MY FRIEND THE COLLIE.

Many Commendable Points About This Fine Animal. The rough-coated Scotch Collie is one 0 i the most popular dogs among canine fanciers and breeders in England or America, writes A. D. Burhaus In Recreation Magazine. The columns of any dog journal bristle with business announcements of breeders. Suburban, urban and country folks are learning of the true value of usefulness of this splendid animal. He is a friend and trusty servant anywhere. The finest points about a Collie Is his head and expression, as breeders call it. A dog with an elegant coat, and general Collie form, but without a good head, is not worth much, according to the fanciers. The head is moderately wide and skull flat, with a clean cut mouth and rather lengthy over all. Ears want to be carried low and when the dog is on the lookout they want to be elevated well up , yet the tips should tip over even and gracefully. In coat he must be very heavy and long. The frill about his neck must be long and beautiful. Collies are either golden sable and white or tri-color, i. e., black, with white and tan markings on frill, breast, legs, head and ears. The sable and white Collies are the most popular in this country, as well as In their native land because of their extreme beauty. The white markings to be valuable must be a full, wide collar, white tip of tail, blaze in the face, white markings on legs, frill and breast. The more perfect these markings, other qualities being good in proportion, the more valuable the animal. I have been impressed greatly, during my few years’ experience with Collies, with their extreme intelligence. Having kept and bred fox terriers and Bostons previously, makes me love the Collie the more. Nothing that has come to my notice concerning either the fox terrier or the Bostonß has been disadvantageous to them. There is an indescribable something that fascinates one to a Collie above all others. He loves to obey. It has been bred into them so long that It is a fixed characteristic. He can so attach himself to you that nothing would ever let you part from him. Any breeder or dog fancier loves his Collie best —the warm corner in the heart is reserved for him! Why? Because he reciprocates. He will not stand a cuffing nor a kick—a sharp word of rebuke Is more than enough to corect him. It may be this tenderness of heart that makes him so affectionate. The time to get a Collie is when he is eight months’ old. If he Is much older It takes too long to win him. A few words on general care: In all favorable weather wash the dog once each week. Feed him twice daily of cooked food. Do not keep him too fat. Good muscular condition and a smart, alert Collie are not the result of too much feed. Once a week give half a teaspoonful of powdered sulphur in a pan with some milk. It keeps his blood in fine condition. Use a medicated animal soap when washing him. Disinfect the kennel with crude carbolic acid once a month. In fall and winter, when washing is out of the question, owing to the unfavorable weather, dust him through all his dense coat with a tobacco dust powder. It is a fine method of keeping his skin clean and insects off after contact with other dogs. Have him clipped in summer if convenient, and let him ga on the vacation with you. He will love the water and it will be a sin to leave him home. * ;

Program and Programme.

Our boys and girls have noticed, of course, that the dropping of the "me” from the word "programme” is becoming more and more general. This is not so much in obedience to the demands of the so-called "phonetic reform,” as it is a move towards uniformity in spelling words that have the tremination “gram.” The word comes regularly from the Greek “programma,” and really should be “programme,” but the advocates of the shorter form say that If we write "diagram,” "telegram,” “epigram,” etc., we might as well write “program,” especially as the final “me” is not sounded. But you should not fall into the incorrect pronunciation that many people art guilty of, and “pro-grum”; the accent is on the first syllable, of course, but the "gram” is distinctly sounded like “am.”

The Famous Hanging Gardens.

Every one, young and old, has heard of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, but few persons, perhaps, know how they were constructed. They were about four acres in extent, and were built on a base supported by pillars. They rose in terraces to a height of 300 feet, and It is said that they looked, from a distance, like a great pyramid covered with trees. Strange to say, they owed their existence td the whim of a woman, Queen Amytls, who grew so tired of the plains of Babylon, and pined so much for the hills of her native Media, that her husband, King Nebuchadnezzar, had the gardens built to please her.

The Lion’s Mouth.

The use of the lion’s mouth as the vent of a fountain is quite common, so much so that it cannot possibly be considered accidental. As a matter of fact, the custom came to us from the Egyptians, who adopted it because the annual inundation of the Nile takes place when the sun is in the constellation Leo, the Lion. The is too obvious to need pointing out

HE MOVED NO MORE.

