Pigeon Buried by a Dog.

The London Spectator tells of dog
that got into the habit of killing pet
fantail pigeons. The dog was punished
for the trick several times, but he kept
right on killing the pigeons as if he in
tended to exterminate the race. One
day the dogs master shut him up in the
kennel and kept him there for good
many hours, to the sorrow of the dog.
At last the dog begged so hard to be al
lowed to go and showed such signs OF
repentance that he was turned loose.
The dogs behavior for some days was
perfect and not a pigeon was lost
Then, a week later, the master was in
the yard one day and saw a mound OF
fresh dirt heaving up and down, as II
something alive were beneath. The
man kicked the dirt and found live
pigeon buried beneath it. The dog had
not killed the bird; just buried it alive
Naturally the master thinks his dog can
do anything but talk.

AN ECHO OF THE PAST.
Skeleton of an Indian with Many Curious
Articles Unearthed at Spokane, Wash.

Skeleton of an Indian with Many Curious
The body of an Indian belonging ev-
identity to some very remote period, has
been unearthed almost within the city
limits of Spokane, Wash. At the east
end of Hangman creek bridge rains
have caused the banks to cave down and
thus the skeleton was exposed. 1t was
in a sitting position and buried foot
below the original surface.
Implements of the chase and nu-
merous trinkets of bone and stone were
unearthed with the skeleton. There
were six or eight flint arrow heads,
three or four bone arrow heads and
stone implements and hatchets. More
curious still were number of small
bones notched on the sides, having ev-
identity served as records of important
events. The other Indians in this vi
cinity have no recollection of the body
ever having been buried there. til sup
posed from appearances the body has
lain there at least 200 years.
An Aspiring Burglar.
A Paris burglar who had lofty as
pirations and yearned to be at the top
of his profession recently made his way
to the summit of the Eiffel tower and
cracked couple of safes belonging to
the restaurant and theater which are
conducted at that giddy height.

SHOES THAT BREATHE.
Peculiar Invention Of a Salt Lake
City CUtah) Shoemaker.
Insoles Provided with Air Chambers and
Channels Through Which Air Is
Pumped Into the Interior
of the Shoe.

Some people have said that no good
thing could come out of Salt Lake
city, but Matthew Hilgert, Mormon
shoemaker of a studious mind, claims
to have disproved this by inventing
what he calls the breathing shoe"
The purpose of the shoe is primarily to
provide q means of ventilation for the
feet, the necessity for such ventilation,
according to the inventors statement.
being alarmingly great Mr.. Hilgert
claims that the dread disease of con-
sumption can be directly traced to the
wearing of shoes that lack porousness.
and which not only cramp the feet and
prevent a healthy circulation of the
blood, but cause the pedal extremities
to become overheated and the skin alb
normally surcharged with moisture.
Shoemaker Hilgert asserts that the
wearer of an unventilated shoe catches
cold ON the slightest provocation, the
cold leads to consumption, and con-
sumption to death. On the tombstones
of great percentage of the people who
have died of consumption there should
be written, according to Shoemaker
Hilgert:
Had he allowed his feet to breathe,
The departed would still be breathing"
The invention to enable the feet to
breathe consists, according to the New
York Journal, of shoe having an in
sole, with three air channels that lead
from a common center in the heel.
These air channels contain holes
through which air can be pumped into
the interior of the shoe. The motive
power is the muscular movement of the
individual who wears the shoe.
Every time the foot comes down OIL
the heel of the shoe the weight presses
a spring, which acts in the same way
as pair of bellows. At each step the
air is forced through the channels and
around the shoe by the motion of the
foot. AS the movement is shifted from
the heel to the toe in walking the air
escapes by way of the heel, and when
the weight comes down on the heel
again fresh supply is pumped into the
shoe.
Mr.. Hilgert's novel invention is re-
garded by leading shoemakers as inn

portant, inasmuch as there has long
been an unsupplied demand for shoe
that would relieve sufferers from that
distressing affection - perspiring ex-
tremities-an affliction that is said TO
be equally as distressing as the kindred
complaint of cold feet.
Whatever may be the practical value
Of Mr.. Hilgert's invention, there is no
doubt that much truth lies in his theo-
ries ON the subject of shoe and feet.
There Is positively no part of the body
Of the ordinary civilized man Orwoman
which Is so maltreated us the feet are.
They are clothed with an utter disre-
gard OF all hygrenic laws. Moreover,
the shoes that are worn to-day are prob
ably more injurious than any that have
been known in any previous period of
the worlds history. To this we have
come, in spite of our boosted practicali-
ty and our disregard Of beauty in the
pursuit of the useful. Ancient SaXons
bound their feet wholesomely in linen,
with thongs to keep 1T IN place. Medi-
eval men wore comfortable and beauti-
full shoes of Unframed doeslkin. The
result of the modern state of affairs is
too horribly apparent.

The monster waited, tingling with inn
patience. His tail twitched and his
big ears tapped more vigorously.
"Blow!" said Snyder, and the ele-
plant blew. He blew so loudly that the
visitors stopped their ears and two sis
ter elephants in the adjoining apart
nent trumpeted in emulation.
Louder" said Snyder. And Tom
blew louder. Then Snyder told him to
stop, and with look of yearning in his
eyes Tom handed the horn to the

PEARY'S PLAN.
Brief Outline Of the Way in Which
He Would Reach the Pole.
Che Arctic Explorer Presents His Scheme
to the American Geographical So
ciety, Which Gives Him
Cullum Gold Medal.

