1 noticed a change In their behavior.
At first they were apart from one an
other, very yaspicious and very prone
to fight, but after not very long while
they began to come together and run
in packs The dog. you see. always
was a social animal. and this was true
before ever he came to be domesti-
Gated by man. In the last days Of the
world, before the plague. there were
many, many very different kinds OF
dogs-dogs without hair and dogs with
warm fur, dogs SO small that they
would make scarcely mouthful for
other dogs that we're AZ large as noun
tain lions. Well. all the small dogs,
and the weak types. were killed BY
their fellows. Also. the very large ones
were not adapted for the wild life and
bred out As result the many differ
ent kinds Of dogs disappeared. and
there remained only, running IN packs,
the medium-sized wolflsh dogs that
you know today.
1.-THE horses also went wild and all
the fine breeds we had degenerated
into the small mustang you know to-
day. The cows likewise went wild, as
did the pigeons and the sheep. And
that few Of the chickens survived
you know yourself. But the wild
chicken of today is quite a different
thing from the chickens we had in
those days."

Potations.

Marines are sort of first cousins to
soldiers. Mighty little difference be.
tween them, excepting that a marine
doesn't get seasick as a general thing,
and soldiers always do when they get
chance.
At local hotel where they sell lit
tie libations at two-bits per, they are
telling pretty good story about q
marine who came ashore from one OF
the American warships recently and
started to invest lot of his months
pay in things they sell over the bar,
says the San Francisco Chronicle. He
started to do this thing at the water
front, where libations are a dime
apiece. and gradually worked his way
uptown to this hotel. where It's two
bits shot. And in the hotel cafe he
butted into his lieutenant.
The lieutenant called him down in
front of the entire crowd. Brown"
he said, you left the ship two hours
ago, cold sober. and now you're lit up
like torchlight parade. Have you
got any idea you can drink all the
booze in town."

down through the centuries Arat
hosts have been led by girl riding
on blackened camel. singing songs
of encouragement to her own side and
insult to the other. According to the
strict rules Of the game her capture

while in the event of victory she led

Bad Custom In Industry.

At least one state In this country has
taken definite means to prevent the
dangerous custom of Shuttle kiss
ing" custom which results in dis
seminating tuberculosis and other
diseases: Similar action Is now be-
ing sought in England. AS reported
in the Scientific American, United
States Consul Ingram of Bradford
England. refers to the threading Of
shuttles by the quick sucking motion
known as kissing the shuttle" and to
the dangers resulting directly from
the inhalation of lint and dust and
the further danger Of infection as shut
ties are interchanged. 1t appears that
disinfectants are employed and refer.
ence is made to the fact that one
weavers' association in report sug.
gests that the real remedy is self.
threading shuttle while another as
sociation expressed the opinion that
a regulation making the use of self
threading shuttles compulsory could
be made without any harm to the
trade. While self-threading shuttles
have been devised, it would seem that
the field, in the event of compulsory
regulations, is sufficiently large to en-
courage improvements

But 1t was not to be. What happened

Another day, and at Niles there