A man with red beard and hair, the latter protruding In front from a hole In his woolen hat, freckled, homely, stood on a crest pearing at something in the distance. His attitude denoted surprise. He nervdusly ran his thumb under Ms left gallus, thrust the other hand In his pocket, took It out and shaded Ms eyes with it His had been the only cabin within ten miles, and now, since he had visited tMs part of hie domain, a log hut had gone up within two miles of him and smoke was curling from the chimney. Starting forward, he triangulated his cowhide boots toward the strange edifice. When he reached it he looked in at the open door. The only sound was from a loud ticking clock. A child about six months old lay asleep in a crib manufactured from the limbs of the trees growing on the ground, the bark remaining where nature had placed it. Presently he went to the door and locked out. No one was in sight. He turned. A flour barrel stood in a corner. Dipping his finger fa soot on the chimney, he wrote on the barrel head: “Dere Sur. I don’t want no naburs. Es you wont sell out to me I got to move. SIRUS MOFFATT.” Mr. Moffatt, having written his message, left the premises, casting a parting glance at the slumbering child. That night he slept but little. For years he had been moving away from his fellow men. He didn’t mind bears or coyotes or snakes, for they were his legitimate prey, if not companionable, but he didn’t like men, because he said “there’s a law agin shootin’ ’em.” He had moved many times and now, being over 40 years old, was becoming averse to change. Yet here was a family settled right under his nose. He waited a week, thinking that his neighbor would communicate with him, but he didn’t. So at the same time of day (6 in the morning) as he made his first visit he made another. He found the same conditions. The door stood open; the clock rattled off the seconds; the child slept. But there was one thing new. On a board over the fireplace intended for a mantel rested the lid of a cracker box on which was written: “WON’T BUY OR SELL.” Cyrus looked disappointed. He turned to the child. Five rosy toes peeped from under a blanket The man took the big toe between his thumb and finger very gingerly. It seemed made of wax, and he was afraid of crushing it. Then he put his forefinger again in the little palm to feel the clutch of the pink fingers, and when it came a grin overspread his ugly features. Then he walked to the fireplace, read the message again and grew serious. It angered him. Turning the box lid over, he wrote on the other side: “I’m cumin to morrer mornen at this time to drive you out.” As he was leaving he again caught sight of the child, paused, glanced back at the message he had written, pondered, then stalked out of the house and away.

The next morning, taking down his rifle from the wall, he went to his neighbor’s cabin. He expected that this time he would find his man and what other memebrs of the family there might be. He was surprised to find only the child. It was awake. It had kicked off its blanket, and a pair of chubby little legs were high in the air. It smiled at him. Approaching he clasped its two ankles In his great wrinkled fists. The child made a grab for his red beard and pulled sturdily. The noisy clock had ticked away some twenty minutes when the child suddenly took it Into its head to squall. Cyrus looked about for something to appease it, and seeing a nursing bottle half full of milk, he put the nipple into the little— one’s mouth. But it continued to squall' thrusting its arms forward. Cyrus took it up, sat down in the only chair in the room, gave it the bottle, and it was happy. So was he. Now, Cyrus had set his rifle against the chimney and was not position either offensive or defensive. He was ta-ta-lng and ba-ba-ing to the child as women do when suddenly he heard a voice say: "Han’s up, stranger!” The voice was a soft one, but Cyrus started. Looking up, he saw a woman standing in the doorway, covering him with a revolver. “I can’t,” said Cyhus, “ 'thout drop pin’ the baby.’ “Y’ come over to drive me out, did y’?,’ The words were not spoken in a fierce tone, Indeed, the woman was laughing at the picture before her. "Where’s yer man?” "Haln’t got no man. I’m a widder woman. My man died before the child was born.' Here were a lone woman and a child trying to get on without their natural protector, the most touching of all conditions. Cyrus surrendered in heart as well as in person. "Reckon y’ kin stay if y’ want to,” he said. “How did y’ happen to come here, enywayf* "My husband bought this property jlst before he died. I had nowheree else to go.” Cyrus Moffatt neither moved on any more nor did he wish to. A babe had softened him. He became its legal protector. F. A. MITCHELL. ■» i ■ ll — 1 —■» - 1 i-
