Dog Formally Tried for Stealing Chicken loduy the satirists have plenty to weur themselves out on, but one thltu that does npt annoy them Is (lie trial of dogs for committing the crimp ot stealing chickens. Racine, the grea' French poet and dramutlst, whom w * loosely think of today us u. placid soui living In a plucld uge. sutlrlzed such a trial In his day. He portrayed the cuse of a dog accused of stealing and eating a capon which hud been scheduled to adorn somebody's dinner tublg. Racine paints a ludicrous picture Ip his pluj, "Lea I'laldeurs," which tneuns the attorneys, literally* "pleaders," of the dog before the Cdurt. The lawyers are us windy as ever they should be In such a case, -the Judge as doggedly intent on -Im* partiality. The dog Is condemned to the galleys, although what he would do In the gulleys Is u subject of won der. Perhaps he was sentenced to be u mascot. P.ut the lawyer for the dog hits upon the Idea of bringing before the court the dog's sous and da ugh feVs. a titter of puppies, "poor children that would be rendered orphans.' The Judge Is touched by this scene, for he also has children. The out come of the case Is not related. Proh ably the dog was "simply knocked on the head."?Kansas City Star.

Ecclesiastical admonitions, however, hud the effect of bringing that somewhat queer cus torn to an end. It Is a pretty belief, but Incorrect, that the fourth tlnger of the left hand was chosen for the ring finger because from that a vein ran directly to the heart. The choice was for practical reasons?fn save the ring from tin"? necessary usage. Thnt also Is the cea son' for the ring being worn on the left hand. , . Harvettin? Almond ? ?.- Rut few people realize the trouble taken In the cultlvntloft of almonds.
