Dogs as the Food as Well as the Friends
of Mankind.

Dogs as the Food as Well as the Friends
of Mankind.
Darwin relates somewhere that when
the inhabitants OF TERRA del Fuego are
pressed by famine they kill and eat their
old women rather than their dogs, and
that i'm Australia fathers will sacrifice
their children I'm order that the mothers
may be able 10 nourish this useful servant
Of men. The Chinese, however, tend and
fatten their dogs carefully TO eat. They
also consider the cat a choice dish. AT
Peking and throughout China there Is no
dainty repast without its flllet or leg of
dog. The cat Is rather dish of the poorer
classes.
History tells us that in early times tho
dog was always regarded as an edible ami
NAL. Tho inhabitants of certain nomes OF
Ggypt piously embalmcd their dead dogs,
but others considered that it was more in
conformity TO the doctrines Of a wise econ
omy to kill and eat them. Plutarch tells
us that the dwellers in Cynopolis, where
dogs were honorod as divine, made war on
tho Oxyrinchis, who had committed the
sacrilege of eating dogs.
In his book Oh diet Hippocrates, speak
ing of common articles of food, is of the
opinion that the flesh of the dog gives heat
"Our fathers, says Pliny, regarded small
dogs rs so pure a food that they used them
for expiatory victims Even today young
dogs flesh is served ut feasts held in honor
OF the gods.
The savages of North America, for lack
Of provisions often sacrifice their compan-
ions of the chase. We are told that before
the introduction OF cattle the Spaniards in
Mexico used the native dogs SO freely az
food that the species has now completely
disappeared
The Greenlandcrs and the Kamchatkans
also sometimes cat their dogs, but only
when reduced TO this cruel extremity by
famine. In Africa dogs form the food
of certain negro tribes. In the Ashanti
country the flesh is eaten both fresh and
dried, and it appears that in the lower
kongo region, among the Batekes, there is
custom that must make every friend Of
dumb beasts rage with indignation-bcfore
killing dog for food it is maltreated and
tortured TO make the flesh more tender

Different Species Of Beasts Entertain n
Dislike For Each Other.

Different Species Of Beasts Entertaip n
Dislike For Each Other.
The likes and dislikes OF animals are
unaccountable. Some horses take violent
prejudice against certain men, even
though they arc treated kindly and though
the mans moral character is fair. Be
tween the cat and dog there Is a violent
antipathy, which. however, Is not infre-
Quently displayed by mutual respect, and
even affection In exceptional cases. The
elephant hates dogs and rats. Cows dislike
dogs, and so do sheep and, what seems
stranger, are particularly partial to bears.
On the other hand, horses soathe and de-
test camcls and refuse TO be deccntly civil
to them after long acquaintance. They
even hate the place where camels have
been, which seems to be carrying race pref
udice to asn extreme.
Evolutionists are accustomed to explain
these instructive feelings as surviyals of
ancestral enmities dating from the days
when one race preyed on the other. This
would account for the natural enmity Of
cows to dogs, for when cows were wild
they were Obliged TO defend their calves
from bands of predatory wild dogs. But
why should tho horse like dogsS 1t is but
the other day that the wild horses organ
lied 20 defend their colts from wolves on
our western prairies. What could the an.
cestral horse have had against the ances
tral camel Of IA million years ago? Above
all, why should the horse approve Of the
bearY 1t must be that the horse has dor
mant sense of beauty and of humor. The
ideal OF the horse is grace, combined with
strength. He dlsapprovcs from tho bot
tom Of his nature of tho hopclessly vulgar,
awkward and unnsthetical camel. The
bear, he sees at once, though clumsy, is
unpretentious, truthful and not devoid Of
a sense OF humor. The dog he recognizes
as good fellow, companionable and un-
selfish. He therefore forgets his ancestral
predaceous habits. A strong bond between
the dog and the horse is that they are both
fond Of sport, whereas a camel would not
go an inch to SEQ tho best race that was
ever run.
The horse does seem n little prejudiccd
i'm the case Of the camel, but il Is fine,
aristocratic, unreasonable prejudice he
has And we like him for himself and for
showing that the evolutionists cannot ex-
plain all the sentiments Of refined and
highly organized animal Man, of course,
they can account for in every particular.

