Chow Chow Dog That
Came From Chins.
Photo by American rress Association.
About ten or twelve years aso there
was imported into this country from
China a dog that has become very
popular and may be seen at all the
big shores. The srecies are called chow
chows, but of late this name has been
abbreviated into just plain chow. The
chows originally came from Siberia,
where they were used to draw sledges.
In China these dogs were improved
and developed into very companion
able house dogs. The chow has so
thick and even a coat of long hair that
when it is pressed down it rises again
Just as a sheep's wool will do. It has
one characteristic that makes it dif
ferent from all other breeds of dogs
a black tongue. Many dogs have black
roofs to their months, but no chow is
of the pure breed that has not a black
tongue. There are two varieties com
monly seen in this country, one all
red and the other all black. The reds
are the most often seen. The chow is
a good tempered little animal, with a
rather comical expression. For those
who are fond of dogs, and most young
people are. the chow is an affection
ate and jolly companion. The chow
pictured here won a prize at the last
dog show in New York. lie is of the
red variety and is of the purest blood.
As the picture shows, the chow Is of
compact and sturdy frame. lie is of
lively disposition and carries his tail
tightly curled over the back.
The Traveling Ring.
-The conjurer asks members of his
audience to bind his hands behind him
after he has seated himself in a chair
among them. With his hands bound
securely, making it possible for him
to move but a few inches, he asks that
somebody take a ring from his or her
finger and place it in his teeth. Then
he asks that they place a screen before
him In order that the ring may not be
embarrassed in their presence.
This accomplished, he asks them
which of his fingers he shall make the
ring leap upon. Of course everybody
rames a certain finger, and a moment
later he asks that he may be released,
when the ring is discovered resting
upon that finger. Ilere is the way the
trick is done. Immediately after yon
nave been placed behind the screen
lean slightly forward and permit the
ling to drop into your lap. Then slow
ly let it slip between your legs to the
chair. This must be done carefully or
It, will be heard as it drops. Then
raise yourself, push it back with your
body until it is within reach of your
fingers. After that It will be easy to
slip it on the proper finger.
Birds of a Feather.
"One day two little boys came very
late for school. The teacher said to
them. 'Come to my desk, boys.' And
the boys came to the teacher's desk,
looking at him as if they were goingto
cry. These boys names -were John
and Benjamin. They were very good
boys.
"And when they came to the teach
er's desk the teacher said to John,
Why are you so late?" and John said
to the teacher. 'I overslept myself,
teacher, and I dreamed I took a jour
ney to New York, and just as I got to
the station I awoke.' And the teacher
said to Benjamin. 'Why are you so
late? and Benjamin said, I dreamed
that I was standing by the station
waiting for John.' "
Riddles.
Why should doctors be less liable
than others to bo upset on the ocean?
Because they are more used to see
sickness.
Why Is gout like reciprocated love?
Because It's a joint affection.
Why should soldiers be rather tired
on the 1st of April? Because they
have just had a march of thirty-one
days.
Rights and Lefts.
Said the KIght Hand to the Left Hand:
"You're lazy, sister dear.
I do three-fourths of all our work.
Though you are always near."
Said the Left Hand to the Right Hand,
'Tis saddest truth you sing,
Tet when our lady's married
Tis I will set the ring."
Said the Right Foot to the Left Foot:
. "I find you very slow.
Tis always I who makes a start
. Whene'er abroad we go."
Said the Left Foot to the Right Foot,
"Of critics I'm the worst.
Still when we get in trouble
Don't you also get there lirstr.