At the annual meeting of the Americ-
an Geographical society IN New York
city, President Daily presented Lieut..
L. E. Peary, the arctic explorer, who
was dressed in naval uniform, with the
first Cullum gold medal in recognition
of his services as an explorer. In ac-
cepting the medal Lieut.. Peary said he
believed the north pole would be
reached very soon, and if the United
States was going to get the glory it
should be about it at once. He proposed
the following plan of doing this:
my plan in fewest words is to raise
a fund sufficient to insure the continual
ton of the work for ten years, say
$4,000, and deposit it in q trust COM
pany; purchase ship; give her min
imum crew; load with concentrated
provisions; proceed to Whale sound;
take on several picked families of my
faithful EsquimauX, with their tents,
canoes, dogs, etc.; force a way through
Robinson channel to Sherard Osborne
Fjord or farther, and land people and
stores; then send the ship back.
Gas soon as the freezing of the ice in
the great fjords of the northwest coast
would permit sledge travel, the work OF
advancing supplies northeastward
along the coast would be commenced.
AS soon as the supplies had been adj
vanced the first stage, the party itself
would move forward, leaving a cache
behind
Then the second stage of advance
would be taken up, so that early spring
should find the party and the bulk of it's
supplies located at the northern ter
minus OF the North Greenland archi-
pelago, probably not far from the
eighty-ffth parallel with caches behind
1t at each prominent headland.
From this point, when the proper
time came, with picked dogs, the light
est possible equipment and two of the
best of the EsquimauN, the dash for the
pole would be attempted with strong
probabilities of successful termina-
ton.
In nutshell, my project means,
first, the raising of sum sufficient to
insure persistent, continued effort so
that if the attempt fails the first year it
can be repetaed the next, and the next,
and the next until it is done.
Second, the establishment of a party
OF picked Esquimau families, a surgeon
and an experienced leader at the high
est practical point on the northwest
coast of Greenland, with ample supplies,
means of communication which would
enable the colony to sustain itself I'M
til its work is accomplished, and with n
practical line of retreat entirely indie
pendent of the ship"
The late Gen. Cullum, who left $780,
600 to the society, provided that part of
the income of the fund should be ex-
pended in giving gold medals to persons
achieving notable results in geograph-
ical research.

tons, crept on all four knees, stood

Diseases Peculiar to Miners.

Coal miners as class are not very
susceptible to consumption, their
troubles begin more asthmatic and
bronchitic. Where the air particles are
sharp and cut the lung tissues, tuber-
culosis will intervene, and the mortality
among miners of tin, among grinders,
and that class Is large.

GOLF.

The New York Herald is enthusi-
astic over the new game of golf,
which it thinks is proving the saliva
tion of the ''delicate American girl. :"
OF all the rot the great papers of the
effete East are indulglng in, the crazy
Endorsement of every foolish fad
that gives outdoor exercise is the
-srottiest.'' Eve never swung a
.scaddy' or had dozen tired little
urchins carrying her skinny sticks. ;"
Cleopatra was so healthy that she had
to be snaked out of the world, but
she never chased golf ball over a
thousand acres of ground.
Undoubtedly golf is beneficial to
the be-corseted, gimlet- wasted, eye
glassed and bone beshanked repre-
sentatives of the New York and
Boston uppertendom, but for the
American girl who finds her exercise
in household duties, well performed !;
who puts on a gingham apron and
finds health and color IN work, golf
is not needed. A good saddle horse
is worth as a health-glver whole
shipload of shlnny balls; broad
soled pair of shoes, backed by a
desire to climb the hills and become
acquainted with nature, is more val
liable than armloads of crook-necked
sticks, with the accompanying inan-
titles, the eye-glassed dudes.
Why seek golf when drills are to
be pounded, dishes to be washed,
rooms to be swept, shovels and
planes, hammers and saws and forges,
and the thousands of unitarian
things are demanding attention. The
proper thing when bifurcated dude
and wasp-waisted dudess go CLAM
curing over the links, is for some
able-bodied man to take their clubs
from them, and out of regard for the
balance of humanity, knock the
measly combination IN the head.

The country grows. In the cleo
tion held yesterday in Greater New
York mayor was elected. The
title is somehow not a suggestive
one, and yet the man elected mayo:
has more offices under his control
and a vastly larger amount of pat
ronage than the first president. He
has also nearly as many people to
rule over. 1t IS a suggestive com
mentary on the growth of the United
States when one city can show pop
ulation at the end of 127 years equal
to that of the entire thirteen colonies
that threw off the rule of Britain.

ALASKAN CLIMATE.

A few years ago the United States
coast and geodetic survey made a
series of six months observations on
the Yukon river, not far from the
Klon6ike. AS these observations
extended from October to April,
their records afford a reliable test of
the winter climate which may be ex-
pected by persons going into that
country. The average temperature
for October was 33 above zero; for
November, above zero; December.
IL below zero; January, II below
zero; February, Is below zero;
March, 6 above zero, and April. 20
above zero. Fer 169 days the tenn
perature renamed below the freezing
point.
The lowest temperatures registered
during the winter were: November,
32 below zero; December, AZ below
zero; January, 50 below zero; Feb
ruary, 50 below zero; March, 45 be-
low zero; and April, 26 below zero.
The greatest continuous cold occurred
in February, when the average for
five days was AZ below zero.
In the Klondike region in mid
winter the sun rises from 80 to 10
a. M, and sets from to p. nc. In
June the sun rises about 80 in the
morning, and sets about 9 p. M,
giving about twenty hours of day
light and four hours of twilight.
