The Cost OF The Dog.

The dog is coming in for close scrutiny
from the economic viewpoint. II seems
inhospitable, 10 say the least, TO count
the value OF devotion in dollars and
cents, and mans best friend" has al
ways heretofore been regarded on sen
timental basis, but war is war, and there
is a growing inclination TO investigate.
II is estimated by the Manufacturers
Record that there are 5000, 900 dogs in
the United States. As source OF revenue
they would produce $4,000, 900 if taxed
at the rate OF s. head, provided the
owners OF LOT OF worthless ours did moi
kill them rather than pay the tax. The
same writer estimates tlst the average
dog consumes food worth 70 cents every
week. Authority for this figure is moi
given, but The argument that much OF the
food a dog esls would not be consumed
by humans in any event can be anticipated
with The statement that Il it were led 10
other animals, such as pigs and poultry,
II would be converted into food supply
for the people. Seventy cents week
for each Of 100000 dogs means s9l0.-
OOe, 600 year, which would feed good
many children in Belgium and Poland
and Armenia. Perhaps the figure IS toc
high; in any event The amount is Vey
large.

versity. Like Cambronue at Waterloo,
he would have had his bon-mot 10 cast

also had fine tenor voice which warbled
the topic songs OF the day, at times high
in vocal range-but not so elevated in
tone OF morals; yet these were by many
more appreciated than the usual psalmody
OF the sanctuary. Yea. 1t was even aver
red by some perverse sinners that these
spread abroad more geniality and kindly
feeling, which are the proper aims OF the
songs OF Zion. Teddy was surely the
