DOG TAUGHT TO STEAL SHEEP
Intelligent Collie Made His Master
Rich Until the Trick Was Dis
covered and Stopped.
fl _
At one time sheep stealing was a
capital offense in Kiiglnml, and many
men were hanged foi it. The records
show ihat the most successful of these
rogues owed their prosperity to the
faithful <logs which they had trained
for the purpose. In cue cic c a notor
ious criminal practiced sheep stealing
on a large scale. Whenever charged
w ith the offense, he was aide to prove
an iillld.
Here is the explanation. When sheep
were for sale he would view them as
ii prospective purchaser, taking his dog
with him. The dog carefully noted
the individual sheep handled hy his
master. Man and dog would then de
part. I.liter In the day, or during the
night, tin* * (log was sent hack to the
flock. In u<> Incredibly short time the
collie sorted out the selected sheep
from ten to twenty nut of a flock
numbering! hundreds -and drove them
away to a spot where he knew his
master would he.
Ancestry of Birds.
Kvotutionists believe that limn arose
from the basic stock that produced
the apes. The ancestry of Idrds can
be retraced 'llll further to none other
than the lowly reptile, l ossll birds,
to which we must look for our evi
dence, use almost as scarce as fossil
men. Extinct reptiles ami mammnts
have been preserved for sis In alum
dance, hill the \it) power of flight,
which raised the bird above Its rep
tilian ancestors, lias done much to
Cheat us of avian remains. Cumbrous,
awkward creatures, without this mag
ic gift, chance caught In sticky pitch
or the treacherous mud of some ln
goon, ore unable to escape Its grip.
Hut the llght-hodled, quick-winged
Idrd Is seldom trapped in such it way.
Chinese Idea of Goldfish.
Tt Is said that there Is a universal
belief among the Chinese that the finer
kinds of goldllsh art> raised from the
eggs of the silk moth. According to
tht' belief of the Chinese the silk moth
lny k lis eggs on a fresh brick or tilt',
anti this Is ptneed In shallow water nnpl
exposed to the sun In several days,
they hatch out mlnkte larvae aud art
fed on pond slime, developing rapidly
into gorgeous (goldfish.
(•rent care Ims to he Used In the
preparation of water, hut the I
process may he aborted by an Inter- j
veiling thunderclap, which sometimes
muses such havoc with the eggs that
they hatch out frogs or sctvrph>ns iu- ,
stead of the much desired goldtlsh.
Assuring Real Holidays.
A very interest I tig and important de
cision of the British courts Is that *
a wife (any take n holiday alone, if
she dt sires, and that Iter husband can
not stop her.
It was horn of a case following tvvea I
ty-onc years of reasonably calm mar
riage. The wife Uei ldt*d on a vaca-l
litui of U week without the company of
huhhy. He forbade It. She made an
unexpected and astonishing appeal to |
the court and she won her case.
And because the husband made any
objection whatsoever she now sues him
for a permanent separation and se- j
cures it just for that like that.
Insects That Sing.
Japanese do uot care for cats and
write Is u singing insect, which Is
kept in a cage that hangs from the
eaves of the house. /
Although the little •creature docs
not perform on all occasions, the sound
of rain will at any time sturt him
chirping So. to amuse strangers in
a Jap home, one of the fatuity will go
on to the roof and pour down a bucket
of water to produce the dripping sound
of rain.
As soon as the singing Insect hears
w lutt he Imagines to be the real thing,
he begins to warble.
