Life In Christiania,

Many Of the residences of Christianis
stand v1lla-like in the midst of pretty
gardens, which in summer are full OF
bloom and give the streets peculia,
charm and sense of openness. Within
the people live simple, wholesome lives
kindly and hospitable, with that truest
hospitality which invites the guest tc
share in good cheer without ostentation
or display. Dinner is at or o'clock
served by trim, fresh looking maids
and supper at s, where, except on form.

The dog law passed BY the Connec-
ticut legislature in 1907 seems to be
bringing a much needed reform. The
old law simply required that dogs
should wear collars and tags. The new
law puts teeth in the ruling, however,
BY saying that dogs not so collared and
tagged are liable to seizure. 1t is the
duty of dog wardens who find dogs not
properly tagged to impound them As
hours, and il at the end of that time the
owners cannot be found, the dogs are to
be killed snd the wardens receive 30
head therefor. 1t is reported that the
town of Waterbury alone, in three
months, paid out $1,000 to the dog war
den for this purpose, and some argue
that this is too much of good thing
On the other hand, it is prima facie evi
dence that there has been wholesale
violation of the dog law in the town In
question. At the recent annual meeting
of the Connecticut sheep breeders asso,
citation al Hartford, several farmers SAID
the law seems to be working very salts.
