How to Make a Worthless Cur Useful.

From the Saturday Evening POST
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson says
that in Nebraska nowadays the skins Of
superHuous dogs are tanned and made
into gloves-a plan which affords val
liable suggestion, inasmuch as every
large community ills of great numbers
Of ours annually, the hides Of which
might just as we'll be utilized as wasted.
Dogskin, of course. is one Of the bes.
materials for gloves, and for this pur-
pose we import hundreds Of thousands
of dollars worth of canine pelts annu-
ally. In Manchuria and on the border
of Mongolia, where the severe cold de-
velops a beautiful growth Of hair, are
found thousands of fiocks Of young
dogs. There is a great demand for
both dog skins and dog hair in north
ern Asia. A bride in Mongolia or Man.
churia commonly receives number Of
live dogs as wedding presents.

LITERARY NOTES.
A New Romantic Novelist.

The Century company announces the
discovery of new romantic novelist in
a young New Yorker. Miss Bertha Run
kle, whose maiden effort is to be The
Century's leading piece OF fiction for
the next eight months. beginning in the
August number. 1t is described as a
dramatic romance of love and adventure,
and is entitled THE Helmet Of Ma
varre." The scene is Paris during the
siege by Henry Of Navarro, and the &C
ton occupies but four days Of the week
preceding the Sunday when Henry
entered the city to give his adhesion to
the Catholic church and accept its &C.
clesiastical rites-the occasion OF his
saying that Paris was worth a mass.
The story is full of vigorous action, and
the plot is said to be one OF fascinating
interest. Among the characters OF the
story is the king himself. the Duke OF
Mayenne, who commanded the city
during the investment. and hero and
heroine of much attractiveness.

The English Nobility Haven't Done
Much Worth Doing.

Much Worth Doing.
The death Of the Duke Of Argyll has
brought out the falsity Of the assump-
ton that men of hereditary wealth can
be trusted to do the intellectual work
that does not directly pay. And this is
simply because the duke really did
something in that way. According to
Carlyle, the British peerage was in its
origin kind Of gloritied civil service, in
which the titles were certificates Of sue
cess in the most arduous competitive ex-
amirations. Still, according to him.
1.-The merit syetem" broke down in it's
application to the British peerage in the
reign of Charles l. Since then lord
has had nothing to do "as such" except
ito exist beautifully" As the lords
have all the chances Of education that
England affords. and nothing to do but
what they may choose to do. what treas
u,es Of learned leisure and research we
ought to owe to them! The career of
the Duke of Argyll ought not to have
been al exception in his order at all,
but simply an illustration Of the rule.
And yet he was the only duke in Great
Britain who within living memory has
amounted to anything. 1t is true that
the Marquis of Salisbury might have
been a duke il he had not regarded his
marquisate as prouder title than a
new dukedom could furnish. And
doubtless the Marquis of Salisbury
amounts to something. When he was
Lord Robert Cecil, Bagehot said to him
that he was the only member OF the
British aristocracy who had shown the
capacity Of earning bis own living.
This he had had to do for q season, and
had done it in the character Of politi-
cal writer; and there lie no doubt that he
would have made political success il
he had been a commoner. His exist
ence is fully justified. So is that Of
