PAMPERED PET DOGS

Gold-mounted tortoise-shell comb,
Ieweled lookingglass, toothbrush, three
satin coats, three silk coats, two gold
embroidered coats for evening wear,
set of silver feeding spoons, light
dust coat for motoring, a gold mount

the outfits of pet dogs of wealthy So

as will be evident from a study of the
prize awards in recent exhibitions-it
should be pointed out that they spend
large sums on the care of their pets
for the simple reason that the latter
are in many cases worth hundreds Of
dollars.
There are many women, however,
who keep pet dogs, not for exhibition
purposes. but simply in order to lavish
on them the greater part of their
thought and wealth, and it is such
women who arouse indignation on ac-
count of their canine extravaganza.
There has just been opened in New
York, for instance, a large country
house which has been turned into a
toy dogs paradise, where society
women can send their pets for holi-
day or for the benefit of their health.
There is a special staff of men and
women to attend to the daily toilet
of the dogs, which is no small task,

,TENREc OF MADAGASCAR

One OF the strongest animals ever
seen In this country was recently
brought from Madagascar. 1t is the
tenrec, an insect-eater, and is sup.
posed to represent a very ancient
type of animal, now almost extinct,
and occurs nowhere else except on
that great island. AS far back as the
early middle ages, Arab traders made
their way In sailing vessels south
ward along the African coast of NADIA
gascar where they saw the giant bird
which came to be known, through the
stories they told about 1t, and later
celebrated In the Arabian Nights" as
the roc. Scientists today call 1t the
aepyornis, and are able to describe II
pretty accurately from its bones. But
only within recent years has it been
understood that Madagascar, original
ly part Of the mainland of Africa,
must have been separated therefrom
very long time ago-a consequence
being that it developed a fauna pecu-
liarly its own. Among its oddities
were the roc and the tenrec, one long
since past and the other passing.

GOOD PASTURES FOR SWINE
Glover Is Much Cheaper for Pigs Than
Grain and II Pays to Give Animals
All They VIII Eat.

A trip through the country will re-
veal the fact that good many OF the
pig pastures on the farms are not
pastures in fact, but simply small
runs.
This means that the pigs get little
grass or clover while 1t is at its best
early in the spring and then go with
out the rest of the season.
Now, If the pigs could be given a
good big pasture where they would
have more range and all the clover
they would eat and some to spare the
profit from them would be more
Glover is very much cheaper feed
for pigs than grain and 1t pays to

"Victuals, Not Talk" Dinner Motto.


A former secretary of state. William

as his great legal ability, had upon his
plate a crest with the words, Facts

An old congressman, who made no
pretensions about Latin, when dining
with the secretary said he supposed
the words meant "Victuals, not talk. >"

With Ford here is his son, Edsel,

Ford is moderate in all his habits.

said he now had only between ST.

He also denied a report that he had

banks willing to take his deposits,

Walters in the Belmont who ex-

breakfast were disappointed. He ate
two pieces of bacon, one corn muffin

a pot of hat water, no coffee. Ford
gave the waiter a 60-cent tip, but
explained afterward that he did not
believe in tipping. Such employees
should be paid so that tipping would
not be necessary, he said.
