THE NAMING OF DOGS.
Oddities In tho Nomenclature oi
Various Breeds.
An Interesting; Chapter on the PMallaurr
tlaa d Origin of Canlnoa of
Marked Character
istics. Doff nomenclature is quite an interest
ing subject, says a writer in the Detroit
Free Press. Take, for instance, that
favorite canine known as the terrier, a
name given the breed; from his habit of
following game into burrows in the
earth, whicn latter in Latin is termed
terra. By way of quick gradations the
word was metamorphosed into terrier.
A skye terrier is so called because the
breed was once chiefly raised on the
island of Skye, one of the Hebrides,
The celebrated Dandy Dinmont terrier
obtained its distinctive title from the
fact of its beinn; depicted as the favorite
of a character bearing that name in
Sir Walter Scott's "Guy Mnnnering."
The fox terrier was so named because it
was originally kept as an addition to
every pack of foxhounds. Bloodhounds
derive their name from the possession
of a peculiar power of scenting the
blood of a wounded animal. In olden
times stag hunting was a favorite
amusement of the nobility, and the
dogs used in such sport part grey
hounds and part bloodhounds were
given the name of staghounds. Fox
hounds, in like manner, were trained to
hunt the wily animal. Various expla
nations have been given of the origin
of the term greyhound, some authori
ties claiming that the prefix grey is
taken from Fratus, meaning Greek;
others that it signifies great, while still
others say that it has reference to the
color of the animal. In no other breed
of hounds is the blue or grey color so
prevalent, and consequently the last
mentioned seems the most plausible.
Harriers are chiefly used in hunting
hares in England, while the title bea
gle, applied to a breed which is an in
veterate enemy of rabbi's, is probably
derived from the Celtic beag, or bite, or
the Welsh back, signifying little, they
being in reality a small species of hound.
A pointer is so called because of its
habit of stopping and pointing at game
with its nose, while the setter gets its
name from a like habit, excepting that
it crouches instead of standing when
pointing under similar circumstances.
Newfoundland dogs were originally na
tives of that country and Labrador,
from which circumstance they receive
their title. In the same manner the
noble St. Bernards are so called from
the famous monastery of that name in
the Alps. That rather dangerous breed
called Spitz or Pomeranian dogs, a va-
I riety of the Esquimau, were first bred
in Pomerania, llussia, but the popular
name of Spitz was probably derived
from the erroneous notion that they
originated in Spitzenbergen. Spaniels,
of which there are many breeds, are
supposed to have first come from Spain,
from which circumstance is derived
their distinctive names. Charles I. was
an ardent admirer of a small variety of
this animal, and from that arose the
designation of his pets known the world
over as the King Charles.
Mastiff is the term applied to a very
large and powerful species of the canine
family, and there is considerable con
flict 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. Others, aga.a. 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. Poodle is derived from the Ger
man pudel, a puddle or pool. They are
without doubt the most intelligent or
all canines. The shepherd dog called
the collie in Scotland, from the Gaelic
cuileao, or puppy gains its title from
the fact of its being used to wotch
sheep and protect them from maraud
ers of every description. As to tho
derivation of the word bulldog it is
only necessary to state that at one time
this species waR exclusively used In bull-
baiting, and from that circumstance
arose the name by which it is univer
sally known. A cross between this and
the terrier is appropriately termed the
bull terrier.
THINGS PREFERRED TO WEALTH.
Few People Antuully Ko Constituted aa to
Be Battollnu with It Alone.
As a matter of fact, the chief im
pression produced by great wealth,
even in America, is simply curiosity,
not admiration, hardly even envy.
There arc many thiugs that people
really value more than wealth at any
time perhapsi, thinks Harper's Bazar,
valuing wealth only as u means for
these things. In youth peoples prize
amusement, pleasure, love; and wealth
is thrown away recklessly for the sake
of such ends. After the maturer tastes
are developed people have no objection
to wealth for the sake of other aims
which it may promote, but it is not a
substitute for those aims. The artist
loves art, the man of science loves
science, the student loves study,
the inventor loves invention, the
domestic man loves home. Even the
man of action loves action mainly as a
thing attractive in itself. He would
readily accept wealth as a means of
achieving his other purposes, but he
would not sell those purposes for
wealth. The nrraof of this in that h
noes not; indeed, he often Impover
ishes himself for liis own pursuits. "Be
yond a very modenate account," wrote
Coleridge, "I regard money as a real
evil." The man of other pursuits know
that one cannot po ssibly be very rich
and carry on those pursuits alao, so en
grossing is the mere care of property,
and so difficult and absorbing ia the
wise use of it. Many a prominent artist
or author has been simply ruined for
the purposes for which he was created
by becoming heir to a large estate; not
that it demoralized bim otherwise, but
it left him no time for his natural
