curious people who live amid these
scenes, are about as strange TO the aver
age resident hereabouts as would be the
sand hills Of the Sahara desert. Per-
haps nobody but the author-actor. who
spent considerable time in the lumber
region, would have thought OF the nos
slbilities OF play laid there. And vet
why not comedy and tragedy In a fum-
ber as well as mining camp? At any

SHORT DAYS.
A Remote Past When the Suns Course Was
Run in Five Six Hours.

A Remote Past When the Suns Course Was
Run in Five or Six Hours.
AS the evidence of the earth's crust
proves that our globe has lasted for in
calculable ages, it becomes of interest
to think how far the gradual elonga-
ton of the day may have attained sig
nificant proportions since very early
times. 1t may be that even in thou
sand years the effect of the tides is not
sufficient to alter the length of the day
by so much as single second. But the
effect may be very appreciable or
even large in a million years, or
ten million years, or hundred
million years. We have the best rea-
sons for knowing that in intervals of
time comparable with those have men
toned the change in the length of the
day may have amounted not merely to
seconds or minutes, but even to hours.
Looking into the remote past, there
was time at which this globe spun
around in twenty-three hours instead
of twenty-four; at still earlier period
the rate must have been twenty hours,
and the further we look back the more
and more rapidly does the earth appear
to be spinning. At last, as we strain
our gaze to some epoch so excessively
remote that it appears to have been an
terror to those changes which geology
recognizes, we see that our globe was
spinning round in period of six hours
or five hours, or possibly even less.
Here then is lesson which the tides
have taught us; they have shown that
if the causes at present in operation
have subsisted without interruption for
sufficiently long period in the past,
the day must have gradually grown to
its present length from an initial condi-
ton in which the earth seems to have
spun around four times as quickly as it
does at present,-Good Words.

QUEEN vIcToRIA's DOGS.
An Aristocratic Trio in Very Comfortable
Quarters.

An Aristocratic Trio in Very Comfortable
Quarters.
Dogs were first admitted to the court
of England in the reign of Henry VIII.
Under the present reign three dogs
have been elevated to the highest
canine dignities on account of their
aristocratic families and their own Pc
culiar merits. The names of the aris-
tocratic trio are Marco, Roy and Spot.
Marco is the queens favorite, and he
used to be very jealous of John Brown.
His ancestry can be traced back to the
crusaders. He is what they call in
England Pomeranian, and at one of
the recent dog shows he won the first
prize, the mug OF honor The other
favorite, Roy, is a collie, and Spot is a
fox terrier with record of twenty
two rats in quarter of an hour.
These canine lords have their resi-
dences with their special names Her
majesty's dog place is divided into
three parts, the queens veranda, col
lie court and umbrella court. The
veranda is the principal one. 1t is a
covered gallery around the kennel, and
the queen likes to walk there.
Each kennel has dining-room and O
bedroom. The floor of the dining room
is separated from the veranda by an
iron grating. 1t is paved with red and
blue bricks, and the furniture consists
of a trough always full of fresh water.
The bedrooms have two large wins
dows, generally kept open for the pur-
pose of ventilation, and in a snug
corner in each room there is a very low
bed with mattress of fresh straw.
Umbrella court gets its name from
the big umbrella in the middle of it,
under which the dogs can shelter them
selves from the sun and rain. A host
of servants wait upon the canine nobil-
ity, and the queen is very severe with
the officials who do not pay proper at
tention to her dogs A chief is provided
for them, and his instructions are to
vary the menu of the dinners of her
majesty's pets and to consult their
taste. te.-Sportsmen's Review.

His uncle was a rover OF bold, ambitious

And the golden dame he courted amply smiled

For in Africa the genius of his strange adj

But he scarce had viewed his triumph when a

And, the last and lone survivor of his race, his

Was 10 nominate his nephew rs his sole and

So he marshaled all the forces left in his ex-

But the awful seven-fold mystery was too in
