THE DOGS OF PERA.
Canine Pariahs Had Their Own
Regulations.

From the Queen.
Where are the SHOWS of yesterday"
For SHOWS read Pera pariahs, and i'm
agine mournfulness of that canine ship
load sent away to one of the islands in
the MarmOra. Some one had complained
that these four-footed scavengers made
Pera too clean, and so they were taken
away in the dead of night to starve to
death on an uninhabited isIend. Rumor
also had it that an enterprising glove
manufacturer had already purchased their
miserable hides before the breath Was out
of their equally miserable bodies.
But, for all their misery, most of them
were charming dogs, and I had a good
many intimate friends among them. Mark
Twain once called Pera street dogs lazy
because he saw row of them stretched
across the road and a flock of sheep
scraped over them. When the sheep had
passed, the dogs lifted their heads. blew
the dust out of their nostrils, and went
to sleep again.
Mark Twain had thought himself to be
lazy, but declared that the dogs beat him
on every point. He was mistaken: they
were not lazy. Their attitude was caused
by mournful and dignified submission to
the inevitable. What was the good of get
ting up and lying down again little fur
ther en-, when there would be another pro-
Questions of precedence among these
pariahs were as rigidly enforced as at a
mothers meeting Certain streets were
allotted TO certain dogs. If these dogs
went beyond their boundaries the others
Immediately fell upon them and killed
them. There was no fuss, no argument
The intruder simplys lay down and al
lowed the others to kill him. 1t was
their favorite way of committing suicide
when tired of being trOdden on or of
having kettles of scalding water thrown
over them.
Some of the student dragomans at Or
takeui adopted puppies and taught them
to retrieve tennis balls. If you wanted
puppy all you had to do when the
mother was not looking was to take one
from under hollow doorstep or a hole
in the wall, carry it home, wash il chat
was very necessary step. and give
1t the first square meal of it's little life.
After that. rather than desert you il
would have allowed any one to cut it
to pieces.

From the Los Angeles Times.
A French inventor has taken out a
patent for the catching of fish by means
of the telephone. 1t is stated that fish,
when swimming, emit certain sounds
which can be detected by the telephone.
The inventors apparatus consists of a
telephone receiver and detonator,
which are sunk in the water and con-
nected by wires TO a post of observa-
ton on the river bank. When fish in
any number PASS the receiver sound
is heard by the watcher, who has only
to press button to explode the deto-
nator.
