Her Pious Wish.

Robert Burns friend, DR.. Blackjack,
the blind poet, was a licentiate Of the
Church Of Scotland and used to preach
occasionally.
One Sunday he was supplying a
country pulpit. Certain deaf old wo-
men, as was the custom in those days,
had squatted on the pulpit stairs to be
as near the preacher as possible. Like
the mass of the Scottish people. they
abominated sermons that were read.
One OF them as soon as the discourse
was begun said to her neighbor in a
tone that was audible through the
whole church, "Is he readin'T'
"Tuts, womanl No, he Gamma read.
He's blind"
"Blin, is he, eh7 That's raal fort
nate. wish they were a blind"

It Is a curious thing ,thata great number
of ladies' pet dogs have long hair. Now 1t
long dresses {unlesssthey are isolated and
tied I'D with a bit of ribbon, and capable
of being carried in an enyelope). and there
are many species of lap-dogs whose hir-
suite exuberance can only be dealt with by
the sex that hes longer hair itself AS for
instance. the Yorkshire terrier with a silky
coat that has been known to reach length
OF twenty four inches, the Skye terrier, the
Maltese terrier, the corded poodle-all these
require familiarity with the process of the
brush and comb which places them outside
the realm of desire of mere man.
The Pomeranian may almost be said to
come within this category, for 1t Is nothing
If It is not fluffy and small Herein is an
other feature that is due to the delight Of
the fair sex in the diminutive; as they must
have their gloves small their watches
small and many other things small, so
must they have their dogs small. The con-
sequence Is that a race of toy dogs" has
been evolved in many breeds, and chief
among these Is the toy Pom. a dear d.

YANKEE DOODLE
Was Originally the Music for German
Dance

The probable origin OF Yankee Doodle"
is given in a recent issue of the Frankfurter
Zeitung, as follows:
I'm the publication Hessenland (No. 2.
1900, Johann Lewalter gives expression TO
his opinion that Yankee Doodle was origi-
nalIy country dance of a district of the
former province of Kur-Hesse, called the
'Schwalm.'
at is well known that the tune of Yam
kee Doodle was derived from military
march played by the Hessian troops during
the war of the revolution in America. In
studying the dances of the Schwalm, Le-
walter was struck by the similarity in form
and rhythm of Yankee Doodle to the music
of these dances Last year. at the 'kir-
mess of the village of Wasenberg, when
Yankee Doodle was played, the young men
and young girls swung into a true 'Schwal-
mer' dance, as though the music had been
composed for It. During the war OF lIio
the chief recruiting office for the enlist
ment of the Hessian hired soldiers was
Ziegerhain, in Kur-Hesse. 1t therefore
seems probable that the Hessian recruits
from the "Schwalm," who served In the
pay of Great Britain in America during the
revolutionary war, and whose military band
instruments consisted of bugles, drums ana
flies only, carried over with them the tune.
known to them from childhood, and played
1t as a march"
