Atavism In Dogs.
Dogs, probably the earliest of do.
-mesticated animals, when transferred
to a tropical country, such as central
Africa, lose In a few generations most
of the characteristics they have a*
quired in Europe, and revert more and
more to the type of the jackal and the
wolf. Then their ears, whatever theiz
breed, ten4 to become pointed, theil
coats turn sardy or rufous and ther
bark becomes a howl. Some attempt
has been made to show that this is the
result of disease and resembles the
effect of malaria on the human consti
tution. -Yet the E'gyptian dog of Phai'
aonic times possessed, as is seen by
the monuments, these very character.
Istics; and as ho was certainly domes
ticated before the ,European anant.
it is probable that these are original
features of the race..
Vikinge' Made Beeswax.
About eight years ago at Oseberg,
near Tonsberg, Norway, there was un
earthed a ship of' the early Viking
geriod. It was completely buried in
the earth, and when disinterred ,was
found to belong to the grave of a Vi
king queen, who died about A. D. 800.
Horses, carriages, and sledges were
also discovered in the grave, together
with all kinds of household furniture
and utensils and persnaal ornaments,
the whole forming a picture of the
state of northern civilization centu
ries ago. Amnong the other articlee
found were two dark rectangular
masses, which proved to be wax that
had apparently been used for the wax
ing of sewing thread. This wax has
recently been chemically examined by
Dr. J. Sebellen, who found that its
specific gravity and its melting-point
agreed with that of the beeswax of
the present day.
Effective Punishments.
One of the first judges-real judge:
-of Deadwood pwt in operation many'
odd ideas of corrective punishment.
If a man was brought before him
charged with shooting up .a peaceful
place without provocation' tihs judge
used to delight in tolling off halt a
dozen good shots, whose business it
was to fire all around the accused,
who was made to stand up against
a wall. The closer the shots and the
more seared the accused the better
the judge liked it. If the accused
demurred agains~t this little tit-for-tat
punishment he was formally ordered
to stand up and 'the maximum sen
tence under the code was meted out
to him. In the case of a prieoner who
might not be impressed with the tax'
get practice sentence there were oth
er penalties, such as a five mile gallop
on a frisky horse, with the legs of the
aecused tied under the horse's belly
- and a saddle made of fair sized stones
wrapped in a blanket for his seat. Pro
test against this meant again the ex
treme code punishment.

It was quite by accident that the
discovery was made that ammonia
would extinguish burning oil. A bot

loss by fire. The gasoline stove
sprung a leak and the fiuid caught fire,

children coming Into the room could
not reach the sink and get water to

ought to be done, but had enough
presence of mind zc pour over It the
contents of an ammonia bottle that
stood near. As it happened, it was
the very best thing he could have
done, as it quickly extinguished the
fire whicha water could not do. Now
t-he family keeps ammonia on hand in
a two-quart sealed jar, anticipating the
time when it may be needed again

