Tracing the Dogs Descent.

It seems to be generally accepted by
naturalists and the world at large that
the domestic dog is in some sense
collateral descendant of the wolf or
1ackal, says a writer in Harper's
Weekly.
A professor at the Natural History
Museum in Paris has communicated
results Of his study Of various canine
skulls to the academy of sciences. He
appears to have noticed certain per,
culiarities of growth which have hith-
erto escaped biologists. He states that
the skull of almost every species of
wolf and jackal differs from the skull
OF the shepherd dog to an extent that
makes it impossible that this dog
should belong in the same classified!
ton. The skull Of the Indian wolf, on
the contrary, shows some points of
resemblance. This, indeed, is the only
savage canine the top Of whose head
projects like that of the dog.
There are, moreover, other charac.
teristics which the Indian wolf has in
common with the dog, and which the
ordinary wolf does not share with
them, although his origin and that of
the dog have long been supposed to
be a common one.
The conclusion of this scientist is
that the Indian wolf is the progenitor
Of the shepherd dog and the blood
hound. There were two primitive races
Of dogs analogous to these which were
first domesticated in central Asia,
whence they passed. to Europe, and
there seems no reason to doubt that
the bloodhound Of today is the direct
descendant Of the dog spoken of by
the apcients as "the dog of the age Of
bronze"

Lemon Hill religious services that
Noah built better than the men who
constructed the Titanic. The rain did
not interfere with the services. Hav-
ing decided that the music pavilion
was too damp, DR.. Ely and his congre-
cation held their service on the piaz-
"a OF the historic mansion house.
"Noah's ship was constructed &C
cording to Gods plan. and therefore
perfectly served the purpose of saving
man and beast for $50 days against
the worlds greatest flood" said DR..
Ely. "The Titanic was built by SCI
entif1c men, according to the most i'm
proved plans, to serve the desires of
those who could pay most. but it did
not last five days on a comparatively
calm sea.
Sincerity in religion will not in It,
self save man. He who drinks
poison instead of pure water will die,
no matter how sincere he may be. If
a mans religion does not save him
from sin it becomes to him a mere
castle OF lies. Any religion that does
not break the power of sin is a de-
ception, and is in itself SINFUL"
More than score Of stalwart work
ers from Cramps shipyard attended
the service with their families. The
musical features Included singing by
the Lemon Hill chorus, the male
chorus. under DR.. George Conquest
Anthony, and the children's chorus.
under the leadership of Charles F..
Allen. Prof. Francis H. Green of
West Chester was the speaker at the

edges with narrow pale green ribbon.
Two smart little bows and long
loop of the same ribbon are attached
to the bag at the top, for singing 1t
over the wrist.
On one side, in the center, there
IS small hole, finished off with a
buttonhole stitching in pale green
silk, and through which the wool or
cotton may be drawn at will.
On both sides of the bag simple
design Of pale green leaves Is en-
broidered, and this design can quite
easily be worked from our sketch.
in The first place, an exact circle
should be marked upon the material
with tailor's chalk, and then it is a
simple matter to draw the little
leaves on either side of the line as
indicated in the Illustration, and at
forwards embroider them with pale
green silk of various shades, and this
must, of course, be done prior to max
ing up the bag.
A work bag of this kind is always
we'll worth the trouble of making, as
though the wool or cotton can be
easily drawn OF as required, the ball
cannot possibly escape and roll about
the floor, mishap which so often
happens with an ordinary little bag.

JUST MATTER OF ECONOMY
Sometimes Expensive Materials Arc
Not Necessity or Even Of the
Best Worth.

The girl whose skilled fingers ado
the dainty touches to her wardrobe.
instead Of paying for them ready
made, may find the experience Of 8
sister needle woman valuable In pre-
venting bad mistake. An ambitious
little maiden had just purchased some
handsome plain cream silk net for
guimpe with sleeves and was turning
away to seek tho counter where chif'
fon for lining it could be purchased
when a friend at her elbow remarked:
why don't you just use plain creaN
col0red cotton net of a fine quality
for the lining? My dressmaker adj
vised it, and it gives much mora
lacy effect"
No sooner said than done. The cot
ton net was purchased and carries
home, and was cut out exactly tho
same as was the silk net. The guimpS
was an entire success, so far as APP
pearance went. It fitted we'll, and
had very good effect with the cos
tune of cream colored cloth. But 1t
had not been worn three times when
its owner saw, with dlSmay, That the
edges of the silk net, at arms eye, at
elbow, and where it joined the collar,
were fraying out, inch lengths of the
heavy silk thread standing out from
the goods in every direction, thc:@
she had allowed ample at the sessf
to prevent any such thing.
On examining it, she discovered that
while the silk net is firmly woven, and
will not stretch perceptibly, net OF
cotton is quite the opposite in weave,
and stretches decidedly. 1t had stretch
ed, in this case, putting all the strain
on the silk net, which had yielded "all
along the line" 1t had to be darned
down on the cotton net, with sewing
silk, and little tucks had to be taken
in the cotton net to keep even that
darning from giving out.

Many Ocean Liners Have DlsAppearsd,
leaving No Survivor to Tell o.
-. s ,~. y " the Disaster. +. &s y. y

A writer in Chambers Journal re.
calls the number Of vessels which
have from time to time disappeared
mysteriously, leaving not single sur,
Vivor to tell the story. -" w..
In the North Atlantic service alone,
between 1S41 and 1890, no fewer than
"a big steamers were totally blotted
out Of human knowledge, together
with their crews and passengers, num-
bering 1,451. The President, with
1876 souls on board, was the first Of
these to be lost forever in 1841. The
City Of Glasgow disappeared in 1854
without leaving a trace, and she had
$50 souls on boad. In 1856 the Pa
cif1c, with living freight of 240, sail
ed from Liverpool In June, and waa
never more heard of. The Tempest,
with $50 souls, mysteriously disappear
ed in 1859. The City of Boston, with
ITO persons, vanished in 1870. The
Huronian, an Allan liner, disappeared
In 1902; and the British gunboat, Con-
dor, was lost in the Pacific in 1901. In
1893 cattle steamer, the Naronic,
with II aboard, was lost.
Az to the possible causes of the
catastrophes, it is only possible to
surmlse. Capsizing, damage from
within, such as explosion, breakdown
of machinery, or fire; or damage from
without, such as collision with an ice
berk or with derelict hulk, have all
been suggested to explain the losses
OF vessels. The Captain capsized, and
hundreds OF lives were lost, and it
is now generally assumed that the
Warathah capsized by reason OF top
heaVlness. AS to the damage to ma
ch1nery, there is the case of the City
OF Paris, which had big smash in
one OF her engine rooms in 1890. She
was near the Irish coast, but though
both engine rooms were filled with wa
ter In ten minutes, she was kept afoat
owing to her watertight compartments
for three days till help came to tow
her into Queenstown. In the case of
fire, everything, probably, would be
consumed to the waters edge, and If
this happened far from land, the
chances of rescue would be remote.
Heavy weather and tidal waves with
the older vessels, at any rate, were
probably other reasons for shipwreck.
