DOG HAS SENSE . MEMORY.
John Burroughs, the Poet and Nature Student, Says He Is Not Pos
 sessed of Intellect.

John Burroughs, poet and nature stu- dent, in an interview in the Philadel- phia Ledger. says:
 "Thompson-Seton writes absurdities which, as he avows himself. he wishes to make people believe implicitly. They are very charming, but he ought not to try to disguise them in the light of truth. For instance, the imaginary in cident of fox that is pursued by the hounds jumping upon sheep's back and riding there to escape them! You don't catch Kipling doing things like that. His animal episodes are always true to natural history, however re- markable Now as to dogs A dog has no psychic life. He has no intellect. He has only what the psychologists term sense-memory-that is, memory by as- sociation. The dog has become half hu- man from ages of association with man, so you can affirm almost anything of him. except the faculty of thought and of abstract memory. My neighbor up in the country had dog that was always 'scrapping' with my dog One day my dog died. After that whenever I walked abroad and met my neighbor $ dog he never failed to look all around me for his late enemy. as much as to say: I don't see your dog. Where is your dog? What has become of your dog?" That was memory by associa- tion,"

 Bob looked disgusted. "Got an in- quiring mind, haven't you? That's a double kettle or boiler-I forget which, Get single saucepan for the potatoes and pour some of that water of the gela- tine"

A Culinary Waterloo By HELEN CHALMERS NEWELL.
MARS. NEWTON took last peep at
 WI herself in the dining-room mirror

nn RS. NEWTON took last peep at N herself in the dining-room mirror ana gave her veil little twitch.
 "Now, boys, you know l won't be back before nine,' she said, lifting her skirt with a silken swish. Are you sure you're equal to getting yourself something to eat, or shall l have two starving relatives to feed on my re- turn?"
 Newton caught up a silver tray from the sideboard and struck naughty at titude
 Don't think for minute that spent two years as head waiter at Sherry's for nothing! Wait till you see us distin- guish ourselves We're only too anx- ious to build something decent to eat since the last girl left, eh, Jack?'
 Jack nodded with a grin. ''Scram- bled eggs, salads and shredded door mats. likewise canned arrangements and angel food, while all right at intervals, begin to pail as daily nourishment You're all right, Polly. You look stun- ming as an ornament to any apartment. grace any occasion, however swell but truth compels me to say that you can cook"
 ''The dinner which we shall serve to- night" began Newton, impressively, twill be triumph in the culinary line" !"
 If there's any special dish you're fond of, we'll include it in the repertoire .'
 Thanks. awfully,' replied Mrs. New ton, sweetly. You boys are such com fort. l shall be desperately hungry after that sail, so see that you have something nice and hot for me when I come home. Do look all right, Bobby?"
 Bless your little patent feathers, you're a dream of beauty" He kissed her affectionately. "Er-I say. Paul, thought you were going to have dinner with the Nortons. Shall we really save something for you!'
 'Yes, dear If stayed with them it would be awfully late when got home, and l couldn't bear to leave you so long. See that he behaves, Jack" she smiled at Murray.
 See here, Jackie" said Newton, pen sively, she's your cousin, know, and nobody could object to your kissing her occasionally, but--er--couldn't you do it a little more casually, so to speak?"
 My. but you're the jealous child!" remarked Jack, goodnaturedly, slap ping him on the shoulder as Mrs. New ton closed the door. But about that dinner.

the blinds of the window, and on the day of the procession in commemora- ton of the kings accession, the gun barrels were charged with powder, four balls rammed in each. the touchholes connected by powder chain. As the king came opposite the window. Fies- chi opened his blind and lighted the train of powder. On minimizing peo- pie opened up rain of lead. 40 fell, dead or wounded. In some miraculous way the king escaped.
 Twenty-three years later Paris was again the scene of attempted regicide, and again the ruler escaped. It was in the reign of Napoleon III. that Orsini and two accomplices threw the famous Orsini bombs. things planned with fiendish cunning. They were little iron cases. the shape of a pear. the larger end made heavy so as to fall foremost when the bomb was thrown from the hand. Each shell had on the larger end 9 nipples, the sIZe suitable for an ordinary percussion cap. The shells were filled with the most violent explosive obtainable, and Orsini and two companions. armed with these. sta toned themselves in a group along the route the emperor and empress were to take. Suddenly the quiet of the progress was broken by three dreadful explosions. and when the smoke cleared away it was found that the imperial carriage was shattered. a horse killed and two footmen wounded. Napoleon and the empress were unharmed.
 When presently deadly dynamite came into use. the internal machine took on different construction. and the pIotters were called dynamiters. A reign of terror ensued. especially in England and Russia. England per haps because of the small personal part in government taken by the English ruler. had been singularly free from the regicidal fury afflicting some of the continental nations: but when the dy- namiters began operations she came in for her full share of attention from these worthies- London bridge the Tower and house of commons were i'm perilled. the city of London lived on the very brink of a volcano The dy- namite conspiracy was set on fcot along in 1878. and though most rigor- ous means were taken to prevent the dynamiters from getting their explo- sives into England. the pIotters were remarkably successful in the matter.

