Biblical Dogs.

The Arabian and Hebrew dogs were
in bad repute, as may be seen from
the sighting way in which Moses and
the prophets speak Of them, CHASING
them constantly with wrong-doers and
outcasts and calling them unclean.
They were considered very different.
however, by the Greeks and Romans.
for the great poet Homer, who wrote
his wonderful epic yer 1000 years
ago. speaks tenderly of a noble dog
who was faithful unto death to his
master, who loved him. There is q
legend Of the dog of the seven sleep
ers. The seyen. noble youths who fell
asleep for 800 years had a dog which
accompanied them to the cavern in
which they were walled up. 1t re.
NAMED standing for the whole time
and neither moved from the spot, ate
drank nor slept. This dog, named Kat.
mir, has been admitted by Mahomei
into Paradise. At least that is what
the Koran says.

SKETCH OF EARLY LIFE OF
SALMON p. CHASE.
ss Awkward . Boy ~ Ever Was
seen ut tho Country Acsdemy In Ohio
Where He studied-Became Chief
Justice. i

About eighty years ago a gawky boy
Of twelve arrived at a country academy
In Ohio. He had been three months
on the road, having come all the way
from New Hampshire. In those days
there were no railways. and it is doubt
full II he could have used one, had it
existed, for he was very poor. His
father was dead, and his uncle, away
on in Ohio wilderness, as 1t was then,
had offered to give him a home II he
would come for it. and he had accept
ed the offer. His uncle was a pioneer
bishop, who kept a school and at the
same time carried ON a farm. Salmon
for that vas the boys queer name
was given the chores to do, and on
holidays and vacation times he worked
upon the farm. One of his schoolmates
says that at that time he was about as
awkward a boy as was eve seen in
place. He was very near-sighted, he
dered, shambling and slouchy in his
appearance and galt that he was a gen.
eral laughing stock. And worse, for
his STOPPING habit had cramped his
lungs, and he was already feeble and
consumptive. There is told of him
about that time a funny story, which
gives an idea of his character. One
day his uncle Vas called away on BUSH
ness, and before starting he told Sal
mon to leave school early enough in
the afternoon to kill and dress a pig.
After much trouble. Salmon caught the
pig and killed it. But now could he get
the hair off? He had heard that the
farmers usually scalded hogs, SO he
heated a kettle of water and soused the
pig in. But the water was too hot, or
the pig wa kept in too long; at any
rate. instead of being loosened, the hair
was set n would not come out at

BRITAIN'S SECRET SERVICE

While the British secret service sys-
tenn as a whole is hopelessly inefh-
Gent, having been brought to that
state by parsimonious Parliaments, in
the matter of spies at foreign courts it
is more successful than the system of
any other nation in the world. To a
nation in England's position Of "splen-
did isolation" it is of the most vital
Importance that her government
should be kept aware of everything inn
portant that occurs, or is likely to oc-
cur, in foreign courts, especially courts
of monarchs whose pledges and assu-
RANGES of good faith cannot be relied
upon implicitly. England has eyes and
ears in every court in Europe, and
rarely are these spies British subjects.
II must have been noticed. for instance,
that Great Britain has frequently of
recent years 'intclligently anticipated"
important moves which were secretly
contemplated by foreign powers. and
slipped in q day or two before. How is
It done? How does the government of
that country learn of the contemplated
moves in time to 'stcal the march,"
Probably no one person upon earth is
aware of the identity of all Great
Britain's spies in foreign courts, and
they do not all come under the control
of any one government. The Foreign
Office Is in touch with the majority of
these valuable servants of the crown;
others are sent Ii by the Indian Gov
eminent. independently of the India
Office. OF these latter the most i'm
portant is the spy whose duty is 20

be crafty as because it is eminently

sible that the post Of spy to tho
Ameer's court has become q sinecure,
for that parsonage appears to realize
on which side his bread is buttered.
But it was not always so; indeed. at
one time the Ameer was "wabbling"
dreadfully, and it vas mainly that the
Indian Government always knew what
cards he played with Russia that he
fell on the east side of the fence. On
one occasion the Indian Government
heard a rumor that the Ameer secretly
was buying arms, and it became the
difficult duty of the spy at Cabul ia
discover If it were true. and whence
the arms were being bought. Shortly
afterwards a Russian officer arrived at
Cabul, presented his credentials, and
was received by the Ameer, from whom
he obtained a large order of arms. on
the understanding that they should be
supplied at less than cost price. the
balance being paid by Russia. The Of
flcer departed laden with valuable
presents. delighted with the success OF
his mission. He took the first Oppor-
tunity OF forwarding the Ameer's order
to the Indian Government and return
ing to his post at the Ameer's Court.
The genuine Russian envoy did not ar
rive until some weeks later. when, in
consequence Of a sharp reprimand
from Calcutta. the Ameer refused to
receive him. The spy, having discov-
cred enough to show him how to act.
had forged his credentials with a cool

Many Women Earn Living by Catering
to Corpses' styles. .
So much time and thought are be-
slowed on the question Of how and
with what shall we clothe the living
that the impression Of fashions for
The dead never comes into our heads,
says the New York Herald. Yet there
are many women earning their daily
bread in New York by catering to the
fashions for those who have passed
into the bourne where it is commonly
supposed there are no dressmakers and
no milliners. All the casket. companies
down in Great Jones street employ
women for no other purpose than to
study the tastes of people in the mat
ter of shrouds. and these women will
tell you that grave clothes fashions
are just az fackle as the fashions of
street clothes or party clothes, or in
fact, any other specially designed
style Of garment. The prevailing
styles are followed closely. If large
sleeves are in fashion in the clothes of

line or h%aircloth, so also is the skirt

trains were so fashionable, there were
few shrouds made that did not have
q long dip in the back. There is only
one radical difference nowadays be-
tween the up-to-date shroud and the
up-to-date gown, and that is that the
former always, opens in the back. To
get rid of old fashioned shrouds is Us
difficult a problem among manufactur-
ers and dealers as it is for the mer-
chant to dispose of out-of-date cloth
ing for those living. 1t is next to i'm
possible. for them to do it, although
such goods are often marked down to
the proverbial song. Indeed, 81 great
is the aversion to an old fashioned
shroud that it is rarely possible to
give one away. People seem to have
an instructive desire to have the last
dress of their departed loved ones
just as up-to-date as it is possible to
make it, irrespective of whether or
not the corpse had been a man or wo-
man addicted to current fashions.
