The variety of hounds used In this
country for hunting is larger than
most 01 us think. The best known are
foxhounds, staghounds, otterhounds
and harriers, but there are also
beagles and hassett hounds, both used
in packs for hare hunting. The last
named are smi'i and short-legged, but
they huv> wCi) .iful iiose^.
Greyhounds are the fastest of all the
canine tribe. Ne.v L come whippets,
which sen.lt m weigh more than twenty
itive pounds. Though used principally
for racing, they are also useful for
running down rabbits.
In Ireland there is, or was till re
cently, at least one pack of weasel
hounds. ■«
"iSobbery" packs are for jackal
hunting in India. These aie hounds ■£
mixed breed, but most of the oid Itam
pur . train. They are versatile animals,
being trained not only to run jackals
but also to pull down black buck.
in lndiu, too, the cheetah is used for
hunting. The cheetah is one of the
great cats like the leopard, but longer
in the leg. It Is caught wild and
trained; those animals bled In captiv
ity are useless for hunting. A cheetah
has extraordinary speed and will run
down any kind of deer.
In the Southern states in America
most of the negroes keep 'possum dogs
—yellow, hound-like animals —which
are trained to hunt opossums or rac
coons by night. They are plucky
creatures and will even take the trull
of a panther. This sort of hunting is
done on foot and by night. The dog's
business is to "tree" the quarry. Vhe
hunters then climb the tree after the
animal, or, if this is impossible, cut
the tree down.
T. G. Nimnio, the well-known Amer
ican sportsman, has gone a step fur
ther than a;.; one else, in that he has
trained a i ack of cats for hunting.
With these he tracks not only 'possum
and raccoons, but also rabbits and
quail.
In hunting the latter he has two
flne cats which are trained like point
ers and at sight or scent of the game
become rigid, waiting for their master
to come up and shout*wlyit they have
found for him.
These two cats, Mr. Nirnrao says,
will also retrle.ve shot birds as clever
ly as any dog.—Lojiduii Answers.
A Study in Legs.
Ninety-nine out of every 100 girls
with red lialr are bowlegged.
Ninety-nine of out every 100 girls
of the brunette ty. e are knock-kneed.
The mi.st .symmetrical less are pos
sessed l.y the women of the
blonde type.
This Is the conclu lon of artists, of
Baltimore after car ial study of the
legs of hundreds of girls.
Xiie young women found to be thus
.hampered to the eyes of the artist by
physical deformities were a large num
ber who were desirous of becoming
models. For several weeks a commit
tee of the Chnrcoal club, in prepara
tion for the opening of the men's eve
ning life class, had been examining
candidates.
And out of dozens who wished to be
come models there was just one who
came up to the requirements as to con
tour of limbs that were expected by the
committee.—Baltimore Dispatch.
White House Built in 1800.
The Whit House at Washington
wns first occ jMcd by President John
Adnuis in 1800, eight years having
been spent in the construction of t lie
edifice, for which the cornerstone was
laid O tober 18. 1702, in the presence
pf George Washington. The choice of
the thirteenth of the month for the
cereiiif ny indicates that the first
President had no regard for the an
cient "thirteenth" superstition. The
first official function held in the White
House was the New Year reception
given by President Adams on January
1, 1801. When Washington was cap
tured by the British in ISI4 the White
House, as well as the unfinished struc
ture of the capltol and other govern
ment buildings, were burned. The
White House was restored In 1818.
The architect was an Irishman, Jatnes
Hoban.

