CHINESE DUPLICITY.

"As soon as we open our mouths a

edge without shame the same of them
selves. 1t may be true among west
ern nations that the affairs of life
hinge upon confidence" but in the
east, especially in China, they hinge
upon suspicion. There are few Chi
nese who attach any importance to
keeping an engagement. Most of them
are like the man who, being accused
Of breaking his promise, replied that
1t was of no consequence, as he could
make another just as good, The Chi
nese say that one should never re.
fuse a request-in an abrupt manner;
on the contrary, he should grant il

to do SO in substance. put him of

tomorrow. Thus you comfort his

A PUPPY'S RAPID GROWTH.
Devours Mrs. Newly-Wed's Breaa
Dough and becomes n Bloated
MOnstrOsity

A few months ago a young man
who IS employed in one Of the rail-
road offices of this city bought IA very
small pointer pup. The dog grew
steadily, but mainly in the head and
legs, having no body to speak of,
relates the Portland Oregonian. The
lady If the household, like many
newly married women, was making a
thorough test of her husbands di-
gestive powers by baking bread for
the family. The pointer pup was now
taking on the appearance of n genu-
inc dog, and put in most of his time
looking for something to eat. He
found Just what he was looking for.
Mrs. Newly-Wed had placed a pan
containing three loaves in the state
Of dough under the kitchen stove
and had gone upstairs for a few min
utes. Like many new bread-makers,
she was generous in the use of yeast,
and her bread was usually lighter
than \ sponge. When she returned
the dough had been transferred from
the pan to the interior of the point
er, who was already showing signs
Of distress. The yeast was getting
in its deadly work, and gradually
the dogs body began to swell. The
head, which had formerly been the
most prominent feature of his make
up, was quite eclipsed beside the
bursting body. The legs looked like
toothpicks supporting a beer keg.
The poor pointer was now writhing
in agony, and after several neighbors
had proposed various strenuous
measures, an application of saleratus
water brought relief.

TRUSTS IN FORMER DAYS.
In Ancient Times Monopolists Cor
aersd Food stuns and 9th 20
Products,

The %cornering of foodstuffs by mon
archs and their agents is said to have
been the earliest form OF trust that
ever existed and as they had the power
to prevent any bear movement in OPP
position their deals could not help be-
ing successful one Accounts of such
transactions are to be found in Assyr-
ian records dating back 1000 or 5000
years; and the Bible describes a very
large operation of this kind carried out
by Joseph, when, out OF the wealth of
the seven fat years, he provided for the
poverty of the seven lean ones. The
Romans did the same thing through
their tax farmers, who laid embargoes
on the food supplies of the provinces
against arrears of taxes, and the prob
ability is that similar operations were
also conducted with regard 10 manu-
facturers.
Another form Of monopolies, known
as trade guilds, has existed from very
early times, and these, in the middle
ages, amounted practically TO the corr
nering of certain arts and industries
as well as means Of distribution. The.
greatest of them was the famous
league Of the Hanse towns. So close
a combine" was this that il possessed
its own fleets of armed merchantmen
and even armies OF m~ercenaries in or

money. Such are the class of men
now being employed.

Reasoning Poyyes In Animals.

Animal intelligence. though not nec-
essarily higher in degree when they arc
acting as our servants and not for their
own ends, Is then very much more easi-
ly approached and understood by us.
The point" is a curious example OF
an action In which instinct and reason
meet. The stopping OF the dog, howey-
er it began, has by training and heredi-
ty become instructive. The dog, even
when quite n puppy, stops when 1t
smells the game and remains almost
paralyzed, its impulse to rush In and
seize II being checked by q strong in
stinct 10 stand still. Yet the dog, after
he had accompanied his master and
had game shot over him, Is quito
aware that he Ia n half controlled "me-
dlum," and whIlo still under the dOmi-
mating pointing instinct VIII look
round lmploringly 10 his master TO urgo
him 10 hurry up If the scent tells him
that the birds are moving. 4 border
line action of a different kind Is tho
squatting of young birds. IL Is n per-
fectly reasonable precautlon. Keeping
still and lying low are not characteris-
tics peculiar only to Brer Rabbit, but
II is most remarkable TO see the way
In which tiny peewits or little teal,
hardly bigger than n fluffy bee, lie
down, put their little chins fat on the
ground and remain motionless for min
utes 10 avoid being seen.
