Rev. Joseph Coleman. of Oskaloosa,
an evangelist of the Friends church,
was in the city and made us a pleasant
call He has travelled great deal and
gave some very interesting details of
the Negro in the south. He was an
eyewitness to many of the disgraceful
scenes enacted upon helpless Negroes.
He related one incident where man
had been stopping at white mans
restaurant for several years when in
the city. One day a neighbor came
into the restaurant and informed the
keeper that the man had Negro blood
in his veins. The Negro was whittier in
complexion than either the informer or
the keeper, but he had to go. Mr..
Coleman is strongly opposed to
irresponsible Negro men and women
going about the country telling people
that all the Negroes of the south are
meeting their jast fate. for he knows It
to be pure fabrication.

a LEGEND or THE BIRDS.

4
There is legend in quaint woods,
\ About the pretty, joyous birds.
Once they we're helpless little things,
With burdens in the place OF wings.
They bore their burdens with brave heart
Each burden Of each bird part.
They could not rise above the ground,
As now they rise at sight or sound
The birds to their own nature true,
Longing to battle in heavens blue,
Upreaching with an instinct fine,
Like that which makes the trailing vine
In deepest darkness seek the light,
OFT strove, in vain, to rise In flight
BY dint Of striving hard aud long,
As children practice on song.
AT length to wings their burdens grew,
And lightly through the air they few,
Borne by the wings that long before
They patiently as burdens bore.
Outlines Of duty we complain,
As heavy burdens, borne with pain
But even burdens, borne Alright.
Heavy at first, at length grow light
And, changed to wings may help us rise,
To heavenly mansions in the skies.
-Egbert L Bangs, in Chicago Advance.

ANCESTRY OF THE DOG.

i whore and When the Faithful Friend o
Man Originated.
There seems to be a decided drift o.
opinion among naturalists that oul
numerous varieties of domesticated
4 dogs are descended not from a single
species, but from several kinds of wil6
| animals, as, for instance, the wolf and
the jackal.
tanned wolves, which in gentleness,
love for their masters 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, couch down and even
throw themselves on the ground feet
upward. When frightened they carry
their tails between their legs.
On the other hand, it is understood
that, whatever animal we may con-
slider his progenitor, the domestication
of the dog began at an epoch exceed
ingly remote. The fossil remains of q
large dog have been found in tertiary
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 of
Switzerland.
The dog meets us in the dawn Of his
tory, for such varieties as the hound,
greyhound and watchdog are depicted
on Egyptian monuments five thousand
years old. It is we'll known that in
Egypt the dog was worshiped under
the title of Anubis, and dog mummies
have been found. There is a mastiff
figured on an Assyrian sculpture be-
longing to GAO B. G.
dogs were used by the Greeks and
Romans not only in the chase and for
running down escaped prisoners, but
for war, being armed for the purpose
not only with spiked collars, but with
a 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 they were all
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
derived neither from
wolves nor jackals, but from distinct |
species of progenitors 1t is disputed |
question whether the Newfoundland
log is indigenous to North America or
vas introduced either by the Norwe-
sians in the year 1000 or by Cabot in
497. Bearing on this question is the
interesting fact that the Norwegians
AVE dogs closely resembling the New
oundland breed. The Dingo dog, of
australia, does certainly seem to con-
titute a distinct, indigenous species,

nd domesticated state in that coun-
ry, and it's fossil remains are associ-
ted with those of extinct animals. -
