LABRADOR DOGS.
How Number of Them Went on an I'm
promptu Hunt.

promptu Hunt.
The dogs of Labrador are not only
most useful as draft animals, but for
hunting as we'll A writer i'm Forest
and Stream, who has spent several sea-
sons in Labrador, relates rather thrill
ing experience with team of these
dogs, who, Inc says, trot along content
edly enough SO long as there is no game
in sight, but the moment they scent
game they seem to conclude that drag
ging sled is for them merely side is
sue; that their actual mission in life is
to go after the game whenever it is
within range. He says:
"a thaw had been followed by a
frost, and the snow covering tho ice on
the lakes was frozen hard So four of
our party got on the sleigh to have a
final drive. They started in great glee,
and Just as they rounded the first point
they saw fine young caribou buck
about 500 yards ahead. As soon as the
dogs saw it they gave yelp like pack
of wolves and started like an arrow
from bow after the caribou, which
looked round OH hearing the yelp, saw
its pursuers and flew over tho ice, keep
ing in the middle Of the lake. When the
dogs started with jerk, one of the party
was thrown off violently and slid a long
way bn the hard snow before he could
pull up, feeling redhot from the fric-
tion and gazing wistfully after his fast
disappearing comrades, who clung to
the sleigh like grim death and enjoyed
not the slightest chance of their catch.
| ing the animal, which, instead of max
| ing for tho bush on the nearest shore,
held OH in the middle of the lake, right
up to the end, where it took to the
woods. The impromptu hunters soon
found themselves in difficulty, for it
was impossible to stop the dogs, who
could not realize that they had sleigh
behind them with passengers. The
driver tried in vain to stop them, and
there was every probability of broken
limbs or necks when they would strike
the bush. However. they soon made up
their minds and dropped of one by one,
rolling over and over in the snow, or
sliding some distance away, with much
damage to their neither garments and
much abrasion Of the cuticle. Mean
while the dogs, relieved Of the weight,
rushed after the deer, and, entering the
woods, got tangled up among the trees,
and, as usual on such occasions, wound
up with free fight among themselves.
After extricating them the party re-em
barked and drove quietly back to the
house, where they repaired damages
related their adventure and wrote il
down in the clubs logbook."

New York Chinese Quarters.

There is one feature Of New York
amusements that is wholly unknown to
the Chinaman, and that is the concert
garden. To oongregate in q public place
to drink Intoxicating beverages, listen
to sensuous music and watch vulgar
displays Of the human figure, to be
waited upon by young women of more
than questionable character, to take
part in profane and obscene talk, all
this is beneath the dignity Of u China
man. and nowhere in the Chinese quar-.
ter. from beginning to end. can such q
place be found. But they are found on

THE MAGIC RING.
A Boys First Circus and His Impressions
Of Coralie the Peerless.

A thud Of unseen hoofs first set us
a-quiver; then a crash Of cymhals. a
jangle Of bells. hoarse, applauding
roar, and Coralie was in the midst of us,
whirling past 'twixt earth and sky,
now erect, flush, radiant, now crouched
to the flowing name, swung and tossed
and nodded by the maddening dance
music of the band. The mighty whip Of
the count in the frock coat marked time
with pistol shots; his warcry, whooping
clear above the music, fired the blood
with passion for splendid deeds, as
Coralie, laughing exultantly, crashed
through the paper hoops We gripped
the red cloth in front of us, and our
souls sped round and round with Co.
ralie, leaping with her, prone with her,
swung by name or tail with her. 1t was
not only the ravishment of her delirioas;
feats, nor her cream colored horse Of
fairy breed, long tailed, roe footed-an
enchanted prince surely, If ever there
was one--it was her more than mortal
beauty-,lisplayed, too, under condi-
tions never vouchsafed to us before
that held us spellbound.
What princess had arms so dazzling
ly white, or went delicately clothed in
such pink and spangles? Hitherto we
had known the outward woman as but
drab thing. hourglass shaped. nearly
legless. punched here, CONSTRUCTED there,
slow OF movement and given to depre-
eating, lusty action Of limb. Here was
o revelation. From henceforth our inn
aginations would have to be revised and
corrected up to date. In one Of those
swift rushes the mind makes in high
strung moments saw myself and Co

So mods thy dear head now.