 the internal machine placed by him on the steamer Umbria some time ago, and also the mysterious ac- cident at the winter palace in St. Pe- tersburg, sets the reader to wondering concerning past powder plots and plot ters.
 that the attempt on the life of Napo- leon Bonaparte Gin 1900, when he was under the title of first consuD may be considered the commencement of the era of assassination by internal ma chimes It took place as Napoleon was driving in his carriage on the way to the opera. Two conspirators were sta tioned without the Tuilleries, and the moment the consul's carriage came in sight they were to run and give warn ing to third, one St. Regent. who had charge of cart in which was barrel of gunpowder, charged with grapeshot and so packed as to scatter when set off death and destruction in every di- rection. But Napoleon, for whom it was intended, did not become it's vic tim. It is thought his coachman was tipsy, and that he drove his horses so recklessly they must have outstripped the two men. St. Regent saw the car riage and applied the match as soon as possible, but it was not accurately timed and the consul's carriage was be- yond the danger line when the awful explosion took place. The fronts of 40 houses were completely wrecked, 50 persons were wounded, among them St. Regent, and 20 killed.
 In 1885 Paris was the scene of anoth CT attempt to assassinate a ruler, this time Louis Philippe the intended vic tim.

POLITE CIGAR SMOKERS.
Fumigated Carriage Several Times, an Entirely Unnecessary
 Proceeding.

:. Some time ago Bishop Potter came E Hartford to address the Working &en's club under John Gunshanan' s Invitation. The bishop, relates the Hartford Courant, was to stay at Bish- op Brewster's home, and at the meet ing was to be introduced by Judge Prentice.
 Gunshanan took a carriage and rode out for Judge Prentice. so that they two might take the two bishops to the meeting. On the way out Gunshanan lit his inseparable cigar When he reached the judges home he threw his cigar away and opened the hack doors and let the cold air blow through a bit before venturing to ask the emil nent gentlemen to enter such cloud of smoke. He was expected, and when the door bell rang Judge Prentice ap- preached, having just risen from the dinner table, cigar in his mouth. Hand ing one to Gunr"anan he said they might as we'll smoke on the way over. So they did.
 As they neared the bishops home they both decided it would be We'll to fumigate the carriage and not ask the two cnurchmen into such a nicotinic atmosphere. When they thought the carriage was sufficiently purified they threw tnelr cigars away and went to the door and were ushered in. Bishop Brewster had cigar in his mouth when they entered. and as Bishop Pot ter came downstairs he declined one, explaining that he had just finished one in his own room. Bishop Brew ster, however. persuaded Messrs. Prem tice and Gunshanan to accept and to smoke on the way to the hall. The re. view of the ride showed that Mir Gun. shanan had started three cigars and thrown away two. Judge Prentice had started two and thrown away one and the whole four had been smoking and knew a good thing when they smelt it, and there was no need of throwing away any cigar at all.

 In reviewing the above and other deeds of violence, one notices how oft en the theater has been connected with plot or with actual assassination. It was at Ford's theater Lincoln was shot. In Drury Lane theater. London, in 1900 George III. was fired upon by man standing but short distance from the royal box. The English king escaped lunatic. was put into confinement and kept there until his death, 40 years later. It was in an opera house that Gustavus IT,, of Sweden. in 1792 was assassinated, the assassin during a mask ball firing the shot that caused the death of the king. Napoleon, the consul, you remember was on his way to the opera when St. Regent set fire to the gunpowder; and Napoleon III. also was driving to the theater when the Orsini bombs were thrown.
