A Musical Canine Critic.

A wonderful story of French mu.

was dog, and his name was Parade.
Whether he had a different name at
home was never known. AT the be.

in front of the Tuileries palace. He
marched with the musicians, halted
with them, listened knowingly to their
performances and after the parade dis
appeared, to return promptly at pa
rade time next day.
Gradually the musicians became at
tached to this devoted listener. They
named him Parade, and one or another
of them always invited him to dinner.
He accepted the invitations and was n
pleasant guest. 1t was discovered that
after dinner he always attended the
theatre, where he seated himself
calmly in corner of the orchestra
and listened critically to the music.
If new piece was played he noticed
it instantly and paid the strictest at
tention. If the piece had fine, melo
dious passages he showed his JOY to the
best of his dogoish ability, but if the
piece was ordinary and uninteresting
he yawned, stared about the theater
and enthusiastically expressed his disap-

Raising Foxes In Alaska.

For the purpose of perpetuating the
fast vanishing fur supply of Alaska
certain enterprising persons have gone
into the business of breeding blue and
black foxes on uninhabited islands
along that coast. When the seals have
been finally exterminated the world
may still look to that region for some
of the most valuable and beautiful
pelts known.
The Smeda Propagating Company
has recently stocked a number of ISL
ands with foxes, and the investment
is beginning to yield handsome re-
turns. The lands thus employed are
valueless for anything else, being
wholly barren. The breeding of blue
foxes has already been made very sue
cessful on one of the Pribylof Islands
that of st. George Bering Sea.
OF their increase ten thousand have
been killed and skinned for market.
One advantage of this industry is that
it involves no expense for tn, care or
feeding of the animals. All that is re-
quired is to let loose few pairs. Those
of them which are taken must ut all
times be trapped and not shot. Thus
they become exceedingly tame in the
course OF q few generations. In the
same region there are red, white and
Gross foxes. Skins of the last named
variety, which is supposed to be a
cross between the red and the black,
are quoted at from S. to So wholesale.
The white aud red pelts are worth only
about 81 apiece, because, though they
are very beautiful, they are much
more comm IN and easily obtain
able. Black foxes are 80 rare as to bo
hard to procure for breeding purposes.

by rail across the continent. There
s some effort to smugglo such things
rom British Columbia, but on n small
scale, while tho importers of contra
oand liquors endeavor to get their
goods landed at somo of the Puget
Sound ports.
The customs officers of San Fran
cisco have to deal with some of the
most artful smugglers in the world.
The Chinese are race OF smugglers,
and there IS not q people on earth
more fertile in expedients to evade the
revenue laws Their stolid, impassive
demeanor serves them admirably in
their contraband operations, for their
actions seldom afford, as is the case
frequently with white people, nny
ground to suspect that they are trying
to practice fraud. They have taught
the sailor men of the white race the
shrewdest tricks practiced on Uncle
Sans tax gatherers, and are never
caught in one device without being
ready with another equally as hard to
cetect.
Before the influx of Chinese laborers
was stopped it would sometimes occur
that Mongol looking MS il all his

The Chinese garment for cold weather
Is quilted blouse OF tunic, with n

chiefs being light and fine, single
blouse would sometimes contain a
valuable invoice.
A demure Chinese maiden would
sometimes step ashore with the thick

And though we have not reached the height

his attention attracted to the ex-

made an investigation which resulted

To man the Chinese crews on the
steamers plying between this port and
Mexico, South America and the Orient
are smugglers. They hide their con-
traband goods in the oldest places
imaginable and get them ashore past
the eyes of the customs officers in ways
that almost battle detection.
They have brought opium skilfully

Now comes the suggestion that the
dog power of the United States shall
be utilized for draught purposes, as il
is in Belgium. A writer estimates
that there are 1000, 900 dogs in this
country, and then figures out their
aggregate pulling capacity. The idea
may be new as to dogs, but the New
York News recalls that humorist John
Phoenix suggested the utilization of
cat power more than forty years ago.
His plan was to run sewing machines
by cat power. The cat was to be
placed in harness connected with
motive works A mouse was to be
suspended just beyond the cat reach.
The cats jumping for the mouse would
propel the machine.

Says the Boston Cultivator There
is a deficiency of "a, 1000, 600 bushels

this comes with deficiency of lS,.
900, 900 bushels of wheat. Rye bread
is the staple food of large part of the
German people. They prefer it to
wheaton bread when they can get both.
Owing to the tariff war with Russia
importations of rye from that country
are cut off 1t is Russian rye that has
heretofore supplied the deficiencies of
what Germany requires. There is sure
to be large demand for all the rye
American farmers can produce during
the coming twelve months. 1t is n
crop much less exhaustive than is
wheat. 1t can be sown later in the
fall, and if fertilized with mineral
manures it responds to liberal treat
ment quite as freely as does wheat.
