boxes for their conveyance we're TO
be covered with leather and lined

a catalogue was TO accompany them
so arranged that the emperor could
readily find any desired volume.

WHY We DO SOME THINGS.
Certainly Not Because We Look Pretty
When We Do Them.

A man does not take off his hat
to a lady because he looks nicer
without it. The instance of bald
men would be alone sufficient to up
set such an explanation.
He does it because you must posi-
lively do something when you meet
a lady or your whole civilization
goes to pieces, and taking off your
hat is easier than taking off your
necktie or lying face downward on
the pavement.
The primary point is that you
must do something, not that you
must do something beautiful. And
as long as cultivated people cannot
grasp this fact they will find their
efforts quite futile in dealing with
what they often consider the dull
ness of the middle classes or the
vulgarity and morbidity of the
poor.
In so far as the bourgeois thinks
it more important to wear a Sunday
hat than a becoming hat he is per-
fectly right. 1t is more important
the religion Of the tribe is more i'm
portant than the pretty appearance
of Mr.. Jones.
In so far as the charwoman thinks
II more important that her husband
should have a "propcr" funeral than
a pretty funeral she is perfectly
right. 1t is more important. De
corum is as permanent a human
sentiment as art and a much more
pressing one. Any healthy savage
would understand the charwoman's
sentiments exactly and perhaps
alarm her with demonstrations Of
barbaric approval.
He would also understand per-
fectly the sentiment of a Sunday
hat. / believe in savages myself.
| think that in a great many mat
tiers they represent the enduring
common sense and moral minimum
Of humanity. There is nothing
which | so sincerely respect in saw
ages as their widespread and gener-
ally ascertaincd disposition TO wear
top hats.-London Illustrated News.

The stssmboa, and an az"

IL Robert Fulton had succeeded
in proving to Napoleon that his
steamboat was a revolutionary in
vention the history Of the whole
world might have been changed. A
critic reasons as follows: Fulton
laid before the French emperor his
plan for steam navigation. II might
have appealed TO Napoleon had no
personally investigated II, but he
preferred TO leave the decision to q
commission Of wiseacres, who re-
ported that navigation by the aid
OF steam vas al obvious absurdity.
That was two years before the bat.
tie Of Trafalgar was fought. Had
he accepted the advice of Fulton
and gone at once to building, the
great army massed at Boulogne
might after all have landed in Eng
land and wrought its military mir
aeles upon British soil instead of ct

In and Out Of Cork.

The Soane museum in England
contains a cork model Of the Coli
scum. This vas probably acquired
by Sir John Soanc chiefly because
cork is difficult to cut. Mr.. Clous-
ton tells in "rhe Burlington" a
story connected with il. The late
keeper, Mr., Birch, was showing a
party OF American visitors over the
museum and mentioned that this
was "made in cork" "That is curl
GUS" said II Of the ladies. "Wo
are just going TO visit some friends
there Il mean, madam" he ex.
planned, that this model was made
out OF cork" "rhat is still moro
curious" she replied, "Our friends

DOES THE DOG REAS0N7
Authentic Instances That Seem TO War.
rant That Conclusion.

A dog I owned suffered a great
deal with indigestion. The least in
discreet diet would bring on these
attacks, and as they occurred very
frequently l had a large bottle of
medicine always on hand and kept
it on a shelf in his kennel. The
dog seemed to have acquired a thor
ough comprehension as to the relief
bringing quality of that bottle.
Whenever he was i'll and food was
placed before him he would scent it,
walk away without touching it, then
turn to the shelf and, gazing stead
ily at the bottle, indicate plainly his
wants. He took the medicine with
out the slightest baking, which is
rather exceptional, as any one who
ever tried to dose a dog will agree.
This dog when let out would
never disturb anything in the poul-
try yard, but the moment a stray
chick lost her way into his yard the
savage got the better Of him. He
would catch the unfortunate stray
gler, kill and devour it, leaving only
a few feathers as evidence of the
murder" Punishment always fol-
lowed. The remnants of feathers
were shown to the dog so as to i'm
press on him his wrong doings and
make the cause Of the punishment
clear to him. From time to time
young chickens would be missing,
and all efforts to locate the guilty
one were vain. The dogs yard was
always scrutinized, but nothing
found.
Ny best broilers were disappear
ing at a rapid rate, and | decided to
have the dog watched. Soon he was
caught in the act and the mystery
solved. The moment the dog had
finished his meal he scratched the
feathers in a heap and carried them
with his teeth to a corne Of his
yard, where he buried them. The
dog had the most embarrassed and
helpless expression at the time he
was caught that l ever noticed or
n dog. An extra severe punishment
was dealt out, and | do not know
IL the modification of being trapped
or the punishment did the work,
but the dog was cured from that
moment on.
The related observations show
reasoning in order to accomplish
something for a set purpose. / be-
lieve most animals possess the quail
ity in some degree, more or less,
according to their mental develop
ment.
In the last case described the
dogs instinct led him TO catch and
kill the chicken, but memory told
him that punishment would follow
II found out. lie reasoned that by
hiding the evidence Of his guilt he
would escape punishment for his ac-
tons, which he understood TO be
wrong. The very fact Of being able
to discriminate between right and
wrong and trying TO check the con-
sequences Of the latter shows the
necessity Of thinking and therefore
OF reasoning powers. l.. De Fa-
bry in Outing.

