COLLIE WEIGHS SIX POUNDS.
Only Three of This Breed Of An
CORA Dogs In America.

CORA Dogs In America.
Although the dog aristocrats are sup
posed to have representation in the
New York and Boston dog shows, there
is one species which is never represent
ed, because the species is so rare. This
is the Angora collie, and there are only
three of the dogs in this country. DIR.
e. c.. Switzer, Of Springfield, Mass,
owns one of the animals, and the other
two are in Newburyport, Mass, says
the New York Herald.
The peculiar characteristic Of the
dog is that while it has all the marks
Of a typical collie, it weighs about six
pounds instead Of the thirty or more
which the collie ordinarily weighs. 1t
has the feathering on the legs and in
the ears and its head is broad and in
t%elligent, but here all resemblance to
the well-known breed ends, for it is a
dainty, graceful dog, with all the pref
ty ways Of a small dog. '
DR.. Switzer's dog is named Spider
and her father and mother were
brought to this country from Spain and
taken to Newburyport, and now the
mother and her two children, Toudie
and Spider, are the only representa-
tives of the breed in this country.
Spider has an unusually broad head.
big, intelligent eyes with spots of brown
around them, brown markings on back
and sides, slender, graceful legs, and a
coat which is cleaning white except
for the marks Of brown.
The little dog is extremely affection
ate, loves to be cuddled, and makes an
excellent ladies' dog, but she is no toy,
for she has dauntless courage and
pluck and is always ready to defend
her rights.
Although born In a warm country,
she stands well the uncertainties of tine
New England climate and is perfectly
we'll in the coolest weather. She is u
small eater, and fresh tripe is a deli
cacy Of which she Is particularly fond.
Jumping is her especial delight. and
she, will take leaps with the ease Of a
greyhound. She is an excellent watch
dog and will bark uproariously at the
slightest noice. She is sensitive to a
degree and grieves sorely over a cross
or rough word.

A FAVORED SPOT.

Far and away stretched the waving
grasses and the low hills.
On and on wandered the little boy.
He did not know where he was, and
yet he did not weep.
He was Il very brave little lad and
4 mere child withal, so that, although
he had lost his bearings, was not
alarmed.
For did he not have his nice new
rubber ball with him? md would it
not be fine to bounce it about over the
hard. smooth ground?
Selecting a spot bare of grass he
threw the ball down, with all his
might.
But it lay lifeless just where it had
alighted.
Again the puzzled lad threw it down,
but the resilient gutta percha spheroid
lay dead and inert exactly as it had
fallen.
Then, as the fearful truth broke
upon the lad, he broke forth into walls
of despair. He was On the boundless
prairie.-Judge.

49, SupC. StetSOu, ol Nhulhc, Ia PiS"S
kHSTsSERNI the conviction that in some elementary
l&ES6eSGAJ form all the teachers of that State should
~ be prepared to teach agriculture. He
thinks that farm boys and farm girls should be so
taught that when they are through with the common
schools they will be qualified to make country homes
and not, by their very training. be biased toward town
life. The fact Is that the ordinary common school does
comparatively exalt trade and manufacturing as com
pared with land culture. The children receive no In
formation whatever concerning animals and plants
concerning soils and fertilizers, nor are they taught the
relation that in country life should exist between the
true, the beautiful! and the useful.
Superintendent Joyner, of North Carolina, insists that
agriculture should be taught just as history Is taught.
Assign u lesson In nature study, and see that the pupil
masters it. He thinks the application will come later:
Pupils will become keenly interested in matters that
touch everyday home life. Then he would have sup
piled to the pupils small boxes, In which they are to
place the requisite soil, and in each plant a given num-
Der of seeds. he would have them test seed 10 Desih
wltt-not 90 ahead blindIy. but make sure at every
point. For instance. he finds in his experiments that cab
bage seed terminates at a 80 per cent ratio, clover at
a 70 per cent ratio, while blue grass has a percentage
OF germinat ton as low as As. His object is to teach a
child accuracy in all matters pertaining to agriculture;
but accuracy is nothing more or less than science.
Gilbert Hubbard emphasizes the necessity of q rad
ical change in the division OF school work. To teach
agriculture wisely requires a good deal Of outdoor appi-
cation. Recently we showed what Iowa had undertake
en- with her normal s~choos-that Is, a certain amount
of garden work and field work for incipient teachers, SO
that they will be qualified to teach nature studies In the
schools.
There is really no good reason why boys and girls
should be shut up all day inside school rooms. 1t is I'M
natural, and it is a serious damage to their nerves and
their muscles. There Is no reason why half Of this time
should not be spent out of doors in the application OF
the lessons learned. These may be lessons in entomol-
ogy or in ornitholosy, or in direct gardening. Mr.. Hub
bard adds: Suppose We quit talking about war, and
set ourselves to the problem Of educating our boys
and girls-that is, educate them to be useful; one ses.
sion a day for books and the afternoon for hand work"
He thinks this would end the era of overworked teach
es and yellow, nervous pupils. At present we are
giving twice as much to war as we are to our schools.
We are glad to welcome the assistance Of all thoughtful
educators, editors and others in this campaign for COM
mon sense. Let us make our motto Educate for the
farm and not from the farm; educate for the country
and not from the country."-New York Tribune.

An interesting fact about ~hedgehogS
that perhaps not many persons kno Is
that the bites OF even the most poison
Gus serpents have no effect on them
whatever. NJ. LEM, Il naturalist, once
watched Il fight between a hedgehog
and Il viper and gives a most interest
ing description of it. He a that
when the hedgehog came near the
snake she began to smell II, for the
sight Of these animals is so poor that
they depend almost entirely on the
sense Of smell. and then she seized
its head with her teeth.
In Il moment the snake had freed
itself, and. dartins asVhe hedgehog, bit
it several times, but the little animal
did not seem to min the bites at all,
and when the snake was tired out with
its efforts she again seized its head,
which she ground between her teeth,
poisonous fangs and all. Then she de-
youred almost the whole Of it's body.
NJ. LEM also tells Of a pet hedgehog
that liz kept in his house in a large
box.
Several times he put some adders
into the box, which the hedgehog d5h
not seem to fear at all, but attacked
them iercely, and, as in the case Of
the other, was never in the least af-
fected by their poisonous bites.
A mai who has had a pet hedgehog
IN his possession for a long time says
that he had often seen it throw itself
off the top Of Il wall fourteen feet in
height. Without pausing a moment it
would contract itself into a soft. fluffy
ball and fall to the ground SO lightly
that almost Immediately it would I'm.
fold itself and run off.

he can count, more income than he can spend. or even
give away, a man who can satisfy every rational desire
of q human being and yet have enough over to support
10 600 people in comfort-why should such a man be
willing to commit crime to get more!
The answer Is that he has lost his mental equihb-
rum; he has become ~money-mad. He is In precisely
the san case as the man who. because of infatuation
for a wanton, gives up his wife and children, his home,
his religion, his reputation and his money; and that
kind of q performance is recorded in the newspapers
nearly every day. An evil passion has got possession
of the soul Of the money-mad man. just as alcohol
or opium gets possession Of the body of a man who Is
a drinker or a doper. Why did Napoleon, having all
the rest Of the continent Of Europe at his feet, and lit
orally drunk with glory, want to conquer Russia and
then Asia? Because he was ambition mad. He had
lost his balance. He had parted with his sense of the
right proportion of things.
The money-mad man is similarly a victim, but OF an
other mania. An insane person Is one who is no longer
able to perceive things as they are. Everything is dis
torted as he looks at it. Always he eXaggerates his own
Importance; invariably he gives a false value to some
