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. Notice of Sale.
