\
What He Has to Learn and the Work
He Has to Do.
What a herd dog has f:r-t to learn
is to know every one of '^00 or 300
^fcfcoep, and to know them both by
sight and smell. This he does thoroughly.
When Watterson was runs^'
ning sheep on the plains he had a
young collie not yet put to the herd,
but kept about the pumping plant.
As the sheep came in by hundreds
to the troughs the dog grew so to
know them that when they had
picked up a stray from another
band he discovered it from afar off
and, darting js a hornet, nipping
and yelping, parted it out from the

would have pretended, without the
aid of the brand, to recognize any
of the thousands that bore it.
IIow long recollection stays by
the dog is not certain, but at lea-t
a twelvemonth, as was proved to
Filon Girard after he had lost a
third of his band when the Santa
Anna came roaring up by Lone
Pine with a cloud of saffron colored
dust on its wings. After the shearing
of next year, passing close to
^ another band, Filon's dogs set them%
* |
selves unbidden to routing out of
? it and rounding'with their own
nearly twenty head, which the herder,
being on honest man, freely admitted
he had picked up on the
mesa following after Filon the [
spring before.

wise collie is not sparing of bites |
and, following after a stubborn i
stray, will often throw it and stand !
guard until help arrives or the
iheep shows a better mind. But
the herder who has a dog trained
at the difficult work of herding i
* - 4r range sheep through the chutes and '
runways into boats and cars for
transportation is the fortunate fellow.
There was Pete's dog, Bourda- !
loue, that at the Stockton landing, (
with no assistance, put 800 wild
,6heep from the highlands on the
"boat in eight minutes by running
along the hacks of the flock until
he had picked out the stubborn or
stupid leaders that caused the sheep
to jam in the runway and by sharp i
bites set them forward, himself
treading the backs of the racing
flock like the premiere equestrienne
of the circus, which all the men of
the shipping cheered to see.?Mary

The Loft Side of the Face.
<rProfile ?" said the photographer.
"Then turn the left 9ide, please."
The young girl looked impressed.
"Did you notice it?" she asked.
"You must have sharp eyes. I
thought it was a fact known only
to myself."
"What fact?" said the photographer.
"Why, the fact that the left side
^ of my face is a little better than the
right side, and especially that the
left profile is more regular."
"Oh," said the photographer, "of
course I noticed that. That, you
know, is the case with even-body.
Evenbody's left profile is better
than the right one. The eye is
opened more fully, the mouth has
? a finer curve, the cheek's contour is
firmer and the hair about the temples
is thicker.
"Notice after this the profile photographs
you come across, and you'll
fin*} that ninp out of ton of them
portray the left side of the face."
"Pique-nique."
The Oxford English Dictionary
determines authoritatively the history
of the word "picnic," so far as
English is concerned. Toward the
close of the eighteenth century the
French used the word pique-nique
(of obscure derivation) for a social
entertainment to which each guest
contributed a share. Early in the
next century the English appeared i
to discover that this form of so- t
cial co-operation was well adapted j
for excursions and open air repasts,
so that about the middle of the J
century the word was dissociated
from 6uppers and private theatricals,
ana so long as an entertainment
was in the open air it was a
picnic, whether its materials were
jointly contributed or not.?London

Only an Appetizer.
Many ydbrs ago dried solan geese,
from the Orkneys, used to be imnorted
into Scotland, savs the au
thor of "My Strange Pets/' and J
served there as an appetizer, a mor-1

\ ^ . a meal.
A worthy, farmer gave a dinner ,
to scrw of-^'neighbors and in the |
course of Jinked one if he would
-x have "another portion" of the roast.

\er. "I ate a bit o' solan goose afore
left hame, and it has made me
very hungry."
/ "I dinna believe in the solan

