An EDIBLE pOC.
The Black-Tongue d Animal Has Been
Brought From China to Baltimore.


7,-From. the Baltimore Sun.
The Chinese chow" dog which has
been presented to Lyon, Hall & Co, by
Capt Mahany of the bark Foohng suey
from Hong Kong, is one of many kinds
of dogs that are eaten in China. The
word chow is Chinese for food and has
been transplanted into English in the
word "chow-chow." The full name of the
species of dog presented by Capt. Mahany
is Chinese black-tongued chow dog" 1t
is yellow, with comparatively long hair.
and not unlike a collie or an Esqumaux
dog in size and general appearance. Its
head resembles that of a wolf and its
tongue is so black as to make it look as if
the animal had been drinking ink. Dog
meat is one of the regular items in a
Chinaman's bill or fare when he is able
to get it.
Few persons in this country have any
idea of the variety of queer things eaten
in China said Mr.. J. Crawford Lyon yes
terday Dogs cats, rats, angleworms,
insects, fowls and reptiles of every sort -
he continued, ARE to be seen on sale in
meat shops everywhere in that empire.
They are kept alive and killed as soon as
purchasers have selected them; they can
they can be bought cooked. The blood
from the slaughter is kept and made into
soups and other dishes.
1.-THE black tongued chow dog is the dog
most often eaten, but, as far as L saw when
I was in China, there is no species of the
animal which the natives will not eat
There are some kinds that are considered
more dainty than others, just as in this
country in the case of hogs, but the aver
age Chinaman is so poor that he is glad
to get anything to eat.
THE ordinary food of chow dogs is rice
and fish. Meat is not given to them, be-
cause it is believed that it will make them
mad / never heard of any special food
being given them to make their flesh more
palatable when eaten.
Il have tasted dog meat in Canton. It
was served like praised beef and ] found
that it had no special or peculiar taste
and was not at all disagreeabe. 1t is
served in a number of styles"
Mr. John r. TAFT, the artist, in a letter
to the Sun, suggests that the recent DIFF
fculty of the Baltimore custom house APP
praisers in determining the value Of the
chow dog might have been easily settled
had they classified it as edible meat Some
years ago a laurel crown was sent TO
Belgian artists to Vienna to be placed
there on the coffin of the painter Hans
Makart The local customs officers were
in a similar quandary about the entrance
duty. but it was finally arranged by adj
hitting the wreath under the category Of
vegetables. ~.

IRISH NOT A DEAD LANGUAGE.
There Are $50, 900 People Who Speak
Gaelic in Ireland.
From the Philadelphia Press.

From the Philadelphia Press.
The Rev. Eugene O'Gowney of Mary
nooth, Ireland, is now in New York on his
way to California, where he is going to
stay six months on account of his health.
Father O'Gowneys coming to this coun-
try is an event to certain of the Irish liv
ing here. He is one of the leaders of the
new Gaelic movement in Ireland, which
has for it's object the preservation Of the
Irish language. He occupies the chair of
Gaelic in Maynooth college. While he is
in this country he intends to see what
progress the Gaelic societies have made.
I'm know" said he the other day, that
it is a common belief in this country that
Irish is a dead language, or confined to
the use of a few old men and women who
live in the secluded districts. This is err
roneous. There are $4,000 persons in Ire
land who speak no other language, ana
go 900 who speak both English and irish.
In this country / can say that there are
100000 persons who can speak the Ian
guage. But the Irish language is grad
uallv dying out. and it is to stop this that
the Gaelic League was established. It's
objects were to furnish cheap text books.
and to bring about legislation by which
Irish would be put into the schools, on
footing at least equal to French, and that
in districts where the language was com
monty used the children might be taught
it, as they are English, that both Ian
guage should be upon an equal 1ootng.
The first object has been accomplished
LAS to the schools, Irish is taught in
all the national schools on par with
Latin and French, in the intermediate and
coIIaeiafe branches. We have not yet sue
eeeded i'm Introducing it to any extent in
the primary schools, but we hope this will
come in time. The last move OF impor-
lance was the establishment of a chair
of Celtic at Maynooth College the chief
ecclesiastical institution of ireland. It
was established in 1890, by the bishops Of
ireland, and now every student is re
nuired to study the language. This was
a needed provision, as many OF them
when they become priests, Will never
breach in the English tongue.

Tn a Baekwood. court.

