THE ROANOKE NEWS, THURSDAY, MAY 11, 1893 THE EDITOR'S RUSE. It Brought a Subscriber Long in Arrears to Terms. A subscriber to one of th Southern papers a few years ago, being sadly in arrears for the same, promised the editor thut if his life was spared to a certaia day he would without fail dis chiiree his bill. The day passed, and the bill was not paid. The conclusion, therefore, was that the man was dead absolutely de funct. Proceeding on this con clusion, the editor in his next issue Dlaced the name of his delinquent rjder his obituary head, with the "tdllilnilt f!irrMimr.:tnru if fiina d place. Pretty soon after this yQmoiuicoment the subject of it OKiured to the editor, not with .L6 Kastly appearance usu- ascribed to apparitions, but Sih a face as a red as scarlet: neither did it, like other appari tions, wait to bo first spoken to, but broke silence. "What the , sir, do you meaa by publishing my death?" "Why, sir, the same that I mean by publishing the name of any other person, viz., to let the world know that you are dead." "Well, but I'm not dead." "Not dead? Then it is your own fault, for you told me you would positively pay your bill by such a day, if you lived till that time. The day is past, the bill is not paid, and you positively must be dead, for 1 will not believe you would forfeit yourword; oh, no." 1 "I sto you have got round me, Mr. Editor but say no more about it; hero is the money. And harkee, you wag, just contradict my death next week, will you?" "Oh, certainly, sir just to please you; though, upon my word, 1 can't help thinking you died at the time specified, and that you merely came back to pay this bill on ac count of your friendship to me." . Language of the Dog's Tall. There can be no question that the chief delight of wild dogs, as with modern hounds and sporting dogs, is in the chase and its ac companing excitement and conse quences. One of the most thril ling moments to the human hunter (and doubtless to the ca nine), and one big with that most poignant of all delights, anticipa tion of pleasurable excitement combined with muscular activity, is when the presence of game is first detected. As we have seen in watching the behavior in a pack of fox-hounds, this is invariably the time when tails are wagged for the common good. ine wagging is almost an invari able accompaniment of this form of pleasure, which is one of the chief est among the agreeable emo tions when in the wild state. Ow ing to some inosculation of the nervous mechanism, which at present we cannot unravel, the w- sociation of pleasure and wagging has become so inseparable that the movement of the tail follows the emotion, whatever may call it forth. An explanation of a similar kind can be found from the fact that dogs depress their tails when threatened or scolded. When running away the tail would be the part nearest tne pursuer, ana, therelore. most likely to be seized. It was, therefore, securely tucked away between the hind legs. The act of running away is naturally closely associated with the emotion of fear, and, therefore, this ges ture of putting the tail between the leers becomes an invariable commitant of retreat or submis' sion in the presence of superior force.

In Japan everybody carries a lantern. By day and night it ii dangling at his bolt. It resembles a thin, flat box. Each end of the box is fastened to a sort of paper, which, lying in folds, forms, when drawn out, a lantern. The Japan ese usually carries also a tiny wooden box, shaped like a cylinder, to hold his candlo. A small medi cine chest, with half a dozen little boxes, oach containing a small portion of medicine, a fan, a pipe, and a short sword, all form part of the outfit. The bolt of a Japan ese is, therefore, a very important part of his dress. His slippers consist of a solo with a worstod thread at tho upper end, through which the groat too is thrust to keep it on tho foot. His pillow is a framework of whalebone, or somo such sub stance, into which tho back of the neck near the head fits. This is to keep his knot f Jiair in order, for ho does not havo his hair dressed every day, and therefore is obliged to take care of tho piece, which is greased and bound into a queue, the rest of the head being closely shaven. The rich Japanese send their children to school in inferior gar ments, in order that the children of the poor may not be ashamed to wear their shabby clothes. ADVERTISEMENTS. NEW ADVERTISEENTS.

A bright printer's clerk who was instructed to write a letter of condolence to a firm, the head of which had recently died, did it in this way: "We are greatly pained to learn of the loss sustained by your house, and extend to you our heartiest sympathy. We notice that tho circular you send us announcing Mr. 's doath was lithographed in the North. w e regret mat you ma not see your way clear to let us estimate for the work.

Hoping soon to hear from you, we remain with pro found sympathy, yours truly. Good Horse and Plucky Rider. The greatest feat in riding ever performed by a woman has re cently been accomplished by an English girl, Miss Ihomasson, who rode on untrained horse over 251 miles in sixty-two and one hall hours through the mountains of the Tyrol. On the first dav she went irom Innsbruck over the Brenner Pass to Bozen, seventy von and one-half miles: on the second, from Bozen, bv Meran, Vintschgau and the Maiser Heide to St. Valantin, fifty-six miles: on the third, by Hochfinstermunz and Landeck, back to Innsbruck, this being eighty-eight -.- miles. Rider and horse are in perfect health, though the tour was a novel experience to both. Thoy Refuse to be "Shook." In a recent liorniau newspapor two curious announcements ap pear. In one number is tho fol lowing notice: "I hereby declare, since lite wi'ilteu liotioe of the 8th of August, and notwith standing her refusal to accept tho same, my betrotliou junta Druu lein Emma Zieglcr is null and void, Richard Jork." In tho next num ber of the paper the following ap poared: "1 hereby declare that with respect to tho advertisement of the annulment or mv betrotiiai, written and proclaimed, with Herr Jork 1 do not agree. 1 am, and still intend to remain, his bo' trothed.