THE ALAMANCE GLEANER
CAVE ARTISTS OF FRANCE
_____
Student of Toulouse Makes Remark
able Discovery While Swimminfl
in an Underground Stream,
A romantic discovery Ims just been
made by a student of Toulouse uni
versity who swam along an under
ground stream for a mile with an elec
tric torch in his liand, and found some
relics believed to be at least 25,000
years old.
In the south at France and in Spain,
and to a less extent elsewhere, draw
ings on bone, and modeling in clay,
and painting on rocks have shown that
20,000 to oU.UOO years ago men who
lived in caves had the knack of repre
senting, by a rude kind of art, the ani
mals they knew.
Tliey scratched on fiat bones the
outlines of reindeer, bison, mammoths
ami other animals, and painted th6m
on the dry walls of aves; and It Is
Interesting and important to know
what other animals were roaming
about Europe then, as It throws a light
on the changes which have taken place
in''tlie climate.
The student of Toulouse university,
Carteret by name, discovered what
mi: 'it be called the studio of an urtlst
of the cave-dwelling period.
On the walls of the cave were rough
drawings of animals, and around were
models made In clay, some In the early
stage of being shaped and others more
fully formed.
A "long the animals represented
wero lions, tigers, wolves and 'bears.
This is the first time lions have been
foand among the animals known to
the cave artists who once lived in
France.
The animals of the prehistoric
sculptor appear all to be wounded,
and, It Is believed the hunters must
have damaged the models before set
ting out on a hunting expedition, be
lieving that in doing so they were ren
dering the real animals vulnerable to
their weapon^.
PORCELAIN MADE FOR KINGS
Chinaware Was So Beautiful That It
Was Never Exported, but Was Re
served for Emperors.
The Arabs mentioned porcelain fac
tories and stores in their writings
about 800 A. D. The Arabian geog
rapher, Moliammed-el-Efrldl, who lived
In Sicily at the court of Itoger 11, pub
lished, about 1154, a geographic worjfr
In which he told of the town of DJan
kow, wher# "Chinese glass" was made.
He added that there was "no finer and
more esteemed profession in DJankow
than that of a potinaker or a pot de
signer." Toward the middle of the
Fourteenth century, Ibn Batuta, the
Arabian traveler, described Chinese
ceramic as the most beautiful 'n the
world. The Chinese manufactured
dishes and porcelain ware for a very
long time. In the history of the great
Chinese empire one reads that only
certain towns and villages went In for
porcelain Industry. The finest china
ware was mude In the province of
Stixij. It was so beautiful and so
ci"-h like, the finest crystal that it
never was exported, but was exclusive
ly -eserved for the use of tlia Chinese
emperors.
Lady Nicotine's Star Part.
Why leave I/udy Nicotine out of the
dramatis pers ~e of the modern
drama, when she plays such an Im
portant role? She figures large in the
action and situations of comedy and
tragedy, of farce and melodrama. She
Is the silent herald of deep thought
to be uttered, of an epigram to be de
livered.
Sjie gives away the villain In the
manner in which she goes up In smoke
from his sneering lips. She helps the
comeiuan put across his "stuff." She
fills In gaps In action and in lines. She
labelii the beautiful woman who hold
a cigarette be."en lier pink fingers
or red lips as a vamp or an adven
turess. The male trlfler would be
nothing without her help, and the
flapper mlgh l - be mistaken for a sen-
Bible girl.
Lady Nicotine Identifies them all. In
some plays she his the star part. Why
not put her name In the cast? —Wash-
ington Post.
Stymied at Lunch.
Golf Is a game that has a special
vocabulary of Its own, and beginners
are at first a little at sea with re
gard to the 'meaning of some of tha
terms. You are "stymied," for ex
am, le, when your opponent's ball lies
directly In the pat.i your own ball
must take In order to drop Into the
hole. The Taller says:
A gentleman was playing on a cer
tain links In Scotland when he turned
Ito Ids ca-ddle and s : "I say, caddie,
j why couldn't that fellow get his ball
i Into the hole?"
"He was stymied, sir," was the re
} piy
j "He was what?"
"He was stymied, sir," repeated the
caddie.
I "Oh, was he?" replied the other;
"I ihousht he looked rather funny at
lunch." —Youth's Companion.

