Courage of wild DOGS.

The whole tribe Of wild dogs, which
in closely allied forms are to be found
in the widest jungles and woods Of
Asia, from the Himalayas to Ceylon
and from China to the Taurus-unless
the golden wolves" of the Roman en-
pire are now extinct in the forests of
Asia Minor-show an individual and
corporate courage which entities them
to a high place among the most dar-
ing of wild creatures. The "red dogs"
to give them their most characteristic
name, are neither large in size nor do
they assemble in large packs. Those
which have been from time to time
measured and described seem to aver
age some three feet in length from the
nose to the root of the tail.
The pack seldom numbers more than
nine or ten, yet there is sufficient evil
dence that they are willing and able to
destroy any creature that inhabits the
jungle, except the adult elephant and
perhaps the rhinoceros, creatures
whose great size and leathery hide
make them almost invulnerable to such
enemies as dogs.-London Spectator.

Underground waters.

The earth contains an abundance of
water, even in places like some of our
great western plateaus where the sur
face is comparatively arid. The great
est depth at which underground water
can exist is estimated to be about six
miles. Below that, it is believed, the
cavities and pores of the rock are COM
pletely closed The amount Of water
in the earth's crust is reckoned at
nearly third Of that contained in the
oceans, so that it would cover the
whole surface Of the globe to a depth
of from 5000 to $500 feet. The waters
underground flow horizontally after
sinking below the unsaturated zone of
the rocks, but in the sands of the Da-
kota formation, which supply remark
able artesian wells, the motion does
not exceed one or two miles a year.
The underfiow toward the sea beneath
the great plains may sometimes take
the form of broad streams or moving
sheets of water, but the movement is
excessively slow.-Youth's Companion.

A Custom of the Balkans.

He or she who enters house for the
first time is supposed in the Balkan
countries to bring it good or bad luck
for the whole twelvemonth. This be-
lief gives rise to a curious observance.
The visitor before crossing the thresh-
old picks up stone token of strength
or green twig (emblem Of health and
fruitfulness) and lays it on the hearth.
He also brings with him some grains
of salt, which he casts into the flames,
and then, squatting by the Preside,
wishes his hosts "a prosperous year, a
plentiful crop and many blessings"
Then as the grains of salt burst and
crackle in the fire he utters the follow
ing quaint formula: GAS am sitting
even so may sit the hen and warm the
eggs. As this salt splits even so may
split the eggs of the clucking hen and
the chickens come forth"

A book by Captain Markham of the
British army tells of experiences in
Westminster school, London, some
thing over half century ago. He de-
scribes the landings of those days.
The back of the hand was extended,
while the master, standing behind,
smote it with rod, which "curled over
q little and left cut, and the culprit,
facing the school, observed the ETH
Quette of the occasion by wearing an
expression of "scornful amusement"
Captain Markham also describes ''tan-
ming" which was administered with
the butt end of rod upon the backs Of
the boys legs. He recalls the code Of
honor, which was merciless to the boy
who broke his word or allowed another
to suffer for his offense, but permitted
"any amount of humbugging of a mas
ter" When disincllned for school you
said, II don't feel very we'll, SIR" and
before the master inspected your
tongue you gave ''the upper surface a
hard pressure with your upper teeth,
and out came tongue white enough to
satisfy any DOCTOR"

Indians Have Hard Teeth.

81 don't care for Indians as patients"
said dentist the other day. 'No; it
isn't that they are Objectionable per-
sonally; it is just because there is no
money to be made out Of them at regu-
lar rates. The hardness of an Indians
tooth is something to marvel at, and
if had many of them to treat should
be forced to have instruments of un-
usual strength made to order. The
ordinary kind won't stand the pressure.

twenty drills. There isn't much money

Many people to this day have a SUI
perstitious dread Of wearing opals, be-
cause they really believe i'll luck is at
tached to this beautiful stone. Three
centuries ago the opal was an exceed
ingly fashionable gem, and the Italian
goldsmiths particularly favored It's use
for their most exquisite settings.
The opal was at the height Of it's pop
ularity when the plague broke out in
Venice. Some especially observant in
dividual discovered that when plague
stricken sufferer was at the point of
death the opal, if he wore one, would
grow brighter, and after his death it
would grow dull. The reason for this
appears to have been that the burning
fever warmed the stone and that after
death the damp and chill of the body
dulled 1t. But many deduced from this
a belief that it was the opal that had
brought death and misfortune, and
with the spread Of this superstition the
opal declined in popular favor.
Many persons would on no account
whatever even ACCEPT one as a gift,
much less wear what they foolishly
deem the unlucky opal-New York

Happiness.

