house against the side of hill, so that
there will be no back wall. Stepping
down into the house you find the COW

Each room has a stone fireplace, and
all the cooking is done with COW dung
mixed with straw. There are no tables
and few chairs, and it is curious thing
that a large part of the heat of the room
comes from the animal heat produced
by the cattle in the stable which adjoins
the kitchen. The houses of the wealthy

Barking of Dogs.

In writing of the native dogs Of Cen
trail America Frederick Boyle brings for
ward theory as to how dogs form the
habit of barking. He was discussing
with an old resident of the country some
traits of the coyote" as the native vol
is called, but which more nearly resem-
bles the dog.
Dogs will never go wild so long as
they can find a master to serve, ana
more especially trained dogs. The coyote
never banks, and only gallops when pur-
sued. In regard to the first OF these
points, says Mr.. Byam, a remark made
by an old Indian struck me.
"Why won't these coyotes bark like
other dogs?" asked him, pointing to one
l was trying to reclaim, land why dc
they only howl and the pups gruntT
His answer was, "He won't learn.
mot learn" said l. What do you
mean!"
mo" he replied, mot learn, for il ne
were of an honest breed he would bark,
to try and initiate his master, or at all
events the other dogs, but all barking
proceeds from dogs initiating their mas
ter's shout. The master shouts to frighten
away cattle from his maize field-the
dog banks directly; the master shouts to
drive in cattle to the corral, and the dog
banks also. In fact, the dog initiates his
master when he banks; he tries to speak,
but cannot"
give this curious observation as the
only attempt l ever heard to account fo1
the barking of our tame dogs. No wild
breeds make any noise except bowling
and snarling, nor under the best cir,
cumstances will they learn to bark until
the third or fourth generation, length
of trial which Mr.. Byam does not ap-
pear to have given the coyote.

Great Fortunes and the Tariff.

treat fortunes ana the aTlIlS
Our esteemed cUntempOry, The
New York World. in its Sunday eli.
ton published list of 122 persons
living i'm the United States who. it
claims. are worth $4,000, 600 and up
ward each. To be more specific.
there are in the list two persons rated
at $125, 000, 600, one at 100000, 900.
one at S75, 200, 900. one at S40. 600 900,
one at S35 ZOO. 600, five at 100000, QUO
each, four at $25. 100000 each, two at
$2O, 900 each, seven at Sl5,00O,000
each. five at $4,000, 600 each, five at
$4,000 each, two at S6,000,0OG
each, and seventy.fve at $5.000.000
each. The entire list aggregates
81. 552. O00.OO0.
The Tribune has been examining
that list with no little interest, and
would call the attention Of our niegh-
Dor to lesson which it teaches. The
wealth of thirty.tive persons first
named foots up one thousand and
eighty-five millions of dollars.
Among the entire thirty.fve there
are only two who made their money
by manufacturing articles protected
by our Tariff laws. One of these is
in the twenty-million and the other
in the fffteen.million list. Out of
the entire 122 names there will be
found not more than twenty who
made their money in that way. and
the aggregate rating of these twenty
is less than S142. 100000. That leaves
in the list 102 men who made their
money in other ways, and their
wealth foots up the enormous sum
of one thousand five hundred and
ten millions of dollars. Will THE
World examine the list carefully and
see if these conclusions are correct ?
If they are. will it tell US what be-
comes of the doctrine so persistently
taught by the enemies of Protection
that most of the great fortunes ofthis
country have been made by men VINO
took advantage of our Tariff laws and
su robbed the people?
In the same issue of the same
paper there is sneer at the misfor-
tunes of two manufacturers who have
been SO unlucky as to fail while be-
lieying in the protective system.
The fact is that the benefits of Pro-
tective Tariff 90 largely to the men
who do the work, and who receives
these benefits in better wages. This
list shows most clearly that the great
bulk of the men who have amassed
such enormous fortunes in the past
have not made their money by the
aid of any tariff laws.-New York

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

Jun yin EFs
WAsHISGToN, ID, Z. Dee. %, 1890.
Senator SpoOner made a calm, delib.
eratlve argument i'm favor Of the
Federal election bill that was in
striking contrest with the impAs-
stoned utterane-s Of the Democratic
Senators against that measure. He
utterly demolished every argument
yet advanced against the hill and
stated his belief that -ucn Il law was
absolutely necessary, if the ballot
box, the fOundat ION of our liberty is
to be kept pure and honest. There
was not Il word of the personal or
p lrty abuse in MIR. SpoOner'a speech
he started out by saying that the hill
covered question upon which there
was room for an honest different Of
opinion. and he showed all the WY
through that he recognized the right
of others to differ with him, and
that's a great deal more than any
Democratic Senator who has spoken
on the bill has done.
1t has not yet been fully deter
mined whether the consideration of
the election bill will go right on
through this week, or whether it will
be laid aside for the purpose of act
ing upon the proposed change of
rules which was endorsed by eau
Gus last week. There seems to be "a
slight misunderstanding among Re-
publican Senators about this change
in the rules some of them believing
the intention of the caucus to have
been the adoption of the change at
once, to apply 10 all legislation for
the rest of the session, while others
say they understand that it was only
10 apply to the election bill and the
apportlonment bill, snd that the fin
ancial bill, approved by the same
caucus, was to be taken up and
passed before the rules were changed.
If these differences cannot be recon-
siled another caucus may be held be.
fore anything definite is done.

ing everything they can to prevent
any action being taken on the fin

There are a number of Republican
Senators that will vote for free
coinage if it gets before the senate,
but more than two-thirds of them
believe that it would be injurious to
the best interests of the county TO
pass a free coinage bill at this time,
