Canine Habits.

Dogs when, watching things keep one of their fore paws doubled up be- cause in their wild state they were used to approaching their prey step by step and kept one paw doubled up to be ready to advance it with all pos sib1e caution at the next opportune moment This habit of crawling to- ward their prey, advancing cautiously while preparing to rush or spring, may be observed in the meeting of two dogs, strangers to each other, any day. particularly in the country. The dog who sees the other first. after giving him a cautious look, invariably lowers his head and tries to conceal himself by crouching. a maneuver necessary in the wild state. It's continued now adays either in play or as a matter of expedient. Either the dog is preparing for an attack or by lying down gives notice to the other dog that he is friendly and doesn't care to fight Boston Herald.

MT. Bernard Shaw was to speak at the dinner of the Society of Authors, and a place had been set apart for him next to Mrs. Tweedie. But Shaw, be- ing a vegetarian. did not put in an ap- pearance untif@ the meat course was over. Meanwhile his place was taken by another author. A gushing lady who sat opposite poured out praise upon this gentleman all through the meal, telling him how greatly she admired his writings. Finally she begged for his autograph and asked him to write under his name, Man and Super man. Don't you love it the best?'' she asked. Never read it in my life" ''Whatl You do not mean to. say that you are not Bernard Shawl" ''No, '' was the disconsolate admission. eI'm only Lewis Morris, the poet.'' The lady was disposed to be generously forgiv- ing ssNever mind she said; ''you had better sign your autograph all the same. From Mrs. Alec Tweedie's Book of "Reminiscences"

 Paul McA11ister in the role of Wilbur Emerson the bankers son, is giving the performance of his life. Virile, unctuous and full of that vitality which shows itself in his every move he makes a capital lover, superb young aristocrat and one of the best leading men ever seen here.
 Brenda Fowler is showing her worth in her every action. For two weeks now she has had parts to play which, when properly played, prove ability. She does not have to depend on sym pathy, but, coming here a stranger, has capitivated her audiences and wins applause which tells only too plainly her standing. Miss Fowler is ., per sona1 triumph.

Walking and Muscular Work

The muscular work performed in the simple act of walking is much greater than most of US have any idea of. Walking at the moderate rate of three miles an hour is equivalent to lifting the body perpendicularly through one twentieth of the distance walked. If the person walk one mile at the rate mentioned the amount of work done would be equivalent to lifting the body perpendicularly through a distance of 264 feet Supposing a person weighing 15O pounds walks five miles, he is do- ing work which equals the lifting of nearly eighty eight tons one foot high. Yet all the movements of walking are. in the case of a healthy person, per formed quite subconscious1y. so that all the muscles employed in the act are actually exercising and develop ing themselves.

''I do not believe in any real enjoy ment outside of work, or interest be longing to it," G. F. Watts said.
 When he was young he used to for sake his bed, because sleeping in com fort robbed him of the first daylight hours, and he preferred to lie wrapped in rugs on the hard floor, so as to waken early and begin work. When he was old and frail-for he lived to be etghty-seven and painted to the end the same spirit made him impatient of the dark winter mornings
