in a penitent attitude before his master or mis¬ 
tress, as if asking for forgiveness. 
The sense of justice or fair play is often 
exhibited as between dogs. For instance, they 
recognize vested interests, and much as the natu¬ 
ral impulse of greed may be present, a decent 
dog will not deprive his fellow canine of his 
meal or his bed, even though perhaps twice his 
size and strength. Now can human practical 
ethics surpass this? Doubtless not, and only too 
often this standard is not attained in human ex¬ 
perience. Of course there are “black sheep” in 
every flock, but we cannot afford to be too hard 
on even erring dogs. 
As regards the cerebral development of the 
dog, it is of a very high order indeed, and it 
is probably the nearest approach of all the lower 
animals to the human standard, not excepting 
the higher primates, including the chimpanzee. 
But the latter scores heavily against the dog, in 
comparison with the human animal, when it 
comes to anatomy and relative morphology. 
The dog’s anatomy is totally unlike the human 
in various important respects, while the human 
organism and tha’t of the anthropoid apes, so 
far as bodily structure goes, are almost identical 
—the same 200 bones, the same 300 muscles, the 
same dentition (thirty-two teeth, sixteen above 
and sixteen below, set in the same order in their 
jaws), the same plan of the limbs, the same vital 
organs, the same glands, the same hairy cover¬ 
ing, similar features (external and internal), the 
erect or semi-erect position and the same absence 
of a caudal appendage or tail; in short, every 
essential detail is similar so far as anatomy goes. 
It is in brain development that the chimpanzee 
falls so far short in comparison with man, while 
it is in bodily shape that the dog shows such a 
wide difference from the human form. If a 
chimpanzee only had more of the dog’s higher 
attributes such as his human-like intelligence, his 
moral sense, his fidelity, and his emotional nature, 
he might fairly be regarded as the nearest ap¬ 
proach of all animals to man, but not having 
these, there seem no grounds for doubt that psy¬ 
chologically regarded the dog comes nearer the 
human standard. 
Can anything be more distinctly human than 
the various emotions exhibited by the dog, such 
as affection, jealously, anger, gratitude, joy, etc.? 
Of course the dog has not the gift of speech, 
but many dogs can understand what is spoken 
to them, and will promptly carry out instructions 
given them by word of mouth. If this is not 
the next thing to speaking, it is hard to know 
what is. 
How often has one heard the remark re¬ 
garding an intelligent setter or fox terrier, “Well, 
that dog can do anything but speak.” There is 
one thing he can at all events do: he can ex¬ 
press his pleasure very clearly by the familiar 
wag of his tail. This method possibly originated 
by association of ideas. When the wild ances¬ 
tors of the dog used to hunt in packs through 
jungles and long grass, the tips of their tails 
would often be visible above cover, especially 
when those tails (as is often the case) w.ould 
be white-tipped. It is supposed the dogs used 
to signal to their companions by wagging their 
tails when locating their quarry, and thus the 
idea of pleasure became associated with the 
wagging of the tail, and so the idea has per¬ 
sisted in the mind of the dog through the force 
of heredity to this day. 
As regards the senses the dog has some 
(such as that of smell, hearing and sight) which 
far surpass those of man and most other animals. 
He appears to have a special sense also by which 
he finds his way home directly and quickly if 
liberated in a distant and unknown locality. 
As previously stated, a dog has intelligence 
of a high order, and if the hiatus between his 
and man's is still great, the difference is only in 
degree and not in kind. 
The Pointer Club of New England. 
At a meeting of the directors of the Pointer 
Club of New England, held at the Hotel Essex,

A Mange Remedy. 
One of the most efficacious and quickest 
mange remedies that has come to our notice 
is as follows: 
Mutton tallow, 8 pounds; carbolic acid, 6 
ounces; pine tar, 1 pint; sulphur, 1 pound; 
kerosene oil, 1 pint. 
Mix ingredients hot, except sulphur, which 
add when mixture is cool. Apply with small 
stiff brush to affected parts once a day, keeping 
dog in room with clean board floor. 
The remedy was given the writer by F. R. 
Clarke, of Bloomington, Ill., and used suc¬ 
cessfully for several years. It will keep in¬ 
definitely. 
Continental Field Trial Club. 
At a meeting held at Waynesboro, Ga., the 
Continental Field Trial Club decided to hold 
their nineteenth annual meet and field trials at 
Waynesboro, Ga., on Nov. 26, 1913, beginning 
with the members’ stake. At the same meeting 
nine new members were elected, making the list 
at present eighty-one. W. G. Hundley, of Vir¬ 
ginia, and W. B. Hamilton, of Mississippi, have 
been engaged to judge all stakes. A third 
judge, selected from the list of members, will 
be added. John White, Sec’y. 
Bruin Becoming a Nuisance. 
Are bears to become a nuisance in Warren 
county? From all parts of it reports of bears 
are received. 
At Cortelyou recently a big bear was killed 
by a freight train. On Brown Run a lumber 
camp larder was cleaned by bears. On Quaker 
Hill a big black bear strolled up to the school 
house, looked in and shambled off. Near the 
late Hon. C. W. Stone’s country home a bear 
invaded an orchard and ate apples side by side 
with cattle. 
Most of the animals have escaped, but sev¬ 
eral have been killed and bear meat is offered 
at nearly all of the local meat markets.—Warren 
Correspondence, Pittsburgh Dispatch.
