He who has erected beautiful

He who has erected 8 beautiful house has blessed whole community in building it. No one wants to build an ugly house thereafter. but strives to build a handsomer. Little by little it lifts the people from the low grade of insensibility to beauty, to appreci- ating it and following it. I think every man who has money should see to it that the town in which he lives is steadily growing more and more beautiful.-Henry Ward Beecher.

LIFE'S ANTHEM.
BY EMMA RoDEMEYER WATT

As the rivers derive substance
 From the little trickling streams, So our lives catch inspiration
 From the hearts most secret dreams, As the streamlets all unconscious
 Of their power flow along, So each thought and every action
 Goes to swell life's mighty song, Let us join in the grand anthem
 That will scatter pure delight, Banishing all earthly sadness
 Making stars in ife's dark. night.

DOG ACTUALLY
TALKS GERMAN
WONDERFUL ACHIEVEMENT OF
ANIMAL SEEMS TO BRIDGE
GAP BETWEEN BRUTE
AND HUMAN.

Chicago April 14.-The Tcchnica
World Magazine for May. out tomor-
/ row. will have remarkable leading
Iarticle-the first authentic description
I of the amazing feats of the speaking
dog. Don" of Hamburg Germany.
The Technical World win say:
when a few months ago faint ru-
mors about a dog endowed with the
gift of speech, first reported by Ger
man papers, gradually spread TO
America. most people skoptically shook
their heads, believing it an open mys-
tidcation or an effort of elf-delusion.
When, however, the most distinguished
men of science showed their interest
in that wondrous dog by a thorough
investigation of his capacities, doubt
was no longer permissible and the We
racity of the report had to be con-
ceded
"Don's case is both authentic and
unique and whatever reports on other
speaking dogs may be current should
be put down to effects of imagination.
There may be other dogs capable Of
initiating one or two words, very much
i'm the fashion OF parrots, as a purely
mechanical repetition of sounds to
which no meaning is attached. Don
however does speak and is the only
animal so far proved to do SO,
Speech to him is the expression of
an inward impulse TO communicate
with his master and other persons,
showing them his affection or request
ing the fulhllment Of some wish.
AT the age of six months, very
much earlier than a human baby, he for
the first time showed his extraordinary
gift by pronouncing the first articulate
word. He was standing near the ta-
Bile. looking with begging eyes at his
master and when the latter happened
to ask him: would you like to have
he clearly replied: 'Ha-
ben Chavez. After this startling
he obviously became the !
object of unusual interest.
ut is told of him that on once meet
ng an old woman from the neighbor- |
ng village on her way to the market, !
ne quietly stepped towards her, dis
.inctly pronouncing the words: Don
hunger, kuchen haben.' The poor wo- |,
nan was so frightened that she took !
% a speedy fright, leaving her basket
behind her, in the firm belief that the
log was possessed Of the evil one.
"The most wonderful thing about =
him is his talking with strangers quite
rs freely as with his own master. |
When therefore, DIR. Pfungst, the WELL
known expert in the psychology of an
mals. and DR.. Vosseler, director of the )
Geological Gardens, wished |
10 submit Don to scientific tests, |
hey had no difficulty whatever in |
making him pronounce every word Of !
his repertoire. The Photographic rec
lrds made on this occasion prove be- |
,ond doubt the identity of Don's |
speech with that Of human beings. |
There are, it is true, some slight diff
'erences in pronunciation due to diff |
'erences in the structure of the larynx, |
put these in no way detract from. the |
listinctness of the words"
