One of the cleyerest and most significant
achievements that must be placed to the
credit of Prince Lobanoff since he assumed
control of the foreign policy of Russia last
spring is the acquisition on behalf OF his gov
ernment Of an immense quantity of stock in
the Suez Canal company. The large purchases
of these securities, which have besn going on
for three months past, at Paris as well as in
London. and which have gone far to main
tain the shares at high premium. now turn
out to have been made for the Russian treas
ury. Great Britain secured the predominance
which she now enjoys in the administration
Of the Suez canal solely by extensive pur-
chasey of stock formerly held in the concern
by French and Egyptian investors. and ap-
parently Russia Is now taking a leaf out Of
her book and endeayoring to supplant her in
the control Of the high road to India and
China by means of the same financial
methods.

A Window In His Head.

Although ''every dog has his day." few of tho species attain to the distinction and celebrity of one which formerly belonged to the late MT. Arthur Durham. The fame of this animal was spread far and wide about five and twenty or thirty years ago, and "Durham's dog'' was as we'll known in scientific circles as the president of the Royal society. For the better pursuit of his investigations into the state of the brain In sleeping and waking MT. Dur ham had removed large part of the ami malls skull and had glazed the orifce with stout watch glass. The operation had been performed with the assistance of an aesthetics, and the dog was quite unaware that anything of tho kind had occurred to him, or that he had n transparent crown to his cranium. But through this watch glass the state of the circulation in his brain in sleeping or waking could be ob- served with tho greatest accuracy and ease and much useful information was thus supplied by him. believe that he lived happily for many years afterward and that he suffered no inconvenience from having glass top.-Iondon World.

A DOG OF ALASKA.
He Was Slouchy and Depraved Looking, but He Surprised tho Spectators.

"Up in Alaska" said Colonel Aims worth, "the Indians have native dog, large, savage and shaggy, which goes by the name of coyote. These dogs are much larger than the prairie wolves of that namo and look much more like the big wolves of the plains. They are, however, and very plainly, nothing but dogs and you can see hundreds of them around any of the h. dian villages. In the dullness of Alaskan life every method of amusement is resort ed to. Dog fights arc common, and might say very popular. Everybody but tho chaplain always goes to 0 dog fight, and the nero intimation that that a dGg fight fight is is pending is enough to hurry everybody through his business, so that ho may be foot loose t6 attend On one of the steam boats which used to ply up and down tho Alaskan coast the officers had bulldog that weighed about 35 pounds and whose mission it was to drive away dull care Whenever the boat stopped they would let Jack-that was the dog name-out on tho wharf, and Jack would tackle the first dog he came to, and then there would be a fight. Jack was great warrior and won all his battles. And so fond was he of these martial affairs that whenever tho SkthbiOi boSesb houA hbB lon PiCt q aSA oindJ D crowded very anxiously to tho front at the gangway and was the first one down tho plank and onto tho wharf Jack was al ways looking for fight, and if he couldn't find one he felt paincd and discontented
 "Onc day was lying asleep in my stato- room. The boat was at Sitka One of the officers came down and awakened mo.
 There's dog out on tho wharf that 1nOkc 1il.a n 1uolf ha cold inno nf ho dcckhands has tied him up, and as soon as the work is over we're going to turn Jack loose and let him lick him
 "This was very inspiring, as informa- tion, and I at once arose to be present at the ceremony. Jack was aboard the boat and hadn't yet heard of tho foe. took a look at tho victim which the men had ropcd up and found him sad taciturn dog-in fact, one of those Indian dogs which we called coyotes.
 "There were no preliminaries when Jacks time came When he was turned loose, he started in at the coyote with the greatest ardor. Tho battle didn't last over 30 seconds, but was the most savage thing of the kind ever beheld. At tho end of 80 seconds that despised slouch of coyote had simply cut the bulldog to pieces, and he was too dead to skin. The boat almost went into mourning about it. Some of the bereaved officers who had been warm friends of Jack wanted to mcte out death to the coyote. But fairer sentiment pre- vailed. He had won his battle on the square, and there was nine-tenths vote in favor of his being liberated. He was thrown loose and lurkod off with sort of hangdog expression, with his tail between his legs, as if there wasn't an ounce of real fight in him. But we looked at our dead bulldog and knew better. '-Wash- ington Star.

TRAIL OF BLOOD.
Every Mile of the Old Overland Route
 Marked by Crime.

Marked Dy Crlmes
 Denver Field and Farm.
 The old overalnd trail running from Independence, Mo, to Santa Fe is simply an elongated graveyard. This old route has long since been abandoned, for rail- roads now traverse the vast extent of country, the Apaches are practically subdued and the old-fashioned swinging stage coaches that stood the bullets of savages and desperadoes, as well as the buffetings of the wind and weather, have fallen into innocuous desuetude and de- cay Men who were killed or died on the trail were simply pulled to one side. and a little mound of earth, with pile of stones at the head, is all that marks the last resting place of those whose bones lie moldering in the dust.
 On the trail near Wagon Mound there is a spot beneath which lies all that was earthly of Jules Burroughs. He was a gentlemanly highwayman, and held up coaches, waylaid travellers and robbed with a decency and gen tility that was as unusual as it was strange. One of his most daring exploits occurred in the fall of 1868. Burroughs stationed himself on horseback in a cou- lee or depression in the prairie. near the Cimarron crossing, and as the coach sWept around curve the occupants were startled by the figure of a masked man,

 Passengers and driver first thought of protesting but shot laid one of the horses low, whereupon seven half-scared individuals stepped out on the prairie and threw up their hands, as they were politely requested to do. The highway man, covering them with his right-hand weapon, with his left hand pulled little sack or bag from his belt and tossing 1t to the first man on the left, said: Place that over your heads, please, and then raise your hands again. Don't make any attempt, gentlemen to better your sit- uation, for the first one who makes a move will be a dead man in less than 1 second.'

"I never had one sur lily replied the prisoner. Are you law yer?" inquired Burroughs. Yes Then I forgive you for lying, for that is parb of your profession. But by an examlna- ton of your vest button holes and your vest pocket I am convinced thatyou had a watch less than ten minutes ago. Now where is it? Tell me quick! The lawyer. for in truth he was a lawyer, saw that his captor was as shrewd, if not shrewd- er than he was, so he made no, more CT forts at concealment and answered frankly, "I tossed my watch and cham out of, the window when you halted us It is lying over there in the grass.

He watched an opportunity to make dash if possible to catch the highwayman off his guard, but the latter was not of that kind. and actually pierced the unhappy lawyer with his lynxlike gaze When the valuable time piece was placed In his hands Burroughs made polite bow to the owner and handed it back to him. "Take it." said he, with a sarcastic grace, "and keep it in remembrance of your mo- ble loyalty to your profession. No law yer can afford to tell the truth and 1 admire you for your faithfulness to the cause"