THE CROCODILE.
No Oth>v Animal Can Lock So Dead
and Be So Much Alive.
There is little in the animal kingdom
that can look so dead and l?e
so much alive as a crocodile. The
number of unsuspecting persons
who have mistaken him for a log
and have failed to discover their
mistake until it was too late to be
of any benefit to them will never be
known.
in ancient times, several years
prior to the British occupation of
Egypt, some of the people of that
country worshiped the crocodile as
a god, there being nothing else like
him. They fed him on dainties and
togged him out with jewelry. In
other parts of Egypt, however, the
natives looked upon him as a devil.
Having no lirearms, they did not
fill him with lead, but they managed
to immolate him successfully with
such weapons as were fashionable
at the time.
The crocodile is not so numerous
in the Nile as ho was in the days
of the Barneses family. In fact, he
rather shuns the river now below

the annoyances inseparable from
tourist traffic. It seems impossible
for a tourist to see a crocodile without
trying to plug him with a revolver,
and to a reptile that is fond
of a quiet life this sort of thing is
simply insufferable. He will not
molest a man unless he can take
him at a disadvantage, and so long
as man does not unthinkingly step
on him the crocodile will go his own
wav and calmly await hi. opportunity.
He feeds on fish, but for a course
dinner he would rather have humanity,
black preferred, which
shows that there is no accounting
for taste even among reptiles. His
methods of capturing large game
are plural as well as singular.
Sometimes he will lie on a river
bank partly covered with sand or
mud until an absentminded native
wanders within reach. Having
grabbed his prey, he will waddle
into the water and there drown the
struggler. He will then drag his
victim ashore and bury him in sand
or mud and wait for days before he
gorges himself.?Pall Mall Gazette.
She Was Excited.
"It's funny the way 6ome women
act when they get excited," said a
conductor on the Broadway line.
He continued: "A well dressed, refined
appearing woman ran out of
a store and jumped on my car just
as I was about to pull the bell for
the motorman to go ahead. She
stood up in the aisle and said: 'Wait
a minute; don't go yet! My husband
will be here soon.' Her husband
wasn't in sight, so I decided
we'd have to go. When I reached
for the bell cord she grew excited.
'I told you to wait,' she said. 'My
husband will be here in just a minute.'
'We cannot wait for him,
madam,' I said. 'We're running on
schedule time.' It was then that
ihe did something funny. She grew
more excited and said to me,
Toung man, if you don't hold this
car for my husband I'll smash you
in the face.' Just then her husband
came out of a store on the
run and climbed aboard. 'When he
had dropped into a seat the woman
looked at me and with a sweet smile
said, 'Now you may go ahead, conductor.'
'Thank you,' I said."?

SK? Misted Him.
A poor woman who kept a small
shop in a northern village and who
was troubled with a husband who
could scarcely be considered a credit
to the family one day found herself
a widow through the 6udden
demise of her spouse. A lady who
frequently made small purchases at
the shop called to see her and to
offer her sympathy, though well
knowing that the man's death mu6t
in a certain sense come as a relief,
as the wife had often suffered from
his violence. She was not, however,
quite prepared for the stoical way
in which the wife took her bereavement.
Said the lady:
"I am sure, Mrs. G., you must
miss your husband."
"Well, mum, it do seem queer to
go into the shop and find something
in the till."?London Tit-Bits.
A Dilemma.
Young Bellarine had at the same
time a sore throat and pains in hia
stomach. So he went to the doctor,
who said that he must take
something sweet for his throat, but
he protested, saying that it would
be oad for his stomach. "And,"
said the doctor, refusing to listen,
"for your stomach you must take
something strong."

Jle kept the most precious of the
! crown jewels in his private cabinet
in order that lie might admire and
examine them at his ease, an occupation
in which he took much delight.
Xor did he ever hear of a
j gem of great value either in Asia,
Europe or any other country without
making strenuous ctlorts to se!
cure the prize.
At an entertainment given by j
. Louis to the Princess of Modena it
happened that the conversation
I turned on the fashions and designs
of jewelry, which prompted the
Marquis de Pangean, who prided
himself on his antiquarian knowledge,
to observe that it was in the ,
time of Xero that the imperial
crown was lirst arched, whereupon j
; Louis remarked that lie possessed i
j one himself and that the Marchion- j
ess de Montespau would produce it ;
i for him. ;
When the sparkling circlet was j
| brought forth it excited universal i
admiration, but when the king ob- !
| tained a close look at it he ex|
claimed to the marchioness: "How
j is this, madame? This is no longer
my crown of Agrippina! All the !
stones have been changed!"
The setting was intact, but the
brilliants had been replaced by
paste. When the mystery was
solved it was proved that the maker

one of the waiting women of the

during his visits, having free access j
to where the crown of Agrippina
was kept, had substituted mock diamonds
for the true ones. He was
convicted and hanged, upon which
occasion Louis remarked to the
duchess, "He has at least left us
the setting, but Cromwell would
have seized it whole." ? Sunday
