Philadelphia. Pa, July 26-Pearys
dog. the one that went 20 the north pole
now in the wolf row al the Zoo, is an
aristocratic animal
That dog must know something OF the
glory that the conquest Of the top OF the
world means" said his keeper to-day,
for he disdains TO be chummy with even
the full-blooded wolves We thought that
the commanders dog would find the
companionship he was accustomed 10 in
the wilds Of his bleak native habitat
when we put him with the safest OF the
sterner beasts, but somehow it looks as
II well have TO give him the polar bear
for company"
The keeper grinned and then he called
the dog: "Peary.' with an attempt at
cajolery. Peary curled his tail so proud
~ that it nearly cracked the vertebrae.
Whining. the animal seemed 70 say:
Take me out Of this" And, to the
keepers credit, Peary was understood
He was taken out. tied Of course. Then
began a prance around the grounds the

There was nothing vicious in Peary's
conduct, only desire for perfect free

When the children Joined in the race.
/ Mr. Keeper became frantic. He shouted
and gesticulated, when he tried TO hold
the strap with one hand. but all IN vain.
Dog and children had the time OF their
( lives
Several tots, who got in Peary's way,
were unceremoniously upset. to the az
fright Of their nurses, but these incidents
/ only served 70 reassure everybody, and
even the keeper made the discovery that
he had a treasure in the aristocrat from
farthest North. He changed his tone OF
voice and in less time than Il takes 70
tell It had Peary as traotable as the tame
fawn in an inclosure near by.
The aristocracy OF Peary assumed q
rather unexDlainable form. He has q
ravenous appetite for chickens 1t was
discovered when he was at Browns Mills
in New Jersey. Before that, Peary had

that their most marketable fowls. ~

Pretty Sunshade Effects.

From :ha NsW York Globe.
The sunshades in Partisan silks in
blurred effect are exceedingly pretty.
One model showed gray background
with floral pattern in mauve tones.
In another the alternating panels were
of light tan hue, the Partisan silk re-
peating this color with several harmonic
ing shades.
Some OF the new sun umbrellas are de-
eidedly attractive, the majority havins
handsomely carved good handles in
matching tone.
A dull powder silk umbrella has a han.
die in the exact tone. while one in light
brown silk has a carved handle that re-

Though popular supersutions may lack
reason or reasonable explanation. they
must have an origin, and this has formed
the basis OF quite an interesting book by
T. Sharper Knowlson. says the London
Daily Mall.

why Il should be placed on tho fourth

There is nothing more in this" /. is
stated. than that the custom was hand
ed down 10 the present age from the
practice OF our ancestors. who found the
left hand more convenient for such orna-
ments than the right in that it IS ever
less employed: for the same reason they
chose the fourth finger, whica Is not only
less used than either Of the rest. but is
more capable Of preserving the ring from
bruises. having this one quality peculiar
20 itself, that Il cannot be extended but
In company with some other finger,
whereas the rest may be singly stretched
to their full length and strsightness."
The old-fashioned notion that n shoe
should bring luck at a wedding is another
superstition curious 20 explain.
