GAME DOGS AND GAME.
A Remarkable Instance of the Influ.
ence of Hcredity.

A Remarkable Instance of the Infu.
ence of Hcredity.
The setter ate the mutton chop greed
lily, but he would have none Of the par
fridge bones.
"a good game dog" said his master,
cant eat game. Its taste is repug-
nant to him. This is remarkable in
stance Of the influence of heredity.
Game dogs have been trained for
many generations not to cat the game
the birds and rabbits and what not
which they bring back to their masters
in their mouths. They have been train
ed to consider that the eating Of such
game would be disgrace and an I'M
pardonable sin, the same as bank
clerks have been trained to consider
that the pocketing of few dollars
from the millions they annually han
die would be disgrace and sin.
"And the result in the game dogs
case has been that this moral abhor-
renee Of game, suggested to them by
their masters, has been transmitted in
its passage down from one generation
tosanother, into an actual physical alb
horrence. In the matter Of game,
thanks to heredity, game dogs now are
never tempted. They can't sin.
ut would be a good thing for policy
holders If, in the same way, mans
moral Discrimination to steal had been
changed by heredity to an actual phys
zeal aversion Of other peoples money"

HOW WEASELS HUNT.
The Graceful Pose of the Animals
When ON the Trail.

The Graceful Pose of the Animals
When on the Trail.
The 1.-the grace of the weasel may
be observed whenever it is on the trail.
AT an even speed, with nose to the
ground its reddish brown back seems
literally to glide along through the rank
heritage by the bank.
1t may be the scent of rat, and the
trail may take it in and out of the
bank q good many times before it
comes up with its victim. 1t may even
have to swim a stream before its per.
sistence is rewarded. 1t is wonderful
how small n hole that long, arched
body can glide into and emerge from
without the slightest difficulty.
When 1t has caught and killed its
prey Its movements are equally grace
full as 1t carries the spoil home to its
hole. Crossing Kentish field saw q
weasel coming along under the hedge
row red tootbed from the chase. There
was the same sinuous motion Of the
back, but the little beasts head was
held rs high rs possible and from its
mouth hung the limp carcass Of q
young rat, freshly killed The weasel
held it by fhe neck and so high. for all
the shortness Of its legs, that only the
end of the rats tail dragged through
the grass.
A family Of wcasels will often hunt
In company, and this is naturally a
most interesting sight to witness. The
n 1,ttt 30
ingly small holes is owing entirely to
the structure of its body-its fiat head,
long neck and short limbs and tail. In
cornrick 1t can pursue mice with ease
along their burrows.-London Mail

TRIAL BY ORDEAL.
The Queer System That Exists In the
Sinai Penlnsula,


The Queer System That Exists In the
Sinai Peninsuln.
In the Sinai peninsula trial by ordeal
is still practiced. In all criminal cases
where no witnesses are Forthcoming
the Judge, eel mabashaa," tests. the
suspected person by fire, by water or
by dream. In the first the judge places
an iron pan in the fire until 1t is redhot
and gives it to the accused to touch
three times with his tongue, If marks
Of burning are shown on the tongue
the accused is pronounced guilty. The
theory apparently is that If he is not
guilty the moisture on the tongue pre-
vents it from being burnt; If guilty his
tongue would dry up from fear Of be-
ing discovered.
The test by water is described as fol-
lows: 1.-The 'mabashaa' sits with the
accused and the spectators in a circle
with copper jug full of water placed
in the center. This jug is then made
to appear to move round the circle by
means Of witchcpaft or hypnotism. If
the jug returns back to tive Judge the
accused is pronounced not guilty, but
If the jug stops opposite the accused
he Is pronounced guilty."
This description is rather wanting in
detail, and 1t is difficult to know how
a jug which only appears to move can
be trustworthy index. In the test by
dream the "mabashaa" sleeps and sees
in dream If the accused is guilty or
not.-Chicago News.

valuable Zone. Of silence.

There has come into modern life q
greater variety of sound and q greater
volume than assailed the ears Of our
ancestors. To keep ones freshness
there ought to be zone Of silence
around every human being during some
part Of the day. The finest creative
work is done, us rule, in seclusion;
not necessarily apart from men nor in
solitary places. but away from the tu-
mutt and away from distracting
sounds. There was organized in Paris
years ago society for the culture Of
silence. On the occasion of the initia-
ton Of distinguished man of letters
bowl Of water was brought out to him
in room where he was waiting in
solitude. He studied it a moment,
placed rose upon it and sent it back
The water bore the rose without over
flowing. To the members assembled In
another room the act was the most
convincing evidence that the Initiate
comprehended the purpose of the fel-
lowship and was prepared in spirit to
become one of the company. The act
was symbol which Americans may
wisely study.-Good Health.