In Mississippi there used to be a
county where it was almost impossi-
BILE to hold court on account of the
lawless backwoods element. Judge
Clarke once went there to hold court.
The first day he had a bucket Of water
poured over him from a chimmy-hole
in the roof, and several pistol-shots
were fred in the courtroom. The next
day, as he opened court, he laid two
large pistols.on his desk, and at the
first signal of disturbance leveled the
pistol at the man and conducted him
to Jail. After that there was no more
disturbance. and the better element Of
the community were anxious that he
should return the next term but he
declined with a sentence that has
passed into a political proverb in Mis-
sissippi: 81 regard my coming into
this county as an adventure l regard
my leaving as an escape. "-Argonaut.

How Fast the Earth Turns.

Everybody knows that the earth
makes one complete revolution on its
axis once every "a hours. But few,
however, have any idea OF the high
rate Of speed necessary to accomplish
that feat. The highest velocity ever
attained by a canon ball has been es-
timated at 1926 feet per second, which
is equal to a mile in 3.2 seconds. The
earth, in making one revolution in "a
hours, must turn with a velocity nearly
equal to that OF a cannon ball. In
short, the rate OF speed at the equator
has been estimated at nearly 1900
feet per second, or a mile every $40
seconds, or IL miles a minute.

THE END,

The Elko Free Press Of last Satur-
day has the following: From the
present indications the great strike is
nearing the end and within a few days
trains will be running regular on the
Southern Pacific. About noon last
Thursday the familiar sound Of q loca-
motive whistle broke the stiffness that
has surrounded Elko for Just two
weeks. Nearly everybody in town
rushed out to e the first engine that
had passed through Elko for a good
many days. The locomotive came into
the yard at a slow rate Of speed, NOV
ing as II il was feeling its way. 1t was
the advance line Of a train following,
doing picket duty, as it were. On the
tender sat four sharpshooters Of the
10th U. s. Infantry. Their rifles were
held in readiness for instant use. After
running down to the water tank the
engine backed up onto the sidetrack
to await the coming Of the train fol-
lowing. This soon showed up. II was
pulled by two locomotives and carried
200 regulars Of the 10th and 18th regi-
ments OF U. s. A., from Camp Doug
las and Floyd. Col. Poland com-
manded the detachment. There were
also q number OF railroad men, several
railroad crews, q number of laborers
and g few passengers. A Pullman car
and Mrs. Stanford's private car were
attached TO the train. The first car
contained cots, medicine, ETC., in Ease
Of accident or battle; the second car
contained powder and balls and other
ammunition while the third held the
commissary stores. The outfit looked
decidedly warlike.
After taking on some lumber here
to repair the two culyerts burned near
Carlin, the train pulled out for the
west. One company was left at Carlin
and the remaindera are now stationed at
points along the road as far west as
Truckee. Their instructions are to
keep the road open.
There was no trouble at Carlin or
any point in Nevada, the strikers
quietly submitting to the authority Of
the U. S. troops.
The three fruit trains at Carlin were
taken to Ogden yesterday morning,
and the road is now clear from Ogden
to Sacramento.

Joaquin Miller, the poet, grows
reminiscent and says: In the Winter
oil 1854 l was employed to push a tub
along a wooden track underground. 10
was a new tunnel; everything about
it new and experimental. The mouth
of the low, narrow tunnel opened out
toward the sun and the swift, clear
klamath river. l was employed be-
cause l was SO small. The two men
worked OF their knees and breasts.
On the fifth day the hillside slid in and
M Of the men was crushed. The
water came in. My head was caught
up between two timbers, lifting my
face above the water. l could hear
the man ~groaning, till the water
reached where he lay-then was the
end. But as one of the men was out
Of the tunnel getting timbers and l
happened TO be near the mouth Of the
tunnel with my tub at the time of the
slide, l was dug out by the man who
escaped the same day. l set this down
as one example in a thousand that
almost any miner might narrate from
his underground life in California.

why Do Cattle HIoatY

The Southwest Stockman asks the
question: Why do cattle bloat on
alfalfa feed? Inquiry shows that in all
s the practice has been to cut the
alfalfa and feed it wilted. The explain
alton given by veterinary surgeons is
that the wilted alfalfa generates a gas
within the stalks that causes bloat in
the cattle. The bloat can be relieved
by sticking or pulling the tongue out
and throwing a handful of salt down
the throat. When cows browse in
standing alfalfa they eat only the tops
Of the plants which seldom causes
bloat. Every alfalfa field should have
a sack Of straw within easy access of
the cows.

A lecture, presumably scientific.
was delivered in a hall in Philadelphia
recently, the lecturer stating that the
human body contained enough iron to
make a plowshare. There are about
100 grains of iron in the average
human body, and yet so important is
this exceedingly small quantity that
its diminution is attended with very
serious results. The man who thus
talks about the quantity of iron in the
system probably knows as little about
the human body as he does about the
weight OF a plowshare.
