The Dog In Egypt.

In Egypt the dog was a friend and
faithful servant. He lived in the house
with his master, followed him in his
walks, attended the public ceremonies,
sometimes free. at other times held in
leash by a slave or child or in princely
families by a favorite dwarf. At his
meals he had his place marked under
the benches Of the guests. AS IN
Greece and Rome, he was there to dis
pose of bones, the fragments of meat
and the pieces Of bread that were
thrown down and in a general way to
keep the dining room clean. These were
certainly not very refined fashions, and
if our house dogs had to satisfy them
selves in this way they would be likely
to die of hunger.
The ancients did not feel the delicate
tastes and disgusts in such matters
that we experience. Their life present
ed excessive rehnements and rude fea-
.ures of which we have no idea side by
side. The house dog in Egypt was
domestic, working at his trade, only
his trade was one in which we have
ceased to employ him.

The Cry of the Loon.

The cry of the loon is one Of the
strangest, weirdest sounds in nature.
Those who have heard it can scarcely
wonder that it has so often been woven
into song and legend.
blood red ring hung round the moon,
Hung round the moon. All, me! An, me!
I heard the piping Of the loon,
A wounded loon. All, me!
And yet the eagle feathers rare
r trembling, wove In my braves hair.
Almost all writer's who have attempt
cd TO describe the cry of this bird have
likened it to unmirthful laughter.
Thus Mr. Vernon Bailey, speaking OF
the sound, describes it as follows: On
" on the lonely lake in the heart OF the
woods do you get the startling thrill OF
the looms wild cry-one clear, piercing
note or a long, quavering, demoniacal
laugh that to the tfmid suggests a herd
Of screaming panthers.'

The Tribune has before suggested
the adyisability of the city providing
y rock pile for the employment of
prisoners Mt the city jail, and we still
believe In the feasibility of the propo-
sition. The city team could be en-
ployed to haul rock in and back yard
OF the Jail affords ample room for hay-
ing the rock broken mp. II this had
been done in the past considerable
portion of the streets in the main por-
tion of the city would now be macad-
amized. We think, too, that the pres
ence of rock pile for prisoners
would tend to make the professional
tramp steer clear of the city. This
is merely suggestion to the city
council. and we understand it is
strongly endorsed by the police
magistrate.