MRS. LUDLOW"S NEW HATi
By LOUISE OLIVEi4 *
*e
*@S@0@ese@eeSOOS@0Seeeee
Mrs. Ludlow was cutting out news
paper patterns to At the sitting-room
chairs. Later
these would be re
produced in flow
ered chintz.
She left Mr.
Ludlow's chair
until the last. Not
that It needed to
.be screened from
the eyes of the
world any less
than its neigh
bors, for indeed It
was mostly on its
account that the
- - sitting-room was
being treated to a
new dress. But Mrs. Ludlow still was
nursing a grievance against her
spouse that had been born at the
breakfast table.
She had asked for $10 to buy a new
hat, and It had not been forthcoming.
The hat which had warmed the
cockles of Mrs. Ludlow's heart was
blooming upon a nickel stem in the
window of Sam Sellers' store, Smiley
ville'c Only Department Store.
This emporium, brand new and im
posing, and selling everything from
bacon to bonnets, was directly across
Main street from the general store of
Mr. Ludlow.
It was a matter of history that the
latter store had evoluted from a mere
grocery that had been owned and man
aged by Old Man Pershing. In those
days the two young clerks, Jim Lud
low and Sam Sellers, had both aspired
to the hand of Old Man Pershing's
niece, the fair Effl, who kept imlley
ville, as well as the young men In
question, guessing as to her choice.
It had ended one Sunday in Jim Lud
low taking affairs into his own hands
and eloping with the girl to Parsons
Corners.
The next morning Sam tried to'lick
Jim in the middle of Main street, but,
getting the worst of it, had packed
up and departed the same day for
parts unknown, vowing eternal ven
geance.
The years passed, and Old Man
Pershing died, leaving the store and
a few debts as a legacy to his niece
and nephew-in-law.
Things were prospering, when Sam
.came back from the "unknown parts,"
which had evidently been. lucrative,
for he fairly oozed money.
Omileyvile held it bes
the outcome of iauts vow of Tb
geance. It had not long to wait. In
side of three months the Only Depart
ment Store was complete.
Then bad days began for Jim Lud
law. The public deserted him, not
from any personal allegimce to Sam,
but it was a novelty to have things
sent home In an auto truck.
But there was no use worrying his
wife-. So Mrs. Ludlow remained in
ignorance of the true state of afairs
and cred for a new hat.
Finally she was ready for the
rocker, the disreputable piece of fur
niture In which Mr. Ludlow was wont
to read the evening paper. She gath
ered up her pins and paper and
crossed the room to where it stood. A
fallen brcoom stood In her path which
she did not see, her toe caught; she
pitched forward, and strucek her head
on the edge of the chair in fallng.
Fifteen minutes later she stirred and
opened her eyes. Where could she
be? And what on earth could be the
conglomerate mass of bent, rusty
springs above he' head?
She etuck an investigating finger
Into the torn facli'g. $he had no Idea
It was in such bad shape. It was like
putting powder on a dirty face to
cover up decay like this with .a new
cover. She poked here end there Into
Its depths.
Then something dropped with a soft
thud to the floor. Mrs. Ludlow picked
it up. Suddenly she scrambled to her
feet and carried It to the window. A
queer look came into her face as she
examined it
"Jim Ludlow's meaner '~n I thought,"
ahe muttered. "I juist wish he was
here."
As if in answer to her words, the
front door opened, and Mr. Ludlow,
carrying an Immense flowered box,
stepped inside.
"What's wrong? And what have
you got in that box?" In her astonish
ment she forgot to be angry.
"It's your hat, Eflel" He sank
heavily into a chair. "It's about all
you'll get, so you may as well have It.
I got it on my way home. Sam's fore
.losed. Or 'that is-he's going to to
*JIm Ludlow, just what do you
mean?"
"I mean I've been struggling to keep
up for some time, an' i've had to

mortgage till rm cleaned out. Sam's
bought 'em all up. He's done what be
said, and ruined me. Fm cleaned

But Mrs. Ludlow was not thnkingr
of hats.
"Jim," she said mysteriously. "Did
you ever hide any money In your old
chair?"
"Heavens, nol"
"Well, then. Uncle Peashing 'dvd. (Op

That afternoon, when Mr. Sellers
called with his lawyer to take over
all the worldly property of the Lud
lows, he was disagreeably surprised
to be handed a check large enough to
cover the detbt.

John Rand blamed only Mmself. He
had known before he asked Pearl to
face ranch life with him that only one
woman in a hundred strikes happiness
under such eonditions.
"Pack your trunk, kid," he said kind

tion. I'll try to follow, girl"
"You'll follow!" Up came the yel
low head. The blue eyes lighted with
hope. "Oh, John2" she cried, "do you
mean it?"
He nodded-first half-heartedly, them
more vigorously and convincingly.
"See!" she cried, clutching the door
jamb, "can you blame me? What girl
brought up to dances and music and
theaters could drop to this without
going half mad?"
He went to her quietly. Soothingly,
he patted her arm, gradualy drawing
her away as he did it.
"I know," he said gently. "And1
come! Now you're going to pack.'
You'll go back to your mother-until
we see what can be done."
"Back to life!" she caught him up.
The following morning he drove her
to the station.
"Good-by!" he sang out as the train.
pulled away.
He stood a long time looking after
it. Then, whistling a tune that had
strange hitches in it, he sprang into
his wagon and turned Demon's head
homeward.
When he reached the ranch he .ung
the reins over the mare's back and!
strode into the house. No doubt one
of the boys would attend to the horse.
He went straight to the little room at
the back of the house which had been
Pearl's.
"God!" he whispered, "bring ler
back! Bring her back!"
For, all at once, he knew that unless
he had hopes of her coming back he
could not go on. He had thought he
could grit his teeth and work. Now
he knew that he couldn't.
The only way he could get himself
to go out with the boys and work was:
to tell himself that her first letter
would bring news of her coming back.
And so he lived, in hope, until the
letter came. -One of his boys deliv

sat smoking on the back step, watch
Ing the red ball of the sun drop behind

With eager hands, he took it. His,
fingers trembled as he tore It open. He
bent, shoulders contracted. His eyes
were like fires.
"Darling Johnnie," he read, "I can
hardly wait till you sell the old place
and come East."
He dropped the letter. He covered
his eyes withhis shirt sleeves. His
shoulders heaved. He was sobbing as
1 he had sobbed when a little boy.
But gradually he got back the cour
