MY BEST FRIEND..
AVE you over sat down to consider who lạ your bost friend, and why? It may take you some time to decido; who, though the reason why will be a great deal more apparent.
The old lag think "a boy's best friend in his mother” is thready, as most sons will tell you, for mathers have a habit of trespasing on this best friendship of all.
I think a humble but most attractive pig-man has this niche in my nineteen- year-old-non's affections. And why not?
Sprechen Sie Dog?
by A. J. DAWSON
VERY student of dogs knows that they have a simple language of their own, and, by means of barks, growls, whines, and infinitely varied uttle throat sounds, contrive, not only to convey facts, one to
but even, on their own plane, to converse another, and exchange ideas.
Now a render of these notes writes to inquire whether foreign dogs speak foreign languages).
He has been observing one or two canine iminigrants: recent arrivals from Central Europe, and, notably in (a) their unmelodious night soliloquies, and (b) in their re sponse, or lack of response, to his own speech, believes he finda reason to think that foreign dogs speak foreign'! languages.
*
Continued study of dogs prevents one from being dog- matic, and I have observed too many evidences of their remarkable capacities (especially their possession of same sense or sensea unknown to us) to offer positive denial of any ordinary claim made for them. But I do not think that they spent foreign languages. I believe the canine language is a kind of Volapük common to the dogs of all данова But I would point out that to expect Dowly arrived canine settler from Germany to understand English

There are plenty of places in Central Europe, for instance, where the aver nge dog is not allowed to set foot in n house; and others where he is turned out at bed time, as so many cats are in mast lands.
I mention this as one tiny example of the diferences of foreignness which would account for the impression formed by the reader mentioned that foreign dogs speak foreign languages

by URSULA
Bho knows me as the world will never know me, and wo share joya and opinions to gether. Sho has never tried to win me over by flattery, and I find her entirely sincere in all her dealinga. From her I can expect and receive truth, which I do not always got from other people.
They are too often influenced by the fact that I might prefer them to take this side or the other; not so my friend. In emergeneles she is my sheet anchor. She sets herself as n bulwark between me and the world,
All this, says the render, is merely referring to the position between mis- treas and maid, It does not state where friendship comes into the affair,
Implicit Trust I
WOULD maintain that from this a great-my best-friendship has been built up. The time has come when I lean upon her, and trust her implicitly, In a fix I turn to her for advice and know that she will give me only that

to be best for me.
I ask her opinion on all manner of matters a dozen times a day, and she is entirely frank with me. We never attempt to veneer our reat selves between each other, but can discuss mat- ters openly and can- didly. Surely this s real friendatup?
It is his bedrock of sincerity which always the be at produces friend. Nothing else la BO vital, If you look round you will see this essential point at the bottom of every friend- ehlp you know. Sin- cerity at thought, Sincerity of purpose.
For in this relation ship hearts count more than appearances or worldly goods.
Once, when I was in
a nursing home, one of the nurses totd me that the staff had anticipated my arrival, because they thought I should have a lot of glamurous friends calling upon me.
When I remarked that glamour was the last thing that one wanted from friendship, she looked at me in n pained manner.
When my friend came to see me, with none of the film star glamour that was expected, the nurse took this as being fresh proof of my insanity. But in friendship it is a cñas of kind hearts being more than coronets.
