A DOG SCHOOL.
An Institution I'm Paris Devoted to
Canine Culture.

h AhstitutiOn In Paris Devoted t0
Canine Culture.
From the London Express
In NJ Edward Gillette's school of eti.
uette for dogs in Paris CANNES are trained.
The school room is large square apart-
ment, furnished with few rugs on its poll
ished floor, some chairs and a table or
two. On the school assembling in the
morning the roll is called. The teacher,
looking exceedingly dignihed, taps his desk.
and the dogs Immediately form in line.
Then, in a pleasant but commanding
voice, he calls the dogs names in rota-
ton. each animal being trained to respond
with sharp, quick bark and a wag of the
tail The first lesson after the perform
ance of the regulation discipline is to learn
to welcome visitors. No matter who comes
into the room Unexpectedly, each dog is
taught to greet the newcomer with a low
short bark. The animal must also jump up
and wag Its tail, but must keep far enough
away from the visitor to cause him
no discomfort. Each dog goes through this
performance three times, and returns to
its place in line like a soldier.
If a dog is unruly, it is marched to a
chalr in the corner of the room and made
to crouch on its hind legs beside il and
pray for half an hour. Then the dogs are
taught gallantry. For instance, if you drop
your handkerchief at one end of the room
and an educated dog happens to be at the
other, he will scamper along to pick il up
then come running after you with a low
bark to attract your attention, after which
he surrenders his burden most fastidiously.
The dogs are taught to pick uD anv

Prancing, dainty little steps are taught
the animals for the street, as well as a
deep and profound obeisance. A visitor
to any house where an educated dog is
kept never leaves without the dog follow
ing her to the door either beside or be-
hind its mistress. Then, stretching out tts
fore paws, 1t bends the front part of its
body until its head rests on the floor It

only calls for what there is and turns It
over on the plate and sends 1t away and
calls for more drink. In the afternoon, as
in the evening he drinks punch till he is
speechless, when the boys drag him up
stairs and lay him on the bed. Drunk? He
is drunk all day and all night. He is never
truly sober for an instant"
IF / wanted to speak with him Is there
not an hour in the day when he is less
drunk than at other times?'
II suppose he is sobered at in the morn

down stairs. looking about him for jug

AN expensive guest
well, sir, who is to pay my bill?
You can hardly expect Mrs weyiand to
pay 1t, seeing that the man is entertained
solely on the chance of getting money from
her"
but, sir, If 1 cannot get the bill paid
1 stand to lose large sum-
"A large sum. l fear SO, indeed, unless,
of course, you come to terms with me-"
What may your terms be-" Mr.. Pin
der's expressive countenance had limited
range of expression: 1t might be cunning,
it might be suspicious: it might be threat
ening. 1t had been all three in the course
of their conversation. Now it began again
with SUSPICION.
MY terms are not hard. First of all, the
man must be turned into the street,
IF my bill is paid he goes out in three
minutes Mr.. Pinder made as if he would
waken the sleeper Oliver motioned him
back.
I'VE will come to Your bill afterward. Do
not waken the poor wretch before the time.
Let him go on drinking today. In the
morning, at Z, l will call here and try to
get speech with him.
Certainly, sir; certainly. That can be
done.'
Very good. Now we come to the bill.
Leave out the question of compensation al
together. Let me know the amount you
propose to charge for his drink and main
tenance."
Mr.. Pinder turned over the leaves of his
book Lodging at shilling a night; a
shilling?" He looked at the lawyer. IT
meant two shillngs."
Dear. Very dear But go on
Food. Dinner and supper, at two shil-
lings and sixpence each-food for the most
part spoiled, not eaten. Five shillings a
day. Services of chambermaid, boots, pot
boy. at two shillings a day
Dear. Very dear. But go on
"Drink-ah! there. I fear, you will stick.
Yet the charges at the Grapes are noto-
rious for their moderation. Eight shillings
and sixpence day.
Yes yes, dear, very dear. Is that
all?'

in order to insure his silence, which you
propose to sell to Mrs. Weyland, and to
keep on selling it as long as this man shall

Il don't know, sir, that am obliged to

You are not obliged at all. Keep silence,

You think So You still look to Mrs.

will share with his lordship."
"Well,"Mr Pinder changed countenance-
"of course, my bill will be paid, and there
will be compensation for this poor man."
Go on thinking so. If it makes you

Mrs Weyland will give nothing in COM

A French Claim.

A French Claim.
II has happened that q case analogous to
that Of the Krupp company has brought a
French claim for settlement between Vene-
zuela and France. The Orinoco River Com
pany. holding a contract with Venezuela for
the navigation of the orinoco and the ex-
ploitation of the rubber belt, claimed dam
ages to the amount of S4o0.o00 by reason Of
the political disturbances. The river COM
pany put its claim into the hands OF the
French minister Of foreign affairs for COLI
lection.
He Investigated the case. and came TO
the conclusion the claim was n just one.
On the part of the government OF France.
therefore. he addressed a request 60 the
government of Venezuela for a court of
arbitration. The determination OF the
character of the court is in course OF ad-
Justment. France desires that the judges
of the court be neither Venezuelan nor
French In nationality. Venezuela. because
of the essentially South American condi-
uons surrounding the claim. desires the
court to be composed exclusively OF Nene-
zueleans. The two governments are now
engaged amicably in discussing the for
nation Of the court; and the claim VIII
ultimately be heard. and satisfied according
to international law.
No Hurry About IL.
Venezuela does not refuse to pay tho
German claim. But the republic does re-
fuse to be bullied into payment by the Ger
man empire. The dispute will be settles
in either OF two ways. One way is for tho
German government to accept General
Castros engagement to pay part OF the
S,Ooo,0OO within the next few months, and
to pay the rest as speedily as treasury Will
allow. The other is to insist on payment
at once, and to endeavor to collect by
force. 1t is true, Germany could seize and
hold any Venezuelan port-preferaby that
of La Guayra. But the seizure of La
Guayra would mean that German troops
must keep the peace of the territory they
occupy, and that the Venezuelan govern
ment is under no responsibility for their
protection. The mountains are only GOO
feet from the seashore. The mountaineers

city practically in a state of siege. As q
nation, Germany would feel little apprehen-
