QUEEN WcToRIA's DOGS.
An !Ari,tocractic Trio in Very Comfort
able Quarters.

Dogs We're first admitted to the cour.
OF England in the reign of Henry VIII.
Under the present reign three dogs
have been elevated to the highest ca
nine dignitieS on account Of their
aristocratic families and their own pc
culiar merits. The names of the aris-
tocra+ic trio are Marco, Roy. and Spot.
Marco is the Queens favorite. and be
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 collie. and spot is
fox terrier with :. record OF twenty
two rats in a 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. Ii is q
covered gallery around the kennel.
and the Queen likes to walk there.
Each kennel has dining room and
bedroom. The floor OF the dining

windows. generally kept open TO, the
purpose of ventilation, and in . snug
corner in each room is very low bed
with a mattress of fresh straw.
Umbrella court gets its name from
;he big umbrella in the middle of il ).
under which the dogs car shelter them
selves from the sun and rain. a host
of servants wait upon the canine no
biiity. and the Queen is very severe
with the officials who do not pay prop

provided for them. and his instruc-

\ Ncnouous Bird.

But one species of venomous bird is
known to the student Of ornitilological
oddiles the Rpir N'Doob, or Bird of
Death a teathered paradox OF New
Guinea. 1t is not y large or formi,!-
ablc-looking creature. as one woulI
naturally expect. being scarcely as
large rs Il common pigeon. but longer
and OF a more slender build. 1t Is OF a
gray. glossy color without and special
markings. except the tail. which ends
with 4 bood-red tip. The bird is COM
paratively helpless. being able to tly
but few feet. and can he caught
without difficulty: however, it is UNI
necessary to say that its poisonous
bite causes the native Papuans to let
it severely alone. Persons bitten by
this creature are seized by maddening
pains. which rapidly extend to every
part of the body. Loss of sight. con-
WILSON'S, and lockiaw are the other
symptoms which follow in rapid sue
cession. The natives say that there is
not case on record Of survival of
the bite, there being no antido,e,
death always ensuing within the short
space of two hours. st. Louis RepuJ-

TYPICAL. ANSWERS.
"A south Dakota Onicial Asks the Farmers
What Would Better Their Condition.
Sioux Falls Press: The report of
Commissioner Smith a. to the labor
statistics which he has been able to
collect is valuable indeed 1t shows
that in general the farmers of South
Dakota own the land which they
till. and that there is very little
tenant farming. The report a> to
the value of these lands. furnished by
the farmers themselves. shows that
they are held at from so to so per
acre. and the commissioner says
that the estimates received Indicate
feeling Of great confidence in tine
agricultural resources of the state.
In relation to farm mortgages
he reports that the average
mortgage amounts to only about
onettth the average farm value.
About % per cent. Of the mortgages
reported to the commissioner show
that the money was borrowed for
making Improvements on the farms,
% per cent. was borrowed in order TO
buy more land
a considerable part of the report
shows the answers to question
which had been sent out to actual
farmers in different parts of the
state:
What. in YOUR opinion. would
better the condition of the farmers
and laboring mem" The answers
are nearly all Of them quite
interesting. and among them may be
quoted the following:
Higher protection"
Lower transportation rates.
Lower interest and law pro-
hibiting gambling in produce"
"A close application to business
and deyoting the time they have for
other to business of their own"
For farmers to STAY away from
town more and use less intoAicahts.

"Laboring men have comparatively

"t'lail the demagogueS.'
The subtreasury bill and govern

Bad management, poor farming,
wastefulness and the habit OF rum

'The demand for hired labor
exceeds the supply to such an extent
that laborerS are unreliable"
Never hire a person and set them
to work, nor hire and so to work,
without first having the price fixed
upon. Many lawsuits have arisen
from such neglect. Never sign Il
paper no matter how simple a matter
it may appear to relate to, without
first carefully reading it, and if you
do not thoroughly understand il,
have it explained before you sign it.
