DOGS REALLY LOVE MUSIC.
Their whining and Rowling Are
said 20 BE Signs of Genuine
Enjoyment.

The old idea held by many that mu-
steal sounds are discordant TO the ears
of dogs and other animals is so easily
disproveD that there can scarcely be
found the slightest apology for Its
persistent continuance. The fact that
the ringing Of church bells invariably
causes every dog in a village to set up
howl has given rise to the deep-root-
ed fiction that the sound causes in
tense discomfort, says the Baltimore
Sun.
Not only dogs, but other animals,
show in no mistakable way their de-
light in the sound of musical instru-
ments or other musical notes, whether
from the throat Of the church bell or
from other similar sources.
Robert Wickes, one of the most ar
dent lovers of dogs in Kent, who con-
stantly keeps a large kennel of fox
hounds, water dogs and diminutive
pets, several years ago delighted WIS.,
itors to his home with what he termed
his canine orchestra" Provided with
an accordion, violin and several 9TH
er instruments, the members of Mr..
Wickes' household would commence
an enlivening air in the dining-room OF
bis home. Immediately the dogs
would crawl to the door of his kitch-
en- and set up their whines of approval,
OF even delight. When admitted into
the room they would crowd around the
players and indulge in most novel
performance until either they were
tired out or the musicians were forced
tosuspend playing from mere eXhaus-
ton. Their whining was solemn when
some dragging air Yves played, but a
veritable bedlam was reached when
the quick land devilish" strains of the
"Fisher's Hornpipe" were played.
That their sensations were those Of
pleasure and not OF discomfort was
Enthusiastically shown by the fact that
they could scarcely be forced from the
room as long as the music continued

There is reason, too. TO believe that

TRAGEDIES AvERTED.
Projected Murders and Robberies
Prevented by the Interv ention
of Small Things.

Public opinion cites some cases in
which tragedies were prevented by
unforeseen accidents.
A man who had planned murder in
railway carriage, cunningly timing
his attack for the moment when the
train was passing no station and when
no other train was expected to be in
the vicinity, carried out part of the
programme to perfection. His hand
was on his victims throat, and all
should have gone well, when shout
arrested his attention, the train
slowed up, and he found himself a
prisoner.
A local Special" put ON at busy
junction, was the cause of his failure.
The express had overhauled the slow
er train, and the moment of passing
had been the moment chosen by the
murderer. The deed was witnessed
and the express stopped.
A party of desperadoes having de.
termined to rob a train, CREASED the
rails on a steep incline that ran
through q cutting. They were defeat.
ed by the small accident of the bank
giving way beneath the feet Of two of
their number, who stood waiting on
the edge, ready to fire on the driver Of
the locomotive below. The earth that
gave way beneath their feet fell upon
the rails, and enabled the engine to
keep going until the top of the rise
was reached.
A banana rind once averted an ex-
plosion planned by anarchists. Pro-
ceeding on a fete day to the spot Sc
lected, the man who was carrying the
bomb stepped on the piece of fruit
skin. He fell with such force that the
bomb at once exploded, and he himself
was the only person killed.
A wooden penholder, stuck behind a
bankclerk's ear, caught in the hammer
OF revolver held close to his head by
robber, and prevented the weapon
from going off. The robber took
fright and decamped.
Rice SnIad.
Two cupfuls Of boiled rice, one cup
full of red beets boiled and chopped
fine, one cupful of celery cut fine mix
together lightly, adding pinch of
salt and a dash of cayenne Serve with
any dressing desired, using a little

FIsH-sALT WATER AND FRESH.
BY Barbara Sadler.


The real fish season is with us again.
We of course get fish in winter, both
from salt and fresh water, but in al
most all cases the firmness of flesh and
dclicacy of flavor is partially, at least,
gone. This is due largely to the fact
that the fish has been fS,zen. A fish
may be iced, if it is properly done, and
not much injured, but VIA thoroughly
frozen all fish is of less value ms food.
or course it is needless for me to say
that the quicker fish is cooked after
he has come from the water. the better,
but | may suggest that when once out
of the water and dead he should be
kept out in most cases Wipe rather
than wash fish whenever it is posi-
bic. The washing may destroy the fla
vor wiping never does.
But If you are to cook fish with
thick, oily skin, like lake trout for in
stance, it is most desirable to get rid OF
all the oily taste and to do this scald
the outside of the fish before it is
dressed. Pour boiling water on the fish
as YOU hold it up by the head. Scrape
down with a steel knife and you will
get rid of much that is undesirable.
One thing more before calling your
attention to several recipes: Don't have
your pan fish cut too thick. All fish
must be well done and If too thick it
will not cook through without spelling
the outside.
