Barkless Dogs.

To teach a dog not to bark would
seem to be as impossible a task as
teaching child not to cry or boy not
to talk loud. But there is case on
record where dog was so taught,
tho it took the trainer three years to
accomplish it. Then he thought he had
a dog that differed from all other dogs
in the world, but in this he was mis-
taken, for there are at least three varie-
ties of dogs that never bark-the lion
headed dog of Thibet, the shepherd dog
of Egypt, and the Australian dog.
These would be the right kind of pets,
so that nervous people would not be
disturbed at night. The law in some
countries is very severe on night-bark-
ing dogs. In Japan for instance, the
owner of one is liable to arrest and to
penalty of one years work on the
complaint of anyone who has been dis
turbed by the barking.-Nature.

The turquoise. although not credited
with either remedial or protective
properties, so far as disease was con-
cerned, was nevertheless regarded as a
kind of sympathetic indicator, the in
tensity of it's color being supposed to
fluctuate with the health of the wearer.
The latter, however, by virtue of the
stone he carried, could, it was said,
fall from any height with impunity.
The Marquis of Vilena's fool, however,
was somewhat nearer the truth when
he reversed the popular superstition in
his assertion that the wearer of tur-
quoise might fall, from the top of
high tower and be dashed to pieces
without breaking the stone.-Ex.

remainder came to the language from
the Greek, the Hebrew, the Persian
and many other tongues. The English
dictionary is in one sense of the word
history of national enterprise and
daring. Every invasion, every con-
quest, every discovery is faithfully
recorded in the additions that accrued
to the language. But vocabulary
does not make tongue, and tho Eng
lish has adopted words from every Ian
guage in Europe and from every
country on the globe, it still remains
ltself-separate and distinct.

we were on the sidewalk, she said:
"What do you expect to do with them ?"
"Only this," said 1, as I carefully
placed them on the track in front of a
rapidly approaching trolley car.
To this day those teeth are "non est"

lady whose finger was chewed. So I

notion'- -''the language is the
nation or to amplify the translation,
"the history of race is embodied in
its speech" Every civilized communi-
ty on the face of the earth, dead or liv-
ing, fully bears out this statement.
The smallest affairs Of the household
and the greatest political convulsions
are found recorded in the vocabulary
and in the grammar of the people.
A language is an organism, and be-
ing such, it lives, and grows, and dies
Growing, it loses some things and
gains others. Its appearance changes;
its youth finds it one thing; its age an
other. To, borrow simile, the photo
graph of man of forty and one of the
same person at the age of two bear no
resemblance whatever. Yet the two
pictures represent the same man, who,
like a language, is living organism,
and bears on his face and form the
changes that time and growth have
wrought.
In tracing the story of the English,
we find associated with it, connected
by family ties, other languages spoken
today in India and Persia, in Greece
and Italy, in France and Germany, in
Russia, and in Scandinavia. All of
these have been traced to the people
who at one time Inhabited the high
