A Scotch Te.t.

Auchtermuchty is the happy town
which every Scot, proud of his unpro-
nounceable tongue, uses as a shibbo-
leth to test the linguistic skill of the
southron. II you cannot say "Auchter-
muchty" you are still an uneducated
barbarian. The meaning of the word
happens to be as monsrous as its
sound. ''The high ground of the wild
SOW" Is not name one would choose
for garden city. People. however, are
found to flock to 1t as a summer re-
sort, and as it has a lovers pool, the
town has probably attractions more
real than its name In the early part
Of last century Auchtermuchty went
bankrupt and was deprived of all its
property except the Jail and one or two
other assets Of an equally necessary
character. 1t Is now rich, peaceful and

JUDGING DOGS.
The Rule. by which the Different
Points Are Valued.

The average man is greatly puzzled
to find one dog awarded a first prize
and another. which to him appears to
be quite as fine specimen, awarded
no prize at all. A man who knows the
relative values Of the different points
in all breeds of dogs is a veritable
walking encyclopedia.
Generally speaking, the best dog is
one which comes nearest the standard
of requirements for its own particular
breed. about 25 per cent of the points
being usually awarded for fine head
proportions, an equal number for legs
and feet, similar number for body
and color and the rest for symmetry.
Ip the Dalmatian, for instance, thirty
points are given for color and mark
ings, while head, eyes and ears have
only fifteen; the bulldog. on the other
hand, has forty-tive for head and ears,
while coat and color amount to but five
points; the collie has twenty-five for
coat, color being immaterial, and twen-
ty-five for head and ears.
The st. Bernard has forty for head
and ears and five each for coat and
color The Pomeranian has but fifteen
for head and ears. forty-five points 60
ing for coat, color and tail. with fifteen
for appearance. 1t may be set down US
whatever is the typical feature Of that
breed is the feature upon which stress
is laid In the allotment of points.