Como round thy cradle, singing

GENESIS OF ARlsTOCRACY.
Some of the Men who Founded Princely
HOuses.

Some of the Men who Founded PrinceIy
Houses.
History shows that aristocracy is an in
stance of the survival of the flttest In the
days of personal violence it was those who
could give and take the hardest knocks
that became the founders of princely
houses and Napoleon's campaigns and
Englands colonial wars demonstrate that
the principle is still valid. But the old
conditions, though they have not changed
at ALL have been much modified by cir
cumstances, and what the man of iron was
of yore the man of gold is today. The mer
chant prince, the cotton lord, the Napo'
leon of finance, are the men who give and
take the hard knocks in our day, and the
result is the same. For benetiting them
selves they are rewarded with titles and
honors abroad, with adulation at home,
and escutcheons still mean that their pos
SCISSORS have triumphed in the struggle for
life. The means employed have changed.
The moated grange and the battleax have
been replaced by the counting house and
the check book, but the principle remains.
Might, not right, is what Is worshiped
or feared today as in the times of Richard
PIantagenet The medieval conditions
have persisted with the medieval attitude
Of man. So, having defeated his enemies,
triumphod over difficulties and acquired
wealth. which is power, man intrisues for
q title in Europe and drives u tho station
er's to order coat of arms nc home, and
here, as abroad, the descendants of the fit
test Of earlier generations who are not eff
flcient fighters themselves are pushed to
the wall by the strong mon of the day, as
has been the case since feudalism was born
Of the dark ages. A poor aristocracy can
persist only in u poor country like Ger
many, where, moreover, the military sys-
tenn fosters it by supplying it with its he
reditary ccupation-solGiCring But in
mercantile nGticD the poor nristocrat dis
appears 20 make place fer new aristocra-
cy that has won the favors Of tho golden
calf And so it has always boon, for 10 Is

English peer was deprived of his rank be-
cause he did not have the means 10 upheld

INDIA RUBBER.
Tests by Which the Quality of the Ma
terial May BE Established.

Tests by Which the Quality of the Ma.
terial May he Established.
Some few years ago Lieutenant Via
dimiroff Of the Russian navy made Sc
ries Of experiments to establish the test
ing of rubber goods ON sound and sat
isfactory basis, the following being the
main conclusions at which he arrived.
1t will be seen that the tests advocated
are physical ones, as he came to the con-
clusion that chemical testing gave no
reliable results.
First.-India rubber should not give
the slightest sign of superficial cracks
on being bent to an angle of $50 de-
grees after five hours exposure in q
closed air bath to u temperature of 1875
degrees G. The test pieces should be
about centimeters thick.
Second. Rubber containing not more
than so per cent by weight of metallic
oxides should stretch to five times its
length without breaking.
Third. Pure caoutchouc free from
all foreign matter, except the sulphur
necessary for its inflammation, should
stretch seven times its length without
breaking.
Fourth. - The extension measured
Immediately after rupture should not
exceed IL per cent of the original length
of the test piece. The test pieces should
be from to ~ millimeters wide, and
not more than g millimeters thick and
3 centimeters long.
Fifth. Tho percentage of ash gives
a certain indication of the degree of
softness, and may form basis for the
choice between different qualities for
certain purposes.
ANY excuses Of sulphur over that re-
quired for inflammation should be re-
moved at the works, and should not APP
pear on the surface of any object.
Now, these tests on the whole seem
very well calculated to give useful indi-
cation to engineers as TO the quality of
the goods they are buying only we
would interpolate here the remark that
unless good price is paid for the rub
Der it is no use submitting it to such
physical tests as these. India rubber
substitutes made from oil and recover
ed rubbers that is, old rubber worked
up again with oil-have nothing like the
elasticity appertaining to new, sound
rubber, and they are quite incapable of
standing the elongation or heat tests
