francs a year since the presidency of
MacMahon, 1878. In that year it was
t3,5O0,O 0 francs, but for 1896 it is only

HUNTING DOGS IN ALL LANDS


Facts Of Interest to Lovers of the Manly
Sports.
The Irish water spaniel is the king
of r~etrievers.
The Esquimau uses the wolf dog for
both drawing sledges and hunting
game.
In Labrador and Newfoundland is
found a partially web-footed New
foundland dog, valuable for hunting
birds in a country of morasses.
The English foxhound is the most
carefully bred of all dogs. The COM
mon hound in this country is a com
bination of different strains.
The modern English greyhound is
not strong, but is very swift. He is
used only for hunting game in sight,
as his nose or smelling power is very
defective.
The Scottish deerhound, a descend
ant of the extinct Irish greyhound, is
used in Scotland for chasing the stag.
He was a favorite subject for SCOTS
poesy and L~andseer's brush.
The kangaroo dog is used in Aus
tralia for chasing the kangaroo. He
is a cross of the blood hound and the
greyhound, and a pair of these valuable
animals recently sold for $3.50.
The greyhound, one of the most not
able Of hunting dogs, was used in
Egypt at least 5000 years ago. IN
early days the greyhound was the
royal dog Of England, and to kill either
4 hound or a stag was punishable by
death.
Among bird hunters allegiance is d.
vided between the pointer and the set
ter. The latter is the better retriever
and the stronger animal; the former
is generally the more tractable and in
telligent, The pointer is derived from
an old Spanish breed of hounds, crossed
with the greyhound or foxhound.-

Nh, well; let it pass in silence.

Even yet.
And life has far nobler uses
Than regret.
There are joys that wait our coming
Down the years,
Do not think that / shall meet them
But with tears
That for me life holds no promise,
Only fears.
Do not fear that / shall idly
Sit and wait.
Watching, with the old blind worship,
Your fair fate.
This might once have been; now,

'Tis too late.
There are breezy heights my footsteps
Well may tread.
There's futures radiant promise
Overhead.
Naught shall dim its light, not even
Words you've said.
So Wen let the years slip from us,
Suns have set.
In our life may love and sweetness
Linger yet.

A few years ago the Missouri

cunning and enterprising fellow at

the idea of forming company to be

catch driftwood on shares. giving
them one-third of what they caught,
the company getting the other two
thirds. This kept up for day or
two until one worker shrewder than
the others happened to think that
the workers had the same rights as
the company to the driltwood. He
made his fellow workers under
stand this and they refused to work
and the company was busted

Company had to the driftwood

for several years with ling trouble,

full disease-consumption, Slowly but
surely he was being driven into the

He has destroyed the germs in every
nook and corner of his body, forced
the digestion and assimilation Of hi
food, with Swamp Angel Medicine, and
health naturally followed. He has
written us several enthusiastic letterss
but too long for publication. He is
