THE DOGS TAIL.
It's Language In the Chase and When
the Animal Is Pleased.

In the case of all bunting dogs, such
as foxhounds or wolves, which pack to-
gether, the tail is carried aloft and is
very free in movement. 1t is also fire.
quently rendered more conspicuous by
the tip being white, and this is almost
invariably the case when the hounds
are Of mixed color. When ranging the
long grass of the prairie or jungle, the
raised tips of the tail would often be
all that an individual member of the
band would see of its fellows.
There is no doubt that hounds habit
ualy watch the tails of those in front
of them when drawing a covert. If a
faint drag is detected suggestive of the
presence of a fox, but scarcely suffi-
cient to be sworn to vocally, the tail of
the finder is at once set in motion, and
the warmer the scent the quicker does
it wag. Others, seeing the signal,
quickly join the first, and there is an
assemblage of waving tails before even
the least whimper is heard.
Should the drag prove a doubtful one,
the hounds separate again, and the
NdNluS CcttScS, Dul IL IL STOWS stronger
when followed up the wagging be-
comes more and more emphatic until
one after another the animals begin to
whine and give tongue and stream off
in Indian file along the line of scent.
When the pack is in full cry upon a
strong scent, the tails cease to wave,
but are carried aloft in full view. The
moment when the dog most enjoys life
Is the moment when he sights game.
That moment is the time when he
wags his tail most vigorously in order
to announce his discovery to his fellow
dogs.
In this way, by the habit of associa-
tion, he got to wagging his tail when
ever he was pleased. The more pleased
he is the more vigorously he wags his
tail. so that the waggng of a dogs tail
under pleasurable emotions can be
traced directly to the time when the
dog used his tail as a signal Of the dis.
covery of his prey.-D. Provan in Scot.

Fans in Shakespeare's time seem to
have been composed of ostrich and 9TH

tlemen carried fans in those days, and
in one of the later figures of the ger

to an old manuscript in the Ashmolean
museum, Sir Edward Cole rode the cir
cult with prodigous fan, which had a
long stick, with which he corrected his

THE LIMIT WAS REACHED.
What Pat Got When He Asked For
a Raise In salary

"a AaAHC III SthIdTy.
A story was often told by the late
Charles L. Tiffany of an importunate
Irishman who for many years had been
employed as q window washer. His
pay had been raised quite as often as
was consistent with the dignity of his
position, but he seemed always hungry
| Tor probably thirsty for more. At
length the firm decided that the limit
was reached. Not so Pat Going one
morning to the inner sanctuary, he
sought audience with Mr.. Tiffany.
Good mornin', Mr.. Tiffany" he COM
menced artfully, seeking to preface his
errand by disinterested conversation.
Good morning, Patrick" was the
answer.
"And how are ye this mornin', Mr..
Tiffany?
Quite well, thank you, Patrick"
"And how are your wife and fami-
Typ
Quite WELL thank you, Patrick But

so distinguished house as that of Tiff
fany & Co. for twenty-five years. That,
with what we have already done for
you, should be sufficient. Good morn

Good mornin', Mr.. Tiffany"
Realizing the futility of further
words, he left the room. Reaching the
outer office, he was hailed by chorus
from the boys" to whom his period
ical pilgrimages had become a standing
joke:

the poem about two years ago and e1

and thus their acquaintance begar
His "Washerwoman's Song'' has az
quired considerable celebrity and is q
follows:
In very humble cot,
In rather quiet spot,
In the suds and in the soap,
Works woman full of hope;
Working, singing, all alone,
In sort of undertone;
"With the Savior for a friend,
He will keep me to the end"
Sometimes happening along,
had heard the semi-song,
And often used to smile,
More in sympathy than guile,
But | never said word
In regard to what heard,
AS she sang about her friend
Who would keep her to the end.
Not in sorrow nor in glee,
Working all day long was she,
AS her children, three or four,
Played around her on the floor;
But in monotones the song
She was humming all day long;
"With the Savior for a friend,
He will keep me to the end"
It's a,song do not sing,
For | scarce believe thing
Of the stories that are told
OF the miracles of old;
But | know that her belief
Is the anodyne of grief,
And will always be friend
That will keep her to the end.
Just trifie lonesome she,
Just as poor as poor could be;
But her spirits always rose,
Like the bubbles in the clothes,
And, though widowed and alone,
Cheered her with the monotone,
Of Savior and friend
Who would keep her to the end.
I have seen her rub and scrub
On the washboard in the tub,
While the baby, sopped in suds,
Rolled and tumbled in the duds,
Or was padding in the pools
With old scissors stuck in spools:
She still humming of her friend
Who would keep her to the end.
Human hopes and human creeds
Have their root in human needs;
And | should not wish to strip
From that washerwoman's lips
Any song that she can sing,
Any hope that song can bring,
For the woman has a friend
Who will keep her to the end.
