Decnitful Sheep.

Out at the abattoir the pets" among
the sheep may be distinguished by
their superior height and shapeliness
and by the intelligence of their eX-
preston. The pets are murderers. In
the other pens sheep come and go by
thousands to the slaughter, but the
pets remain. They are trained to lead
their fellows to death and they do this
work we'll, for they have. by reason
of their strength, intelligence and beau.
ty, Il great influence. When the butch.
ers of the abattoir wish to slaughter
a flock Of sheep word is passed to the
pets, and they indifferently, calmly
saunter in among the flock. gain their
confidence and esteem, and then take
their places at their head, and lead
them to the slaughter house. The
blood-stained and murderous pets have
more than one unsheepiike quality.
They eat pretzels and pie aud drink

SHINING n Pearl.

The lapidary was Skinning n pearl.
He had Oh gloves of very deiica te
sort Of kid, and the glasses that he
wore had lenses of such great magni-
flying power that his eyes. through
them, looked as big as saucers. Il
wear gloves" he said. because the
hands perspire freely in this work. and
perSpiration has often been known to
discolor pearls. This stone was injured
by the accidental dropping on it Of
some acid. The disaster discolored it
you see. With this very delicate little
tool l am removing its outer skin, and
it l fiud that the acid has filtered
through and diScolored the inner skin
also l may remove that as we'll. A
pearl, you see is composed of concen-
trio layers. or skins, and you can, If
you are n clever work man. peel it down
and down until it disappears. That
operation, indeed. is often done by the
apprentices of the iapidary trade. They
work on spoiled, worthless pearls. and
the experience is very good for them.
1t teaches them great deal about
the pearls anatomy, ard it gives a
wonderful cunning to their hands. The
pearl is the only precious stone that
can be skinned. To skin it is often the
only way to restore its milky color"

Tho Reckless Dog.

''Did you ever notice that dog will
not wait for a street car to pass II he
wants to cross the street?' asked an
observant man. We'll he never will
do it. He will dash wildly in front OF
the car every time, and very often he
takes his life in his hands. as 1t were,
i'll order to make the crossing. Why 1t
is do not know. but the average dog
will become panic-stricken in way II
a car rolls along at time when he is
anxious to get on the other side of the
street. With a desperate plunge he
will dash in front of the car. In many
instances the car will not miss the dog
the fraction of an inch. ! have talked
to street car men about the matter. and
motormen have assured me that nine
ty-nine out of every 100 dogs will do
this very thing. 1t may be that they
do it just for the excitement of the
thing. Dogs seem to love excitement.
They seem to be particularly fond of
anything that smacks of the chase.
anything that will give them chance
to develop speed and show fleetness OF
foot. We have all noticed how they
will run after and bark at any object
that is in motion l have known dogs
that would run 100 yards or more after
a cloud shadow. or the shadow of a
buzzard, as IT SKINNED along the land
scape. They will run after flying
birds. They will chase anything that
is on the 60 whether the object is ami
mate or inanimate They will run af-
ter wagons. street cars. bicycles. anto-
mobiles or any old thing. and it may
be that this old love of the chase has
something to do with the practice
have been discussing. At any rate.
the average dog win not wait for a
street car to pass if he wants to cross

4 Successful Son of a Poet.

A Governor who was IN experiment
aud has turned out a successful one is
Lord Tennyson. There We're people
who shook their heads over the selec-
ton. They thought his fathers son
must inherit some Of the self-conscious-
ness that is tradition in the Isle
OF Wight, where every sparrow on q
tree was suspected OF having come
from England to view the bard, and
the frog that leaped out of his path
was accused of having swan the At
lantic. The poet lived by mis- popular
pence, take the kicks. Now, one OF Il
Governor chief uses is to show him
self. He is there to be seen. How
then, the people argued, would the
moods and modes of Farringford be
possible at Il Government house? Time
has solved the problem. Lord Tenny
son, going on his far journey, left all
the poets impedimanta behind him.
He was turned upside down--'liter-
ally" and his views of men and things
underwent an answering reversal AS
a result, he is proving himself thor
oughly acceptable: and there are people
in South Australia who think that
Downing street might do many a worse
thing than send Lord Tennyson from
Adelaide to the GoyeInOr-G q eneraT S

Will Collect the Tax.

Commissioner Yerkes of the internal
revenue bureau, has directed that immed-
late steps be taken for the collection of the
tax on profit and loss accounts, or
undivided profit accounts of banks, trust
companies or private bands under the
war revenue act of June 1898. The amount
to be collected will approximate, it is said
SUO0y00O.
Under an opinion of the department. OF
Justice, the tax had only been collected
on the capital aud surplus of banks, but
the commissioner ruled last January that
the undivided profit, or profit and loss
accounts of banks, are part of the surplus
and thereby subject to tax. After this
ruling was made, by request of represen-
~tatives of the banks, the Commissioners
agreed, on January "a, last, to withhold
coll ection pending "a decision by the
United States circuit court in a suit TO be
brought to test the question. This suit
was brought in the southern district Oh
New York by the Leather Manufacturer
National bank of New York and was
decided a few weeks ago adversely to the
banks, the court sustaining the position
taken by the commissioner.

New Mckinley Postal Card.

During the past few weeks there has
been put in circulation a new postal card,
with the portrait of President Mckinley TO
suppiant the lOng-familiar picture of
Thomas Jefferson. So small a number of
postal cards is used, in comparison with
the vast quantities of mail matter gener-
ally, that the recipients of the new cards
are still astOnished at the sight of them,
and pass them around in their offices or
send them to friends in Europe as Curiu.i-
ties.
The new card differs from the old in
almost every way-design, device, color,
size and texture. The old buff color has
given way to a very light shade of gray.
In place of a single vignette-Jefferson
supported by a laurel wreath inclosing
his name-ther re are now two. At the left
is the national eagle, with the words,
United States of America" disposed
above and below it. At the right a profile
portrait shows the left side of Mr.. NcKiH-
ley'3 face. Below it is written, "lSI3-
McKinley-I9Ol." Above appear the words,
