BE FAiR WITH THE DOG.
Givo It a S caro Deal and It Will Re-
pay You For Your Care.
Ouly muzzle a dog if it Is absolutely
necessary. The wearing sof a, muzzle
tends to make dogs cross and snappish,
It does not prove that a deg hue ra-
bies or is mad because it froths et the.
mouth. It may have a sore throat ora
fit.
Clipping the ears is a cruel and bar-
barous practice, wholly nunecessary,
depriving the animal or its natural
comfort and beauty and injuring its
hearing.
If you must tie up the dog have the
end or the chain secured to a ring on a
long wire so that it can have the run
of at least twenty or thirty feet.
Don't blame the dog for showing no
ambition if it is overfed on meate and
sweets. Its health and spirits will be
of the best if it is given simple but
substantial food and allowed the free-
dom of outdoor life.
Train the dog with firmness apd fair-
ness. The animal is eager to learn
what is wanted of it and when once it
understands will follow instructions
with almost human intelligence. -Our
Dumb Animals.
"A Right and Lawful Rood."
An example of the old rough and
ready methods of arriving at a meas-
urement is the Elizabethan way of get-
ting the "feet." Falentin Leigh, who
wrote on surveying, records that after
ervice on Sunday sixteen men were
stopped at the church dour, just as
they happened to come out, and drawn
up in line, left foot to left foot. The
length thus obtained was taken as "a
right and lawful rood to measure and
survey the land with," and a sixteenth
part of it as "a right and lawful foot."
Although big and little men were thus
roughly averaged against each other,
the results naturally varied to some
extent. Hence it is, as Shaw Sparrow
notes in treating of this "rood" as the
architectural "bay" which gives us the
"bay window," that a bay is some-
times found to be rather less than six=
teen feet of twelve inches.-Londoa
Chronicle.
Prodigality of Life In Ancient Egypt.
The reckless prodigality with which
in ancient Egypt the upper classes
squandered away the labor and lives
of the people is perfectly startling. IIt
this respect, as the monuments yet re-
maining abundantly prove, they stand
alone and without a rival. We may
form some idea of the almost incred'
lble waste When we hear that 2,000
men were occupied for three years in
carrying a single stone from Elephan-
tine to Sais, that the canal of the
Red sea alone cost the lives of 120,000
Egyptians and that to build one of the
pyramids required the labor of 360,000
men for twenty years.-Westminstet

Origin of the Mastiff.
Mastiff is a term applied to a very
large and powerful species of the ca-
nine family, and there is considerable
conflict of opinion regarding the origin
of the word. Some claim that it is de-
rived from the Italian mastino or the
French mastin, both of which signify
large limbed. This word, they say,
was gradually corrupted into masty, a
Lincolnshire expression meaning very
large, muscular or big, until it grad-
ually assumed its present form. Oth-
ers again say its true origin is the old
German masten, to fatten, because the
mastiff is a large dog and so seems
better fed than any other. -London

Eplotetus.
The "Discourses of Epictetus" were
written not by the philosopher himself,
but by his faithful pupil Arden, after-
ward the historian of Alexander the
Great. Arrlan tells ns that he took
down the sayings of his master at the
time they were delivered, and thus we
may rely upon the substantial correct-
ness of the discourses. Epictetus wrote
nothing, and but for the thoughtfulness
of his affectionate disciple we would
have known nothing of bis wonderful
teachings --teachings which have in-
spired many of the greatest men who
have lived. during the past 2,000 years.

them with grass. Tbis forms a root to
