A Canine Curio.

Two or three dogs are nearly always
to be found loafing about every black
smiths shop. This fact is so well
recognized that detectives, when sent
out after valuable dogs that have been
lost, invariably visit first Of all the
blacksmiths' shops in the neighbor.
hood. The reason why the dogs fire.
quent the blacksmiths' shops is that
they love inordinately the odor and
the taste Of burning hoofs. They snuff
the odor as a woman snuffs a rose,
and they eat the hoof parings as q
gourmet eats trufIles. Landseer. the
great animal painter. knew this odd
fact well. and in his famous picture
Of The Smiths Shop" dog in the
foreground is greedily munching sliv-
ers Of toasted hoof.

ODD NAMES OF BRITISH INNS.
Tourist Recorded Some That Were
Especially Striking.

The little inns which we passed 60
ing from London to Scotland, and
even the wine shops, gloried in the
pretentious names which were gen.
orally displayed in illustrated signs
hanging on brackets. We had great
fun in watching these old signs and
writing down some of the most un-
usual. I'VE passed THE Red Bull" and
in neighborly proximity "The Red
Cow" and THE Dun Cow" Sir John
Barleycorn" was near enough to hear
The Five Bells" and Just beyond this,
as II not to be outdone in the bell
line, the proprietor of one inn called
his place "The Ring O. Bells" Later
we passed "The Easy Chair" and
Wait for the Wagon" THE Nag's
Head" "The Spread Eagle" and down
near the end of the list we had re-
corded THE Black Boy" and The

Test for HydroehIorie Acid.

A curious mishap has given US .
very delicate test for hydrochloric acid
in the atmosphere. In North of Eng

tains of the cream color produced BY
metanil yellow-popularly known as
dolly" cream dye and to science as
the sodium salt Of meta-amido-ben-
zine sulphonic acid

curtains suddenly changed to hello

accidental escape Of hydrochloric acid
from a neighboring alkali plant had
discolored the curtains and the dye
became a most useful test.

How Young Girls Made Money.

Two young girls, one Is and the II.
tell OF their experience in making
money at home. They lived In a small
town where many persons made their
own gardens. so they started tomato
plants in the house and had nice
stalky plants to sell when they were
needed. They netted $25 from the
plants alone. They started the seeds
In February. planting them in cheese
boxes. After they sprouted, the
strong ones were retained and the
weaker ones weeded out. When It
was time to remove them to a hot bed
In the garden they lifted the plants
and did not lose many by replanting
them. They sold rapidly.

Cap Worn Only by Travellers.

With the ancient Greeks the hat
was simply an appurtenance OF the
traveller. The free citizen preferred
to go bareheaded and only put on his
broad-brimmed petasus for protection
against the sun when on a long jour
ney. Indeed. the uncovered head was
part OF his dignity, for the slaves and
workmen wore always kind Of point.

Much the same scorn Of habitually
covering the head prevailed among
the Romans. In England the hood
was not finally given up until the
