without any hesitation he positively
declined to do business.

1t is said by some authorities that
the honeymoon, or month after mar
rage, takes its sweet sounding title
from a practice of the ancient Teutons,
who drank honey wine ClydromeD for
thirty days after wedding.
A far more simple and direct deriva-
ton is found In associations common
to many times and people. The words
month and moon have come to us from
one source, the Anglo-SaXOn mona,
which is formed from an old root, ma,
to measure. The moon thus measures
time, and Dryden links it with its
kindred month when he speaks of tone
revolving moon" Honey is an obvious
equivalent for anything enjo! able and
sweet, and Shakespeare attaches it
closely to the tender passion when he
says, ''honeying and making love"
Anthony Trollope has used honey
moon as a verb-"Some decent sort of
body to honeymoon along with me"
and In an old volume of the London
Taller there is an interesting sentence
which clinches the connection between
mocri and NOTWITHSTANDING the par
ties fly a7under even in the midst of

A writer in tracing the ancestry of
the dog to wolf and jackal notices typ
ical differences in the case of their
eyes, their body colors and markings,
the habit of turning around before ly-
ing down and other interesting pecul-
iarities, but he does not mention the
most striking and infallible way of dis
tinguishing them-namely, by tine fash
ion in which they carry their tails.
Wolves and coyotes have a sneaking
way of carrying their tails low, almost
dragging on the ground, while dogs
carry their tails up. and the farther re-
moved they are from the feral type the
higher they carry them. Shepherds
and collies, which retain many of their
racial characteristics, carry their tails
lowest of all; settlers and pointers de-
gree or two higher, stiffening out
straight when drawing on game; ter
riers and hounds elevate their tails to
the spinal line; st. Bernards and New
foundlands affect curve over the
back. while pugs actually come to a
full twist. An old plainsman could
tell wolf or coyote as far as he could
see him. and in buffalo days this was
n most useful indication of buffalo
herds being not far away. These pred
atory creatures always followed NOV
ing herd.-Forest and Stream.
