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

Only Three OF Ihts Breed OK An
CORA Dogs I'm 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. Dr.
q. 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, 1t 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 it's head is broad and In
telligent, but here all resemblance to
the well-known breed ends, for 1t is q
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 bacl
and sides, slender, graceful legs, and {
coat which is cleaning white excep
for the marks Of brown.
The little dog is extremely affection
ate, loves to be cuddled, and makes al
excellent ladies' dog, but she is no toy
for she has dauntless courage an,
pluck and Ii always ready to defent
her rights.
Although born in a warm country

There are men who love dollars sim
ply for the sound Of their jingle and
others who seek riches simply for the
power they bring, but the great mass of
those who are trying to roll up for
tunes are in pursuit of the social privi-
leges that wealth affords. If it were
plain to all these last that stolen money
was bar, not a hoist; that to be a
thief was to forfeit ones chance to
enter the coveted circles, then the real
remedy for the rot that has spread SO
wide would be at hand. But there are
precious few signs of any such senti'
ment.

HE question of teaching agriculture In our

oughly by educational leaders. State
Supt. stetson, of Maine, has expressed
K5SNNfSNN the conviction that In elementary
ENSsEJ 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 through with the common
schools they will be qualified to make country homes
and not by their very training be biased toward town
fe 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

Pupils will become keenly interested in matters that

Gilbert Hubbard emphasizes the necessity of a rad.

agriculture wisely requires good deal Of outdoor app
cation. Recently showed what Iowa had undertak-
with her normal SchooS-tnot Is, certain amount
of garden work and field work for ncpent teachers so
that they will be qualified to teach nature studies in the
schools.
There is really good why boys and girls