We are forever children, When W,
aRe infants we cry for the moon; when
we are grown up we cry for happiness.
Axsd we always cry for the wrong
JNSng because we never know what is
Sused for us. 1t is mans lot to mis-
Szke his wants and to be disappointed.
K is his purpose in life always to
gEzsp for the useless thing, to strive
Galr that which has no merit, to hope
fsac that which perishes as soon as he
Isz1ds 1t in his hands. We have our
f1Gal of happiness, but we endeavor
h6a realize it in ways which are not
good for us.
Happiness. as we perceive it in this
arrestrial sphere, is saddening iilu-
EEipn. 1t never lasts. because 1t cannot.
q never satisfies, because ii is not made
- satisfy. The land of Ell Dorado for
1xer remains east of the sun and west
Gf the moon-that is. nowhere. 1t is
Ghe fatal inorganic, the mirage Of the
desert of life. Happiness remains
happiness while 1t is an illusion. Nor
snlity is not made to hold and to enjoy
L. 1t is mortality's lot to chase jack
q anterns-to cry for the moon,
which cannot be obtained because 1t
RRngs so high up in the heavens.-Val-

The Last of the Riffs.

In 1862 the rage for ruffs, such as are
sesa on many monumental efigies, be-
gan to decline A writer in the Lon
zan Chronicle of that year says of gen.
gaEmen's dress, Their cuffs entirely
szsver their wrists, and only the edges
N their ruffies are to be SEEN"
1t is said that a distaste for ruffs
was first created so far back as 1913,
when woman named Turner wore
them on her trial for the murder by
1aison of Sir Thomas Overbury. The
French revolution of 1889 much influ-
enced British fashion, and the pictur-
esQue cooked hat and ruff1es then gave
way generally to round hats and small
cuffs.
The period of their final disuse can
not be easily determined, as men of old
fashioned or eccentric habits have
worn ruffied shirt fronts within quite
Dcent memory similar to those which,
according to Planche's History of
British Costume" originated in the
seventeenth century.

There is more Catarrh in this Sec
tion of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the
last few years it was supposed to be
incurable. For d great many years
doctors pronounced it a local disease
and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, prounced it incur
able. Science has proven catarrh to
be constitutional disease and there
fore requires constitutional treat
ment. Halls Catarrh Cure, manu-
featured by T. J. Cheney & Co.,
Toledo, Ohio, is the only constltu-
tional cure on the market. It is
taken internally in doses from ten
drops to teaspoonfull. 1t acts direct

dred dollars for any case it fails to
cure. Send for circulars and testi-

why Men Eat Too Much.

Eating is the greatest of all our
standard amusements. a great num-
Der of people obviously eat great
deal more than they need, and it is en-
tirely credible that large proportion
of the moderate eaters might thrive as
well and look as handsome and work
as hard and live as long on a very
much restricted diet. But would the
joy of life continue unimpaired for
them? The native born might raise
plenty Of children If they could SUBJ
sist for II cents day. but would they
think life was worth living on IL cents
worth of food a day? No, they
wouldn't. That is one thing that ails
them.-Harper's.

That the advance preparation Of
speeches will not always conform to
circumstances was made evident dur
ing a flag raising at public school.
The young orator had been speaking
for several minutes when he advanced
to the front of the platform, raised his
hand with dramatic gesture to the
flag on the staff above him and shouted:
"See yon flag throwing its protecting
folds to the breeze of freedom!"
1t was a pretty sentiment, but the
breeze didn't bear out the picture.
The flag, to which all eyes were imme-
diately turned, hung as limp as If it
had been dipped in water.