A Lone Honeymoon.
On board ship the 'passengers quickly
strike up acquaintance with one an
other, and there was no exception to
this rule on a ship that was- cruising
round tlit coast of Sweden.
Among the passengers was a young
doctor, who struck up a slight ac
quaintance with a French student, who
seemed in remarkable good spirits.
"You remarked the
doctor as the saniyfit came up to him
with a laugh and u skip.
"Who wouldn't be?" was the reply.
"I'm on my honeymoon."
"On your honeymoon?" said the doc
tor, surprised. "Then where is—"
"Ah!" said the student. "You wonder
where my wife Is? Well, the money
wouldn't run to two, so I hud to come
alone."
Place Fixed.
"Well, where do you want your
name?" somewhat truculently de
manded the house manager, who was
making up a vaudeville bill.
"Last place."
"Subject to change?"
"No, I gottu have last place or I
can't show at all."
"What's the matter with your act?"
"I have no act."
"What In thundel' are you talking
about?"'
"My net consists of kidding all the
other acts on the bill."
Caupe to Be Roiled.
I was Invited out to spend the day
with a lady whom I do not care much
for. I called her up and .old her"that
I was very sorrv, but that I could not
come, as a friend of ours bad Just
come hack from the country and was
to stay at our house for a week.
Imagine my embarrassment when
she told me, very coldly, that this
friend had been staving at her home
for three days and i tit was  n her
account that she asked me.
We have never spoken since.
Appreciation.
"Money can buy all the luxury and
comfort there Is In traveling, but It
can'tT>uy appreciation of things seen,"
once remarked Ollhert Stuart, the fa
mous American artist. "I'or Instance,"
he went 011, "a multimillionaire spent

"'Why, like a h it, of course,' he
answered contemptuously. 'Didn't you

Syracuse, In Sicily, is the-one place
In the world where papyrus still grows
wlhl. Even In Egypt, home of Its
origin, It Is extinct. And the origin of
that papyrus Is a charming episode in
history, writes Henry James Korman.
Illero, kljig of Syracuse, at about
the time Theocritus was at his court
composing the Idyls, built and fitted
out a marvelous ship equipped with
gardens, stalls for horses, and stair
ways and columns of Teormlnlan mar
ble —a ship of -1,200 tons In those days.
Archimedes doubtless helped to build
It —a present to Ptolemy of Kgypt.
As a part of the acknowledgment
of the gift from Alexandria came 'he
papyrus planted along the banks of
the Anapo and there It baa been grow
ing ever since.
The papyrus plants are green
stemmed like reeds or bamboo, the
thickness of a man's wrist, with n
circular spray of flowers at the ton,
unique among plants.—Harper's Mag
azine.
Over the Fence Is Out.
A Scottisli fftrmer was noted for his
strength and skill. A young peer, a
great pugilistic amateur, had come
from T.ondon to fight the athletic Scot. I
The latter was working in an inclos- !
ure a little distance from tiie house
when the amateur arrived. His lord- j
ship tied his horse to a tree and ad
dressed the farmer thus:
"Friend, I have heard a great deal [
about you and I have come a long way
to see which of us is the better
wTcstler."
The Scotchman, without answering,
seized the young man by the middle
of his body, pitched h'm over the !
fence ntid returned to his work. When
tils lordship recovered his breath he |
stood silent.
"Well," said the farmer, "have you j
anything more to say to me?"
"No," was the reply, "hut perhaps j
you'll be so good as to throw me my
horse!" —Edinburgh Scotsman.

LEGEND OF GOLD IN RHINE
Lorelei, Its Guardian, Dragged Down j

According to the story, at the bot- 1

ferred gold In metal to the golden !
skins and golden hair of the Lorelei, I
were dragged down to their fate.

the golden store and the gold of their
lovely cheeks was supposed to be
a powder made of the mass of gold at |
the bo:torn of the stream, beaten by |
pebbles.
