a SHORT REVIEW

The Spokane Review, commenting
on the Fairhayen IlERALD's interview
with Governor Laughton, says among
other things:
Speaking for itself, the Review can
truthfully aver that 1t has no personal
hostility TO the acting governor, and has
received neither personal favors nor dis
appointments from him.
The Review was quite pleasant
toward Governor Laughton until the
talk of appointing General Curry to
that judgeship, then it began to
threaten, and after General Curry
was appointed it grew to be violent.
The Review showed plainly its disap-
pointment in that matter, and its
continued abuse Of the acting gov
ernor ever since, has been first face
evidence Of personal hostility. If
that were not enough, its charges
against the acting governor in
its comparative illusions over Com.

able evidence of personal hostility
Such reprehensible and even shame
full personal charges as those made by
the review against Governor Laugh.

plain evidences Of personal hostility
but of rage and bitter yindictiveness
Such abuse as that the Review
heaped upon Governor Laughton is
far from commendable under any cir
cumstances, in war against an off

AN EVER INTERESTING PEOPLE

The hardest thing that has yet oc-
CURED to Parnell is that he has lately
been called Ireland's Boulanger. If
he out-lives such a thing as that his
constitution is impregnable. Parnell
will, however, stand out as one Of the
great men Of his race, race whose
peculiarities and whose trials have
and will keep it prominently before
the world, AMI there is no more inter
esting reading than the history of
that race. The Celtic branch of their
ancestors are supposed to have occu-
pied that country in western Siberia
and eastern Russia north of the Cas-
plan sea, in the valley Of the Ural
river, long before Abraham seeded
from his chief on the Euphrates river
These Celts were a branch of the
Aryans or northern people, while
Abraham and bis tribe were Semites
or southern. This Celtic-Aryan
tribe migrated for many years
perhaps many centuries, till they
finally landed in Egypt, possibly
aiding in the building Of the
prehistoric pyramids. After leaving
that country they spread out over
western Europe. and mixing with the
natives, constituted large portions OF
the people who formed the early or
ganization Of the Roman republic
The tribes that entered the British
isles appear to have retained their an
cient characteristics to large extent
and in Ireland. by inter-marriagei
with the native Hibeniaus, evolved
the Irish race as was developed in tn,
Spanish peninsula, the Celtiberians
At this time a very large majority o
the inhabitants OF the United State
have Celtic blood, which predominant
in the Irish, Scotch-lrish, WEIGH
Swiss, Iberians, and many other tribe
of continental Europe. In following
up the history Of this remarkabl
Irish race it really dOesappear that al
the world is akin.

THE CURIOSITY SHOP.
Looking for the Dogs Ancestors Among
the Wolves and Jackals.

There seems to be decided drift of opin-
ion among naturalsts to the theory that
our numerous varieties of domesticated
dogs are descended not from single spe-
cies, but from several kinds of wild ami
mals-as, for instance, the wolf and the
iackal The Fancers' Journal comment
ing on the foregoing, says;
There are recorded examples of tanned
wolves which in gentleness and intelli-
gence showed truly doglike capacity.
With regard to tanned jackals, Darwin has
pointed out that when caressed they jump
about for joy, wag their tails, lower their
ears, lick their masters hands, crouch
down and even throw themselves on the
ground. When frightened they carry their
tails between their legs.
On the other hand it is undisputed that,
whatever animal we may consider his pro
genitor, the domesticatiOn of the dog be
gan at an epoch exceedingly remote. The
fossil remains of large dog have been
found in tertiary deposits, ard there is no
doubt that the dog existed in domesti-
Gated state during prehistoric times. His
bones are discovered in the shell heaps of
| Denmark aud in the lake dwellings of
Switzerland. The dog meets us in the
| dawn of history, for such varieties as the
| hound, greyhound and watchdog are de
picted on Egyptian monuments 5000 years
| old 1t is well known that in Egypt the
dog was worshipped under the title Of
| Anubis, and dog mummies have been
found There is "A mastif figured on an
| Assyrian sculpture belonging to GAO b. G.
| The fact is often overlooked that dogs were
used by the Greeks and Romans not only
in the chase and for hunting down escaped
prisoners, but for war
| 1t is worth noting that, according to
some naturalists, the Newfoundland and
st. Bernard dogs form a group by them
selves, derived neither from wolves nor
| iackals, but from distinct species of pro-
| genitors 1t is "A disputed question whether
| the Newfoundland dog is indigenous to
| North America or was introduced either
| by the Norwegians in the year 1000 or by
| Cabot in 1897. Bearing on this question is
| the interesting fact that the Norwegians
have dogs closely resembling the New
| foundland breed The Dingo dog of Aus
tralia does certainly seem TO constitute a
| distinct, indigenous species, since it is now
| found in both wild and domesticated
state in that country, and its fossil remains
are associated with those of extinct mann
| mails.

