SPOTTED COACH DOGS.
The Breed Has Become Practically
Extinct In This Country.


Extinct In This Country.
What has become Of the old black
and white spotted Dalmatlan dogs,
better known as coach dogs" that
were so numerous and popular
throughout the United States from
1860 to 1882 inclusive? The breed ap-
pears to have become extinc. in this
country, having, like the Newfound-
land, which has shared the same fate,
gone out of style and are no longer
popular. These dogs were white in
color and spotted over every part Of
the body with small black spots the
size Of dime.
They were first brought to England
from the Austrian province of Dalma-
tia, and are still popular to certain
extent in that country, from which the
first specimens were brought to the
United States shortly after the civil
war. One Of the reasons why this dog
disappeared so quickly was no doubt
the fact that he had no particular use
other than to pose as q showy animal
and to trot along by ones carriage or
coach and attract attention by his
striking color and markings. Aside
from this the Dalmatian dog was COM
pletely worthless. He could neither
hunt, serve as 4 watchdog, catch rats,
fight, or do anything else that other
dogs are capable Of doing, and for this
reason, no doubt, he died out.-Wash-
ington Post.

Singing, School For Thrushes.


a writer in Forest and Stream tells
US Of the methods the thrush adopts in
teaching his little ones to sing.
"Find," he says, 90 family Of wood
thrushes and carefully note what takes
place. The old male thrush will sing
the sweet song in loud, clear, futelike
notes once and then stop to listen
while the young birds try to initiate
the song. Some will utter one note,
some two. Some viii utter coarse
note, others sharp note. After awhile
they seem to forget their lesson and
drop out one by one. When all are ST.
lent, the old thrush turns up again,
and the young thrushes repeat their
efforts, and so it goes on for hours.
The young birds do not acquire the
full song the first year, so the lessons
are repeated the following spring. I
take many visitors into the woods to
enjoy the first thrushes' singing school,
and all are convinced that the song Of
the wood thrush is a matter Of educa-
ton pure and simple"

The name Of this comestible is derived

Directions In London.

In London and throughout the tight
little island the words 'up' and
"down" have a peculiar significance.
In going to London from any part Of
England you 60 cup" In travelling in
any direction from the capital you go
"down." So in London itself every
thing goes up if it goes in the direc-
ton Of the bank-that is, the Bank Of
England-and going from that center
toward any Of the points Of the COM
pass is to go down"
The word bank, which is not only
always spelled with a capital ''B," but
is always uttered with an impressive
ness that suggests an initial letter Of
the largest type, may be said to be in
sense interchangeable with city, a
term Of equal dignity and value in the
eyes of Englishmen, and likewise In
variably adorned with capital &C."
The City does not mean London by
any means. It means a certain lin
tied section Of London, the part where
business is mainly carried on and
where the great financial institutions
stand

A MEMORY TEST.
The Act by Which One Controversy
Was Decided.

Was Decided.
Three men were dlsputing in Berlin
one day as to which Of them had the
best memory, and finally they asked
Oskar Blumenthal, a well known writ
er, to decide the matter.
Read me any page Of Goethe's prose
works." said one Of the three, "and l
will at once repeat it word for word"
81 can do better than that said the
second one. Put me in corner OF
this room, and I will play three games
Of chess simultaneously without ever
looking at the boards ~
'That's nothing to what can do"
said the first speaker again. "Begin a
conversation with me now about the
most absurd things possible, and at the
end of an hour will repeat the entire
conversation to you"
The third man was silent, and Blu
menthal said to him: "Why don't you
toll us what you can do? a few min
utes ago you were boasting good deal
of your wonderful memory"
Il know it," was the reply, "but l
did not then know that my two friends
took the matter so seriously. And as
they are so much in earnest will not
try to surpass them, for I cannot for
get that each Of them did me a favor
yesterday"
"Yesterdayw asked BlumenthaL
