has the distemper, and is better with
out any exercise Of any kind. The his
tory Of this rare breed is curious. Dogs
Of this particular variety were never
under any circumstances allowed out
side the palace. in Pekin; in fact they
had to be owned by royalty and no
biIity. When very small in size, the
court ladies OF Pekin carried them in
their sleeves; and when there was q
litter born. a coolie was assigned TO
each pup, and he was to answer for
their life and safety with his head
So it was given out, And if any were

A writer in the Athenaeum asserts
that bagpipe music has suffered
greatly through the efforts Of we'll
meaning but mistaken people to lift
it out Of its proper place and graft il
on to city life and its inside enter
tainments." To compare its music
with class al productions is like
comparing 'taties and herring with
wine jellies.' A Chicago jury once
decided that the bagpipe was not a
musical instrument at all. But why
quarrel with a definition? Enough that
it has lived through some bad crises
When that phase of life in which il
was born and brought up passed away
it declined TO be moved into the back
ground. In short, it had the viii TO

cranks and Of congresses. because 1T

nothing could be more ironic than the
fact that the military organization
which did much 10 crush out every
thing that had made it a power should
have been so completely conquered by
it that there are now two-and-twenty
pipe bands in the British army. The
bagpipe has been annexed by some 0!
the native indian regiments, notably
those in the Puniab, and it continue;
to spread there as a great military in

THE AMERIND.

An amerinG is not, as any \ might
be excused for surmising. In East In
dian date in a thin shell. That is a
tamarind. An amerind is not a fruit
at all. 1t is a name invented by the
Anthropological society in Washing
ton. and intended as a substitute for
American Indian. A writer, Mr.. Del
lenbaugh, who has published a book
about The North Americans of Yes
terday," is denounced by a reviewer
of the Evening Post because all
through his book he speaks of Indians
as amerinds. The Posts reviewer thinks
he ought to be ashamed. and there
seems to be due basis for that opinion,
A got-up name like amerind may do
for anthropologists. but it cannot hope
to pass current among real people,
If there is objection to calling our
aborigines Indians because it has
turned i that they don't live in In
dia, the simplest remedy is TO call them
injuns. There is no ambiguity about
injun. Every one knows that it is
American and not AsiaJic. Moreover
it is a word that has come up from

we all know, has a far better chance tc

WHY THIS

The perversity Of things inanimate
is a natural law that should be made
the subject Of research, in MY Opin-
ION" recently remarked an observer
Of the passing show. Coming down
on an electric car this morning l es-
saved 10 light my cigar. The moving
car naturally created a strong breeze.
Four matches. l struck and all were
blown out. From the fifth I managed
10 get a light. when = a behind me
asked me for some fire, l reached the
blazing match to him unprotected. and
while the breeze was just as strong, it
burned steadily until the man lit a
cigarette. and il was still ablaze when
l threw ii over the rail. Such 8 thing,
I venture to say, happens constantly
in the experience OF every smoker. In
deed, 1t is almost a proverb among
| smokers that one can't blow q match
out after he has got a light. Drop a
collar button, and nine times out OF
ten it will get to a place more or less
difficult of access. Let a piece OF but
tered bread fall. and it's pretty sure 10
light on the buttered side. There is no
doubt in the world that inanimate
things are perverse. and I'd certainly
like to know the reason why"