Wounds. Bruises and Burns.

BY applying an antiseptic dress
ing to wounds, bruises, burns and
like injuries before inflammation sets
in, they may be healed without ma
duration and in about one-third the
time required by the old treatment.
This is the greatest discovery and
triumph of modern surgery. Cham
berlain's Pain Balm acts on this
same principle. 1t is All a~ntiseptic
and when applied to such injuries,
causes them to heal very quickly.
1t also allays the pain and soreness
and prevents any danger Of blood
poisoning. Keep a bottle of Pain
Balm in your home and it will save
you time and money, not to men
ton the inconvenience and suffer-
ing such injuries entail. For sale

In a rural town in Michigan
lived a family named Beaver noted
for their hardihood in all manner
Of naughtiness. They were the
great torment Of the ministers life.
Finally one Of the boys was bit by
a rattlesnake and sent for him. lie
foand the lad greatly scared and
very penitent. After some conver-
sstion the reverend gentleman
closed the interview by prayer,
80 Lord" he began, 1--WE thank
thee for rattlesnakes. We thank
thee that a rattlesnake has bit Jim.
Send another, we pray thee, to bite
Tom and one to bite Joe. And, o
Lord, send the biggest kind Of a
rattlesnake TO bite the old man, for
nothing less than rattlesnakes will
bring this Beaver family TO repent

II has been a source of interest
and wonder TO arctic explorers TO
find such quantities of singing birds
within the arctic circle, They are
abundant beyond belief, But the
immense crops of ~cranberries, crow
berries and cloudberries that ripen
in the northern swamps account for
the presence of the birds. The ber-
rles T preserved in the snow,
which begins TO melt about the time
the songsters appear, and then they
feast royalty on the crystallized
fruits nature has so maryelously
kept for them.

THE
oeeuliar Type Of sors Universal All
Over Russia.

One peculiar type of song, the
horovod, is universal all owe Rus
ala. Horovod means leader of a
chorus. Every Russian villager, man
or woman, knows a horovod. 1t al
ways begins with the chief melody
sung by one voice or by a number
of voices in unison.
The secondary parts are a free
imitation of it, and once the chief
melody has been given out every
member of the company develops it
according to his taste. The two
sexes never mix and sing with each
other. There are always male and
female horovodi. Some Of these
folk songs are collected from phono-
grams by Eugenia Lineff in "The
Peasant Songs Of Great Russia"
The broad, slow flowing rivers of
Russia seem to exercise a strong
fascination upon the peasants i'm
agiuation. On the banks Of the
Volga groups Of men and women
may often be seer in summer drag
ging out timber which has hoated
down, and as they tug at their bur-
den they sing.
The gist of most of their river
songs is that if you are born to la
Dor you must toll on, "Toil on, toll
on bravely, one, two, three, and yet
once more, and the task is done"
Many songs belong to the Volga dis
trict, and one is dedicated to "Moth-
er Volga" herself. The Russian
peasant also believes his rivers to
be inhabited by mysterious beings.
Chief among these is the R~oussalka,
n harmful kind Of naiad. The voices
Of the Roussalki are heard in the
rustling Of the grass by the waters
edge, and the splash of the running
stream betrays their dancing feet.
Women and young girls washing
their clothes or bathing are liable
TO be spirited away by these Rous-
salki unless they be careful TO hum
some potent charm IA long rs they
remain in or near the water.

Left u All TO Noah,

A good story is told with refer
ence to the publication of a certain
Biblical dictionary. The editor is
said to have given the article on the
deluge TO what he considered a safe
hand, but when the article was sent
in II was found to contain views
which would certainly have shocked
orthodox readers. What could be
done? The volumes had TO be pub
lishod forthwith. In this dilemma
he put in his dictionary, "Dcluge-
see flood" This. at any rate, post
poned the difficulty, and the article
on the flood was given out TO u
writer who il was thought could DO
better trusted. But when this Sec
ond article came in IL was found
10 be worse than the first, and an
other postponemont was necessary.
The new volume contained another
reference. "flood-see Noah," the
bewildered editor trusting that by
the time Noah was reached he would
succeed in finding a man who would
be able 10 mingle science and or
thodoxy in due degrees.-London
