Once 1t Is established that the nature
Of the species Is gentle and that every
dog Is a hw-abiding and peaceable
Bruno, then it becomes necessary, be-
fore liability for the vulgar transgres-
sions Of a fierce Towser can be fasten-
cd on the owner, that he should have
previous knowledge Of the unusual and
t-to-be-expected feature.
This Is called scienter and until an
owner has this knowledge Of his dogs
viciousness he Is not responsible,
though in the error Of its ways not act
ing as becomes a gentleman Of the dog
species, or lady, as the case may be.
To be more accurate and exact, once a
dog had departed from the narrow
path OF rectitude and demeaned itself
In ways other than should obtain with
a strictly proper and gentle animal,
and the owner knows Of 1t, then 1t
loses status and caste, and must be put
down as a vicious animal, and the
owner keeps 1t at his peril. Lord Cole
ridge, it seems, was anxious to reduce
the law on the subject to q nicely In
the way of succinctness and brevity,
and he succeeded by saying that
EVERY dog is entitled to one bite" and
the case has special reference to Spring
lamb or veal. The expression Is varied
by making 1t livery dog Is entitled to
one worry"

MODERN ARMY SURGERY.

For Good Reasons the Work of the Surgeon
There seems to ne a misapprehen-
sion on the part Of good many per-
sons as to the modern medical service
of the army" said an army surgeon
who had been detailed for the Porto
Rico campaign. There is no sort of
doubt that there is general misun-
derstanding Of what is required of
surgeon in time of battle. Many COM
plants have been made of lack OF
prompt surgical attention to the
wounded at Santiago and an absence
Of system. It is asserted that there
were not enough, II ary, litter bearers.
except the Red Cross volunteers, and
few, If any, ambulances; that the
wounded had to make their way unaid-
ed to the rear or else be carried by
able-bodied comrades who were needed
In the ranks. There may be truth in
these charges, but IL there is the blame
should not be laid on the medical au-
thorities in Washington. Nothing
COulu Do UellcT Cudu tue System uo-
vised by them, and If there was failure
at Santiago the surgical staff there
must be held to account. For tho
division hospital per cent. of the en-
listed force Is detailed. The able
bodied men thus taken from the ranks
are subjected to severe discipline, are
thoroughly drilled and have absolute
and entire charge Of the wounded from
the moment they fall until they pass
into the hands of the surgeons In the
hospital. These men are provided with
stretchers and are expected to keep
close on the heels Of the advancing
line to pick up the wounded.
"The complaint that there was no
surgical attention on the field Is based
on a Misunderstanding. For good rea-
sons the work Of the surgeon does not
begin until the wounded are brought to
the hospital. This hospital must be
outside the range Of bullets and shells
and far enough in the rear to be secure
against demolition or injury In a mo-
mentary retreat"

Changes in Royal Titles.

An interesting writer has lately
pointed out that the children Of Prince
Arthur, the only son Of the Duke of
Connaught, who is himself third son Of
the queen, will no longer be Royal
Highnesses," but merely mobiles; and
should these children have children
they will be obliged to content them
selves with the commonplace prefix
"Mr." 1t is this fact that has induced
the queen to issue letters patent, under
the seal, declaring that the children Of
the eldest son OF the Prince Of Wales
shall have, and at all times hold and
enjoy the style, title or attribute OF
Royal Highness." Hitherto these
children of the Duke Of York had no
right to being so termed. They were
Just plain princes, and their children
would fare no better than their cOu-
sins Of Connaught. This state Of af-
fairs results from the queen living to
see three generations OF her direct
heirs, and 1t doubtless set her to think
ing how Grandpapa Wales would like
having an untitled great-grandson.
with ne place In the royal procession.
Until the issue Of these letters patent,
little Eddie, David and Baby Victoria
were nothing but commoners in the
eyes Of the law. 1t seems odd to
Americans that this decree OF the
queens should have lifted quite
weight from the Wales and Yorks'
hearts; but what say the Connaughts
to being left out in the cold with their
plain "Your Grace" ard "Mr?" They
haven't been benefited, and what Is
to become to them a hundred years
hence3

A Good Definition.

To confuse witness Is generally an
easy task and lawyers know no easier
way than to make q witness explain
the meaning Of his words, knowing
that very few people can do so with
out getting excited. Occasionally, a
victim resents nagging and answers
In a spirited and unexpected manner.
A lawyer was cross examining Q
young girl Of rather naughty temper.
She had testified that she had seen
the defendant shy" book at the
plaintiff, and the lawyer had seized
on the word.
"Shy-shy a book? What do you
mean by that? Will you explain to
the court what the werd shy
means?"
The girl leaned over the desk be-
meath the witness box, picked up q
law book and threw 1t at the lawyers
head, who lodged just in time.
II think the court now understands
the meaning Of the word Shy" said
the judge, gravely, and the girl was

BUILD BALCONIES
A Good Suggestion to Owners Of Apart
mont Houses.

A Good Suggestion t. Owners OF Apart
mont Houses.
Why are not all apartment houses
furnished with balconies? A man that
owns or rents house can cit on the
doorstep and enjoy the cool OF the
evening; but what boon a balcony
would be to those that are now stifled
In fats.
The poets are with you. When Tom
Clinch rode stately through London
streets to be hanged,
The maids to the doors and balconies
ran,
And said, Lack-a-day! he's a proper
young man.
The loving wife Of Mr.. John Gilpin
spied him from a balcony. Byron
compared Venetian danes leaning
over the balcony" to Venuses of Titan.
There are instances galore. o balco-
MES, guitars, serenades, the fall Of
handkerchief or rose, stock incidents
Of operetta! And it is indeed q Joy to
smoke peacefully thus suspended In
air after sundown, dropping matches
or tobacco ash on those passing under.
Then the close presence Of the adored
ono in the dusk; with murmurous
conversation, with the sense of isola-
ton!
But there are coarse, prosaic men In
petty authority who look askew at bal
comics save for purposes Of revenue.
Thus at Munster in Westphalia the
town council has decided to put tax
on balconies-s50 for those which pro-
ject beyond the walls, and $12.50 for
those that are less ambitious. 1.-THE
Council has decided that the balcony
is frivolous, lends itself to idle gazing,
q spirit Of criticism, and tendency to
impractical filtration" This sounds
as though 1t came from the Connecti-
cut of earlier years. But our friend
the Classical Scholars assures US that
the owner OF the first balcony built In
ancient Rome taxed personally his ten
ants. "Maenius," a Roman citizen, let
his house to the censors, Cato and
Flaccus. He then built out a balcony
and came into personal residence there,
In order to keep an eye on them"
