ODD TASTE OF A DOG.
He Didn't Like Anything Except
Birds Nests and One Cat.
From Bailey's Magazine.

From Bailey's Magazine.
1 once knew a very eccentric dog. He
was a real old English spaniel, with long
body short legs with great bone, grand
head, jaws and teeth like a VOLTS almost
and long ears that would meet his nose.
Poor fellow! his temper was certainly un-
amiable, but 1 think this was caused by
the state of his health.
He was a very curious animal, never
would bite his best friends on the least
prOvocation. Nothing. though, onended
him SO much as being laughed at-that
was an insult he never forgave. If you
began to laugh at him he would growl in
very ominous manner, and il you per-
sisted in it would snap at you and give
you such bite that you would not dare
to try again.
II you wished to please him you had to
get a lot of old birds nests and give them
to him. one by one; he would carry them
about for some time and then he would
sit down and tear them to pieces. He
was not particularly fond of going for a
walk with any one, but if you got some
nests and gave him one occasionally he
would trot along with you as happily as
possible.
Another curious habit of his was that
he would never get out of the way for
any one. When he was trotting along he
never moved from his lire IL he saw any
one coming. but IL he saw they did not
intend to move, would begin to growl and
look SO savage that people usually made
haste out of his way. When he happened
to be running down a hiIf he did not
growl. but merely ran against people if
they did not clear out-his great weight
usually .upsetting them. OF which he took
not the slightest notice.
A great friendship arose between this
dog and a fine cat we had. and it was
very amusing to see them together. He
would walk up to the cat and begin to
lick her all over, and then she would rub
all around him, purring and seeming to
be very fond OF him, when all Of a sud
den she would stop. look up in his face
and spit at him. at the same time giving
him two or three sharp scratches. the
only notice of which he took was to close
his eyes so that they might not be hurt.

tional League base ball managers claim
Fred Tenny, the Giants first baseman, on
whom manager John ]. McGraw has
asked waivers. one Of the most prominent
and picturesque characters in the game
will pass out of the senior organization.
For over fifteen years Tenny, who en-
joys the reputation of being one of the
most gentlemanly of ball players. has
been in the game. If he goes out of big
league ball the fans will mourn his de-
parture.
Tenny has been suffering from sore
feet for the past year. and 1t is thought
that the recent operation he underwent
for growths upon the heels was RESPONSE
BILE for cutting off his long major league
base ball career. However. Tenny still
has game or so in him, and if the big
managers pass him by 1t is thought that
the minor league magnates will delight
in the chance to sign him.

To Stand Correctly.
From Hsrper's Bazsr.

The correct standing position has been
frequently described, but as frequently
forgotten. or at least neglected. Chest
up is the essential direction, and one
might almost say the only one needed.
since in lifting the chest the shoulders
arc at the same time thrown back and
down and the abdomen drawn in: to swell
the chest with full deep breath and TO
hold the position is the secret Of the cor
rect position. The chin should be held jn.
but not stif11y SO, and the weight should
be on the balls of the feet instead of ON
the heels. One cam teach ones self to take
invariably that position when rising from
