judging Your Dog

The average man is greatly puzzled to hnd one
dog awarded first prize, and another' Wnlch
N him appears to be quite as hne a specimen
awarded no prize at all. A man who knows the
reIative values of the different points IN all
breeds of dogs is a veritable walking encyelo-
pISe Generally speaking the best dog is one which
comes nearest the standard of requirements Tor
;ts own particular breed, about 20 per cent OF
tbe noints being usually awarded for fine head
nroportions an equal number for legs and teet'
: similar number again for body and COLOR
and the rest for symmetry.
In the Dalmatian, for instance, thirty points
are given for color and markings, while head
ewes and ears have only fifteen; the bulldog on
tbe other hand, has forty-fve for head and ears
,yhilo coat and color amount to but tive points;
the collie has twenty-five for coat, color beng
;mmateraI, and twenty-five for head and ears
The st. Bernard has forty for head and ears
and five each for coat and color; the Pome-
ranian has but fifteen for head and ears, forty
five points going for coat, color and tail, with
fifteen for appearance. 1t may be set down
as governing in all breeds of dogs that whatever
is the tvpica feature of that breed is the feature
upon which stress is laid in the allotment OF
points.

What lsa "Dodge Wat C h?"

West Indian word for a spirit or ghost; as the
spirit of the biblical Jonah was supposed to
haunt the bottom Of the sea, Duffy Jonah's
locker became common expression; then, by
mistake, ''Duffy Jones" became the generally
accepted name, and eventually, by another mis-
take, the name "Davy Jones" was adopted.
The term ''dog watch" is another curious case
of corruption Originally it was dodge watch, :"
so called because it lasted only two instead Of
the usual four hours The word Junk for salt
meat is really mark of scorn. 1t originated IN
this way: "Junicus" is Latin for bulrushes;
ropes were once made Of burushes, and sailors
disgustedly lkened the salt meat which was
served out to them to rope.

Burmese Experts Not Afraid of Snakes

ONLY ONE METHOD OF ATTACK
The secret of the charmer's success is this
the hamadryad and cobra have only one method
of attack. and that is as have described it
This they never vary. Whether lying coiled up
or otherwise, they have to erect a certain length
of body before they are able to strike, then you
know that the stroke is coming and ought to be
able to avoid it. If you look at one OF these
serpents in its box it will rear up its head expand
its hood and remain motionless in this position
for hours. This snake cannot make snap at
one like viper.
The hamadryad has the reputation of being
tho only snake that will attack mankind of its
own initiative without being, molested. There
cerAinly have been many authentic instances oi
snch attacks, but I am inclined to think it is
- orlv n few cases that the snake will do this

When 1t got within range 1T struck at HIM.
The Burman swiftly parried the blow with his
bare arm, letting the snakes body below the
hood only touch the limb. The hood and body
slid off his arm and fell fiat upon the ground.
Before the snake had time to raise its head for
another strike the Burman had moved off few
feet and from there went through the same per-
formance.
Having intimated that I wished to see its fangs
the charmer again seized the snake by its neck
and opened its mouth with a bit of wood. l
could only see the fang on one side, the other
appeared to be broken When not ready to
strike loose bit of skin envelops these teeth.
If the snake has its fangs pulled out it does not
follow that it will be rendered innocuous, as
there are auxiliary fangs behind the real ones,
and if the big destroyed these often
come forward and take their place.
However, when l proved dissatisfied with this
hamadryads dental arrangement the assistant
was dispatched and presently returned with a
similar basket out of which another rather big
ger serpent was produced. They went through a
similar performance with this snake and on in
spection ] found that both fangs were present.
KNOW MUCH ABOUT SNAKES
The Burmese know much more about snakes
than the natives of India and seldom if ever ex-
tract the fangs of cobra or hamadryad, which
Indian charmers almost always do to their cobras
with the snakes they exhibit. After little bar

hamadryad, or cobra, when first caught
would sooner starve to death that eat anything.
When used to captivity, however, it will feed
well enough. Till then it must be fed by hand
and this is how it is done. The Burman opened
the basket and seized the snake by the back OF
the neck with his left hand, the thumb and lore
finger on each side of the head, the other fingers
loosely around the throat. As he looked around
for bit of stick | handed him a penholder,
which he inserted between the hamadryad S
teeth.
FOOD FORCED DOWN THROAT
Then got him some beef and he selected
piece looking just twice too big to go down.
This he placed between the snakes teeth and
slinned the penholder out. Then, with the end
of that instrument, he gently pushed the beef
fiji the snake gave a convulsive swallow, when he
rommed the meat down as far as the penholder
would allow him. 1t then appeared as lump
in the throat few inches below the fingers of
his left hand This he worked foot or two
down the body with the thumb OF the other
hand. He told me that ten mouthfuls of this

Dos and Adjec Game

begins by saying: "Our dear little dog is ac-
tive"
Then the player opposite to him must take up
the phrase and before the first player can count
ten must substitute some other adjective begin
ming with "a' for "active;" thus, "our dear lit
tie dog is amiable." If he fails, he drops out
of the game; but if he gives correct answer,
he then counts ten while the second player on
the other side is getting answer ready.
Thus the phrase passes from one side to the
other, until all the players on one side are out.
The game may be continued for some time if
desired, by using adjectives beginning with the
other letters of the alphabet.
