SHOW GREAT SKILL
Australian Sheepdogs Are Mar
=. vels at Their Work.

Of lntelllaenee-Work OF sheep
station impossible Without
b. ~ Them.

Sheepdog trials may be considered
national pastime II not national
snort in Australia. There is an annual
agricultural show in every town anu
village in the pastoral parts. Ihere
are general competitions on the lines
Of the American county and state fairs.
There are horse races, buck jumping
shearing, log chopping. and other
strenuous competitions. But not one
of these excites more interest than the
sheepdog trials; and In these tests
Australians have set the example OF
certain of the most serious tasks that
70 man and. q dog may be asked to &C.
complish with three strange sheep
sheep that had never previously met
until they had a moment before been
turned out from three separate pens to
be packed or gathered together by the
dog, It was the Australians who FIRST
put forward, and they still maintain
it, the maltese cross test. The eight
six-foot hurdles are set in the shape

of a width that will permit only one
sheep to pass through at a time. The
animals have to be driven north and
south and east and west, all the passes
being open at the time. The skill and
patience Of the dog are here tried to
the utmost, and there can be little
wonder there is a gasp of satisfaction
and a cheer Of Joy when the sheep
have been successfully driven through
these narrow ways. The Australian
sheepdogs are the smallest in use in
the world, but are quick and lively in
their work. It is no wonder that the
Australian gives much thought for his
cogs, for 1t goes without saying that
the work of the sheep station could
not be accomplished without them.
In ordinary cases it is reckonedr that
one dog can do the work Of half
dozen men; In many instances a dog
Is superior to so humans; and where
there are such vast flocks Of nimble
sheep, such as the merinos in Aus
tralia are, it would be impossible to
round them up so that they may be
examined, counted, and duly looked
over without the dogs. II

Eleonora Duse, the great italian
tragic actress, was once walking
through the private garden Of great
estate to which, on certain days. the
public were admitted. She had gone
so early that she was reasonably sure
of avoiding other visitors, says the
French journalist who relates the anec.
dote, for she dislikes extremely to at.
tract notice OF the stage. and desired
to enjoy the lovely lawns and flowers
undisturbed by stares. whispers. or
intrusive admiration.
For a happy half hour she was sue
oessful; = then. turning . corner sud.
denly. she found herself close to .
party of approaching tourists. She
tried to avoid them by stepping
through an opening In q high hedge Of
laurel. but her flight was checked by
a twig that caught in her hair. At the
same moment one of the approaching
tourists perceived her, and stepped for.
ward to release her. Then he saw her
face, and stepping back again, he
bowed low, and exclaimed Grammatical.

bestow her laurels upon that brow
in our presence. it ia surely permitted
that we offer tribute. Allow me,

Not until the entire party had been
presented and paid their compliments,
was the captive queen of tragedy dis

and permitted to escape.