work. Volumes have been written on
the suppression of genius by poverty,
but very little hiss yet been said on the
-wrecking of genii s Uivuga) waaUUa.
HIS NOTIFICATION.
How Thornton Exeouted Ela Com
mission. "She'U have to go; ain't no way out o'
that. She'U have to skip," said Dave Kin
ney. Be squinted in a cross-eyed manner at
the cracker-crumb on his tawny, scraggy
beard, and transferred it carefully to his
mouth. There was a wedge of cheese on
his left knee. When the Fence Corners
School Board originally Fennett's Cor
ners, but thus aptly abbreviated held a
meeting, it was, by general agreement, in
old Hanks' grocery, where crackers and
1 cheese, and mayhap a herring, might re
lieve its tedium. But to-night there was aft
alleviating interest.
"About the sua of it," said Silas Saua
ders. Be preferred tobacco, and rolled a
quid under bis tongue. "This ain't no place
fer her here. Why, I wouldn't answer for
the consequences if the staid ; there ain't
no tellin' what, micrht hnnnen- nap what
deviltry them boys might be up to. Look I
at Corny Rourke.su foot two or three if
he's an inch, and chuck full, chuck full, 1
chuck full! He's always be' h the one to
put the teachers out, aud there ain't no
aoubt but what it's bis idee this time. Bar
ricadin' the school-house right out bold
first day o' school ; now, who but Corny'd
'a' thought 0' thatt"
There was something of contemplative
admiration in his tone.
"Goin' to be done, whoever's doin' it,"
said Kinney, exploring his cracker-bag. 1
"Goin'togil in at eight o'clock to-morrow
mornic' an' Bhut up the door and fasten the
windows, end any toucher that gits in '11
have to git in through the key-hole er s
crack; what they xiiii."
He had told it before; He had called the
meeting lor the purpose of telling It. But
it was interesting to dwell upon.
There was an impressive silence.
"Wall, we'll have to give her notice.
You're jest the one to do it, Thornton eh t" 1
Saunders observed to the third member
of the board. He was himself uneasy.
"She get along fust-rate, summer term," he '
added. He appeared to feel a vague and
wholly impotent regret. "Needs the money,
should jedge."
"She need' t 'a' mode no calculations to
teach no winter term here not to Fence
Corners," Kinney responded, with some
contempt. "If thore h'uin t be'n a winter
fer five years but what there's be'n a rum
pus, and gener ly school shut up, w'y, she
needn't 'a' looked fer there ffofu' to be."
It was unanswerable, but the store-keepei
entered a weak suggestion over his niotlej
counter.
"I should think that gang ought to br
broke up," he said. I
He expected no rejoinder, and got none. '
The School Board's attention centered upon
no such whimsical irrelevancy.
"Beckon you're the one to notify her
Thornton," said Saunders, again.
He wriggled unquietly on his stooh
Thornton sat motionless Whether in foot
or by a trick of the Ul-burUug lamp on the
coun,ter,his good-looking face with its heavy,
light moustache, appeared pale. He sat
with his arms crossed on his knees and hi
yes on the floor, silent.
"Jest so," said Kinney, with an air of im
partial decision. "You can git it oft better
'n Saunders or me, Thornton. You're a
better lookin1 man, anyhow, and you're bet
ter rigged up, " he concluded, with politio
amiableness.
They made an attempt at a careless dis
missal of the subject. Kinney got up and
threw his cheese rind in the stove. Thorn
ton passed bis band over his mouth and
swallowed hard.
"You can jest put it easy," said Kinney,
encouragingly. "You can tell her jest how
'tis, and how it's fer her own good, and
ain't to bo put off nor avoided. You can
tell her she done flrst-c7aa, summ r term.
W'y you can tell her j st what you're a
mine to," cried Kinney, magnanimously.
Their colleugue arose. He was a tall and
powerful young fellow, but there was an
odd laxity in his movements now as he went
toward the door. He held his hat-brim to
his lips, too, and turned his face away from
the light. Hanks stared after him till the
door closed.
"I s'spose you've found out that Jim
Thornton's about the bashfulest feller In
town, ain't youl" he queried
There was uo response.
"And you've orob'lv susnicloned. same
uvuoi' luiua, uiui ue altiuu u Sheet itl vS
school-ma'am, er would be it be dost!" pur.
sued the store-keeper.
The School Board was silent.
" Wal," he concluded, with a grin, half of
disgust, half of admiration, "you couldn't
'a' hired me to be'n that mean toayellar
dog not to a yeller dog I"
4
Thornton made his way up the road
throuuh a warm and lightly falling early
snow that whitened and softened and beau
lied it, dark aa it was from the infroquoncj
of buildings and nubbly with the froten
mud. He forgot to put his hat on till he met
a man in a wagon, who stared at him. Hi
face and hair were damp with melted flakes
! He went slowly, almost creepingly, for
... I, hi hft'irt a tleirln .i-l-J .
1 dread of what be must do. It waa aimoai
more than he could master.
I Where wa the! Bissel's; he knew she
boarded at Bissel's and it wa not far; he
; could see its light through the snow laden
trees. The pain at bis heart was all but
physical; be winced, and kept bis hand on
bis nervoua mouth ; there was a mist in his
eyes, and it grew into tears. He wa not
surprised at them, nor ashamed of them ; be
eiped them off mechanically with hi rough,
itrong hand. He did not know whether
hey were from pity of her or of himself;

