dogs" sort of air, but hustles you ro-
bustly for equal space. Not that he is
a dangerous dog. He is simply boar
hound, a creature Of immense strength
and infinite courage, and courteous on
" out of condescension.
Although a type of prodigious anti
guilty, the Greeks having engraved
them, cropped ears and all, upon their
coins two thousand years ago, and
known through all the twenty centuries
that have elapsed since then as dogs
of war and of the chase, it is only with
in the memory of the present genera
ton that the Great Dane has taken
its place among the ranks Of dogs fit
for ladies' companionship and the free
dom of the nursery. They are faith
full, intelligent and docile, and as such
are now as popular among women as
any other Of the larger breeds. For
years Mr.. Hagenbach has exhibited
them as members Of his famous
happy family" wherein they live at
peace with leopards, tigers and bears,
and in more than one recent show of
performing dogs Great Danes have
been among the best disciplined ard
the most intelligent of the troupe.
The Yale expositor., 1897-11-26
The Great Dane,
or German MaStiff.

The Great Dane is the modern rep
resentative of the ancient boarhound.
On the continent of Europe, where its
Danish origin is repudiated, it is called
the German mastiff, and under this
head all its varieties are classed at
shows; while in Great Britain 1t is
called the Great Dane, and under that
name all the varieties of German mas
tiffs are catalogued.
The ordinary colors of the Great
Dane are shades of slate or red, with
out markings except the darker trace
along the spine, but very beautiful
variety is the notified Harlequin"
Dane, which. on a white or pale skin,
has markings or cloudings of red,
black, or slate. Were it wild beast,
the skin, as a trophy of the chase,
would be highly valued, for it is singu-
larly attractive. A variant of it is the
German tiger mastiff," which has
smaller and more regular spots (more
like the Dalmatian or plum pudding"
dog), the word tiger" of course, not
meaning in German "tigrine," nor, as
with us, suggesting striped; although
as matter of fact, our tiger cats, til
ger lilies and tiger moths are all spot
ted and not striped. The eyes of the
Harlequin Dane or tiger dogge should,
like those of the merle or marbled col
lies, be what are called china eyes, of
that queer white and blue that sug-
gests the opalescence of blindness, but
which, oddly enough, are very becom-
ing to dogs of the colors to which they
belong.
The Great Dane is beautiful crea-
ture, giving the impression at once of
both power and activity, and its tenn
per-look at its small keen eyes--is
exactly what one might expect from a
dog of war and of the chase, veneered
with the elegancies of civilization, for
it is equable and ode haut en- bas) good
tempered, but woe to the object that
irritates it. The conciliatory stranger
who goes to pat one as if it were q lap
dog finds a great blunt nozzle thrust
forcibly and roughly into his hand, or
perhaps into his ribs, as who should
say, 'All right, old fellow, I'm not go
ing to hurt you; you needn't pat me
and call me good dog" He never
awaits your permission to make your
acquaintance, but introduces himself
without formality if he wishes to know
you. Going through a narrow pas
sage, a Great Dane will take up more
than half the room. He does not drop
behind like the elegant hammered st.

Probably never in the history OF our
beloved country has so many economic
problems been pressing for solution
than are now engaging public atten-
ton. And never before has there been
manifested such widespread difference
OF opinion as to how these problems
of government should be settled Diff
ferences of opinion have led to serious
consequences in the past but it would
seem that our civilization is too strong
ly fortified for an appeal to anything
but reason. After all these differ
ences are nothing more than an intel
lectual search for the truth, in which
all are engaged. The fellow with
whom you do not agree is seeking the
same truth that you are pursuing. The
chances are that you are nearly at an
equal distance from it, The logic of
events is leading you to the same
point. You should try and keep this
fact in mind. Therefore be tolerant
and Christian-like toward your fN-
low. If he has false ideas, the very
fact that he is exploiting them aids
others to discover the truth.

HOW THE WHALE FIGHTS.
Tho LethaI sweep of Those TerribI,
laws.

