Directions In Lon Il on.

In London and throughout the tight
little island the words up and
"down" have n peculiar significance.
In going to London from any part of
England you go up" In travelling In
any direction from the capital you go
down" So In London itself every
thing goes up II 1t goes in the dircc-
tion Of the bank-that Is. the Bank Of
England-nnd 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 n 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. 1t means certain lin
tied section Of London. the part where
business is mainly carried on and
where the great financial institutions

Men, Women and Hats.

The man who brings out Il new hat
almost Invariably remarks when some
body with an investigating turn Of
mind asks him where he got it, how
much it cost. ETC.: "Oh. I've had that
hat for about IL month now. It's far
from being new"
However, the same hat. when care
fully ScrutiniZcd, does not show any
signs of wear and generally looks as
spick and span as when it came from
the packers box. If you question the
owners statement as to the time of
his possession. he will usually tell you
that he has not worn it. but it has
been around the house for at least
thirty days.
A woman is different. When she
gets new bonnet, she Is anxious to
get it properly placed and get out on
the street. If she meets an acuuaint-
ance and words of ecstasy and delight
are not forthcoming. she invariably
gets mad.
Cant you see my new hat! l just
bought it. Amt it sweet? And only
paid $500 for it. The milliner told
me she had held out for $1O5O and re-
duccd the price for my special ben
etit.''

Singing school For Thrushes.

thrushcs and carefully note what takes
place. The old male thrush will sing
the sweet song in loud. clear. tlutelike
notes once and then stop to listen
while the young birds try to initiate
the song Some will utter one note,
some two Some will utter coarse
note. others a sharp note. After awhile
they seem to forget their lesson ana
drop out one by one. When all are 81
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. l

enjoy the first thrushes' singing school,
and all are convinced that the song Of
the wood thrush is n matter of educa-

GOOD ROADS ARGUMENTS.
How Ella Wheeler Wilcox Would

How Ella Wheeler WILCOX Would
Improve Our Highways.
1t appears that Mrs. Wilcox has be.
come a good roads convert in earnest,
mainly instigated by what she saw in
Buffalo in the way Of practical modern
methods of road improvement, says
Good Roads Magazine. The following
nre some of her good roads arguments:
between n bad road and a good

pereeptible between vulgar and refined
society.
I'VE think Of Napoleon as a great
ness in the man was his interest in
building fine roads and in planting
shade trees which he knew he could
not live to enjoy.
"BefOre we build great cities 1t seems
to me we should build good approaches
to them. America delights in con-
structing luxurious railway coaches
more time. labor and money in perfect
ing wagon roads?
ut is great pity that the govern
ment does not appropriate q large sum
of money for the building Of roads all
over the United States and give steady
work to all the army of the unemplOy-
ed throughout the land. II every pris-
on marshaled its inmates in line and
set them to work even three months of
each year upon the public highways,
what double good would result-good
to the travelling public and good to the
unfortunate beings to whom sun and
fresh air are better and more human
like than tracts and sermons.
Every farmer. merchant, railroad
man. vehicle maker, automobile or BIZ
cycle owner. manufacturer or pleasure
seeker ought to sign petition asking
congress 10 take a larger interest in
good roads,"

General Butler on Good Roads.

In an address at the Interstate good
roads convention held in Columbia, ).
c.. recently General Butler strongly ad-
vocated national appropriations for
roadmaking. He believed that If the
government could make appropriations
for rivers and harbors. build the Mica.
raguan canal and give land grants to
assist railroads then it was proper and
right for it to make appropriations for
improving the common highways. Gov
ernor Gambler of Georgia thoroughly
indorsed the good roads movement.
Road improvement. he said. was one
matter which did not receive adequate
attention. 1t was question which
was coming to the front and must be
considered

Good Road. In Massachusetts.

Massachusetts has a permanent high
way commission of three persons
which has charge of the expenditure
of S6oo,Ooo actually for the building
and maintenance of what are called
state roads. and through this plan more
than 800 miles have been built at an
average cost of $4,000 per mile. These
state roads of Massachusetts, are the
finest examples of highways in this
country. and they are equal to most of
the best roads in Europe. The COM
missioners cannot build more than ten
miles of state roads in one county
within a period of six years. The
roads thus built are eventually turned
over to the county, and one-fOurth of
the money spent must be paid by the
county when the highway is finished.

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 Dalmatian dogs,
better known as coach dogs" that
were SO numerous and popular
throughout the United States from
1869 to 1882 inclusive? The breed ap-
pears to have become extinct In this
country, having, like the Newfound-
land, which has shared the same fate,
gone out Of style and are 10 longer
popular. These dogs were white In
color and spotted over every part Of
the body with small black spots the
size of q dime.
They were first brought to England
from the Austrian province OF Dalma-
tia. and are still popular to a 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 ms snowy 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 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-

HE NEVER SPOKE AGAIN.
The Dog That Served the Purpose Of
a VentrilOquist.

Th~ following story is told of n ven-
triloquist, now famous, but at the time
of this happening so hard up he used
to walk between the cities where he
was to appear. On one of these tours
he came to Philadelphia on foot, and
on the road he picked up a miserable
little dog because it looked so much
like he felt" The story will explain
what became of the dog.
The first house he came to was q sa-
loon, and, of course, he wanted drink.
lie had no money, but went in any
how to see what he could do. The
proprietor, German, said:
"Wcll what will you have?'
He said, 'I'll take little whisky"
And then, turning to the dog, he asked:
What will you have"
The answer came very promptly:
"Ill take ham sandwich"
The German was so surprised he al
most tainted. He looked at the dog
moment aud then asked:
"What did you sayT
The dog replied
81 said ham sandwich"
Hans thought it wonderful that
dog should be able to talk and asked
who had trained him, how long it had
taken, etc, and wound up with:
GLOW much you tatS for him?"
"Oh." said Mr.. VentrilOqust. II
wouldn't sell him at any price but
am little hard up now, and if you
will lend me $50 I'll leave him with
you till | bring back the money"
"-All right" said Hans. Il just want
him for little while, so | can show
him to. some smart people l know
around here"
So everything was settled, the money
paid, etc, and as the ventrlOQuist
went out he turned and waved his
hand to the dog and said
"Well, goodby, Jack. I'll come back
SOON"
"YOu mean son of gun, to sell me
for $50 after all I've done for you! So
help me Moses, I'll never speak anOth-
er word as long as l live!"
And he didn't.-Philadelphia Times.