I "If snowing-, ain't it," said the school

Thorton nodded ; it wa all he could do.

The tioking of a clock on a corner-stand
llled the silence. It was a round, nickel
slock, and it ticked so loudly as to force
tself upon them.
"That's my school-clock," said the teach

The school director dropped his miserable
eyes to the faded stripe in the carpet at his
reet,buthe did not see it; his hat shook
with the trembling of his hands.
"I've be'n thinking how many I'll have,
likely," the school teacher went on. Hi
misery imparted itself to her in a degree of
nervousness, and she let her work drop. "I
had twenty-five this summer; there's al
ways more winters, ain't there?"
He managed to say yes. His eye were
wandering about the room now, hi lip
parted as if tor air. He saw a new pane in

She made a bunch and tied it with hei

slight girl in a cheap and well-worn dress,
her dark hair in a girlish braid, and her
eyes mild. This she was, but who shall tell
what he was t His agony rose, culminated
as she turned to him; he clutched his hat
till it stiff brim cracked. She was coming
toward him with the flowers.
"There, may be she'd like a few," she re
peated, faint-heartediy; but he did not bear
her. He felt his face aflame like fire, and
a choking in his throat. He struggled to
apeak, and did make an inarticulate sound,
at which she looked at him in wonder.
He looked up at her pitifully and then fell
tumblingly on his knee at her feet and
buried his face in her skirt, and groping
for her hands, pulled them down till they
pressed his throbbing head and rested
there, her happy, wondering tear falling
upon them.

OFFENDED THE ADMIRAL.
A Flagship Chnpla.111 Who Uegau Divine
Service llefore the Autocrat's Arrival.
There is a good story and a most
characteristic one which a writer in
Kate Field's Washington heard the
other day of the late Admiral Golds
borough. It is not in any way an
orthodox utterance, but, to be perfectly
truthful, the admiral made no preten
sions to being orthodox in matters,
either sacred or profane, as the incident
will bear witness. It was during a trip
to the Mediterranean when the admiral
was in command of the fleet that the
chaplain, a zealous young man, pre
ferred request to hold services on board
the flagship on Sunday mornings.
Though it was generally understood
that attendance upon divine service was
not included in the admiral's plan of
action he nevertheless gave consent that
every Sunday the men should be piped
up. The first Sunday after this permis
sion had been given, the young chap
lain's trepidation gave place to supreme
satisfaction when he noted that with
the exception of the admiral the officer
and men of the fleet were assembled in
full force. After waiting for a few mo
ments for the admiral, who failed to
appear, the chaplain opened the serv
ices in regulation manner: "The Lord
is in his holy temple; let all the earth
keep silence before him." As the voice
rang out in the opening words the ad
miral walked on deck, and, though his
face betokened a storm, he took his seat
in silence and so remained until the
congregation had been dismissed. Then
he rose, and striding over to the chap
lain, said: "Young man, I want you to
understand in future that the Lord Is
not In this holy temple until I, Admiral
Goldsborough, am on deck."
ROUSED TO LYNCHING PITCH.
A Car Load of Sympathetic PaaMagsir
Angered by a Ileartlea rarest.
The poor little woman was traveling
from Baltimore to Chicago on the B. &
O. with six small children. Three of
them were ill and sho had her hands
and lap more than full. Everyone in
the car tried throughout the day to do
what they could to alleviate her suffer
ings. A kindly old gentleman played
with the not too inviting two-year-old,
and a jolly commercial traveler kept the
wiggling and inquisitive oldest boy as
quiet as possible with stories of his own
boys at home. Dainty ladles opened well
stocked traveling bags to the many ne
cessities of the little brood, and, Kate
Field's Washington says, the traveling
public seemed disposed to show its ut
most kindliness to the overburdened
woman. The only person who showed
no interest was an Insignificant, snub
nosed little man who sat In the back of
the car and read newspapers. At last
bedtime came and the porter made up
a couple of sections In which the tired
mother might bestow her offspring.
When they were safely settled the pas
sengers were rendered almost speech

and crawled into the berth where the
woman was hushing a wailing child.
When it dawned upon them that he was
the husband and father of their pro
teges it took all the persuasion of the
cooler headed to prevent an immediate
mobbing.
