The New Transcontinentai Route

Within few weeks passenger trains
will be running between Boston on the
Atlantic and Vancouver on the Pacific
coast, by way Of Minnesota, as a result
of the completion OF the Minneapolis,
St. Paul and Sault Ste. Marie railway,
TO connection with the Canadian Pa
cilic railway at rolnt some 80 miles
west of Winnipeg The opening Of this
new route will render the Canadian Pa
cific independent of the Great Northern,
through which II has hitherto obtained
its connection with the lines south Of
lake Superior, aud will make ii q still
more aggressive competitor for Pacific
coast business.

THE PEOPLE ARE READY.

A Demand for American System of
Finance Would Receive Good Ma
jority.
While we do not believe in gold
money, or in silver money, we have ad-
vocated free coinage of silver so long
as we have free coinage of gold, realiz-
ing that the people were not educated
up to the fact that money" is merely
measure of price and not commod-
ity to be exchanged for another com
modify.
These commodity m moneyites are still
heather, not civilized. Yet they can't
get around it that fat makes money.
They don't attempt to deny that the
government fats about SO cents into
the silver dollar, without saying any,
thing of the gold dollar-for they are
now prating about fifty-cent dollars.
Yet we all know the people are mighty
glad to get these fifty-cent dollars at
100 cents and that the people, in turn,
pay them out at 100 cents.
But just how much is fiated by gov
ernment into the gold dollar cannot be
definitely known till it is shut out from
the privilege of free coinage and it is
forced to seek a market the same as
any other commodity, with no special
privileges.
But here's something that really
amuses us. The free silver men now
say that if the gold-bugs persist in
their tight against free silver they will
fight the gold-bugs to the last ditch
and demonetize gold. They thus in
directly admit that we can get along
without gold, or silver either! There
are quite a number of us who will bid
them God-speed in their efforts to de-
monetize gold. Years ago we said give
fool rope enough and he would hang
himself-that is, let the gold-bugs go
on in their triumphant march and they
would land in perdition. Not satisfied
with letting well enough alone they
turned their batteries upon the silver
bugs; now the si1ver-bugs say, ..hands
off, Mr.. Gold-bug, or we will open our
batteries upon YOU"

Merits OF the Esouimau Doc.

Lieut.. Peary was asked the other
day what kind of dogs he would take
north with him. He replied: ..The
Esquimau dogs which we brought back
on our return from our former expedi.
ton. Any other dog than an Esqui-
mau dog will not last three days in the
cold weather there, while the Esquimau
will endure a degree of cold that is
surprising. Some of the dogs / had be-
fore would travel for three or four
days without eating food, and they
slaked their thirst with the snow. A
pound OF pemican day to each was
the usual rations. They do not feel
the cold and will not seek shelter ex.
cept when the wind is blowing. /
have seen them curl up to sleep, ap-
parently perfectly comfortable, on the
snow, with no covering, when the
thermometer was forty degrees below
zero. Any other dog that / know of
could not endure this"

which is of deep interest to scientists
The specimen is a meteorite recently
found in Butte county.
Several years ago, says the San Fran
cisco Chronicle, a large mcteorite was
seen to fall near Oroville, and parties
under the lead of DIR. Hardness, of the
academy of sciences, and others made
extensive researches for the precious
celestial wanderer, but no one found it
until lately. 1t was Immediately pur-
chased by the academy, and DIR. Hark-
ness considers it one of the finest spec
linens of the kind extant.
The irregular mass of meteoric iron
weighs ffty-three pounds, is fourteen
inches in length, six inches thick and
ten inches high, and in shape some
what resembles small ham, What
makes the specimen of more than ordi-
nary interest and value is the remark
ably clear development of the Wild
mannstattian figures by the applica-
tion OF acid. These figures, first dis
covered by Widmannstatt in 1908, are
sections of planes of cleavage or of crys-
talline structure along which segrega-
tion or chemical change of some sort
has taken place and whose form and
| position with reference to each other
| are in accordance with the laws gov
erning the development of crystalline
substances belonging to the isometric
system.
But few meteorites have been found
in this state, the San Bernardino me-
teorite found in 1850 being the largest
and weighing one hundred and twenty
pounds 1t is the property of the state
mining bureau and is now on exhibi-
ton at the worlds fair. The El Do
RADIO meteorite, found in $780, weighed
eighty-five pounds and was the first
discovered in the state. The origin of
these fragments, which contain mete-
oric iron, nickel, cobalt, silica, sulphur
and other substances found on the
earth, is disputed, but the generally
accepted theory is that they are pieces
| of material thrown off by planets.

DOG SHEARING.
IL Is One OF the Institutions of the FastIdl
Gus Parisian World.

