NOT ALWAYS SAVAGE.

It is q mistake to suppose that blood
hounds used in this country in slavery
times to hunt runaway negroes and il
these days to run down thieves and muir.
derers are always savage beasts. On
the contrary, they are harmless and
when they catch up with the object Of
their search will run to him to play OF
lie down and take no further notic<
unless he should start to run, when they
will follow. Bloodhounds always give
cry when on a hot scent or when the
man is In sight, but for most par1
their hunt is as silent as shadow.
Down in Carthage township in Han
cock county "Uncle Dick Mack oncs
kept a pack Of bloodhounds, and be
used them for hunting deer. They've
full-blooded creatures, with the droop

ears that hung close TO the head. They

as kittens.

vent the possible extension of a slight
osseouS excrescence which has appeared
on his craLium and the place where his
majesty was struci; by a japanese IA

The latter, combined with overwork,
has caused the car to suffer from verti-

respondent, that the imperial couple
should go to Livadia for rest and change

senting the car during their absence.
This plan seems to have been dropped or
deferred until after the carnival"
Berlin, Jan. 1s.-Dr. Bergman, the
we'll known German specialist, denies the
report emanating from st. Petersburg
that he has been summoned to perform
an operation upon the car.

MOST CONTENDED SENTIMENT.
1T has been my lot to travel all over
the world. | know of no settlement un-
der the sun that is more contended than
Ruskin. The men who are here are
here for a purpose. They are going to
stay here until the theory which they
have proposed as the solution of the
social problem shall have succeeded or
failed. They are men who have learned
to think for thmselves-men from the
trades-common men.
They who have thought out the plan
have come to realize that the man who
gets up the platform and tells about it
knows nothing of socialism. It must
be lived. We have lived it for about
three years. There is not a man in the
community who will not tell Tou that
he and his family have prospered under
it. The change is apparent from day
to day. The women become gentler. as
they have more time for things outside
the life of drudgery of the working
mans home. The children get manners
and graces from our Kindergarten, and
they take them to the households. There
is one constant stream of improvement

A Jubilee Song.

Withered slave of the molten steel,
Lungless wreck of the grinders wheel
Palsied drudge Of the poisonous mine,
Paupered ghost of manhood line,
Come, lift your pew1ers with three
times three,
And toast Victorias jubilee.
Scottish crOfter of visage gaunt,
Victim ever of toll and want;
Irish peasant of ragged coat,
Whom landlord and ruler smote;
Lift high your nogsiEs with three
times three,
And tOasts VictOria's Jubilee,
Manned Survivors of glorvs host,
Legless, foOtless and fortune-tossed:
Shrivelled drift of the chilling sea,
Mate of pains and poverty,
Lift your glasses with three times
three
And toasts Victoria's jubilee.
Famished ryot of Hindostan,
Plundered Burmese and wronged Ar
CHAN,
Hunted Zulu and threatened Boer,
Swell the sweet music and foot the
floor,
Drain your goblets with three times
three,
And tOasts Victoria's jubilee.
