which is no small matter. Special
things are cooked and the dogs must
be carefully watched while they eat to
see that nothing goes wrong. Then
the bath is a serious affair. Some
times a silver bathtub is used and

The nurse must also look after the
toilet of her charges. When they go
out with their mistress she must see
that they are in proper trim. with
their little coats carefully brushed and
cleansed and their jeweled collars
bright and sparkling.
After they have retired at night her

STRANGE Race Of Ancient Britons.

Among the races of humankind
which away back of history's records
passed like clouds over various parts
Of the earth one Of the most puzzling
to ethnologists is that of the early
bronze age men who dwelt in Aber-
deenshire, Scotland, and are supposed
to have constructed the special forms
Of stone circles whose remains are now
found there. These men differed sig
nifcantly, says j. Gray. from all the
prehistoric racial types previously de-
termined In Britain. They were re-
markably broad headed, and their av-
erage stature was only five feet three
inches. as shown by skeletons. The
British neolithic race was markedly
long headed. and the bronze age race,
which built the round tumuli, was also
long headed and tall.

WORKING A MEAN MAN.

Kansas City shows up the meanest
nan-he was In the workhouse for
non support of his family, although
able to do so. and having a deposit Of
several hundred dollars in the savings
bank
The board of parole and pardon was
appealed to by his family for his release,
and he was released on condition that
he sign contract turning over his
savings account to the president of
the board as a bond that he would
work and give his family $40 per week.
This is what the Kansas City Jour
nal calls "a refreshing exhibition of
enlightened common sense" for it says
by the operation of this system, the
city is saved the expense of keeping
in idleness a man who fails in his duty
as a citizen. The man himself is re-
leased from a degrading and prohtless
confinement and made to work, as he
should, instead of using up his savings
in idleness and allowing his family to
suffer. The family is cared for reason
ably .well, and out of the whole un
happy affair the most good is done to
the innocent sufferers from this mans
failure to do his duty"
Any system which can compel q lazy
or brutal citizen to do his duty by his
family is worthy of support and ap-
plause.