IL Is One OF the Institutions of the FastidI-
Gus Partisan World.
One of the recognized professions of
Paris is that of the dog-shearer. There
are, in this interesting occupation. two
grades or ranks. The visitor in Paris
will often hear, as he goes through the
streets, the cry of '"Tond les chiens!'' or
as we should put it, Dogs to shear!"
1t comes from wandering shearers and
surgeons of dogs and performers of
various small offices for domestic ami
mails. But these are the lower stratum
OF the dog-shearing profession. Often
they unite dog-stealing with their
shearing. No person of discrimination
patronizes them, but goes with his dog
to one of the recognized dog-trimming
and bathing establishments, which are
located on scows moored in the Seine
at one or another of the great bridges.
Here one may have his dog bathed with
consideration for its delicate health,
and sheared in one of the several favor
ite styles" each of which has its
name.
The commonest fashion of shearing
dogs is en- lion, or in the lion style.
This is almost a uniform style of dress
in the summer for poodles, which
abound in Paris. The shaggy coat is
trimmed SO that the front part of the
animal remains clothed, and the back
part is shaved. The dogs who belong
to the "better classes are brought in
to be shaved quite frequently, for the
lion style is not regarded as looking
well on poodles unless the skin shows
pink through the closely-cropped coat
AS every shearing costs from seventy
five cents to dollar and a quarter, ac
cording to the difficulty of the opera
ton, dogs belonging to poor or econom-
lcal people often have to content them
selves with cut en- culotte, in which
the body is only partially sheared and
the legs are left with their natural COW
er1ng. This method does not involve
such frequent renewal.
Another style, much affected by per-
sons of fantastic and humorous tastes,
is known as the macaron style. 1t con-
sists in leaving spots and patches of
hair here and there-rings about the
legs and tail, and so forth. 1t is an in
dignity to a respectable dog to shear
him in this way. 1t often makes him
unhappy, for there is no doubt that
most intelligent dogs are sensitive to
ridicule.
Another fashion, which is probably
IN still worse taste than the macaron,
is known as the initial style" 1t con-
sists in leaving the hair, or of removing
1t in such way that the initials of the
owner appear on the dogs sides or back.
This method expresses the vanity of
the owner and nothing more, for it
gives no pleasure and adds no beauty
to the dog.
1t takes two persons to shear a dog
the shearer and a man to hold the dog.
Occasionally dog fights his shearers
viciously, but SO great is the skill and
patience of these operators that they
are seldom bitten.-Youth's Companion.

IDLE FIELDS IN THE SOUTH.
Plenty OF Suitable Land Ready for Guilt
vation In South Carolina.


vation In South Carolina.
The principal cause of the abandon
ment of so much rice land in South
Carolina is the lack of capital, due to
heavy losses sustained by the planters
during the late war. They were left
without working capital and the
means to employ labor, and freshets
had broken the dikes and filed up the
canals and bitches so that it would
have required a considerable outlay of
money to have put the rice planta-
tions in their former condition. There
is no lack of the best rice lands in the
state, with good water facilities,
which can, according to the Boston
Herald, be purchased for merely
nominal sum. Another reason why so
much of the rice land has been aban-
doned is the scarcity and inefficiency
of the negro labor, the good labor hav-
ing been drawn away by other indus
tries which afford better pay. There
is every opportunity for the intro
duction of improved machinery, which
would do away with much of the in
efficient labor in the building up and
repairing of diles, canals, ETC., and
machinery could also be used in the
preparation of the land and the culti-
walton and harvesting of the crop. 1t
is not unusual to find plantations of
ten thousand acres, with perhaps half
of this amount of land available for
rice culture, in narrow strip along
the river front from half mile to
mile in width, and it is quite possible
for anyone starting in with sufficient
capital to secure the finest rice lands
at very low price, and by the intro
| duction of improved methods, and es-
pecially by the introduction of i'm
proved machinery, to be largely inde-
pendent of the scarcity and inefflciency
| of the labor. The cultivation of rice
is very expensive undertaking, and
as rule it can be carried on much
more economically on a large scale
than on small one, and probably for
the production of no other purely ag-
ricultural crop are capital and strict
business meth DDS SO necessary as for
the production of rice by the method
of water culture, of which there is an
abundant supply, which comes down
| laden with the most fertile portions
of the soils of the up country. It
would seem that here was fine field
for the employment of dormant north
ern capital, which if rightly applied
would bring in large returns.

