Doesn't Like Am n Girls, It is pretty 1 known in England, if not in America, that the Princess of Wales dislikes Americans. Of course, it is very siliy of her and very unfair to do this with the little experience she has had to judve by. But, be that as it may, the fact remains that Americans tind small, if indeed any, favor with the Princess of W . You see, unfortun- ately, she has had some rather damag- ing specimens to guide her judgment— women who have flirted, and ogled, and coquetted, and carried on as no lady should with the Prince, her hus- band, under her very nose. It was very smart and “fly.” no doubt, of them, and it extremely swell by them at the time, but it was naturally displeasing to the man’s wife. Naturally the Princess of Wales hates these women. She hates them in proportion to the degree the Prince favors them. Now, I don’t sup- pose, of all women from foreign lands who have annoyed the Princess of Wales by these open attentions to her huaband, and the scandalous talk they have created, there is one that she posi- tiveiy deiests more than Miss Chamber- laine. It isn’t that the Prince loves Miss Chamberlaine more than any other women, ranging from his wife down to Mrs. Langiry, but her tame has be- } H | | | | i | | come me notorious in connectior with his'than of any other American Mrs. James Brown Potter bas been making long strides in the same di rection lately.

Cropping Dogs’ Ears. Sir Elwin Landscer, one of the judges at the dpg-show in Lundon, England, endeav@ed to exclude all dogs that had been mutilated by ear-cropping and otherwse. The principal reason for Sir Edwin's protest is that the cropping ot ears is post cruel and huriful to the dog. The cruelty complained of is not in the qperation—that, after all, is a small natter. It consists in depriving the animal ofa defense which nature bas giv it against the entrance of earth and sand into the ears. ‘The en- trance of these into the ears distress the dogs much, causing deafness, abseesses, and cancer. All dogs, more or Jess, re- quire t> be protected from sand and earth by overlapping ears; but especial- ly do tetriers, literally “earth dogs"— the spedes which, of ail others, is most persecuted by cropping. They go into a burrow, their ears get full of sand, and they suller ever afterward. Surely Sir Edwin Landseer is right in saying that judges of dogs ought not to sanc- tion such treatment of the animal. and that the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty te Animals should look to the practice.| The only excuse that can be set up for this system is a delusive one. It is said that fighting dogs fare better with theit ears cropped, and the exigen- cies of fighting dogs have set the fash- ion for all others. It is true that if an ear be gone it can not be torn, but then it is forgotten that even for tighting pur- poses the ear is often a protection. All these fighting dogs have what are called “paints.” One has his way of seizing the leg. another fixes upon the throit, and yet another makes a dash at the large gland behind the ear, which in the dog is as sensitive a8 the most sensitive gland in the human body. Deprive the dog of his ear and the assailant can get a good bite at it and lay his adversary low. Leave the dog his ear and the asszilant’s grasp of the sensitive gland is impeded by the folds of the ear and rendered much more feeble. Thus, evento the fight- ing-dog the long ear is a positive de- fense.—New Orleans Picayune. How to Be Reconciled.
