How Canadians and E%Quimaux Manage
Their Canine COurser&

ROw Canadians and Esquimaux Manage
Their Canine COursers
Mr.. Cameron Ia his talk with re-
porter told of the dogs that are used
for sledging during the winter in the
Northwest territories of Canada.
Six or eight dogs are used on each
sledge. They are fed only once in
twenty-four hours, and that is in the
morning before the start is made, and
after the dogs are in harness. At
that time about four pounds of frozen
fish are given to them. Everything
must be in readiness for the start,
and the men must look to it that they
are at hand to jump on the sledges,
for at the very instant that the last
morsel of fish disappears the dogs are
OF at break-neck speed. Strange as
1t may seem, the drivers do not dare to
feed the dogs unless they are in har-
ness. Otherwise they would scatter,
and nothing more would be seen OF
them. They are driven with one long
rein attached to the leader.
A whip with very short handle and
a very long lash is used to urge them
on, though in most cases they need no
urging, for they seem to feel that the
faster they go the quicker they will
come to the post where food and
warmth and a lazy life await them.
They travel often as far as ninety
miles day.

RICH FAMILIES IN AMERICA.


Astors and the vandsFbE1ts Control Be
tween Them Hundreds OF Millions.
A careful estimate of the wealth OF
the Astors puts it at 500. .0o00, 900, and
this makes the family the richest in
the United States. What is more, the
wealth of the Astors is in such shape
that IL cannot bat increase, for the
reason that it is gilt-edged New York
City real estate, some of which has
within the past ten years increased in
value TOO per cent and is still appr~Si-
ating. The policy Of the Astors has
always been to buy real estate on the
lines along which New York City is
now extending and hold it for rise,
rarely selling, however, but building
and renting instead. The result is
that the Astor properties are in valua-
BILE lands, in brick, iron, stone and
mortar instead of in fuctuating stocks
and bonds, the fixed value of which is
always uncertain. As family the
Vanderbi1ts stand next to tho Astors
In the matter Of wealth, and their
riches must be considered in the
aggregate and in common, since their
individual fortunes are pooled, so to
speak. You will often see Cornelius
Vanderbilt, the present head of the
house, quoted as being worth $780,
600, 600. OF course he is not worth
any such am cunt. Cornelius has most
OF theVanderbilt millions, but those
who know say that he Is personally
not worth above $50. 900, 900. If o.
much.

national Airn.

The national airs of great countries
are short, while those of little coun-
tries are long. ''God Save the Queen"
is fourteen bars, the Russian hymn is
sixteen bars, and ''Hail Columbia has
twenty-eight bars. Slams national
hymn has seventy-six bars, and that OF
Uruguay seventy; Chili's forty-six, and
so on. San Marino has the longest
national hymn, except China, which is
SO long that people take half day OF
70 listen to it.

Why 10 Ie4

'It is a somewhat curious thing, :"
observed q commercial traveller. ''that
even the most fastidious individual
who will reject with indignation a
tumbler that had been used by another
diner at hotel, will not hesitate TO
drink out of cup or glass on rail-
way train, although it may have been
used by thousands Of persons, many
Of them of not over cleanly habits.
The same thing applies to the per-
sons who use the ice-water coolers in
public buildings or hotels. Why then
should SO much fastidiousness be dis
played by persons at hotel or other
table as to the use of tumbler from
which single person had previously
drank?"

Two Of the most wonderful stalae-

miles south OF Toquerville and the
other twenty-five miles west Of 81
George Neither q remarkable on
account of size, and TO the best Of my
knowledge the dignsfying title aOf s.cav-
ernp has never been bestowed on
either of the two. They simply come
within the category of wonderful bar
cause Of the immense number Of stall
actites, of various sizes and co1crg
which depend from their roofs. The
first, the one near Toquerville, In
known as La Virgin, . @1d the other
by the name Of t@s sBl& * Warrior. /"
The Virgin was discovered q few years
ago by the contractor of an irrigating
company. who was also engaged In
driving . tunnel through . mountain
called LA Virgin Rcnch" for the pur-
pose Of tapping the river beyond.
When the light was first let into this
wonderful underground chamber the
effect is said to have been startling,
the roof and floor glittering with
cubes and points of crystal alum and
the roof studded with millions of rain
bow-colored stalactites.
The "Black Warrior cave is coun-
terpart Of the Virgin and was discov-
cred by miners at . point whore theiH
tunnel was 365 feet beneath the sur
face.

The bible has been printed, either
wholly or in part, in asa languages or
dialects. Up to April, 1892, there had
been more than 1000, 900 copies Of
bibles, testaments and portions of the
scripture printed in Great Britain and

the millions printed by private pub
