For those who care to study the character
of dogs it may be interesting to know that
the slughi differs in temperament from dogs
of European breed. Unconscious of their
good looks they, however, exact much at
tention and more than an ordinary amount
of the affection and sympathy that exists
between the true dog lover and his dog. The
dog repays his share with most touching
faithfulness.

generations of close intercourse and COM
partnership in the lonely deserts, where mu-
tual dependence and trust must be the rule

rough treatment, but are most responsive to
kindness, and are sensible, docile, extremely
affectionate and gentle Accustomed to chill

make congenial playmates.
Slughis stand the English climate well
and have been most successfully bred in
that country. They are lively outdoor COM
panions and to those who would like to ex-
ercise their sporting instincts would give
good sport with rabbits or hares.

aAzE11E HOUNDS.
A Breed Of Dog That is Finding Fa-
vor Here and in England

"A Breed OF Dog That Is F1nd1ng Fa-
vor Here and in England
From the Boston Globe.
Many and varied are the valuable breeds
of dogs that of late years have been intro
duced into England and this country. The
newest addition is Of specimens of the
beautiful race of greyhounds known as the
slughi, or gazelle, hound.
This breed calls forth the admiration OF
all lovers of dogs. and is one which for
countless ages has been valued and pre-
served. Portraits on the ancient monu-
ments Of Egypt prove that thousands of
years ago gazelle hounds graced the courts
of the Pharaohs and monarchs Of the far
east.
In the present day these same dogs are
still bred with great care. They are prin-
cipally to he found among the nomadic
tribes of the eastern deserts. The name
slughi, which specially denotes this breed
means in Arabic greyhound or hounds, as
distinguished from the dog, or kelb. de-
spised animal In the east.
With harmonious proportions, active but
ever elegant movements keen, far-seeing
eyes and quick pace, 1t is seen at a glance
that the slughi Is not only to be looked upon
as dog for pleasure and ornament but
also as sportsman" Contrasting the
points of these greyhounds with European
standards, 1t Is further seen that they pos
sess special attributes adapted to their
country and the nature of their sport. The

Don't Cross Your Legs.
From the St. Louis Globe Democrat.

From, the st. Louis Globe Democrat.
1.-THE prevalence Of appendicitis is an ad-
mitted fact" said a surgeon. II have my
self operated on 719 persons for the dis
ease Crossing the legs is responsible for
a good deal of this trouble That sounds
strange, doesn't 1t? Nevertheless 1t is
theory advocated by more than one great
surgeon. Indeed I know some men who
say that IL people never crossed their legs
appendicitis would quite disappear. You
see, crossing the leg squeezes and cramps
the delicate yermiform appendix. Squeez-
ed and cramped, the appendix becomes ir-
ritated. Inflammation sets in. Intense
pain comes. Then-presto-you are on
your back, the sweet and heavy fumes of
chloroform are choking you. and the APP
pendicitis specialist bends over you with
sharp knife"

Leaving the railway station by wagon,
the hunters arrive at the lake side and Sc

waterway. One must be equipped with

ty good decoys. The wild goose is pecul-
lar bird, and to know something of his
habits is essential to the most successful
shooting. The geese sleep the water
at night, drifting far from shore by sunrise.
AS soon as the light of day comes they be-
come restless and very noisy. They soon
rise in great fiocks and fly away, always
against the wind, for the feeding places
among the corn and wheat fields. The
middle of the day is when the hunters
should arrive at the lake and dig their
pits.
Locating feeding place by noticing the
birds as they rise and fall in the fields, the
hunter should then wait until about
o'clock in the afternoon, when the geese
return to the lakes Select the center
of the feeding place in the field and dig
two pits in a circle around the decoys. The
pits should be large and comfortable, usu-

their silky ears and feathered tail they look

The geese settle down upon the lakes late
in the forenoon and remain on the water
until late in the afternoon, when they 4gain
venture to the feeding grounds for the even
Ing meal. Then sat dusk they return in
great noisy throngs, fighting and pounding
each other to get to the surface Of the
water. Then until the next morning they
remain on the water.
The dugouts are largely used in the west
for shooting geese, and il the weather is
at all favorable, any hunter should not
leave discouraged. There will be much
corn left in the fields of South Dakota this
year owing to the great tendency for 1t to
fall during several severe wind storms, and
this win make the hunting season long
