Work ou the new sc hool building progressing rapidly as oeaihlo under all the circumstance. It Is uow suf ficiently oomph-ted to give a very fair Idea of It exterior appearance, aud, In our opinion, architect C. B. McNally Is to be compllineuted Usiu the skill and artistic taste manifested In the design ami general structure of the building. The exterior view Is very pleasing lo the eye, and quite artistic in style and finish. The genera! structure of the building could hardly be better adapted to (he purpose Intended than It Is. The entrance way affords ample room for accew into and exit from the main building, aud tbe large halts, which til vhle tbe four school rooms (two ou each aide) of both upper and lower story, are amply provided with suita ble cloak rooms, etc. The school rooms will be heated with steam from an en glue in the basement. Mesm. Bhiiin Bros, are to be congratuhited upon the artistic style they have pulntcd the building. Tbe many glowing colors, pink, white, cream, brown, etc., give th building a gorgeous exterior, and makes It very attractive to the eye. There are three clock dials painted on the cupola, oue facing south, one enst, aud the other north, while "public school" and the legend "IW atnudt out In bold relief upon the front of the bell tower. The mechanical work, fc, the wood structure gives evidence of first-class workmanship, and the brick work of the basement Is fairly good, but the archways umlcruenth the building evideutly need attention.

In writing of the native dog of OeB' tral America Frederick Boyle brings tor ward a theory as to how dogs form the habit of bsrluug. He was discussing with an old resident of the country tome trait of the "coyote," as the native wolf ia called, but which more nearly roeero bles the dog. Dogs will never go wild to long as they can find a master to serve, and more especially trained dogs. The coyote never barks, and only galloiis when pur sued. In regard to the first of these points, says Mr, Hymn, a remark made by an old Indian struck mo. "Why wont these coyotes bark uke other dogr I asked him, pointing to one was tryiug to reclaim, "and why do they only howl ana the pups gmntr Hw snawer was, "He won't learn. "Not learn?' said L "What do yon nieanr . 'No," be replied, "not learn, for if be wre of an honest breed be would bark, to try and Imitate hi master, or at all vents tlie other dogs, but all barking proceeds from dogs imitating their mas ter SBbout. 1 be master shout to frighten away cattle from his maize field the dog barks directly; the master shout to drive iu cattle to the corral, and the dog barks also. In fact, the dog imitates hit master when he barks; be trie to speak, but cannot." I give this curious observation at tbe only attempt I ever heard to account for tlie barking of our tiune dogs. No wild breeds make any noise except howling and snarling, nor under the best cir cumstances will they learn to bark until the third or fourth generation, a length ot trial which Mr, Byam doet not ap pear to have given the coyote. A Thief lie too tor. "When wo started I noticed," said one of a party of jewelers who bad camped tn the wilds of Canada, "that one of our number was incnuiliered with a large box. The second day in cnnip twe watches disappeared, and each member of the party began to look upon Uie others with silent suspicion. Finally, as the thefts were repeated, a meeting was called, and every man pleaded not guilty. No one up to that time suspected tlie honest French Canadian lad we hod en gaged as a servant. lie was questioned and nlao entered a prompt and emphatic denial. We all believed his protestations of innocence except the man with the box. " 'Gentlemen,' said be, 'somebody in the party took those watches, and I pro pose to Ami out who. I have here a thief detector,' pulling out an electrio battery and winking at the crowd. 'If there is thief among us this will point hun out.' Every man took his turn at the battery. The boy watched tho perform ance in wonder. He hod nover teen inch a queer arrangement before, but as everybody who touched the coils escaped without harm he stepped bravely to the front when it came to his turn and took hold. A sudden change dime over b im. The owner of tlie battery had turned on its full force, and the victim gave a yell of pain and horror, and fell to the ground screaming: 'Save met gave met I took 'em, but I'll never do it againr" Jew elers' Weekly.

The poorer classes have homes th would hardly be considered fit for cows In America, and in fact the cow live with tho family, The floors are below the level of tlie roadway, and there are little windows about the size of port holes, Most ot the houses are of one story, and it is not uncommon to build a house against the side of a bill, so that there will be no bock wall. Stepping down into the house you find the cow stable on one side and on the other the kitchen and the private apartmonts of the family. . Each room has a stone fireplace, and all tlie cooking is done with cow dung mixed with straw. There are no tables and few chains, and it is a curious thing thut a largo part of the heat of the room comes froni the animal heat produced by the cattle in the stable which adjoins the kitcheu. The houses of the wealthy and middle class of Armenians are more comfortable, and in the big Turkish cit es you will find Armenians occupying palaces. In the country, however, they havefowof the comforts of Christen dom, and the chief furniture consists of divan running around three sidas of tho room covered with Portion rugs and resting on a carpet of gray felt Frank (J.
