Queer Dogs in the Olympics.

One OF party recently returned from
tour in the Olympic Mountains gives
the Whatcom Reveille the following
account of some strange animals dis
covered there: cone night we camped
near Sentinel Rock, about mile from
the divide. This rock stands boldly out
alone, like a massive fortress, guarding
the entrance to the valley of the Dun
geness.
Suddenly the mountain sides seemed
to be alive with men whistling to one
another, and one would turn
sharply around only to hear another and
shriller whew on the other side; and
soon we saw lots of animals, about the
size OF a fox, with long, bushy tails, run
ming about from rock to rock, sometimes
lying down, but more often sitting bolt
up, erect, like ferret does. We shot a
couple Of small ones that night and
afterward shot several more larger
ones. Campbell called them whistling
dogs, and declared they were good to
eat; but the smell was enough for us.
Their odor is peculiar, but not fra
grant. They have two long teeth in
front like a beaver and feet almost
shaped like squirrels feet.
l believe their right name is mountain
beaver. Whenever we went aftervard
to the mountains as long as there was
grass we saw these whistling dogs. as
we got to call them. | like to see them:
they seem to make the place cheerful
and lively, and were very amusing to
watch. n winter they have long bur
rows under the snow, and their coats
gel a dark gray. in summer they are
yellow. Their skins should make GOOD
lur, and, l think, would pay for being
trapped i'll winter months.

Booth and the Rheumatism.
From the New York World,

AS Edwin Booth limped out of the
Players Club morning or two ago and
acknowledged to friend that his rheu-
matism was particularly pungent of late,
it occurred to that friend that there is
great big wide opening on the Ameri-
can boards for young tragedian of the
first order. Mr.. Barrett's recent phys
zeal ailments, which it was at one time
feared would disable him, came to mind,
and also Tom keene's attack of paraIv-
Sis a few years ago, from which, how
ever, Keene has recovered more COM
pletely than have either Booth or Bar
rett from the thorns that afflicted and
affiict them. Keene's recovery from
his paralytic stroke is even declared to
be marvel to medical men, inasmucn
as he is dec AIRED TO show more life and
fire than ever in his acting.

Credit System Drawbacks.

An exchange speaks of the compsrI
point, of the cash and credit system
dealing. 1t says: "Merchants kind
that the average man will buy mol
goods if he has an account than if \
pays cash. There is something aboj
the bare fact of paying out hard-earnj
dollars that makes one pause and col
slider whether the purchase is a neCd
sary one." There is another point, tO|
worth considering from the buyer
standpoint-a purchaser will notscruiI
ize the price SO closely when buying
credit as when paying cash, and so oda
pays mnch more Tor an article.

Genoa.

Genoa is forever identified with CO.
lumbus and the discovery of America.
Yet Consul General Bourn, at Rome,
states the curious fact that absolutely
not an emigrant leaves there for the
United States. Genoese never come to
this country except as common sea
men. Equally curious is the fact that
there are but seven families registered
in Genoa as Americans, five of which
are naturalized and permanent resi-
dents. Hundreds of the citizens are
miliionaires.
