ally prevalent that our dogs are sim
ply domestioated wolves We now
know that this is wrong. As he is
today the dog is most thoroughly the
creature of man. Originally, Of
course, he was a wild animal, but al
ways distinctly a dog. He is com
paratiyely recent in his appearance,
but is well defined even in his earliest
state. Fossil remains Of him have

"The belief that a dog bowls

the old star worship of primeval
times. Then it was said the souls of
men Travelled along the Milky Way

dogs watched for the departure of the

he Is always more the companion than

Some Antlnnn Phrnses.

Some interesting bits Of philology
are given in a recent number Of the
Glasgow Christian Leader. "Conspic-
uous by its absence" We are told. is
an expression used by Lord Russell
in a speech made by him in 1859, but
the expression is as old as Tacitus,
having been employed by that histo-
rian in exactly the same way as by
Lord John Russell, who, being a fin
ished classical scholar, no doubt trans
lated aud adapted it to his own use.
The phrase ITO die in the last ditch"
was first used by William, prince Of
Orange, who, during the war with
France, was asked what he would do
in case the troops of Holland we're de-
feated in the field, and who replied:
st will die in the last ditch" The
"baker's Dozen" meaning thirteen,
dates back to the time OF Edward I,
when very rigid laws we're enated re-
garding the sale of bread by bakers.
The punishment for falling short in
the sale Of loaves by the dozen was so
severe that in order to run no risk the
bakers were accustomed to give thir-
teen or fourteen loaves to the dozen,
and thusarose this peculiar expression.
The sobriquet 'Father Of his coun-
try" dates farther back than the time
of George Washington, being first APP
piled to Marius, the Roman, who, b.
@. 102 and 101, won signal victories
over the northern barbarians. Marius
declined the honor, but the name was
afterwards given to Cicero, then to
several more or less worthy Roman
emperors, and finally to Washington,
who, by his enemies, was also termed
the "stepfather of his country"

Mr.. Merrill Read Title With a
Voice That Trembled.
An Effort to Have il Rec0mmitted
Was Prevented by Hill.

WASHINGTON, Feb. At was u 80 be-
fore the routine was cleared away and Mr..
Morrill,, chairman of the finance commit
tee, secured recognition to report back
the tariff bill. He read i'm somewhat trem-
ulous voice the original title, and then
the new title as reported:

added: 81 am disposed in presenting

ceedings in Massachusetts. and may God

The financ committee OF the Senate
had agreed to report for the tariff bill a
substitute providing for the free coinage
of silver. The substitute was suggested
by Senator Vest and was agreed to by a
majority OF 1, Senator Jones of Nevada
voting with the Democrats for the substi-
tute u all the Republicans present vot-
ing against it. senator Wolcott of Colo
RADIO was the only Republican absent and
he was recorded as voting against the sub
stitute. Senator ZONES of Arkansas, the
only Democratic member not present,
was recorded as voting for IL. The sub
stitute agreed to is in the exact words Of
the silver substitute for the bond bill
which passed the Senate on Saturday.
The meeting of the committee did not last
To exceed half an hour and was devoid OF
especial feature beyond the Offering and
adoption OF the substitute.
There had been confusion through the
chamber when the bill was reported, but
there was q hush as Mr.. Morrill, proceeded
and a general laugh at his reference to
the Massachusetts, proceedings. Mr.. Quay
had remained standing while Mr.. Morrill,
spoke, and at once followed with a mo-
tion to re-commit the bill TO the finance
committee with instructions to report the
original bill and amendmssts separately.
Mr.. Quay made the motion with evident
feeling. each word swapping out with
emphasis.
Mr.. Hill called attention to the fact that

sustained the point.
''Then," said Mr.. Quay, 81 ask unani-
nous consent hat this bill be referred

PoRTeMouTH, Feb. 4.-The British

Madeira, with the remains of Prince Hem
~ of Battenberg, who died at sea on

All the flags on the ships, forts n

CHRISTIANS AND r
Efforts to Show That Former Are Only
Cause of Trouble. =

Boston, Feb. At now seems, from as
sertions made in recent correspondence
from Central Turkey, that since the dis
turbances began in that district, no Mos
lem has been punished for violence done
to Christians. It, is also learned that up
to the very last of December, at least, no
Christian had dared TO resume business.
"Indeed,O saws q writer, she cannot
venture outside of n very narrow circle
in the city without a military escort. "
Continuing, a writer from Aintab says:
"a perfectly characteristic attempt is re-
ing made to represent that Christians
have been the aggressors in this whole
trouble, and that they are now the only
disturbing element in the situation. This
Is simply the fable of the wolf and the
lamb over again. AT the present time,
the whole Christian population is dis
armed and il entirely passive in the
hands OF the government. On the other
hand, Moslems OF all sorts and degrees
carry arms, and swRgger and distort them
selves without restraint
This writer says that while the Christ
ians are still in possession OF Zeitoun,
the situation is unsettled and is the cause
Of much anxiety and adds: apparently
those hardy mountaineers are giving the
Turks much trouble. There Is a rumor
here of an effort to arbitrate the case.
This, and a few other straws, give hope
that the powers are getting a hand on
the wheel again" This aspect is said to
cause much dissatisfaction, as at present,
except to hold back the mob from actual
~plundering OF houses, the government
is doing absolutely nothing 20 secure or
vindicate The rights OF native Christians,
while il Is most vigilant and energetic in
prosecuting them on any suspicion or
accusation, however false or absurd"

that have given the Ladd concern a

PARTITION, Will be TO close out the Ladd
stock at a sacrifice together with any
surplus stock that Shepard x Company
may have on and This is desirable
partly because in many lines the two
stocks conflict, both houses carrying
much the same goods. Preparations for
this are now going on and the sale will
y be announced In O day or two. In readi-
ness Tor the spring trade many OF the de-
partments common to both houses will
then be enlarged and it is proposal TO add
new departments. The result viii be q
notable addition to the dry good facili-
ties furnished in this town. Some OF
the departments, 1t is proposed, will be
made not only larger than either house
maintained before, but larger thar both
combined, and in addition new depart

The purchasing house buys with the
stock and fixtures the urexpired lease OF
