of this shirt waist is the basque
portion which Is added at the belt, fits
smoothly over the hips and does away
with the extra. fulness which is some
times Objectionable. In making up ex-
pensive materials this Is also an
economical method, as the basque por-
ton may be cut in plain lawn.
This model may also be used for pique,
madras, cotton cheviot or percale, and
made without lining as illustrated in
the smaller cuts. The shaped collar
may be ommitted in favor of the straight
linen collar and smart cravat which are
so popular at present.
To make the shirt waist in the med
fum size will require two and three
fourths yards Of 36 inch material. The
pattern. No. 1884 is cut in sizes for a
