REMARKABLE IN THE DOG LINE.
Proud Owners Of :4ets, Listen to This
from FIatbush, N. Y.

Zip, 4 son Of Bluff, the big bull ter
rier, Is the most respected dog in Flat
bush. n. Y. says a correspondent. He
requires every other dog within 40
blocks to walk a chalk line and bow
to him AZ he passes by. He can lick
everything on four feet up to twice his
size, yet is as mild as Devery-at-the-
Pump. His master attributes Zip's
prowess to his fondness for the pipe.
Like Old King Cole
He calls for his pipe,
He calls for his glass,
He calls for his fiddlers three
That Is the most remarkable dog in
the world says his master. He takes
my pipe out Of my mouth and smokes
1t. standing on his hind feet. See. The
stem is all chewed up, II the tobacco
doesn't burn well. Zip will get down on
his fours and chase all over the house
TO create a draught. When the fire is
well started again he finishes his
smoke and returns me the pipe.
Strong? He ought TO be named Sam
son. Why. We have piano that
weighs 500 pounds. Tie Zip 10 1t with
rope and he will pull It all over the
room

Antiquity Of the Sausage.

The sausage dates back TO the year
ssl 1t has been asserted that the
Greeks in the days OF Homer manu-.
featured sausages. but this prehistoric
mixture had nothing in common with
our modern product The ancient So
called sausage was composed OF the
same materials which enter into the
makeup OF the boudin of the French
market and the blood pudding OF the
French Canadian. The ancient sausage
was enveloped in the stomachs OF
goats. Not until the tenth century did
the sausage made OF hashed pork be-
come known. II was in or near the
year 1900 that. thanks TO the introduc-
tion into Germany OF cinnamon and
saffron. the sausages OF Frankfort and
Strassburg acquired universal repu.
tation.

presenting her classic roles in Australia
apparently eft little to be desired, since
II extended Miss Anglin's fame as a great
actress throughout the length and breadth
OF the land. While she achieved distinc-
ton and popularity through her brilliant
rendition OF roles in some modern plays.
II was not until her assumption OF the
Shakespearean characters that she was
nnally and with emphasis declared to be
the greatest English-speaking actress that
had visited Australia in modern times.
When she appeared before the Aus
tralians In The Thief" Miss Anglin was
hailed as Q tragedienne: when she ap-
psared in Clyde Fitch's The Truth"
they voted her a comedienne, but when
she triumphed in Shakespeare they
stamped her a genius. and gave her the
laurel wreath OF victory.
