Bringing Up a Doq.

A writer in Country Life In America
gives some advice on the bringing up
Of dog. AS he tells it, the process
looks easy enough. The first ana most
important lesson for pup to learn is
to stop anything he may tc doing when
you say stop" and to continue when
YOU say ''All right" Ii we'll learned
this will explain to him all future com
mands. After this comes the lesson to
lie down when you command Down
and to stay down while you leave him
For this latter it is best to tie him tn
something and then if he does not drO],
when you call Down from distance
return quickly and. scoldinS. push him
down forcibly- A caress and II taste Of
food should be his reward if he does
right

NJ. Blanc will permit you to play any

that if one We're permitted to double

CHANCE FORECASTS.
Writers Of Old Who Oimiy Pointed to
Modern Inventions.

mOOSFu 1UvSHStOuSs
Chance phrases in the literary works
of other days describe with uncanny
exactness inventions of far later times.
For instance, we find in the "Pfolu-
sions of Strada the Roman. which
were published in the year 1917. what
might be held to embody crude de-
scription of wireless telegraphy.
Strada represents two friends as car
rying OH a correspondence by means of
a certain loadstone which has such
virtue in it that, if it touches two nee
dies when one of the needles begins to
move, the other. although ut ever so
great Il distance. moves ut the same
time and in the same manner
In 1914 Robert Hooke published Il
work wherein he observed that as
glasses improve the vision so ways
might be found to improve our other
senses ut is not impossible" says he,
'to hear whisper distance of fur
long, and perhaps the nature of the
thing would not make it impossible al,
though that furlong should be ten times
multiplied" This seems to be fail
forecast of the telephone.
In "Gulliver's Travels Swift causes
his hero to relate in the voyage to La
puta that the astronomers there have
likewise discovered the two lesser stars
or satellites which revolve about Mars
This has been held to constitute a sd
tire on sham science. Nevertheless
Professor Asaph Hall few years ast
| discovered the two tiny satellites.
| 1t was more than LOO years agt
that Lucian gave an account of Tire
manner wherein the inha bitants Of thu
moon drank lair squeezed or compress
ed into a goblet so that it formed 9
kind of dew This clearly suggests
liquid air.

scribes an aerial ship the sails Of which
were inflated by a whirlwind. thus i'm
