France is reported to hold the Euro
pean record for dogs. 1t is stated that
it contains no less than 1865, 900 dogs
that are registered. Not only are there
more dogs in France than in any other
country in Europe, but there is also q
greater number per thousand inhabit-
ants than in any other European coun-
try. France has Is dogs to every thou
sand of its inhabitants. Then follow
Ireland with IS, England with IS, Ger
many with 81 and Sweden with IL. It
is very satisfactory to find that socie-
ties for the protection of dogs are on
the increase. Such societies do a noble
work, and they ere deserving of every
encouragement.-Pa Messenger.

American Cottons in Madagascar.

Consul Gibbs of Tamatave writes:
ia Delacre of Tamatave invites cor
respondence with manufacturers or
agents in reference to American cotton
cloths, especially the marks SO well
known in Madagascar-'Cabot' and
Massachusetts, This request is sig
nificant, inasmuch as Mr.. Delacre has
long been one Of the largest importers
of French cotton here. Now that
American cotton may be imported and
sold cheaper in Madagascar than French
cottons, despite the heavs duties. am
Of the opinion that the time is not far
distant when American cottons will
capture This market again. To avoid
delay, Mr.. Delacre requests that all de-
tails as well as sample of cottons be
sent to him"

DEMAND FOR PoTTED TREES.
A Cfttned Kind of Nature That II
Growing Popular in New
York.

Some Of the small trees which have
disappeared from the sidewalks of
New York are beginning to reappear
in slightly modified form on the
stoops and balconies of the houses,
says the Post of that city. Anyone
who wanders around much in the re-
gion Of upper Fifth avenue must have
noticed how many little cone-shaped
evergreen trees in tubs were popping
out everywhere on door steps and bal
comics, and inside yestibules. These
small trees have a certain attractive
resemblance to those smaller ever
green ones that. planted firmly on
their round brown standards, gave
welcome shade to the Dutch villages
and wooden soldiers of past and
youthful period.
a few years ago many of the houses
with pansies and bright flowers, but
that attractive fashion seems to have
died out, and is being replaced to a
certain extent by these little trees.
When window boxes were in fashion
people kept their houses open until the
middle of Jane. Now that so many peo-
pie leave town in May there is no OBJ
ject in putting flowers in the windows
to bloom after the house has been shut
up. so that these trees. which are as
green and picturesque in November
as in April, seem 10 be having things
all their ownway. They represent a
thoroughly conventional and ci;ified
kind of nature. always in place, and
perfectly appropriate anywhere but
in the country.

Mans Social Standing In tn. West.

The majority of Western men are out
Of their element, says w. d. Lyman in
the April Atlantic, in anything except
business and politics. The wife usually
acts as head of the family in allmanner
of social and religious crisis. as inviting
. ministerial guest TO ask blessing at
table or conduct family worship, while
the masculine partner slouches around
at such times in hulking and uncom-
Portable consciousness of his own lack
Of piety and polish. That solemn sense
of his own dignity as head of the house.
that shrinking difference paid him by
the weaker vessels of his family,
which magnifies the pater familias in
England, and to some degree in the
old-fashioned New England community
this never lightens up the pathway Of
the average Western householder. He
may consider himself in great luck If
he is not discrowned entirely.
