Turning t'p the Trousers, 1 doubt not through the ages ono in' creasing purposo runs, and that is why I have always felt sure that there must be some reason for the ''astrornnry and ascentrio" behavior of people who turn up the bottoms of their trousers in dry wenthor. The New York exquisites who copied the fushion from London will be disgusted at the vulgar origin of the practice, for I understand that it had its rise in the inventive brains of some bauk clerks, who used to go down to tbo city on those bad old "razor back' buses. They found that their ncthor garments got frayed by robbing against tlio woodwork under the seats until one 'day ono of them exclaimed, "Go to, and let us turn up onr trousers. " And they did so. And having turned them up it didn't seem worth while to turn thorn down again, so the custom become crys tallized. If only somebody would now inform ns why we wear silk hate and have pockets in our coat tails which we never use, we might even yet be moder atcly happy. London Figaro. Elected For the Klatk Tim. Mrs. Louise S. Rounds has just been elected president of the Illinois W. C T. U. for the ninth time. During the past year she bas worked in 43 conn ties, given 175 addresses in the state and has visited four other states. Chi Can any of yonr readers explain the meaning of the tan spots seen so com monly over the eyes in black and tan dogs of most breeds? When i Melbourne last year, I went carefully ovrt all the dogs in a show Vjbn iun ui iiiq Bivwania, uiu wc iuuuu ' . 1 . . A. . 1 1 . A J me epois in an me diock ana tan ter riers, foxhounds, deerhounds, collies, lurchers, eta, but I could get no infor mation regarding them from the experts. In some of the highly bred toy dogs. as the small black and tan terriers, I found on inquiry that these spots, for merly so very conspicuous, were being bred out and had nearly disappeared. Their persistence through so many strongly marked varieties, except those late date, Is singular, for there' is fairly good proof that when first domes ticated the dog was red or brown, like the pariah, dingo, etc. As far as I can see, we do not find the spots white on a black or dark ground, nor yet black or dark on a white or light ground. My explanation is that they have arisen as a permanent marking after the dogs "sported" to black under domestication and have been preserved and developed through natural selection. Possibly they are pro tective and simulate eyes. One morning, just at dawn, I had oc casion to go out into the garden, and while stooping to examine some flowers, near a fence partly covered with creep ers, I suddenly saw an animal's head looking through, and what seemed to be two seemingly large and ferocious black eyes glared at me. Suspecting that a black leopard was about to spring over, I started back, clapped my hands and shouted. To my relief, however, I saw a tail wag and found that the spec tator was a cooly's dog I knew very well and which recognized me. The use of the tan spots in this case at least then occurred to me. May it not be that the spots thus serve a protective purpose and have of ten saved the lives of dogs (black dogs) from their enemies, the smaller felines, such as the clonded leopard, etc. ? Per haps the matter is not new, but if it is it seems worth looking into. I have several dogs about here now with black bodies and beads. The tan spots, rather pale, are of the size of a shilling. I have 6hot one, keeping the skin of tho head as a curiosity. S. E. Peal in Nature. . Tl Donkey Tubbed. In general we may say that the don keys belong to a vanishing state of hu man culture, to the time before carriage ways existed. Now that civilization goes on wheels they seem likely to have an ever decreasing value. A century ago they were almost everywhere in common use! At the present timo there ore probably millions of people in the Cnired States to whom the animal is known only by description. In a word. the creature marks a stage in the de velopment of our industries which is passing away as rapidly as that in which the spinning wheel and the hand loom played & part. Professor N. S.
