origin of Names of Breeds.

Spaniels were so called because the
original breed of this type came from
Spain: Tbs BIenheim. spaniel .g9 his
name from Bfenheifn" palace Where
this dog first gained popularity in the
time of thesgreat duke of Marlborough.
In the same way the King Charles
spaniel owes it's name to the merry
monarch. Fox terriers did not gain
their names from likeness to the
fox, but from the fact that formerly
they were used in hunting foxe
Many years ago they were sem ~
their masters down the fox's bui.ow
TO draw and kin their quarry. 1t was
In those days saying that good fox
terrier never came out of a burrow
without the fox He either brought
out his prey dead OF never came out

WHEN NOT TO TALK
THERE ARE MOMENTS WHEN ST.
LENcE is GOLDEN.
Advice Given Newly Welded May Be
Taken to Heart BY Those Who
Have Been Longer in This
Vale OF Tears.

Nov that she is all mine," said the
young husband fondly, 81 shall try to
keep her perfectly happy" A moment
later the girl-bride slipped into my
hand the finger that bore the wedding
ring and whispered with beaming
eyes: I'm going to try so hard to
be a good wife to hint"
/. twisted that band of dull gold
about her finger as 1 said, half fear
fully: Il know something that will
help you lot"
WHAT" She was, eager.
Learn when not to talk"
She objected, 20, but Roger and I
have promised each other that we
shall always talk things over, always
talk them out"
"All right" said, but don't do it
when you are frying beefsteak"
Just then Roger himself sauntered
our way. There will never be any
misunderstanding between US, for we
shall start by talking everything
over"
mot while you are trying to shave"
L said.
They both laughed Beefsteaks and
shaving had no place in their rose
colored future, but such homely things
have more to do with welded bliss
than most Of us like to admit Many
unkind words, in fact many divorces,
find their beginnings in just such low
ly sources.
i,ly Sc
she is, the bride. Steaming over
hot stove, her front hair in strings,
her shirtwaist fleeked with flying fat
and her fingers blistered. The hot
blood is almost bursting through her
face and she feels the perspiration
streaming down her spine
Then something he says initiates
her Can anyone blame her for
wanting to ease her mind by having
a quarrel?
If man happens to pass through
the kitchen during the beefsteak or
deal let him tread lightly and with
his tongue held we'll between his
lfrOm-remarkS.
i So with a man when he is shaving.
He has all he can do to keep from cut
Fling his throat Shaving is an inter-
Testing operation; any woman can I'M
derstand that if she is observing. It
I takes a mans whole attention. He
! doesn't like to discuss the theater nor
the grocer's bills.
| Then, too. if the razor should slip!
| 1t is vastly safer for the wife to re-
frain from asking questions. If she
values his happiness and hers she
will maintain a dignified, sympathetic
silence until he is shaved, washed,
dressed and-has had time to heal.
Learn not to talk at certain times.
Just keep still, everybody, when things
seem to be going wrong. If there is
anything that must be said, say 1t aft
erward, when the house cool and
quiet.

BAD JAIL CONDITIONS
Barred BY ROOSEVELT
Commission Appointed to Investigate
Subject Denounces District of CO.
Iumbia's Care of Criminals.

Washington, Jan. 12.-Sweeping re-
forms of more Or less national inter-
est affecting the criminal classes in
the District of Columbia are recon-
mended in report transmitted to con-
gress by President Rooseveltyesterday
by the commission appointed under
the act of congress of May 26 last, to
Investigate the subject. Justice Stat
ford of the supreme court of the Dis
trict of Columbia, is chairman of the
commission which is unsparing in its
condemnation of the conditions in the
federal Jail, the District workhouse
and other penal and correctional insti-
tutions in this city. The overcrowd
ing of the jailNand the workhouse, the
the nostrils of every one acquainted
with the situation. In one institution
they state that 100 out of
600 inmates are maintained in
absolute idleness, and with no oppor-
tunity to exercise, and it is stated
that in most cases two or three are
confined in single cell not large
enough for one, and their meals are
passed through the bars in tin can.
Congress is scored for its failure to
provide an adequate Jail with yard
sufficient for proper exercise. The
commission speaks of the conditions
in the city generally, and urges upon
congress the making of the capital
city "a pattern for all the cities of the
land by putting forth their undoubted
and exclusive legislative power in the
creation of pure and wholesome condi-
tions, the removal of foul and vice
breeding houses and alleys, the sub
stitution therefor of decent habita.
tons, the laying out of parks for the
poor in sections where they have their
miserable dwellings,. and remodeling
our civic institutions, penal and cor
regional to meet the demands of the
public conscience and the spirit of the
age"
