In ivrittnir of the native dog of Cen tral Atneriru Frederick Boyle VHr for ward a theory as to how dogs form the habit of barking.. He Wfte discussing with an old resident of tho country some traits of tho "coyote," as the native woll Is called, bnt which more nearly resem bles tho dog. Dogs will never go Avllu so long as they can find n mutter to serve, and more especially trained dogs. The coyote nover barks, and only gallops whon pur sued. In regard to tho first of these points, says Mr. BynuO it remark made by nn old Indian struck me. 'Why won t these coyotes bark like other dogsT I asked him, pointing to one was trying to reclaim, "and why do they only howl and tho pups grunt?" His answer was, "He won t learn." "Not learnr1' said I. "What do you mean?" 'No," he replied, "not learn, for if he were of un honest breed he would bark, to try and imitato his master, or at all orenta the other dogs, but all barking proceeds from dogs imitating their mas ters shout. . The mnster shouts to frighten away cattle from his maize field the dog barks directly; thermaster shouts to drivo in cattle to tho corral, and the dog barks also. In fact, tho dog imitates his master when he barks; ho tries to speak, but cannot." Igivothis curious observation as the only attempt I over lieurd to account foi the barking of our tatuo dogs. No wild breeds make 'any noise except howling and snarling, nor under the best cir cumstances will they leant to bark until the third or fourth generation, a length of trial which Mr. Byaui does not ap pear to have given the coyote. A Thief Detector. "When we started I noticed," suidone of a party of jewelers who had camped in the wilds of Canada, "that one of our number was incumbered with a large box. Tho second day in camp, two watches disappeared, nnd each membei of the party began to look upon the others with silent suspicion. Finally, as the thefts wcro repeated, a meeting was called, and every man pleadednotfuilty. No one up to that time suspected the honest French Canadian lad wo had en gaged as a servant. He was questioned and also entered a prompt and emphatic denial. We all believedrhis protestations of innocence oxcept the man with the box, " 'Gentlemen,' said he, 'somebody in the party took those watches, and I pro pose to find out who. I havo here n thief detector,' pulling out an electric battery and winking nt the crowd. 'If there ia a thief among us this will point him out.' Every man took his turn at the battery. The boy watched the perform ance in wonder. He had never seen such a queer arrangement beforo, but as everybody who touched the coils escaped without harm ho stopped bravely 1o the front when it canto to his turn and took hold. A sudden change came over him. The owner of the battery had turned on Its full force, and tho victim gave a yell of pain and horror, and fell to tho ground screaming: Savo iriel save me! I took em, but I'll never do it again I " Jew elers' Weekly. The Armenian Houses. The Armenian houses of Armenia proper aro by no means comfortable. Tho poorer classes have homes thai would hardly be considered fit lor cowa in America, and in fact the cow lives with the family. The.floors are below the level of the roadway, and there are little windows about the size of. port holes. Most of the houses aro of one story, and it is not uncommon to build a house against tho side of a hill, fo that there will be no back wall. Stopping down into tho house you find the cow stable on one side and on tho other the kitchen and the private apartments of tho family. Each room has a stone fireplace, and all the cooking is done with cow dung mixed with straw. There are no tables and few chairs, and it is a curious thing that a large part of the heat of the room comes from the animal heat produced by the cattle in the stable which adjoins the kitchen. Tho houses of the wealthy and middle class of Armenians aro more comfortable, and in the big Turldsh cit ies you will find Armenians occupying palaces. In the country, however, they have few of tho comforts of Christen dom, and tho chief furniture consists of a dlvan running around three sides of tne room eovereo wttu Persian rugs ana resting on n carpet or gray felt. Frank Q. Carpenter in National Trib une. A Stimulant to the Oai Industry. Many of those who were interested in the manufacture and sale of gas in this country have been much exercised by the threatened supersession by tho elec tric light of the older illuminant: but thoro is now every reason to believe that instead of injuring the gas industry, the introduction of electricity for illuminat ing purposes will stimulate it to on un limited extent. Not only has the fact been established that the superior brilliance of electric light in streets and stores whero it is used calls for more light in competitive Einianons, wnero gas alone is employed, but it has been demonstrated that the use of gas in engines as a motive power to anve electric ngnt machinery will produce from five to six times the light that could be obtained by burning the same amount of gas in the ordinary way through n burner, A now field lias thus been opened up for gas companies to work, in which the electric light will be tneir any instead of their competitor.

After the serv ice is over a most ancient and curious custom takes placo, which is both inter esting and amusing to the visitor. As tbe president leaves the chapel be passes down the middle aisle between the lines of standing seniors, who all bow very low at nts passage, it is almost funny to see tho men double up and bend almost to the ground, and it is bard to repress a smile. At the end gallery seats aro reserved for spectators, and during "Prom."' week, when these seats are filled with pretty girls, the point of een eral interest is generally that end of the chapel and not the 'other.

Exchange. A Cold JJay for a Fanny Slan. Talking about making geopla laugh Lew Dockstader says; I remember I once sat up two nights to prepare a batch of new jokes and then sprung them on my audience. The house was packed with people. Not a smile, not a ripple. Finally I began to weaken. The cold chills were playing peek-a-boo up and down my spinal col umn. I was in a refrigerator. At last in desperation I walked to the middle of the stage and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, I merely tell these things; I don't explain them." The remark caused a kind of a con sumptive grin. Since that time I have told some of those jokes in every large city in the United States, and they have proved to be the best things I have ever had. Tbe secret of how to raise a laugh is always in tbe kindergarten stage. No matter bow hard a man trios he never seems to get beyond the ABC of it Ernest Jarrold in New York Journal.

