MEMORY IN DOGS.

Some remarkable instances Of dogs
memories are given by a writer in the
"Scotchman." The late Major Fair of
Wells, ne says, received a Dandio Din
mont terrier puppy from weu-known
breeder, and kept her until nine months
old when she was sent back. She came
into my possession five Years later. One
day, upon meeting Major Fair on the
road, she ran forward. recognizing him
and showing great delight in her happy
doggy way. although she had not seen
him for over three years
Some years later Cwhen the dog was
nine years Of age ! went into local
BARRIERS shop and was surprised to see
and hear her eXcltedly showing signs OF
meeting a friend which she did by velp-
ing and jumping upon a mans knee and
trying to Hex his face. This man turned
out to be Major Fairs coachman. who
had brought her UP. and had not seen her
for over six years
Dogs have a mode of concealmg recog-
milton If It suits their purpose. \ friend
Of mine sold ID terrier 10 the late Baltic
Morrison Of Hawick Upon calling upon
the BailIe some three months later my
friend was surprised at the dogs taking no
notice of him. but on his way home at
night when about four miles from Ha-
wick, he happened to look back ami
saw the dog following him in a stealthy
manner, which It persisted in doins UNI

by carrier next day and never on any
future occasion recognized its old master.

THE LATE EDITOR wALCOTT.

Those of our readers remembering
Editor e. II. Walcott, whose death is
Just announced in Massachusetts, ana
who labored with Us in the early nineties,
will recall a genial, whole-soulcd man,
religiously conscientious in his work

WASTE.

Forest and field and orchard, mountains
of coal and ore.
Mighty has been their bounty, limitless
seemed their store:
So we have blthcly squandered. so we
have sacked and spoiled
Boosting about our progress, Dragging
of how we toled,
Drunken with natures bounty we laid
our plentcous gain
To the magic Of Yankee hustle. to the
vigor Of Yankee brain,
And We looted the goodly forests and
planted the wasteful crop.
And we hooted the careful prophet who
said that the loot must stop,
But we're learning our little lesson, and
we relish 1t not at all,
And were paying for past excesses in
bills that are far from small
We Quilted and gouEcd our forcsts-and
the floods came roaring down
TO ruin the farmers acres and ravage
and wreck the town
over and over and over W. planted the
same old field
With the same old crop repeated, then
sighed at the dwindling yield
And we wasted our coal and iron, nor
cared for the wealth we lost.
Till the price moved mp and onward, and
we srowled at the added cost
We are learning our little lesson, but we
have not learned It true,
For we waste in some directions the same
as we used TO do,
Our natural gas we squander to poison
the he.lthy air
We're wasting our cll-1ow blindly, and
nobody seems to care,
In factory, rm end forest were throw
Ing our wealth away.
And the bill for our careless living our
children will have to pay.
Tariff and tr;:sts and wages are problems
that must be faced,
But the greatest Of all our problems is
the problem Of careless waste

DR. Claxton points out that in several
States agriculture and Rural Life day"
has already been introduced into the
schools at the suggestion of the bureau
Of education. In other States exercises
appropriate TO the purpose are held in

education has issued a bulletin containing
material that can be used by teachers
and others in arranging an interesting
program.
Fittlngly prefaced with the County
Boys Creed" the bulletin includes sec
tons on mans struggle for food; the APP
