MARBLE STONES ABOVE PETS

ter of London, England.

It may not be known to everybody
that in London there exists an exceed
ingly pretty cemetery devoted princi-
pally to mans best friend-the faithful
dog. Near the Victoria Gate, Hyde
Park West, stands the gatekeeper's
lodge, attached to which there is a
fair-sized garden, the last resting place
of many favorite pet.
Several years ago a favorite dog
C"Poor Little Prince"), which belonged
to the duke Of Cambridge, was run
over in the park, brought to the lodge
and afterward buried in the garden.
A marble stone shows the place where
he lies. After this many who had
heard Of the event requested to have
their dogs laid to rest in the same
plot of ground, and thus it came about
that the permission Of the duke and
the deputy ranger was obtained to al
low the garden to become a cemetery
for dogs.
1t has now been in existence many
years, and there are several hundred
graves, all beautifully kept. Some
people pay a certain amount per an
mum to have the little graves properly
attended to; some only pay when the
dog is buried; many call regularly.
The tombstones are pretty nearly all

ten thousand people had been buried

Ranches Converted Into Farms.

+ A correspondent in the West writes
that the most notable change now TAX.
ing place in that country, especially
In the southern parts of Alberta and
Saskatchewan, is the passing of the
ranch. These large blocks Of land are
being dissolved, so to speak, into farms
of ordinary size.
Today" writes this correspondent,
thousands upon thousands of acres of
land, vast stretches of clean prairie
that have for quarter of century
known little more than the trample of
the herds and the swish Of the cow
boys lariat, are blossoming out into
golden wheat fields and neatly plotted
farmsteads, and the timeworn romance
of the cowboy and the corral is giving
way to the modern romance Of the
reaper."-Mohtreal Herald.

TREAT INSANE LIKE BRUTEs

View of Passers-By.

"Other sights and sounds, by ne
means SO agreeable, meet the modern
traveller, and doubtless those who jour.
neyed through Damascus In Pauls
time as Well" writes DR.. Francis e.
Clark, founder of the Young Peoples
Society of'Christian Endeavor. "Never
have l seen more hideous objects than
the insane men OF Damascus. Some
ct them, probably those who are par
ticularly violent, are fastened with a
heavy chain to a ring in the wall Of
some house or public building. There
they sit upon the sidewalk day and
night, covered, If at all, from the blis-
tering rays of the sun or the. dews of
evening, by little awning Of burlap,
almost naked, crashing their teeth, or
perhaps with a stupid, dull indiffer-
ence in their eyes, depending upon the
charity Of the passers-by."

Clark says in concluding the chapter,

windows 1t is said that Saint Paul es-