The Douglas, Wyoming, Budget says:
"There are said to be 10000 people in
Seattle waiting for something to turn
up to give them employment. The
same condition is to be noticed in
nearly all Of the large towns of the
Pacific coast" The Budget is pre-
sided over by "Bill Barlow" a humor-
ist, and he writes funnier things than
the above every day, yet that is quite
funny. There is less enforced idleness
in all of Washington than there is in
any one city Of 10000 people east Of the
Rocky mountains.

Review: The woes of the home-soeker
are many, and sometimes they are comcal.
The story which comes of the gentleman
who attempted to stake out a claim on the
Cpur d'Alene reservation during the
month of February is one of the most
humorous yet. He first located what he
imagined to be a beautiful meadow, labor
iously staked it, off, and while resting from
his exertiOns mutely eloquent siwash
strolled along. Never a word spakc he,
but he took a shovel and cleared off three
feet of snow; then with an AK he chopped
into the surface, next poked a ten-foOt
pole into the aperture and drew it out
dripping with water, showing that the
white men had located a quarter section
OF the lake. The chilling disappointment
Of this adventure to the white man may
be imagined. As to the slwash, never a
word snake he

A MOSQUITO

Carl Pretze: 81 just got mosquito in
my throat" murmered the fair Angelina,
as she leaned on her croquet mallet.
Pm so sorry" replied Tom, cough
hard"
And the fair creature cOughed hard
enough to break her back.
IF only had something to drink" she
sighed, as she glanced at nearby soda
water sign.
"All right" he replied innocently, and
tramped off to pump and brought out a
pint Of water which the young lady, who
had not swallowed a mosquito, but had
led to secure saltwater under false
prptenses, was obliged to swallow.
The moral of this is, that too much
modesty is sometimes bad for the health,
and if you see anything you want, don't
be afrAid TO ask for II.

The Origin of May Poles.

The great festival of the milkmaids and
sweeps Of the LIST of May dates its origin
back to the Romans, who were wont to
commemorate the festival of Flora, the
goddess of flowers, for several days in May,
May poles were forbidden to be erected by
parliament in l644, but they were restored
again on the restoration of Charles II, and
in 1861 the May pole in the Strand was
reared with much ceremony and rejoicing.
This pole, which stood near where Catha-
rine street joins the Strand, was Of cedar,
and was raised by twelve seamen, com
manded by the Duke Of York, who was
then lord high admiral of England.

1t is an accredited maxim of English folk
lore that there is certain natural proper
ton between the annual crop of hazel nuts
and that of babies. A good nut year is a
year abundant in births. The reason is
that the hazel is Thunar's tree, and its
nuts are symbols of fruitfulness. In Alt
mark, therefore, they are scattered in mar
riage professions. In the Black Forest the
leader of such procession carried hazel
wand in his hand, and in Westphalia and
other parts Of Germany few nuts were
mingled with the seed corn to make it pro
life Peas were also used for the same
purpose.

PATRONIZE HOME INDUSTRIES

The only sensible way to build up a

ize the enterprises incur midst. There
are many people who imagineitis good
taste to send abroad for everything that
they eat, wear or use in their houses,
and if this line of action were carried
out by our business men generally it
would lead to disastrous results.
Our machine shops would be obliged
to shut down, our sash and door
factories would have to draw their
fires, the buzzing wheels Of the saw
mills and the flying belts of the hun
bred and one other industries would
be stopped forever. Our stores would
close their doors and the banks would
be obliged to seek other fields for bust
ness.
The only way for the people to pros
per is to encourage and assist in build
ing up their infant industries. 1t is
often necessary to pay little more,
but the money is kept at home and
circulated among our people.

Copyrighted, 1891, by N, Y. Associated Press.
LONDON, March ia large proportion
of the correspondence of the American
Legation is devoted to the subject of un-

over 200 American claims to large estates
in Great Britain have been received.
None of the cases have shown even an
element of probability, which is reason
to believe that nearly all the American
claimants are deceived by English sharp