Afub T0ILEF8 OF ANIMALS. 8AND BATHS AND WATER BATHS FOR BEASTS AND BinDS. Most of the Smaller Creatures Are Here Psrtlcnlsr -mlOi Their Appearance Than a Large Part of the Unman Familjr. Metlioils of Some of the Birds. Brashes and combs niost animals carry with them. "Urilliantine" oUo in car ried in a small and bandy reservoir by all ducks and divers. Mnd serves for cold cream and vaseline; dust for fuller's earth nnd pearl powder, and water, as with us, is perliapn the most important necessary. But birds especially are mighty particular about the quality of thoir "toilet dust," and equally nice as to the water in which they prefer to wash. Some use water only, some water or dust, others dust nnd no water. Par tridges are a good example of the dusting birds, and are iniot careiiil in tho selec tion of their dust baths. Dry loam suit them best. But perhapn their favorito place is ft meadow whero a few turfs have been re moved. There they scratch oat tho loam, and shuillo -backward under the grass roots till their feathers are full of the cool earth. In wet weather they And, if possible, a heap of burnt; ashes on the site of a weed fire, and dust there. Sparrows, ou tho contrary, always choose rood dust, the dryest and finest possible. Larks also are fond of the road, and dust thero in the early morn- l.. ... T..l 1 1. 1, n .. 41.At. fanw and choose the dry, gritty pan wnere tho horses' hoofs tread. Wild ducks, though feeding by the salt water, prefer to wash in fresh water pools, and will fly long distances Inland to running brooks and ponds, where they preen and wash themselves in the early morning. But though passing so ttmch time on the water, ducks seem to prefer a shower bath to any other; and in heavy rain they may be seen opening their feathers and allowing the rain to soak in, after which they dress the whole surface with oil from the reser voir which we mentioned abovo. Swal lows and martins are as nice in their choice of bath water as any "profes sional beauty;" nothing but newly fallen raLi water thoroughly pleases them, and if tempted to bathe, it is generally by some shallow pool in the road which an hour's sun will evaporate. a falcon's bath. We have never seen hawks or falcons bathing when wild. Trained birds in good health bathe almost dally, and the bath of a peregrine falcon is a very care ful performance. But no nymph could be more jealous cf a witness than these shy birds, and it is not until after many careful glances in every direction that the falcon descends from her block and -wades into the shallow bath. Then, af ter more suspicious glances, she thrusts her broad head under the water and flings it on her back, at the same time raising the feathers and letting the drops thoroughly soak them, After bathing head and back she spreads, her wings and toil fan like on the water and rapidly opens and shuts tbem, after which she stoops down and splashes the drops in every direction, Tho bath over, she flies once moro to the block, and turning her bock to the sun, spreads every feather of the wing and tail, raises those on the body and assists the process of drying by a trem ulous motion imparted to every quill, looking more like an old cormorant on a buoy than a peregrine. Cats, large and small, make the most careful toilet of any class of animal, with tho exception of some of the opos sums. The lions and tigers wash them' selves in exactly tbe some manner as the cat, wetting the dark, India rubber like ball of the fore foot and the inner toe. and passing it over the face and behind the ears. CLEANLINESS OF A DOO, One of the most charming pets we have kept, and the most particular as to washing and brushing its feet and fur. was a lovely brown opossum from Tas mania. "Sooty phalangist" was, we be lieve, its scieutibc name. It was cov ered with deep rich brown far, had a face something like a fox, a pink nose. hands with a nailless thumb, and long cinws on l lie lingers, it washed its feet every two or three minutes, Water rats aro very clean animals, and wash and brash their faces "like Christians." We saw one on a pond at Welling, in Kent, swim out to pick up the blossoms of an acacia tree which were falling on tho water. After daintily eating each flower on the bonk be lickca his hands, wiped his mus taches and swam off for another. We also tried an acacia blossom, but except a slightly sweet flavor, could find noth ing to account for the rat's taste for them. Sporting, dogs, which are used in mud, snow and wet, are strangely clever and quick in cleaning and drying their coats, and it is a sure sign that a dog has been over tired if he shows any traco of mud or dirt next morning. Most of their toilet is done with the touguo. but they are very clever at us ing a thick box bush or the side pf a haystack as a rough towel. One small spaniel "'hich we allowed to live in. tho house well aware that if he returned dirty he would not be admitted indoors. About an hour before the closo of the Jay's shooting he used to strike work and begin to clean himself, and if urged io do more would slip oS home and pre sent himself neat and clean in the din ing room. One day the dog bad been left at home, and his master returned and seated himself, wet and with half frozen drops of ice stickingtohia gaiters, by tho fire. Pan ran up and carefully licked off the froien ice -and snow, stop ping every now and then to give an anx ious look, which said as plainly as pos sible, "Dear me, if I don't get him. clean quickly he will be sent to lie in the stable." Spectotor. Tbe number of children who have de cayed teeth, and in many cases a port of the first set gone and the second set badly broken down, is too great. Oned Hlsa an Arm. In the summer of 1877 Gin. Jcbal A. Early was a guest at the Arlington hotel, Hot Springs, Ark. Among the other notables stopping there was tbo then somewhat famous ex-Governor Stearns, of Florida, who had been recently ap pointed by President Hayes a commi. gion to adjust tbi claims of citUena of Hot Springs 'ho had improved real estate afterward decided to belong to the national government. Qne day tho two'gentleinen, who had no personal ac quaintance, met in the hotel ofilce, "Gen. Early," said Stearns politely, "yon ought to bo willing to shake hands with me. Yon owe me an arm," and he indicated his empty sleeve. "How is that, governor? queried Early, at the same time extending his hand. "I lost that arm in the cause of the Union at Winchester, where you com manded the Confederate army." "Indeed f responded the general suave ly, as he stroked bis long gray beard and slightly straightened his bat fig ure.
