"Paternalisn." In Toronto, Canada.

PaternaIisn." In Toronto. Canada.
Toronto, Canada, has population Of
about 100000. II sells its street railway
privileges-not for Doodle. as our
American cities 90, but to the highest
bidder at public auction, and as a re-
suit that city is deriving large income
from the street railways, and enjoys
cheaper fares and a far better service
than under the old system.
No longtime franchises are granted,
but periodically the companies are
compelled to bid for the privilege Of u.s.
ing the streets, which, as can be easily
seen, compels companies to operate
their lines for the accommodation of the
public.
At the last letting, despite tho strin-
gent conditions imposed by the muni-
cipal authorities, three companies sub
mitted bids for the privilege of using
the streets, and as a result the city
receives 81 800 year for each mile Of
double track operated, and graduated
tax on the gross earnings of per cent
on the first million dollars, on the next
five hundred thousand dollars 10 per
cent. and SO on in n progressive scale,
the rate going as high as 20 per cent on
all receipts. over three million dollars
The city determines the rate Of fares,
ordinary tickets being sold six for rs
cents, or 25 tickets for 81. Tickets for
working people, good morning and
evening, are sold at eight for rs cents,
while school children ride for two and
a half cents.
The revenue derived by the city from
this source is $125, 900, a sum four times
as large as the revenue derived by the
city Of Chicago from its street car
lines, and yet Chicago has ten times
the population OF Toronto.
When it is suggested that it is posi-
BILE to have such things In this country
we have class Of people who are at
once seized with spasms OF "paternal-
ism," who lift thair hands in holy hor-
ror at anything that would save ten
dency to relieve the people Of monopo-
listic burdens.
In spite Of the fact that hundreds Of
cities In this country own their own
water works, gas and electric lighting
plants, and in every single instance
entire satisfaction being rendered, you
hear foolish people saying every day:
THAT won't do; that's paternalism," >"

are safe in your hands. Your decree
Of low prices and less wages for those
who produce, and more gain and less

THE DOCS ORIGIN.


esDs Interesting Facts About Mans
Most Faithful Friend.
Although the recent discussion Of the
origin Of the dog cannot be said to
have settled the long controverted
question, there seems to be decided
drift Of opinion among naturalists to
the theory that our numerous varieties
Of domesticated dogs are descended not
from single species. but from several
kinds Of wild animals, as, for instance.
the wolf and the jackal. There are re-
corded examples of tanned wolves,
which in gentleness, love for their mas
tiers and intelligence showed a truly
dog-like capacity. With regard to
tanned jackals, Darwin has pointed out
that, when caressed, they jump about
for joy, wag their tails, lower their
ears, lick their masters hands, crouch
down. and even throw themselves on
the ground. feet upwards. When fright
ened they carry their tails between
their legs. On the other hand, it is un-
derstood that, whatever animal We may
consider his progenitor, the domestica-
ton OF the dog began at an epoch ex-
ceedingly remote. The fossil remains
Of large dog have been found in ter
tiary deposits, and there is no doubt
that the dog existed in domesticated
state during prehistoric times. His
bones are discovered in the shell-heaps
of Denmark and in the lake dwellings

known that in Egypt the dog was
worshiped under the title of Anu
bis, and dog mummies have been
found. There is mastiff figured

ing to GAO B. c. The fact is often
overlooked that dogs were used by the
Greeks and Romans not only in the
chase and for hunting down escaped
prisoners, but for war, being armed
for that purpose not only with spiked
collars, but with coat Of mail. It is
said that Corinth was on one occasion
saved by fifty war-dogs, which foiled
night attack of the enemy, fighting
until all were killed but one. which
succeeded in arousing the garrison. It
is worth noting that, according to some
naturalists, the Newfoundland and St.
Bernard dogs form group by them
selves, derived neither from wolves nor
jackals, but from distinct species Of
progenitors. It is disputed question
whether the Newfoundland dog is in
digenous to North America or was in
troduced either by the Norwegians in
the year of 1000 or by Cabot in 1897.
Bearing on this question is the inter-
esting fact that the Norwegians have
dogs closely resembling the Newfound-
land breed. The Dingo dog of Australia
does certainly seem to constitute dis
tinct, Indigenous species, since 1t is
now found in both wild and domes-

It Rivals the Government Service in

Berlin has had for some years past q
private postal company for the delivery
of letters and packages, and students
Of the postal question are somewhat
astonished to learn that this concern
rivals the government postoffice in
cheapness and pays annual dividends
Of Is per cent. The private post car
ries letter ordinary weight within
the bounds of the city at two pfenninge,
or about 5 ITO mills. Last year the
private post carried 2,25O, 900 packages.
The company employs 1000 men and
many horses. The private post charges
less than the public post for packages,
circulars, and the like, and does great
deal of the work for business houses
that in New York is accomplished by
special delivery wagons and messen-
gers in the employment of the house.
Some business houses save large sums
annually by making use of the private
post.
The capital of the concern is not
large, for its 25 per cent dividend was
made last year from net profits of about
100000. It has been suggested that the
great European capitals should have
like private posts and establish an in
ternational exchange for letters and
packages in competition with the Postal
Union. But the laws of most European
countries, like those of the United
States, secure to the government a
monopoly of business strictly postal.