Carlsbad In 1919.

American, one David Parish, who was
United States consul at that time, and
dwelt at the sign of the Melon on the

had kindly placed the town records at my
disposal, and | made note of one or two
curious things. Today Americans come
To Carlsbad by the thousand every year,
and English is almost the prevailing lam
guage among shopkeepers and hotel peo-
pie. In 1919 the total number Of guests
was 1000. In 1897 1t was more than 40,-
600. Then it had only four doctors, where
as now more than 800 are occupied. One
entry tells us that Herr J. Wolfgang Won

or and minister of state from Weimar, Is

THE CITY OF BATH.


No city In all broad England, with the
single exception OF It's majestic capital, Is
so rich In historic memories a. Bath, the
Queen Of the West" Few II any have n
more striking nobility of aspect or are
more favored Ia their surroundings. The
great English man of letters unS com
pared IL with his beloved Florence did no
more than justice TO the beauty OF it's situ-
alton among its enlbosoming bills, and he
might have added In praise OF its climate
ss q winter home that its protecting
heights of Lansdowne AID Bathwick give
passage TO none of those Icy blasts which
sweep at times over the Tuscan city from
the wind erievod Apennines. Its archi-
lecture, II not so light and graceful as that
Of the south, has a solid and stately char
acter OF its own, and the Arno itself flows
ebt more sweetly than the Avon through
its peaceful pastures TO the Severn sea.
And, thanks no doubt 10 the attraction OF
its healing waters rather than TO its charm
OF site or antiquity OF history, IL has drawn
TO 1t more Of human greatness and genius
than any city Of ancient or modern times.
To recite the names Of those who have
paid some Of them a passing visit TO Bath,
but more Of whom have made II their tenn
porary abode, is almost TO call the roll OF
Englishmcn famous in arts and arms, re-
nowned for learning and wisdom, eminent
in piety and good works for generations
past Statesmen such as Pitt and Chat
ham, Burke and Sheridan; poets such as
Byron and Wordsworth, Cowper and
Crabbe and Goldsmith; noyelists such as
Fielding and Scott and Dickens and that
inimitable artist In literary miniature
who drew her inspirations and her models
from the very heart and life Of the city,
Jane Austen; Gainsborough and Lawrence
among painters; Wilberforce and Allen,
the friend OF Pope, among philanthropists;
Parr and Porson among scholars; Nelson
and Wolfe and Napier among naval and
military heroes; johnson and Gibson and
Southey and Lander among men of letters
this surely is a visitors list" and a
directory of residents, for the homes Of
those who dwelt there can be pointed out
I'm most cases 10 this day, of which any city
might be proud. Yet it Is far from being
a complete enumeration Of the famous men
whom Bath has attracted and i'm almost
every instance enrolled among the train of
her lifelong lovers.
To allow a city with such record Of
conquest TO sink into neglect and decay
would have been little less than national
reproach. Fortunately, however, there is
now no danger that it will be incurred

PRISON REMOVAL.

In addition to the report of the Superintendent of the prison, which will appear in our next issue, and which is an exhaustive one, the SENTINEL, without any local feeling, desires to cali attention to these pertinent facts:
 Upon the question of clothing, in the climate of Yuma, there is no need to use other than cotton goods Of course, stripped prison goods cost little more than plain goods, and there are only two firms in the United States that sell these stripped goods, having monopoly thereof. The stripped goods fol the prison at Yuma cost IA cents per yard.
 In the climate of Prescott wooler goods being necessary it would cost to furnish these suits fully 75 per cent more per yard Further, in Yuma, there IS never { necessity for any heating appar- atus. In Prescott there would b' an absolute necessity for sucl heating apparatus, outside th' bounds of cruelty. In Yuma wood is not costing anything, the same being cut on the prison farm In Prescott it would cost, at least eight dollars per cord.
The Arizona sentinel., 1897-02-06

TIE Gratam County Bulletin says: "It is opposed to the removal of the Territorial prison from Yuma at this time, for the good reason that the expense will be too great to be saddled on the people of Arizona who are now overbur- dened with taxes. We hope the legislature will lay the bill away for the present. With the coming of statehood and prosperity the proposition might be worthy ot consideration, but now it cannot be afforded" "
