THE IRISH DOG WON.
A Savage Fight to the Death 1T
Race Track.

A Savage Fight to the Death 1t the
Race Track.
A lively dog fight took place in. the
slaughter house at the race track yester-
day, between doc" Walters dog, English
Jack, and ]. F. Flannagan's Irish Jack.
Both dogs were brind1es, and they
weighed forty-two pounds each. The fight
occurred in pit sixteen feet square and
two feet high, and was for 500 side and
the gate receipts. The articles of agree
ment provided that Irish Jack must stop
English Jack in thirty minutes, with
thirty seconds intervals after each scratch.
The dogs went at it, and Irish Jack had
English Jack licked in fifteen minutes.
English Jack did not come up for another
scratch and the fight was declared won by
Irish Jack. English Jack was fearfully
chewed up, and. appreciating the fact that
his dog was as good as dead, ssDoc" Waller
put an end to the brute's suffering by kill
ing him.
About 500 people were present and over
500 changed hands in the pit.
Irish Jack is from Minneapolis and this
is his first fight in the West. He has won
fourteen fights and has never been licked.
He is 5 years old.

To Ptttsburger this canal has peculiar

A Contrast,

Boston Transcript
Two men toiled side by side from sun to sun,
And both were poor;
Both sat with children when the day was
done,
About their door.
One saw the beautiful in crimson cloud
And shining moon;
The other, with his head in sadness bowed,
Made night of moon.
One loved each tree and flower and singing
On mount or plain;
No music In the soul of one was stirred
By leaf or rain.
One saw the good in every fellow-man,
And hoped the best;
The other marvelled at his Masters plan,
And doubt confessed.
One, having heaven above and heaven
Was satisfied;
The other, dfscontented, lived IN woe,
And hopeless died.

We are not so foolish as to
claim that there is no other

we do assert, is that very little

The Chinaman colors up his
tea for export, but never col
ors it for his own use. He
thinks too much of his palate,
and of his skin. When one
does get a fine tea from her
grocer in the ordinary way,
what assurance has she Tor
her grocer either) that she
can get it again? Right here
our guarantee and our pack
age prove their value. The
Chinaman has learned, years
ago, that we must have his
tea without his paint, and our
package means that what is
packed pure shall be sold
pure, and with undiminished
native strength.
If this seems reasonable,

A Mummy's False Teeth.
st. Louis Globe-pemocrat.

There was a good deal Of interest felt
among dentists some years ago when one of
the royal mummies taken from the Egyptian
catacombs was found to be fitted out with
an upper set of artificial teeth The plate
was of wood, carved to fit the roof of the
mouth and the teeth were of brass, the
natural shape of the tooth being quite
closely imi ated. 1t shows that some one of
the Pharaohs felt the loss of his incisors
and grinders and had the court tooth doctor
to do the best that could be done for him.
Before this discovery it was commonly sup
posed that artificial teeth were modern
contrivance.