The advocates of a government paper
money have sided with the silver-bugs,
as temporary policy move, but if it
does come to fight to the finish and
the gold-bugs can lzal silver, then those
who do not believe that a yard-stick
must be made of gold in order to meas
ure length correctly will gladly lend
their assistance to the silver-bugs and
knock out gold
Those who believe that fat makes
money have heretofore had to fight
both gold and silver commodity money
fellows Now, it is possible that the
gold-bugs will knock out silver, but in
doing so. the people may learn that if
fat can make so cents worth of silver,
or like amount of gold, pass current
for 100 cents, 1t can also make one-half
cents worth of paper do the same

THE NAME LOUIS.
1t Was Originally More English Tn

1t Was Originally More English Than
French.
Louis is name which sounds to most
OF us at the present day peculiarly
French and certainly very un-Enplish.
Yet there were Louis or their eouiva-
Tents among the continental English in
their home by the mouth of the Elbe
long before there were any bearers of
that famous title in the land that is
now called France after its English
conquerors. The first half of the word
is hlod famous" or renowned" and
the second half is our old friend wig.
"war," as in Eadwig (Edwy) and Oswip
(Oswy) Hlodwig is thus equivalent to
famous war;" or perhaps more truly
TO famous warrior" or "war-famed." :"
and its Latinized form, ''Ludovicus.
still keeps pretty close to the memory
OF its original shape. Now these hlod
names, as it happens were great favor
ties with the Franklish royal family,
just as Aethels were in Wessex and Os's
In Northumbria- But the Roman prov
incials found the initial ''h' a terrible
stumbling block to their lisping lips
| las vulgar Englishmen still find the
same in Welsh III and generally Lat
inized it by the easier 'ch." So
the first Hlodwig who went into Gaul
as an important conqueror bears
in low Latin the name of
Chlodio, while his more famous grand
son is known to us all in the disguised
and Frenchifed form of Clovis Clovis
wife was a Burgundian Hlodhild, now
half-disguised for us in the truly Gal
lie garb of Clotilde, though contem-
porary Latin chroniclers knew her
rather as Chlodechilda pronounce the
''ch" hard inrevery case as gutturaD.
In later days Hlodwig, Clovis or Hlud-
Wis got gradually softened into Loudvis
and Louis, though Lluduicus Is the in
termediate Latinized shape in which
the name was officially horne by the
person we know as Louis le Debon-
naire. Since seventeen Louis sat on
the throne of France mot counting
Clovis or the poor little dauphin) and
one of them was also a saint, the name
became naturally the most popular in
France. Thence It spread to Italy, for
the most part as Luigi, though a more
truly local and national form, Lodo-
yico, introduced by the Lombards, held
its ground In Lombardy, where It has
been made familiar to us all by the
famous name of Ludovico Sforza- In
Spain it became Luis. in Portugal,
Luiz, and in Provence. Alloys or Alois,
more renowned under its artificial
feminine form of Aloyse, or HeIoise-
Louise and Louisa belong to the same.

A GOATS IDEA OF A JOKE.
Honors Were Even and the Little Brute
FEafovaN z HuOalv

Honors Were Even and the Little Brute
Enjoyed 1t Hugely.
A mountain goat that once kept In
confinement was about as cunning as
the average street Arab, and had he
lived to maturity and kept on acqair-
ing knowledge the chances are 1 would
have had to move out and give him the
ranch.
He usually followed me on short ex-
cursions into the woods and generally
kept right at my heels, but on one oc-
casion he Jagged behind, and, although
l called him several times, he paid no
heed. I finally walked back to see
what he was interested in, and found
him busy feeding on some moss, so I
left him and continued on my tramp.
But after had got away a short dis
tance the thought occurred to me to
hide and see how he would act; so I
slipped into hollow stump close to the
trail and waited the result Presently
l heard him coming bounding along
the trail, and after he had passed I
stuck out my head to watch him.
When he got about twenty feet
beyond me he stopped and commenced
looking around, and the comical
expression of his face as he scanned
every object that bore any resemblance
to human being caused me to burst
out laughing, when he turned and saw
Inc. Then he commenced to sulk and
would not go any further, so l had to
return home.
The next day he followed me as
usual, but in the midst of some thick
brush and down timber, l got interest
ed in a bird that / was following up
and forgot the goat, and when 1 came
back to look for him he was gone.
Walking back to where last saw him,
l called him, but no 'Billy" came in
sight. Then 1 commenced a diligent
search, and presently 1 caught sight of
something white beneath brush heap.
STOPPING down and looking in l saw
the little brute curled up in heap, and
not move could 1 get out of him.
Reaching in. caught him by the leg
and pulled him out, and gave him
good cutting on both sides of his head.
But he did not mind it a bit and seemed
to enjoy the joke immensely, capering
about in his usual manner all the way
home, as If he would say: "You hid
from me yesterday and 1 hid from you
to-day, and honors are even. Forest
