DOG VARIATIONS.
Pointers and settlers Arc of the cani.e
Aristoeraey,

Pointer and Settlers Are of the Canise
Aristoeraey.
1t is mistake to suppose that
dogs are anywhere near alike in
character. Even those of the same
breed vary, and about as much as
men and women of the same ma
tionality. AS to the manners and
the morals of dogs, they are to a
great extent the result of their con-
tact with man, and they develop
along the same lines. And, on the
other hand, it is impossible to make
anything out of mean spirited dog,
Just as it is out of mean spirited
person. Dog instinct is about the
same as human instinct. A dog rea-
sons, learns, judges by facts, exact
ly as man reasons. He is quicker
of observation. He has the keen
sense of smell, which makes up to
him in some measure for the vi
carious experience of human beings.
The dog must experience a thing to
know it, and his faculties have been
trained by generations of observa-
ton, of taking note, until they have
reached their present perfection.
A dog has not the power of
speech with which to conceal his
thoughts. Consequently he is frank
er than man, but quite unconscious
ly so. When he is a dependent, he
has the faults of one. He is vain,
Jealous, suspicious and a snob.
Pointers and settlers are essential
ly of the aristocracy of the dog
world, and they have gentlemanly
qualities. They have the grand air.
They will allow themselves to be ad
mired by ordinary people, but they
never give their allegiance to any
except the accomplished hunter.
They are elegant of form and Wig
orous of muscle, like any athlete,
and have a power of discrimination
and thought.
The well bred contempt of fine
dog of one of these breeds for man
who has not intelligence enough to
understand his strategy in the field
must be seen to be appreciated.
There is story told of trained
pointer that was taken out with
party of inexperienced hunters. She
was seen to spring to the top of a
wall and then fall back. 1t was sup
posed she had caught her foot, and
they ran to release her. She was
holding by her paws and was beaten
down as a stupid dog and turned
and walked deliberately home. 1t
was finally found that she had
scented covey of birds on the 9th
er side of the wall and, fearful of
flushing them before the hunters
came up, had fallen back out of
You can note the dignity and
moral worth of some dogs in their
carriage, the poise of their heads
and the expression of their eyes. a
dog of sterling character never
steals any more than human being
of this kind steals. = Amateur

WONDERFUL MOVING VINE.
One of tho Most Interesting of Ant
Phenomena on Record.


Phenomena on Record.
Near the bank of the Guadalupe
river l saw something green upon
the ground and, hurrying forward,
found lovely vine with leaves
smaller than those of the smilax,
of a pale, tender green. The vine
had its root about five feet from the
trunk of towering cottonwood
tree and spread out on the ground
four or five inches wide, becoming
little narrower as it approached
the tree. 1 could see no stems or
tendrils, so thick was the growth,
and as l drew close to the tree saw
that the vine branched just above
the ground and went climbing up
the great trunk and the branches.
1t grew more and more slender un-
til far up / could distinguish only a
threadlike line of green.
AS l stood intently watching the
delicate, graceful vine, / became
aware that it was pervaded by a
curious, trcmulous motion. Then
I saw that the individual leaves
were not stationary. Picking up a
twig from the ground, l touched
one of the leaves and found to my
amazement that there was brown
ant under it about as long as my
little finger nail Each leaf was
held in the mandibles of an ant in
such a way as to conceal the body of
the insect, and the ants were coming
down the tree. The discovery came
upon me with shock. had Stun

Books had told me that such ants
were found in the tropics, where
they carried bits of leaves over their

from the sun. But here, on the
banks of Texas river, l had found
colony of them, shading them
selves where there was no sun and
completely hidden by their covering

Charmed at the sight, l turned
back to call my companions, who
were fishing in the river. Within a
few yards 1 met my husband coming
to look for me. He was even more
excited over the phenomenon than
was and shouted for the others to
come quickly On investigation we
found that the spot where the vine
seemed to have its root was really
the opening of the ant nest. The
tiny creatures had by some instinct
learned that the topmost branches
of the cottonwood had put out their
first small leaves. They had climb

taken every, five years and indicated