Tho Lethal sweep of Those Terrible
Jaws.
Two killers" and a huge sword FISH
(xiphias), desperate with hunger, had
combined their forces and ventured to
attack half grown bull cachalot, says
the Cornhill Magazine. Nothing, / am
persuaded, but the direct necessity and
them to undertake so grave a conflict,
although II must needs be confessed
that their combination was powerful
one. 1t fell to the swordfish to lead
off, and he launched himself at the
whale like Whitehead torpedo, point
ed direct for the most vital part. But
a gentle swerve of the wary cachalot
presented to the attack. instead of the
vulnerable broadside, the oblique, i'm
penetrable mass Of his head. The aw-
full blow of the sword, impelled by the
furious speed of the mass behind it,
struck just before the whales eyes,
ripping a white streak diagonally up
ward through the gristly substance
covering the skull, but spending its
force in the air above, while the great
body following glided serpentlike right
over the whales head and fell helpless
ly upon the other side. With incred-
ible agility for so vast a bulk, the
cachalot turned, settling slightly with
al, then rising. lower jaw uppermost,
he caught the Xiphias fairly in the CEN
ter between those mighty shears and
cleft him in two halves. A sideway
shake of the great head, scarcely per-
ceptible gulp. and the tail half of the
swordfish slid down the whales cav
ernous throat with as much ease and
rapidly as if it had been an oyster.
Meanwhile the orcas had not been Ie-
miss in supporting the spirited attack
of their Inflated coadjutor. One hung
upon either flank of their giant foe and
worried him as dogs boar. But their
time had come After vainly endeav-
oring by rolling and writhing to free
himself from them he suddenly
changed his tactics. Rearing himself
majestically out of the seething oddes
like a mighty column of black rock,
he fell backward, tearing himself away
from the clinging monsters. Up rose
his enormous tail from the boiling vor-
tex, and, descending like a gigantic
scythe, literally crushed one Of his az
gressors beneath it. the sound of tic
blow reverberating like thunder The
survivor fed, but the infatuated Titan
pursued. leaping, like a dolphin, BALI
out of the sea at every bound, and. al
though we could not see the end Of The
chase, we had little doubt that crca
gladiator paid the full penalty Of his
rashness under the lethal sweep OF
those terrible jaws.

The Inter State Commerce commits
sion in their report say: The statis-
tics submitted show that the number
of railway employees killed during the
year ending June 30, 1896, was 1861,
and the number injured was 29.969
These figures indicate an increase Of
so in the number killed, and of 4,273
in the number injured, as compared
with the preceding year. The number
of passengers killed was 1S1, and the
number of passengers injured 2,S73,
being an increase of IL in the number
killed and of 49S in the number in
jured. The number of persons other
than employees and passengers killed
was 4,406, and the number injured
5,S45. These figures include casualties
to persons reported as trespassers, of
whom 3,S11 were killed and 4,46S were
injured From summaries showing
ratio of casualties it is found that for
every 444 men employed on railways 1
was killed. and for every % men en-
ployed1 was injured. A similar COM
parison as to trainmen shows that 1
trainman was killed for each 152 train
men employed, and that 1 trainman
was injured for each 10 trainmen en-
ployed. The number of passengers
carried for 1 passenger killed was g.
S27 Ala, and the number of passengers
carried for / passenger injured was
1882. AS showing in another way
the immunity of passengers from acct
dents the report gives ratios based
upon the number Of miles travelled,
from which 1t appears that 1908, 1868
passenger-miles were accomplished for
every passenger killed, and 4,541 ,945
passenger-miles for every passenger
injured.

Up to date the voters of New York
have elected thirty-two mayors. al
though there have been, all told. nine
ty-one in Office since the formation of
the municipality. The other sixty

New York mayors are proverbially

in Office since 1884, when the people
began choosing them by direct vote,
was William f. Havemeyer, who had
served in the same position twenty

Fducation in southern states.

New Orleans Times-Democrat The
example of Mississippi in providing a
frst-class common school education for
every child in the state is one that can
be profitably copied in Louisiana. The
Mississippians, having resolved at ev-
cry hazard to eliminate from the polls
the dangers of an ignorant suffrage,
coupled with the election provisions in
their new constitution such a sufficient
provision for education as has COM
manded the admiration of the whole

PICTURED POSTCARDS.
They Are. slowly Coming Into Use in
England.

Illustrated postcards are slowly
creeping into use in this country, but
enterprise and art have an opportun-
ity here of increasing and meeting
demand in this direction, says the Lon
don Telegraph. Postcards with repre-
sensations of interesting local scenes
have long been popular on the CONT
nent with residents, and visitors readi-
ly fall into the fashion. Ornamental
postcards and envelopes are constantly
used by correspondents, and postcard
collecting abroad is quite as common
as stamp collecting was in this coun-
try some time ago. The cards are
fastened in an album, especially made
for the purpose, or artlstically arrang-
ed in groups on walls and tables. Our
illustrated postcards will probably be
made varied as the tastes grow, and
with art and technical schools on every
hand there is no reason why they
should not lead to the establishment
of a new department of industry.
There is certainly no more ready or
pleasing way by which a friend can
give his correspondent an idea of his
surroundings. Many of the great pub
fishers are now issuing views of Eng
lish cathedrals and other places of his
toric interest and not a few pretty
landscapes. Some hotels, too. are us
ing cards with views calculated to in
vite customers. But people in this
country generally use the plainest pa
per and postcards. On the continent
the sales of these interesting little
works of art are enormous. and 1t is
stated an attempt to get one better
will be made by enterprising manu-
facturers there who contemplate re-
producing works of the old masters in
miniature. Firms in London who are
connected with German publishers
say they sell vast number of these
ornamental postcards abroad, and that
their customers greatly value them.
